To MAKE A METROPOLIS
Of kALAUPAPA TOWN

THE survey of the Leper Sediment"
said DIR. Cofer yesterday, lis so we can
know Just what is there and what it
is. There is getting to be quite a viii
lage there now. In the past, houses
have been located in a rather haphaz-
ard way But We want survey. so
that buildings may hereafter be located
mere regularly. This will lead to more
pride and care in their surroundings
and in the buildings themselves. 1t
will also be of great advantage and
economy in bringing water to these
buildings, in improving roads. and in
every way"
Mr.. Hebron of the survey office
will leave to have charge of the Leper
Settlement survey, while S. NJ. Kama
kanui will have charge of the survey
of the Omaiopio lands on Maui, for
which the Maui Agricultural Company
desires to exchange some pineapple

.LAHA|NA NEEDS
A NEW SCHOOL

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt returned yesterday morning by
the Mau IA Loa from ten days spent
on Maui looking after school matters
It weLc to Honokawai and Kama
pail to look into school conditions
there" said the superintendent, ito see
if the proposed school at Kaanapali
was desirable. 1 have concluded that
it would be better to build an addi-
tional room at the school at Honoka-
wal, making that a two-room school,
and have the children from Kaanapali
come there. Manager Barkhausen has
agreed to supply water from the plan
tation for drinking purposes at this
school
. 'Lahaina needs now, or very soon
will need, ten or twelve-room school
house. We shall for the present add
two lanai recitation rooms. and get
along with that until a suitable school
building can be erected.
"At Olowalu, 1 inspected the new
school site. 1t is a great deal better
than the old site, and the plantation
has given a supply of water from a
mountain stream.
condition Principal Macdonald is do
ing a great work there. An old cot
tage has been transformed into hos
pital and a new cottage and new
dining hall have been erected. The
old dining hall is the oldest building
of the institution. 1t was the first
building erected when the school was
established. 1t is OF adobe. 1t will
be preserved, partly as a matter of
sentiment. The lower part will be
made into a laundry and the upper
part will be made into show place for
the work of the school-a sort OF
museum.
AT Waihee the children under the
direction of the teacher have trans
formed the grounds which were orig
inally taro patches. A great deal Of
manual and agricultural instruction has
been given here. The new teachers
cottage is nearly completed.
"At Spreckelsville the old cottage
now used as a schoolroom will be torn
down and a schoolroom will be added,
making this two-room school.
AT Keahua the new building is
nearly completed. 1t is a one-room
schoolhouse with teachers apartments
combined, and will be ready for occu-
pancy September 1. The school grounds
will be fenced in and water will be
brought to the grounds.
THE Paia school premises are pretty
dilapidated. The Public Works De-
partment is planning a suitable build
ing for this school. 1t will be built
on a site to be decided by the Maui
Agricultural Company and will contain
about five acres. 1t will afford ample
opportunity for identifying and devel-
oping.
THE Haiku school showed the need
of a good deal in the way If repairs
a part of which is due to lack of care
in the use.
'I visited the Kaupakalua, the Ma
kawao, and the Keauhou schools. The
last two have done much in the way of
agriculture.
'At Keokea a new three-room build
ing is replacing the old two-room
building and will be ready September
l. new cottage is also to be built
I'm a general way 1 san say that
there is a great Improvement in the
appearance of grounds and the care of
buildings since my visit two years
ago. 1t speaks Well for both teachers
and pupils

CHINESE ARE URGING
OPIUM PROHIBITION

Another cablegram was sent yester-
day by the authority of the chairman,
Mr.. zee Chin, of the Chinese mass
meeting, to Representative Foster of
Vermont. 1t urged the passing of the
Foraker opium bill, prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION of opium into Hawaii.
The following resolution, adopted by
the Chinese of Honolulu, has been sent
to the individual members of both the
Senate and the House, and is now in
the hands of every member of Con
gress:
Resolved, That we believe the ag-
ricultural and commercial interests of
Hawaii would be advanced by admit
ting the Chinese under wise restrictions
as to numbers, and also with restrie-
tions as to the use of opium. -
Even some of the opium smokers of
Hawaii would like to have the drug
prohibited so that they may be freed
from temptation and break off the
habit.

