Ian committed suicide in Boston on Sat

The Durlands leased the Earle prop

the same during the summer. Directly
following the suicide OF Durland. Earle
brought an action to oust the Durlands
from his property, charging noncom-
pliance with the terms of the lease. and
had their furniture and other belongings
stored in the barn upon his premises.

Situation in the Philippines.

There is a demand in the Philippine
Islands for a definite declaration of the
future policy of the United States in
respect to the islands. The friends OF
the independence movement have been
very active during the past year in pre-
- scnting their views to the American
people, and there is no doubt that they
will make ali effort TO influence Con-
gress i'll their behalf during the ap-
preaching session 1t would seem.
however, as if the independence of the
Philippines is a matter which cannot
be assured in the immediate future. The
Filipinos have neither army nor navy,
and they would be helpless if Japan, for
instance, should cast an acquisitive eye
in their direction
Under the supervision OF the United
States the Filipinos have progressed
during tine thirteen years of American
occupation. They have grown more ed
ucated and they have been taught the
value OF improved hygienic conditions.
Unfortunately, the commercial develop
ment has not kept pace with other civil
izlng factors. Primarily an agricultural
country, the production of food supplies
has not proportiOnately increased, and
It IS even asserted that economic con-
ditions have retrograded 1t is a fact
that capital has declined to interest itself
largely in the islands, simply because the
future is uncertain and because political
agitation for independence continues.
1t is to be expected that the United
States will continue to exercise a guard
IanshiP over the islands, but this fact
ought to be specifically announced The
declaration of definite policy of re-
tention would Immediately be followed
by a rapid development of the unsur-
passed natural resources of the coun-
try, due to the influx of capital; and
the country would come into its own
economically and commercially. The
granting of immediate independence be-
ing out of the question, there remain
two possible alternatives: a definite
promise of independence after a certain
number of years, or the establishment
OF an autonomous form of government
under the protection of the American
nag. The former alternative would
quiet the elamors for immediate indie
peildenee, would satisfy tie anti-im-
perialists, would enable our government
TO work out its far Eastern policy along
definite lines, and would be of immense
economic advantage to the country, due
to the consequent cessation of political
agitation. Establishment of a protec-
orate or similar form of autonomous
government would have similar results.
and would benefit the FiIipinos and
the American government
Whatever course the government pur-
sues. it is imperative that it de-
eide upon It soon and definitely. for

Judge Cooper's name has been
mentioned on previous occasions as
a successor to Chief Justice Hart
well. When spoken to with regard
tC the matter Judge Cooper said that
he would certainly accept the posi-
ton if it were rendered to him, but
he stated that he would not be an APP
plicant for the office. He explained
that 20 apply for such position was
not compatible with the dignity of
the office.
Chief Justice Erartwell was born in
Dedham, Massachusetts, on June II.
1886, and is, therefore in his seventy
fifth year. He was educated at Har-
ward, and received the degree of A.
b. in 1858 and that of L. b. in 1867.
He had a distinguished career in the
Union ranks of the Civil War. and
was promoted to lieutenant, captain,
Northumberland and brlgadier-
eral The lasj-named title was gained
for gallantry while in command of a
brigade at the battle of Honey Hill.
In this battle he received four wounds,
and had horse killed under him.
At the conclusion of the war, the
Chief Justice resumed his interrupted
course in the Harvard Law School.
He practiced Law in Boston until
1868, in which year he received the
appointment of first associate justice
of the Supreme Court of Hawaii. He
held this position until 1874. when he
became Attorney General in the reign
of King Kalakaua. He held this
position for few months only, but
accepted Office once more in December
1876, resignlng in July 1878. In 1904
he was appointed associate justice
OF the Supreme Court, and on August
10, 1907 he was appointed to his
present position filling the vacancy
caused by the appointment of Cover

BARTENDERS VS..

The charity baseball match between
the bartcnders and the actors in the
city will be played on Sunday next at
the league grounds, Moiliili. Consid-
cradle interest has been awakened in
this event as the players are all we'll
known round about town and fans are
anxious to see how they will handle
the ball. The game is not expected to
be a skilul exhibition, but it will be
no SLOUGH. There are players on both
mines who can hit the ball up some,
and the fact that the match is for
charity will no doubt draw an i'm
mense crowd to the grounds. The
line-ups of the teams will be as fol-
lows:

pacity here on behalf of Parramatta.
The match will take place in Sydney
on July /. and here on July 2. The
difference i'm dates Is due to Sunday
shooting being forbidden in Sydney.
The scores will be sent by mail, so
that they will leave Sydney by the
zealandia on July 3, and will leave
Honolulu by the Makura, on July 81,
three days after the Sydney scores ar
rive here.
There is not the slightest difficulty
anticipated in arranging this match,
for il is a well established fact that
the Parrammatta team is composed of
some excellent sportsmen, who follow
the game as a pastime. They do not
care whether they win or lose, but, Of
course. they prefer to win. A peculiar
part of the whole affair will be that
the Parrammata boys will be shoot
ing in the dead of winter, while Homo
lulu will shoot in the summer heat.
The reason why the date has been fix
ed so far ahead is ia order to give
Parrammata an opportunity of making
adjustments should there be anything
that is not quite satisfactory.
It is to be sincerely hoped that this
match will be arranged, for besides
giving an impetus to rife shooting

SPORT NOTES

The inter-scholastic soccer season
commenced yesterday, a match be-
tween the Kamehameha and the High
School taking place on the Kameha-
meha grounds. The game was a fast
one and resulted in victory for the
home team by one goal to nil The
only goal in the match was scored by
Walter Kamaiopili, in a melee in front
of the High Schools goal. On the
whole the Kamehameha boys had the
better of the game and deserved their
success, though the High School boys
put up a stubborn defence.
