FRED JENSEN DIES.

Fred Jensen, one of the best known
and best liked old-timers in this COM
munity, passed away yesterday after
noon at o'clock after lingering
sickness He leaves a daughter, Mar
garet as the only relative in this Ter
ritory. Jensen was an Eagle and the
Eagles took charge of the funeral to-
day, interment occurring at Pearl City
and many attending, the floral remem-
brances being particularly beautiful.
Jensen was a man of much travel
and many worldwide experiences
having been a mariner. Coming to
Hawaii years ago he fell in love with
the country and remained here amid
a circle of friends which widened the
longer he stayed. His death is deeply
regretted by all who knew him.

DOYLE IN JAPAN

Letters received from Chester Doyle,
who is in Japan awaiting the return Of
embezzler Abe from Danny, received by
the mail which arrived yesterday state
that he expects to return to this city
by the Siberia, which is due in this
city on Christmas day The later re-
ports which have come by cable, how
ever, indicate that he will not arrive
till the China reaches this city, which
win be a week on more later.
Doyle states that he is having a fine
time while waiting for the completion
of the extradltion proceedings, and has
made the most of his opportunities by
taking a trip across to Shanghai, where
his sister, whom he has not seen for
some sixteen years, is located. This
he naturally enjoyed very much in
deed.

GOVERNORS
LAND LAW
AMENDMENTS
DRAWING HoMEsTEADs PROPOSED AS
ALTERNATIVE TO PRESENT AUCTION
LAND COMMISSIONER ARBITER OF CONDITIONS WITH
APPEAL TO GOVERNOR COURTS.

The proposed amendments to the
Organic Act which will have effect on
the land laws of this Territory and
which have been submitted to Con-
gress by Governor Frear were given
out by Acting Governor Mott Smith
this morning. Mr.. Mott-Smith stated
that the changes which had been made
by Governor Frear since the first draft
made in San Francisco had been chief
ly in the phraseology, with the idea of
being more exact.
The most important change comes
in the manner of sale of public lands,
in which it is advised that the land
should be either given out through a
drawing by iC. as it is done on the
mainland, or ~ auction, the latter
practice alone being the rule here.
Another extremely important sugges-
ton is that the question of compliance
with the conditions in right of pur-
chase leases, certificates of occupation
or special agreements, shall be de-
cided by the land commissioner. APP

SCHOOL
BANKING
SUPT. BABBITT'S SCHEME FOR
SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS is AN
INNOVATION.

Deputy Attorney General Whitney
has been asked by Superintendent of
Public Instruction Babbitt to prepare
an act, to be passed by the coming
Legislature, which will bring about
the founding of a School Savings Bank
for the Territory. His idea is that all
the bookkeeping and other work of
this kind may be handled in the COM
mercial department of the Mckinley
Memorial High School, where the pu-
pills will, in this manner, learn the
actual work which they would have to
do in a bank.
The money itself according to Bah
bits ideas, should be invested with
some reliable bank or trust company,
where it may draw interest for its
owners The bank mentioned will be
for the children all through the pub
lie schools of the Territory, whom it
is hoped to encourage in saving their
pennies by this method. 1t is believ-
ed that the plan of having the banking
work done in a commercial depart
ment OF one of the schools has never
been tried elsewhere in the United
States.

FREAR'S CHANGES IN ORGANIC ACT
JAP IS
SKEPTIC

The wireless operator aboard the S,
S. Nippon Maru, which arrived last
night from the Orient and sails for
the coast at 2 p. m. today, enjoyed a
rare treat ashore today in conversa-
tion with Manager J. A. Ba,ch of the
Hawaiian Telegraph and Telephone Co.
He hardly believed that Isbell had
heard, at Kahuku, the wireless sta
tions on the Japanese coast talking,
for he has been unable to make any
records, even of a moderate nature,
with the recently installed apparatus
aboard the Nippon.
When he sent message yesterday
morning to II. Hackfeld G. Co., local
agents for the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, he
hardly hoped to reach Kahuku, but
sent out a flyer
In view of the good general service
of the boats of the Toyo Kisen Kai-
sha, wireless people here think it a
pity that better wireless systems have
not been installed aboard the Tenyo
Maru and Nippon Maru, for these YES
sells have small power, though a SEN
sitive receiver like that at Kahuku
can sometimes accomplish wonders
with weak sparks.

peal may be taken to the governor,
whose decision will be final. At pres
ent an appeal of this kind may be
taken to the courts of the Territory.
A provision is inserted by which
preference rights may be given to per-
sons who have resided on leased gov
ernment land and who wish to buy, the
value on the property to be fixed by
board of appraisers.
In order to settle a slight cloud on
title which might arise through the
fact that the actual title to all public
land acquired at the time of annexation
vests in the Federal government and
the Territory has acquired title to
property since then through exchange
and otherwise, it is provided that these
last-mentioned lands shall have the
same status as those acquired through
the joint resolution of annexation.
The setting aside of forest reserves is
a matter which is, according to the
suggestion of Governor Frear, to be
placed entirely in the hands of the
governor.

guarantee of bonds for railroad con-
struction. In this connection Cover
nor Frear suggests that the act passed
by Congress. to handle this matter in
the Philippines on February 6, 1905,
with the exception of the last two
paragraphs and with the substitution
of the words Hawaii for the Philip
pine islands be put in force here. Also
the amount which may be guaranteed
is cut down from $1,2OO,OO0 in the
Philippines to 100000.
By this act it is provided that any
railroad wishing to extend it's lines
may, by following certain special pro-
visions, issue bonds the interest of
which will be for a period of not more
than thirty years guaranteed by the
government. This interest shall not
be over four per cent or a total OF
100000 annually. Among the special
provisions mentioned are that the
government shall appoint two direc-
tors of a road so borrowing money
