HILO HIGH SCHOOL REOPENS AND
VICTORY CLAIMED FOR MRS. COMPTON

Compton has won a complete victory
and the thanks of the parents of Hilo
are due her for having taken up, sim
gle handed, fight which should mean
a decided Improvement in the high
school which has needed it sadly. She
will be greatly missed in the local
school work, but the decision to trans
fer her is an absolutely proper one
and necessary for the discipline of
the local institution. Mrs. Compton.
by the decision of the Board, has been
completely exonerated, and her re.
quest, made some months ago. for a
transfer has been ordered by them.
In connection with Mr.. Richmond.
the Herald feels that the less said
the better, and can only hope that his
successor will have the strength of
character and experience needed to
hring local educational matters from
their 1resent standing to where they
should be-
The present trouble has been one
which has occasioned more scanda-
lous gossip than any like occurrence
for years. The tales which have
been spread throughout this city,
many of them of a character which
Is almost beyond belief, have been
numbered by the scores and they
nave in many cases so come from
sources which are indeed surprising
People who had no interest in the
matter save as onlookers, took sides
and INDUCED in the bitterest of re-
elimination. The effect has been a
bad one. Still there is one thing to
be said frankly. If such a state of
affairs as was rumored did exist, it
was absolutely necessary that action
OF some kind should be taken. I'M
morality, especially in a school, is
like bloodpoisoning, which spreads
with great rapidity and for which
the surgical knife is often necessary
If the patients life is to be saved.
Had Mrs. Compton quietly submitted
to the treatment she received, the
Board of Education would hardly
have stepped in. Such matter is
one to be handled by the surgical
and not by the faith cure method.

MANILA, April 5.-When the emin-
ent German physician and bacteriol-
ogist Herr Enrich, announced to the
world that in his six hundred and
sixth experiment with a formula
which he hoped would prove the long
looked for panacea for all blood ills,
he had attained the object of his life
long search, the eyes of the medical
world were turned toward Berlin,
where experiments of the efficacy of
DR.. Ehrlich's discovery were beirs
conducted. AS each new case was
disposed of successfully, physicians
who had been in oriental countries
in the practice of their professions
wondered if it were possible that this
remarkable discovery could be utiliz-
ed in the treatment of that scourge Of
the tropics-leprosy.
Manila physicians were not slow to
begin experiments to learn if lepro-
sy could be cured with the new prep
aration, and to this end extensive ex-

MANILA THINKS
IT ISN'T CHOLERA

MANILA, April S.-The Cablenews-
American says: Investigation of the
cholera reported to have broken out
on the sugar plantations of Hawaii,
and which dispatches to the Cable
news-American accredited to Filipino
laborers imported from the Philip
pines to cultivate the vast sugar es-
tates, has revealed the fact that the
prevalent disease was fish poisoning,
and not the dreaded plague.
A correspondent CT a Honolulu
paper states that the general opinion
there is that the infection was no
thing but fish poisoning, which has
almost exactly the same symptoms
the same pains, and is just about as
fatal as cholera.
1t is stated that if every one were
to eat the same scum shell fish, etc t,
that is gathered along the creeks,
streams and shores by the natives,
and which is more or less of poison

THE NEW ANGLO JAPANESE TREATY
Of RECIPROCITY As RATIFIED YESTERDAY

The Anglo-Japanese treaty ratified
yesterday by the Japanese Diet was
the subject of a bulletin recently is
sued by the British government ex
planning its provisions. The following
are from a PREDATORY note and from
the text of the treaty:
1T is intended that the new Treaty
shall come into force on the day after
the expiration of the existing treaty
and shall remain in force for twelve
years certain.
There is, however, special provision
in Article to meet the contingency
of either Contracting Power desiring
to revise the Tariff Schedule append
ed to the Treaty before the end of
that period. Should notice of such
desire be given at any time after the
treaty has been in force for not less
than a year, negotiations are to be
entered into for the purpose, and
should they prove unsuccessful within
six months, the party which gave
notice of revision would then be free
tc give a further six months notice
to terminate the tariff article separate
" without prejudice to the other stipu-
lations Of the treaty.
Part l. of the schedule annexed to
the treaty provides for reductions of
duty as compared with the rates of
the new japanese tariff on certain
Important classes of manufactured ar
ticles, mainly textile and iron and steel
goods, of special interest to British
trade on importation into Japan. In
an appendix a table is given compar.
irg the Conventional rates on these
articles with those of the new tariff,
the duties being converted into British
equivalents.
Broadly speaking, the effect is
that, in the case of cotton tissues of
the classes which specially interest
British trade, the new duties on grey
tissues are reduced by proportions
varying from one-third to one-fourth.

