FOUND HUMAN HAND
COATED WITH CORAL

While A. G. Derse, practising at
torney of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, was
walking along the beach in the Kaka-
ako district the other day he picked
up piece of coral of peculiar forma-
tion. Closer examination disclosed a
human hand, petrifed and covered in
part with coral The little finger, it
is the left hand, is missing and may
have been broken off by action of the
waves in forcing it against the lava
or coral All Of the bones in the hand
and the two bones in the forearm are
plainly shown. 1t is in remarkably
good state. Curio dealers express the
opinion that the member has been in
the water for a half century gather
ing the coating which covers the upper
portion of it.

Vandals have started to deface the
Kamehameha memorial tablet, erected
at Nuuanu Pail by the Daughters Of
Hawaii, and unveiled but short time
ago. Some persons, lacking any appar-
ent sense of deeeney, have scratched
their names in the tablet with sharp
rocks, and in other ways endeavored to
deface the memorial as much as posi-
BILE
The memorial tablet reposes in the
back of a niche. cut in the solid rock
at the Pail, and considerable money
was expended in providing the memo
rial. The niche serves not only as
a remembrance of the battle of Nuu-
anu Pail, but is also delightful rest
spot for visitors who wish to sit and
admire the superb grandeur of the Pail
while sheltered from the wind.
People are highly incensed at the ut
ter wantoness of the vandals, and If
any of the offenders can be identified,

One month from today the new con-
vent of the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts
at Kaimuki will be formally opened.
Work on the structure is being rushed
along, and within the next three weeks,
everything will be ready for the in
stallation of the furniture and other
equipment.
The new convent building, which was
erected at cost of something over
$55, 700, is one of the finest, if not ac-
tually the finest, school buildings in the
Territory. 1t is entirely of reinforced
concrete, wholly freproof, is fitted with
the latest type of modern sanitary
plumbing, and is as attractive as skill
and money could make it. It was de-
signed by Architect III. l.. Kerr Of this
city
The erection of the convent was made
possible by the donation of $4,000 by
the late August Dreier. For some tiTae
the Sisters had been planning to erect
new building, but it was not until
they received the Dreier bequest that
they saw their way clear toward under
taking the work
The building, which is 40 by no
feet in size, is located in the center
of 4-acre lot in Kaimuki, The prop
erty cost $4,000 and is beautifully sit
uated. 1t comprises an entire city
block. tt is estimated that the fur
nishings will cost at least $4,000 more,
so the total cost of the plant will be
about $4,000
The building is two stories in height,
with 12foot basement. AS but four
feet of the basement is underground,
this floor is almost as desirable as any
The building is erected on three sides
of a courtyard. with broad lanais Civ
ing access to the different rooms. The

PROF. DEN|NG
To BE ARRESTED
Is Wanted as Witness at Sep
TENDER Term of
Court.

Professor Walter Dening, the learned
scholar and student of the Japanese
language, who was brought to Homo
lulu from Sensi, Japan, to act as spe-
cial translator for the prosecution in
the various trials arising out of the
Japanese plantation strike, is to be ar
rested.
A statement to" this startling effect
was made yesterday afternoon by At
torney j. Lighfoot who is conducting
the defense in the conspiracy trial and
who represents all the other Japanese
arrested as the result of strike incl
dents. But this does not mean that
Professor Dening has committed any
crime or has in any way offended
against the laws of the United States
or the Territory of Hawaii. 1t means
that Mr.. Lightfoot is merely taking
steps to prevent the Professor s return
to Japan on the steamer leaving here
August "a.
Professor Dening, as stated before,
was broght here by the prosecution,
which has promised to remunerate him
for his time and services to the extent
of $4,000, one thousand of which was
added to the original sum promised in
order to hold him here a few weeks
longer. But Mr.. Lightfoot sprang a
surprise on the prosecution by sub
poenaing Professor Dening to be present
at the September term of court, at
which other of the strike trials are
set to take place. He also announces
that he intends to issue a subpoena for
Professor Dening to be present at the
October term of the United States Dis
trict Court, at, which the trial of some
of the japanese is scheduled to take
place.
Professor Dening has arranged to
leave on August "a for Japan, or if
he cannot get away by that time, at
least to go on the steamer sailing Au-
gust 80. Mr. Lightfoot will make that
claim to the court and ask for war.
rant of arrest to hold the Professor
and that he be put under bonds to
insure his appearance when he is
needed.
Whether Mr.. Lightfoot will be able
to hold Professor Dening in this way
is a question for the court to decide.
1t is claimed by the Attorney General
that if the defense retains him here
as an expert, it will have to pay him
an expert s fee or it cannot keep him.
But if he wants him as anything but
an expert witness, the case will be
different and he will have right to
request that the Professor be put under
bonds to appear at the September term
of court
Meantime, Professor Dening is placed
in an awkward position. His school
in Japan is to open on September 70
and it is essential that he be there.
But if he is ordered to be here in court
in September, he has no recourse.

TOURIST TRADE
STILL GROWING
Hotels Report Great Increase
of Business Over Last
Year.

The steady increase in tourist trade
during the past year has more than full
filed the expectations of the Promotion
Committee, and there is every indica-
ton that it would have been even
greater but for the very poor transpor-
tation facilities. AS it is, last year
statistics look very puny compared with
this years showing.
The management of the Moana Hotel
reports that there are now eighty guests
there, whereas there were but eight
at this time last year. Private hotels,
which year ago were but sparsely
filed, now have goodly numbers, and
many of them are taxed to their capa-
city.
Prophecies to the contrary notwith-
standing, there has been little or no
falling off in tourist activity during the
summer months, and the applications
for information at Promotion Commit
tee headquarters have been consider
ably more numerous than is usual dur
ing the busiest part Of the winter sea-
son.
Every mail from the Coast brings
requests for information regarding Ha-
wall, and the inability to secure steam
ship accommodations is all apparently,
that keeps people from flocking here
in even greater numbers. The follow
ing letter, which arrived by the last
mail, is but a specimen of what Secre-
tary Wood is receiving:
fsBritt, Iowa, July 80, 1909.
"H. P. Wood, Secretary, Honolulu, Ha~
wall.
"Dear Sir: Kindly send me your
illustrated folder. I wish to spend a

would like to make some small invest

SOUP KITCHEN
STILL ACTIVE
Seven Hundred Japanese Are
Being Fed There
Daily.

The free soup kitchen of the Higher
Wage Association is still in operation,
on an average of 700 persons being fed
there daily. Many of these found no
jobs awaiting them when they went
back to the plantations, so there was
nothing left for them but to return to
this city.
Many of those who have not been
able to get work on the plantations
which they left, will go to the other
islands the first of the week. This will
cut the patronage of the soup kitchens
down somewhat, but meals will still
be served to the wives of the workers,
or to those who are not able to leave,
