.ROADMAsTER HUGHES
IN AN ACCIDENT

Garrett Hughes, road master of the
o. R. & L. Co., received somewhat
serious injuries through the jumping
of the track on the part of the gaso-
line motor he was driving yesterday
morning near Pearl City. He is now
lying at the Queens Hospital with a
badly disloeated shoulder and a num-
Der of superficial bruises.
The motor, on which Mr.. Hughes
was making one of his regular trips
over the line, was travelling at high
rate OF speed when it left the track
on one of the curves, throwing the
driver against the rocky cut and rem
dering him unconscious. He was pick
ed up a short time later by the sec
tion hands and placed on the train for
Honolulu, arriving here shortly after 1
O'Clock
At the hospital it is reported that
the disloeated shoulder has been put
into place and that a of the other
injuries are serious.

THREE BIDDERS
ARE IN SIGHT
CFrom Wednesdays Advertiser

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Copies of plans and specifications fol-
the completion of Nuuanu dam were
taken out yesterday by former Super
intendent of Public Works c. S. Hol-
loway, by l.. NJ. Whitehouse, the orig
inal contractor for the work, and by
E. P. Chaplin, representing the Con-
crete Construction Co. Three probable
bidders for the job are therefore al
ready in sight.
Messrs. Holloway and Whitehouse,
from their former intimacy with the
whole plan, may be expected TO do
some close figuring.
The change in the outer slope, re-
ducing the rock fill and adding stabili-
ty to the structure as already stated
by the Superintendent through the Ad-
vertiser, consists of making a two-to-
one instead of one-to-one outer slope.
This means that the courses of the
slope will be built in steps, as it were,
two feet horizontally to one foot per-
pendieularly, which, it can readily be
understood, will make a wider and
stauneher cross section.
Tenders are advertised for today for
new schoolhouses at Eva and Waia-
nae, the former on the old and the
latter on a new lot. Tomorrow tenders
will be invited for teachers cottage
at Kspaa.
The Superintendent of Public Works
stated yesterday that improvements for
which there are appropriations viii be
kept going ahead as fast as possible.
1t is the aim of the Department to
leave no unexpended appropriations at
the end of the period, for public works
that the Legislature has voted to be
constructed.

A GOOD RECORD
FOR THE GIRLS

Excellent proof of its usefulness is
afforded by the Girls Industrial School
at Palama in its record for last year.
Superintendent w. II. Babbitt of the
Department of Public Instruction has
received the annual report of Mrs.
Sarah Dexter, matron of the institution.
On January l, 1907, the girls in the
school numbered thirty seven. Thirteen
were admitted during the year, ten
were released and one died. December
81, 1907, showed thirty-nine inmates.
The girl who died was admitted in
feeblest condition from tuberculosis,
and was removed to Leah Home some
time before her death, which occurred
there.
During the year the sewing class of
the school made, for the Boys Indus
trial School at Waialee, 264 denim
trousers, 24O pajama shirts, 1913 pillow
cases and lbs sheets.
For lace work, drawn work, other
fancy work and mat, fan and hat weav-
ing total sum of S27s.15 was received
The net profits of this amount are de-
posted in the savings bank to the
respective accounts of the girls who
did the work. and the money is held
for them until they are released from
the institution.
During the year the buildings have
all been painted on the outside and
repaired.
The general health of the inmates
has been very good.
With reference to the work done by
the girls for the boys as already stat
ed, this is part of a system of recipro-
city between the two institutions. On
their part the boys provide the school
for girls with meat and garden products
raised on the Waialee school farm.

