ceived a cable this morning telling of
the death of lbs father, eX-U. S. Sem

The deceased was 81 years of age, but
his death was unexpected and the news

BIG THINGS COMING.

They are planning big things in a
military way for Hawaii Acting Gov
ernor Mott-Smith said in orally con-
densing for the press the Governors
letters today. Governor Frear has
been in conference with several of the
military officials, but of course the ma
ture of the communications is confiden,
tial."
To his amendment of the Organic
Act giving the Governor power to re-
move high officials of the Territory
that is those of whom he has the ap-
pointment with the approval of the
Senate, Governor Frear in Washing
ton has had an amendment added
which gives the officers a fighting
chance to retain their positions.
AS it now stands the bill provides
that the Governor may remove from
Office any incumbent thereof only after
notice and an opportunity TO be heard.
In his letters to Acting Governor
Mott-Smith the Governor, besides the
foregoing, tells of a change he has
made in the amendment to the Or
ganic Act providing that certain laws
included in the report of a Federal
Code Commission shall not be appli-
cable to Hawaii.
The change is merely to introduce
the statutes in question instead of the
Code Commission references. These
status were enacted purely with refer
enee to the territories of Arizona and
New Mexico, and the amendment is
to avoid all CONSERVATION that would
make them apply to Hawaii
Another aendment to the land law
sections which the governor has had
inserted since the hearing given him
by the Committee on Pacific Islands
and Porto Rico is important. 1t pro-
vides that public lands may be DIS
posed of by the Land Commissioner,
with the approval of the Governor,
after public notice of not less than
thirty days in a newspaper of general
circulation. In the original the pro-
vision was for notice simply.

GEM THEATRE.

This weeks program at the Gem
promises to keep up with the last few
weeks program. The Gem evidently
wants to keep a good thing up as their
performances in the past few weeks
were of very entertaining kind and
this week fully compares with these.
This is just what the people of Homo
lulu want, changes often and always
the next better than the last.
This weeks program comprises
many comical films TO cheer up the
population in the gloomy weather.

KALIHI WORK MAY
NOW co AHEAD

DR.. Brinckerhoff, in charge OF the
Federal Leprosarium on Molokai, has
been instructed by Surgeon General
Wyman that he can go right ahead now
with his investigations at Kalihi. He
will therefore go into the quarters pro-
vided for that purpose by the Board
of Health as soon as possible.
A letter has peen received by Cover
nor Frear at Washington from Sur
geon General Wyman, ruling that no
part of the appropriation for the Lee
prUsarium can be used for building
purposes at Kalihi, but only for in
vestigatings in the quarters furnished

Under date of December n Govern
or Frear informs Acting Governor

BENEFIT PERFORMANCE

promises to be a big success. Those
in charge have arranged a program
that is very attractive, both in a musi-
cal and dramatic way, and already are
assured of a good house. There will

legislate on this subject because of
the dangers. 1t might be that they
would open the way for aliens to ac-
quire lands; it. might be that they
would open the way for corporations
to acquire the lands; it might be that
they would open the way for corpora
lions to acquire them, and it was
thought safer to retain the power in
Congress, and am inclined to think it
would be safer still to keep it there.
The Chairman. That is the point.
was in the Senate when we adopted the
organic law for Hawaii and l am
familiar with the sentiment that led
us to legislate to retain control of the
lands. But / was asking you what is
your opinion now, in view of eight
years of experience, whether you
would have us still keep that control
hnrn ar turn ii over to the local legis-
lature.
Governor Frear-I am inclined to
think that we are not quite ready
for that authority.
Senator Flint-Is it possible now
under the laws of Hawaii to acquire
land without residing on it?
Governor Frear.-It is, but not UNI
der the prescribed homestead methods
of taking land. But the laws are SC
loose in their provisions that a per-
son may acquire land without residing
on it to any great extent. For ms
| lance, he might spend his Sundays or
it for a couple of years and he would
be very apt to get his land under the
| decision of the territorial supreme
court. There are natives in differen
portions of the islands who have LIVED
all their lives on a half acre or acre
and they are liable to be dispossesseC
at any time This would enable then
to purchase their homes. Similar ac
ton has been taken by Congress,
be ieve. in the case of some lands OF
the mainland.

Miss Daisy Ruby Attempts Suicide at
Ames-May Recover.

Ames, Sept. 21.-Apparently discour-
aged with life and thinking herself I'M
able to meet financial troubles, Miss
Daisy Ruby tried to commit suicide by
drinking carbolic acid. Miss Ruby
Games to Ames a stranger short
time ago and was living with her sis
ter and brother-in-la people by the
name of Bailey. She found employ
ment in the Tilden pennant factory,
where she had been working. She de-
.cided to quit work early and as she
was leaving the factory she remarked
to another, Il have more trouble than
any other girl living" Earlier in the
day she spoke Of financial troubles,
and it is believed she referred to them
in the above speech, altho it is claimed
by some that the cause Of her attempt
to commit suicide was over a love af-
fair. Miss Ruby went directly to their
rooms and. evidently took the acid i'm
mediatelyj About an hour later, anoth-
er sister who is working in the fac
tory, also went to the room and found
Daisy moaning and in great pain She
called a physician, who relieved Miss
Ruby in her pain and now she has one
chance in hundred to get we'll She
spilled the acid on her face, and if
she gets WELL probably will be disf1g-
Iured

Lemars, Sept. 21.-while the night
police were making their rounds at 8
o'clock in the morning, burglars in the
rear of the postoffice opened fire on
them, and a shower of shots were ex-
changed. Nobody was hurt and the
robbers escaped. They had sawed a
hole in the postoffice door,
An attempt to burglarize the bank at
Oyens, six miles east Of here, was also
made. The robbers blew the combina-

the explosion broke the inside doors of
the building. The inner doors Of the
vault were damned and the burglars
