A letter was received from Forester
Hosmer suggesting that as during the
past Arbor Days, most of the needful
trees in school yards had been planted,
it would be a good thing if on future
arbor days the pupils plant trees along
the public roads leading to the schools.
The Board decided to adopt the prin-
ciple suggested in the letter.
A petition was received from Kane
ohe asking for the adoption of instruc-
| ton in the Spencerian system of pen
manship in the schools. 1t was re-
ferred to the Superintendent for re
port.
j A communication was received from
Mr.. J. E. 'Brien who is at the head
of the Boys Club work, urging the
establishment of trade school. The
Board is without funds for this pur
pose, but will continue general indus
| trial work in the schools, as in the past
| The program for the public opening
of the new High School building was

Tn the afternoon all the Santa Clara

Mckenzie to put the gloves on for a
few rounds. The husky collegian did
as he was asked and put up great
90 with the lively professional, while
the ball PLAYERS stood around and root
ed for their manager.
Mckenzie retired after four rounds
and then young Bouquet stepped in and
went three rounds to a lively tune
with Reilly. When it was all over
and the young boxer had had his rub
down and swim he stated that he. felt
better than ever before and found his
muscles more timber and easy than ne
he had ever felt them before.

ed for them under the Dingley tariff.
Rice Industry Disorganized.
7. H. Lansing said the rice industry
was not organized, and was in the
hands of a class of men who did not
appreciate the benefits of organization.
He did not think, however, that it
could be benefited by a tariff as both
seed and land had deteriorated by rea-
son of the unprogressive ways of the
growers. A large part of the rice eat
ing population demanded rice grown in
their own country. They had been
taught to make this demand by a
clever commercial move on the part
of some of the japanese dealers. Rice
on which cent and a quarter of duty
pound had been paid now sold in the
market at seventy-fve cents bag
more than the home grown rice, and to
increase the tariff would simply in
crease the cost to the japanese and
probably lead to a demand for higher
wages from the plantations.
W. o. Smith said that in the
eAShteeH HhoHtnS CHUNG OectihpeI 81,
1907, the importation of rice from
Japan to Hawaii had been $4,000 bags
of unpublished rice a month
Question of Unity.
George w. Smith said that there
would go out from this meeting some
thing greater than the question of the
tariff on rice. There would go out
unifcation of the industries of Hawaii.
James F. Morgan promised the good
will and cooperation of the Chamber
of Commerce for the efforts to be put
forth as result of this meeting.
Mr.. Tenney's motion was then put
and carried unanimously, and Governor
Frear appointed as the committee Jas.
F. Morgan, G. W. Smith, E. D. Tenney,
E. E. Paxton, and Albert Waterhouse.
The meeting then adjourned.

be considered from the standpoint of
the mainland
'EIn regard to the first point, it would
seem advisable to make our strongest
effort for additional tariff protection
upon such lines as promise the broad
est benefits to the entire Territory.
Plneapples are at present the most
promising new industry in the islands;
and already pineapple production has
grown to the point where it is vitality
important that the entire American
market be reserved, if possible, for the
Hawaiian and Florida pro 11eer. It
NAV not be possible to have any in
crease made on the 35 per cent tariff
now imposed on canned pineapples pre-
served IN sugar; but it may be posi-
bic to get new classification made
that viii compel nearly all the canned
product to pay the maximum rate. A
strong effort should also be made to
increase the tariff on the fresh pine
apples, so that it viii not be possible
to ship in fresh pines and put them
into cans inside the tariff wall
"An increase in the tariff on I'M
polished rice would be of substantial
benefit to the Territory. 1t might well
| be that the influence of Carolina, Loul-
siana and Texas rice growers will be
sufficient to secure this increase. We
must remember, however, that this is
supposed to be revision for redue-
| tiOns in the tariff rather than for IN
creases.
| "This latter fact will make difficult
any movement to take coffee from the
| free list and add it to the ranks of
protected industries; yet, probably this
| is as good a year as any to make the
/ effort to secure some protection for
our coffee industry The Porto Rican
coffee growers viii make strong eff
| forts to have coffee put on the pro-
| tected lists; but in my judgment the
| total absence of coffee production on
the mainland win make it very diff
cult to persuade Congress to add new
tax to every breakfast table in the
| land.
"As to rubber and sisal fiber, there
is little likelihood that these articles
; will be taken from the free list.
"As regards bananas, the Pacific
Coast fruit growers will probably ask
for a tariff against this fruit on the
ground chat 1t unreasonably completes
with thei- cEn home grown fruits.

"To refer again to my second point
we must recognize the fact that tariff
schedules viii, as rule, always be ar
ranged for the benefit of the main
land It is idle for us to think thai
we can get tariff on rubber, sisal OF
any article of which there is only g
little produced in Hawaii and none on
the mainland. In this, as in all things
we must be reasonable in our requests
in order to best secure that which We
are really entitled to.
cit is of course important that il
all our tariff work at Washington, We
should cooperate as closely as posi-
bic with the Pacific Coast and will

Tramp Steamer Overdue.


SAN FRANCISCO. August 16.-WithI
the wife of a naval officer, a naval
chaplain, his wife and two children
signed as members of the crew, the
British tramp steamer Aeon, 40 days
out from this port, is tossing on the
ocean somewhere between San Fran
cisco and Apia. While relatives of the
naval people are full of alarm for their
safety, Collector of the Port Stratton
is bent on finding out how the Aeon,
without a passenger license, managed
to slip out of port with five passengers
The passengers on the Aeon are Mrs.
William Riddle, wife of Lieutenant
Riddle of the navy; Chaplain Patrick,
his wife and two children. All are
well known in naval circles in this
city and about the bay. As no tldlngs
of the Aeon have been received since
She left here 10 days ago, friends OF
Mrs. Riddle and of the Patrick family
are prepared for the worst.
Lieutenant Riddle was recently or
dered to Apia, Samoa, and sailed for
| his south sea station on one of the
auxiliaries of the big fleet. AS there
| were no accommodations for the fam
| lies of the officers, Mrs. Riddle sought
and obtained passage on the tramp
| steamer Aeon. Chaplain Patrick and
his family arranged to go by the same
vessel.
r. The Aeon is freighter and has no
license to carry passengers. In tech
| meal evasion Of the shipping law Mrs.
Riddle and the Patricks were com
peIled to sign as members of the crew

feet holds that the petitioners have
adequate remedy at law. and the de-
cision means that if the election is
Illegally held the petitioners can. af-
ter the election. contest it on the
ground Of illeoality.
There were some nice points rats-
ed N both sides and The Gr3Nmcnt>
