2. A communication from the De-
partment of Public Instruction, dated
July 10, 1909, informs the Board of
Supervisors that, "at a meeting of the
Commissioners of Public Instruction,
held July II, 1909, resolution was
passed requesting the several counties
to furnish requisition blanks to the
principals of schools in their counties
and asking the principals to make
acquisitions to the counties direct for
supplies to be furnished by them and
to forward copies of such acquisitions
to the Commission of Public Instruc-
ton of their county,
On this resolution, so communicated,
we wish to report:
That the word "supplies' is too
comprehensive, as the Department of
Education has been granted $4,000 a
year for supplies'' and cognate OBJ
jects, in one item, showing that the
Legislature did not intend that the
counties were to furnish ordinary school
supplies.
Moreover, the education Office sells
school supplies for cash, the proceeds
going into the Territrial Treasury, and
it would be impossible for the coun-
ties to take over this traffic without
specific legislation.
What the Legislature transferred to
the City and County of Honolulu of
the powers of the Board of Education
is contained in the following provisions
of Act 101 of the Session Laws of 1909:
ITO build, rebuild, equip, maintain
and regulate = schoolhouses 4
1t shall be the duty of the Board to
provide for the maintenance and re-
pair of all existing schoolhouses other
than the Normal School and the Boys
and Girls Industrial Schools"
There are here the power to "build"
and the duty to "provide for the main
tenance and repair of sehoolhouses.
1t does not require legal opinion to
see, therefore, that any school supplies
which the city and county is obliged to
furnish must be confined 10 such arti-
cies as may be necessary to keep the
schoolhouses in habitable and sanitary
condition, sueh as brooms, buckets,
mops, etc
While II is quite legitimate no doubt
for the city and county also to attend
to the care of school grounds, it is real

] License Inspector Fennen has started
a private crusade against gay and fes-
tive picnickers who dispense spirituous
liquor without first going through the
formality of securing license. One
Portuguese society has already fallen
under the ban, and some of the mem
bers will have to explain in court how
/ it all came about.
The society in question gave picnic
down ON the peninsula On July 81 and,
according to Fennell, booze flowed like
unto water. In fact, so freely did it
flow, that on the return trip some of
the party are alleged to have become
rather unruly and it is claimed that
the cars of the O. R. & L. Company
suffered no little designation in con-
sequence.
The matter came to the attention of
Fenneli, who at once started an in
vestigation. He is very jealous of the
dignity of the law, and when he found
that beer tickets, each good for one
drink, had been sold at the rate of
twelve for 81, he began to take notice.
The notice-taking, says he, resulted in
the discovery that the picnickers had
maintained a very husky blind pig.
In consequence of all this, complaints
were last night sworn to against one
Gonsalva, wagon driver for the Para
gon Market, and young man named
Cambria who drives for the People s
Express. There are four separate
charges against each of the men, and
Fennell says that he has witnesses to
substantiate all of his allegations.
Both of these cases will be prescott
| ed to the bitter end, as Fennell is de-
termined that these organizations shall
learn that they have to obey the liquor
laws Just the same as any one else.
sampan License Case.
Monatolani, a japanese sampan skip
per was arrested on a charge of fishing
without license. The authorities have
had bit of trouble collecting the fish
ing boat licenses, and have concluded
to make an example of an offender or
two. The case may prove interesting
before it is disposed of.
It seems that the japanese Fisheries,
Ltd, has some doubts concerning the
constitutionality of the law taxing sam
pans. According to the police, the at
torney for the fishing company has an
nounced that an appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court, should Monato-
lani be found guilty, in order to test
the validity of the law.
Celebrated Too Freely.
A few soldier men from the Sheridan
celebrated not wisely but too well last
night and fell into the hands of the
police. As the transport is so soon to
sail, the men proved something of an
embarrassment and were booked with
big question mark after each name.
They will probably be returned to the
transport when it sails today.

Alrny Within His Rights.

John Efnger, proprietor of the
Guide, the old established waterfront
daily, recently preferred charges
against Admiral Amy in Washington,
on account of the latter running an
opposition paper, the Pathfinder. The
Washington authorities looked into
the matter and decided that Mr.. Eff
fingers charges were unfounded.
Mr.. Efinger charged that Mr.. Amy
was using his official position as Unit
ed States Shipping Commissioner, to
make money on the side and to drive
the Guide out of business. In reply to
these charges the acting secretary at
Washington stated that he had looked
in to the matter and decided that Mr..
Amy was quite within his rights and
would be quite ready to supply in
formation TO the Guide or to any other
paper. Mr.. Efinger has dropped the
subject.

ing bill will be The Rose of the Rancho"
This play win be given for the first time In
Omaha at the opening performance at the
Boyd Sunday matinee, May 16. The piece
has just closed a specially successful en-
gagement at the Auditorium theater in
Kansas City, where 1t was the greatest
production OF a long season made notable
by many OF the best productions which
Manager Woodward has ever made. Sew
eral of these productions AVE been Sc
lected for the Omaha engagement, among

Mary Ann, - 'The College Widow" Brown

Morrison. another favorite, will be the
leading man. Other members OF a specially
competent company will be Frank DENT

