many men and women have passed
away as a result either of lack of
proper medical treatment or by the
nauseating messes given by these
illegal practitioners. Within two

hands of the witch doctors, and now
the enlightened portions of the COM
munities of eastern Pennsylvania
have taken the matter in hand and
are preparing to stamp out this
medieval superstition from its den

MESSAGE

i, Governor Frear is trying to con-
coct" his message to the Legislature
as he puts it. He finds the work hard
owing to many Interruptions Also
he gives a portion of time daily to
the examination of bills drafted for
the session. There will be few ad-
ministration bills, although they will
not be presented as such. Some are
to carry out recommendations in the
Governors message, but the message
will not cover all the subjects of gov
ernment bills.
1t cannot be very short message,
the Governor says. Though he has
been using his mental condensing ap-
paratus assiduously, the subject-mat-
ter has bulged into the concrete form
of several fair-sized typewritten PAM
phlets already.

from the Island of Hawaii by Saturday.
He goes to sell at auction on the spot
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning, seven

in Waimea district. This is where they
raise products of the temperate zone,
such as potatoes, corn, asparagus and

are situated twelve miles from Hawai-

PRINCESS
WANTED
OAHU MUST CHOOSE AGAIN-PRI-
DRY BELLE WILL BE IN LINE
FOR HONOR.

Prince Charming, as personified by
the gala spirit of Honolulu's floral par
ade on Washington's Birthday, is seek
ing a Princess, though she must be a
wide awake Princess. Oahu's Prin-
cess must be chosen all over again, for
Mrs. Henry Holt, who was to have
ridden in the cavalcade as representa-
tive belle of Oahu, has been forbidden
by her physician to take part in the
procession.
Who, then, will be Oahu's Princess? &?
1t is no easy matter to choose a
Princess, as any member of any COM
Inittee interested, will testify. The Sc
lection of lady to be the belle of
the island in such an exhibition ne
cessarily means a few broken hearts
and when one is chosen the lid is
put on all uncharitableness. 10 have
to lift the lid, to choose another,
means more heart burnings.
Mauis Princess is assured. Miss
Hannah Cummings will represent that
island, and the Priory, in which Miss
Cummings is pupil, will concentrate
all it's energy in making the Maui rep
resentative a complete success, and
this instead of the Priory putting any
float or ornamented automobile or
other vehicle into the procession. A
magnificent horse will be provided and
the genius of the Priory will be lent
to Princess Hannahs garments, adorn-
ments and trappings. Bishop Restar-
lex Is much interested in the Priory's
part in the floral parade.
Assurances are desired from Kauai.
Francis Gay gave it out that he would
have a Princess over here, but later
comes word that the lady selected will
not be sent, for some such reason as
that Gay fears the horse will be hurt
in the journey. 1t is up to Gay and

ROADS ON MAP
OF HOUSE LOTS
ARE PROTECTED
AN IMPORTANT DECISION OF SUPREME FOR BUYERS
HOME SITES RESIDENCE TRACTs-cASE THAT OF THE HoD
SONS AGAINST woLTERs REFERENCE TO ROADS On
KAPAHULU TRACT.

An exceedingly important question
for purchasers of house lots in new
residence tracts was decided by the
Supreme Court in an opinion, written
by Justice Wilder, which was render
ed today.
1t maintains the integrity of roads
marked on the map of a plot, even
though the roads have not been TAX
EN- over by the authorities.
This case refers to the Kapahu1u
tract. At the suit of John Hodson
and Albertina Hodson, an Injunction
was granted by Judge Lindsay to res
train William Wolters from closing a
mapped road The Supreme Court af-
firms the decree. Thompson & Glenn
ons appeared for plaintiff, and Kinney
Marx, Prosser e Anderson for defen-
dant. Following is the syllabus of the
courts opinion:
Where lots on a road shown on a
map are sold with a representation
that the road, then surveyed and staK-
ed out, but not taken over by the
government would be kept open, be-
ing an easy and convenient route to
reach park and from there the CEN
Ter OF the town, the purchaser of the
lots may enjoin the proposed CLOSING
of the road"
After stating the facts of tbe caso
including the efforts of the defendan
10 close the road, and the removal Of
distractions thereon by the plaintiNs
up 10 the institution of the suit the
court says:
Inc defendants main contention is
tlat where lots are sold by man or pIat
Ihe purchasers acquire only an ease
ment III the streets shown on the man
which enable them to reach public
highways in the most convenient man
her' and that, as it is as easy and CON
Venlent for plaintiffs to reach puhIic
highways from their premises bv the
uhclosed portion of road H and pro-
ceedlng along Campbell avenue either
way as through the closed portion of
road II, the decree should be reversed.
1t is unnecessary to consider whether
any other street or road shown on
the map than the portion. of road H
IN question may be closed. The short
est and most convenient method of
getting to Kanaina avenue from plain
titfs' premises is undoubtedly along
road H and from there to Kapiolani
Park through private land. Without
the privilege of crossing private land
probably it is as convenient to reach
the park by one road as the others
mentioned But this closer portion
of road H is a continuation of the
street on which plaintiffs bought lots
and built and now live, is within only a
half a block of their house, is the
shorest and most practicable route
to Kanaina Avenue, the street car
line and the center of the town
and, more than all, the representation

.UNDESIRABLES have
Their SCOUTS HERE

Give me plate of soup and I'll go
home and sleep and won't bother you
any more," said bleary-eyed beggar
as he entered the Union Grill last night
addressing two gentlemen taking mid
night luncheon in a corner.
He was the third applicant for free
grub at the same place inside of two
hours and reports from other eating
houses tend to indicate that the three
referred to are but small percentage
of the number of buns at present in
the city.
Fhe-~beggar first noted, was known,
apparently, by the men to whom he ap-
piled, and he was refused any soup and
told to get out or go to Jail. 1t seems
that he had been begging all day and
had been BOOKING with the proceeds,
and then wound up at a restaurant for
free feed.

gentlemen at another table at once
