every boy and girl in Massachu
sets is seven years or 200 days
each; let US say it takes four
years more to get a good educa-
ton. Reckoning eleven years of
200 days each at school are equal
to $22, 900, and a simple division
on the blackboard will bring it
home to the comprehension of
every boy that every day at
school, properly spent, must be
worth $40
One director asked whether
it is violation of the compulsory
law it a farmer keeps at home
his eleven year old boy to
pillow, because it costs one dollar
a day to get some man to do it
for him. While he is putting one
dollar into his own pocket he is
robbing the boy of ten dollars in
the shape of future earning ca
pacity. Is not that high handed
robbery by the father of his
own child?-N. @. Schaeffer, in

SP|LLNER CLAIMS
THE CAPTURE
CFrom Sundays Advertiser.)

Captain a. spillner, the plantation
policeman OF Oahu Plantation, claims to
have captured Rodrigues, the escaped
convict and outlaw, unassisted by any
other police officer. He made the fol-
lowing statement regarding the matter
to the Advertiser yesterday.
"on Friday afternoon about o'clock
while 1 was in the plantation office. a
Portuguese boy came into the office
and told me to go at once TO the Port
uguese camp as there was a Porto
Rican man there who was rapping on
the windows and soaring the people.
As soon as he told me this he went
right out TO go back and watch the
man. left Immediately and went to
the camp which was not far away.
When I got there I was told that the
man had gone on to the Spanish camp
which was not more than fifty yards
further on. and that he had gone into
a house which was pointed out to me.
at once dismounted and put my
horse out Of sight and quickly lodged
around and got near the house which
it was said he had gone into. Coming
up stealthily I saw Rodrigues sitting
on the yeranda Of the house, facing
a ricefield-nOt a canefield. 1 imme-
diately covered him with my revolver,
which had in my hand and called to
him to throw up his hands. He was
surprised and obeyed. Still keeping
him covered I came up closer TO him,
and told him to take off his belt. This
he did Then asked him what he had
inside his shirt. I made him take it
out II proved 10 be a dagger in a
sheath Then I took him up 10 the /
'fiee and put handouts on him and
-eiephoned to Pearl City TO the police !
here About an hour later Deputy /
Sheriff Fernandez sent a Police officer
% whom turned over the prisoner, +
landcufed- With him I turned over
he dagger, and the new rain coat and
Inner pail which he had when I cap
ured him The rain coat I understood
belonged to q luna on the plantation.
7e had stolen il that day, apparently.
up in the rain coat was a

aimed rice. and4Japanese cabbage. just

Where I captured him was at least

SEVEN PAYING
CROPS IN k0NA

1NOAt - NSAA SSC4lAS prosperous
times now," said Thomas c. White,
government land agent at Kealakekua
in that district who is in Honolulu for
a few days. Anyone who wants to
work can find it in Kona, and well paid
work too. The district is being de-
veloped rapidly. We have seven crops
which it has been demonstrated can
be profitably raised and for which
there is market, and are experiment.
ing with others. There is sugar, cof-
fee, pineapples, vanilla, soy beans,
sisal. and rice, and we are experiment.
ing with tobacco.
Soy beans are raised in large quan-
titles there now, and we supply the
Honolulu market. But as the manu-
facture of soy increases there is a
pansion OF this crop. These beans are
planted between the rows of coffee or
sugar cane. and as they are a true
lupin. they act as a fertilizer to the
land. Besides. planting in this way
saves the expense Of clearing land
specially for them.
"A new pineapple cannery is to be
constructed in the region so that the
opportunity for planting pineapples is
open to all. The Kona Development Co.
is doing a great deal. Land is being
taken up in all directions to be cul-
tivated.
Experiments with upland rice have
shown that it grows prolifically and
can be raised profitably. Mr.. Krauss,
the rice expert of the United States
Experiment Station has given advice |
in regard to these experiments, and /
has furnished seed rice of different 4
to be planted and expert /
mented with. The rice raised there is /
Of the finest quality, and ought TO .
command a good price in any market. /
Everywhere throughout the district \
here is development and progress. 1t .
s a condition Of things very satisfac-
.ory."

EXCLUSION ACT
BEING APPLIED
From sundays Advertiser.)

