BAD" BOYS WILL
GOVERN SELVES
Principles of George Junior Re-
public to Be Applied at
WaiaIee.

Some Of the features of the George
Junior Republic for the handling OF
" bad - boys, may, according to Cover
nor Frear, be incorporated in the man
agement Of the Boys Industrial School
AT Waialee and the Lahainaluna School
Of Hawaii
Governor trear while in the East Wis
tied the George Junior Republic and be
came very much interested in the work
being done there by Mr.. George. He
realizes that it IS impracticable to try
to carry out in full detail the scheme in
Hawaii, but he also realizes that there
are certain features of the work that
might proftably be transferred to Ha-
waii.
The George Junior Republic is in
effect an institution for the reformation
Of so-called bad boys. Its main feature
is self government. The boys have their
own courts. their own magistrates
schools, work shops. governing assem-.
blies and methods of punishment. No
body IS under restraint except that i'm
posed by his own comrades. Nobody is
required to remain unless he wants to
and none IS followed if he runs away
The seIf-government principle, is follow
ed throughout.
The boys, Governor Frear says. are
encouraged to work. and upon their in
dustry depends their comfort. If they
are lazy. their food and accommodations
are comparatively poor. If they are in
dustrious. they are able to afford bet
ter quarters and better fare
In short, he boys are treated as men
They work as men, act like men anC
are given the responsibility Of men. A;
nearly as possible the boys are taught
to act under the conditions they vii
meet IN after life.
\ high school is maintained which
the boys may attend after working
hours, and the graduates of that schoo
are able to pass the entrance examlna
tions of the various colleges, otter
with high percentages.
Governor Frear says that this system
is in part already in effect at the Boys
Industrial School, but be thinks that i
, may be somewhat more elaborated there
as well as al Lahainaluna.

Poor Chun Tons Death Nav

Son, All Lai and Lung kee by Assist
ant City Attorney Milverton and Chief
Of Detectives Arthur McDu1fie failed 10
get anything from the three Chinese
bat theory that Chun Ton committed
suicide because opium was too high in
price The same theory was advanced
by Sing Noon and All Mon, who were
examined previously.
All five Chinese suspects stated they
believed Ton took his own life because
he was too poor to buy opium, but the
facts, as ascertained by McDu1fie and
others who went to the scene Of the
murder last Thursday afternoon. when
an inquest was held over the body Of
the murdered man, make such theory
sound ridiculous
The victim of the murder was sleep
ing IN a house with three Of the sus-
poets, and on Tuesday night ne left the
house, or was taken out Of it. and the
three got up and went to their break
fast without noticing that he was gone.
All Mon, at whose shanty Ton got his
meals, Went to the house where the
four lived and inquired for the missing
man, acting as if he We're especially
anxious to learn his wherea bouts.
Ton was stabbed in the side and his
body was burned to crisp from his knees
upward, and his shoes and an unloaded
rice gun and pair of sandals were
living alongside the body when Mon
discovered it. And besides there were
marks on the ground Indicating that
the body Of the man had been dragged
under the tree, where Mon found 1t.

The conviction Of Jack McFadden,

more brought TO the front the unsavory
crowd known as the - Hotel street

Prospective Tourists From Orient
Get Little Encouragement
to Stop OFF Here.

While the promotion committee i
making steady campaign 10 attract
tourists from all parts Of the world.
there are frequently scores Of tourists
in the floating palaces which arrive in
the harbor from the Orient who have
little or no opportunity to remain herr
10 see what scenic attractions there are.
according TO \. L. {. Atkinson. who
discussed the matter yesterday with
the members of the committee. Mr..
Atkinson recently returned from Man
churia, and based some of his state
ments on what he personally observed
aboard liner coming from Yokohama
to this port.
He referred to the apparent lack of
opportunity Of passengers coming from
Orient ports TO stop off at this port
and resume their voyage to the Coast
on later steamers. There were fifty pas
sengers on the boat on which he re-
turned home from Manchuria who
would have stopped over had they been
given any encouragement about getting
passage on 2 boat following.
He wondered if some arrangement
for Interchange of tickets could not be
| made. so that Pacific Mail tickets could
be useu on the Matson and Oceanic
lines from here to the Coast.
Agents Are Indifferent
He referred also to the Indifference
of steamship agents in the Orient and
their failure to give exact information
| about the Islands to prospective visit
| ors. \ passenger who came over on
the same boat learned from Cook g man
in the Orient that this was not the sea
/ son TO stop over in Honolulu, as it was
| too hot, a statement which made Mr..
/ Atkinson smile when he heard of it.
/ This passenger, who halls from the Isle
of Man. expressed his feelings about
steamship agents in general when he
was in Honolulu.

