CHARITIES HIT
 BY DEPRESSION Business Slackness Crowds Springside and Makes Need
 of More Money
 Apparent.
INSANITY INCREASE IS BIG
Rattelsdorfer Submits Deficit Account of $5,400 in His Account
 to the Board of Finance.

Every member of the board O, finance was present last evening at
 the weekly session and had before hin some important business to consider.
 A communication came up from City Engineer Kelly, calling the boards at- tention to what seemed to be an error in the printing of the itemized budget for his department for the ensuing year. It omits two items of $4S7 and MT. Kelly asks that the error be cor rected. After general discussion ac- tion was deferred for a week.
 MT. Rattelsdorfer, the former super intendent of the department of chari- ties and correction. then appeared be- fore the board and read a communica- ton from tho charities board asking that permission be granted to transfer the surplus of various funds to the fund for the support of the outside poor. After Mir. Rattelsdorfer had fin ished reading the communication he told why the work of the department would need considerably more money than had been asked when the budget was made up, He said that when the charities board last October had fig- ured out the amount necessary to run the department for the ensuing year they had not foreseen the busines furry that occurred the latter part of that month, resulting in the shutting down of many factories and the throw ing out of work of many men. Then, also, insanity has increased alarming ly in the past few months and there are many pauper insane In the Middle town institution for whom the city must pay
 The almshouse has the largest num- Der of inmates it has ever had there. being AIS inmates at the present time, 50 of whom are able-bodied men who have not been able to secure work. This great increase in the number of inmates has required the expenditure of considerable sum for the purchase of bedding, clothing and other supplies. Superintendent Rattelsdorfer said that 1t was compulsory for him to admit to all paupers or indigents who could show they had lived in New Haven four years. He said that one solution of the problem of having 50 able-bodied men living on the city would be to have @ workhouse. Fol lowing Is the itemized list of the deficit in the charities department as submit ted by MT. Rattelsdorfer:

MACARONI CO. s
HOUSE WARNING

The banquet given on Saturday night
by the officers and directors of the Ha-
waiian Macaroni Company, in their
new premises on Beretania street, was
one of the most successful entertain
ments of its kind ever given in Homo
lulu.
The large building was tastefully de-
corated with palms and other plants,
while Japanese and American flags
were also used in profusion around the
banquet hall. The guests were receiv-
ed by the President, X. Yamamoto, who
had a cheering welcome for everyone.
A large number of invitations had
been sent out, and Judging from the
people present, very few declined.
Speeches were made by X. Yamamoto
Inspector Halsey of the Immigrant
Station, Alexander Hume Ford, ana
many others, and it was very late when
the last guest had left for home.

COPYRIGHT SUIT

An interesting case, which will in
volve a point of law that has sell
dom been brought up in this Terri
tory, will be tried before Judge Dole
on Wednesday, This is the case of
volve subject in law which has sell
A f, Burke VS.. the Relief and Burial
Association. Virtually, as far as Ho
nolulu is concerned, J. +. Townsend
is suing M. E. Silva for infringement
Of copyright.
A. f. Burke, of Ohio, originated the
scheme in which he is represented in
this city by j. II. Townsend. An asso-
citation was formed, the members of
which paid in monthly dues and upon
death were ensured decent burial,
with a certain number of hacks, a
properly fitted casket and other like
equipment for the occasion. A copy
right of the document describing the
scheme was obtained and on the
ground that this copyright protects
the plan the present suit is being
brought.
At the time when the plan was first
brought out here NJ e. Silva was in
the employ of Townsend. Becoming
acquainted with the details of the
plan, he left his position and started
the Relief and Burial Association
using the same plan with a few slight
variations, such as providing for, a
small benefit, amounting to $40 or $50
for the relatives of the deceased.
The point which is, to be fought
out-whether the copyright protects
the entire scheme or simply the docu
ment which describes twill make an
interesting contest The complainant
is represented by Thompson & Glenn
ons and the defendant by E. c. Pc

TURBINE
STEAMSHIP
UNION IRON WORKS MAN GOING
TO STUDY THE ENGINES On
LINERS FIRST TRIP.

