Kai's foot was crushed. He was at
once taken to the Catholic hospital in
Appleton where all the toes of this
foot except the great toe were ampu-
tated. He seemed to stand the ordeal
very well, but the next day he began
vomiting blood and later died from
hemorrhage.
The Chief of Police states that while
he was in the hospital he was allowed
to see his friends and that his room
was constantly filed with flowers and
fruit sent to him. The funeral was
largely attended. The expense of u
was paid by the railroad company
A letter from the Catholic priest who
attended Kai in his last hours contains
similar information.

Christmas Exercises
at Punahou

A Christmas tree loaded with gifts
made by deft little fingers was the
center of attraction in the first grade
of the Punahou Preparatory School
yesterday morning at the closing exer-
cises for the fall term. Around this
tree gathered Miss Austin's gay little
tots and delighted parents and friends
of the school by their Christmas
songs, those of Helen Morgan and
Marion Dowsett being especially pleas
ing.
Immediately following, the other
grades of the school held their exer-
cises in the assembly-room of Charles
r. Bishop Hall, which had been taste
fully decorated for the occasion in red
and green.
Ruth harrington cleverly disclosed
the secret of Santa Claus middle
name, and Alapaki Smith convulsed
his audience with his "Boys' Post
prandial Chant Winifred Brown 8
recitation. "The Kittens Christmas"
and Jimmy Wilder's cute "Scaring
Santa Claus were excellent and re-
eeived deserved applause.
The singing of the school chorus, the
bows chorus and the school choir of
forty voices, under the direction of
the supervisor of music, Miss Alice
Rogers, surpassed all previous efforts
of the school along musical lines.
The browning event of the morning
was the Christmas concert of the Oahu
College chorus, Miss Rogers, director,
assisted by Mrs. Bruce McVean Mae
kali. Miss Caroline Sheffield, pianist,
and Miss Margaret Clarke, organist.
The opening number of the program
was Mosenthal s "Festival March,"
superbly rendered by Miss Clarke, as
was also her WagnerSulze' cover
ture to Lohengrin. - Noteworthy
among the choruses by the college
were "There Were Shepherds" by
Buck, and Handel's Largo" the
solo parts in which were sung with
grand effect by Mrs. Mackall, who also
deserves especial praise for her rem
dering, as solo, Bucks "Fear Ye
Not, o Israeli
4 reading by Muriel Howatt of Mil
tons "Hymn of the Nativity" and
a solo by Will Desha, " o, Holy
Night" were two other very credit
able numbers of one of the best mu-
steal programs of the college in recent
years. A large share of the credit for
the success of the concert and the pro-
gram at the preparatory is due to the
masterful leadership and careful train
ing Of Miss Rogers.

Wind Storm

A wind storm Of unusual severi

prevailed last Saturday, causing
we'll built structures to creak and
tremble at frequent intervals. An
old stable, the property Of Mr.. V.

large apple tree uprooted at Mr..
Jones'. One pedestrian had his
hat carried heavenwaad, then

and he is now wearing a new one.
Another citizen. coming out Spruce
street, had his headgear lifted Oft
and carried across the court house
and Jail, landing in l.. A. Carichoff's

We noticed a little country mr.
chin gong down street with a large
paper bag in each hand. When in

ugly blast Of wind liberated one of

AN AUDACIOUS CRIMINAL
INNOVATION

TN HE developed responsibility that

Il power and wealth is illustrated by
the case of Morse, who is telling in
reviewers that he cannot understand
why friendly irregularities should be
considered crimes. His friendly irreg-
ularities consisted in part in cashing
other peoples checks and indorsing
them for the payees, per c. w. Morse"
No ordinary everyday poor sinner
would have been permitted to indulge
in this eccentricity. No ordinary Amer
lean citizen withshis reputation to sus-
tain and his family to support could
collect checks payable to his friends
and acouaintances and indorse them
in the extraordinary manner illustrated
by Morse. The business world would
be in chaos in twenty-four hours and
crowded carloads of gibbering maniacs
who until recently had been clearing
house clerks would be conveyed to the
nearest madhouses IL the correctness
of the Morse method were recognized.
Truly it takes great financier to think
in terms of high finance and from his
cranial evolutions to produce such a
final simplicity as this easy money
method of cash getting. Collect your
friends checks. Sign his name to them
per yours-and you, have not only
refrained from committing actual for
gerry, but have demonstrated conh-
dence in the strength of your friends
devotion to you that will surely pre-
vent him from doing anything hasty-
from having you arrested, for instance
when his checks return to him. with
his name on the back of them, per
so and So"
OF course, in the way of business,
authority to cash checks may be given
to men connected with firm. who
may sign for the firm, per so and So"
but the Morse idea is far more effective
than this. 1t does not necessitatel Civ

highly interesting information which
may lead to international complications
and possibly a breach of promise suit
in high--that is to say dollar-marked-
life. She declares that the innocent
Hungarian count who is to marry Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt is about to be
stung.
In order to get real money for her
needy bridegroom the bride will have
to convert her railroad securities into
cash and Hetty has her doubts as to
the success of an attempt to effect
such a conversion in these penniless
times. The Vanderbilts may offer to
placate the European nobleman with a
handful of railroad securities, but Het-
ty says that he won't be piacated thus;
he wants real money, that this will
compel the bride to try to unload her
securities on the other members of her
family and that for good and sufficient
reasons the deal won't go through.
Can the Vanderbilt family pay the
price," asks Mrs. Green, skeptically.
OF one thing we may well be certain
and that is that the richest woman on
earth, the only successful female f1nan-
cier. has endeared herself to the first
families of New York by her ingen-
uous prattlings and that she will at
last be acceptable to the Four Hundred

JEFFERSONEAN PRINCIPLES
RULES FOR FREE SOCIETY

Herald. Now see what Lincoln said
of Jefferson, when invited to address
Boston Republicans in 1863 at Jefrer-
son birthday celebration. as follows:
TT is now no child's play 20 save the
principles OF Jefferson from the total
overthrow in this nation.
1.-THE principles of Jefferson are the
def1pitions and axioms of free society:
And yet they are denied and evaded
with no small show of success. Ono
despairingly calls them 'glittering gem
eralities.' Another bluntly calls them
'self-evident lies And others insidi-
ously argue that they apply to SUI
perior races
These expressions, differing in
form, are identical in object and effect
the suplanting the principles of free
government and restoring those of
class, caste and legitimacy. They
would delight convection of crowned
heads plotting against the people.
They are the vanguard, the miners and
the sappers of returning despotism."
