FiStiC Show Is
Possible and
Probable

Although there was lot OF talk
some little time ago about an inter.
regimcntal boxing tournament being
brought on. the matter seems to have
died a natural death. The principal
difficulty in the way Of bringing oil a
show of this kind is that Il suitable
hail cannot be obtained In. which the
AFFAIR could be given.
The soldiers and marines are eager
enough about the scheme but the pro.
motors Of fstic events in this city
seem fed ny Of the whole business.

Yacht Hawaii
From Garden
Island

The Hawaii returned IRON her trip
to Kauai last night about 10 o'clock.
She was OF the shore at about
o'clock and could be plainly seen
from Waikiki. From the beach IL
looked as IL she would not make the
harbor before the wind dropped, al
though she picked up light breeze
and got in about 10 O'Clock.
The Hawaii left Honolulu last
Saturday afternoon at 2 O'Clock and
was in charge of Chan. Wilder. The
crew was composed of the following
yachtsmen Harry Wilder, Tony
King, w. l.. Castle, c. W. c. Deering,
Alex. Lundquist and Charlie Grenan
- the last two being professional
members of the crew.
The run down to Nawailiwili was
slow on account of the light breeze,
and port was not reached until Sun
day afternoon. The party got
warm greeting from the Rice broth
ers and were made to feel at home.
After lunching at Mr.. Rice's home
an automobile party was made up
and the visitors were taken all over
| the plantations, and were given =
good idea of the beauties of the Gar
den Island. The party then return.
ed to the Hawaii and the yachtsmen

. The night was spent at Mr.. Mr.
Rice's home, and on Monday morning
the party started out on goat hunt.
No less than forty-six or the agile
animals were shot and their skins
removed. some OF the specimens be.
ing remarkably fine ones.
The Hawaii left Kauai at o'clock
on Monday night, and, with the aid
of fairly good breeze, slipped
through the water in great style till
/ daylight. On Tuesday morning the
breeze had died away lot, and It
was debated II the yacht should go
around the other side of Oahu or
come up by BARRIERS point.
| II took from $3.50 till after noon
for the yacht to make her way from
Kaena point round BARRIERS, but at
about 4 o'clock slight breeze was
picked up which carried the Hawaii
along to the entrance to the harbor.
II took a full hour to beat up the
harbor and to maket fast alongside
the wharf.
The trip was a most enjoyable one
end everybody had delightful time.

back. and that of course could not
be helped. Lundquist was huge
success as cook. and some OF the
meals he provided were worthy OF

The Hawaii will remain in the
harbor for few days, and will prob
ably be put on the ways ror gem

preparation for the race to Kahulul,
which takes place on June II.

FACTS SET FORTH
ABOUT SCHOOLS
School Board Wish The
Truth Made Known
Criticism Based ON Poor knowledge
of Modern Ventilation.

The letter written by DR.. George
Otis Smith which appeared in a re-
cent issue of The Independent-Re-
porter, has caused considerable dis
,ussion. both favorable and unfavor-
able. and this week the School Board
Of the town has requested that GER
tain facts regarding the conditions OF
the schools and school buildings be
set forth that no misunderstanding
may arise in respect to the same
Members of the Board desire 1t to be
stated that they do not wish to enter
into any controversy in the matter but
simply to have the true facts made
known.
In the first place, to the intimation
contained in DR.. Smiths letter that
the windows of some of the school
houses are or have been nailed down
in the past, the committee wishes to
state that at present and at no time
during the year that the windows in
the various school rooms could not
be opened.
To the intimation that there is a
conflict between teachers and janitors
or other school officials in respect to
the opening of windows for ventila-
tion members of the Board desire II
to be said that no teacher has been
forbidden by any school authority, in
cluding the janitors, to open school
house windows.
To the intimation that physical all
ments have been traced to poor ven
tilation, etc, the members desire II
to be said that seventy five per cent
of the children who have been ex-
amined recently by DR.. Mary c. Cros-
we'll of Waterville, had never
been in the public schools prior to
the presnt year, and that they there

