migrant station here, and who will be
in charge of this new work, is get

issuance of these certificates. He ex-
poets to do most of the work him
self, though he will have such assist

course OF the work he will visit all the
other islands. The itinerary of this
but when it is, 1t will be published as
widely as possible. Thus every Chi

a certificate will know when Mr..
Brown will be in his part of the Ter
ritory, so that he can make his appli-
cation and present his proof with as
little loss of time and as little incon-
venience to himself as possible.
The purpose of issuing these certif-
icates is to give every Chinese who is
an American, either by birth or nat
uralization in these islands, something
which will relieve him at all times and
places from the inconveniences of Of
fering proof OF this fact whenever he
enters this or any other part of the
territories.
That these certificates are to be is
sued is one of the results of the visit
of Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Straus last September. When Secre-
tary Straus was here petition was
presented to him from about fifty Chi
nese- American citizens in Hawaii The
petitioners represented that though
they were American citizens and enti- |
tied to as freely come and go in all
parts of the world under the control |
and jurisdiction of the United States |
as any other Americans, they were, as |
a matter of fact because of the Ex- /
elusion Act, compelled to submit to |
delays in landing at any American /
port. and were under the burden of l
proving their status as American cit /
zens whenever it was questioned. They |
asked if some certificate could not be

PlLAMA BLAZE
LOOKS SUSPICIOUS

An alarm of fire was turned in about
qo.15 last night and the fire Depart
ment sent engines to the scene OF a
small blaze on King street opposite
the Sunrise saloon. When they ar
rived the fire had been put out.
Ii appears that Officers Meek and
Nawahi noticed flames IN the shoe shop
Of Ho Fong, and they broke the glass
Of the door and entered, finding box
of rubbish ablaze. They extinguished
the fire with a bucket Of water.
The box had been placed alongside
a wooden partition, and had the fire
started later it might easily have been
a very serious affair.
There are some suspicious circum-
stances connected with the fire. Ho
Fong says that he and his partner left
the place at p. m, but Lau Fook Be-
the partner, states that ne left the
shop alone at s:9O p. m.
A transom at the back OF the shop
had been smashed. and neither the
boss nor his partner are able to ex-
plain just how the glass came to be
broken.

LEPERS To

A movement is on foot among the
local japanese to send eleven japanese
lepers now at Molokai back to japan.
Governor F'rear has given his per-
mission and an effort is now being
made to raise the necessary funds to
pay the expenses of transporting the
Infortunates to their own country.
A thousand dollars is needed, and
up to the present about sl20 has beea
subscribed.
Meetings are being held for the pur-
nose of stimulating interest in the
project, and they are addressed by
prominent local Japanese. Last nights
meeting was at Moiliih.

HIGH SCHOOL
Gets THE FUND
Mckinley Memorial Money Will
Erect Statue and EndoW
a Library.

The question of what is to be done
with the thirteen thousand odd dol
lars held so long by the trustees of the
Mckinley Memorial Fund has at last
been settled and the latest scheme
proposed for the disposal of the money
is the one to which it will be devoted,
the erecting of a monument to the
martyred president in the grounds of
the new High School and the endow-
ment of a library at that institution.
This was decided on at a meeting of
the trustees on Wednesday evening
and announced at the laying of the
cornerstone ceremonies yesterday by
Judge Dole, the chairman of the trus-
tee board. Judge Dole prefaced the
announcement by stating that the con-
ditions laid down by the trustees diff
fered in some respects from the agree
ment tacitIy made with the Depart
ment of Public Instruction, but not
radically nor in manner that was
likely to upset arrangements. He then
read the following resolution passed
at the Wednesday evening meeting:
Resolved, That the proposal of the
Board of Education and the students
of the Honolulu High School that the
new building of the Honolulu High
School be named the Mckinley High
School be accepted, and in considera-
ton thereof that a bronze statue of
the late President Mckinley, costing
not more than $4,000, be erected on the
grounds OF such school and that the
balance of the funds in the hands of
this committee be assigned to three
trustees, one of whom shall be the prin-
cipal of such school and his successors,
the other two to- be appointed by the
Board of Education; $1,000 of such |
funds to be expended in books for the |
school library and the net income of |
the balance of such trust funds to be |
devoted to the increase and care of |
the library of such school and the care I.
Of the statue.
This disposes of the other various /
plans suggested for the use of the !
fund. the one most talked about of /
which was that advanced by the Kilo- |
1ana Art League, members of which
worked hard to have the fund used !

Kinley Memorial Fund the previous
evening to the effect that in agreement

Secret societies which call themselve
High School Fraternities,r have chap
ters in many High Schools in different
cities OF the United States. They art
modelled after College Fraternities anc
have chapters which are granted char
tiers BY central government, and have
regular conciaves. In organization they
are almost identical with corresponding
college orders.
But in the purpose OF founding. the
nature OF the field covered, and in the
ends attained they are wholly differ
ent. Many Of them were founded bv
older men who hoped through their re-
latlons with the fraternities TO obtain
hold over its members Men were
induced to join largely through the at
tractiveness OF the name and the college
air which 1t seemed to bring to the
high school. Some, however. were
formed BY the High School students
and these were merely the outgrowth
Of social clique-. They were not the
children OF any want or need for the
social sets existed long before the frats
entered the field. The name of a fra
ternity only made it more extremely
exclusive, more definitely defined and
more open to attack because it was
more definitely defined
The High School fraternity is sub |
Ject to all the evils and does none
OF the good which the College Frat /
accomplishes. The over nthusias m. the |
temptation to sacrifice study in the in
terest OF fraternity, and loyalty to frat
above loyalty to school, these dangers
confront the younger, more impetuous
individuals in the high school. The
tendency toward overriding frat politics
in high schools is SO pronounced that the
majority Of high schools forbid frat
men to hold Offices, or to represent the
school in athletic or literary contests.
While the final aim OF fraternity
is to produce a higher type of social .
the first and most obvious
aim is to add to the pleasure and
profit OF his social life. The college
fraternity takes a man when he enters
community as a stranger and gives
lim the standing which has been built
up by long line OF predecessors as
heritage to start him in his college
areer. While in some instances all {
'hases OF this heritage may not be de- t
irable, as rule the college fraternity Il
dds greatly to the social side of a I
mans life. The high school student C;