Fred A. Gardner, the representative
OF the Union Iron Works who is bound
for Yokohama on the Nippon Maru. in
speaking this morning about his trip
stated 81 am going out to meet the
new turbine steamer lenyo Maru. and
will make "a careful study of her en-
gines on her trial trip, or to be more
exact her maiden trip to the United
States.
THE installing of turbine engines in
Pacific liner is something entirely
new, and the entire shipbuilding word
is looking forward to see how they
work. There is a great deal of differ
ence between turbine,anu reciprocating
engines, and my object is to see the
Tenyo under all conditions so that
can report to my company on my re-
turn.
From all accounts she has exceed
ed her contract speed, and has gone
far ahead of her builders expectations
in every way.
I'm time l think that all new ships
will be installed with turbine engines
with oil for fuel, as it has proved very
successful in a number of cases. The
new ships of the Cunard line have
proved that turbine engines are better
than the old style of vertical recipro-
eating engines, and my company is
anxious to see how the Tenyos are
going to act.
This new ship of the Japanese will
probably be full every trip for some
time to come, as l find the travelling
public is always anxious for something
new in the steamship line.
81 am looking forward very much to
the trip back on the new ship, and l
will do my best to give an account OF
her performance on my return"
Mr.. Gardeners statement that the in
stalling of turbine engines in a Pacific
liner is entirely new is not quite cor
rect. Last year the Canadian-Austra-
liam Line had the Maheno, a turbine
boat, temporarily on its route.

maui JuDGESHIP

1t is understood that Governor Frear
has been asked by the President,
through the Department of Justice,
probably, for an expression OF his
opinion on the matter of reappoint-
ing Kepoikai, as Judge for the Second
Circuit Court in Maui, What answer
was made is not known.
The Governor did not deny having
received such a communication when
asked about it at noon today, but was
noncommittal on the whole matter. Il
guess that is something | would better
not say anything about just now" was
all he would say.
Some time ago the Governor in
timated that he should probably not
take part in the Judgeship light on
Maui, inasmuch as the position is a
Presidential appointment but admitted
that it was likely that he would be ask
ed for an expression of opinion before
the appointment was made This is
exactly what seems to have taken place
but it cannot as yet be stated what re-
commentator the governor made when
the matter was put up to him. The
filling of the Office within a short time
will probably be the first that is known
on the matter, definitely.

JAPANESE VAGRANT

A large number of cases were on
the calendar this morning at Police
Court, but were disposed of with the
usual alacrity.
Koda, young Japanese who is one
of the leading members of the never
work club" was sent over this morn
ing for six months. The Japanese
Consul had been asked to do some
thing for this man but refused to have
anything to do with the NATTER pre-
charge of the case.
Five DRINKS netted the Territory
$24. Three gamblers were found
guilty and fined Sc each.
Two Hawaiian girls were fined IS
each for disturbing the quiet of the
ferring the police to take entire
night. The rest of the cases were
continued until later dates

NEW SUBURB
GOES AHEAD
HOUSES ERECTED AND
OTHERS PROJECTED ON ALEWA
HEIGHTS-ROADS AND WATER.

The little settlement which was COM
menced only a few months ago. after
the sale of lots on Alewa Heights by
the Government, is progressing rapid
ly. Already several substantial cot
tages have been erected and many i'm
provements have been made in the line
of setting out trees and clearing the
ground.
II it was not for the fact that the
road leading to the lots was in very
bad shape, as the result of the heavy
rains Of the last few days, thus making
it almost impossible to haul lumber,
there would be more cottages. The
first 1000 feet from Wyllie street was
macadamized and is in fine shape, but
there was not enough money to com
plete the work in this manner and the
dirt road above has been badly wash
ed out. AS the result considerable re-
pairs are needed and it is hoped that
they will be made in the near future.
Pipes have been laid connecting the
lower lots with the city water mains
and thus giving them water from the
NuuanG reservoir. The upper lots will
have to wait till pumping apparatus
has been installed, as there is not
enough pressure to take water to that
height. In the meantime, however,
several of the lots owners have erect
ed large tanks and find that the rain
fall is sufficient to give a very good
supply.
Among those who have been at work
preparing to occupy their lots Is j. X.
Collins, of the Honolulu Brewery, who
has built fine cottage. C. H. Desky
and r. II. Trent have put up small
buildings and e. P. Fogarty, known as
the mayor OF the new suburb, has also
completed and furnished a cottage. j.
II. Donaghho, a teacher in the High
school, and Willis T. Pope, the dean OF
the new Agricultural College, both eX-
pect to start work on residences next
month as does j. II. Schnack. r. ID,
Creedon has fenced in his lot, cleared
the ground and will build soon.
According to the terms of the sale
all the purchasers must clear their
lots before August l and must keep
them so cleared for three years, when
they may obtain full title to the land
Almost all those who bought lots nave

