II. E. Newton, draughtsman in the
Territorial Survey Department, is
about to begin work on group map
of these Islands. No map of this kind,
either by competent authority or en-
bracing the latest available data, has
been compiled since one was compiled
by the department for the Centennial
Exposition in 1876, mole than thirty
years ago. The Coast and Geodetic
Survey have compiled charts for use
in navigation, which embrace the lat
est knowledge of the Islands, and
smaller group maps have been made
which are of authority; but the present
proposal is one for a wall map of rather
large size, which shall show the exact
the others, and shall show the latest
information regarding landings, bea-
cons, and other aids to navigation,
plantations, roads and other useful
data. 1t is designed especially to be
of Convenient size and contain appro-
pirate data for use il schools.
The map published for the Centen-
NAL Exposition in 1876 is Of curious
interest, as showing the increase in in
formation regarding the Islands since
then, but also for a very surprising
mistake which the publishers made.
The publishers, apparently in grouping
maps of the individual islands so as to
get them all on one map, made the
strange and curious mistake of bring
ing Oahu and Kauai too far south, so
that Honolulu was made to appear in
the same latitude as LaAaina. Molokai
was nearly as far north as Kahuku, and
Maui and Lanai were due east of Dia-
mond Head.

COUNTIES LIABLE
FOR SOME TORTS
Supreme Court Reverses in
Case Against Hawaii
County.

The Supreme Court yesterday hand
ed down a decision in the case of
Kumazo Matsamura VS.. The County of
Hawaii, holding that the county is
liable for injury to private property
lying outside of a public highway,
caused by the negligence of county
employees in repairing the highway.
The cause of action arose by reason
of the fact that in repairing a road in
Hamakua, the county employees turned
a stream of water out of is course
1t undermined a bank causing a land
slide which fell on the roof of the plain
tiffs house, crushing it and nearly kill
ing it's occupants. Judge Parsons on
demurrer held that the county was not
liable The plaintiff was represented
by Carl Smith and A F. Judd. The
Hawaii Supervisors were represented
by the Attorney General.
The opinion of the court is concurred
in by Chief Justice Hartwell and JUS
tice Ballou Justice Wilder files dis
senting opinion. The majority of the
court were undoubtedly largely infu-
eneed by a decision arising out of
somewhat similar circumstances in the
District of Columbia.
The decision is a very important one
and is published in full elsewhere in
this paper.

ASKS A NONSUIT.


In the damage suit of Carolina Vier-
ra against the Waialua Agricultural
Company, the defense has asked for a
nonsuit on the ground that the plain
tiff has not shown wherein the appli-
ances used were defective. The plain
tiff contends that it has shown that
the car on which the decedent was
riding when he met his death was de-
fective in this that the brakes did not
stop the car in something like nun
bred feet when with proper brakes the
car should have been stopped within
a much shorter distance. The car it
self was brought to the court house
for the examination of the jury. Argu-
ment on the motion for nonsuit lasted
most of the day.
MILLS APPEALS.
H. T. Mills has appealed from the
decision of Judge Lindsay denying him
a writ of habeas corpus.
INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Judge Lindsay yesterday granted an
injunction in the suit of Honolulu Soap
Works against Alice M. and Jesse NJ.
McChesney, restraining Alice M Nc
Chesney from taking further steps to
collect claim of s33O2.22 against the
company, assigned to her by her hus-
band
UNCLE SAINTS LONG. ARM.
Judge Dole and jury We're engaged
yesterday in the trial of Man Pho
charged with stolen property belonging
TO the United States, more particularly
with receiving postage stamps from
Abraham Keaulana which the latter
ctr a TanGfnfEon
other side of this island The indict-
ment against Man Pho was returned
in 1905, but the defendant has eluded
arrest ever since then: for a time, it
is claimed by the Federal officers,
through the efforts of George Kekauo-
ha who used to be the political boss
over there. w. T. Rawlins is prosecut-
ing and A. D. Larnach is defending.
The case is considered important by
the Federal officers for the moral in
fuence it will have in teaching the
Koolau community where it happened
that Uncle Sam has a long arm.

