Died of Diphtheria.

After only a few short years OF
earthly life, the light of the little
nine years old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Willard Newman was shifted
out last Saturday morning. The
little girl had been to school on
Monday, and on Tuesday she was
taken very sick with diphtheria
sore throat, and died in just a few
days. The funeral services were
held Saturday afternoon, but no
one outside the family was' allow
ed in the house on account of the
dread disease. The parents have
much sympathy in their sad be-
reavement. One more child of the
family is now sick, but it is hoped
by their friends that this one will
recover.

j. P. Morgan Contributes,

j. Pierpont Morgan contributed
$40, 600 to the Republican cam
paign fund and Immediately
stocks were affected fAvorably. OF
course, Mr.. Morgan will be one of
the most substantial contributors
towards Judge Taft's election.
Why shouldn't he contribute lib
erally2 He had his man, George
r. Sheldon, elected treasurer of
the Republican national com
mittee, and he has reason to
believe that all hls immense
corporate interests will be immune
from government regulation just
as they have been in past Republi-
can administrations. Mr.. Morgan
contributed towards the election
of President Roosevelt and Cover
nor Hughes, of New Yosk so did
John d. Rockefeller, E, II. Harri-
man, and other trust magnates.
There is no reason in the world to
expect they will not do the same
thing this year.

The Royal Family.

No ntterance of the campaign
has attracted more attention than
the prediction of Congressman
Nicholas Longworth, the presi-
DENTS son.in-law, who in a speech
at Rock Island, ILL.,, declared that
after eight years of Taft, it would
be Roosevelt in the White House
again. This utterance has caused
Republican campaign managers no
little annoyance. The Republican
view of the incident is we'll set
forth by the Chicago Inter Ocean,
one of the leading Republicans
papers in the entire west, The
Inter Ocean said:
"The Hon. Nicholas Longworth
proposed to 10000 American citi-
zens in Rock Island on Friday that
Mr.. Taft should be made president
of the United States for the next
eight years and Mr.. Roosevelt for
the eight years following Mr..
Taft's second term.
GAS Mr.. Longworth is President
Roosevelt's son law, his words
are accepted usually as semi-otil- :
cial for the White House. This
is the unfortunate feature of his
utterance in the present instance.
"The American people are not
looking for a lord protector. Even
the most ardent admirers of Mr..
Roosevelt would not care to make
him another Diaz. America broke
away from our Royal family some
yaars ago.

"New York is normally a Demo-

year they are thoroughly united.
Consider the enormous vote that
carried Cleveland into the Office of

1t is possible for the Republican
party TO bring good times immed-

Taft as president, why doesn't the
Republican party bring good times

bad times at ALI The Republican
party will be no more in power

the Republican party keep times
good if it has the powerp
The best political asset William

III. B. Whittaker's drama, "The
Governors Pardon.' the neWest
popular play depicting rural life,
was warm reception last night
at the Academy of Music by a
large and enthusiastic audience.
"The Governors Pardon" is a
lighter vein than most of the rural
plays that have achieved popular
ity, and will no doubt be received
everywhere this season. Billy
Zuhn, in the title role, portrays
the country kid and keeps the
audience in laughter while his ef-
forts are ably supported by a
competent company. The scenic
effects and accessories are artisti-
cally correct and the whole unite
to give the amusement loving
public a production that is well
balanced and exceedingly enjoy

ter between man and man for

RICHARDS On
BOXING BOUT
Tells Why the Civic Feds Are
Opposing the Ring
Show.

The point of our opposition to the
advertised boxing contest for Saturday
evening" said Theodore Richards last
evening. lis that the law is very plain
in prohibiting such a contest for paid
admissions and that, being contrary to
the United States law, it does not seem
that we should prepare to encourage
the men of the fleet, soon TO arrive
here, to violate the laws of their coun-
try by indulging in or attending such
exhibitions
consideration of the. Civic Federation
there was no thought of interference,
for we did not at first observe the
cloven hoof; that seemed to be kept
well in the background.
When All Sam, one of the advertised
contestants, was spoken to as to
whether or not he realized that he
would be breaking the law, he said
that he knew nothing of the kind He
had not been informed. Several peo-
pie have asked US if they are likely to
get into trouble by participating in the
affair to the extent of Witnessing it.
THE United States District Attorney
now takes the attitude that the whole
matter hinges on an Interpretation of
the word fight whereas to our minds
the law is perfectly plain, as brought
out in the letter of objection of the
Civic Federation.
Nov. working this prizefighting
business into the fleet is bad busi-
ness, and that appears, from every
thing that is said. to be the end in
view, to get up such fights while the
fleet is here. The boys of the fleet
should by no means violate the Law,
nor should they be led into so doing
such exhibitions may be legal on
the Coast, but they are not here.
There appears to be gathering here
q crowd of professional robbers, and
we are Informed, l don't know how
that this is only the begin
ming of a proposition to introduce reg
ular prizefights here.
This calls for interruption for edu-
cationa1 reasons. Why, even the kids
on the street are talking fight
I'VE intend to do away with this kind /
of thing and we are making no bluff. /
If We can not accomplish the work |
through Mr. Breckons-well, there are /
other ways"

