WILL TRAIN ROLLER
Olson to Put Big Fellow in
Trim for the Proposed
Gotch Match.
CONTEST HERE WEDNESDAY

Charles Olson. who last summer
was beaten at Seattle by DIR. Roller
and who frankly admits that the Seat
tie physician has something on him,
will train Roller for the proposed
match with Gotch. Olson has already
given his consent.
Olson will be the best man in the
world for such work. for there is not
much about the wrestling game that
the big Swede does not know. He
knows Gotch's style to the detail. He
has met Gotch twice, losing both
times and it was he thai trained
Hackenschmidt in Chicago for the
match that Hack gave up after wrest!-
ing three hours without either getting
a fall. Olson taught Hackenschmidt
how to avoid the toe-hold. Gotch's
most effective grip and the hold with
which he beat Mahmout, the big Turk
last winter.
Olson expects a hard battle with
Coburn Wednesday night in the coli
scum, in the big double wrestling bill,
about the classiest sporting event
that was ever offered Richmond peo.
pie. Tom Medino will face the big
fellow from the Pacific.

EXTRAvAGANCE is ALLEGED

Residents OF Green township are up
in arms against what they declare is
an injustice to the voters of their

GREAT INCREASE
At HIGH SCHOOL
Since 1890 School Has Grown
From 173 Pupils to
Over 400.
GRADE INCREASE SMALL
SUPERINTENDENT MOTT PRE-
PARES STATISTICS REGARDING
PUBLIC SCHOOLS, DATING BACK
TWENTY YEARS.

Superintendent T. A. Mott, of the
public schools, today prepared Stats
les covering the history of the grade
ind high schools OF the city for the
past twenty years aud was rewarded By
discovering that while the schoc; en-
'Ollment had not Increased noticeably
n this period. that however, the high
school attendance had increased from
lib pupils in 1890, to 40 this year.
making a percentage of increase in the
attendance at this school of 100 per
cent.
MI. Mott attributes the marvellous
growth of the high school under the
existing conditions, to the develop
nent of the high school spirit. Fiji
:een n twenty years ago high school
education was considered unnecessary
md, by some. detrimental. However.
since then, the spirit has changed and
aow the largest per cent of the stu
ients upon leaving the grade schools,
are taking up the high school work.
Had to Erect New Building.
AS a result of the increased favor %
he high school in this city, the city is
reaping the benefits. In order to meet
the remarkable increase the school au-
thorities have found it necessary to
construct a new high school building,
with all the modern equipment and in
many ways equipped as we'll as the
best regulated university. Upon the
completion of the building. Mr.. Mott
feels that the high school spirit will be
given even greater incentive than ex-
ists now
That the per cent of increase in the
high school is not responsible for any
other reason than the IN expressed
above, Mr.. Mott showed statistics as
concerns other details of the enroll
mont during this period of time. In
the first place, the increase in the num-
ber of PRISONS of school age in the city
has been but 400.
fAnother example which proves to Mr.
Mott that his version Is correct, Is that
the per cen of Increase in the attend
ance in the grammar schools has been
but sixand a half per cent during the
twenty years. In 1880 the enrolment
in these schools was 2.252 and this year
it was 23S7.

kauai SENATOR
EXPLAINS VIEWS
knudsen Favors Having Joint
Committee on Ap-
preparations.

A sentiment of conservatism and
careful legislation viii be the prevail
ing note in the Legislature this year.
according to the view of Senator Knud-
sen of Kauai, who is now in Honolulu.
one of the advance guard of lawmakers
from the other islands
"Kauai s wants are very modest this
year, said Senator Knudsen yesterday,
1.-THE one essential thing that we need
is more schoolhouses. The number of
children of school age has increased
materially of late and many of them
have to be turned away for lack of
accommodation. A new jail and court,
house is also among our wants, but
aside from these two important matters
we can get along nicely as we are.''
Favors Economy.
Senator Knudsen said he had heard
of Governor Frear s ideas on the neces-
sity of economy in the administration
of the Territorial government and added
that he thought a consolidation of
some of the departments could be car
ried out proftably.
~ believe this Legislature will be
quite conservative, observed the SEN
ator from Kauai, "and I do not think
that there will be any desire to go
beyond the visible revenues of the Ter,
ritory in making the appropriations.
Joint Committee.
"There is one thing that I am EN-.
phatieally in favor of and which [ be.
lieve will simplify legislation and be
a time saver. AS I advocated at the
last Legislature, I am in favor of a joint
committee of the House and the SEN
ate to consider appropriation bills, in.
stead of the bills being taken up first
in the House, then the Senate and fin.
ally to a joint committee. This is a
lengthy process and could be easily OBJ
waited by the bills going first before
a joint committee
Senator Knudsen believes that the
question of finance can be more intelli-
gently considered after hearing the
views of Governor Frear thereon and
that it will be time enough to decide
on matters affecting the Territorial
pocketbook when the Governors mes
sage has been heard and its conclusions
and recommendations in that direction
studied out.

pose the outrageous actions of At
torneyGeneral Hemmenway
From the Magoon Office Build
ing, DIR. and Mrs. Atcherley will
expose the reasons why the Attor-
ney General Hemmenway Mem
Der and legal advisor of Dr. Way
son and the Board of Healthy and
the County Authorities, are so
anxious to get the body of DR..
John Atcherley into the Insane
Asylum through means of foul
play, and kidnapping instead of
doing things and according to
law.
A week ago today, DR.. Peterson
of the Asylum proposed to DR.. At
cherley at that place, that if the
latter quit treating or bothering
about the lepers, and leave the
country, the Authorities would
stop worrying him. DR.. Atcherley
refused to accept any Such prop
ositlon.
On January L, the prosecuting
authorities proposed to Mr.. Thomp-
son, DR.. Atcherley' attorney pro-
tenn that he advise DR.. and Mrs.
Atcherley to leave the country on
the Alameda of January 20, 1909;
If they agreed to do this, they
would allow Dr. Atcherley to go
home that evening, giving him a
week to pack up and quietly slip
away on the Alameda when she
sailed, and that they would dis
miss the case against the Doc
tor. Had it not been for Mr.. J..
A. Magoou, they might have been
successful in getting DR.. Atcher-
ley and his family out of the
country
DR.. Atcherley was released ac-
cording to law by the Honorable
Judge Robinson of the First Cir
cult court, and he is not an es-
capped lunatic as announced by At
torney General Hemmenway. Ho-
nolulu, February 5. 1909.
Not Crazy, Only Angry.
DIR. Atcherley appeared at one of I'll
windows of his private suite in tt
Magoon offices promptly at half-pa,

with a kerosene lamp, placed on I'll
windowsill as a footlight. The doctc
spoke in conversational tone, har

reviewed his case, which has been disl
ed up ad uauseam during the past thre

insane and stated that he stood as