GOVERNOR FREAR
HAD A BUSY TIME
AT THE CAPITAL

May to attend the conference of gov
ernors and others which the President
has called TO meet at the White House
The Governor work in Washington
was both effective and comprehensive
He did much to arouse sentiment in
Congress and in the Departments about
the defenses for Hawaii. The work IN
that direction will be furthered as much
as possible by Hawaiian representatives
here as soon as Congress comes to-
gether again. The War Department Of
feials favor an appropriation this win
ter of sufficient size for completing the
defenses in Hawaii. There is also con-
siderable sentiment OF that kind in the
subcommittee on appropriations that
has the preparation of the Notifications
bill. Mr.. Mcclellan talked yesterday
with Gen. Keifer and another member
of the subcommittee whom he found
friendly to the idea. Considerable per-
sona work will be done in talking
with members of the subcommittee and
leading men in the House.
81 have done what I could toward
furthering the immigration BILL" said
Governor Frear TO the Advertiser cor
respondent just before he left Wash
ington. 81 can not say what the out
come will be in Congress. OF course
there is a disposition this winter to
do as little as possible in the way of
legislation and there is some indiffer-
enee about enaeting any immigration
law of any character for the present.
81 have already eabled to Honolulu
that the issue of Maui county bonds
has been approved by the President.
There are assurances that the mail
subvention bill has a good chance for
enactment at this session of Congress.
If it should become law, the diff
Guilty now existing over the enforce
ment of the coastwise shipping laws
between California and the Territory
of Hawaii would be obviated. The eff
forts to have the coastwise shipping
laws modified for our benefit might then
be abandoned.
Governor Frear has reason to be well
pleased with the results of his trip to
Washington. He was courteously re-
eeived on every hand and officials of
the Federal government cooperated
with him cordially.

WASHINGTON, D. C., December 20
Governor Frear has completed his
work here before Congress and the De-
partments and gone TO New York,
whence he starts for San Francisco
and Honolulu, expecting TO reach the
latter city about January Is. He left
complete memoranda with Secretary of
the Interior Garfield on all the i'm
portant Hawaiian questions pending.
Bills have been prepared for the con
sideration of Congress in all cases
where that was necessary. He has
had the active cooperation Of Delegate
Kaianianaole and former Judge Hatch
and Mr.. Mcclellan. Just now, during
the holidays, there is a let up all along
the line, but it is felt that the pre-
liminary campaign OF the winter in
behalf of Hawaii has been conducted
very thoroughly and the plans well
laid.
Governor Frear expected TO be ae-
eompanied back to Honolulu by Hon.
and Mrs. L. A. ThurstOn, who paid a
flying visit TO the Capitol late last
week. Mr.. Thurston was laid up with
grip during much of his visit here He
attended to some business in eonnee-
ton with the Hilo breakwater project
and on his tour, which will include
New York and Los Angeles, is seeing
what arrangements, if any, can be made
for an additional line of regular boats
between the Pacific Coast and Hawaii
because OF the freight assured in the
shipment of ties from Hawaii to the
Santa Fe railroad.
In Chicago Mr.. Thurston had some
cheering information about Hawaiian
grown pineapples. Dealers there as
sured him that they could handle very
large quantities Of those rineapples, in
Guiding both the fresh fruit and the
canned variety and that they were
ready TO accept it on commission or
to buy it outright.
Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Thurston gave an informal dinner at
the ShoreEam to which Governor Frear,
Judge and Mrs. Hatch, Delegate and
Mrs. KalanianaOle and Mr.. and Mrs
George B. Mcclellan were invited.
Governor Frear said, before leaving,
that he expected to be back again in

! THE ARTIFICIAL
RUBBER SCARE p"

In view of the fact that rubber
growing has taken hold in British
| Guiana and upon many islands in the
West Indies, and that many acres are
being devoted to its cultivation. we
think that 1t will interest our readers
to know that we have made extensive
INQUIRIES in the city with regard to-
the new synthetic or so-called COM
pound rubber. and with reassuring re-
suits. It has been declared that sam
pies of IL have been submitted to rub
Der brokers, and that they have proved
satisfactory. but the older brokers
unite in condemning 1t. and in declar-
ing that there is nothing in It which
can in any way compete with the real
article. Mr.. W. G. Tarbet, an author
ity on rubber. has issued the follow
ing statement:
Il do not desire my statements to
be taken at over their value. but. hav-
ing had occasion for a number of years
past to examine practically every rub
Der substitute or synthetic rubber

analytical chemist and editor of the
leading rubber technical journal. my
experience may be of some service.
During that time / had scores OF sam
pies, all Of which were going to revo-
lutioniZe the industry. Not one OF
them proved even interesting-except
two or three where the interest was
confined to the detection of the swim

day, and nothing has been shown me

not believe in the manufacture OF
