HOW JUVENILES
ARE TREATED

what / am most interested in now
is the finding of homes for the boys
and girls in the different asylums Of
Chicago" said Mrs Albert Stein at the
Moana this morning,
Mrs Stein has been interested in the
ception and has done much for the
perfecting of the present system by
which all minor offenders before the
law are handled.
She is chairman of the Committee
of Friendly Visitors at present, COM
mitteo of women. each of whom takes
one or more children under her care
and makes a call once or twice a week
to see how the child is getting along
in the new home which has been found
for it,
"The movement to separate the jul
Venile offenders from the hardened
criminals was begun several years
ago" said Mrs Stein, land Chicago was
the first city to adopt such a system.
lWO years ago we TeorSdHlHeu oui
work under the name of the Juvenile
Protective League, for large part of
our aims had been accomplished.
"By that | mean that the city and
county had been brought to have its
separate juvenile court, a detention
home was established our own officers,
twenty in number, were paid by the
government, as were our regular ply
stefan and dentist, and now we also
have visiting nurse
In the detention home we can care
for more than two hundred boys and
girls. They have home life here,

that he expressed before against the
schools being a first charge pmon the
revenue OF the Territory.
Il am for liberal treatment of the
schools" said Senator Brown, but
however important department of the
government may be, it should take it's
proportion OF the Territorial revenue
II can not expect more. The Legisla-
ture is i'm danger of putting the Board
of Education in its own place, and we
might as wen move the whole treasury
over and plank it down in the Board
of Education headquarters"
Senator Brown then stated that he
would move tomorrow to strike out
that portion of the bill making the
schools a first charge upon Territorial
revenue, Senator Chillingworth observ-
ing that in the interval the Senators
could look up the subject for them
selves.
Senator Fairchid stated that the
first charge referred to in the bill would
come only after interest and sinking
fund for the public debt of the coun-
try had been paid.

SECRETARY FISHER AVID STREET
RAILWAY FRANCHISES.

Reference has been previously made
in these columns to the Importance to
this Territory of the change in the
Office Of Secretary of the Interior.
Secretary Fisher appears to be a man
very much of the Garfield type, and
perhaps more so, on account Of his
having been in the thick of tcrcer
battles than even Garfield has fought.
The Chicago Daily News, of Mr..
Fishers home city, says % the lately
appointed Secretary;
Mr.. Fishers practical interest in
the conservation movement, together
with his record as vigorous fighter
for public rights, makes his selection
for this post at this time peculiarly
significant. 1t means that the battle
for the conservation of the nations
resources will have the aid of one of
the country's ablest and most public
spirited citizens.
Mr. Fishers activities heretofore
have been largely in the municipal
| field. As president of the Municipal
Voters League he has done much to
| improve governmental conditions in
! Chicago. AS special traction counsel
! he was chiefly responsible for the So
luton of Chicago's traction tangle
which was approved by the people
on q referendum vote four years ago
next April His services to the pub
lie, however, have been more numer-
GUS and varied than reference even to
these two important subjects indi-
Gates He acted as president of the
| Conservation League during an i'm
portant period in the history of that
| organization. More recently he has
been serving as a member of the COM
mission appointed by President Taft
to outline a plan for the public con-
troll of the security issues of the great
national public service corporations.
"In making Mr. Fisher Secretary
of the Interior President Taft has re-
flected credit upon his administration
and has rendered the general public
an important service"
Since Secretary Fisher has made
speciality of street railway fran.
chises why would II not be good
plan for the Territory to obtain, II
possible, his ideas on the proposed
extension of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit franchises.
Secretary Fisher has made 4 buSi-
ness Of working ont franchise plans
for the benefit Of the people.

POI SUBJECT
OF DEBATE
Continued From Page u


Tavares' second amendment was lost.
an amendment knocking out the provi-
sion against allowing poi shops in close
proximity TO stables, lanndries or abat-
toirs. He offered in place a provision
leaving this regulation to the discre-
ton of the Board of Health, but pro-
hibiting stables, laundries or abattoirs
from being built close to poi shops.
The amendment does not change the
sense of the bill except to prevent poi
shops, after being built, from having
to move because stables or laundries
happen to be established close by 1t
would prevent the stables or laundries
from being built there.
After considerable discussion, the
House decided to defer consideration
of the bill and pending amendments
until this afternoon
Norman Watkins introduced a reso-
luton this morning for the Hawaiian
Trust Company, by j. r. Gait, the man
ager and treasurer. The petition asks
that the Territory acquire certain wa
ter rights in Pauoa Valley now own
ed by the Charles W. Booth Estate. The
petition contains Il letter from the. trust
company to Superintendent of Public
Works Campbell, in which it is set
forth that the water supply owned by
the Booth estate is very pure and east
" available for use in Honolulu. The
trust company declares that it wishes
to realize only the cash market value
of the water rights, also that some
debts of the estate must be met soon
and unless the Territory acquires the
water rights, they must be sold else
where. The petition asks that the Leg
islature appropriate money to secure
the water. The petition was referred
to the finance committee. H
The education committee submitted
a report on Longs bill amending the

