ANOTHER MAJOR
IS COMING HERE
Major C. H. McKinstry win
Arrive on the Next
Transport.

Major C. H. MeKinstry of the United
States Army Engineers is expected by
the next transport to look into the
dredger controversy. 1t is not known
whether he is coming in place of Major
Biddle or as well as Major Biddle.
Major MeKinstry was here last
March, and went all over the Islands
studying the Lighthouse situation. He
is the engineer for the Lighthouse
Board for the Twelfth Lighthouse Dis
trict, and all matters of lighthouse con-
struction in this district go through his
hands. While he was here last March
he said that he intended to aequaint
as far as he could, with the
fertilization for Oahu, although, it was
with which he had nothing
to do.
Just why he should be sent in con-
nection with the harbor dredging con-
is not known unless some one
is wanted to investigate the matter
who is not directly connected with it.

STATE CURES LEPERs.

A remarkable medical report touch
ing the cure of leprosy was presented
to the Louisiana Assembly by the lepel
house of the State of Louisiana. Out
of 81 lepers in the Louisiana institu-
ton nthe past two years six have
been practically cured A row Of
modern cottages constitute the lepers
quarters. a surgical building and a
small Catholic church complete this
group of leper buildings. For l3 years
four to six Sisters of Charity, prac-
tically alone. have cared for all the
wants of the lepers. None of these
Sisters ever has become infected witt
the disease, and apparently none of
them fears it.-Kansas City Journal.

DOES NOT APPROVE OF zAzA.

Editor Advertiser: 1t seems strange
that play now being produced at the
Orpheum, called Zaza, should receive so
many flattering notices. To my mind
it should be condemned and productions
of the kind discouraged.
Zaza is immoral and disgusting and
if the management of the Orpheum can
not get anything better to present to
the public the quicker the house is clos
ed the better.
Admitting that the play-is well staged
and excellently acted it is no reason
for such fulsome praise and when in
dividuals who are disinterested in the
financial affairs of the theater take it
upon themselves to come out over their
own signature to commend the play to
Others, it shows depraved state of the
moral taste of the community for
shows.

The Thwing Breekons controversy

attached to the paper presented to the
Governor, could not have reached Mr..
Breekons except from the Governor s
Office Whether Mr.. Breckons now has
that information or not, does not es-
peeially concern me. | was informed
that he had secured it. If he does
not have this information the rumor
of .leak' in the Governor office
is certainly unfounded. / did not start
the rumor. But it is a question that
concerns the Governor own staff. The
Secretary, Hon. Mott-Smith, told me
Yesterday that he had not asked Mr..
Breckons if he knew those twenty
names. / saw Mr.. Lightfoot this morn
ing, and he said again that Mr.. Brec-
kons did say to him that he (Brec-
kons) knew that there were twenty
names. and knew who they We're. 1t
may be true or not that Mr.. brec-
kons knows these twenty names.
1t rests entirely with Mr.. Breekons
TO clear up the atmosphere, by stating
the method by which and the person
through whom he secured the names OF
the twenty persons who signed the re-
quest addressed to the Governor, that
is if he has the above information.

and invite those who have training
and ability along these lines to fill
it with useful information in plain
language that all may be able to grasp
the facts that mean SO much to life
The burning questions of today are
fundamentally agricultural questions.
Personally, [ would much like TO re-
ceive light on many things and doubt
not there are those who could edify
me on most of them without impover-
ishing themselves. This seeking to
know is common to SO many that it
seems important that there should be
some way of making our wants known
and getting them answered.
I hope you will view this matter in
the light of duty and receive the re-
ward accompanying all good work well
done.
Date Palms.
Mr.. Frank Damon requested me to
tell in the Advertiser what I could
about fruiting dates You will easily
Importance if you consider that more
applied knowledge at planting time
would have given us frlIiting dates of
excellent quality instead of the skin
covered seeds we find at present. Neg
ligence and ignorance may not always
be criminal, bat in this case we pay
the penalty of no dates, where, had
we been wiser there would have been
abundance.
The ability to grow good dates here
is proven by the fact that some pro
dueed here from seed of the CONNER
cial dates are unsurpassed in point of
size and quality.
Date seed is obtainable from a re-
liable source that will produce at least
fifty per cent of good frGiting plants
if these were planted close enough to
permit the necessary roguing we might
in that way obtain a good stand of
desirable kind.
Tt is customary to propagate the
dates of commerce by taking shoots or
suckers from desirable fruiting female
trees.
The male and female flowers are pro-
duced on different trees and it has been
the custom to cut off the male flowers
and place above the flowers of the
female tree at the time the pistles, com
menee to open, in order to insure fer
tilization It is probable that many of
our barren trees would produce good
fruit if this matter was properly at
tended to- Dates come into bearing
about seven years from seed and con-
tinue to fruit for over hundred sea-
sons producing under favorable condi
tons about 500 pounds of fruit an
nually.

GOES TO COURTS
w. C. Houghton of Harbor Town Asks
Judge to Compel Authorities to
Receive Little Sons as
Pupils

Which of two laws must prevail, the
one providing for the compulsory Vacci-
nation of school children or that winch
compels parents to send their cnlldreh
to school, must be decided by the SUI
perfor court as a result of complaint
filed yesterday by w. c. Houghton OF
San Pedro in which he asks for writ
of mandate to force the San PEDRO
board of education, superintendent OF
Schools H. F. Pencil and Miss Jen-
ME Wickersham, principal of the Firth
Street school, to admit his two children
to the school.
Houghton's children, Frederick Jo-
seph Houghton, aged IA, and William
Francis, aged years, attended school
regularly until October %. On that
day, it is claimed, they were refused
admission becaues they had not been
vaccinated. Since that time Houghtofi,
in accordance with the law, has sent
his children to the schoolhouse regu-
larly each day, but they were COM
PEELED to return home, not being al
lowed to enter the building.
The petition for the writ will be heard
before Judge Cpnrey November 1S.