fore must have contracted their trou-
bles in a surprisingly short space of
time.
To the reflections cast upon the
Board, as a Board and as individu-
ais, members would like to state
that meetings are held twice each
month, that despite the fact that most
of the men are busy and serve the
town at small pay, the members are
always present. Since the last town
meeting, Messrs. Lord and Sawyer
have not been absent from single
meeting; DR.. Stinchfield has been alb
sent but three times. and these were
occasions when no important busi-
ness was transacted. Whenever i'm
portant business of any kind was
considered the full board has been in
attendance.
Each member of the Board has al
ways tried to bear an equal share or
the burdens. the members have work.
ed together in perfect harmony. and

every obligation which an election to
Office entailed

IMMIGRANT GIRLS GET
NO FAIR DEAL
Low Wages and Bad Living Condi-
tons the Foes.

Low wages and bad living condi-
tions are the worst foes of the i'm
migrant girls. Impelled by a natur-
al desire for amusement and to emu
late her betters in dress, she works
hard only to find that her wages are
insufficient, and her fall-if she does
fall-must be imputed to the Gus
toms of her new country and not to
any moral deficiency of her own.
Until political, social and economic
conditions are remodeled, the lower
strata of immigrant girls will not get
fair deal,
Those who know best-the official
and unofficial welcomers at the gate
way to America, as Ellis island is
aptly described, insists that the peas
ant girls who come to these shores
in the steerage have only the best
of motives. They seek here a share
in the prosperity of the country to
aid their relatives at home, or to
escape oppression or poverty in a
land that holds few inducements to
the lower classes, says Virginia
Wright, in the Van Norden Magazine
for January.
This is the universal opinion
among those who work with the
poorest class of immigrant girl. She
lands meaning to work hard as she
has done at home, hoping for more
comforts and wider life, no doubt
but innocent of anything beyond that
Then she finds that although the
work Is better paid than in Europe
1t is in many ways harder, more con-
fining. After working hours she discov-
ers a world of excitement and pleas
ure unknown before-dance halls,
theatres, and SO on. At home her
dress has been simple and adorn-
ment has consisted of bits of gold
ornaments handed down from mother
to daughter; there has never been
question of great rivalry in dress and
not the slightest inclination to ape
the costume of women of another
class.
Bit by bit she comes to feel that
the ways of the old world have lit
tie place here. AS she drops the
customs of home, 30 she drops the
standards. Simple pleasures no long
er amuse. Then she meets some
girl who has Travelled further along
the path on which she herself Is al
ready started and the girl introduces
some fine young man, perhaps lnno-

When a man starts out to uncover
vested conspiracy between govern
ment officials and a powerful bust
ness combination he is laying up
trouble for himself That is illus
trated in the case of Richard Parr.
the man who brought the New York
Customs employees and the Sugar
Trust TO book. In the January Van
Norden Magazine John S. Lopez sets
forth these experiences.
After using all its power in the de-
partment to have Parr shifted from
New York and Inundated the sugar
influences went at him directly. He
was offered $4,000. for instance, to
call off the Strathyre seizure. and
laughed at it Then friends of his
came with better offers and advice.
They told him he was a fool not TO
get his" He was offered 10000 il
he would take a trip TO Europe, and
always he was informed that sooner
or later they would get him. He
was placed under espionage Private
detectives tried to keep him in sight
always. and when they failed TO dis
cover anything against him they
tried to manufacture 1t. Some of
the expedients tried are almost in
credible.
He was then newly married and
lived with his wife and his mother
in Brooklyn. The lives of the wo-
men were made miserable by persecu-
tions by letter or telephone by the
appearance of strange men at the
windows or in the halls. Parr was
said 10 be living a dissolute life, and
this was charged against him at
Washington. He proved every speci-
fc case to have been impossible. and
at one time il was shown a man got
ten up to look like nm had forged
his signature on a hotel register. Parr
was in Washington at that time. His
desk at the Customs House was
broken into and a diary stolen. Fore
seeing this. he had taken care that
there was nothing important in it.
Anonymous letters, from women or
men invited him to go to certain
places to obtain new evidence; on
crowded railroad platforms he felt
himself jostled unnecessarily. and
thought they were trying TO pick his
pockets. A friendly warning told
him he was TO be thrown on the
tracks to be killed by train. He
caused the arrest of Two men in
Brooklyn and they confessed III court
they belonged to private detective
agency, hired 10 shadow him.
But all this did not daunt the man
and he persisted.

