NARROWLY ESCAPES
Death FROM BURNING

The house OF Harry +. Dawson. at
Kapahulu, was burned to the ground
yesterday afternoon, and one of the
children had very narrow escape
from an awful death. Mrs. Pierce, a
neighbor, noticed that the house was
on fire, and at once ran over to the
building. She was just in time to res.
cue the children, the last one being
taken out when the whole place was a
mass Of fame.
The parents were in town at the
time of the fire, having left the chill
dren In charge of a japanese servant.
The japanese. wishing to take n trip
to see some friends. left the children
In the servants room. and the baby
in some way got hold of box OF
matches, and set fire to the house.
The fire had attained considerable
Roadway before Mrs. Pierce noticed
the blaze, and II was only with the
greatest of eXertion that she was able
to convey the children to safety. II is
owing to her prompt action that the
children are alive today. The fire
alarm was not turned In as there was
no chance of saving the house, and
there was no danger Of the fire spread
Ing as the house stands by itself and
II not near any other building.

last jury case of the March term of
the Second Circuit Court was heard
last Thursday, when they gave a
verdict against the defendants in the
case OF the Territory VS.. Robello, Pr
res, Kealoha, and Ma Fong of oma-
opio, Makawao, for larceny of cattle
from the Haleakala Ranch Co. G. w.
Ashford aided the prosecution, while
Judge Quarles championed the cause
of the defendants. This was the same
case that resulted in a mistrial dur
ing this term owing to one juryman
remaining until the end for the de-
PENDANTS. At this second hearing the
case was a hard-fought legal battle
between both attorneys, the case last
ing several days, and the arguments
put up will long be remembered by
those who heard them.
Judge Kingsbury sentenced the de-
PENDANTS as follows: Frank Robello
to one years imprisonment at hard
labor, Frank Pires, ten months, Solo
mon Kealoha sentence suspended for
thirteen months, while Ma Fong will
be sent to the Reformatory School.
The defendants will appeal to the Su-
preme Court on exceptions.

SHOOTING At AIEA;
Three men INJURED

Sheriff Jarrett is down at Aiea
plantation looking into the matter OF
three japanese who are reported to
have been shot at that place last
night. 1t appears that Harada, who
is alleged to be one of the bunch of
thugs which was broken up during
Sheriff Iaukea's term of Office, pulled
a gun on some countrymen and shot
down three of them. Harada then
gave himself up to the police, and
the facts OF the matter were tele-
phoned TO Sheriff Jarrett.
One of the victims is shot In the
stomach, another in the hip, and the
third In the knee. The first man is
reported to be in very serious con-
dition. The shooting seems to have
been the result OF n gambling dis
pute in which the three men became
involved. Harada is said to be real
bad man" and one who would stop
at nothing.

Since came to Hawaii | have
been more and more confirmed in the
wisdom and far-sightedness of our
judgment.
Your prosperity is our prosperity.
Your honor our honor. Therefore
We look upon your development with
a friendly interest.
One of your speakers welcomed
me as stranger within your gates.
That is true only fguratively, for

II not only congratulate Hawaii
upon the excellence of her legislative

partments. have studied the his

THE Hawaiian Islands rest here in

will long remember my visit because
of the sweet fragrancy of the flow
ers, but above and beyond that by
the inexpressibly sweet fragrance of
your hospitality.
Some people get impatient with
the members of the Legislature, and
some members get impatient with
themselves. They think they are
slow; that they do not get on fast
enough. The fact is that the Legis-
lature is deliberative body. The
danger is not that well have too few
laws; the danger is that Wen have
too many laws. (Of course I do not
refer to the Hawaiian legislature
The value of legislators service de-
ponds upon the value of the laws he
enacts and the poor laws he does not
enact. A member who at the end OF
| pAgutnn Inag HnI tho
statute books any laws with his own
name need not feel disappointed II
he has stopped the enactment of poor
laws.
"One of the faults of Legislatures
is extravaganza. This evil has insin-
uated itself In public concerns, even
outside the Legislature of the Terri
tory of Hawaii. 1t is a difficult mat
ter for legislator to draw the line
between necessary and unnecessary
expenditures. They are sent by vo-
ters who demand that they bring
back with them some measure of the
public budget. So they sometimes
advocate measures which are unwar-
ranted. .
1T is important to understand
that everything cant be accomplish
ed in a day, or in single legislative
session ! was glad to hear the
President of the Senate say that this
Legislature has confined its expend-
lures nearly within the income. How
nearly, he did not say, but 1t is some
thing to have It approximately with
in. But 1t is better to have the ex-
pendltures entirely within the in
come.