previous environment is Investigated
Formerly the minors were held in
the same court as the old offenders,
and they were forced to sit while 9TH
er cases were being disposed Of and
hear things which no child should hear
IF boy in playing ball broke a
window. he could be arrested, held in
the station with hardened criminals and
brought to court to await his trial
while all sorts of cases were heard be-
fore him, and the same was true with
the young girls.
"Now all that is changed The boys
and girls are taken to the detention
home and the court convenes in the
same building twice week. The
children are kept there until their
cases are disposed Of, and in some
cases, where their parents are not able
to make home for them, home is
found.
"They have a school in the same
building, and while they are being held
they are taught with the idea of find
| ing out Just what their bent is so that
| they could be placed where they will
have chance to follow it.
I'VE are finding many homes for
children who come into our hands now.
In fact, we are at work trying to place
the asylums of the city, with the re-
suit that one of these institutions has
! been nearly stripped of children during
| the past few months.
This result is being accomplished by
finding permanent homes for the chill
dren by adoption in families who are
well able to care for them, and then
| by boarding them out in families out
side the city
1--WE can board R boy or girl in a
private family for three dollars week,
and that is more cheaply than it is be-
| ing done in the public institutions"
Mrs. Stein is a charming young wom-
an, with kindly manner which must
win for her many friends in the work
| in which she is engaged, and in which
| by her conversation she shows she is
| deeply interested,
Another phase Of the work of which
Z! she spoke this morning was the large
number of prosecutions which the
league had been able to bring against
wife deSerters. This work is taken up
when a man deserts his wife, leaving
minor child or children behind with
no means of support, and it is one OF
the important branches of the work be-
ing followed by the league.
Mr. and Mrs. stein are making
pleasure trip to Hawaii, and she is not
investigating any juvenile matters
while she is away from home.
I'VE are here just for a vacation"
said Mrs. Stein, land l think we have
come to the most lovely place in the
whole world"
Mr.. and Mrs. Stein leave on the Will

WOMAN STILL
UNCONSCIOUS

Annie Hall, an Hawaiian woman,
still lies at Queens Hospital in an
unconscious state and there are grave
fears that her injuries sustained
through a beating from George Myhre
may result far more seriously than
at first expected.
Meanwhile Myhre is being held at
the police station awaiting develop
ments He was placed under arrest
upon a charge of assault and battery,
but this may be substituted for more
serious one before the matter comes
to an end.
The ARRAY took place in a house
located on Aud Lane last Tuesday
night. The woman was badly bruised
about the head and face. She bears
one or more scalp wounds, From the
time of assault she has been uncon-
scious and nothing can be gained
from her regarding her side of the
story.

English journals and illustrated
papers have been giving much space
this month to the centenary of Mrs.
Gaskell, the novelist, author of the
famous Crawford" which America
from Maine to California knows and
loves quite as well as England,
Through her mother Mrs. Gaskell
came of sturdy Puritan stock, with
strong -Conformist principles, and
from her father, Rev. VIM. Stevenson,
who was, a Unitarian minister, settled
near Manchester she inherited not
only her literary ability but her pro-
nounced liberal ideas in religion She
lived with her aunt in Knutsford, now
one of England's literary shrines,
which provided the material for
Crawford Here in her honor the
Gaskell Memorial Tower has been
erected. Manchester, the home of her
married life, has unveiled beautiful
tablet in the Cross Street church,
Unitarian, where her husband was
minister. She gave generously of
that real kindness and charity which
marks the Unitarian belief in the
brotherhood of man, and her influ-
ence was widely felt in the better
understanding of what the Unitarian
faith stood for in England.-Word

YOUR PLEDGE, GENTLEMEN !,

Education of the youth Of Hawaii should have FIRST
CLAIM upon the REVENUES of the Ten-toy-RepubIican
party platform pledge, September 1910,
This is the pledge which every candidate of the Repubi
can party elected in the campaign of 1910 and now sitting

to support as matter of honor.
The bill avorabN reported by Senator Robinson to the
Senate making the expenses of the public schools first
charge on the revenues of the Territory fS that pledge.
To strike out that provision is direct violation of the de-
iberate and direct promise made to the people,

stake on this point but the integrity of the Republican
party as a reputable political organization

one end of this Territory to the other and in every hamlet

Following the death of the chief

Following the death Of the chief
claimant, there are numerous rumors of
the revival of what has been known as
the "Durkee claim against the gov
eminent and it is probable that advan
tage will be taken Of the publicity fol-
lowing any contest over the estate to
collect enough money from credulous
individuals to pay lawyers to make an
attempt to get this claim into the
courts again. For years people have
been selling stock" in the estate to
people who were willing to pay their
good money for long chance in the
division OF the immense claim against
the government and as the supply of
what is commonly known in the YER
nacular as "come ons'' is never ex-
hausted, there is reason to believe that
a further attempt to get more of their
money is to be made. Judges of courts
of record have not hesitated to charac-
terlze the selllng OF STOCK III the claim
as rank swindle and while it is not
known how many people have bought
it, it is known that people all over the
country have been induced to in
vest" Inquiries as to the progress
that is being made in the collection Of
the claim have come in from victims all
over the world and in numbers to war
rant the belief that stock in the claim
has found a ready market. The wild
est publicity has been given the facts
in the case but that does not seem to
have had the effect desired and the
claim hobs up again every once in a
while just as it is expected to do in
the near future.

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN ZION.
Leaders Among Voliva Forces Start
Movement to Rid Town OF Bad Ones.

Zion City has organized real live
vigilance committee, like those which
fourished in the golden west years ago,
and the committee is active. The mem
bers know each other but are pledged
to secrecy, so that, all that is known
about them is that they are Volivans.
Their first work was the driving of
nine tramps from Zion City.
The efforts of the men are to be
supplemented by those of 100 women,
who have offered to clean the city of
tramps, loafers, smokers and tough
characters. One woman, Mrs. John
Bell, offered to take the place of Mar
shall Hoover of the police if he could
not clear the city of undesirables and
100 are to march to the police station
and offer the chief the choice of doing
his duty or being presented with a
bonnet and a black skirt.
The vigilantes are to remain in ex.
istence as long as the city needs them
and promise to rid Voliva's city of
every undesirable. They are now hold
ing almost nightly meetings.
