Officials to Probe Grievances
of Prisoners.

After a months vacation, Judge William
H. De Lacy. judge OF the Juvenile
Court, returned to the bench yesterday
He was sent by the Commissioners to
represent the District at the annual
convention Of the International Institute
of Criminology in Boston.
Judge De Lacy had planned an ex-
tensive tour. but soon after his vaca-
tion started. he sprained his ankle, and
was forced TO remain at home. He is
still troubled somewhat by his ankle.
To-day Judge De Lacy will accompany
Commissioner Rudolph to Occoquan,
where the District workhouse will be
inspected. A number OF prisoners have
complained TO the judge of conditions at
the institution. They have declared that
the buildings are improperly screened.
and that the prisoners are tormented by
the flies and mosquitoes. 1t is also al
legged by some OF the inmates that liquor
is both sold and given gratis to prisoners
at the workhouse
Commissioner Rudolph recently made
a trip to the institution, and found that
conditions were excellent. He was so
delighted with the inspection that he
invited Judge De Lacy TO visit the work.
house with him. so that the Judge might
see for himself the falsity of the charges
made.
Judge Calian will be on the bench in
the absence of Judge De Lacy.

GAINS ENvIABLE RECORD.
Bliss Electrical School Has Ex-
cellent Course.

ceI1enC COurAes
Bliss Electrical School has a distinct
place in the educational world No other
institution attempts to give a complete
course in electricity, both theoretical and
practical, in a single year. Hundreds of
successful graduates testify to the eff
cheney of the course
The plan of instruction has been the
same throughout the entire history of
the institution; namely, the combination
of theory with practical instruction.
First. the principals are taught Then
the student is required to apply these
principles in operative apparatus. which
lie himself constructs. The study of
mechanical drawing assists him to a bet
ter knowledge of principles, and to ex-
press them on paper and apply them
practically.
While ample time is allowed for need
full exercise and recreation, the entire
spirit of the school is that of industry.
Faculty and students alike are intent
upon accomplishing the greatest possible
amount during the school term. Habits
Of industry and application are acquired
by students, which are most valuable
throughout after life. The location of
the school In Takoma Park, one Of Wash
ington's most attractive suburbs, is of
douDle advantage, In that II Is distant
from the distractions of the city, and the
student is constantly mingling with other
young men having like aspirations along
electrical lines as himself.
The school is primarily for the young
man of good character, energy, and am
bition, who has not the time or the
money to take a college course. BY
eliminating such culture subjects as his
tory. literature, languages, &c, and con-
stantly pushing ahead on the one all
absorbing topic of electricity, the student
is given a comprehensive knowledge Of
every branch of the science. Hs gets
sufficient training to make a success in
his chosen profession, If he has grit,
determination. and perseverance. If he
lacks these elements, no amount Of study
would bring success.
Following are the officers and directors
of the institution: Louis D. Bliss, presi-
dent and founder; Charles F. Nesbit, vice
president; Edwin s. La Fetra, secretary
and treasurer; George Francis Williams.
COUNSEL: John A. Chamberlain, William

THE THEATERS

Tonight will see the reopening of
the Orpheum Theater, when the only
lady hypnotist of the world will make
her first appearance in Honolulu and
will be assisted by Barnett, the man
with the green eyes," The Bijou and
the Empire will share in the distribu-
ton of new talent imported by the Ho-
nolulu Amusement Company. There
should be large crowds at the three
theaters tonight, for there will be
something new and good at all three.
The Bijou.
AS though the Eldids were not thrill
ing enough, with their wonderful cy-
Gle feats, Fox and Claire have been
added These two are marvellous
rife shots, and their feats are even
more thrilling than those of the Ed
ids, for they are shooting dollars from
each others faces with bullets. The
new turn will no doubt prove popular,
for it is a novelty that has not been
seen here for many years.
The Eldids are introducing some
new turns tonight, and they will ma
terially assist in making the bill pre-
sented the strongest one that has ever
been shown at the Biiou under the
present management.
Madam Leonora Harrison will sing
some new songs.
The Empire.
Miss Louise Bright will begin her
Honolulu season under the manage
ment OF the Honolulu Amusement
Company at the Empire tonight. She
comes here with an excellent reputu
ton for her singing, and should be-
come a great tavorlte with Empire
audiences, for a good singer is always
appreciated in this city.
The Bell Trio has gone back to the
Empire again, and they may be sure
of warm welcome. These boys have
won a lot of friends during their sea-
son mere, and deservedly so.
The Hagans will present a new
sketch tonight. They promise some
thing entirely different from what they
have presented so far. They should
be better than ever tonight, for their
turn is undoubtedly a good one.

GETTING NEAR TO NATURE.

1t was not always perfectly clear at
first thought just what Ben Caldon
meant when he spoke. The best a
nearer could do was to guess at the
most obvious meaning and let it go
at that. In the matter of a captive
moose, which belonged to Ben, the
doctor followed this course. The
moose was undoubtedly sick, and a
veterinary had been summoned to at
tend him. Ben went out to the pen to
assist the doctor.
rs he mortal, doc?" asked Ben, with
extreme concern.
Are you asking if he is sick?"
hazarded the doctor.
Sure" replied Ben, "only l meant
is he goin' to die from it?"
Its too soon to tell you yet" re-
piled the doctor, "but he has pneu.
monia pretty badly"
Ben's eyes grew round with sur
prise. Pneumonia in his experience
had been confined to humankind.

weeks. They will be held under the
direction of General Crozier, in con-

regarding aeronautic warfare. The va

possible to fire, the best means Of

should settle.

Inspectors Are Busy Watching Frauds

THE efforts of the government and
l the various states to provide pure
food for the people Of the country
has brought about a higher quality of
foodstuffs, but it has not deferred the
inventive genius of the country from
trying to work out schemes for sub
stitutes and authorizations.
State food and drug inspectors re-
ceive scores of letters and circulars
from alleged chemists and get-rich-
quick men who would make grocers
and butchers their tools.
Probably the worst adulteration
that has come to the attention of the
department is butter emulsion
which will cause the butter to absorb
it's exact weight in water and still
prevent the butter eaters knowing 1t.
Take pound of butter and a pound
of water and a spoonful of this emul-
sion, work the three together for
about ten minutes, and there is two
pounds of butter and no water. The
average housewife could not tell the
difference between this watered but
ter and the real article.
A man in Tennessee has developed
scheme by which he can make a
pure apple cider vinegar at an actual
cost of four cents gallon. and using
one apple for each gallon. The fraud
could not be detected except by an
actual chemical test. The same chap
also has a scheme for making apple
