BABBITT PLANS
NEW BUILDINGS

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt intends to ask the Legislature
for appropriations for three reinforced
concrete school houses to be built dur
ing the coming, biennial period. One
of these is a building for the Hilo
Union school. Another is for the Ha-
napepe district, ana the third is for
Honolulu. The building for Hilo will
be the largest and most expensive.
The superintendent has designed
plans for the school for Honolulu, and
believes he has design that will give
the maximum of room and other facil-
tiles and requirements for the minimum
of money. 1t is to be a two-story and
basement building and will contain
fourteen recitation rooms large enough
to be provided with single seats, to-
gether with an assembly room large
enough for that sized school, besides
rooms for domestic science, sewing and
manual training for boys.
The general plan is building with
a hall down the longitudinal axis of
the building with transept half and
a portico entrance. There will be four
recitation rooms on either side of the
transept hall each well lighted and well
ventilated. In the basement will be
cloak rooms and toilets for boys and
for girls and on one side sewing
room and on the other manual train
ing room. The building will be high
enough from the ground to give good
light and ventilation to the basement
The general plan of the second floor
will be much the same as that of the
first except that the longitudinal hall
will not extend clear through but will
lead to the assembly hall which will
occupy the entire end of the building
An office for the principal and library
building will occupy part of the
space corresponding to the transept hall
on the first floor, but will extend out
over the portico. There will be six
recitation rooms on this floor.

our opinion, which is an echo of the
voice of God, the curse of a just God
will be upon them.
But the laborers need not wait for
any curse of God that may fall upon
the planters They have within their
power the way to revenge themselves.
If their just demand is denied to them
they can force it either by quitting
work or by working less. Strikes are
the weapon of labor and are justified
by President Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft.
1.-THE editor, however, does not adj
vice the laborers to resort to strikes
right away, for he says tit might be
equally detrimental to the interests of
both employers and employees. He
advices laborers to work less, until
better wages be paid by the planters
He says: Japanese are paid only a
third of the wages paid to Portuguese
and Porto Ricans and should not be
expected to do more than a third of
the work done by the other races. If
the Japanese work more they are
nothing but .d-m fools "

SEVENTY MEN
NOW At WORK

More than seventy workmen are en-.
gagged in raising the structures to house
the two squadrons of the Fifth Cavalry
troopers and mounts-at Leilehua.
Lumber is being shipped out and cars
full of other building materials are on
the siding at Leilehua on the main line
of the Wahiawa branch of the o. r.
g. l.. Company. From the siding the
materials are teamed across the Lei
lehua plain to the present temporary
site about a mile and quarter beyond
the Leilehua ranch, between the ranch
house and the Waianae gap.
Work. is being rushed, but as the
orders were issued to Captain Cashier
to build cavalry cantonment and the
two squadrons of the Fifth are due here
on January 10, it is needless to say
that the cantonment will be ready on
that date.
1t is understood that when the mat
ter of the cantonment and the future
brigade post at Leilehua was being dis.
cussed at Washington, the statement
was made by those high in authority
on military questions, that the Leilehua
post is to be the model encampment of
the United States Army.

DECISION IN
MAYORALTY FIGHT
trrom sundays AavertIser.,

NrAOhh SuhuaS . AuNNihocED
The Supreme Court yesterday over
ruled the demurrer in the Mayoralty
contest, and Monday, December 81, was
set for the petitioners to present their
evidence to show that there is ground
for a recount.
The court was unanimous in overrul-
ing the demurrer, but differed as to tho
grounds for it. Chief Justice Hartwell
and Judge De Bolt held that the cleo
ton district mentioned in the statute,
in this case meant the whole city and
county, that being the district that
elected the mayor. Justice Wilder held
that it meant one of the six deputy
sheriff districts into which the city and
county is divided.
The question of whether there shall
be recount of the votes or not is yet
to be decided. 1t will depend on wheth-
er the petitioners are able to present
evidence leading to the belief that there
has been error in the count of the cleo
ton officials.
The demurrer in the Kauai case was
argued by George A. Davis and L. c.
Peters for the respondent and E. NJ
Watson and w. w. Thayer for the pc
titioner. The case was taken under ad-
visement.

