The last speaker was Mr.. Thomas
L. Jones, who made a most e1oquent
plea tor the colored lawyer. His sub
Ject was the influence of the colored
lawyer on civilization.
Mr.. A. w. Scott furnished the mu-

FREE GARBAGE, SAYS BERNDT; UP
TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH, SAYS
MURRAY, TO KEEP TOWN CLEAN

eve have evidence that during the
work of cleanup day, rubbish ten
years old was gathered up" said e. A.
Berndt, chairman of the cleanup COM
mittee this morning. zone of the
great lessons of the day is that there
must be free collection of garbage and
rubbish. 1t will have to be made the
duty of the garbage department to
keep the city clean without collecting
any garbage dues from the various
property owners.
Some of the poorer people take any
means to avoid paying the monthly
charge for having their garbage car
ried away. Instead of leaving it for
the garbage man to get, knowing they
will have to pay fifty or twen-
ty-five cents a month for the service,
they stick it under the house, or throw
it on vacant lots, or anywhere where
il will be hidden or where they will
not be held responsible for it. All
this will continue to be done, and the
rubbish will accumulate rapidly, I'M
less a system of free collection of gar
bage is adopted at once.
Three Thousand Tons.
"Three thousand tons of garbage
will have been gathered up by the
time the work is completed. 1t will
take four days more, with the force
now at our disposal, for of course the
volunteers are no longer available. We
have the garbage men and some of
the road men, and only the garbage
and road department carts can be had
as private teams and carts are too
busy.
"The rubbish collected is being
burned. Much of it is consumed in
bonfires in the various districts. The
final residue will be burned in the
Iwilei dumping ground.
ON the meantime, l want to bring
out the fact that the accumulation OF
filth will begin again, right away, to-
Gay, unless there is free collection OF
garbage. Tons of it will be hidden
away by people who want to escape
paying garbage dues"

ANOTHER TOURIST WRITES IMPRESSIONS

Riverside Press: A. NJ. Aldrich,
Jr., formerly of Riverside, but now
on the Island Of Hawaii, writes enter
tainingly of that fascinating country.
Describing a trip to a coffee planta-
ton in a recent letter, he says:
81 wish you might have been with
me last Saturday on a trip l made 20
the largest coffee plantation on the
island. I left Honokaa after noon
and galloped off through the sugar
cane to the government road, which
runs around the island, then turned
toward the base of Mauna Kea and
for two hours rode through the un-
boken forest of koa and ohia and
kukui, past Paakau and Paauillo and
Kohalalele until I was about 5000
feet above the sea when, in passing
the summit of the hill, it all lay be-
fore me-coffee, nothing but coffee!
"The Louisson Brothers, two old
bachelors, have 800 acres of coffee
planted under the natural shade of
the most immense old forest trees
in all Hawaii, and where the forest
is not shady enough they have plant
ed during the last twenty years over
10000 graviella robusta trees to add
to the forestation. Rolling hills plant
ed far as the eye can see with cot
fee trees four feet high and eight
feet apart, their banches meeting to
form almost a jungle; leaves of 50
dark a green as to be almost black,
and polished like ebony, and every
tree loaded down with big red coffee
berries ready to ship. I have seen
some beautiful sights, but this we'll
kept coffee plantation in its wonder
full forest setting, with snow-covered
Mauna Kea at its back and the Pa
cifc below, is the finest thing in
fruit culture I have seen yet"
Again, Mr.. Aldrich, in speaking OF
the Hawaiian music, says:

SUNDAY SAILING CRUISE IN
A SMALL CRAFT IN OPEN SEA
ENDS IN DEATH OF YOUNG ATHLETE

Young Edward Schieber, a we'll
known soccer bootballer and oarsmen,
lost his life yesterday by drowning
after being capsized when about half a
mile from the bell buoy towards Wal
kik. With the unfortunate young
man at the time of the accident was
Shirley Bush, but he succeeded in
swimming to the reef and wading
ashore. The two young men went
out in the morning in w. H. McIner-
ny's Sea Wren and cruised towards
Waikiki, Schieber being at the tiller.
All went well until on the homeward
run, when the boat was about a mile
from shore and approaching the har-
Dor channel. Then the Sea Wren
capsized and both lads were thrown
into the water. They regained the
boat and scrambled onto the hull, but
as the boat began to drift seward
they decided to trust to their swim
ming capabilities rather than remain
on the upturned boat
Both are only medium swimmers,
Bush being the better of the twain,
but he is not swimmer above the
average. However, he took the lead
and made his way towards the reef,
with Schieber following behind.
During the swim to the reef Bush
noticed that Schieber was tagging
and begged of him to keep up. but
when young Bush struck the reef and
felt the rocks beneath his feet he
looked round again and could see
nothing of his companion. AS far as
Bush knows Schieber did not reach
the breakers, presumably sinking just
before he reached the rough water.
From that time nothing has been
seen of young Schieber, though boats
have been out searching for the body.
The mishap was nat actually wit
messed, by anyone except the two lads
themselves, though Charlie Crozier,
who was at the Myrtle Club boat

atmosphere that breaks down all ra-
cial lines and makes even her music
our own. 1t really is a international
sort of music, even though the ma
tive words still stick, for through It
all runs faint suggestions of the
music of all the nations that have
traded along these coasts since the
days of Captain Cook, whose monu-
ment ornaments the beach at Napoo,
poo. The old natives had only their
native chants and hulakui music, but
being quick of ear and naturally mu
steal they have built up a style of
harmony typical of their own growth
and history. We have music every
where, even the little Japanese with
their samosens are all out on these
moonlight nights singing their plan
tation songs in three notes. Some,
how the great world seems very far
away on these quiet nights in Homo
kaa."

