DEBTS WIPED
OUT BY CROP

Legislators who visited the Boys In
dustrial School at Waalee yesterday
are sorry now that they did not visit
the school before the appropriation bill
items were SO thoroughly threshed out,
as the general concensus of conclusions
reached yesterday after the visit was
that the school was an admirable one,
deserving of the utmost support from
the Territory,
The education committees of both
houses of the Legislature, accompanied
by other members and persons who are
interested in the school and the well
fare of the inmates officially inspected
the institution, going from Honolulu on
the Halciwa Limited, which was sent
on through to Waialec. Owing to this
fact the band, which was to have met
the Legislators Mt the regular train, were
not in readiness and the solons were on
the grounds and taking look at things
before the band and inmates were
drawn up in review.
However. the catching of the school
unawares served good purpose, for
the legislators were able to see matters
as they were, practically in undress.
| The guests were taken in tow by SUI
perintendent Gibson and every depart
ment and every building was inspected
and the method of instruction, punish
! ment, etc, were gone into in detail.
Some were surprised at the evident fact
of real knowledge of a practical nature
impaired to the boys. Far from being
reform school, merely intended for
| punishment of youths, they found a
school for imparting practical knowl-
edge in trades. best suited to fit the
boys for the battle of life when they
finish their terms. They found that
the boys were learning practical farm
ing, blacksmithing, electrical wiring
etc, carpentering and most of the man
ual trades

ney. who has always evinced interest

prison but a place merely to correct
wrongdoing boys. He spoke of ihe
creation of the band and how it had
risen from practically drum and life
and guitar organization to a regulation
band with full equipment of instru
ments.
Kaleopu, as chairman of the meet
ing, after brief address, called upor
various members to make speeches, Sen
ator Harvey, Senator Mccarthy. Sen

The guests were entertained at {

the guests was the fact that when thu

tural pursuits will be wiped off am

trely by the boys.

There are rumors OF big doings
ahead which viii affect the automo.
bilists of Honolulu very appreciab,y.
Supervisor Kane. who halls from the
other side of Moanalua, is the one re-
puted to be back OF a new ordinance
to be presented to the Board Of SUI
pervisors. regarding speed conditions
and other things relating to honk-
honkers, for the benefit Of his con-
stituents The automobile club has
not taken action as yet, but the mem
bers expect to fight the ordinance
through Supervisor Quinn. Kane's
idea, so far as can be learned, is TO
organize in his district an association
to he known as the Society for the
Suppression of the Speeding Smoke
Wagon" and the ordinance he has Sc
cretly drafted will include these provi-
sions:
l. on discovering an approaching
team the automobiles must stop off
side and cover his machine with a
tarpaulin painted to correspond with
the scenery.
2. In case a horse will not pass an
automobile, Notwithstanding the see
mic tarpaulin, the automobilist will
take the machine to pieces as rapidly
as possible and conceal the parts in
he grass.
8. The speed limit on country roads
will be a secret and the penalty for
violation will be $40 for every mile an
offender is caught going in excess of
1t.
A. In case an automobile causes a
team to run away, the penalty will be
$50 for the first mile. 500 for the sec
ond mile, 5000 for the third mile. ETC..
that the team runs in addition to the
usual damages.
5, Automobiles must be seasonably
painted, that is SO that they will
merge with the pastoral ensemble and
not startle man or animal.
6. Automobiles running on the coun-
try roads at night must send up a
red rocket every mile and wait ten
minutes for the road to clear. They
then may proceed carefully, footing
horns and shooting Roman candles.
I. On approaching corner where
he can not command a view of the
road ahead, the automobilist must stop
not less than one hundred yards from
the turn. toot his horn, ring a. bell, fire
a revolver, halloo, and send up three
aerial bombs at intervals of five min
utes.
s. All members of the society will
devote Sunday to chasing automobiles
shooting and shouting at their occu-
pants, making arrests and otherwise
Encouraging country touring on that
day.
9. In case an automobile approaches
farmers house when the roads are
dusty, 1t will slow down to one mile
an hour and the chauffeur will lay thu
dust in front of the house with hand
sprinkler worked over the dashboard

-
At conference of the special com
mittee Of the Board of Supervisors with
the Mayor yesterday afternoon to con
slider ways aud means TO pay claimants
Of the road department for services
rendered from March to Is inclusive,
the matter was left to committee
consisting of Messrs. Quinn, Mcclellan
and Kane to adjust claims on the basis
of no duplication of pay, and report
at the next regular meeting of the
board

pointees, under the opposing heads of
the department, holding like offices,
those who actually performed labor and
from whom the county receive value,
are to be considered eligible to receive
warrants.

finally with the treasurer, and an ami
cable adjustment of all claims is nee
essary

1t is not likely that the bill will be
passed, but no effort should be spared to
make this certain.
Real Estate Active.
Honolulu real estate continues to be
in demand, principally by Honolulans.
There Is q general disposition now for
everyone to own his own home, and
the number of suburban additions be-
ing plated and put on the market is
an indication of this movement. Kai-
muki and Manoa at this time are in
the highest favor as localities, and in
both sections there is a considerable
amount of residence building under
way.
Hilo has developed a Watch Hilo
Grow" disposition also. 1t is reported
from the Big Island city that two
modern hotels are to be opened there,
principally as result of the plain
talk of prominent tourist, published
in this paper. to which at first the
Hiloites took much exception.
The Brown and Lyon company has
increased its capital from $12500 to
$4,000. The stock is divided a fourth
