with small perforations on all sides,
operated to abstract the water by
centrifugal force. The clothes ARE

ready for starching, pressing, gloss

perfectly clean, having gone through

The fact that Lafayette possesses
a first class laundry and dyeing estab-
lishment may not be known to many
citizens, and The Advertiser man con-
fesses to his establishment when a
few days since he entered a large
building nea the depot and found in
full blast the Lafayette Steam Laun-
dry and Dye Works, employing in all
a force of eight laborers. The ma
chinery in motion the activity and sys-
tenn that was apparent at a glance
presented a revelation as pleasing as
it was surprising. Through the
courtesy of Managers E. F. and Ar
thur Cunningham the reporter was
shown through the various processes
of washing, drying, cleaning, ironing
polishing and CLOSING, all of which
work is done and those who are
either ignorant Of skeptical should
visit the laundry and see for them
selves. Manager Cunningham will
gladly show visitors over the plant
and explain every process. This
would not only be pleasing and in
%structive, especially to the young peo-
pie, but would serve to call attention to
this worthy local enterprise which
deserves full public appreciation.
Home industry should be fostered
and The Advertiser is glad to say
the Lafayette Laundry enjoys the sub
Stantial support. not Only of the local
community, but of many neighboring
towns. Manager Cunningham re-
ports good business and is entitled to
all that Lafayette can give him.

cHoIcE MISCELLANY
Infant Widow, of ,ndi..


The East Indian papers record a Gu
rious case arising out of the terrible
custom Of infant marriage in that
country. The daughter of Justice Moo
kerjce. learned Hindoo. was married
when she was under ten years OF age,
and she became n widow two months
after the ceremony. Though he could
not resist the early marriage custom
sanctioned by his creed. the judge
stood out against that other custom
which condemns the child widow to
life long misery in her dead husbands
family. and he determined to have her
married again. The husbands rela-
tives claimed and obtained power of
guardianship ever her child, but be-
fore 1t could he exercised the second
marriage had taken place. and there is
to be n legal struggle to determine
precisely how the claims OF the dead
husbands family can be reconciled
with the living husbands rights. The
judges action will have the support
of many Hindoos who are eager to
break down Il custom that condemns
thousands-of young girls to life that
Is almost worse than slavery. But the
power OF the older schools of thought
Is great, and British lawmakers and
administrators. though deploring the
evils of infant marriages. must shrink
from Interference with customs which
claim to have religious sanction.

WOMEN BEING INTIMIDATED

A resident of Punahou who reached
his home yesterday afternoon in time
to receive a call from the trio of Chal-
dean priests, who are soliciting money
ostensibly for an orphans hospital
and home in their country, observed
that all of the names down for money
on the subscription list belonged to wo-
men.
This circumstance appeared to the OBJ
server as suspicious, indicating. a pur-
poseful canvass of the residence dis
tricts while the men were down town
attending to their business or occupa-
tion. Verification of the suspicion
that women were being intimidated or
brow beaten by the strangers was
forthcoming in one case related, where
the frocked solicitors became surly and
impudent upon the refusal of woman
to give them money.
Notwithstanding their hastily given
credentials from Mayor Fern under the

CONCENTRATION OF AMERICAS PACIFIC NAVAL POWER IN HA
MEANS DEFENsEs
TO PHILIPPINES AND PROBABLE TRANSPORTATION OF
TROOPS IN MERCHANT BOTTOMS FOR LACK OF TRANSPORTS

United States might hold Manila
against a sea or land force, but she
would be holding Manila against the
rest of the Philippines if an enemy
chose to land any considerable force.
So the idea of putting large forces of
the army into the Philippines is the
best yet, and that is what is about to
be accomplished.
within the next year the military
forces in the Philippines will be more
than doubled unless conditions take
decided turn"
The Sheridan was off Koko Head
at a. m. today and alongside the
Oceanic wharf before 1880 O'Clock.
She has 600 tons Of coal to take
aboard here and work on this task
was begun as soon as she was moor
ed. 1t is expected that she will sail
for the Philippines early tomorrow
morning, though her departure all
depends on the speed with which she
is bunkered.
A number of passengers were
brought for Honolulu, the list being
headed by Mrs. s.. w. Dunning, wife
of the commanding officer at Fort
Shafter, Twentieth Infantry. Captain
w. A. Holbrook and @. D. Moore, and
their wives, arrived for the Fifth
Cavalry. Mrs. G. G. Quigley is the
wife of Sergeant Major Quigley of
Fort Ruger. A number of Engineers,
Fifth Cavalrymen and others also ar.
rived for Honolulu.
For Manila there are aboard officers
and men Of the Fourteenth Cavalry,
Major w. S. Scott in charge; Twenty
first Infantry, Medical Corps. Quar-
termaster's Department, Philippine
Scouts, Fourth Infantry, Twelfth Ca
valry, Third Infantry, War Depart
ment civilian employees, Hospital
Corps, and Navy.
Except for two or three DAYS OF
heavy seas, the Sheridan was in good
weather. She was in wireless com
munication throughout.

DR.. O''DAY
DENIES IT

DR.. G. O'Day returned to Honolulu
in the S. s. Mariana this noon, from
Vancouver and Victoria and elsewhere
on the continent.
The first interrogation presented for
his mental handling was as to the
meaning of his reported arraignment or
Hawaii as an alleged place OF wicked
ness where sugar kings sent people
they didn't like to Molokai for livelong
Imprisonment as lepers, as alleged to
have been asserted by himself in a
mainland newspaper and reprinted
here with much indignation.
DR.. ODay admitted being interview
ed by numerous reporters on the main
land and telling them things that
should be known, but he absolutely
denied having made any such state
ments as credited to him in the SEN
sational story of his branding Molo-
kai as dumping ground for those who

Troops are to be hustled to the
Philippines" said an officer aboard
the United States Army transport
Sheridan which arrived from San
Francisco this morning, "and you
need not be surprised If you see
vessels of the Pacific Mail carrying
soldiers to Manila from the mainland
States during the next few months,
for there are not enough transports
to carry the men required for the
new scheme of Philippine defense.
Aboard the Sheridan Rn route
from Frisco, we received wireless
news of the world, both from San
Francisco and Honolulu, and one of
the items of information thus sent
over the water was that in regard to
the approval by President Taft OF the
plans of the Army and Navy Board
with reference to making Pearl Har-
Dor the base of naval operations in
this ocean, the abandonment of any
extensive fortification of Manila, Ca
vite or Olongapo, and the idea of de-
pending on the army for the defense
Of the Philippine islands.
well, we knew, unofficially, some
thing Of these plans before we sailed
from San Francisco. In fact it has
for some time been the talk in mill
tary circles that the Army would
have to look after the Philippines and
that the United States was to con-
centrate her Pacific naval fortifica-
tions in the Hawaiian Islands.
ntN nj.
without spending more money than
the islands are really worth to the
United States; but that is not so
much the point under consideration
as that the United States would have
to take years to effect any kind Of
reasonable fortification of the Philip
pines. What is the use of putting in
Notifications at Manila when an enc
my could land armies at hundred
other points in the islands? The
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-11-13

were supposed to be gotten out OF the
way by the planters.
DIR. O'Day declares that the asser-
tion that he said such things is absurd
on the face of it. Whatever state
ments he may have made were true,
but as the published interview appear
ed it was grossly exaggerated any any
thing but what he had authorized for
publication.
DR.. O'Day is indignant in his denial
and declares that his friends should
know him better than to believe he
gave expression to any such sensation
al ideas as were expressed in the al
legged interview.
