THE CLOSED CHURCHES


A recent writer deplores the fact
that churches which are built and
furnished at great cost are really
opened but one day in the week fol
public use. He thinks they might
be the means of doing far more good
If they would 80 arrange that Their
parlors might be used as reading
rooms where young people could
meet under proper regulations. In
few towns comparatively are there
suitable places where the youth can
meet and enjoy their evenings in
some profitable manner. In some
quarters It is suggested that even the

its stage Of usesuiness and step.
must be taken to revive interest. Il
takes patience and perseverance tc
establish an institution which shall
attract and hold young people away
from the counter attractions which
the emissaries of the evil one 81
lavishly provide. These places art
warmed, lighted and furnished witt
view to make them enticing to tht
young, and such amusements art
offered as will engage their attention
and hold them. Now If churche,
would make equal effort in thi,
direction, if they would in like man
ner provide places equally attractiv,
but with diversions of a nature &c
annoble and not degrade they nigh
Guild up sentiment for better
things. At ali events the expert

FAKE CORPORATIONS

Iue government mas arrested
number OF swindlers who have beer
using the mails to gull people into
buying their worthless stocks. A
wireless telegraph company has TAX
en- many millions out of the pockets
Of poor people who we're allured by
tine promise of large dividends. 1t
seems strange tnat in these days of
newspapers warning against such
schemes that so many should disre.
gard facts and figures and be taken
in. The mail of one firm brought
$50, 600 in one morning from would
be investors and numerous telegratns
asking that stock should be reserved
until the money could be sent. 1t
there was such easy money to be
made. and the schemes were at all
sure to produce such golden results,
there are rich men enough with
idle capital to buy up every last
share of the stock and the promoters
themselves would not be spending
thousands of dollars il advertising it.
nor would they let single share pass
from their control. Men are not so
philantbropic as to pass around o
really good thing, they want to keep
it all for themselves, and when the
promise is made that company will
pay extraordinary dividends be sure
that it is a swindle. Let it alone.
Another thing. Too many presum
ably upright aud successful business
men with good regulations lend their
names to these frauds as directors,
or president, and so become party
criminals because their standing is
presumption that they have investi1
gated and do fully endorse the state
ments made with respect to the
soundness of the scheme. We read
pitiable tales of widows and those of
limited means investing their last
dollar in these frauds only to learn
when too late that their money is
gone without hope of recovery. The
swindlers ride in autos, dwell in pal
aces and live on the fat of the land.
Their families dress extravagantly,
their wives and daughters enjoy sec :.
ETY. and all that money can buy,
while the poor victims go back to
the wash tub or to the poor house.
This is not overdrawn. You can't
get something for nothing unless you
steal 1t or beat some one out of it,
and there usually are those who are
a little quicker at the game than you
are and get there first. Remember
this when next you receive an at.
tractive prospectus promising you a
gold mine for basket of chips, or in
other words shares of stock at 81
each or less. paying fabulous divi-
dends, with even greater returns in
sight just after you invest. The re-
turns are all to the velvet clad gen.
tlsmen who pocket your money and
casually remark to their fellows

KAMAAINA GOES
TO last REST
Heinrich W. Schmidt Dies at the
Age Of Sixty-FOur After Many
Years In Islands.
trrom saturday . Advertiset.l


Death yesterday took one more Of
those 5amaainas whose names are link
ed intimately with all things Hawaiian
when Heinrich Wilhelm Schmidt passed
away in the Queens Hospital where he
had been taken after suffering col
lapse.
One Of the most notable figures Of
Honolulu earlier commercial days was
lost in the death Of Mr.. schmidt. Ger
man by birth and education, with all
the ideal traits Of the Fatherland, he
was an important figure in monarchial,
republican and American Hawaii.
He was born in Bremen, November
10, 1916, being GA years old at the time
of his death. He attended school in
that city and at the age Of fourteen
entered q brokers' office there. After
serving year in that position he was
next apprenticed to mercantile house
and continued there until his term of
service was ended
At the completion of that time, chance
threw him IN the way of a member Of
the Honolulu firm of H. Hackfeld &
Co, becoming at that moment connect
ed with the country where he was to
spend the rest of his days.
He was engaged as bookkeeper by the
firm, but 1t trsnsplred that his services
were not needed at once, and was sub.
sequently employed by the Bremen firm
who were Haekfeld's agents in Ger.

MAF SELL SMALL
BOATS FOR BIGGER
Drifting Talk of Matson Co. Civ
ing Up HiIOnian and Enter
prise for New Liners.

