JUDGE DOLE'S FINE
HAWAIIAN FLAG STOLEN

A theft of particular meanness was
committed by someone during the dark
hours of Sunday night, the large Ha-
waiian flag which had been draPed
over the Opera House doors behind the
Judges reviewing stand, being torn
down and carried away. The ballard
loop Of the banner was left and about
three inches of the silk was left hang
ing to this, the thief in his haste
having ripped the banner clear across.
This nag is the property of Judge
Dole and one of the handsomest Ha-
waiian flags in the Territory. 1t has
been the property of Judge Dole since
his Inauguration as President of the
Republic and was made for him by a
well known maker in London. The

LIMIT OF FAKING
IN THE PASSION PLAY

The limit of taking" is to be seen
in the moving pictures on exhibition in
1.-THE Passion Play" These were
shown last night at the Orpheum. to
a crowded house, which watched the
films unroll with varying emotions
Some were impressed with the tragedy
of the pictured story, crudely as'it was
presented; some were interested in the
rather beautiful color effects shown
and the illusion parts of the pictures,
while others were frankly disgusted at
the sacrilege.
AS moving pictures the display is
good. the films being clear and well
worked. while they are all beautifully
colored and touched up. But they are
distinctly not pictures taken at Ober-
Ammergau, where the great Passion
Play is religfously presented every ten
years. They are pictures taken, evil
IDENTIFY, for the most part in some Pa
risian photograph gallery, with actors
and actresses for models. For this
reason the pictures are cheap, and
throughout jarring scenes offend the
sensitive. Theatrical claptrap is in
jected into what should be the most
solemn scenes and the whole effect is
thereby lost.
When, for instance, "the angel of
the Lord appears in pink tights and
ballet dancer shoes. ''the Holy Grost'
descends in the form of a dove with
a wreath of flowers in it's bill like the
decoration on a valentine, and an ut
teO1nt is made 70 actually Yroduca a
picture of Heaven, with the Almighty
personated by a white-bearded man,
the limit of audacity is reached All
this was done last night at the Or
pheum.

NATIONAL GUARD

Time.

The last of the official inspection of
the National Guard will be concluded
this morning when Major Dunning Wis

over the uniforms, rifles and stores on
hand with the lists and notes in what
manner these are being cared for. Then

local soldier boys of Honolulu and the
outlying companies viii be ready to for

1t is not generally known that, ac-
cording to the new regulation, the Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii is soon to be

viii be the First Infantry, Hawaii. AL
ready the old familiar names of the
companies. E, f, G, etc, are no longer
used officially, being designated now
by number. All this is along the lines
of the plan to make of the various
state troops an arm of the regular army,
uniformed, equipped, drilled and or
ganized along regular army lines, ready
to take their places without confusion
with the regulars when necessary.
About the only change that will be
noticeable in the local regiment will be
that very shortly the letters "N. G.
H." will have disappeared from the
. collars and buttons of the uniforms and
the letters ''HAW.'' will have taken
their place.

THE 10 SUN CASE LAID
BEFORE CHINESE ENVOY
WI Ting Fang Promises to Do What he Can
at Westinghouse Chinese Want Exclusion
Law Modified.