"The Rose OF the Rancho is a powerful
emotional and pictorial drama Of southern
California by David Belasco, telling ar
interesting story and enlivened with SONS
of the most exquisite humor which Mt
Belasco has contributed TO the literatur,
OF the stage, The play is in three acts
each strikingly different from the otheI
and constituting a trio Of beautiful stag
pictures. The play Is founded on ineideht
which occurred az the time california wal
oeded to the United States as a result o
the Mexican war. It Is based on historical
events and persons who actually lived ant

just defeated them in a bloody war shortly
before the period of the play. The gov
eminent passed a law requiring the new
citizens TO register their lands with this
government, but before peace was finally
brought to the dreamy 'land of tomorrow
a great many regrettable crimes and OPP
pressions were committed by INSCRIPTIONS
Americans. A series of these spoliations
furnishes the basis fol the more dramatic
episodes of The Roe of the Rancho"
The first act takes place In the garden
Of an old Spanish mission in San Juan.
Keainey, e young American official, has
been in the vicinity for a couple of weeks
trying to suppress the lawless American
adventures and to prevent crimes against
the stubborn and proud Mexican citizens Of
the country. J~uanita, the daughter of
Sonora Kenton, whose father was an Amer
lean. is betrothed by her mother TO Don
Luis. a fop from Monterey, but Juanita
has fallen in love with Kearney. The good
priest. Padre Antonio, takes the girl gently
to task for opposing her mothers wishes
and both Don Luis and Kearney press
their suit for the girls hand. The whole
first act is full of delightful comedy, clos
ing with Juanita throwing a geranium, a
symbol of love, to Kearney, and rejecting
the suit OF Don Luis.
The second act opens with a fete in
honor of the bethrothal of Juanita and
Don Louis. This stage picture is beautiful
in the extreme and is typical of the gor-
geous land of Mexico. J%uanita, however,
at a solemn moment of the ceremonies,
refuses to become bethrothed to Don Luis
and declares her love for Kearney. At this
time Kincaid, an American adventurer who
seeks to get possession of the Kenton
ranch, appears to Gust the people who
own It. Kearney comes with him to pro-
tect Juanita and her family, but the girl
believes he is in league with the plunderers
and he is unable to undeceive her while
Kincaid is present. There is a tremen-
dously powcv N scene, closing with Juanita
being force, . listen to Kearney's eX-
PLANTATION, " = is that he has sent a
messenger 10 sister the lands and save
them to the --r7t0ns. Kincaid, believing
that Kearney on his side, agrees to
wait until II ing before driving the
owners out. -..e third act takes place
on the housetop Of the rancho, where the
members Of the family have taken refuge
from the drunken gang of Kincaid. Kear-
ney is ~anxiously awaiting the return OF
his messenger with the register documents
He appears at the critical moment and the
situation is saved, Kincaid is Outwitted and
Kearney and Juanita are united, Don Luis
gracefully yielding to his rival.
Miss Eva Lang will be seen in the role
of Juanita, Mr., Morrison will be the Kear'
ney, Mr.. Denithorne will be Don Luis
Mr.. Davis will be Kincaid. Miss Hudson
will be the Sonora Kenton, Mr.. Lindholn
the priest, Mr., Dudley the Lieutenant
Harkins and Miss Vaders the venerabi,

In her new play, SHAM Henrietta
Crosman has scored one of the genuine
and most emphatic successes of the season
in New York. The first presentation Of
sham in Manhattan was made March
q and it has been performed at Wallack's
nearly fifty times. Its reception by the
New York critics and the interest it has
aroused among all classes of play-goers
indicates that IL will be an important fea-
ture of Broadway's amusement program
for many weeks. In Sham" Miss Cros-
man appears as Katherine Van Ripper, a
young woman member of New York's
exclusive social set. Upon the death of her
father she is left with a finely assorted lot
of luxurious tastes and an income of only
500 a month with which to crafty them.
To support the exalted social position
which belongs to one of her family she
becomes a society CRATER and her resource
fulness in obtaining the fineries which she

cannot afford without paying for them
marks her as a genius. Eventually there
comes into her life a man who makes her
practices seem despicable, but by that
time her debts have grown into a tidal
wave of responsibilities which threatens to
engulf her. Her victory over the conditions
thus created is the climax to as interesting
a story as has been told on the stage in
a long while. Miss Crosman's perform
ance of Katherine Van Ripper Is unque
tionably one of the most notable trtumphs
of her professional career. Her portrayal
emphasizes her right to be called the pre-
mier of American condolences.
Miss Crosman is very we'll remembered
in Omaha, her father, Major Crosman,
having been stationed here in connection
with the headquarters staff of the Depart
ment OF the Missouri. She attended the
Omaha public schools, and many of her
former schoolmates still have their homes
here.

the line, blue Jeans will never wear OUT
he was applying It to Joseph Arthur's ia
nous pastoral drama, BLUE Jeans which
is to open a weeks engagement at the Bur
wood theater starting this afternoon. That
he wrote truly is shown by the continued
interest in this drama, which was the first
to Introduce a real sawmill on the stage.
The plot is laid back in Indiana in the
little village of Rising Sun. Much of the
action has to do with the local political
strife between Perry Bascom Ito be played
by Mr.. Cray and Ben Boone (Mr. Todd.
The play introduces many typical Indiana
characters, also the Rising Sun Roarers, a
rural brass band OF campaign times. The
return from the barbecue with the steam
ing, roasted carcass of June's pet bullock,
is also a novel scene. Matinees will be
given today, Tuesday, Thursday and satur-

To follow BLUE jeans the Burwood com
pany will present The Girl From out