500 Kwai Yin, a Chinese woman, was
arrested yesterday afternoon under a
Federal warrant charging her with be-
ing "unlawfully in the country" She
was sent TO Jail to await examination
before the United States Commission
er. 500 Kwai Yin is said to have
gained admission to the country, by a
recently arrived steamer, as the wife
of a local Chinese business man,
whereas District Attorney Breckons
will endeavor to prove that she is no
nearer a relation TO him than his sec
Ond living wife The presumably
bigamous husband is employed by a
Honolulu firm and has been in these
islands for eight or ten years.
Warrants were issued yesterday for
the arrest of two Chinese men, also
for violations of the Exclusion Act.
The charge against one is tantamount
to forgery, being that of altering a
certificate of Hawaiian residence.
Perjury is the charge laid against the
other, in falsely representing himself
before an immigration board of in
speetion as being a son of the man
holding the altered certificate just
There is reason to believe that the
of the next regular term of
the United States District Court will
be crowded with Chinese Exclusion
Act cases. Some time ago instructions

CHINESE TENANT
IN PRED|CAMEN1

A Chinese tenant OF Madame Puahi
at Waikiki is between the devil and
the deep sea-" II ever anybody has
been in the predicament described in
that old saying.
Lately the Territory OF Hawaii OBJ
tanned Judgment OF ejectment against
Madame Puahi for certain land at
Waikiki. An appeal 10 the Supreme
Court was taken by defendants attor-
ney. c. W. Ashford, who at the trial
had disputed the Territory's title to
the crown lands. even taking constitu-
tional issue with the Organic Act with
regard TO that portion of the Terri
torially claimed public domain.
Pending the determination OF the ap-
peal in the Supreme Court, the Chinese
vised by the Government TO pay no.
rent to her. On the other hand he has
been notified by Madame ruahi THAI
he must forthwith pay his rent TO the
last due date or leave the premises.
1t was reported yesterday that Ma
dame Puahi had entered upon the
premises with a view to ousting the
Chinese. while the Chinese was holding
the fort to resist the intended custer.
Lessor and lessee. it was stated, held
possession respectively of the first and
second floors of the house on the land.
There was much consulting among
officials over the situation.
but at late hour in the afternoon no
action had been taken. A writ of pos
session based on the Circuit Court |
Judgment was discussed, bit that re-
course would seem to have been DEEM |
ed useless with the pending of the case
in the Supreme Court. 1t is expected |
to be heard there the coming week.

GOODBYE To THE
WEARY MARY"

The CA. S. s. Miowera was in mort
yesterday afternoon probably for the
last time At least, according to pres
fnt plans, she was in port for the
last time as one Of the Canadian
Australian line OF steamers. When
she reaches Sydney on this voyage she
will go into the inter-colonial service
Of the Union Steamship Company Of
New Zealand, plying between Austria
liza and ports in New Zealand.
The Miowera gave her name to a.
reef along the channel into Honolulu
harbor not far from the present new
front range light. On this reef, on
the Eva side Of the channel near the
entrance to the harbor, she went
ashore in 1894, and it was forty days
before she was gotten Off That she
was ever saved is due very largely to
the fact that the weather was good
all the time. There were no heavy
seas to pound her to pieces. Captain
Metcalf Of San Francisco, who after
wards salved the Manchuria, was sent
for and he got the vessel into deep
water again, and, after being repaired,
she has been in service ever since, ex-
cept when she was on a reef in Nor
way. 1t Is said that these disasters
gave her the famous list to starboard.
Whether that Is 50 or not, the list is
there. II is always with her. She
came into port yesterday with IT.
The Weary Mary" is term often
applied to her, being a grotesque per-
version Of pronunciation Of her own
Maori name. Aside from the gro
tesqueness Of II, there was a certain
humor in the appeilation. because the
vessel was so often behind her sched-
uIe whenever she encountered any suc-
cession Of bad weather.
But, after all, the Miowera has been
a very useful vessel to this port. Many
local people have Travelled on her at
times, when her arrival and the pos-
sibiIity Of their departing by her were
very opportune. She has been an ad-
ditional mail boat every month for
many years. and she will be missed
Weary Mary win be missed.
