GET-RICH-QUICK
MAN MAKES NOTHING
Ancient Japanese Millionaire
Starts Local Man on
Same Line,

Kinokuniya Bunzaemon Is name
that Is known by all japanese; even
the school children have heard OF
the richest man of oldtime Japan.
He Is said to have made his wealth
through cornering the lumber mar
ket long time ago when a fire had
destroyed the major part of Toxic,
He charged all sorts of prices for the
lumber he had bought for next to
rothlng as soon as the fire alarm
went out.
Evidently inspired by the great
Kinokuniya's luck, n Honolulu Jap
Gnese who happened to be In Japan
when the great fire destroyed Osaka,
about year ago, bought up big
lot of lumber, and thought he was
safe to make great profit. Just
as he was figuring on the wealth he
would make, the government stepped
in and decreed what the prices
should he, and the Honolulu get
rich-quick man made nothing.
The regulation of prices by the
government is said by the local Jap
anese to be a good thing and they
consider that that Is the reason that
good rice from Japan can be bought
here at such reasonable figure.

TAFT WON'T MEET HIM.
Another. Engagement Prevents Him
From Greeting Roosevelt June 1S.

Washington, May 27.-President Taft
will not attend the home coming cele-
bration in New York in honor of The
odore Roosevelt on June 1S. The presi-
dent had been urged to attend by rep
resentatives of the Republican clubs of
New York, who first suggested the cell
ebration. On the day the former pres
ident sails into New York harbor
President Taft will be at Villa Nova.
Pa, receiving the degree of doctor of
Jurisprudence from st. Thomas college.
There is much speculation in Wash
ington as to just when and under what
circumstances President Taft and his
predecessor will meet. There is strong
probability, however, that Colonel
Roosevelt, as a returning special am
bassador, representing the United
States at the funeral of King Edward
will come to washington soon after his
arrival in this country to report to the
more than likely he will be entertained
as a guest at the White House during
his stay in Washington.
In case the president and Mr.. Roose-
welt do not meet under these circum-
stances it is said their first exchange
of greeting will take place in New York
city June "a, or %, at the convention
of the National League of Republican
clubs. President Taft has promised
John Hays Hammond. president of the
league, to attend the convention and
Colonel Roosevelt has accepted an in
vitation to be present and to make a
speech.

CHECKS The GIRLS.
New York School Board Rules Against
Extreme Athletics.

New York, May 27-The New York
board of education has decided that
too much athletics for school girls is
unwise. Acting on the recommenda-
ton of a committee of women, the
board has ruled that school girls have
no business to run more than fifty
yards, nor should they try to be hurd-
lers and broad jumpers.
In explanation of the decision a
statement from the board of education
says:
"In a general way the board of
education does not believe in having
girls become individually prominent in
athletic sports. 1t is all right in the
case of boys, but girls should not have
such aspirations. The board favors
games for girls in which many can
take part at the same time. We favor
mass games as opposed to exhibitions
of individual skill on the part of girls.
We fell sure that the decision will be
approved by fathers and mothers

THEY DEFY POLICE.
Members of 'Young Smokes" Gang
Continue to Fool Officers.

There is a gang of boys, negroes and
whites, whose parents reside in the
vicinity of Racket Hill whom the police
have been trying to catch for weeks,
but who so far have avoided arrest, by
always being outside the city limits
when the police arrive. They live like
wild men, sleeping and living in the
hills and hollows, and going to their
homes only when they need something
in the way of food or clothing. These
boys are protected by the residents Of
the locality in which their parents re-
side as faithfully as was ever the Jesse
James gang or it's successors. Whether
this Is through sympathy for the
youngsters or because of fear of the
vengeance that might follow reporting
them to the police, is not known.
The youngsters who are now lined up
to become desperate characters do not
work, bat they live, and it is believed
that likely they are responsible for
some of the near" burglaries which
have been reported lately. Police and
county officers, as well, have tried to
catch them but all attempts have been
unsuccessful so far. Only a few nights
ago the officers searched six houses in
an effort to locate some members of
the gang but the search went unre-
warded. The officers did not even
catch sight of the men they sought.
young Smoke brother of the orig
inal Smoke Williams, is commander
of the crew and he is not lacking in
achievement. For years he has been
considered "bad one'' and some time
ago he was sentenced to the reform