As many steamships pass to and fro,
tarryine q while in Honolulu port and
then ohurning again to the great con
tinent, there are bound to be picked up
bita OF information prophetic of later
official intelligenees and which the head
Offices of q company are not likely to
hear until big deals are contaminated
Thus, in the instance of the MatsOn
Navigation Company, some of those
who have minor positions aboard the
the Wilhelmina, Hilonian, Enterprise,
Hyades and others, talking one with
the other and comparing notes of what
they hear from mainland ofiicialdom,
put two and two together and stir the
curiosity Of the public with what pur-
ports TO be advance information, and
what often turns out to be correct news.
For example, it is now reported that
the Matson Navigation Company con-
templates the sale of two of it's steam
Ships to the Bates 6 Chesebropgh in
terests, for the Panama run, and this
for the reason that the Matson com
pany finds that the Hilonian and the
Enterprise are getting too small, for
the big trade that Matson has develop
eu DtINecH tueSe 1SlduuS anu Nne lnhAu-
land States.
Only on Sunday was evidenced this
fact. When the Hilonian arrived filled
to the. decks. it was stated she had left
nearly FIVE hundred tons in San Fran
cisco for the Enterprise to bring here,
though the Enterprise, which is the San
FranciscolHilo boat had to make a spe-
cial trip, to this port to bring the
Hilonian 8 follower.
The idea is, it is said, that the Mat
son company will build or buy bigger
boats, like the Wilhelmina, or the new
Honolulu, which win be out here in
January to handle the evergrowing bust
ness.
1t will be remembered that the Ho-
nolulan was originally ordered by the
Amcrican-Hawaiian s. S. Co., which
found that it did not want the large
vessel in addition to its already large
feet, and the Matson people were ready
to take it off there hands OH a charter.
The Hilonian and the Enterprise have
been spoken for, according to the re-
ports above described, by the Panama
interests, for which run they will be
suitable.

BOOSTS HAWAIIAN REAL
ESTATE IN NORTHWEST

G. A. Stanton returned on the Hilo-
nian yesterday from a six weeks trip
through the Northwest and as far east
as Chicago. He visited the States to
do little promotion work by putting
the people wise to the good things that
are in store for them down in this land
of cocoanut milk and honey if they
will only come down and abide with the
folks of Honolulu or build their own
grass houses with a taro patch on the
side as they see the Hawaiian Islands
on picture postcards.
Stanton placed Hawaiian real estate
in the hands Of the largest firms in the
country and he said yesterday that ar
rangements were being made by the
100000 Club to bring Honolulu's popu-
lation up to that figure. A good many
persons he talked to, be said, had an
idea that it was one hundred in the
shade here in midwinteS and nothing
but t'nude natives could stand the
heat of the summer. He Visited Spo-
kane, Washington, Minneapolis, Min
nesota, Chicago and Boise, Idaho, from
which latter place he took little re-
creation hunting and fishing. In all of
the cities he took in Mr. Stanton hand
ed ont column interviews to the news
papers.

NOTED, becoming in turn salesman and
cashier until finally his knowledge and
business ability became so valuable to
the firm that in 1873 he was admitted
as partner.
By his economy and thrift he saved
capital sufficient to start in business
for himself in 1889 and in the course of
time accumulated great deal of prop.
erty, little of which, however, remains
to the estate.
He was, for a long time, the consul
of Norway and Sweden before division
came to those countries and the bril-
liant dinner which he gave in honor of
the travelling Prince Augustus is still
remembered by many.

Ann Weight, an English lady whom he
married on October 90, 1874, five boys
and two girls being born to them.

|BREcKoNs TO PREPARE CASES
United States District Court offi-
Gals to Have Busiest Day
of the Term.

A day of great and unusual activity
awaits United States District Attorney
Breckons this morning, not the least Of
his laBors being the commencement Of
condemnation proceedings against plots
Of ground for Fourteen lighthouses
in the Hawaiian lighthouse district,
chiefly ON the Islands of Hawaii and
Kauai. tfSh
This will be the first step of what
is to stand as the most ambitious under
taking which the lighthouse department
has attempted in Hawaii.
/ Breckons received orders in the last
mail from the acting encouragement
at Washington to proceed at once in
the various cases and is now busily en-
gagged in deciphering blue prints por-
traying the lands needed for each.
The only lighthouse provided for this
island in this series Of blue print is
that of Barber's Point where flashing
light already warns the nocturnal mari
ner. Not only the land on which the
lighthouse is to be erected is to be con-
demned but also roadway from the
lighthouse to the nearest government
road. This is the case with nearly ev.
cry one of the fourteen.
On Kauai land will be condemned for
a lighthouse at Lau Kokole on the
southern coast and also for one at Ulu-
la Point, at the entrance to Hanapepe
,harbor. On the opposite side of the
island land for light station will be
condemned at Kahala Point, together
F, with right of way to the Anahala
wharf landing.
Five or six are planned for Hawaii.
In North Kohala there will be land con-
demned for light at Mahukona land
ing and also at Kauhola, the former
with q right of way to the nearest gov.
eminent road although no such provi-
sion is made for the latter.
Kukuihaele is to have lighthouse,
1t being the sole item which Hamakua
receives in this list
One order instructs Breckons to start
proceedings to condemn land for seven
differest lighthouses, all of them scat
tered Kipahulu on southern Maui is
one Maui's sister island, Molokai, gets
two, Kaunakakai and Panwalu being in
the list.
The other three plots of land which
will be condemned are at Pepeekeo, Ha-
wea and Lac ka Laau.
The district attorneys Office will moi

nencement of the condemnation suits

Of the department faces 100000 dam
