CONGER'S FIGHT
FOR HIS WIFE

Omar F. Conger and his wife were
on the witness stand in the formers
habeas corpus suit to rescue the lat
ter from alleged imprisonment at the
home of her father, Thomas w. Raw
Inns, the trial of which began yester-
day afternoon before Judge Robinson.
The court shut out most of the evil
dence offered by the petitioner on both
the alleged abduction and detention OF
his wife, also granted motions of the
respondent to strike out a great deal
of the evidence that had got in. In
several instances Judge Robinson Of
his own motion ruled against the petit
toner.
Mrs. Conger testified that she did
not intend to live with her husband
when she married him, also that she
voluntarily refused to receive letters
by registerd mail and spcial deliv-
cry from him Yet she acknowledged
having received letters from him Sc
cretly delivered and answered them
secretly within few days past. This
correspondence was admitted in evil
dence and it showed that Mrs Conger
desired to be reunited to her husband,
whom she cautioned not to try to see
her for the present, as there was a
guard on the house. cit is not be-
cause l don't want to see you," Mrs.
Conger wrote; 81 don't want you to
get in any fight" She assured him
more than once that everything would
be all right, telling him not to worry
himself and urging him, BE sure and
don't sign any papers nor give me up,
dear"
Mrs. Conger was still on the stand
when the trial was continued until
ten O'Clock this morning. When not on
the stand before, during and after the
hearing she was closely guarded by
her father and two sisters. Mr.. Raw
lins successfully interfered to prevent
an interview between the husband and
wife in the courtroom before the OPEN
ing of court
j. Lightfoot represented the petit
tioner; and A. G. M. Robertson and
r. w. Breckons the respondent. The
hearing abounded with clashes be-
tween counsel, and occasionally a live
wire spanked between the bar-at
Lightfoot's station-and the bench.

back to the department as it's original
ly creative body with such suggestions
and recommendation as he may
choose to make.
Fourth. After the budget has been
finally completed by
(1) The Department Of Public In
struction and
(2) The Board of Estimates, or Au-
ditors and
(3} The Governor of the Territory,
it shall then be presented in duly ap-
proved and recommended form to the
Legislature, who in turn should refer
it to such special Joint Committee OF
both Houses as they may see fit to ap-
point which Committee should care
fully and exhaustively go over the en-
iltire budget and ascertain if the needs,
as presented, are correct, and parti-
! cularly whether all needs of the va
rious counties have been included, or
whether the list may, without detri-
ment to the work of the Department
be required. The work of the Com
mittee in the case of any question aris-
ing should allow the presentation of
/ the claims of the department, as also
of the several countiesfi or of indivi-
duals.
Fifth. On the final revision and ap-
proval of the budget of estimates for
school needs, it shall be at once re-
turned to both branches of the Legis-
lature, accompanied by the recommen-
dations of the Joint Committee, for its
adoption, and for the passage of an
act authorizing and directing the
/ Treasurer of the Territory to assess
and collect such mill tax as shall salts
| fly the estimates presented.
1t is hoped and expected that this
mill tax be kept for the next few years
down to as low as three mills and thus
come within our present one per cent
/ tax on real and personal property es-
pecially if in addition thereto there
should be a specific school tax includ-
ed in the poll tax as at present, but
of somewhat increased amount. That
is to say let ,the present school tax,
SO CALL of $500 per capita be raised
to not less than IS 90, and let it not be
not for Government Realization, after
it's collection but let ii be specifical-
ly appropriated and inviolably kept
for the purpose for which it is rails
ed We are assured that this increase
in special school tax would made the
estimated income for the next twC
years fully $471 ,25O 90, which while
not sufficient by one third to meet
school purposes, would still greatly
diminish the mill per cent assessment
on real and personal property which
the Treasurer would, by law, be re-
quired to levy and collect.
Under the careful and honest esti-
mates of the needs of the public
schools of the Territory, everything be-
ing thoroughly considered on its own
merits ouklined in the foregoing plan
the whole people would have an in

