FREAR DENIES
He WAS LOST
Governor Slept in the Cane
in the Valley of
kalalau.

CT was not lost; on the contrary"
said Governor Frear yesterday morn
ing, referring to the story that came
over from Kauai to the effect that he
and his party were lost on the pail one
night. And then the Governor ex-
planned.
stWe climbed up sthe pail on one
side,' he said, expecting the natives
to come up from the other side and
cut trail. But when we got to the
top, we found they had not arrived.
We waited while, but they did not
come, although we were SO close to
them that we could call te them. They
explained afterward that it was i'm
possible for them TO reach US. It was
about O'Clock in the afternoon, and
we knew it would take us at least
six hours to go down that way, SO We
concluded to go around the other way.
Most of the party went down the Ma
pail trail to Kalalau, the leper valley.
From there we went on in a sampan,
our whaleboat having gone back be-
fore we reached the valley. We slept
in a big cave at Kalalau, and that
night party of % or 80 Hawaiians
came down and sang meles to us. They
stayed there all night and helped us
off the next morning. Some of them
went on TO Honopu with US to help
us land, as the landing was very rough
at that place. In fact, it was impossi-
bic to get the boat in to shore, SO
we all took off our clothes and held
them above our heads while we waded
ashore We went back to the boat the
same way.

altogether, we got over most of
the island and had a fine trip
Mr.. Mendenhall, the expert on I'M
derground waters, who was with the
Governor during the entire trip, stat
ed this morning that it is too early
to say what the possibilities for irri-
CATION and the conservation of the wa
tiers of the island are, but he said he
could see no good reason now why
conservation should not be possible
and practicable.
t'But what we want first, and what
we must have before anything else
can be done,' he said, lis to have
a series of complete Typographical
maps of the islands made. That is the
reason that Mr.. Campbell sent cable
to the head of the geological survey
asking that Topographic Marshall be
GENT to Hawaii. Mr.. Marshall will
come and make a preliminary examin-
alton and see what is needed This is
the kind of map we need here, -
and Mr.. Mendenhall drew out a big
roll of contour maps of various dis
trlcts of other states and territories.
In some of them every variation of as
much as fvesfeet was indicated, ali
roads, bends in roads, houses, in fact,
every feature of the landscape. "When
we get series of maps of this kind,
we shall be ready to go ahead and

STRIKERS DENY
INTIMIDATION
The Taking OF Testimony in
Contempt Case Is
Begun.

The taking of testimony in the ICON
tempt case'' was begun in Judge Rob-
inson's court yesterday morning, one
witness for the prosecution being put
on the stand and examined. The testi-
mony given was not new, the matter
having, in one form or another, been
pretty thoroughly threshed out in the
various strike cases that have already
been tried.
Attorneys Ballou and Prosser appear
ed on behalf of the Oahu Sugar Com
pany, and the prosecution, Attorney
Lightfoot, as usual, representing the
japanese. Negoro was the only one of
the large number of respondents who
was present, lolling back in his chair,
tilted against the wall, in his usual wav.
Prosser presented to the court brief
summary of the pleadings, to which
Lightfoot objected, urging that the
pleadings in their entirety should be
read. The Judge ruled against him,
however.
The only matters of dispute are
whether violence or intimidation -.ere
used by the strikers pickets and
whether or not the Waipahu Higher
Wage Association was a branch of the
Honolulu Higher Wage Association. The
respondents to the order to snow cause
deny that they in any way violated the

lnson. They admit having maintained
picket system, but claim that it was

The witness placed on the stand YES.

Oyama, the man who claims that he was
threatened with physical violence if he
| dared to return to work. No great
progress in his examination had been
made when the court took its recess a,

TAKING OF TESTIMONY
IS MADE EASIER

The taking of dispositions in Great
Britain in civil and commercial cases
will hereafter be attended with less
difficulty than has been the ease in the
Iast. Governor Frear yesterday receiv-
ed a letter from the Secretary of the
Interior, enclosing letters from the Sec
rotary of State and the British Ambas-
sador, in which the statement was made
that testimony in civil and commercial
eases may now be taken without APP
plying to the British courts. 1t will
be unnecessary to employ an agent to
get court order to take testimony. as
the order will be issued on application

University of Tennessee.

The generous appropriations made to
the University Of Tennessee by the re-
cent session of the General Assembly
have made it possible for that institution
to announce that hereafter tuition will
be free to all Tennesseans, men and
women, in the Colleges of Liberal Arts,
Engineering and Agriculture. All fees
will be greatly reduced and the travel
ing expenses of the students to and
from the University will be paid by the
State. The faculty, now the largest
in the State, will be increased and ex-
tensiye additions will be made to the
equipment, library, and other facilities
for instruction The University thus
takes its rank among the very first in
situations in the Southern States in all
of its departments. There is a great
opportunity here for any young man or
woman who desires to secure a collegiate
education and to prepare for a useful
and successful life. A catalog of the
University will be sent to all interest
ed on receipt of request, addressed to
Brown Ayres, President, University of
Tennessee, Knoxville.

Civic League.

