MONEY MISSING FROM
kAlHUMlNU TREASURY

An embarrassing financial difficulty
has arisen in the administration of
affairs of the Kaahumanu Society,
and is holding the attention of off,
GERS and members. 1t has resulted In
the financial duties being shifted from
the hands of former official to the
present one, because something like
$500 or $500 can not be properly ac-
counted for.
The Kaahumanu Society is one of
the oldest of the societies, composed
almost entirely of women OF Hawaiian
birth. The society was organized
many years ago. and to it belong most
of the women of high rank or those
who are descended from those of high
rank according to Hawaiian custom.
It has numbered in its membership
Hawaiian women who have held high
places about the royal court in the
days of the monarchy. Lately the So
ciety was reorganized and new life in
jected into it's affairs and the menu
bership was greatly enlarged. Many
wealthy Hawaiian women became
members and gave literally to its
fund, as it is benefit association
from which the members. while sick.
receive allowances. and those who die
are buried by the society. unless other
wise provided for. 1t is said that the
money unaccounted for is a portion
of the fund which was. by the rules
of the society, due certain wealthy
women members who died, for the
funeral expenses, which expenses were
borne out OF their own estates.
member of the society stated yes

$50 it would not have attracted atten

When the hour arrived yesterday
morning for all japanese plantation
Aea to go to work, few responded and
the management was almost imme-
.diately in receipt of information that
a strike was in progress. The strike
involves in the neighborhood of 1900
1aborers,
Backed by the two main agitators
of the so-called "Higher Wage Asso-
-ciation,' the strike was ordered during
Saturday night and at clock yes
terday morning when the agitators re-
turned to Honolulu after an all night
session. the word was passed along for
the laborers to remain in their quar-
tiers. AS far as could be learned from
those who were instrumental in bring
ing all work ON the big estate to an
abrupt and embarrassing termination
their intentions are not only to tie uE
the Honolulu plantation, but another
one also. In short, their plan is to
tie up the plantations on this island
in pairs.
Fred Maxine, one of the instigators
of the present agitation for higher
wages, which was begun by him and
Negoro, and not by the laborers them
selves. stated yesterday that quartet
of four japanese came to town from
-Aiea Saturday evening on bicycles in
search of him and his friend. Maxine
and Negoro went to Aiea by motor

Hilo Herald-Probaly not many peo-
pie in Hilo are aware of the fact that
the city is at present entertaining as
visitor a scientist whose name Is
known in all the scientific centers of
Europe, namely Father Urban Faurie,
who arrived in the Mauna Kea last
Wednesday and is now a guest at the
local Catholic mission. Father Faurie is
botanist of considerable note, being
a correspondent of all the largest seien-
tifc institutions of Europe, and ne has
come to Hawaii to make a thorough in
vestigation of matters botanical, espe-
eially some phases of the Island fora
which are still new to science
Father Faurie has been in Japan for
thirty-six years, during which time he
has done much work in collecting speci-
mems of the japanese fora, which has
given him great name in scientific
circles. He has also collected many
plants in Formosa, among them some
az have come to Hawaii to make
an investigation of the Hawaiian
fora said Father Faurie when seen
last week on the day of his arrival.
He was at the time busy among the
plants found in the garden of the mis-
sion school on Waianuenue street, nav
ing already gathered an armful OF
branches and herbs, which he intended
to prepare so that they could be sent
to Europe.
ssWhile [ will take up all the various
phases of the local FORA continued
Father Faurie, Kit is my intention to
devote special attention to the Hawai-
ian MOSES. lichens and ferns, as moth
ing has been done in regard to them
in a scientific manner heretofore. Doc
tor Hiidebrand s work on the fora of
the Hawaiian Islands has not even got
the slightest reference to these, and
will be the first time that these plants
are classified and described. 1t is my
intention to gather numerous specimens
of each variety and send them to Der.
lin, Paris, the British Museum and
museums in other cities of Europe. The
specimens will then be sent to different
specialists. for instance, one IN Paris
who will describe the liehens, and a
man in Berlin, who is an authority
on MOSES. and these men will classify
and describe the various specimens.
sfThis country is particularly rich In
MOSES, ferns and liehens. 1t is my
firm belief that there are, at least. a
thousand different varieties, and prob
ably many more, and many Of these
are undoubtedly totally unknown to
science. OF course, many of the varie
ties are found in other countries, but
every country has some which are IN
dividual to it. and these are of the
greatest interest. / think it will take
two or three years before the work
of classification and description OF the
plants which I will send from here