MOONSH|NE BREWERY
RA|OED NEAR WA|MEA

Walter Doyle of the Internal Revenue
Department had other experiences than
not getting the lunch put up for him
by Mine Host Bidgood of Haleiwa, the
day he went down the Oahu railway.
He raided and broke up moonshine
brewery in the mountains between Wa
ialua and Waimea. That was what he
went out there for. 1t has been sus-
pected for some time that an Illicit
mountain dew establishment was being
conducted by Japanese there, but all
efforts in the past to locate the concern
have failed.
Doyle went out ostensibly dove shoot
ing. He wandered around in the noun
tains and gulches as though he had
bad attack of the wanderlust. But he
found the brewery.
The stuff is made out of rice, taro
and some kind of seaweed and is a
sort of combination of sake and swipes
"a hybrid mixture that is as effective
as either. 1t is fermented liquor, not
a distilled one. Doyle found guam
tity of it in preparation though this
batch had not yet got into the fermen-
tation stage.

George w, Carr, railway mail inspec.
tor, watched the delivery of the mail
aboard, and then accompanied by a
postofiice clerk went aboard to attend
personally to the transfer to the Ari-
conan. The despatch of this lot of mail
to the Arizonan is a somewhat unusual
procedure, and as Mr.. Carr is respon-
sible he felt IL his duty to go along
with it.
"Mr. Carr is liable to be little i'll
by the time he reaches Kaanapali, un-
less he is particularly good sailor"
said Captain Haglund as the LikenKe
started. The wind was blowing hard
and the sea outside was rough, and the
Likelike drew but two feet forward,
80 that her bow stood high up above
the water.
Mr., Carr had only praise for Presi-
dent Kennedy of the Inter-Island Com
pany for the free offer of the services
of the Likelike, for 1t not only helped
the pOstofiice people but relieved the
minds of many Honolulans by getting
their gifts well on the way to the re-
membered ones on the mainland before
Christmas Day arrives.

LIKELIKE GOES OUT LADEN
WITH CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

All the big Christmas mail for the
Coast left Honolulu yesterday afternoon
aboard the Inter-Island steamer Like
like for Kaanapali, and early this
morning will be transferred to the
American Hawaiian freighter Arizonan
and will reach San Francisco on De-
eember 81.
1t was all the mail, save one wee let.

of mail was thrown aboard the Like
like a young man ran down the wharf
and threw couple of letters over the
rail. AS the steamer was swinging
away from the wharf Japanese mess
hoy ran forward and held letter over
to Wharfnger Fern.
"No can take this letter, Missa
Fern" he shouted. "This letter not
right kind of eBevelope. This fellow
he put two one-cent stamp on. That

The Japanese messboy was right. The
envelope, had il been stamped cover
ing, would have been taken and ear
ried on to its destination, but two de
taehable stamps on an envelope which
is sent aboard to be placed in the
steamers pouch, is not in conformity
with the postoffice regulations.
Eighty-one sacks of mail were sent
from here, bulky mass weighing 9904
pounds. 1t looked to he much more as
much of the mail was composed of
large packages, presumably Christmas
gifts.

THE MAYORALTY
CONTEST CASE
cFrom saturday,s AdvertIser.,


The defendant IS demurrer in the
mayoralty contest was argued at length
yesterday morning before the Supreme
Court with Judge De Bolt sitting in the
place of Justice Ballou, who is absent
from the Territory. In taking up the
case the Court entered rule, appli-
cable to all election contests, and dur
ing the hearing another one applicable
to this case. These two rules are as
follows:
GA rule of court will be made that
in election contests the court will set
the case for hearing upon the defend
ants fling his demurrer, plea or an
swer, which he will be at liberty to do
at any time before the return day; that
no replication or rejoinder in demurrer
will be fled. =
''It is ordered upon the courts mo-
ton that the plaintiffs affidavits be
struck from the files, together with the
defendant IS motion to strike them off
and the plaintiffs joinder in demurrer
J and motion to set the case for hear
ing"
L. NJ. Watson and w. W. Thayer ap-
peared for Mayor-elect Fern, and
George A. Davis and A. G. NJ. Robert
son appeared for the petitioners Ku-
like and Others.
One of the two principal points in.
volved in the demurrer was what
the provision of the statute that thirty
qualified electors of "any election dis
trict'' might begin contest means
that is, what is the meaning of the
words "any election district.n The
Importance of the question lies in the
fact that of the thirty-six petitioners
twelve are from the Fourth Represen-
tative District and twenty-four are from
the Fifth, but the recount asked for is
only of certain precincts, one in he
Fourth District and the others in th7
Fifth, and there are not thirty voters
from any one election precinct Davis
contended that as the senatorial dis
trict was coterminous with the city and
county that it is the district meant by
the law in this case.
The other point is that the petition
only claims that 21Ss votes were legally
cast for Lane, while the election re-
turns give Fern 1920.
The case was taken under advisement
At 10 'clock this morning the court
will take up the auditor contest from
Kauai.
Title Quieted.
Judge De Bolt has given judgment in
the action to quiet title brought by
Gustave Rose and Helene Kruger
against Rosina Rose, Bertha Rumbel
and Maud Kaikilani Chapman. The
land in question is on Adams Lane.
The court finds, that the plaintiffs are
each entitled to an undivided one-third
of the property and that one of the
Z defendants, Maud Kaikilani Chapman
. is entitled to the other undivided one
third, and that the other two defend
ants have no right, title or interest in
the property, Judgment is given ac-
cordingly.