, WI expressed himself as willing to
make an effort in this direction.
LETTER GIVEN TO MINISTER WI
Honolulu, H. T., February %, 1908.
To His Excellency WI Ting Fang,
Chinese Ambassador to the United
States.
Your Excellency: Welcome greet
ings to Your Excellency on your hon.
orable visit to Hawaii. AS Your Ex-
cellency travels from the great and IL
lustrious empire of China, with. her
wonderful history of thousands of
years, to the modern, growing republic
of America, may Your Excellency's S
mission bring more cordial, kindly and
friendly relations between these two
great nations.
Dr. Smith, a noble man, for many
years a resident in your honorable
country, has well said: Perhaps the
twentieth century may have no larger
issue than the consideration of what
is to be the relation between the
Anglo-Saxon and the Chinese peoples.
It is imperative that there should be
a radical readjustment of the relations
between the West and the East. The
mutual suspicious and antagonisms Of
the past must be replaced by re-
ciprocal enlightenment, friendliness
and confidence This is one of the
largest and most important of living
questions
Therefore, Your Excellency, in the
cause of fair dealing with Your Excel
Iency's fellow countryn2en, I wish to
bring to Your Excellency's notice a
very recent case of gross injustice to-
wards a certain scholar from China,
a teacher here, Mr.. Lo sun, caused py
an unjust and unreasonable enforce
ment of the exclusion law.
I am also bringing the case to the
attention OF the President Of the Unit
ed States AS an American citizen
and a friend Of China 1 am ashamed
of this unrighteous and un-Christian
law. I trust that in the cause OF right
and liberty, and in the name Of Wash
ington. the Father of Our Country.
whose noble life we remember and
honor today, more Of the spirit of true
friendship and real brotherhood may
exist in the relations between the
peoples of China and America.
with truest greetings to Your Ex-
cellency. "Shun Fung Shun Shut,
May favorable winds and waters
speed you on your way"
I am, Your Excellency. very respect
fully. EDWARD w. THWING-
P. s.-Enclosed a full and true ac-
count of Lo suns case.

FEATHERWORK
TRADED FOR FOOD
Captain Cooks Captains Gave
Valuable Relics for Tea
and Tobacco.

The story of the recent discovery of
a large number of Hawaiian feather
work cloaks in St. Petersburg. where
they had lain since the eighteenth
century, and which were intimately
connected with the tragedy of the
death of Captain Cook, as told in the
Advertiser yesterday morning, was
confirmed yesterday by Professor Val
dimlr sviatlowsky, who added several
interesting particulars to the report.
The fact that the boxes containing the
valuables remained so long unopened
was due, as related, to the fact that
there existed no record of them and
the authorities of the st. Petersburg
museum were in ignorance of the fact
that any such articles were in their
possession. The discovery was made
by accident.
Professor Syiatlowsky states that
the featherwork is in excellent preser
walton and will be used, much of it,
to form the splendid nucleus of a Ha-
waiian collection for the, museum. The
object of his visit here is to secure
further articles for this collection, and
he has proposed to the trustees of the
Bishop Museum to trade a number of
the featherwork articles for the arti-
cles of daily use of the Hawaiians of
that period, poi-pounders. tapa-beaters
and tapas, weapons and such. The
exchange will be gladly made by the
trustees and some of the gifts of Kla-
laniopuu will thus be restored to the
islands after their remarkable adven-
lures.
Great interest has been SHOWN among
the historians and antiquarians of Ho-
nolnlu in the story of the Advertiser
of Professor Sviatlowsky's mission.

dustry, which now receives barely
enough protection to keep it alive.
When Congressman Fitzgerald was
here he threatened our pineapples by
talking of knocking the duty off so as
to benefit the West Indies pines. A
little more protection for rice would
not hurt our rice fields and might re-
store an industry that once fiourished
and was a source of considerable
profit Taft's Philippine policy is not
calculated to help Hawaiian tobacco.
and his work for Manila hemp will
not help our sisal. And we never hear
a word about vanilla, of which we
produce the best and purest In the
world. The gratuitous distribution of
a few barrels in San Francisco, Chi
cago. Washington and New York for
use in hotels with Hawaiian Vanilla
Ice Cream" on the bills of fare would
not hurt the local industry.
Then there is plenty OF work in the
pure food line. a campaign of agitation
for pure coffee to help Hawaii. a mo
chicory" cry, a suppression of drug
store vanilla compound, weak as water
and almost as fiavorless, must compel
administration support as well as gain
adherents from all who are waging the
campaign against adulterated foods
Anything that will permanently help
and rapidly develop Hawaii's agricul-
tural interests will be of greater and
more lasting benefit TO Hawaii than
the Pearl Harbor appropriation. While
waiting for this. why not try a few
of the small-tariff and pure-food side
shows?

THREE FOREST
RESERVES MADE
One of "a, 40 Acres on Island
of Maui and Two of
Small Areas.