MILITARY ENTHUSIASM.

visit to the drillshed any night to
observe the military enthusiasm of the
local youth also reveals rapid progress
in tactics, and a keen interest appears
to prevail among many young men not
yet members of the National Guard.
The most recent and one of the most
promising contingents is whae will
likely be known as "A" Company, of
which Fred Angus has been elected
captain. Luther Evans first lieutenant,
and Bob Clark second lieutenant. These
boys were drilling last night, under
command of Captain Angus. Colonel
Sam Johnson casting experimenting
eye.
In the new company are three of the
Evans. three of the Gertz and three Of
the Chillingworth families-a sort of
trinity of triplets.
Major Camara, formerly of the Ma
tfonal Guard. wants to contribute
couple OF companies, having the sig
natures of 100 young Portuguese who
are anxious to get in and be soldiers.
Though last evening was rainy. there
was a splendid turnout of guardsmen,
and Colonel Johnson declares that the
spirit persists in moving in the right
direction.

BITS OF CURBSTONE GOSSIP
ON THE POLITICAL RIALTO

Hawaiians over on the big island are
said to be for Link McCandless be-
cause they have been led to believe
that he would get each of them a piece
of land.
Charley Motley, the Home Rule lead
er, doesn't yet know whether he will
run for Congress or not He is going
to leave it all to his followers. The
idea of endorsing old party candidates
is under discussion. There may be
more in it.
Motley is going to knock the Demo-
Gratis hard if the Republicans treat
him right. BY way of getting ready
he is after a photograph of VIM. A.
Kinney standing over John Sherman
while the latter signed the Annexa-
ton treaty. That will prove beyond a
doubt, says Motley, that, when Sher-
man took the country away from the
Hawaiians, he did it under local
Democratic influence.

People are warming up for Cooper

The latest suggestion for the Federal
bench is Chief Justice Hartwell who,
if he gets the place, will hope to make
room on the Supreme bench for his
son-in-law, Albert Judd. The Chief
.Justiceship would then lie between
Wilder and Ballou. At least so gos-

DRY WEATHER
HAS REDUCED
NUUANU SUPPLY
Less Than One. Third as Much Water SUPPLIED
This Year so Far as Was Furnished Last
Year---A Deficient Rainfall.

The present water supply situation
anxiety to Superintendent of Public
Works Marston Campbell and Super
intendent of Water Works Little. The
necessity for restricting irrigation is a
distasteful one to them. But it is ne
cessity at present, not solely because
of a low supply of water now. but be-
cause of the season. While more pro-
fuse rains may be expected next month
than the present, the heavy rains can
not be expected for several months.
The present situation is brought
has been an unusually dry year AS
compared with last year, the Nuuanu
watershed has not supplied more than
a third as much water for the city as
it did last year.
During the four months, January,
February, March and April of last year
the Nuuanu reservoirs supplied an
average of 1883. .446 gallons a day. Dur
ing the four months of this year the
supply has averaged 2,099, ,440 gallons d
day.
BY months the comparative average
daily supply for the two years was as
follows: January, 10,4S7,S06 gallons in
1907 and 2,414,741 in 1908; February, g.
-456, ,214 and 3,211, 72O; March, 7,373,064 and
Z, All ,290 April, 3,040,70O and 2,302,00
The rainfall by months during the
two years, taken at the upper reser-
voir, is as follows: January, 1920
inches in 1907 and 4.53 inches in 1908;
February, l6.17 and 12.S7: March, 1912
and 1868: April, 7.56 and ST.. The total
for the four months in 1907 was 57.65l

inches and in 1908 only 41S5 inches
The rainfall during May of last year
was 1924 inches, while the rainfall so
far this month, and the month is
nearly gone, has been only about four
inches. This makes a difference of
nearly twenty inches in the rainfall of
the two years, difference which vi
tally affects the water supply.
The water works are now pumping
up to their full capacity.
'tThe editorial in the Advertiser this
morning concerning the waste of water
in the Asiatic quarter" said Superin-
tendent Campbell, was very much to
the point. The department inspectors
are doing everything that they can,
and We have as many men on this
work as our funds will allow. But it
is a difficult matter to control. Water
is found going to waste and those al
lowing it to go to waste are required
to turn it off and are admonished. But
as soon as the inspectors back is turn
ed the waste begins again. In build
ings where we find this waste is going
on We shall be obliged to put in meters
and require the landlords to pay the
meter rates, so that they will see to it
that water is not so wantonly wasted.
But the dry weather since the first
of the year is responsible for the pres.
ent condition. During the first four
months of this year the rainfall was
sixteen inches less than last year.
Even the 1S-inch rainfall in March of
this year came, most of it. in one food.
so that it was of less service to us than
a less amount better distributed would
have been.
THE department feels its response
bility in this matter and is doing
everything it can to meet the situa-
ton -
