PROFESSOR DUBOIS TALKSOF
The REGENT RACE CONGRESS

New York.-Dr. w. e. B. Dubois de-
livered a most interesting lecture at
st. Mary's Lyceum on the Race con-
gress, which was recently held in Lon
don. The lecture possibly contained
nothing which has not already been
published in various publications, yet
1t was extremely interesting and not
the least bit monotonous. AS a rule,
Doctor Dubois seldom makes his audi.
ence laugh. On this occasion. however.
he produced laughter when he said
that at one time scientists were wont
to acclaim long heads a sign of high
est civilization, such as Germans, etc.,
but when they found that the Zulus
had the same kind of heads they were
at sea again. The doctor says it is
not SO much race problem as it is a
social problem. The problem in Africa
is simply one of labor and wages. In
Morocco, capitalists against labor.
The consensus of opinion of the lead
ing scientists was that 1t Is impossible
to draw the line between races The
color of the skin Is simply matter of
climate. In describing the suffragists
parade which was 10000 strong, eight
miles long, the doctor took occasion to
say that the greatest question that the
country has to deal with today is
what are we going to do with the
women?" The doctors highest praise
for all who took part In the congress,
saying there was all harmony. The
next meeting will be held in America.

TWENTY-ElGHTH DAY.

There were some names called in po-
lite and parliamentary language this
morning when the House recommitted
to the committee on agriculture and
immigration Concurrent Resolution No
H. which was introduced last Satur-
day This resolution orders the fores-
try board to set aside $4,000 of its
funds for the purpose of stamping out
insect pests.
The committee, of which Ed Towse
of Oahu is chairman, submitted as a
report a favorable resolution, declar-
ing that the introduction of parasites
to destroy insect pests should be en-
couraged. Sheldon of Kauai wanted to
know if Towse was sure the parasites
will be harmless.
I'VE have had bugs and bugs
brought in here" said Sheldon, "and
some of them did damage to other
things besides the bugs they were
brought in to destroy" He moved the
concurrent resolution be recommitted.
Keliinoi of Maui, who is a member
of the committee and signed the fa-
vorable report, arose and announced
that he also wanted the bill sent back.
Il heard some things as it was read
over today that | did not know were
in the measure before" he stated
This brought Towse to his feet, po-
lite and sarcastic.
This comes with very ill-grace from
a member of the committee who sign
ed the report" he said. THE member

BIT OF MOI WAHINE
Is WASHED ASHORE

Coming back to say a last farewell
on the beach belonging to the person
age for which she was named. por
tion of the hull of the Moi Wahine,
wrecked thirty miles away, washed up
near the Queens boathouse at Wal
llibi yesterday morning. lay there in
the sun for a space, and then went
back to the sea on the next ebb tide,
to the unknown from whence it will
probably never return.
The piece of wreckage which wash
ed ashore was seen first by Pete Baron,
from the window of his cottage at
Waikiki, next the Queens property,
and was recognized Immediately.
Pete worked on the hull of the ves-
sci many years ago and is familiar
with her construction, so that when
his attention was called to the piece
lying on the shore he said at once that
it belonged to the wrecked schooner
from which hut one man, Captain Sam
made his escape when she was lit by
the lighthouse tender Kullui two weeks
ago.
The strip which came ashore was
about twelve feet long and had some
of the ribs attached, it being the con-
struction of the ribs which enabled
Baron to recognize from what vessel
it came.
In her day the Moi Wahine was a
stanch little craft, but buffeting by
waves and the tropical sun did much
to impair the soundness of her hull, so
that at the time of her wreck she was
not in strong shape to withstand a
shock, it is said.
The poetical significance of the bit
of wreckage being washed ashore yes
terday morning on the beach of the
Queens property was significant to
Baron and he spoke of this when tell
ing of the event

Radical Land
Changes Urged.
Fairchild Submits Plan To Hold
Agricultural Areas By
Commission

A far-reaching change in the land
policy of the Territory is contained in
the recommendations and bill present
ed to the Senate this morning by Chair
man Fairchild of the ways and means
committee
The plan provides in brief that a
commission shall hold all lands that
have been cultivated, and lease or rent
them at it's discretion.
The important Recommendation en-
bodied in the committees report are as
follows:
In the interests of devising ways
and means to meet the crying needs of
the education and health of the in
habitants of the Territory, your com
mittee has carefully scrutinized every
source of revenue with a view to find
ing some means for raising funds to
provide, not only for the College of
Hawaii, but for the alleged underpaid
teachers of our schools, the $500 900
required for schoolhouses, as well as
other large sums necessary to be ex-
pended in reclaiming disease breeding
lands and in improving the hospitals
for our sick and unfortunates in the
asylums and on MoloSai
There have been presented to the
Legislature bills and resolutions look
ing to the raising of necessary funds
for these purposes, among them re-
Quest that Congress pay over to the
Territory cre-third Of the proceeds of
jhc custom house for the support of
the schools The so-called vested in
terests' through the leading financial
organizations here have gone upon
record as being opposed to any in
crease in the taxes at this time. Your
committee, believing that Hawaii
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1911-03-20

should be sufficient unto itself to take
care of its children and sick without
asking financial aid of Congress. has,
upon investigation, found that there
are about 10000 acres of developed ag-
ricultral lands with water belonging
to the Territory, which lands are under
lease to corporations and in many in
stances at very low rentals. Upon the
expiration of these leases, should the
lands and water be withdrawn from
the restrictions or obligations of the
Organic Act and placed in the hands
of board of, say, five members. the
chairman of which should be the Gov
ernor, we have ample evidence to war
rant the prophecy that these lands
and water would bring i4to the Terri
tory in rents and taxes at least $400,-
600 a year, which revenue should be
available only for appropriations in
the interests of education and health.
Some may oppose this idea on the
ground that the withdrawal of the de-
veloped agricultural lands from the
provisions of the Organic Act for
homesteaders would interfere with
homesteading.
"Your committee is assured that as
much and more undeveloped land and
water is available for such purpose, to
which they recommend homesteaders
be given free access, if deemed ad
vsablo, but it does not seem fair to
the inhabitants of the Territory that
developed lands and water, capable of
producing such large yearly revenue,
being equivalent to per cent. on S.
100000, should be practically given
away to a small percentage of the in
habitants of the Territory, or to i'm

tion to the measure, but asking fur
ther time Towse moved that the reso-
luton be adopted, in spite of the iin-
icky ideas of a gentleman who WAS
asleep or absent when the matter was
discussed" he concluded However,
the House sent the bill back to the
committee.
The House received from the Senate
this morning III. b. No. Q. relating To
the salaries of certain deputy sheriffs.
The Senate amended the bin to raise
the salary of the deputy sheriff of
South Hilo to $500 year, nearly $500
more than provided for by the House.
The House quickly concurred in the
amendment, however.
A petition was received from 176 res
idents of upper Nuuanu Valley and
others asking that the former Queen
Emma property be set aside as a pub
lie park. The petition, which was in
troduced by Towse, states that there
is great lack of playground room for
the children of three hundred families,
and that with the extension of the
Rapid Transit line the throwing open
of the property would be of lasting
benefit.
The visit of the Legislators yester-
day to Molokai resulted in 4 bunch of
resolutions designed to afford relief to
lepers. Hale of Hawaii introduced
resolution to raise tho ration allowance
of the residents Of the settlement from
SO to $40 per year, and also that in

of the measure have not been made