Three more forest reserves were Gre
ated yesterday at a public hearing
held by Governor Frear and the
Board of Commissioners of Agriculture
and Forestry, in the office of the Board.
There was no opposition to either of
the reserves and it was decided that
they should forthwith be proclaimed.
The first reserve consists of govern
ment lands in the districts of Lahaina,
Kaanapali and Wailuku, Island of
Maui, which may be described in gen.
eral terms as embracing the entire top
of the West Maui mountain, above a
line so encircling the mountain as to
exclude all agricultural land and con-
tanning an area of 44,440 acres, more or
less.
The second reserve, a small one, is
situated in the district of Hamakua-
poko, Island of Maui, lying on the
northwestern slope of Mount Haleaka-
la, bounded on the north and east by
the Koolau forest reserve, on the south
by the land of Kalialinui and on the
west and northwest by the remainder
of the land of Makawao, and contain
ing an area of 1896 acres, more or less.
Third and smallest is a reserve in
the district of Kona, Island of Hawaii,
lying on the southwestern slope of
Mount Hualalai, bounded on the north
by the land of Puaa l. and on the
south by the land of Kahului II, be-
tween the elevations of 2300 and 5000
feet. and containing an area of 1873
acres, more or less.

There is no occasion to feel gloomy
if Congress should do nothing. dur
ing it's present session, for Pearl Har-
Dor. Federal finances are not in as
good condition as they have been,
and, this being presidential election
year, the party in power must neces-
sarily make an exhibition Of economy.
Pearl Harbor will take care of itself
and the money for its improvement
win be appropriated when those who
are wiser than we are think right.
There are plenty of other things that
Congress can do for Hawaii to which
more attention might be given while
Pearl Harbor is side-tracked. The
Delegate has a bill providing for a
photographic survey which is aimed
to assist agriculture, so push it along.
Then there are more lighthouses need

There are two other bills providing for

NET FISHING IN
HARBOR IS TABU
Superintendent Campbell Stops
1t in the Interests of
Commerce.

For the past two weeks two huis,
nese, have been fishing with nets in
the harbor, on a scale far in advance
of anything that has been seen for a
number of years. Some of the hauls
that have been made have been enor-
nous. In one haul nearly two weeks
ago something like 1000 marketable
fish were secured.
But the enormous spread of net used
has been a source of concern to steam
ship men. The harbor is small, and
the nets used when cast for haul ex-
tend over considerable area of it.
They are made of strong material, as
they have to be, and if they should be
caught in a propeller would cause a
great deal of damage. There have
been several narrow escapes from just
such pTedicaments. The fishermen do
not seem to be very careful to avoid
such accidents. spreading their nets
without much regard TO the move-
ments of steam craft in and out of
the harbor or across it.
The masters of steam craft concern
ed brought the matter before Harbor
No. "a. Masters and Pilots Associa-
ton, and the Harbor brought the mat
ter TO the attention of superintendent
of Public Works Marston Campbell.
Yesterday Superintendent Campbell
issued an order forbidding further fish
ing with nets in the harbor on account
of its interference with commerce. The
order was sent through Harbormaster
Fuller, who notified the fishermen yes
terday. They took the notification
very calmly. and at once pulled up
their nets. Ft is probable, however.
that they will make a protest to Su-
perintendent Campbell, or at least ask
for a hearing on the subject matter.
The paraphernalia used in this
method of fishing is so unique and ex-
tensive that 1t has attracted a great
NkSdf OI dllCAliOD VI IdlC dIIlOAS lAlOSC
whose business calls them to the
waterfront. The nets used are ten or
twelve feet wide and several hundred
feet long. The boats used are of large
size and are used in pairs. The two
boats are lashed side by side by spars
across bow and stern, the two boats
being only about three feet aparr
The two lashed together are operated
as one craft and rowed together to
a suitable point for casting the net.
The lashings that fasten them to-
gether are taken off and the net, half
of which is on one boat and half on
the other, is cast between the two. the
boats separating and each circling
away from the other. as the net is
paid out. When the whole net is paid
out, the boats again come together and
draw in the net, dipping the fish out
as the net is drawn in, so that finally
as the net is drawn completely out of
the water, the haul of fish is landed
in the boats, half of the net is again
on one boat and half on the other.
