Sitting in his office, the fair asso

what lengths the advance men had

he took it in dead earnest, and was
preparing to summon Gregg and Mo
Galley for witnesses.
Half an hour later Kaufman and
Johnson met near the city hail. But
they didn't mix. Johnson walked
around behind Jake, and proceeded to
tell him what his opinions on the sub
ject were, being careful not to take
the dangerous position in front. "Well." y

AWFUL ASSAULT ON
WEST MAIN STREET
Thorouehfare Is Bearing Up We'll I'm.
der Its Injuries, However-Three
Badly Injured.

Intense excitement prevailed this
morning when the report of an awful
assault on West Main street was cir
Culated, and until investigated by
couple of over-Zealous newspapermen,
the one strange feature of the cpl
sOde was the fact that the police had
heard nothing of it. 1t was almost
scandal, in that some of the represen-
t. tive citizens of the burg were i'm
I;icated; but when sifted down to
fine point, it was found that only Jake
Kaufman, Bert Gregg and Walter Nc
Galley were guilty, with Secretary
Robert H. Johnson, David Morris and
Frank Lake as the injured parties.
Jake Kaufman, as is well known, Is
one of the most active members of the
local lodge of Elks, even though he is
exceptionally well-proportioned, and it
is also we'll known that he is working
to secure .sontrol of big show which
is booked for this city, in order to
have the performance given under the
auspices Of the local order. This mere
l.; by way of explanation.
Secretary Johnson, of the fair asso-
citation, is also lodge man, but his
tendency runs more to the benefit Of
the association, and he has secured
the Parker Amusement company as an
attraction here next week, the show
t. be distantly connected with the as
ISOLATION. This also by way of expla-
nation.
Dave Morris and Frank Lake are In
the city this week making arrange
ments for the coming of their amuse-
ment companies. They were this morn
ing informed that Kaufman was
! knocking" their production, and
forthwith went to the coal and wood
| Office, where they protested against
the disparaging remarks. I've got a
better show than you fellows ever
thought of having Jake is said to
have returned. and upon the contra
diction of that statement, the report
to Secretary Johnson was to the eff
| feet that there was a sound as of
breaking glass, and a drop in the price

ACTION
SAVES CHURCH
BURNING TISSUE PAPER STARTS
CONFEDERATION THAT
THREATEN EDlFIcE
Quick Work on Part Of Pastor and
Others Puts Out Blaze and
Averts Danger.

Burning tissue paper on the walls OF
the auditorium of the United Brethren
church, Howard and Juniper streets,
last night for a time threatened the
building and caused painful burns on
the hands of the pastor, Rev. j. b.
Bail, who extinguished the flames. The
paper became ignited from the heat
of large kerosene lamp just before
the opening of the evening service,
and had it not been for the prompt
work of Rev. j. B. Ball, Miss Florence
Gallagher organist, and her brother,
Eugene Gallagher and ]. ID. Barnes,
the flames would have gained Roadway
and the new building would have been
at least partially destroyed.
The lamp hung on the wall just
back of where the choir members
have their places, and below long
festoon of colored tissue paper used
for decorative purposes. Heat from
the lamp ignited the paper soon after
being lighted In stantly the flames
spread along the wall, and though
Rev Ball and Miss Gallagher and her
brother Eugene, who were in the room
at the time, rushed to tear the paper
down, the flames travelled faster than
it was possible for them to act.
With the long blazing festoons OF
paper on the floor the situation was
no less dangerous for a time, for the
carpet began burning wherever the
flames touched J. d. Barnes, who
lives near the church, saw the in
terror Of the church lighted by the
flames and rushed in to help. With
his assistance the fire was finally ex-
tinguished. AS water was not to be
obtained quickly, it was necessary to
tramp the flames out.

