HILO AWAITS INVESTIGATION;
AND WANTS A NEW PRINCIPAL

Especial Correspondence Of the starr
! HlLO, April 10.-At the present
time there seems to be but one sub
ject for general discussion in Hilo-
the row in the High School. The
parents Of the children who attend
the High School seem to be very
greatly in favor Of Mrs. Compton and
Just as strongly against Principal
Richmond, though there are those
who think that the latter will clear
himself of the charges which have
been made against him.
School Inspector Gibson comes in
for the most severe criticism in con
nection with the case. lie came
here to investigate the charge made
by Principal Richmond that Mrs.
Compton was insubordinate. From
the start to finish, his friends say, he
appeared to be prejudiced, living at
the home of one Of the teachers who
had testifid against Mrs. Compton,
failing to keep appointments which
would have brought forth testimony
in her favor. 1t is charged that he
reached his decision before going
deeply into the matter.
1t is stated that the only defense
offered by Mrs. Compton was that
her insubordination was forced
that she was the subject Of a petty
persecution at the hands Of the prin-
cipal of the school till as a nervous
woman easily might, she flared back
at him on a couple of instances.
When asked to testify in her own be-
half she asked simply that Inspector
Gibson should also investigate the
reasons why such charges had been
made and left the matter in his

REV. JAMES ALEXANDER
DIED IN OAKLAND YESTERDAY

A cablegram received by Alexan-
der & Baldwin yesterday annonced
the death or Rev. James Mckinney
Alexander of Oakland, Cal, from
heart failure. The news was a great
shock to his relatives here, as there
had been no intimation that he was
not in his usual health.
Rev. Alexander was born on Kauai
about seventy-six years ago, and was
the second son of Rev. William p.
Alexander, one Of the early mission
aries. He was educated at Punahou
and Williams Colleges, later taking a
theological course and being ordained
as a clergyman. A sunstroke, suffered
during his college days. so seriously
affected him. however, that with the
exception of a pastorate of some
years at San Leandro, Cal, he has
been unable to follow his chosen pro-
fession except on special occasions.
He married Miss Mary f. Webster Of
Brooklyn, Cal, about 1868, and she
and their four children, Frank Alex
ander, the new manager of McBryde
Plantation, Dr. Edgar Alexander Of
San Francisco. and two married
daughters, Edith and Sadie are still
living.
The deceased returned to the =
islands about 1870 and engaged in |
cane cultivation at Haiku and Pail |
for several years, returning later 70
Oakland, where he has resided ever
since. He was a brother Of DR.. VIII
liam d. Alexander of Honolulu, of
the late Samuel T. Alexander of Oak
and. of the late Henry NJ, Alexander
Of Haiku and the late Charles H. Al
sxander of Hamakuapolo. He leaves
Jour sisters, Miss Mary Alexander Of
Oakland, Mrs. Charles II. Dickey of
honolulu, Mrs. Henry P. Baldwin OF
Maui and Mrs. Giulio Terrier of
Milan, Italy.
Mr. Alexander was the author or

I Under the above provision of the
Organic Act it is claimed, it is the
duty Of the present Legislature o
reapportion the membership Of the
House and Senate for the next SEES
sion, in accordance with the new
census figures just received.
The reapportionment would give
Oahu quite an important gain. and
there is opposition to it from other
islands. in fact, some OF the Oahu
members do not care to take the
matter up, and it may not be fought
out. In that event, it is thought,
Congress will do the apportioning
according to population. In the case
of the first Legislature, It is pointed
out, there was a similar neglect. The
Organic Act provided that the Legis-
lature should choose which senators
should have the long terms, but eff
forts to hold a joint session and de-
eide the matter was abortive, and
after the Legislature adjourned Con-
gress passed an act covering the sub
ject.
The figures relating to the citizen
population Of Hawaii have just been
received. The population by dis
tricts and islands are Hawaii, ga,

tive district 22.1OS, fifth district,

i've district, 1888.

Of Kaalualu, and in the vicinity OF
said Kaalualu.
That such proposed change of To-
cation and of operations by said COM
pany would involve the desertion by
ii of several thousands of acres now
in cultivation and of other large
tracts, now held by bona fde home
steaders, within the sphere of it's
present operations which are now
available to it for sugar cultivation,
or for cultivation by homesteaders
with the opportunity for said COM
pany to purchase the cane so raised
by such homesteaders, and is further
founded, as the undersigned believe,
upon a desire and project on the
part Of said company to diminish
and virtually destroy the value of the
holdings of such homesteaders, by
depriving them of facilities for the
marketing Of such sugar as they may
raise upon their several holdings.
THAT there are now held by such
homesteaders ABBOTT 500 acres of first
class cane land upon which said oom-
pany formerly cultivated cane, but in
respect of which said company, APP
parently out of resentment over the
taking of said lands and their allot-
ment to homesteaders, refuses to con-
tract with said homesteaders for the
raising of cane, or the purchase of
such cane, that may be raised by
said homesteaders."

KAU RESIDENTS. PROTEST
AGAINST DITCH FRANCHISE

Representative Yates today pre-
scented in the House a petition from
thirty-four' residents of Kau protest
ing against the bill to grant John T
McCrosson franchise for fifty years
for an irrigation ditch. They say
that the franchise will thwart the
plans for homesteading in the dis
trict, and prevent homesteaders from
oultivating sugar cane at a profit
They go on to say:
Question Good Faith.
THAT the undersigned question the
good faith of said project as a means
of bringing public lands now lying
under cultivation and charge that
the basis of the project is de-
sire to conduct such waters entirely
uast the present sugar producing
lands in the district of Kau, to the
end that large tracts now privately
owned in the vicinity of Kaalualu
may be improved under cultivation,
and rendered vastly more valuable
than at present.
Afraid Of Plantation.
That said project involves, as the
undersigned believes, a further prof.
ect for the abandonment by the

pany (said company being the only
planting concern in West Kau and
having now under its control virtually
all the valuable lands in West Kau),

How he could maintain a boat that

about Vallejo. 1t is possible that the
motor boat may explain the means by
which the bulky clothing said to be
missing was removed, if it was re-
moved, from the Independence.
A part of the alleged crooked work
on board the independence lay in is
suing short outfits to recruits brought

listment outfit. Subsequently he
buys his clothing from his clothing

that the artillery force for Honolulu