A number of ladies met last Thurs
day afternoon at the Elks Home for the
purpose of inaugurating a movement to
enlist the ladies of the city in public i'm
provements, those things which will be
an advantage to the general appearance
OF the city and for the comfort, pleasure
and health of citizens. Only few la
dies were present, but fortunately those
who did attend were fixed in the pur-
pose of extending the organization and
making plans for thorough canvass of
the work.
Next to Goodness is cleanliness, ;"
and we repeat without reserve or the
fear Of successful contradiction that
there is no cause outside of Christian
duty more important than the work of
a civic league In local sense there is
no secular work SO important, and there
is no reason why large number of la
dies should not join the organization
and give it active and substantial sup
port. Union City needs a civic league
badly, and if the same energy were put
forth that is directed at other things our
city would show the evidences of mu-
tually interested and progressive citi-
zens.
There is not altogether harmonious
liberal mindedness in regard to public
affairs in Union City. We have num-
Der OF citizens who live outside of the
corporate limits and do not share even
the burdens of taxation. But it is not
a tax the league is after. 1t is after
your moral and intelligent support first,
and then your mutual cooperation in
some approved plans for general i'm
provements.
The men are too busy and the ladies
have taken up a work that should re-
celve your commentator. Let other
ladies join them and do not stop until
they command your undivided support.

A Modest Reform.

Just shove 'er forrard half an hour

ter in the afternoon, said Captain Cut
tie, in discussing the merits of his ia
nous watch, and she'll be a watch as
III do you credit. Now comes the
National Daylight Association, with
headquarters at Cincinnati to suggest
that the time of the nation be Showed
forrard" two hours between May | and
October l of each year, by the simple
and ingenious process of setting the
clocks ahead two hours during that
time. After that we are to proceed as
before, to the end that America may
secure two hours of each day for rec
reation and exercise, and transfer two
hours of labor from the heat of the day
to the cool morning hours between 6
and O'Clock"
This is admirable. The adoption of
the suggestion would do away with the
wearing of evening clothes at formal
dinners in the summer time, as such
garments are only permissible after sun
set, to the great Tightening of the white
mans burden. OF hot summer days

Smiles the Solid South.

Smites the Solid South.
The South must quit looking at pol
itics through one knothole. This is the
key Of an article in Uncle Remus's
the Home Magazine. = The magazine
: is published in Atlanta Ca, and Sam
uel W. Dibble, a contributor, has the
first place in the book with very ex-
tensive notice of Chas. S. Barrett, pres
ident of the Farmers Union. 1t is
stated in the article that Mr.. Barrett is
head of an organization of 1000, 600
farmers. Mr.. Barrett is presented to
the readers of the magazine as a re-
markable man together with an inter-
view in which that gentleman gives ex-
preston to some remarkable utterances.
He begins with the South's political
intolerance erecting around it Chinese
wall, and it rests with the Southerner to
lower that wall. Following up the idea
he finally emerges in the clear that the
press of the South is Democratic and
that it reflects in the mass, Democratic
contentious, and suppresses other con-
tentions. After that he undertakes to
make it plain that the South has too
much Democracy.
All this is for the purpose of showing
that the South can't have any influence
at Washington in shaping legislation.
Ingenious are the plans to break the
Solid South.
Mr. Barrett takes it for granted that
there is no hope for Democracy and
that the party of the South must sur
render its principles in order to share
in the distribution of Governmental IA
vors.
Evidently Mr.. Barrett is man of eX
pediency and not of principle.
If there is a man in the South who is
afraid of his convictions we have never
seen him, and if there is Democrat in
name only we have not heard Of him.
In the first place Mr. Barrett takes it
for granted that nothing can be expect
ed from Washington except through the
Republican party. In the next place
he assumes that there is a chance for
Southern farmers if they will join the
ranks of the Republican party in de-
handing legislation.
This is worse than sophistry
Can the South turn Republican and
elect more Senators and Representatives
than she has?
To sum up the whole matter is there
a chance in Congress for the farmer, no
matter what his political opinion, while
the interests only are represented in the
lobby?
Would it be worth while for the farm
er to swap his political principles for
mess of pottage, and if he had no Dem
ocratic predictions would his vote for
the Republican ticket avail him any
thing?
Is the Solid South to be attacked for
every i'll? Is it to be battered by every
Are the principles of the Democratic
party to be assailed simply because the !
South is solidly Democratic? F..
There are more disguised instrument
talities at work to break the Solid South
than Horatio ever dreampt of in his
philosophy.

THE ONLY WAY
Many Union City Citizens Have Dis
covered It.

Just what to do when the kidneys are
affected is question that concerns both
young and DID, Weak kidneys neg
lected in childhood lead to lifelong suf-
fering. People of advanced years, with
less vitality, suffer doubly. In youth
or age, languor, backache, urinary ir-
regularity, dizziness and nervousness
make life burden.
There is one remedy that acts directly
on the kidneys and cures these troubles.
Doan's Kidney Pills owe their world
wide fame to the fact that they cure
sick kidneys and cure them permanent
ly. Follow the example of this Union
City citizen and you will be convinced
that this is so.
