He Has No Soul to Blacken.

Sam. johnson of Minneapolis,
former public examiner, who did the
questionable work for Frank Day
during the campaign of 1904, has
filed a petition in bankruptcy, with
liabilities placed at $1,000. No
assets, except, perhaps, blackened
soul. This is another proof that God
does not will that any man shall
prosper beyond his deserts.

INJUNCTION CASE
ON IN COURT
Robinson to Decide Attempt to
Stop Paving of Fort
Street.
tFrom Saturday "a Advertiser,

L. j. Lord IS injunction suit against
the city and county to put a stop to
the contemplated paving of Fort street
with bitulithic pavement came on be-
fore Judge Robinson yesterday morn
ing for hearing, Deputy County Attor-
ney Fred Milverton appearing for the
municipal government and Frank
Thompson representing the plaintiff.
j. A. Gilman was called as a wit
ness by Thompson, but nothing hap
pened, as Milverton objected to the
questions asked him by Thompson and
was sustained by the court. Thompson
wanted to examine Gilman as to the
statements in his affidavit that he is
the sole representative in Honolulu of
the bitulithic paving company, but
WASH u allowed to do so.
Milverton's IS contention IS that Lord
has not shown that he is an injured
party, and that Lord has no special in
terest in the ease. Milverton also
claims that bitulithic, being a patented
pavement, nothing could be gained by
advertising for bids for laying it, as
only one agent has any right to do So
He also contends that the law specifi
cally proves that in cases where there
is no competition, it is not necessary to
advertise for bids.
The hearing was not finished yester'
day and was continued until today.

TRAVEL PLANS CHANGED
Has to Abandon Repetition of
Honeymoon Trip Because
of the Crowds.

GENOA, April 9.-The plan of Col
onel and Mrs. Roosevelt, to retrace the
courses of their honeymoon trip, was
abruptly ended today. Owing to the
increasing demonstrations along the line
of their travel, Roosevelt decided to
abandon the proposed trip altogether.
1t became apparent that there would
be increasing demonstrations wherever
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt went, and
in order to avoid them, the proposed
repetition Of honeymoon trip has been
given up.
The Roosevelts will go today to begin
three days trip on sister of Mrs.
Roosevelt. The popular demonstrations
of constantly increasing size, have
caused Colonel Roosevelt to change his
plans, and decline further public ap-
pearances.
Many letters from the United States
are being received by Roosevelt con-
tanning sharp criticism of Taft and the
Taft administration. When questioned
regarding these letters Roosevelt de-
clined to say anything.

OBSERVATORY IS
READY FOR WORK
Formal Opening of the Kaimuki
Institution Successful,
but Starless.
JUPITER PROVES BASHFUL
Honolulu Will Soon Have Correct
Time Furnished Daily
by Wire.
PROVES BAsHFUL
trrom saturday.. Advertiserl

The new observatory of the College
of Hawaii in Kaimuk was formally
opened last night with a special obser-
walton party for the newspapermen of
Honolulu. Unfortunately old Jupiter,
who had been picked out as the subject
of the observations for the evening, had
bashful attack and insisted on hiding
his face behind the clouds most of the
time, but the scribes were able to catch
one or two aeeting glimpses.
The observatory is now complete and
the instruments have been mounted
ready for work, though the finer ad-
iustments have not yet been made. The
adjusting will be completed today, how
ever, and Professor Donaggho will be
able to make observations from now on.
For several days past the professor has
been paying early moning visits to the
observatory to look for Halley's comet
but the weather has been so unsatisfac-
tory that nothing has been accom-
| plished.
The telescope has six.inch object
glass and under favorable conditions
can be adjusted up to 600 magnifca-
tions. 1t was impossible to use any
such power last night, however, forty
magnifcations being the greatest power
which would give any results.
The telescope is equipped with a
clock which causes the big tube to
move at the same rate of speed as the
star which is being observed. This
enables the astronomer to continue the
study of any star without having to
stop and readjust his telescope.
The telescope is equipped with grad
uated circles to be used in directing
the telescope toward any given heaven
ly body.
The observatory is also equipped with
solar transit having a three-inch
| glass. This transit is mounted on q
concrete pier which runs clear down to
hard pan. The telescope is mounted on
a similar pier.
| The dome revolves on track SC
that it can be readily turned around in
order to allow the telescope to be
pointed toward any part of the heavens
! Over the solar transit is long slit
which makes it possible to train the
transit on the sun at any season OF
the year.
A sidereal clock and chronograph are
now on their way here and are expect
ed soon. These instruments VIII bt
set up and then Professor Donagght
will be able to furnish absolutely cor
rect time both to jewellers and to navi
gators. At present the time is received
at the naval station by cable from th'
mainland.
1t is planned to arrange with thu
weather bureau officials to erect pol'
md ball on the top of the Young Hotel
This ball will be connected with thu
observatory by electric wires. At quar-
ter before twelve noon, each day, th'
ball will be hauled to the top of thu
pole. When the solar transit at th'
observatory shows that it is exactly
noon an electric button will be pressed
and the ball will drop. Thus person
] in the city, watching the roof of th'
Young Hotel just before noon, will b
able to get the exact time by whicl
to set their clocks and watches