time. Those who went on the Luka,
under tow of the Mokolii, thought
they had the best of it, but the big
bunch of live ones on the Helene
stated loudly that they had had the
best time, and the smaller parties on
the other yachts were equally certain
that they had the best of everybody
in sailing with their own friends.
AS matter of fact, everybody who
went had the best time. From the
start of the fleet out of Honolulu har-
Dor to the time that the yachts re-
turned and passed their load of sun
burned passengers ashore. there was
not hitch, not a sign of any pilikia.
The boats all reached Pearl Harbor in
good time, there was plenty to eat for
everybody. and everybody was put
ashore in Honolulu in plenty of time
to get home for supper
Harbor Busy Early.
Shortly after o'clock the harbor
was scene of much getting busy ION
the part of the captains and crews
Of the yachts. The Hawaii was made
fast to the outer edge of the Oceanic
wharf, and Alec was busy getting the
saileovers off and casting gaskets
loose. Farther up the bay the Kane
hameha, Gladys and Charlotte c.
showed signs of activity, and the
Helene, also warped to the Oceanic
wharf, was being made ready for the
twenty-fi B. P. o. Els. who made the
trip aboard of her.
By $50 the harbor was dotted with
sailing craft, fitting back and forth,
waiting until the Mokolii should start
out with the Luka behind her. The
power schooner left her berth at the
Hackfeld wharf shortly before 10
o'clock, and towed the Luka over to
the Oceanic wharf, where a large
crowd had collected. The band was
playing, flags were flying, the sun was
shining, the breeze was blowing and
gaiety was in the air.

Hats off to Captain Miller, to Mrs.
Kid. These were the three people who
made the excursion from Honolulu to
Pearl Harbor yesterday possible, and
it was they who made the affair the
grand success it was.
The whole truth is out at last 1t
is bound to come out sometime, and
now that the excursion is over, there
is nothing to keep it back. 1t was
entirely owing to the craftsmanship
and courtesy of the directors of the
MILLER ships" or whatever they call
the good company that has charge
and ownership of the Mokolii, the
other seaworthy craft, that the excur-
sion was possible.
When Captain Miller heard OF the
event being planned he stated that the
yacht club could have the use of the
Mokolii, the Luka and Spray, without
price of any kind, but he requested
that his name be not mentioned in
the matter. Mrs. Miller is the owner
of the Luka. and she heartily en-
dorsed Captain Miller's offer. After
the good time that everybody had on
the excursion to Pearl Harbor yester-
day, it is only fair to give credit to
Captain Miller and Eben Low for the
work they did in putting their boats
in commission and taking down the
largest and most enthusiastic crowd
that ever went on trip in the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Weather Ideal.
The weather was ideal for yacht
ing cruise. There was just enough
wind to send the yachts along under
full SAIL and not enough to make 1t
necessary to have a man at the main
sheet ready to slack off, or to make
Things uncomfortable for the landlub-
oers of the party.

SHERIDAN ON WEDNESDAY.

The United States Army transport
Sheridan is due here about Wednesday,
May IL, from San Francisco, en- route
to the Philippines. If the vessel ar
rives about noon she is likely to re-
main over until the next day, as she
carries the members of Company G,
Engineer Corps, to be stationed at Wal
kiki, and all their baggage. Up to last
night no wireless messages had been
received either from the Sheridan or
the Hilonian, also due on Wednesday
morning. 1t is likely that messages
will be on hand this morning at the
office of the Matson agents, sent by
Captain "Pete" johnson, commander
of the Hilonian, saying that all are
well on board and that the vessel will
dock here at certain hour.

Massasoit died in 1861. His son, Po-

king Philip, was very different

the supposed friendship of the English,
had marked how his own people were
crowded back and despoiled, and he
had foresight enough to realize that 1t
was only matter Of time before the
aborigines should be wholly driven
from their own country. To check this
gradual destruction Philip hit on dar-
ing and thoroughly Indian idea. Sc
cretly he made tour Of all the tribes
from Maine to Connecticut, pointing
out to them the ,depredations Of the
English and urging them to unite In
one general uprising which should rid

William Il. Taft was born to his
famous smile. He didn't have it while in
college. A close friend of his declares
it was formed from reading Kipling, says

Mr.. Taft was very Ill in January, 1902,
when he left Manila on the transport
Grant for San Francisco. While confined
to his stateroom he read Kipling.
"The Naulakha, a Tale of the West and
the East" pleased him most, especially
this verse:
Now 1t is not good for the Christian health to
hustle the Aryan brown,
For the Christian riles and the Aryan smiles and
weareth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight is q tombstone white
and the name of the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear: "a fool lies here who