Surprised
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
HID WAS NOT NOTIFIED Or
TRIAL IN LUCWEIKO CASE.

The decree of Judge Lindsay in the
case Of Il. M. Harrison VS.. William
Savidge, administrator of the estate OF
Frank Lucweiko, ct al, was filed this
morning, pursuant to the decision
rendered some time ago. A copy Of the
decree was sent to Attorney General
Hemenway, who represented the Ter
ritory's interests in the case, but who
stated that he had never been notified
of the trial, and that the receipt of the
decree was the first knowledge that he
had had that the case had been tried.
The case is one in which Harrison
sued the administrator and Land Com
missioner Pratt for attorney fees, gar
nishing the $500 received by the Luc-
weiko estate from a decision OF the
courts against the Territory in a dam
age suit incurred in a land exchange.
The decree is in favor of the plaintiff.

NEWSPAPER DINNER

There were press and police doings
at Scotty's Saturday evening, not be-
cause any alarm had been sent in but
for the reason that E. P. Irwin of the
Bulletin is going away in the lrmgard
and Chief of Detectives A. p. Taylor
is bound for the coast when the trans
port Buford comes along. 1t was 4
two-edged send-off and a feast was the
main exercise, though it was followed
by fireworks and a mock trial, the
guests of honor being handcuffed dur
ing the excitement following an
explosion of cannon crackers I'M
der the table and placed on trial
before Judge Logan on charges of \
terrible nature. 1t was an imaginary
crime, however, and Taylor and Irwin
were not really guilty. Conness is
supposed to be responsible for the
fireworks, which frightened the police.
The only damage done was when Il
firecracker went up Poet Ayres' trousar
leg and scorched his calf. Except for
the fireworks and eloquence it was an
unusually quiet affair. Taylor was
wished a pleasant vacation and was
voted a good fellow and a good man in
the Office ne holds. 1t was regretted
/ that Irwin was giving up local newS-
paper work to become an author.
The repast was well gotten up and
dainty violets were strewn generously
about the cloth, a bunch being pro-
vided for each guest.
The guests were George Henshall, w.
J. Cooper, L. P. CONFESS, Daniel Logan,
James w. W. Brewster and w. r..
Sabin of The star; Charles Albright, H..
p. Irwin and Mr. Hakuole of the Bull
letin; r. o. Matheson and n. M. Ayres
of the Advertiser; and Chief Taylor,

nell and Charles Rose of the police de-
partment.

AMBASSADOR HILL

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
President and Secretary Root are
amazed at the action of Emperor Will
liam in giving notice that David Jayne
Hill, minister to the Netherlands, is
persona non grata to him as the sue
cessor to Ambassador Charlemagne
Tower at Berlin. Neither the presi-
dent nor the secretary had any intima-
ton until today that Minister Hill
would not be welcome at Berlin.
Last November, when the announce
ment was made that Hill was to sue
coed Tower, the State Department had
taken pains to obtain from the foreign
office at Berlin the usual assurance
that the new ambassador was persona
grata.
The intimation that Minister Hill
gave offense in some way while Prince
Henry was in Washington in 1902 is
not credited here. Not only was Hill
complimented by the president for his
skill in conducting the matters per-
tanning to the royal visitors entertain
ment, but Prince Henry himself thank
ed Hill and gave him his photograph
duly autographed with his good wishes.
