LITTLE. INTERVIEWS
WALT MASON.

Honolulu staff are directed to battle
their faces and hands with lavender
water before starting on their duties.
1t is said to prevent mosquitoes from
biting If this is a fact it should BE-
generally known.
CHARLES REEVES Il believe
that an agent of the board of health
has been along Sixth avenue, Kaimu-
XII, telling householders to deposit
their garbage outside their houses for
removal lie hasn't been to my place
but that's probably on account of it's
being situated a little off the avenue
]. J. WILLIAMS-Mosquitoes breed
in the old wooden cutters on the
houses. Just do as l do-bOre a hole
through the cutters and thus drain
them. The same with iron cutters. I
have 300 feet of cutters on my house
and outbuildings and attended to them
this morning. TO take them off would
! have cost me 5000.
| c. G. BALLENTYNE-It seems that
the great source of danger is in the
Japanese steamers plying between
/ South and Central American ports
and the Orient calling at Honolulu
! Would it not be possible for arrange
ments to be entered into with the mer
/ chants who supply these steamers
with coal and provisions, and the
water department supplying them with
water, to refuse these supplies and
thereby prevent these ships from call
ing here, as the traffic between those
, South American ports and Honolulu
is of no object to this port other thar
the sale of those supplies? In other
words, boycott those ships as mat
ter of self-preservatiOn.

G. J. BROWN-Every time there is
a good prospect for the tourist season,
turns up that spells every
thing.
DIR. CLARK-The new immigrants
who are expected to arrive next month
are said to be a fine lot of men, wom-
en- and children.
BILL JONES-Why not declare
three days public holidays and nave
everybody start out with coal oil cans
to do up Che mosquitoes?
A. p. TAYLOR-A great many good
stories are lost by reporters taking
the explanations of interested persons
about occurrences the truth of which
never gets into the papers.
JOHN O'ROURKE-I'd like to see a
race for maiden horses at the next
Maui meeting. If a purse of $500 were
put up there would be at least eight
entries and Hawaii's would be among
them.
c. G. BALLENTYNE-This thing OF
taking the cutters from the houses is
a very important matter-in fact the
public does not appear to realize its
importance-and / intend to have the
cutters removed from my house forth

cles as stickpins, rings, brooches,
hand-painted plate, hatpins, silver
ware, lenses, thermos bottles, Chinese
and Japanese vases, cloisonne ware,
manicurtng sets, clocks, watches, etc.
Yesterday about $12O worth of mis-
cellaneous goods were removed from
the store of John Efinger on Bishop
street, where they had been placed on
consignment by Lau Kit.
There is still left at this store,
which is occupied by the South Sea
Curio Company, a lot of stickpins and
some valuable Jade rings which Mr.,
Wichman has been unable to identify.
/ Lau Kit has confessed to stealing
the stuff in question and says that he
has no more hidden away, but that he
has sold at different times consider
able of Wichmans property to other
people. He says that his salary didn't
cover his expenses and that he was
compelled to steal in order to prop
erly provide for his wife.
Effinger's Side.
John Effinger said this morning that
just as soon as he read in the paper
yesterday of the robbery he tele-
phoned to Arthur Wall of Wichman &
Co. and told him that Lau Kit had
placed a lot of stuff on consignment
with him and invited him to come
right over and see if he could iden-
tify any of it.
Lau Kit had been in the habit of
leaving stuff with him to be sold on a
25 per cent commission basis. He
told EHnger that he received some Of
the stuff from China and that he
manufactured the rest on the prem
ises of St Elizabeth's chapel, where
he had a lathe, and with the consent
and permission of Wichman. He also
said that he was going to open a jew
elry store in the near future and that
he might as well do a little business
through Efinger meanwhile.
According to Efinger, he has sold
about $50 worth of goods left by Lau
Kit during the last six months.
Merle johnson Talks.
Merle M, Johnson, treasurer of the
Wichman company, said this morn
ing:
The Advertiser has exaggerated
the thing a good deal There were no
diamonds whatever stolen, The sys-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-10-30

TEN we had of keeping track of these
was such that there was no chance OF
their being taken. There were a few
gold rings stolen, but the total value
of everything was not so high as stat
ed by the Advertiser, Also we are
pretty sure we have recovered about
everything Lau Kit got away with.
The Advertiser said there was $500
or $500 worth of goods found at IF
fingers. There was only Sis worth.
Besides there were some goods the
boy claims he made himself, also
some belonging to Tai 10y Co. where
he was working.
I'VE have not taken an inventory
yet, but the total value will not be
nearly so much as reported"
McDuflie has certainly handled the
matter in mastery style considering
that he was only called inNen the case
on Saturday afternoon. twill be re
membered that he did similarly good
work in the big jewelry robbery at
the Seaside Hotel, for which a man
named Johnson is now doing time
and in which case thousands of dol
lars of missing jewelry were located
and returned to their rightful owner.

PROCLAIM ATION.
Arbor and Conservation Day.

The practice, now widespread on
the mainland, Of setting aside one day
each year as Arbor Day, began in
Hawaii six years ago. Since then,
here as well as elsewhere, the larger
movement for the conservation and
development of all natural resources,
OF which Arbor Day represents only
one phase, has made great progress.
Two years ago, in consequence of the
quickening of the public conscience
and interest in these matters and the
practical results therefrOm in the in
auguration and extension of active
work along these lines, the scope Of
the day was enlarged.
Accordingly, | hereby designate Fri
day, the 10th day of November, 1911,
as ARBOR AND CONSERVATION
DAY for the Territory of Hawaii, and
recommend that on that day appro,
pirate exercises be held in all the
schools of the Territory and that a
part of the day be devoted to the
planting of trees and shrubs.
GIVEN under my hand and the
Great Seal of the Territory of Ha
waii, at the Capitol in Honolulu this
2Sth day of October, A. D. 1911.