us they are real and serious.
"A little more than ten years have
passed since these Islands were adopt

many changes have been made which
tend to bring our life. social as we'll

tions on the mainland. Our aim is,
through our own Cndeavors and with
the assistance of our great and ex-
perienced friends TO so hasten prog
ress that Hawaii in due time may
reach her ultimate political goal -
Statehood.
Being a Hawaian-American my
self, can assure you, sir. that from
the earliest civilization of the people
of these islands, and right down
through the changing periods Of our
government, a warm heart and a glad
hand have always been extended to

you are in the closing hours of busy

you for your hospitality to me and

me to find words to express our full
appreciation of what you have SO
generously done for us.
1T is with particular pleasure |

COLLEGES FEAR TERMINATION.
Increasing Protortlon Of Women stu,
dents Causes Alarm In Many
Universities.

Every university in the country Is
watching. the university girl darkly.
Let there be no more men in col,
leges," she seems to be saying. Presi.
dents IN their annual reports note with
dign.Rel trepidation the fact that six.
ty per cent. OF their students are now
women, proportion yearly increasing.
A list Of thirteen Western uniyersl.
ties shows the women outnumberiug
the men in seven cases. Minnesota,
Nebraska and California have nearly
twice as many women as men. Stan.
ford has planted Its back fatty against
the wall, like a creature facing pack,
and arbitrarily limited the number Of
women who may enter each year to
five hundred. And Tufts Is asking for
a gift Of two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars that she may segregate
her women and so save nerselft from
becoming woman's college.
AS matter of fact, what the col
lege girl has done is not just what It
seems to be. It is something differ.
ent, less spectacular, with its roots
deeper in the structure OF modern life.
She is certainly not driving men out
OF the coeducational colleges, because
where are they going? Not to mems
colleges. Men increased seventy per
cent. in the coeducational institutichs
between 80 and '9S, and only half as
fast in the mems colleges. Moreover,
it is only in one department OF the
moderlf American university that wo-
men are in the majority, the college OF
liberal arts, In the technical schools
engineering, forestry, agriculture
We find stin some such proportion as
thirty to two thousand.
Men are going more and more into
technical courses, and so are women ;
and the college OF liberal arts has be.
come, in point of fact, a technical
school for women. Teaching is the
cultured occupation which the most
conservative girl may enter with self.
respect, and two-tnlrds OF the girls in
colleges are preparing to teach Ex
cept in the few universities which of.
fer pedagogy, the college of liberal
arts is the only preparation they can
find. As soon as more professions
open to women, and universities pre-.
pare for them, this congestion in the
teaching profession and the college OF
liberal arts will cease.-Madgs c. Jen,

have already begun the work. Tradi.
ton has It that Oak Island was once
a rendezvous for Captain Kidd and his
band Of pirates. and that his ship,
the Adventurer, often came to anchor
in Malone Bay, where the spoils Of
the English marauders' raids on the
high seas were landed and buried.
Digging for this Oak Island treasure
has gone on at periods for many years
back, but nothing tangible was ever
found. Companies have been formed
to furnish capital for searching work,
and have spent over 100000, 1t is
said, and many individuals have tried
1t, but Invariably the location OF the
treasure, II there be such, was not dis.
closed. Some years ago, a number OF
Halifax men interested themselves in
such a company, but the brilliant pros.
poets failed to materiallze. At one
time an old platform was found some
distance below the surface OF the isl.
and, and this fact gave rise to the hope
that the treasure was close at hand.
But disappointment followed as the
treasure, further than a few old co.ns
was not located. Captain Kidd has
proved Just as good hider as he evi.
