"In this way we are prone to
believe that organizations not con-
trolled by us are of necessity

the contrary is the fact. We must

find that all the good is not con-

PRACTICAL COOKING
AND CARPENTRY WORK

superintendent of Public instruction
Babbitt has received a report of work
done in carpentry and cookery at the
Holualoa school, over which he is very
enthusiastic. 1t shows, in his estima-
ton, what can be- done in these prac-
teal and manual training studies
where the teacher enters upon the
work con amore. The description of
the work and the report Of what has
been done in carpentry shows that
the pupils have. done practical work,
making tables for the school rooms,
towel-racks. bulletin boards and other
articles and done other carpentry work
about the school buildings.
The report on cooking is quite de-
tailed, and follows the work from the
beginning, step by step. But it is
more than mere instruction in cook

matters of housekeeping, 1t includes

MAHOGANY CD.
HAS THE GOODS
Prominent Furniture Maker Is
Enthusiastic Over the
Hawaiian k0a.

'The Hawaiian Mahogany Com
pany has the goods, was the terse re-
mark made by o. j. Barker, of the firm
of Barker Brothers, of Los Angeles,
the biggest furniture firm of the West,
when asked what he thought of the Ha-
waiian wood for the furniture trade,
and what prospects the company had.
1.-THE Hawaiian Mahogany Company
has the goods, all right, but they want
to get busy. There are furniture max
ers in Chicago and Grand Rapids wait
ing for that material There are piano
makers all over the Union who will
want lots of it. Quarter-cut oak is
bringing $92 a thousand, and the ex-
perts figure that there are only thirty
years supply in sight. African ma
hogany brings 500, and the dealers are
glad to pay that for it to get it. A
Seattle firm has just made contract
with mahogany men in the Philippines
at $96, and glad to do it. The Ha-
waiian company has the goods to sell,
just the kind the cabinetmakers are
securing the earth after.
"Now they want to get in modern
machinery and put their wood on the
market. They ought to get some ex-
perts to point out where they are
wasting valuable material, too. / saw
material that thev are going to sell by
the foot that is generally sold by the
pound, the finest kind of wood for We
neers. / don t want to talk too much,
but you can say that that company GER
tainly has the goods.
Mr.. Barker is enthusiastic in his
praise of the quality of the cabinet ma
terial being taken out by the koa lum-
berers of Hawaii. He is an expert in
woods, and from what he has to say
regarding his trip to Hawaii it is prob
able that he has closed a contract for
supply of koa. He would not CON
firm this, however, referring the inter
viewer to the company managers.
There is one kick Mr.. Barker has
coming, and it is big one Now that
he has finished his business here. he
cannot get away, and the steamship
companies can give hlm no assurance
as to when there will be a liner for the
Coast with accommodation for him.
FThere are. two hundred or so book
ed ahead of me for the Manchuria; the
Hilonian is booked full for the next
two or three trips from here" he
states 81 can get no satisfaction from
the steamship agents, and | simply have

ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST HAGUE
CONFERENCE IS CELEBRATED
Peace Sunday Fittingy Observed in Three
Churches in Special Services and
Special Addresses.

Honolulu yestereven most fittingly
sobserved the anniversary of the first
great peace conference at The Hague,
where ENJOYS from the great nations
gathered TO inaugurate a tribunal
looking to the disarmament of ma
tions and the universal blessings of
peace through reason rather than by
the sword.
In three city churches there were
held services at which representa- tives
of government, the press and the law
delivered messages of good tidings
drawn from the lesson of civilization's 3
gradual advancement and contributed
to the general knowledge the wisdom
of their several observations.
United States Judge Sanford B. Dole
and Walter G. Smith spoke at Central
Union, Judge Kingsbury delivered an
address at the Christian church, and
Chief Justice Hartwe1l was the speak,
er at the Methodist church. There
were large congregations assembled
and close interest manifested.

DEMOCRATS WILL
CONVENE TODAY
Will Be No Opposition to the
Endorsement of Bryan.
Woods Resigned.