HAWAII IS RATED
A MERE POSSESSION
NOTICE.

Office of the Second Assistant Post.
master General, Division of For.
eign Mails.
To the Postmaster, Honolulu, Hawaii:
Relative to the agreement recently
concluded between the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland and the
United States providing for reduction
in the letter rate of postage between
the two countries, / have to inform
you that it has been determined that
the term I" United States" in the agree
ment in question embraces only the
States themselves and the Territories,
including Alaska, on the continent of
North America, and does not embrace
Hawaii, Porto Rico, and other posses
sions of the United States.
JOSEPH STEWART,
Second Assistant Postmaster-General
October Z, 1908.
According to the ruling of the Post
office Department, Hawaii is not a part
of the United States. The foregoing is
Ia delayed response to a request made
by Postmaster Pratt for a ruling under
the recent postal agreement between
Great Britain and the United States.
MIR. Pratt has been proceeding on the
theory that these Islands being a Ter
|ritQry of the United States were a part
|of it. The Postmaster-General or the
~ Government appears to think
otherwise. The subject is one that will
probably be taken up by the public
organizations of the city.

Many Reports Circulated.

Subsequently report was started to
the effect that the control of the Te-
huantepec railroad, which conveys the
freight of the Observation-Disclosures line
to the Gulf of Mexico, had, too, passed
to Hartman. This, and other reports,
were circulated freely. An effort was
made week ago to confirm them at
the offices of the steamship company
and elsewhere.

HORSEY CHAT ON TROTTERS AND PAGERS

but the son of Athel would not extend
| himself in any part Of it, as the time
made will show. While Harry Lake is
a fast, good headed '~trotter, there are
| many horsemen who still believe he is
| not as fast a horse as the chestnut
stallion.
At Baltimore last week Fred Ballan-
tine purchased the fast green trott1ns
mare Red Queen, by Red Wood, a son
of Red Wilkes. Those who have seen
her perform predict a brilliant future
for the granddaughter of Red Wilkes.
When any horseman whose anoin
and success in the game is largely due
to the complimentary reference to him
by turf writers, falls TO cussing the
turf writers solely because compli-
mentary reference Is made to some
other horseman, it only proves that the
offended squealer Is so small that ne
does not stand knee high among reaI
horsemen and gentlemen.
The chestnut trotting gelding Tommy
who started In the 1928 trial on Satur-
day. acts as though he would be quite
a race horse with a little handling and
a little schooling in the art of getting
away in a gang.

A RAY Of
HOPE IN TIGERS
FOOTBALL CAMP
No-Score Games Against La
fayette and Syracuse Have Not
Blotted Out All Hope.

Princeton football men are not entire
ly discouraged because of the showing
made by the Tigers against syracuse.
of the knowing ones were some-
what amazed at the weak attack OF the
Jungleites, but no wall of distress
comes from the camp of the jersey COLI
legians. Princeton men are proud OF
the way the team defends the GOAL Lac,
and have hopes of having Tie colors
of Old Nassau wav v~ictoriously in the
breeze after the three big games TO tie
played. 1t seems to be the idea at
Princeton that the goal line of the
Tigers is sacred territory ana cannot
be crossed.
What Princeton met in Syria ,-.e Sat-
urday Is what they must meet IN the
Yale eleven, only that the Blue win be
much more perfect and possessed OF
twice as much spirit to win. That is
the reason that Tad" Jones was 50
pleased at the result. 1t indce e looks
bad for the Tigers when they meet
the Bulldog" this year. 1t seams that
the Tigers have the secondary defense
in Coke and Cunningham, who dived
into the plays after they had plowed
through the weakened line and stopped
them. If Coach Roper can strengthen
his line and Captain Dillon gets into
the fray. it may be a different story
when Yale meets the Tigers.
