PRICE OF BOARD At
OAHU COLLEGE RAISED

At recent meeting of the trustees
of the Oahu College it was decided tc
raise the price of board to $S per week
beginning with September, 19OS This
action, which was taken only after
careful consideration, is based on a
desire to have the income as nearly as
possible meet the expenses of main
tenance of the department. The pre-
vious charge of Sc per week paid only
the actual cost of food and service; ii
did not include any charge for rooms
salaries of matrons or supervisory
teachers, insurance, light, water, up
keep, deterioration or interest. The
money for these came out of the gen.
erai income.
1t is plain, however, that this de-
partment. which carries with it the
most responsibility Tor those in au-
thority, and which has only about one
eighth of the registration, should be
nearly, if not quite, self-supporting
The policy of the institution is to sup
ply everything that good health and
proper supervision requires. Under the
system with men teachers and moni-
tors in charge of the boys and the
three matrons and women teachers in
charge of the girls, the individual stu
dent is properly cared for. 1t is felt
that salaries of persons whose whole
time is given to this department, actual
items of expense in the department,
like light, and some small allowance
annually for upkeep, should be paid by
those who enjoy the benefits and
should not be a general charge upon
the institution.
The college every year has a deficit.
Last year it was $4,000; this year it
will be more than $4,000. In ten years
it has nearly trebled in number of
students, in cultivated campus area,
buildings, and in number of teachers,
and has received only one gift of $780,
600 for its endowment. 1t has offered
the best course of study and the
broadest advantages in every way. 1t
has made it's charge in tuitions and
board just as low as possible 1t will
continue to do so.
The trustees believe that the appre-
citation of this policy has been reflected
in the increased patronage. They de-
sire to work with, and cooperate with.
the patrons in making Punahou the
best possible place for Hawaii's young
people, at the least possible cost.
The trustees realize with regret that
the increase will bear heavily upon
some homes. They hope to be able to
furnish work for, limited number by
which enough money may be earned at
least to offset the increase. This car
be done for a few who are able and
willing to work regularly every school
day and on Saturdays.
The assignments of rooms will be
made early in June. Rooms will first
be reserved for present boarders, and
are assigned for the year. If by the
withdrawal of a child a vacancy oc-
ours. charge of 81 per week. payable
monthly, which is made, divides the
loss between the college and the
patron.

STABBED HIM IN
SE[F-DEFENSE
tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser.)

Ut w <aoNCA lASCA-J
Matsube Matsuoka, a Waipahu Jap
anese of good reputation, yesterday
forenoon at o'clock in Camp No. 2,
waipahu plantation, stabbed and prob
ably fatally wounded a notorious Jap
anese character bearing the name of
Fujikawa. He used a cook-knife and
stabbed his fellow countryman in the
left side of the abdomen and then
walked to Pearl City and gave himself
up to the police. Fujikawa will prob
ably die, if he is not already dead.
Fujikawa was known as a 'gorot-
suki," a man of bad character, a black
mailer and extorter. He had threaten
ed the other because he would not give
him money and at the time mentioned
they quarreled and Matsube, in self
defense, stabbed the other.
Fujikawa was unusually tall for a
Jap, being about six feet. He had been
ten years at Waipahu and was a
gambler.
Dr. Kojima and the plantation doc
tor attended the wounded man. but
they had last night no hope for his
recovery.
There is little or no sympathy for
the victim on Waipahu plantation.

One of the most highly respected of
the Chinese residents of Oahu-and
there are good many-is Wong Le-
ong, the well-known rice planter on
the other side of the island. He not
only raises that staple, but operates
several mills, and he is regarded as one
of the substantial business men of the
islands. He has lived here for twenty
eight years and married a Chinese
Hawaiian woman.
Wong Leong has three children of
whom he is justifiably proud. He and
his family are members of the Catholic
church. His daughter entered the
Order of the Sacred Hearts in Homo
lulu, taking her final vows some time
ago. There are two sons who are fine
types of the Chinese boys being edu
Gated in the schools of Honolulu, fit
ting themselves for business or the
professions, in which they are doing
most creditable work.
Francis Wong Leong, the youngest,
graduated at st. Louis College, where
he made an excellent record. He is
now in a private school in Shanghai
and is incidentally studying Chinese
business methods on the ground, so to
The Hawaiian gazette., 1908-05-29

