REV. WESTERVELT WRITES OF THE

Professor Shepherd on his return to

the successful attempt to secure the

Rev. w. D. Westerveldt in the Para

August 20, 1911.
Dear Mr.. Westervelt:

more or less connected, but in no

how it could be properly done without

the general argument If you wish to
use it, l trust you will go ahead and
write the actual article yourself. You
have also my august permission to
drop it in the volcano if you wish. l
think the article should be part of
your series and under your name; all
have tried to do is to state the
facts as simply as | could.

"E. G. SHEPHERD"
With all due respect to Professor

KAHN'S LAST TALK IN HIL0 ABOUT
THE FRUIT FLY ANO. OTHER PESTS

HILO Sept. 25.-Among the most
important statements made by Con-
gresham julius Kahn while visiting
Hilo was one to the effect that upon
his return to Washington he would
take up the matter of the extermina'
ton of the Mediterranean fly from the
Territory with Secretary Wilson of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and work with every effort to
have the federal government take a
greater part in the prevention OF the
spread of that and other pests in the
islands. He stated that he had nc
patience with the statement made by
the Territorial men that they could
not expect to keep the Mediterranean
fly out of this island, and that he die
not consider this a matter in which
Hawaii alone was interested, but as
one which was of extreme importance
to the entire Pacific Coast. In speak
ing of this matter he said:

ship that has ever come up the POto-

permitting her to clear the Kettle Bot

unseaworthy were disproven, but the
Texas men never had fair chance to
prove her fighting ability, not even in
the Spanish war.
The target practice that brought to
a close the career of the Texas, is re-
garded by navy men as the most bene-
fetal that the American navy has ever
experienced. 1t gave officers and men
a chance to note the effect of their fire

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The old
battleship Texas, notorious as the
Jonah" ship of the navy, now lies in
a scrap heap on the bottom of Tan
gier Sound, not thirty miles from the
spot where she was built as the pride
of the American navy. All that re-
mains of this once resplendent war
vessel is a pile of torn and twisted
junk. Her massive armor, designed to
defy the guns of the worlds navies,
was as rotten wood before the great
twelve-inch rifles on the present-day
battleship.
The great dreadnought Delaware,
one of the finest and most powerful
ships of the navy, completed the WORK
of destruction that was begun when
the Texas-later christened the San
MarcOs-was first used as a target sew
eral months ago. In rapid firing with
the big guns, at long range, the Della
ware scored eighty-seven hits. The
navy department will offer the ruined
hulk to the highest bidder for junk
The successful bidder will have to use
dynamite to disentangle the mass OF
steel that remains.

ways. Because of accidents and the

HILO, Sept. 25.-County Engineer
Southworth returned from a trip
around the island last week, during
which he took up a number of mat
ters of general importance, among
which was the construction of new
rooms for a number of schools. IN
this connection Mr.. Southworth was
very outspoken in regard to the he.
havior of some of the school princi-
pals who have, according to his state.
ment, taken advantage of their posi-
ton to work hardship on the teachers
under them. Mr., Southworth referred
especially to a case at Hakalau, IN
this connection he said;
81 am very anxious to see Super
vising Principal Horner take up with
him the matter of teachers accommo-
dations at Hakalau, The supervisors

eral appropriation made to assist in
the work of extermation, which should
be carried out in the most thorough
manner possible.
"The talk of your Territorial men
to the effect that it cannot be kept
from this island is ridiculous. We
have seen in California what a strict
quarantine can do in cases of this
kind. In Mexico, just across the Dor
derline, is a worm which has effect
ually destroyed the orange industry.
We enforce the strictest kind of a
quarantine against oranges from Mex
leo and the result has been that the
pest has never entered California, and
while our greatest industry in the
southern portion of the state is in
growing oranges, it has been preserved
only by means of quarantine. If we
can enforce a quarantine like that
with the long borderline to cover,
there is no reason that similar quar-
antine cannot be enforced on this
island, where you have comparatively
few vessels which might bring in the
pest and they arrive at only a few
points.

Sheriff May Resign.
HILO, Sept, 25.-It is reported here,
unoficially, that Deputy Sheriff Fer
nandez, of the Hamakua district, is
about to hand in his resignation. He
was a town visitor last week, and
while he said nothing about quitting
to Sheriff Pua, told a number of his
friends in this city that he had decided
to take this move and would come to
Hio to live in the near future. He
has recently bought some land in this
city and seems to be preparing to
make it his permanent home.
There is at the present time but one
applicant for his position, if the va
cancy should come soon-John X Kea-
loha of Honokaa, the principal of the
Ahualoa school, He evidently believes
that the life of a police official is
more satisfactory one than that of a
school teacher for the salary of the
deputy amounts to only $75 per
month, which is probably little more
than his present pay and the tenure
of the deputy's position is dependent
entirely upon the favor of the sheriff.

people never knew that name in the
past, but in their legends called it Lua-
Pele or Pit Of Pele"-the home OF
Pele, the goddess of fire. Here she
commanded lavas to burn fiercely and
to break out in glorious fountains of
tossed masses of fire-rock Here in
her anger she tore out masses of her
brittle hair, letting the wind whirl
them over the lava fields surrounding
her pit of fire. Here were the fire.
dances; when, wrapped in filmy gowns
of blush smoke, Pele and her sisters
swept back and forth over the lake of
fire, their footballs causing hundreds
of boiling bubbles to rise and burst
until the entire surface was a restless
sea of melted lava covered with chop
py waves of fire. 1t is no wonder that
the Hawaiians called this place Lua.
Pele, and to me there is only regret
that the poorer name House of
Ferns" has come, perhaps to stay.
Hale-mau-mau does not mean Ever
lasting House as some suppose. The
correct translation for Everlasting
House would be "Hale-mau-loa."
Professors Perrett and Shepherd
came to make a scientific study of
Lua-Pele as far as their limited time
allowed. They had a small house
built on the brink of the crater and
lived there that they might continually
be in touch with all the activity of
the crater.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Sept. 16.
Columns of eulogistic references to M.
Stolypin are appearing in the Russian
papers and even some of those of lib
eral tendencies give the stricken pre-
mier credit for sincerity of motives
and express sympathy for him and
his family. The only foreign COM
ment published here is favorable to
Stolypin and discloses an apparent
confidence is his policy of governing
the Russian empire single handed and
abolishing courts of law and coun-
sellers.

cabled to The Daily News, that every