Their Unceas1ng Work Keeps Us

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. the kidneys filter the blood.
They WORK night ana day When
healthy they remove about SOC grains
of impure matter daily, when un-

Will Stretch Conscience So

Special Correspondence Of The Star

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, August 8. 1903.
Because the groom to-be was just about
twelve hours shy of his majority, John
Adam Martin and Miss Mary E. Petit.
both Of Fairfax Court House. Va, were re-
fused a marriage license here today. That
they were genuine runaways did not tend
to lessen the embarrassment occasioned
by the hitch in their arrangements. The
marriage license clerk hated to turn them
down. He said SO, and looked it, but he
had no authority to relax the law.
The young Virginians left with the ex-
'.before sundown.' The young man ex-
planned that they would go straight to
Marlboro and have the knot tied, even il
he did have to stretch his conscience a
little" to obtain the license.
1t was stated by young Martin that he
AMI Miss Petit had long been sweethearts
and that there seemed to be no objection
on the part of any one to the arrange
ment. When the subject Of marriage was
mentioned, however, there was strenuous
objection on the part of the young lady s
parents who thought their daughter
should wait a WHILE
I'VE made up our minds to get married,
anyway said the young man, and we
concluded that the best plan would be to
steal a march on the old folks So we
niad- them think we were going to spend
today down the river. 1t will be a big
surprise to them to learn the real object
o. our trip but we expect them to quickly
recover from the shock and extend their
forgiveness

machine is the engine. or rather engines.
for there are two. They are said to
weigh a shade less than a pound to the
horsepower This sounds almost unbe-
lievable. But the inventor says it is so
and that they will run to the limit of their
fuel capacity. They are oil-cooled with a
circulating pump.
Herring's plane is built on as fine lines
as a repeater watch. One of the in
ventor's whims is carrying around pieces
of the machine in his pockets. He was
showing some of them to his Aero Club
friends at Fort Myer.
They were disjOinted screws. inter-
locking cylinders and the like. A machin-
list could tell from the way the pieces fit
ted together that they represented the
highest point of the instrument makers
art.
Herring saq they were finished to the
testified that this much at least was no
joke. Even the Langley aerodrome can
show no better samples OF workmanship,
and that is saying about all that can be
said.
Explaining. so far as it could be ex-
planned. how the balancing mechanism OF
his machine operated, Herring said that
to understand wind action one must 'un-
derstand that the wind moved in a con-
slant succession of whirlpools. that were
roughly speaking. true circles. Thus the
angle at which a gust struck the wing Of
a machine was constantly varying till the
machlne mad crossed That particular
whirlpool and reached the other side.
when it would meet a puff OH the same
angle, but going in the opposite direc-
ton.
The balancing mechanism. he said. au-
tomatically absorbed each of these shocks
as it came along. There was no apparent
movement of the plane. but its power OF
resistance was increased automatically
according to the pressure of the wind
against it.
"A man has too much to do to look
after all these varying conditions" said
Herring. His mind and his hand do
not work fast enough. This arrangement
does 1t for him.
There is no tail to the machine. as
there is to the Farman and Delegrange
machines. These are about the best for
eign examples up to date. But the wind
they can stand is limited.
Il think this balancing device will work
satisfactorily in any wind up to about
thirty miles an hour.
Having succeeded in the object of his
mission. after attending the Baldwin
fight. Herring left for New York, where
he is working on his aeroplane.

Alimony to Deserted Wives.

Five juvenile cases and six non-support
cases was the record of the Juvenile Court
yesterday morning. The session was es-
pecially long several cases consuming an
hour or more each.
Among the youthful culprits were two
trio of boys. each supposed to be a gang
responsible for petty depredations in the
neighborhoods in which they live.
Joseph Gentry. Horace Lee and Joseph
Avery. all colored and ranging in age
from thirteen to fifteen years. were ar

suspicion.
the authorities discovered that the trio
had stolen car tickets. brass and minor
articles from residents and merchants in
the third precinct. The boys faced no less
than four charges of theft when they ap-
peared before Judge CalIan.
There was convincing testimony that
the accused were responsible for the
stealing. Verdicts of guilty were re-
turned.

the leader Of the trio. was committed to

CUBAN LIBERALS TO UNITE
Factions to Fuse to Avoid Defeat by
Conservatives.


HAVANA. August S.-Both factions of
the liberal party are discussing the ques-
ton Of fusion, realizing that unless there
is a coalition they will surely be beaten
by the conservatives in the presidential
election.
The Zayastas are planning a meeting
for August II, to decide upon the course
they will pursue. 1t is freely predicted
tina: Senior Zayas. the leader of that fac
ton, will give up his aspiration for the
presidency and content himself with the
nomination for the vice presidency with
Jose Miguel Gomez. leader of the Miguel
istas. at the head of the ticket, thus re-
creating the liberal ticket of 1905, which
the moderates or conservatives defeated,
bringing on the subsequent revolt.
The conservatives are strengthening
their organization. They are greatly en-
couraged by the results of the late cleo
ton. when they elected thirty mayors.
The Miguelistas got thirtyfour and the
Zayastas eighteen.
The conservatives also elected three
provincial governors. thus acquiring vast
patronage. Hitherto they have not had
any.
Between 80 and 60 per cent Of the
total registered vote was pOlled. II is
believed that the greater part of those
not voting were conservatives. who did
not think II worth while 10 60 to the
polls.

the regular Swisher organization have re-