speak.
He will return to Honolulu as an
assistant to his father, who has exte--
sive dealings with his own cOuntrymen-
both here and in China.
Wong Leong has just received a let
ter informing him that Francis. his
oldest son, who also studied at s..
Louis College. has just graduated from
st. Mary's Institute, in Dayton. Ghio.
which he has been attending for the
past three years. He has also passed
a successful examination as doctor Of
medicine, and received his degree Nay
22. He now hopes to secure an ap-
pointment as inferno in some good bos-
pital where he can practically apply
his medical knowledge and have tho
advantages of observation and study
which such post affords.
He will then return to Honolulu and
practise amongst the Hawaiians and
Chinese. Amongst both classes ne has
many warm friends. all of whom are
impatiently awaiting his return. There
is a good field for such a man. and
Francis Wong Leong will bring to his
place and his profession great natural
skill, and the results of la5oriOus study
and thorough training.

Honolulu, T. of H, May 25, 1908.
Gentlemen: Complaint has on sever
al occasions reached this Department
from the Association of Masters, Mates
and Pilots, Honolulu Harbor No. 81, in
regard to screening the electric lights
on the waterfront of Honolulu, as the
glare from these lights makes it quite
difficult in docking vessels at night
I would most respectfully request
that you instruct the Superintendent
of Electric Lights to have these screens
placed, the cost of same to be borne
by the Department of Public Works.
Very truly yours.
MARSTON CAMPBELL,
Superintendent of Public Works.
A DOCTORS BILL
The following communication was
read and referred to County Attorney
Cathcart:
Honolulu, Hawaii May IS, 1908.
The Honorable Board of Supervisors,
County of Oahu, Honolulu, 7. H.
Dear Sirs: 1 enclose you herewith a
statement of account to the amount of
$500, rendered against this company
by Dr.. H. Wood of Waialua, Ohu. for
medical attendance to a japanese, who
was wounded through a pistol shot
fired by one of the employees of this
company at Wahiawa on the night of
March 10, 1908, while in the act of de-
Tending the property of this company,
as well as, apparently, defending HIM
self from bodily injury at the hands
Of the japanese. The japanese in
question was in the act of burglarizing
the plantation store of this company
when discovered, and, in the absence
of police protection, it devolved upon
the employees of the company to pro-
tect the property, resulting, as above
stated, in the wounding of the Japa-
nese burglar.
In view of these circumstances we
feel that this is a charge that should
be paid out of the public funds, and
trust that your honorable board will
see it's way clear to appropriate such
funds to reimburse DR.. Wood.
This company feels that it is GER
tainly entitled to police protection, par
ticularly against byrglarizing-and
when called upon to perform that SER
vice ourselves, we at least should be
relieved of meeting any expenses which
might be incurred, medical or other
wise, as result of such self protection,
where the same arises through direct
act of law breakers.
would state that this matter has al
ready been taken up with the County
Sheriff and County Attorney, but both
| officials refuse to admit any liability
on the part of the county for the
services rendered by Dr. Wood, taking
into consideration the circumstances
under which the same were rendered.

The Lee Let monkey business con-
tinues to develop.
Tuesday, in looking for the deposit
tions made in the case a year and
more ago by two of the principal wit
nesses, not a sign of them could be
found. They had been removed from
the files. Only Chief Taylor's state
ment remained, as the fact of that
having been previously published made
its theft useless.
So far there is no clew. The depo-
sitions were made by Messrs. Mathe-
son and Ayres, the witnesses mention
ed, to Mr.. Milverton, when he was on
the Attorney Generals staff. Milver-
ton is now with the County Attorney.
OF course, nobody suspects him-but

DISPOSITIONS IN LEE LET
CASE CANNOT BE FOUND

Things seem to have been carefully
prepared to make il easy for Lee Let
to get out. He was indicted. as the
readers will remember. for the at
tempted bribery of Chief Taylor on
behalf of Chinese gamblers. County
Attorney Cathcart let the case drag
along like the Duvauchelle case-which
he surreptitiously nOl-prossed - but
publicity in these columns made him
abandon It and turn the whole business
over to the Attorney General Now K
is in Deputy Larnach's hands and on
the calendar for trial.
The man who stole the depositions
ought to have been able to pick up a
tidy sum from the Chinese gamblers,
who have shown themselves willing %
