STRENUOUS TOLL
Of APPRAISERS


the first part of their work and the
Oahu delegates go up to town by to-
days boat to digest what they have
absorbed.
The committee started In bright and
early a week ago last Wednesday and
has had a pretty strenuous time OF It
right through. The first day was spent
in examining the Anahola and Kama
lomaloo lands and their water pos
sibilities. To those acquainted with
the topography of that country It will
be easily understood that the commits
sioners had cause to feel a little tired
at night after having gone pretty thor
oughly over that proposition. The next
day was devoted to viewing Kealia
proper. while Friday was passed on
the much discussed Kappa tract. On
Saturday the appraisers finished up
their inspection with a visit to the
Waipouli and Olohana lands.
They have now scattered to meet
again in Honolulu in the first part of
next month, and in the meantime they
will study up the question and try to
get at the value of the several parcels,
so that when they come together again
they can come to an easy agreement.

Among the many passengers who
took the Mikahala last Tuesday was
Miss Mabel Wilcox, who started for
Baltimore where she will remain for
three years to fit herself for the work
of trained nurse. Miss Wilcox shows
good deal of pluck in choosing to
undergo the pretty severe hardship
connected with a nurses training when
it would have been so much easie.. to
accept the worthless life that the future
seemed to offer her.

Editor Advertiser: 1t is claimed that
the arrest and Imprisonment Of Mr.. Lo
Sun was caused largely because of a
so-ealled complaint by me. There are
make a complaint. But is information,
given on request, Of facts already
known complaint A simple illustra-
ton will show it is not.
If l tell the head of a school that
saw one of his pupils, John for in
stance, smoking and playing cards in
the school grounds, that is com
plant. But if the head Of the school,
having heard of the offense, comes to
me for confirmation, and asks me, "Did
you see John smoking and playing cards
in the school groundsa' and 1 answer
explaining that 1 did see the boy do
ing these things, that is not COM
plant, but confrmatory information.
The case seems very clear, that what
| wrote about Lo Sun, when requested
to do so, can not rightly be considered
a complaint.
But even if complaint had been
made, which was not the case, was it
right or just to at once an st and i'm
prison Mr.. Lo Sun, for he supposed
offense of not being a teacher, with
absolutely no proof that he had in
tended to discontinue acting as teach
er, or had not planned to enter some
other schoolf No notice was given to
him, or opportunity for explanation,
as to his future plans, before the I'M
arrest. 1t is a fact that a |
Young and we'll educated Chinese gem
tleman, who had come lawfully into |
'ur country, was disgracefuly arrested |
and imprisoned, having to secure bonds
men to the amount of five thousand |
dollars to gain his liberty. And this
'or no crime whatever and simply on
he supposition, improved, that he had
given up teaching in the Territory.
If, under any Interpretation of the
exclusion law, mistake of this kind
nay occur, it is certainly time for true
Americans to call for modification of
hat law. The entire case, with all
letails, has been placed in Hon. WI
Ting Fang, the Chinese Ambassador s
lands. A full account, with a letter
