Makiki Again
Makes Protest
AAHUMANU IMPROVEMENT CLUB ADOPTS RESOLUTION
A PROPOSED JAPANESE BOAR DISTRICT.
RESIDENTS THE DISTRICT PERMANENTLY RE-
MATTER, p. rs

The meeting had been called for the
purpose Of discussing the proposed es-
adjustment of a Japanese boarding
school and home, in the neighborhood
of Kinau and Pensacola streets, by
the Hawaiian board. There were va
rious expressions of opinion, all to
the effect that the establishment was
not desirable in that residence local
ity.
o. C. Swain stated that he had con-
versed with several of the members of
the Hawaiian Board regarding the
matter, and the Rev. Olsen, secretary,
had expressed the opinion that the
Board would not proceed with it's plans
if they were Objectionable to the resi-
dents of the district Two other
members, who did not desire to be
quoted, had intimated to them the
same view. The Rev. DR.. Scudder had
been disposed to fell that there was no
reason for protest.
Col ]. H. Fisher moved that a me-
mortal be drafted, for circulation
among all the property owners and
residents of the district, setting forth
permanently their objection to the es-
adjustment of any more Japanese
camps, or other institutions, in the
district. st should be throughly
circulated so that we may all go on
record he said, "and there can be
no question in future about the SEN
timent of the people of Makiki"
Fishers motion was adoped, and on
motion of C. w. Ashford, he was
made chairman of committee to take
the matter up.
There was considerable discussion
among members informally regarding
the evils of the camps now in the dis
trict, and much indignation was ma
infested at the conditions tolerated.

WHEREAS it has come to the
knowledge of the residents and property
owners of the Makiki District, that it
is the intention of the Hawaiian Board
to purchase property in the vicinity
Of Pensacola and Kinau Streets on
which to establish a home and school
for Japanese children,
AND WHEREAS such action on
the part of the Hawaiian Board will
tend to destroy the desirability of
neighboring property for residential
purposes and thereby greatly depre-
ciate the value of such property, MAX
ing the same unsaleable,
NOW THEREFORE,, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED by the members of the Kaa-
humanu Improvement Club, that we
do hereby protest against the estab-

ance to all persons residing in this
locality,

ED that the officers Of the Hawaiian
Board be respectfully requested to dis.

Lord Crewe made a very interesting
little speech the other day at the an
nual meeting of the Atlantic union, a
society which works for the improve
ment Of Anglo-American cordiality
and of the relations between English
men and men Of other nations general
ly. He said that n grave cause of
international misunderstanding was
our notorious stiffness of demeanor.'T
and he referred to that delightful
drawing by Du Maurier in Punch. I'M
which the table d'hote of a foreign
hotel in the slack season was depicted
as populated only by two Englishmen,
sitting at opposite ends of the table,
glazing speechlessly at each other. All
that he said was true enough. We are,
undemonstrative. We are not men
and brothers the whole world round
as we should be, and as we shall be-
when Robert Burns millennium comes
at last. If we may be allowed to say
SO, we can hardly picture Lord Crewe
himself responding with a leap into
the air and a joyful howl to the How
do, sonny?" of an Ontario mine mama
ger. He would probably smile charm
ingly, bow most courteously and ex-
tend a friendly hand; but the ~colonistI
would take all that for GOODNESS and
the Atlantic union would have to ex-
plain.-London Evening Standard.

Fred Erickson was h~eart-keen to
the fact that he loved the girl. but, as
yet, he had said nothing to her about
II. In fact he had never spoken to
her. They were not acquainted with
each other.
1t was what is called love at first
sight-that is, as far as Fred was con
serned. The first time he saw her she
was sitting opposite him on a belt line
car going from Albany to Troy, and
his susceptible heart had gone pit-a-
pat. Chance thrust them together
often after that, but without an op-
portunity to become acquainted.
Erickson. a young lawyer located In
Albany, should have been giving his
whole attention to the theories of a
practice that was yet to come. In
stead, he dreamed the long office hours
through, and all his dreams were Of
the fair unknown.
This fascinating girl was, in points
Of beauty, a maid to marvel at. Her
eyes were dusky wells of midnight
with long, dark lashes that half hid
the depths Of them, and the black of
these contrasted strangely with the
white Of her satiny skin. All in all.
she was, from her daintily arranged
hair to the tips Of her tiny shoes. the
sweetest girl creation that had ever
come to the ken of Fred Erickson. He
longed to meet her.
Here romance stepped in.
II Helen Landen-this was her name
had aver cast a calculating eye over
the tall. serious faced youth who ap-
peared SO frequently to her, she did SO
without due knowledge of what fates
had in store.
Ringston's circus, a mighty army OF
tents, opened in Albany to play two
dates, afternoon and evening, with all
the pomp and ceremony Of that digni-
fled institution. Erickson attended the
evening performance. Spangled per
formers crowded the three rings in
marvellous act after act. An army OF