BRINGING A TRUST

Results of an Interview
With Roosevelt
Trouble for the Man Who Would Op-
pose Big Interests.

Ia the fan Of 1907 a boyish looking.
smooth-faced young man appeared at
the executive Offices o: the White
House. Washington and sent his
card 10 William Loeb. Jr., secretary
10 the President A few moments
later he and that ordinarily impas-
siye gentleman were exchanging
friendly greetings and handclasps
Il think that matter | spoke about

the visitor as he sat down. The sec
retary nodded his head and the roci-
tai began.
It was a story Of length the visitor
unfolded but all other business in
that Office stopped while 1t was be
ing told Even Mr.. Loeb showed eA-
element. which was unusual. From
time TO time he interrupted to ask a
question: he studied papers and 9TH
er memoranda which were produced,
leaned back in his chair and ponder
ed, and at last arose.
That is enough" he said. Wait"
Mr. Loeb disappeared through
door and for a while there was si-
lence. Then there came a vocal ex-
plosion. followed by the detonations
of rapid-fire questions. Where is
he? How does he know? How long?'
And then: Bring him in
The repetition of the story to the
man in the other room was longer
and more eventful. II was punctu-
ated with exclamations and COM
ments and it was followed by a rig
orous cross-examination. 1t was
ended when the man of the room
leaned forward, clicked his teeth and
set a powerful jaw.
Il believe you are right. This thing
must be stopped and the criminals
punished. You go ahead with your
Investigations; go quietly and surely
get the evidence that will convict
the big as well as the little fellows;
get them. get them all. You have a
big job on your hands. but I'll back

That ended the interview between
Theodore Roosevelt. President of the
! United States. and Richard Parr, then
a special agent of the United States
treasury. The story Parr told that
day was his observations of the con-
duct of certain employees of the
Sugar Trust at the port of New York
and the relations of certain customs
officials. high and low. with them.
The conversation resulted in the
wholesale exposure of vast Grim
inal conspiracy to defraud the gov
ernment out of millions; in arrests,
and indictments for one side and dis
grace and dismissal for another. The
incident should explain how difficult
it will be for a certain element to
discredt the Roosevelt administra-
/ ton by the allegation that its chief
was partial TO the sugar company in
his campaign against dishonest bus
mess combinations.

EnnIneer Killed in Wreck.

Kansas City.-David Parish, engi-
neer, was killed and two other persons
severely injured when a westbound
Excelsior passenger train and an east
bound freight collided on the Wabash
railroad neal Missouri City. Seventy
five passengers owe their safety if not
their lives to the presence of mind Of
Mrs. G. j. Luellen, wife of a miner,
who tagged both trains in time to give
the engineers an opportunity to re-
verse power and lessen the impact
when the locomotives came together.
Three hundred yards west of the
Wabash station at Missouri City the
railroad operates a coal mine and
chutes where engines r supplied. A
frame chute extends I'VE the track at
this point. The passenger train had
left the station and was approaching
the coal chutes.
Mrs. Luellen, from a knoll a hun
bred feet away, observed the passen-
ger train and also the freight coming
In the opposite direction. Before eth
er engineer was aware of the danger
the woman ran with great speed to the
tracks and waved a warning. Both en-
gineers acted instantly, but too late to
prevent the collision.
