! The manifest advantages and at
fractions for tourists in Honolulu as
compared with Fiji are often quoted
by visitors passing through here. AL
| though, as we have often stated in
these columns, we think more should
b done in Suva TO heautify the town

must admit that Hawaii has the ad-

assistance from Washington.

of the appropriations for Hawaii for
Hawaii for the current year,
COPIES of the Civil Sundry Appro-
priation Bill have come to hand. 1t
is found that Hawaii was even more
generously treated by Congress in the
past session than has previously been
reported. Among the appropriations
are a number of items which seem to
have passed without much notice. For
the leprosarium on Molokai the bal
ance of the $4,000 dollars appropriation
of 1905 is reappropriated and in addi-
ton the sum of 10000 dollars for main
tenance is provided.
"Other items in this bill are as
follows: For a light and fog signal
station at some point on the northerly
or westerly coast of Kauai, $4,000 dol
lars; for surveys and necessary re-sur-
veys of the Pacific Coast, including the
Hawaiian Islands and Alaska, and 9TH

TORPEDO GUN
, TO SINK SHIPS
New Weapon Given a Test and Proves
a Complete
Success.
TO EXPLODE INSIDE VESSEL.
Device of Commander Davis May
Prove Powerful War
Implement
TO EXPLODE INSIDE vESSE

BOSTON, August 12,-Ordnance ex-
perts of the Army and Navy today
expressed great satisfaction at the
performance of the new Davis torpedo
gun, invented by Commander Cleland
Davis, United States Navy. Tests were
made at Fort Strong, Boston harbor,
yesterday, three of the projectiles be-
ing fired and in every test the tar
get was overturned Several more
tests were made today.
One torpedo was fired at target off
Sheep island, and it accomplished the
object of it's inventor, passing through
the target without decorating the real
charge, the thickness and resistance
of the target representing the outer
and inner bottoms and three bulk
heads of a battleship. officials Of
both the Army and Navy and others
interested in the experiment were wit
nesses.
The Davis torpedo is a combination
gun and projectile in itself and is eff
fective at 5000 feet, having its own
motive power, similar to that on the
ordinary Whitehead torpedo.
The projectie is in two parts. 1t Is
forty-five centimeters in diameter and
five meters long. The outer tube is
oh 9th If a
inner torpedo, and behind the torpedo
proper are forty pounds of high eX-
plosive. When the nose of the pro-
jectile comes in contact with any OBJ
stacle which stops it's progress-pref-
erably the enemys ship-the concus-
sion, no matter how slight, sets off the
forty pounds of explosive.
The explosion drives the projectile
through the object struck and at the
same time starts time fuse that
causes the torpedo proper to explode a
few seconds later 1t is this double
action that gives the Davis projectile
it's great value. The two objective
points in aiming at the enemy's vessel
are naturally the magazine and engine
rooms. If the magazine is struck, the
result is Obvious; if the engine-room
receives the force of the blow, the
least that can happen is to stop all
the machinery of the vessel and make
the ship as defenseless as canoe.
Commander Davis has been working
upon this idea for the past two years.

COMMITTEE
IS PROPOSED
Honolulu, Aug. %, 1908.

tlOuOlulu, aug. u, IJUC.
EDITOR starr read some time
ago Mr.. George Castles proposition
that the rich men of these islands
give one-half of their income, for one
year, to charity, and that these funds
be divided among the charitable insti-
buttons of the city, and | think it a
grand idea. This also means, l take
it, that he himself is willing to do
likewise, and which speaks well both
for his head and heart. But while this
is a contamination greatly to be wish
ed, it is l fear, something too good to
be realized. But while it is thought,
not many if any would give so large a
sum, it is thought that a great many
might give a quarter and still more a
tenth of their income to so good a
cause. Certainly as this is one of
the best years these islands have ever
known, something can be done along
those lines, if only some one would
make a start.
l am of the opinion that if a COM
mittee were formed with Mr. Castle at
the head of it to handle this matter
great things could be done; and that
many if not all of these grand ideas
Of Mr.. Castles might be realized. Ger
tainly this grand idea of his is too
good to lose sight of, particularly as
so many are in a position to give not
only all that he asks, but infinitely
more, and without feeling it at all.
And there are scarcely any of us so
poor that we could not give something
and there are great many / believe,
that would be glad of the chance. But
like everything else it must have
beginning. Some one must start the
ball rolling; and who 1 would like to
ask is better fitted to do this and to
be at the head of it than the gentleman
that first proposed it, or Mr.. George
Castle?

taught Honolulu something in base
ball, also, of course, learning some
thing to their advantage from contact
with Hawaii's enthusiasts.
1t seemed that everybody who ever
played in a ball game or who ever saw
one in this city, even those who watch
the sport from the tree-tops and
through knot holes in the fence, turn
ed out to bid the Santa Claras bon
voyage and to wave farewells.
Not a man of the team but who was
laden with assorted leis and it must
not be forgotten that all who were
thereto do the au revoir were not men
and it might not be exaggerating to
say that nine or dozen tears were
surreptitiously shed.
The band played and the local fans
cheered and the deck, on the vesseTs
departure, was ornamented by as fine
a bunch of sporting talent as ever
looked over rail with dew-bedimmed
eyes at the fading wharf and the good
folks thereon.
The Santa Claras have won on the
diamond and in the estimation ana
admiration of the community and they
are wanted here again and they will
someday come again.

POLICE RAID
A "BLIND-PIG''
IGNORANT DAGo CAUGHT WITH
1.-THE GOODS ON HIM" AND IS
FINED $50 AND cosTs-lNTEND-
ED TO SELL A LITTLE BOOZE
WITH OTHER BUSINESS.

What really amounted to "a storm
in teapot" was the arrest last night
Of two dagoes, Joseph Polio and Joe
Schultze, in a store in the Lally block,
Moorhead, the men being charged with
conducting blind pig. Polio conducts
the store, fruit, cigars, etc, and began
business few days ago, alleging that
he paid rent SIS in advance. Officers
Bergstrom, Erickson and Longfield
were put wise to the fact that there
was a stock of beer and liquors which
despite the fact that 1t was Sunday
making the crime more serious, were
being sold without license. The off,
GERS went to the place and besides two
large jugs containing some whisky
they picked up sundry bottles of that
which made Milwaukee famous and
four TASKS Of stuff which the officers
marked whisky. The two men and the
stuff were removed to police head
quarters. Before Justice Torson today
the two prisoners appeared, and amid
a lot of jabbering 1t quickly became
apparent that the men were ignorant
OF any wrong doing, in fact after ex-
plantations by friends and by Polio,
Schultze was absolved of any wrong
doing. He happened to be in the store,
but all dagoes looked alike to the DO
lice. After the court had fully satisfied
himself that there had been no more
wrong than the mere careless handling
Of Intoxicating liquors and that If there
had been any dispensing, it was in
absolute ignorance of the law and
business customs, he imposed fine of
$50 and costs, the least he could do
under the law, and 1t was paid.
