The Times
Evening
Story

L"lHE long Italian midsummer day
had reached its elimination al
noon. The weather was al
most too glorious, the heat
too intense, the sun hung like
an immense red-hot globe. and all liy-
ing things were signing for shade.
In the Sistine chapel IN Rome stood
boy OF 10, timidly trying TO copy a
mandonna by Michel Angelo. At his
side stood pitcher OF water and
crust of bread, and from time to time
he stopped working to eat little OF
the meager fare which was far from
enough TO satisfy his youthful ap.
petite.
II wonder IL my father believes that
will make better painter because
I'm half starved all the time" the boy
fnumbied TO himself. II wish l were
back at Dresden instead Of being here
In this heavy sultry air. oh, | wish
was back with my own dear little
mother, and had little OF her good
food"
From one OF the many side naves
OF the immense church came deep
stern voice: Hurry up and finish eat
ing and don't sit there dreaming all
day long"
Dreaming" the boy replied softly,
IL work too hard during the day. and
sleep too hard during the night TO
have any time left for dreams"
But willingly he look up nfs work
once more, though 1t was easy to see
In his pale face that he was very tired.
He painted and painted necessarily
until the semi-darkness OF the chapel
turned into darkness itself, and even
then the stern voice asked him II he
could not work little longer.
mo, father" the boy replied. now
my eyes are hurting me so, and /
am sure I must wipe out again tomor-
row the last strokes OF the brush. Let
us go home, / am SO tired that I'm
dizzy"
At the door of the chapel the faith
er overlook him, and when he saw
how pale and exhausted the child look
ed he began to feel uneasy. He had
never before thought that the child
was working too hard, and that the
many hours inside the dark, damp
chapel with the heavy air slowly I'M
dermined the life from which he ex-
pected so much.
"You shall have some change. my
boy" he said; that is what you
need"

/ WITNESS ARRESTED
AS AN ACCOMPL|CE

zee Mon 10, one of the witne sses
brought down in connection with All
Lum, the alleged Illicit distiller of La
upahoehoe, was yesterday arrested on a
warrant sworn out by United States
District Attorney Breckons, charging
him with Illicit distilling, the evidence
tending 30 show that he was an accom-
plice of All Lum. This evidence came
out in the testimony taken before the
grand jury in the All Lum case. It
seems that zee Mon 10 was near
neighbor of All Lum near Laupahoehoe
and as such helped in the moonshine
business.
Mr.. Breckons was not well yesterday
and did not come down to his office at
all. The grand jury in consequence adj
journed yesterday morning until Mon
day. The grand jury has mot yet made
any report TO the court though it is
known that several indictments have
been voted, or viii sbe.

NEW To OUR
COURTS IS RAISED

A brief was fled yesterday in the
Circuit Court in the case Of KahoIana-
ola T. Williams VS.. w. R. Castle. on
behalf of the defendant. In his case
it is stated question new to Hawaiian
courts has been raised, as to whether
there is dover in equitable estates.
In this case a bill was filed to COM
pei Castle as trustee under the will of
Joshua Williams to allow dover to the
plaintiff in a certain share of the estate
held by him in trust. The conditions
of the trust are that the trustee shall
pay over to the children of Joshua Will
liams share and share alike the income
of the estate. The children of deceas-
ed child are to have their parent s share
and on the death of the last child the
is to be divided among the
heirs.
The plaintiff is the widow of one of
he children of Joshua Williams. But

AUTO ORDINANCE
IS DECLARED VALID

The Supreme Court yesterday in a
decision written by Justice Wilder up
held the validity of the automobile or
dinance in the case of the Territory VS..
.G. E. Schaefer. 1t would seem however
that the ordinance may be declared
invalid in another case if a point not
stated in the certificate of appeal in
this case is raised in any other. The
court holds that there is no discrimina-
ton in the ordinance between resident
and nonresident chauffeurs, which was
one of the principal. points raised by
the appeal. In conclusion howeve- the
court says:
Defendant finally urges that the or
dinance was superseded or implicitly re-
pealed by Revised Laws Sections 31l5
and BIG, as amended by Act IS of the
laws of 1907, following the ruling made
in Territory VS.. McCandless, Is, Haw.
GIG, that a county has no power to
prohibit by ordinance an act already
made penal by Territorial statute. This
point of law was not stated in the
certificate of appeal and consequently
cannot be considered. -
In the police court the defendant was
found guilty of driving his automobile
faster than permitted by the ordinance
This Judgment is affirmed.

MISSOURI SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
TURNED INTO A RINK.
ARE PLEASED WITH NOVELTY
Few Accidents have Happened at the
ST. Louis Institution, The Skaters
Being Guided by Their Sense
Of Hearing

st. Louis. Sept 23.-The students
at the Missouri school for the blind
on Magnolia avenue near Grand ave-
nue. have taken to the roller skating
craze and have insisted ON Superin-
tendent NJ ). Green moving all the
furniture on the gymnasium floor
which they have turned into rink
Half of the larger students, both meh
and women, spend several hours each
day skating about the gymnasium.
Persons present at the skating would
doubt that the young persons were
blind. The fact that they skate with
out accident or collision is due to the
remarkably developed sense OF hear
ing they possess.
Superintendent Green is overjoyed
with the novelty. He says he has
found that the blind do not take
enough exercise and the result that
they are more or less in poor physical
condition. The benefit from the re
suit OF the skating is greater than any
other form OF exercise, as the younA
men and women find pleasure -p it.
For several hours each day the gym.
nasium is thrown open to the stu
dents who care to skate.
Since school opened last THURSDAY
not one of the skaters has met with
an accident, excepting a few falls,
which resulted from coliding with
those skaters who rolled too fast,
losing track of the speed TO be main
suit. as the students have developed
their sense of hearing to such an ex.
tent that they glide by each other as
though they could see.
The number of students enrolled
so far is the largest in the history of
the institution. Eighty seven stu
dents have reported. The capacity =:
the school is 100.
A number OF the students who have
returned 10 complete their course
are expert typewriters. They cal.
reach a fair rate of speed on the ma
chimes. A modified game OF football
will be a future OF the term. A foot
ball has already been purchased, and
play is INDUCED in each day on the
campus.
