THE BAHAI MOVEMENT.

Editor Advertisement followers of
the Bahai teaching read with interest
the scholarly account of the early days
of the movement which appeared in
your issue of Tuesday, November 30.
To those familiar with this teaching,
however, it was quite evident that the
author had had access only to certain
literature which dealt but imperfectly
with the earliest phase of the teach.
ing. He was writing Of the Babi
movement, which was the forerun-
ner of the Bahai movement, Civ.
ing the impression to the read
er that the latter was subordinate to,
and an outgrowth from, the former;
whereas those who have kept in touch
| with the matter know that the Bahai
movement is the teaching to which the
Babi movement was but the door.
AS in the early days Christianity was
for time misunderstood and supposed
to be a Jewish sect, so in the early
days of the present day movement, it
was misunderstood and supposed by
many to be a sect of Islam. Such was
the view taken by Count de Gobineau
and Prof. Z. G. Browne who wrote
histories of the Babi movement. By
them the spirit of the teaching was
not understood.
AS the writer of the said article
seems only to have had access to the
writings of these two early historians,
it is pot surprising that he should have
incorporated in his article some of their
mistakes. For example he states that
the teaching is pantheistic, that it
teaches of the absorption of the right
eous into the Godhead, and of the
humiliation of the wicked.
These are misconceptions. AS Chris
tianity spread and proved itself tc
be for the whole world, so has the
Bahai movement proved itself uni
versal. No one, upon studying its
teachings, would recognize it as being
other than world movement. The
fact that it is uniting in one faitf
Christians, Jews, Moslems, Zoroaster
ians, Buddhists and Brahmans proves
its universally.
In the article in question mention
was made of a Bahai " Mosque to bt

WILL DESCRIBE
HALLEY'S COMET

The merchants and business men of
the city will rest awhile tomorrow at
the commercial club and listen TO the
tale of the tail and the other things
appertaining to and a part of HALEY IS
comet, which will be visible here in
January. Professor Gilmore, of the
College of Hawaii, will give lecture
at noon on the history and peculiarties
of the great wanderer
This was decided at a meeting of the
board of governors of the commercial
club yesterday and was direct result
of the action of the Kaimuki Improve
ment Club in advocating campaign to
raise funds to build an observatory and
naming a committee to carry on the
work.
The building, where will be housed
the instruments at present belonging TO
the College of Hawaii and at present
useless will be rushed to completion
as soon as the necessary money is raised
and it is thought that it will be ready
by the time the comet is visible TO
the naked eye.

Five thousand dollars is the amount
which the directors of the Kaimuki,
Palolo and Waialae Improvement Club
committee will endeavor to raise for
the construction of a permanent rein
forced concrete structure on Telegraph
Hill in which to install the eight-foot
telescope of the College of Hawaii.
This was decided upon at the annual
meeting of the club which was held
last night at the residence of A. +.
Cooke Kaimuki. That the directors
intend to make rush canvass is in
dicated by the desire of President Gil
more of the College of Hawaii, to have
the telescope mounted and in readiness
to observe Halley's comet which is du,
to be visible the latter part of Janu
airy. A committee consisting of E. A

AND THE CASE GOES To THE GRAND JURY
sheriff Satisfied From Statements Made to Him. That Lea Not
One Fit to Hold ofce-Evdence in Hands Of City Attorney

Leal offered to go into the business
of protecting vice.
Leal was notified by the sheriff yes
terday afternoon that he need consider
himself no longer connected with the
police department. He was instructed
to turn in all police property he might
have by this morning Leal notified
the sheriff that his dismissal would be
aired in the papers.
Sheriff Jarrett is now looking for a
capable man to place in the office of
chief of detectives. He has good
man in sight but is not certain as yet
whether he is available or not. Until
he has made his selection he will not
give out any information as to Leal Is
probable successor.
There will be change hereafter in
the detective department, inasmuch as
the chief will not in future have tn,
absolute run of the department, being
under and personally responsible t.
Deputy Sheriff Rose.
1t is unlikely that there will be any
further dismissals from the detectiv,
force, Leal' IS appointees having al
ready been pretty well weeded out ant
some of the men dismissed by Lea
reappointed.

(From Wednesday advernssr.)

Yesterday, Joe Leal, chief of de-
tectives, who has been under suspen.
sion since his return from the Coast,
was dismissed from the police service
by Sheriff Jarrett. The sheriff has
been investigating certain charges
against the officer and has become con-
WINGED that Leal is not the one he
wishes to retain in position of trust
or on the force in any capacity.
This morning the county attorney
will present the charges against Leal to
the grand jury, the sheriff yesterday
having turned over to the prosecuting
branch of the city's government the
evidence in his possession. This evi
dence charges Leal with having so
licited and accepted brides and husl
money from certain professional gam
blers; with having agreed to shield
them in their fleeing of the suckers
in the game, and with having agreed
to warn them of any police activit.

NOTICE OF
WAR
Nicaraguan Charge d'Affaires
Handed His Passports
by Knox.
zELAYA BITTERLY DENOUNCED
Called International Brigand, and
Notified That America Holds
Him Responsible.
BITTERLY DENOUNCED
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, December 2.-Felipe
Rodriguez, the Nicaraguan charge d 'af-
flares here, has been given his pass
ports accompanied with letter from
Secretary of State Knox scathingly do
nonncing the Zelayan administration.
Secretary Knox, in this letter, brand
ed President Zelaya of Nicaragua rs a
violator of all international conven-
tions, disturber of national and inter
national peace, tyrant and an inter
national brigand, whom the United
States holds personally responsible for
the men who are responsible for the
torture and execution of Grace and
Cannon, the two American colonies of
the revolutionary army, who were con-
demned to death by n drumhead court.
President Zelaya indicated broadly
enough, recently, that the execution OF
Grace and Cannon is not subject for
the discussion Of indemnity nor
apology.
The state department and the Presi-
dent have replied, notwithstanding
Zelaya' s attitude, "that such treatment
of American citizens can not be toler-
ated for a moment" What Zelaya will
do when he receives the ultimatum is
problematic, but his course has been
such as to indicate that he will not
yield except to force. The dramatic
| aspect of the punitive expedition
against President Zalaya for his insults
to the United States was furnished by
President Taft IS order for marines to
be dispatched to Corinto. This in it
self is perilously near an act of war.
In fact negotiations with Zelaya were
closed when, according to his message
to the United States, he said that Leroy
Grace and Leonard Cannon were execut-
ed in due military style and under the
form of international law. Retaliation
on the part of the United States, may
take the form of seizure of either
Greytown or Corinto, or both.
The United States ship of war
Prairie, carrying marines, will sail for
Panama today. A steamship from New
| York, carrying arms and ammunition
for the revolutionists against the
Nicaragnan government troops, arrived
at Bluefields yesterday.

Hawaii Yacht Club Meets and
Decides to Ask Hebron
to Work.

There was a well attended meeting
of the Hawaii Yacht Club at the Bun
galow last night. The principal matter
under discussion was the transpacifc
yacht race for next year. 1t was unan-
imously decided to work up the race.
Means to this end were discussed and
it was decided to write to every yacht
club on the Coast and ask them if they
can enter one or more yachts in the
race. The place of starting the race
will be decided on later.
A letter was read from the promo
ton committee offering cordial cooper
alton with the yacht club and an an
bwer was ordered sent to the commit.
tee, thanking them for their action and
stating that the yacht club would be
only too glad of the committee IS help.

Tom Hebron is now in San Fran
cisco. He is member of the Hawaii
Yacht Club and he has been written

might well enter the race and would

proper urging.
The matter of financing the race wal

difficulty about this end of it.