To ABOLISH ELECTIVE
DEPUTY SHERIFFsH|Ps

1t has been intimated that one of
the bills to be introduced into the
House this week will be one TO do
away with the election of deputy sher-
ifs, making them appointees of the
Sheriff of each county. 1t is contend
ed that as long as the deputy sheritfs
are to be subordinate to and response
BILE to the Sheriff they should be nomi-
mated by him and so appointed that
he may remove them for cause with
out having to secure an impeachment
before the Board of Supervisors.
If this bill passes it viii mean the
throwing out of the present bill TO
create confusion in police affairs by
giving the deputy sheriffs the right to
appoint the police officers serving under
them, the men to be approved of by
the Sheriff, or, if his approval IS
withheld, by the Board of Supervisors.
This bill would extend petty politics
still further into the police forces of
the counties and under such conditions
as prevail at present in Oahu would
thoroughly disorganize the country po-
lice force.
The tendency of the present Legis-
lature seems to be to give the Sher-
ifs more extended powers and limit
the powers of the deputies. Under the
bills introduced into the House yes
terday, the Sheriffs are made wardens
of the county jails and placed in
charge of all convicted persons not
committed to the Territorial peniten-
tiary.

CONSUL WILL TAKE 4
CENSUS Of JAPANESE

A systematic plan is being formu-
lated by japanese Consul General
Uyeno for a census of japanese sub
jects in the Territory. A correct esti-
mate of the number of japanese in
the Islands is expected TO be secured
and is considered by the Consul Gen
eral as the first step in considering in
diligently the problems that affect his
countrymen in Hawaii.
The assistance of an intelligent jap
anese will be secured on each of the
sugar plantations and every effort will
be made to assure the accuracy of the
figures accepted as final The men
called upon for assistance in the work
will be impressed with the necessity
of including every subject of the Mi
kado in the district that is allotted to
them, and in this way it is hoped TO
make the census as nearly correct as
possible.

OOUTH|TT HAS
SUPPORT Of
HOUSE
Resolution in Favor Of
the COastWise Relief
Easily Passed.

The Senate handed down its official
opinion yesterday on the rumor of gov
eminent by commission, and although
1t amended the form of the resolution
adopted by the House of Representa-
tives, it states in emphatic terms as
detrimental to the best interests of
Hawaii the "advoeaey Of a govern
ment by commission in place of the
present form of Territorial govern
znent'
Senator Chillingworth introduced
two bills, and one of the measures at
least has possibilities in the way of
complications. The bill states "that
whenever the National Guard or any
part thereof is in active service, or is
called into active service, no civic or
ganization or member thereof shall pa
rade or appear in uniform in the To-
cality where said National Guard is
in service.
The measure is very specific in its
provisions, and if it becomes law
should certainly prevent the members
of the National Guard from being both
cred by any misguided uniformed Ell
villains VINO like to drop around for a
visit. It's constitutionaiity is another
matter.
The other bill introduced by Chill
1ingworth yesterday provides for a
penalty for anyone organizing mill
tary company or engaging in military
drill without direct authorization from
the Governor of the Territory.
A substitute amended divorce law
submitted by the Judiciary Committee
passed its second reading in the Sen
ate. and in all probability will go
through without opposition. Senator
Knndsen stated that it will do away
with Objectionable features of the
present law in preventing haste in Sc
curing divorces, as it provides that
ing of complaint before court pro-
ceedings, and fixes one year as the
minimum time of absolute desertion
necessary to secure divorce.
A resolution calling upon Congress
to relieve the transportation pilikias
of the Territory by passing a ship
subsidy measure and suspending the
eoastwise laws as regard passenger
traffic in the meanwhile was introduced
into the House yesterday and passed
without opposition. Representative
Douthitt presented the resolution.

matters dealt with in the House yes

No man has been better known to
the racing game throughout the length
and breadth of the country than E. ].
(Lucky) Baldwin. More than 80 years
of age, the man who has bred many
famous horses, and the originator Of the
Santa Anita track near Los Angeles,
has followed the racing game practical
" all of his life, and has been one of
the most picturesque and notable char
acters of the turf.
Baldwin was born on farm six
miles outside Of Hamilton, Illinois,
where his father s interests were such
that the young Baldwin had plenty of
opportunity TO indulge in his taste for
fine horses. Finally the Baldwin fam
ily moved into Indiana. In Racine,
Wisconsin. which was the next home
of Baldwin, he was engaged in the
merchandise business. but in 1858 it
was that he landed in San Francisco.
His first start, with what money he
had saved up, was in the hotel business,