Today, from all the islands, the
Democrats flock to Waverley Hall in
Territorial convention to name a ma
tional committeeman, select delegates
to express the wishes of Hawaii at
Denver and to express themselves con-
cerning the value to the party of Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
Yesterday accredited delegates to the
number of fifty-six foregathered in in
formal discussion in their convention
hall and talked over matters of mo-
ment, although it was agreed that
nothing was to be done that would in
any way bind the actions of the reg
ular convention today. For the bene-
fit of the Committee on Resolutions
the questions of land and labor were
talked over while it was suggested
that a resolution p1edging the party
to the advocacy of a payment of an
equitable sum to Queen Liliuokalani
should also be drawn up and submitted
today in convention.
AT the caucus and on the street
among the politicians the expected
opposition to the instructions for
Bryan failed to develop and it is a
certainty that the Nebraskan will get
the six Hawaiian votes so long as they
will profit him. This will probably be
shown unanimously today.
PALMER WOODS OUT OF 1T.

even be at the convention. He has
resigned as national committeeman
and will not stand for reelection, stat
ing in his letter to Secretary Emme-
luth that his reasons for pulling out
are private ones, and that in his judg-
ment a national committeeman from
Oahu ought to be chosen.
DELEGATES FEEL HAPPY.
All the delegates in town are happy,
happy because the reports they are
exchanging convince them that there
is going to be only one side to the
contest this fall and that is the side
that they are on. From each island
comes the news that the party is feel
ing its oats and preparing for the
starters word, quite satisfied with the
outcome. 1t was stated at the meet
ing last night that by the end of June
the party would be fully organized
and buckling to work, in better shape
than ever.
DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES.
1t is about settled that Oahu will
be represented at Denver by Charley
McGonagle and f. NJ. Watson, al
though the alternates have not been
definitely selected.
Hawaii will probably choose P. p.
Woods, o. T. Shipman, D. Metzger
and F. Hayselden as delegates and
alternates.

SIX FOOT BRUTE
KICKS W0MAN's FACE

All Kalihi is agog over happening
of Saturday night out of which a sum-
mons for assault and battery is likely
to result.
The parties are well known residents
of the district, the man being an ex-
police officer under the Brown admin
istration. and the lady a native of the
islands who is married to a prominent
local stenographer.
1t appears that about o'clock on
Saturday evening the lady went over
to the house of the ex-policeman, who
is a distant relative, in search of a
little boy who had been living with the
family, but who had visited the rel
ative's house and had failed to return.
Arrived at the relatives house the
lady called for the boy by name,
whereupon the man emerged from the
house in a drunken condition and
throwing the poor woman down kicked
her brutaIly in the face, rendering her
uncons ious.
The man. by the way, is a big brute.
standing six feet and half tall and
weighing over two hundred pounds. At
present he is working ons the dredger.
The woman weighs only 120 pounds.
The injured lady was taken home af-
ter she had recovered consciousness.
Her face was badly swollen and patch
es of skin had been removed. There
were also some deep punctures and the
cheek was badly cut on the inside. A
scar for life will probably result from
the drunken scoundrePs attentions.
The husband of the injured lady
stated last night that his wife would
swear out a warrant for assault and
battery against her assailant this
morning

minor affairs fostered and endowed
by the club. That Is to find some
way OF inducing people with money
to build houses in Greeley for rent.
Lack OF such houses is the greatest
drawback to Greleey's growth right
now. There are literally hundreds
Of people hunting the city over,
haunting the real estate offices, and
the newspaper offices for houses to
rent. There Is no sooner prospect
of a.tenant moving out Of a house
than there are anywhere from one to
half dozen applicants for the place.
Apy kind OF an old shack will rent.
Now there are plenty Of people
here who have the money to put up
houses or fats that would earn any
where from 10 per cent up, or sell
for a good advance ovei actual cost.
The trouble Is that people who have
the money would rather loan 1t out
at the new rate Of 8 psr can't interest
and sit down and watch it grow.
than to make some use Of 1t that
would benefit the city where they