The Special School Fund Commits
sion appointed to study the problem
of raising school funds, has addressed
the following letter to a number OF
citizens:
Dear Sir:-The School Fund Com
mission, appointed by Governor Frear,
in accordance with the action of the
Legislature at its last regular session,
for the purpose of looking into the
prevailing methods of raising funds
for educational purposes with a view
to recommending some plan for the
Territory of Hawaii that will prove
of permanently better character, now
reports a portion of it's findings up
to the present, together with certain
suggestions that have been presented,
and asks you kindly to read and con-
slider the same, and write us a state
ment of your opinion, whether of ap-
proval or disapproval. Also the COM
mission would be glad for you to state
in writing any other plan that you
may think of for betterment of avistins
money raising methods for our puDhc
school requirements. 1t is believed
that you may be able to render valuable
contribution to the question under
study and the Commission will keenly
appreciate your faithful attention to
the subject, and will most cordially
welcome such suggestion as you may
have to offer.
We are indebted to Mr. w. H. Bah
bitt, Superintendent of Public Tnstruc
tion for the following statement and
suggestions.
1T has been the custom for num-
Der of years past, for the Department
of Public instruction to make up an
estimate of it's requirements for two
years, which estimate has, somewhat
prior to the meeting of the Legislature
been submitted to THE Governor for
his approval, and then as presented by
the department, or with changes and
revisions by the Governor, has been
submitted to the Legislature and by it
referred to proper committees for re-
concentrations to the legislative body
as whole. The appropriations as
given have been along the following
general lines:
Salary of superintendent,
Salary of Normal Inspectors,
Salary of Office Force,
Teachers Salaries,
Maintenance Lahainaluna,
Maintenance and Guards Boys In
dustrial,
Maintenance and Guards Girls In
dustrial,
Furniture and Fixtures,
Industrial and Manual Training,
Book and Library,
Stationery and Incidentals.
School Supplies,
General Repair and Upkeep OF
Grounds and Buildings on the various
islands.
New Buildings"
"These various appropriations have
been worded sometimes in one way
sometimes in another. The amounts
for new buildings have come from the
Loan Fund. During the last Legis-
lature. the repair and maintenance
and furniture and fixtures items were
transferred to the counties, and the
industrial training, school supplies
book and library, and lace making
were all grouped under one heading
with a lump appropriation"
"All monies available for the De-
partment of Public Instruction have
been specific appropriations. The
school tax, so called, part of the per
sonal tax, has for many years beer
turned in a. a Government realization
and the small proportion it bears tC
the amount needed is shown by ah'
statement which is enclosed herein"

Gameeooks In Panama.

The color line is not very distinctly
drawn In the Latin republics The San
Bias Indians are found in and around
Panama. Like the Semnoles of Flor
ida, they never We're conquered. A
curious feature of native life In Pana-
ma is the cockhghtlng, which, like
baseball In the United States, is more
attractive TO the public than any other
form of recreation. Even the work
men on the streets have favorlte birds
tethered near by and seize every op-
portunity to test their prowess. The
click-click Of steel spurs as the birds
strike each other, the squirting of blood
and the clamor Of men lndulglng In
small wagers seem TO supply the men
tai excitement that Spaniards find In
bullfights and that English speaking
races derive from less brutal contests.
The backer of each gamecock stands
behind it. and II his bird shows signs
of exhaustion he takes 1t up and puts
Its bill into his mouth while he. In

Curious Baths In PENANG.

One of the many things that strike
the tourist ms curious at l'ennng Is the
type of baths with which the hotels
are provided. Penang is in the Straits
Settlements Il British crown colony In
the Malay peninsula, deriving its name
from the straits OF Malacca. which
form the great trade route between
India and China. From each of the
first class rooms opens dark, cement
paved. damp smelling little room
which serves as the bath. In 1t Is an
immense jar of porous brown earth
cnwarc about fivc feet high. nearly
three feet in diameter in the middle
and but one and half feet in diane
ter ut the top. It stands huge and
graceful of outline, but dark and unin-
viting. and Is full to the brim with wa
ter, not, however, TO get into. Near
1t are supply of soft soap and long
handled quart dipper. The proper pro-
ccdure is TO soap the body well, then
throw several dippers of water over
It. repeating the process until salts
fed. There Is water enough to keep II
up for an hour or so. and there Is q
huge crash towel as large MS sheet
to wrap up in when the bath is over

What Is an Element?

In his little book called "'rhc Elc
mcnts" SIR William \. Tildcn defines
au element us II substance from
which by the operation of ordinary
chemical processes only one Kind of
matter can be obtained" This Is some.
thing quite different from the four Gle.
ments of Aristotlc-firc, water earth
and air--or the salt. sulphur ana mer-
curry OF the alchemists. Even In mod
crn times the conception of what an
element really is has changed some
what Sir William adds: Until quite
recently the elements of the inorganic
world were supposed TO be fixed, inn
mutable with the lapse Of ages or un-
der the mighty forces concerned In the
making OF worlds. But within a few
years we have learned that the atoms
at least are continually crumbling
away. 1t Is impossible to say whether
all may not he suffering n slow waste

The First Universities.

To fix precisely the date Of the rise
Of the first universities is impossible
for the reason that they were not
founded. but grew. They were started
by few able men who had something
they wished to teach and youths
wished to learn. Gradually the free,
voluntary center of learning became
the organized affair we know rs the
university. Among the earliest OF
these centers Of learning were Saler-
40, Naples and Bologna. Italy being
the first land TO experience the literary
revival We may say that Snlcrno
university was fairly established by
the year 1000. the University of Bo-
logna by lle0 and the University of
Naples by the year 1900. The Uni
versity Of Paris, which owes its ex-
istence to the genius of Abelard, was
founded about the same time.-New
York American.