The Board of Supervisors are de-
teFnined to exercise the appointing
power, Notwithstanding the Supreme
Court decided yesterday, in SO many
words, that they did not have anv.
Upon the decision of the Supreme
Court yesterday morning that the
Mayor had the power, under the mu-
nicipal act, to appoint heads of de
partments, John H. Wilson, whom the
Mayor appointed head of the road de-
partment, made demand on T. P. Cum
minis, the appointee of the road com
naittee, for the road department prop
erty. Cummins refused to give. up
possession or to yield anything to VIII
son, saying he had been instructed by
the members of the road committee to
remain where he was, holding posses
sion of the road department and its
property.
Wilson asked him whether these or
ders were given before the decision of
the Supreme Court was rendered or
afterwards He replied that it was
afterwards, and gave the name of Su-
pervisor AHA as one of those who had
given him these instructions.
Wilson suggested to him that he
had better consider such action pretty
carefully, as it might be contempt of
court, and said that he would make
another demand this morning.
According to what the Supervisors
say, their plan is to keep their ap-
pointees in possession of the road de-
partment, and to rush through the Leg
islature an amendment to the munich
pal act legalizing their action. Al
ready there has been much talk of
an enabling act to enable them to pay
their appointees, whom the Supreme
: 'ottt said they had no right to ap.
apoint and who had no legal claim for
salaries 1t is also planned to have
the enabling act include salaries for
these, after the decision by the SUI
preme Court, as well as before it.

How Hawaii can take a part in the
great national question of the conser-
vatlon of natural resources, the ques-
ton now leading all other American
questions in Importance, was told the
members of the Legislature yesterday
at the joint meeting held in the House
by the members of that body, the SEN
ators and large number of promi-
nent citizens. Governor Frear, Judge
Dole, Territorial Forester Hosmer, Sem
ator w. O. Smith and DIR. Jared G..
Smith We're the speakers, while in at
tendance at the meeting were the
other members of the Hawaiian con-
servation committee, Messrs. A. Cart
ley and W. F. Dillingham;. In the audi
enee were Ex-Governor Carter, DR.. Gil
more, Gerrit Wilder and others inter-
ested in Territorial matters.
Speaker Holstein gave up his seat
to Representative Shingle for the oc-
casion, Mr.. Single presiding over the
meeting and introducing the various
speakers.
Governor Frear was the first one
called upon, who prefaced his address
by tribute to President Roosevelt.
to whose daring, energy and rectitude
the movement had been organized until
it was today the greatest question in
the United States, question and
movement that will probably be re-
garded as the greatest in the Roose-
welt administration. The Governor re-
viewed the events leading up to the
calling of the Convention of Govern
ors, the discoveries of the commission
ers investigating the methods of de-
veloping the inland waterways to
open up new avenues of transportation
for the products of the farm. This
commission had found that the forests
were being wasted, the mines becoming
exhausted and the land losing its fer
tility. In consequence the national
gathering was called by the President
and national conservation committee
appointed, with other committees in
each State and Territory. Last month
Canada and Mexico had been invited
to an international conference on the
same questions, and now the President
was planning world s convention.
In smaller way, Hawaii faced prob
lens as the rest of the country, but
of different nature. Congress was
looking after the harbors, having
planned to create one on each island,
including Molokai, and another on the
Kona side of Hawaii. Congress was
also planning fish hatchery here to
stock Hawaiian waters, and was help,
ing in the questions of forestry and
photographic surveys. But Hawaii
had to do her share, because Congress
only helped those States who helped
themselves.
Hawaii had land question to solve
and with the extension of irrigation
works could reclaim a hundred thou
sand acres of the best land now use

lem of what best to raise on this land