CAUSE OF SLEEPING ILLNESS
Expert Says Blood Sucking African
Fly Does It.


Fly Does It.
LONDON, April 1.-THE second In
ternational Sleeping Sickness confer
enee, which has just terminated in
London, was not able to agree on the
draft convention before it, The French
and Italian delegates declared them
selves unable to accept the British pro-
posal to establish central bureau in
London. They asked that Paris should
be selected, but this was opposed by
the German delegates, who supported
the British proposal. DR.. Koch, the
famous bacterioIogist, was one Of the
principal delegates to the Sleeping
Sickness conference.
THE disease is due to a fly which
exists in the virgin districts of Africa"
said Dr. Koch, land the special insect
has peculiarities about it's life which
make it difficult to deal with.
The fly is a bloodsucker, and / found
that where there are no human beings
it lives upon the crocodile. My exam
nations showed that crocodile blood
was its main diet, and therefore [ sug-
gest that with the destruction of the
crocodile you will destroy the fly also.
The crocodiles could be greatl$ lessen
ed in number If not entirely destroyed,
by collecting their eggs, and some
means will be taken in time through
international action to do this

A FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most sneo-
 tieal of It's Truth.

lf there is the slightest doubt in tie minds of any that Dandruff germs do not exist, their belief is compelled by the fact that rabbit innoculated with the germs became bald in six weeks time. 1t must be apparent to any person therefore, that the only prevention of badness is the destruction of the germ-which act is successfuly sc- complished in one hundred per cent of cases by the application of New bros Herpicide.
 Dandruff is caused by the same germ which causes badness and can be prevented with the same remedy -Newbro's Herpicide.

irector of the reclamation service, Mir
 Pinchot of the forestry department and
 other prominent men, win take pars
 in the discussions.
 While the congress is essentially
 an irrigation congress, at the. same
 time this congress will make a diver
 sion from former congresses, in that lit will devote much time and attention
 to the subject of dry farming, and no doubt that this meeting will bring the two subjects together and in the fu- ture one congress will include botn
 the dry farming and irrigation farm | ing. One thing viii be accomplished, and that will be done at the desire of President Roosevelt, and that is that the National Irrigation congress will in future cover the subject of the na- ltional preseryations of forests. You know that all over this country rivers which carried large and even flow |of water during the whole year twen- ty-hSe years ago, today rdn dry during |part of the year. Take the great Rio Grande. We know from history that that river was never known to run |dry until the great extermination of the forests on her headwaters began to be destroyed. The national gov
 ernment is spending thousands of dol.
 lars now to preserve these forests on
 the headwaters of our rivers and in
 time the rivers win regain their old
 time gradual flow of water during the
 entire year.
 We expect to spend over s15O, 900 on the congress and exposition. A bill has been introduced in congress for an appropriation of s50.000 to- ward defraying the expenses of the congress. Every county in New Mexi- co has contributed from $250O to $5Ovo and the city of Albuquerque something like s50,000. Col. Hopewell, Col. Twitchell and Gov Curry have been making trips over the coutnry advertis- ing the congress and exposition anu are now contemplating a trip through Arizona. I understand the first place they will visit will be Douglas. On this trip through Arizona these gentle men will be accompanied by a bunch of Albuquerque people. I will be with them and do all I can to make the trip a success. Of course, they will want to see Gov. Kibbey and other prom nent men of Arizona and it seems to me it would be well to have the tw. governors meet here in Douglas and have excursions from all the surround ing country into Douglas and have a general big day. There is nothing like a big rally of the people to work up and get the people to real ize the splendid opportunities going to waste all about them. Douglas has all of the natural advantages that could be desired and you have the right kind of people to take advantage of these and with the proper en- thusiasm your town will make even a more wonderful growth than it has made during the past five years, which growth, might say, is probably the most wonderful ever accomplished by any city in this country.
 q have met a number of your people here today and they all are very en- thusiastic over our big southwestern show, and I will tell our board of con trOl, when I get back to Albuquerque, that they can expect Cochise county to lead Arizona in exhibits and at tendance next fall.'