or kinds; in the case Of the more i'm
portant classes of tissues of pure
wool, by proportions varying from one
fourth to one-fifth; in that of tissues
Of wool and cotton mixed, and of linen
yarns, by about one-fifth; in that of
certain classes of iron and steel plates
ard sheets, including galvanized sheets
and timed plates, by amounts varying
from two-ninths to two-fifths in that
OF pig iron, by about one-sixth; and in
the case Of paints, by one third.
The imports of the above articles
from the United Kingdom into Japan
are valued at about 92,15O,OOO per an.
num-"
After this predatory note the treaty,
with its 2S articles, is duly set forth.
An article which, like No. mentioned
above, is of special interest is No.
rs, which provides that:
The stipulations of the present
t'eaty snail not be applicable to any
of his Britannia Majestys Dominions,
Colonies, Possessions, or Protectorates
beyond the seas, unless notice of adj
hesion shall have been given on be-
half of any such Dominion, Colony.
Possession, or Protectorate by his
Britannia Majesty's Representative at
Tckio before the expiration of two
years from the date of the exchange
of the notifications of the present
treaty"
The ten articles of import from
Japan to Great Britain affect
Gu by the treaty are: Habutae of
pure silk, not dyed or printed; hand
kerchiefs of habutae of pure silk, not
dyed or printed; copper, unwrought,

DISCUSSION OF SUGAR TARIFF
AND EFFECT OF HAWAIrs OLD TREATY

Representative Fordney of Michigan:
The gentleman from North Carolina
said he would vote for free sugar. Su.
gar is not in the bill, but it bears upon
this subject. We have but one trade
treaty upon our statute books today,
and God forbid that there ever be an
other like it. That is Cuban reciproc,
ity. l have talked so much about that
subject that | am called a crank on su.
gar, but let me call your attention
briefly to a few facts and figures. ]
was in Congress at the time that bill
became law. | protested against it
and voted against it then. Thank
heaven it never became a law by my
vote. The balance of trade between
this country and Cuba at that time
was $S,OOO,OO0 year in favor of Cuba.
Last year it had grown to the enor.
nous sum of $7O,O43,OOO. Let me tell
the gentlemen on this side and on that
side of the House what you did when
you voted for Cuban reciprocity. You
lowered the duty on sugar coming
from Cuba twenty per cent below the
rate paid on sugar coming from all
other countries, which are all coun-
tries except our insuIar possessions.
You reduced it twenty per cent. We
have imported from Cuba during the
life of that treaty 11,5OO,OOO tons of
sugar. This reduction of twenty per
cent below the Dingley rate on that
sugar sums up $77,51O,OOO the first day
of January last.
Sugar>No Cheaper.
Have the consumers of sugar in
this country purchased their sugar for
any less money than they did before?
No; notwithstanding the fact that
the worlds supply of sugar before
and after the adoption of that treaty
has been plenty, Notwithstanding we
have never had a famine on sugar or
short crop, so that the country's
supplies would be advanced on that
account, We have not bought sugar
for a fraction of a cent less.
This is step in the same direction.
Do not forget when you voted for
reduction of the duty on sugar com.
ing from Cuba, and when you vote
for the reduction of the duty on goods
coming from any country in the world,
instead of voting in the interest of the
consumers of this country you are

To the inedible crustaceans which

Hawaii's Old Treaty.
Mr. Kahn: l want to call the gen
tleman's attention to this fact that
under the reciprocity treaty with the
Hawaiian Islands, which was entered
into during the seventies, sugar was
brought in free from those islands
The duty was removed entirely. The
result was that the sugar was not re-
duced in price to the consumer a
fraction of a cent, but a number of
men who did the importing became
multimillionaires as consequence.
Mr. Fordney; l thank the gentle
man for the suggestion. In this conn.
try We have produced from cane and
beets sugar as follows: Taking the
same value for the the total of all the
crops mentioned from 1879 to date,
about $4.7O per hundred pounds, we
produced $S,535,OOO worth. Ten years
later, in 1889, We produced $4,000, 900
worth. In 1899 we produced 100000
600 worth. Just then the great beet
sugar industry took hold under pro
lection guaranteed In the Republican
platform adopted at the st. Louis con
Yention in 1896, and the next four
years, 1904, our crops had grown from
$2O,OOO,OOO worth to s69,OOO,OOO worth,
and in 1909 to $76,655, 900. It costs,
In round numbers, to produce sugar
from beets $3.50 a hundred pounds. II
costs more in the Northern States
than in the arid-land district to pro-
duce a pound of sugar from beets. In
Michigan it costs about four cents to
produce a pound. l have figures that
will show what, under free trade, If
the gentleman from North Carolina
could have his way, the sugar trust

Why Tariff Should Stay.
On the 18Th of April, according to
Willett G. Gray's Trade Sugar Journal,
sugar in bond in New York is quoted
at $l.91 hundred pounds. The duty
on that imported sugar from duty pay
ing countries, except Cuba, is $1.6Sk,
