QUESTION OF PAY
IN HIGH SCHOOL
Offer From College to Teacher
Brings the Matter Into
Discussion.
MIGHT DEMoRALIzE SCHEDULE.
Enlargement of Maui School Needed
To Accommodate Japanese
Children.

More pay for the teachers in the
High School was the most important
subject brought up at the meeting of
the Board of Education yesterday at
ternoon, The matter was brought up
through the announcement that Mr..
Donaghho, mathematics teacher of the
High School, had been offered a posi-
ton with the College of Agriculture.
Mr.. Garden thought that it was better
to hold the teacher by offering him a
raise of $25 per month making nis sal
airy $3.50, but Waterhouse objected on
the ground that the arranged schedules
should be maintained and to make an
exception would cause trouble. The
matter went over to a special meeting,
Babbitt stating that a similar request
might be expected from Mr.. Blanchard,
commercial teacher of the High
School.
A change IN the long vacation was
made, the start or school being placed
one week ahead of what has been the
custom up to this time. The matter of
providing accommodations for the
children of the districts of Honoko-
wal and Kaanapaii was brought up. A
large Japanese camp in which there
are between fifty and sixty children at
Honokowai has caused a need of more
room. 1t was decided to enlarge the
present building instead of moving the
school closer to the camp.
The recommendation of the teach
ers' committee that a new grade be
established at the Grammar school, in
which the graduates of the public
schools could be prepared for the High
School, was accepted. The following
members of the Board were present al
the meeting: Superintendent Babbitt,
F. T. P. Waterhouse, Judge Perry and
John Garden.

DRESS REHEARSAL
A GREAT SUCCESS

At no time have the witnesses of a
dress rehearsal had more pleasure than
at the Opera House last night when
Mr.. Adams and most excellent COM
pany went through the passages of
THE Man of the Hour" There was
not balk in a single scene and the
costuming was perfect because it was
modern. There was no drawing upon
the imagination nor search of old
volumes to learn how this or that
character was dressed in the days of
graft because that day is here and, as
Horrigan says, there is graft every
where from newspapers to lawyers,
and maybe higher up"
The finer scenes in the play went by
without a hitch or a suggestion of i'm
provement anywhere. Every member
of the cast was letter perfect. There
was very little prompting even for Mr..
Wilder, who seldom says the same
things twice in any play because his
work at his easel and his duties as a
juryman forbid his strict attention to
the part he represents. His stage
career covers so many years, however,
that he can gag and get back to his
cue where many others would fail and
the result is quite as satisfactory to
his audience and more entertaining,
usually, to other members of the cast.
This is one of the last opportunities
the public will have to help the yacht
and they should not overlook it, The
yacht needs the money. The perform
ance is not for the benefit of an in
dividual but for the purpose of bring
ing Hawaii to tie fore in the yachting
world, The tickets are for sale at
Wall, Nichols Co., at SOC, 75c and one
dollar and the show will be worth the
money.

OLD LANDMARKS
ARE CHANGED
METHODIST TITLE OF PRESIDING
ELDER AND PROBATIONARY
SYSTEM ABOLISHED.

BALTIMORE, June 1.-The time
honored title of presiding elder" was
abolished by the adoption of a minor
ity report from the revision commit
tee of the Methodist Conference, rec
ommending that the name be changed
to district superintendent by vote
of 1922 ayes to 21O noes. This radical
change of terms is the outgrowth of
desire to denote the Office more cor
rectly.
Reports and other business were
rushed through the conference at both
morning and afternoon sessions with
the greatest dispatch. Some of the
more important measures, however,
had to run the fire of debate before be-
ing acted upon. One of them pertain
ed to heresy trials. Charges of heresy
which may be laid against professors
in the seminaries, if they come to the
Bishops, will in the future be turned
over to the annual conference of which
the accused is a member, if he be a
minister, and if a layman to the pastor
of the church to which he belongs. In
the past, when charges of this char
acter have been preferred against a
teacher the Bishops have had to pass
upon their validity and afterward APP
point conferences to sit at their trials.
A report which received careful con-
sideration before it finally was adopt
ed was one doing away with the six
months probation system. Under the
new rule, persons may be received into
the church as soon as they are recon-
mended by the official board or by the
class leaders and stewards, meeting
with the approval of the pastor,

ALLEGED LETTERS OF FEDERAL
JUDGE GROSSCUP PUBLISHED
BY FORMER CLERK.

CHICAGO, June 1.--Judge Peter S.
Grosscup of the United States Circuit
Court gave out a statement today in
reply to a story printed in morning
newspaper and illustrated with what
'purported to be letters to and from
the jurist concerning railroad passes,
said to have been asked for by him
and granted to him. He accused a for
mer deputy clerk in his court, c. X.
Pickard, of having made the letters
public after using them threateningly
in an effort to obtain a position with
the Chicago Railways Company
through Judge Grosscups influence.
"Piellard, who handed these letters
to a morning paper" said Judge Gross
cup, sent me a notice several weeks
ago that unless l secured him an APP
pointment with the new Chicago Rail-
ways Company he would publish some
correspondence he had in his posses
sion. l did not know what he referred
to, but that threat sett ed it with me.
No person in all this world has any
letters of mine or other information
that he can successfully use to frighten
me with"
Grosscup does not deny that he wrote
the letters.

felt was too independent, though they
have never asserted that he violated
the law.
The following licenses were granted:
w. G. Peacock & CO., wholesale; Gus
tav Cordes, saloon; Wing Chong Lung

BUN T S

Saturdays games were slow in spots
and could have been frightened up
bit by the captains, especially in that
usual long wait between innings when
the sides change. Some of the boys
go at it as if it we're work, when they
should put little vim into it.
Berger and his band have not favor
ed the fans for some time now. Heine
is learning some new pieces which he
intends trying on the crowu.
Soares got his finger in the way, with
the result that he now carries very
bad hand. It's a shame to break up
a mans fingers but it's all in the game
and game man" is the idol of all

Evers again demonstrated his ability
to handle the ball, by making one OF

THE BARNES SCHOOL LAW.
A Suit to Test Its Legality Being
Brought in Allen County.

lola, Aug. 17.-Mandamus proceed
ings, started for the purpose of bring
ing out a friendly test of the legality
of the Barnes high school law, so far
as it affects Allen county, will be insti-
tuted against the board of county
commissioners Monday morning to
compel them to levy a tax as provided
by the Barnes law. 1t is probable
that the lola board will bring the suit,
although all of the boards will join
in paying a pro rata share of the ex-
pense of the suit.
Thomas j. Anderson and George
Reynolds county commissioners re-
fused to levy the tax provided by the
Barnes law, after receiving the advice
of c. j. Peterson, county attorney and
Charles H. Apt, his deputy.
Attorney Apt delivered the main
opinion for the commissioners. He
held that the Barnes law, by reason of
its having failed to receive a plurality
at the election at which the propos-
ition was submitted to the people, did
not pass in Allen county and, there
fore was not effective here. thus leav-
ing the board without legal authority
for making the levy which the Barnes
law provides for the maintenance of
high schools.