Re.Dedicatlna Church.

WAILUKU, June 24.-The services
for the re-dedication of the Kaahu
manu- church, Waikiki, were held
last Sunday morning under most ia
vorable auspices. The weather was
perfect, and early in the morning the
guests began to arrive from different
parts of Maui. The Wailuku Sugar
Company very generously ran a spe-
cial train which brought a large num-
Der of people from Waihee for the
services. Many came also by train
from Paia and Puunene. A large
representation of Waikiki people also
helped to fill the church.
The decorations consisted of cut
flowers and palms and were beauti-
fully arranged by Mrs. Polly Kalua
and other members of the Kaahu-
manu- church. The music rendered
by a large chorus was of the best
The handsome koa pulpit chairs hal
arrived in time to be used, but the
new chandeliers for the acetylene
gas came a few days too late.
Rev. I. D. Iaea of Molokai preached
the sermon. Rev. ]. K. Kahoopii Of
Paia, George NJ. Kaaulalena of Make
ma, r. b. Dodge and the pastor of the
church, Rev. L. B. Kaumeheiwa, took
other parts. Mr.. Charles A. Wilcox
read an interesting historical sketch
of the church.
In the afternoon the Christian En-
deavor Society had a rally. In all,
over three hundred people attended
the services.
Rubber Doing Well.
HILO, June 22.-Among the passen-
gers to arrive here yesterday on the
Mauna Kea was Guy H. Buttolph, Of
the firm of Williamson & Buttolpb,
members of the Honolulu Stock Ex-
change Mr.. Buttolph will remain on
this island for about two weeks on
business. He came here from Maui,
where he has been looking after some
| important work on the rubber plan

Der Company at Nahiku. He states
that the conditions there are very
encouraging and has with him some
very fine samples of rubber which

house, missed the boys and picked up
the overturned yacht with the glasses.
He gave the alarm and went out in a
rowboat, followed some time later by
the launch Waterwitch. But he was
too late. The boys had left the boat.
When Bush reached the shore he
ran along the beach until he got a
rowboat and then pulled out to the
scene, but there was no trace or
poor young Schieber. The boats re-
manned searching for some time but
without success.
Search Again this Morning.
This morning the Young Brothers
were out again in their launch, but
saw nothing of the body. Arrange
ments were made to have a rowboat
anchored close to where Schieber
was last seen in the hope that the
body may rise today or tomorrow. II
is feared by many that Schieber did
not reach the reef because he was

though quite feasible, is not accepted
by most of those familiar with the
waters. 1t is thought by some that
the current would carry the body out
to sea and then bring it back to the
Kalihi shore, but there was practi-
cally no current outside this morning
when the Waterwitch was cruising
round.
Young Schieber was an apprentice
at the Honolulu Iron Works and was
very we'll thought of by his fellow
workmen and employers. He was an
ardent footballer and oarsman. Last
year he rowed stroke for the Myrtle's
freshman crew and this year he
would probably have had a place in
the junior crew if one were arranged.
He was only nineteen years old. He
knew how to handle a boat, having
been out many times previously, but
just how the accident happened
which resulted in the capsizing of the
craft is not known.

The County View.

"The county cannot undertake the
free collection Of garbage without
financial help from the Territory"
said Supervisor Murray. "As it is
now, we are furnishing the Territory
with the services of our six inspectors,
and the Board of Health now has six
teen. These inspectors have authority
to compel people to dispose of their
garbage properly, and our people have
no authority. They can only collect
the garbage, and this they do. They
do not leave any uncollected, but they
cannot, like Board of Health inspec-
tors, enter premises and compel peo-
pie to clean up.
Cleanup Not All Garbage.
"Of course a very large part of the
many tons of stuff gathered on Satur,
day was not garbage. People took
advantage of the occasion to cut awty
trees, cut down old banana trees, etc.,
and have this and all sorts of other
rubbish moved free. l find that since
the piles were made in some places
on Saturday, they have been added to
by various people getting rid Of debris
that is in no sense garbage.
Up To The Territory.
"Now that the city has been made
cleaner than ever before it is up to
the Board of Health inspectors to see
that it doesn't get dirty again. The
garbage service has nothing to do with
private premises. Its employees can
noe enter them without permission
They will remove all the rubbish il
the inspectors will see that it is prop
erly placed for them.
Zone Of the great difficulties of the
situation in this and other matters is
that no matter how much extra work
the Territory asks us to do, it careful
ly sees that we get no more money
Under our present finances we can
not collect garbage free. The counties
have been given lot of work which
was taken from the Territory, but the
Territorial Departments keep on, JUS
as expensive as ever"