OPIUM sMUGGLER
CAUGHT IN NET
Lee Koen Caught at Honokaa
With Four Tins of Dope
in Possession.

Lee Koen, Chinese who left Homo.
lulu ON the Mauna Kea last Tuesday,
was arrested at Honokaa last Wednes
day at the instigation of the Federal
authorities on the charge of smuggling
opium. In his possession was found
four full tins of opium, obviously
changed, and fourteen empty tins,
stamped and capable of being refilled.
Lee Koen was arrested by the Terri.
torial authorities at the suggestion of
r. r. Elgin, customs inspector at Ma
hukoDa. w. T. Rawlins, assistant Uni
ted States district attorney, was pas
senger on the Mauna Kea with Lee
KOen.
1t was fairly well known before the
Chinese sailed that he was carrying
opium and it was first suggested thar
the revenue cutter Thetis be used TO
catch the interisland steamer But
this was not necessary.
Lee Koen is now in custody and will
be brought back to Honolulu to answer
for his violation Of the Federal laws.

Federal and County officials Sc
cure Evidence Supposed to
Be Incriminating.
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATE
Socalled Holy Rollers Said to be
at Bottom of Anti Roman
Catholic Agitation.

1t is probable that the anti-Catholic
card investigation and the part that
the Holy Rollers have played in it this
far will come to head this morning
when certain evidence that the federal
and county officials have gathered will
be turned over to the federal grand
jury.
Last Saturday night federal and
county officers went up to the house of
the leaders of the socalled Holy Roll
ers at No. 81 Judd street while they
were preaching at the corner of Hotel
and Bethel, and after examining the
grounds entered, and searched for the
cards that they are accused of dis
tributing, vilifying the Roman Catholic
religion.
They did not find any cards but se-
cured several other things, among them
samples of handwriting which have
been turned over to be compared with
the handwriting on the vile letters that
have been received by Bonine, Tom
Sharp and Others. The examination
was made yesterday but the result is
hCPt stCICls
1t has been definitely learned that
the people who are at the head of the
sect have had some printing done late
ly, and evidences of a printing press
are said to have been found in the
house last Saturday night.
A minute examination of the type
used in printing the cards and the type
possessed by local printing Offices will
be made and the results are expected to
point to the culprit. 1t is certain, from
information received by the police,
that the cards have been printed in
Honolulu.
Williams, the head of the Holy Roll
ers, is an expert photo-engraver and
reproducer, and is said to be one of the
finest in the Islands, if not in the en-
tire country. This, however, is no evi-
dence against him.
United States District Attorney
Breckons claims that if the writer of
the letter that was sent to Bonine can
be found he can be prosecuted under
the federal statute prohibiting the use
of the mails for the distribution Of
obscene matter. He is not so certain
about the cards, but will try to convict
on these, also, providing the present
clues pointing to the guilty parties
turn out to be correct.
