The unusual richness of Haley's
brogue was sure sign of feeling. The
colonel only looked grim. After he
had taken Haley to a safe nook for his
confidence. nook where there were
neither ears nor eyes to be feared. he
would have made his way upstairs;
but halfway down the Office he was
hailed by the manager. The manager
was glad to hear that the young gen.

faint radiance Of an Intelligent, re-
spectfully tactful smile iilumine his
words and intimate that his listener
would have no awkward questions to
parry from him. The colonel felt an
ungrateful wrath. a reprehensible

replied: Mighty lucky, too. we are;

CHAPTER XII.

There was no one but Mrs. Winter
to welcome the colonel when, jaded,
warm and dusty, he tapped on Aunt
Rebecca's parlor door. Mrs. Millicent
was bristling with sense of injury;
one couldn't touch her conversational
ly without risk of a scratch. The colo
mel put up the shield of his unsuitable
appearance, his fatigue and his de.
plorable need of bath, and escaped
into his own apartment. But he made
his toilet with reckless haste. All the
time he was questioning his recent ex-
perience, trying to sort over his
theories, which had been plunged into
confusion by MERGERS confession. II

reluctant admiration in his tone.

He was meditating on his next step,
when Birdsall was announced below.
The detective looked as warm and as
tired as the colonel had felt an hour
before. Rupert was not eager to see
him, but neither was he anxious for
the tete.a-tete with Millicent which
awaited him in the parlor. Between
the two he chose Birdsall.

WILL LIES ORIGIN BE
FOUND IN KILAUEA'S FIRES?

Through the work of an observa-
tory and a trained corps of men at
the crater of Kilauea, we may succeed
in discovering the origin of life,''
stated Professor Jaggar. in the
course of his remarks yesterday be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce.
Following his address, he was asked
to ella borate on this startling state
ment for the Advertiser. He said, in
part:
That is theory of mine, concern
ing which 1 have written nothing as
yet. Lord Kelvin's theory is that life
came to- this world from space, the
life bearing spore of bacteria being
forced here from the outside. The
here, propelled by the force of the
sunlight from some other planet,
where it originated But, these spores
are organized beings, containing n.y.
drogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen,
four atoms. Organization involves
history. The theory that life orig
mated elsewhere and was pushed
to this world does not explain any,
thing of the origin. Hew did it orig
mate elsewhere?

know that every fly came from an
egg, besides a fly is a highly devel-
oped being.
We knew that there are algae

temperature and very high temper

places, these very lowest types of
animal organisms. They thrive in the
hot springs of the Yellowstone and of

you would call them. We examine
them microscopically, but what is
there beyond the reach of the micro
scope? Is it not possible that what
we call phenomena, or motion, is in
reality life originating? The lowest
form of life we find where the earth
is hottest. Is it not as probable that
life originated when the world was
molten and that beyond the reach of
the microscope life is yet originating
in those spots of the earth surface
where the temperatures are the high
est, such as at Kilauea?
"a study of the phenomena may
lead us to some wonderful discoveries
along this line The world is on the
brink of some such discoveries. The
experiments with the radium, the
resemble life leads me to believe so.

Eleven Arrested by High
Sheriff for Investiga-
ton, Including Maxine,
Negoro and Soga---
Habeas Corpus Pro-
Ceedings SO Plantation
Situation Quiet.

The three leading spirits of the strike
slept behind the bars Of Oahu prison
last night-Makino, Negoro and Sega,
the last named being the editor of the
Nippu Jill, the organ of the strikers.
No charge has been formally laid
against these men, their arrest being
made on the order of High Sheriff
Henry IN order to hold them for inves-
tigation. Chester Doyle, who holds a
special commission under the High Sher-
iff, made the actual arrests, being &C
companied on the rounds by the High
Sheriff and Deputy Warden Wood.
In addition to these three arch-con-
spirators, K. Kamura, one of the as
sistant editors of the Jill; M. Yanla-
shire, proprietor of the Yamashiro hotel,
on Beretania avenue; and many of the
employees of the Jill Office were also
arrested and are being held for inves-
tigation.
AS soon as the news of the arrests
reached Attorney Lightfoot, who is
representing the strikers, he took steps
to take out writ of habeas corpus for
Maxine, Negoro, Sega and Kamura. The
arrests were made at ten minutes to
four; by half past four the writ had
been secured from Judge De Bolt and
copies of it served on the High Sheriff
and on the Deputy Sheriff. The writ
is made returnable this morning at nine
o'clock to Judge Robinson.
The full list of those under arrest is:
Chisoga, Y. Tasaka, G. Negoro, K. Ma
kino, NJ Yamashiro, X. Kawamura,
Okumura, K. Takemura, K. Kawamoto,
N. Thara and Y. Imai.

Supervisor Aylett showed his hand in
great style TO the members of the Board
Of Supervisors last night when the mat
ter of the Honolulu Jail was brought
up for discussion. He made known the
fact in no uncertain way that he was
in favor of giving Sheriff Henry as
much power as possible, though he
didn t say it in so many words. The
matter came before the board on the
presentation Of report from the Ways
and Means Committee stating that, no
matter who had charge of the jail,
whether il was to be run by the Coun-
ty Sheriff or by the High Sheriff, Ger.
tain buildings, a hospital, etc, would
have to be constructed

nology, who addressed the members of
the Chamber of Commerce and their
invited guests in the room of the Cham,
Der yesterday afternoon.
Bringing the light of pure science to
bear upon the question of volcanoes
and earthquakes may, probably will,
result in enough accurate knowledge
being acquired to enable scientists else
where to foretell the coming Of such
disasters as have killed three hundred
thousand persons since the beginning Of
the century, over one hundred persons
each day for the past eight years. To
acquire this knowledge, the phenomena
prior to the eruption of volcanoes and
prior to the coming of the earthquake
must be studied. It is many times
more important to know what occurs
for the months, weeks and days before
one of these great disasters than to
know what occurred at the time and
afterwards, because it is upon the
knowledge gained of what precedes an
and an eruption that the
prophecies Of what are to came must
be based.

instructed to start in with the work
of building the needed structures right
away.
Aylett entered most strenuous OPP
position. He insisted that the report
of the Ways and Means Committee was
out of order, stating that the board was
even then waiting on report from
the Police Committee on that very mat
err. Mayor Fern, however, looked on
the matter in a different light, ruling
that the report was all right. On mo-
ton of Mcclellan, seconded by Logan,
the matter was deferred for final ae-
ton at the next meeting of the board.
More License Help.
A communication was read from
Treasurer Trent, accompanied also by
letter from Territorial Registrar Hem
nv C. Hapai The latter said in his
letter that it was impossible for one
man to handle the licenses, that during
the months of July and August, $50
licenses per day were often issued, and
that the general average for the whole
year was fifty per day. He said that
it would require at least two men on
the work. and, during the rush season,
more would be needed. On this state
ment from the Territorial Registrar,
Treasurer Trent asked for additional
aid in the license department. The
matter was referred to the Public Elk
penditures Committee.
