NEW YEAR Gets
ROYAL WELCOME
With Whistle Overture and Bomb
0bIigato 1910 Is Ushered
Onto the Stage.
lFrom saturday . Advertiser.l

At 10 clock last night, when Father
Time decreed that the Old Year should
be sent to its grave, and the New,
frisky and young, ushered in, a goodly
portion of Honolulu gathered on the
downtown streets to give a fitting obse-
quies to 1909. Whistles footed, bombs
roared and King street sounded as must
have sounded ancient Rome in the days
when she used to howl.
But with all the racket and merry
making there was no disorder. The
timid often sat covering, with hands
over their ears during a fusilade of
giant cannon crackers, and here and
there pedestrian was sent scurrying
in, confusion to the shelter of some
welcome doorway, to escape the on
slaught of brigade of gay eelebrators
armed with soda water syphons, but
none suffered any worse injury than
suit of soaked clothes, though a few
persons were forced to partake of
meals of parti-colored confetti.
Just as the hands Of the clock reach.
ed the zenith of the dial, the whistles
began to blow. Instantly a band
struck up the Star Spangled Banner,
and then she began to hum. Bang!
sounded the report of Chinese bomb.
Crack ty-bang- spi.ti-ky-crash,
answered the strings of firecrackers.
Cheer after cheer rent the air. Auto
mobile horns footed, while the festive
tin can lent its metallic tones to swell
the discord.
1t was jolly crowd on the streets,
all right, and noisy one, but it was
not disorderly and 1910 received fit.

the master, certifcated mates and crew
of the said vessel.
The Celtic Chief is an iron vessel
ship-rigged of 170S tons net registered
tonnage, official number 91271, built at
Dumbarton in 1885, and belonging to
the port of Liverpool.
1t appears from the evidence given
before this court that she sailed from
Hamburg on or about the 10th day of
July, 1909, bound for Honolulu, with
cargo of fertilizer and a crew Of
twenty-five hands all told.
All went well' until on the 9TH of
December about p. m. the vessel pass
ed Diamond Head, Oahu Island, Terri
tory of Hawaii, and continuing on her
way, passed the bell buoy off the en-
trance to Honolulu harbor at speed
of some six knots per hour. Here she
was boarded by Pilot Macaulay who
Immediately suggested wearing the
ship, as she was getting very close in.
After putting the helm up some few
minutes the order was changed and the
helm put down instead. The ship was
then brought to the wind and orders
given to let go the starboard anchor.
The pilot would appear to have shouted
this order several times but the anchor
not being ready, the port anchor was
eventually let go and subsequently the
starboard. When at this anchorage
the vessel appears to have bumped and
at 2:30 a. m. on the 9th of December
a breeze sprang up and the pilot 'sug-
gested to the chief mate that sail
should be got on the ship, and that she
should be backed off This was attempt
ed but the wind failed, and the vessel
drifted on to the reef.
The court having regard to the cir
cumstances aforementioned, finds as
follows:
That the master committed grave
error of Judgment in carrying too much
sail after passing Diamond Head and
when approaching the anchorage. The
chief mate is deserving of severe re-
primand in not having carried out the
order given by the master to have both
anchors ready for letting go, and also
in not having reported TO him that the
ystarboard anchor was not ready.
\ The court also desires 10 place on

19,O6O CHILDREN
IN THE SCHOOLS
Interesting Tabulation of Statis-
tics by Superintendent
W. H. Babbitt.

Nineteen thousand and sixty children
are attending the public schools of Ha-
waii, up to and including the eighth
grade, according to statistics Just col
lected and tabulated by w. II. Babbitt,
the retiring superintendent of public
instruction.
The conclusion of this important
work yesterday was one of the last of
fetal acts of Mr.. Babbitt, whose resig-
nation took effect at midnight last
Rght For months he and his corps of
assistants have been working on the
collection and tabulation of statistics
which should show as nearly as posi-
BILE just who, what and how many are
attending the public schools of the Ter
ritory, what progress they are making,
what are their ages and what their ma
tionalities. The tabulations are now
complete and are most interesting to
one who has time and inclination to
dig out of them the many good stories
they contain.
To attempt to analyze the figures
and tables would take more than one
day if it were done thoroughly, for Mr..
Babbitt has not only tabulated the
data for the Territory as a whole, but
he has records showing just how many
pupils, of just what nationalities and
of just what ages, are to be found in
each school district.
The figures show that there are in
the receiving grade total of 5503 pu-
pills, in the first grade 4O30, in the Sec
ond 30s7, in the third 1887, in the
fourth 1922, in the fifth 1918, in the
sixth SIS, in the seventh 346, and in
the eighth 800. 1t will be noticed that
the registration in the various grades
falls off rapidly and in fairly equal ra-
ito from the receiving grade to the
eighth.
Japanese Predominate.
The Japanese pupils outnumber all
other nationalities by large percent
age. There are 5SS5 Japanese register
ed. The Portuguese come next with
354S, then the Hawaiian with 1922,
part-Hawaiian 2453, Chinese 2057, Am
ericans 393, and other nationalities
1160.
The number of pupils of each nation
ality in each grade is given, together
with their ages-and this for each dis
trict in the Territory.
The collection and tabulation of these
statistics represents great amount of
labor and as one of Mr.. Babbitt Is last
official acts, is also one of his most
practical.