clowns capered to queer pranks, and,
as always, the circus was a pulsating
success-a gaudy, glittering success.
After the concert, Erickson and a
friend found themselves ~leisurely
strolling through the menagerie tent.
A mighty elephant, almost the peer Of
the famous Jumbo in size, interested
them. Its crafty eyes we're sparkling
with intelligence. Its calm, calculating
survey Of the curious ones who gath
cred to do 1t honor, was majestic,
regal. It's swaying trunk, vitality rest
less, raised itself above them occa-
sionally as If delivering a benson.
A tinkling cadence Of girlish laugh
ter from behind the youth again
caused the erratic heart vibrations in
his breast, responsive to only one
maid, and Erickson turned. His face
flushed as he gazed at her. She was
with an elderly person-evidently her
father. Her nearness caused the youth
to fear for himself. 1t seemed to him
that he must turn and crush her in
his arms.

turned to her father. Il wonder IL she

The elderly person looked inquiring-
ly toward a keeper who stood at some
little distance.

captivity, and the largest. Bess here
knows morn some folks, she does"
The girl stepped daintily forward, a
smile curving her red lips, and the
pert little lose of hers wrinkled in
amusement.
"I'm going to feed her." she said.
The elephant graciously accepted an
absurdly small bon bon, and seemed
to wink a knowing eye at Erickson,
who glared ~enviously.
1.-THE tiger is out!" A hoarse voice
raised the cry and in an instant the
tent was mob mad. Women screamed
and tainted. Children walled and
men cursed. To add to the pandemo-
mum, the gasoline lights fickered des-
perately In the wind created by the
panic.stricken crowd-and went out,
A feline scream rose above the noise.
and an animal chorus quickly respond
ed. Elephants trumpeted. Lions
roared. The camels lifted their voices
in uncanny shrieks. and excitement
was the order Of the moment.
Erickson, stricken dumb, suddenly
recovered himself and reached out
blind arms for the girl. His first
thoughts were of her. She must be
rescued at all hazards.
Just as his satisfied hands came In
contact with her, a velvety something
brushed curiously across his face, and
then suddenly dropped to his waist
their waists-and the two were lifted
high In the air to be placed gently on
the back Of the elephant.
The girl gave a frightened hall
scream, and her little hands convul
sively clutched the arm Of her com
panion.
"What-wha-what is it?" she gasped
Erickson thrilled at her touch
Don't be frightened" he said. THE

the six-shooter was nothing short of miracu-

sustained one day when he visited a shooting
gallery in company with an American dentist,
who mad taken pleasure in showing him the
sights of the quaint old town.
Captain, suppose you shoot out those tar

Without hesitation Mcdonald drew his re-
volver and opened a fusillade, h>tting a target
at each shot. Two MeXicans who were prac-
Using in the gallery made a wild break for
the open air and safety. Soldiers and police
came running in excitement and confusion
to discover the cause. 1t was all over by this
time and the officers, seeing only Captain Bill
and the dentist, stood gaping, waiting an ex-
PLANTATION.
"It is nothing" said the dentist in Span

As the century drew near its end a wave
of disorder and crime that amounted to an
foundation swept over the eastern and south
y eastern portion of Texas. Murders, lynchings,
mobs and rumors of mobs were reported daily.
The R-eece-Townsend feud in Colorado
go county gave the state no end of trouble. The
Reece and Townsend families killed one an
., other in the regulation way, when good oppor-
tunities offered. They had a fashion Of gather
lrg in the streets of Columbus, the county
Sseat, for their demonstrations and sometimes
on a field day like this they killed members
of other families, by mistake. But errors of
this sort were not allowed to interfere with
the central idea of the feud; they apologized,
and went on killing one another, just the same.
1t was when a boy who belonged to neither
faction was shot and killed at one of these

Rangers were ordered to Columbus to put
down what seemed about to become a general
war.
CAPTAIN Bill failed to receive the order In
time to get his men the same day, but did not
wait. He wired two to follow him on the first
train, and set out for Columbus alone. Ar.
irving on the streets of Columbus, he saw de-

Practise Hard to Eradicate.

1t has been stated frequently during
the last year or two that the prictise!

is dying out in China. This strange

in degree from the practise, not I'M,
known among white women, Of wear

years practically universal among the

MUCH SENTIMENT FAVORS NEW DATE
 FOR FISCAL YEAR

There is strong sentiment among city officials that the city's fiscal year should commence on Jan. instead of April 1, and that the Board of Appor- tionment and Taxation should lay the tax some time during the month of November.
 If I knew how much money the Board of Apportionment was going to allow me I could commence at once to lay out my work for next year" ," said the head of one city department today. .If money for public work was available on Jan. many projects could be got out of the way before the summer, rolls around he added.
 An official of one of the public ser vice corporations said that his concern could buy supplies for less money be- fore January than it could after the first of the year, but that the company is obliged to wait until after the tax board has made it's appropriations be- fore 1t knows how much pipe to order if any. All extensions of gas and water mains are contingent upon work done by the city in opening new streets and laying permanent pavement