DR.. PODSTATA OUT
Head of Elgin Asylum Follows
DR.. Taylor of Watertown
in Resigning.
NEW RULES GIVEN AS CAUSE
Contends Board of Control Has Di-
vested of Authority but Not of
Responsibility.

Elgin, Ill, Jan. 26.-Dr. V. H.
Podstata, superintendent of the Ell
gin State hospital and former sup
erintendent of Dunning, has resign
ed. The resignation was forwarded
to the state board of administration
Jan. IT and is effective March 1.
News of the resignation was con-
firmed by Dr. Podstata upon reports
from Springfield.
I have resigned, but I cannot give
the reason without being unfair to
the board" he said The reason
is set forth frankly in the resigna-
ton. l intend to leave early in
March, spend several months in re-
viewing mental medicine at European
universities and upon my return
shall open an office in Chicago"
Reports are that when the board
of administration assumed control of
the institution there was a conflict
between the policies of that body and
Dr. Podstata, and that his resigna-
ton is the result.
Read order; Quit at Once.
DR.. Podstata's letter of resignation
was written on Jan. II, just three
days after he had received a copy of
the latest order promulgated by the
board curtailing the authority of sup
erintendents of state institutions over
their subordinates. The fact that he
had resigned has been carefully sup
pressed by the board of administra-
ton, which even denied it on one or
two occasions during the last week.
although his letter had been in it's
possession all that time.
The order TO the mind of DR.. Pod
stata, creates condition which mill
tates against a proper administra-
ton of the asylum affairs.
Responsible, with No Authority.
DR.. Podstata contends that the
board practically divests the super-
intendent of all authority over the
other employees without relieving
him of the duty of seeing that they
perform their duties properly. He
declines to serve as functionary
stripped of his functions
Under this order, taken in connec-
ton with the new rules. which were
put in force by the board upon the
first day of it's administration. the
superintendent cannot even discharge
his coachman for characterization or
any other cause because the coach
man is. by the rules, created head
of a department.

TWO BOYS HELD

Harry Condor and Henry Bur
ris Are Bound Over to the
Grand Jury.
BONDS FIXED AT $500
Steal Sum of Money, Revolver and
Razor from Saloon on Twelfth
Street.

Harry Condor and Henry Burris,
aged Is, were tried in the police court
his morning on a charge of burglary
and larceny and each was bound over
70 the grand jury under bonds of So,
500. The Burris boy is coIored.
Neither was able to furnish bond and
both were taken to jail.
Last Thursday night the two lads
entered the saloon of Max Helfrick,
Twelfth street and Ninth avenue, and
secreted themselves in the cellar
When closing up time came the pro-
prietor looked over the saloon and
did not discover the boys. One OF
them was hidden under a table and
the other behind a barrel in the cellar.
Helfrick locked up his place and went
home.
Ransack the Saloon.
AS soon as the boys were sure that
the coast was clear, they came out
from their hiding place and com
menced a systematic search Of the sa-
loon. They had previously learned
where the money was kept at night
and though there was only a small
sum on hand they appropriated It and

The robbery was discovered early the
iext morning and the matter was re-
ported to the police. Suspicion fell on
Condor and he was arrested during
The day. Plans were laid for the cap
ure of the colored youth. He was
taught yesterday and when the two
vere brought together they confessed
aneir crime and entered a plea Of
guilty to Magistrate c. ]. Smith. Oficer
Sidney Pearson made both arrests.
Planning Others.
The boys seem to have just COM
nenced on a career of crime. The
Iced which caused their arrest was
heir first, but that had several more
damned, one of which was the robbery
" a butcher shop in the same neigh
5orhood. They had looked over the
ay of the land and were familiar with
he inside Of the building so that they
could effect a quick entrance and get
nut again before their presence was
detected.
