The motion to set aside the decree
in Markle versus Marllle was based on
the ground that the Judge was without
jurisdiction to hear and determine the
case.
Section 2230 reads. "The judge shalt
not entertain jurisdiction of the libel
until at least thirty days after srch
personal service shall have been com
pleted." .n

of libelee being out of the Territory,

THINKS JAPANESE
ARE TOO CRASHING

HILO, August s.-"If the Japanese
want to tax us for using their schools
in case of need, let their children stay
at home"
Thus Supervisor Lyman thinks it
best to deal with those who grasp the
benefits given them by the local educa-
tiOnal system, at the same time being
unwilling to make any return.
The matter came up at the meeting
of the Hawaii supervisors last week,
when a demand for $50 rent for the
use of Japanese sch0olhouse at
Kealakekua was demanded, the prem
ises having been used owing to the fact
that the regular schOolhouse did not
offer sufficient accommodations
''DO we ask the Japanese to pay for
attending our schoolsfp asked Lyman.
Supervising Principal McCluskey
wanted the board to pay rent for a
Japanese schOolroOm at PapaikOu UNI
der similar circumstances a short time
ago. Il told him how | felt about it,
and he is paying it out Of his own
pocket. If the Japs want to tax us for
the use OF their rooms, let their chill.
dren stay at home. We are doing
enough for them by giving them a free
public education.
Lyman finally agreed TO have the
$50 bill paid, which had already been
incurred, but wanted TO 20 ON record

REV. OLESlh SPOKE
ABOUT BIG BOSTON
MISSION EXPOSITION

From Thursdays AdNcfiiacr.l
Before an audience of about one hun.
dred people. che Rev. W. D. Olcson last
night AZ the Central Union parish house,
delivered an interesting address about
the recent great missionary exposition
that was held In boston, The exposi.
tion was opened on April 81, and con.
tinued for one month. Missionaries from
an over the world attended, and courts
representing all parts Of the civilized
and upcivilized parts OF the globe were
established.
over four hundred thousand paid ad-
missions were made during the four
weeks that the exposition was open,
said Mr.. oleson, and he added that
while the receipts we're about 100000,
the expenses were just about the same.
The day the exposition was opened at
the Mechanics Hall, in Boston, six
thousand people walked in the process
sion to the hall. Fully four thousand
Others were at the hall when the parade
arrived and, in all, ten thousand people
thronged the enormous building.
Every denomination was represent
ed, - said Mr. Oleson last night, land
the mayor of Boston, who is Roman
Catholic. made fine address,
Exhibits were to be seen from ev-
erywhere where the devoted mission
aries labor. and the greatest interest
was shown in the courts. Hawaii was
well represented and, principally, by
pictures and photographs One hun
bred and seventy-three feet of wall,
eight feet in height, was allowed for
the Hawaiian exhibit. Paintings by
Hitchcock were much in evidence, and
the exhibits from Oahu College, Kane
hameha schools, Hilo Boarding school,
the board of education, the promotion
committee. the College of Hawaii, the
Y NJ. G. A. and many other institu-
tions. were attractively displayed.
1.-The daily pageant was a wonderful
sight, remarked Mr.. Oleson, "and it
drew the crowd every day. The Prin-
cess Kapiolani incident that is so well
known. was represented and it was well
carried out. The defying of Pele and
the throwing off of Pagan witchcraft
was shown, and the lady who repre-
scented the princess carried in her hand
the same book that the princess used on
great occasions.
President Taft opened the exposition
by pressing an electric button in Wash
ington. The President sent telegram
to the chairman of the exposition and q
reply was sent to him.
Mission workers from Turkey, China
Hawaii, India. Burma, Japan, Africa
and all other parts of the world mingled
together and it mattered not whether
they were Methodists, Church of Eng
land, Wesleyans or any other denomina
ton, all were friends, and many inter
esting missionary stories were ex
changed.
Mr.. Oleson spoke for about an hour
and he was listened to with the deepest
interest.

CALLED HIS FAMILY;
THEN shot HIMSELF

HILO, August S.--Morimoto Goro, a
well-known Waiakea Japanese, who had
been employed for years by the Hilo
Railroad Company as tender of the
bridge across the Wailoa river, com
mitted suicide by shooting himself last
Saturday morning.
Deputy Sheriff Fetter made careful
investigation of the case and found
that the deceased had been drink
ing heavily for some time past.
He had been suffering from continuous
pains in the head and from insomnia.
A couple of days prior to his death
he had sought medical advice, his case
being at that time diagnosed as partial
mental arrangement, caused by chronic
indulgence in alcohol
On Saturday Goro got up and called
his wife, who left the house. Goro
then told his son to get up. The boy
heard the father descend to the lower
story to room occupied by another
Japanese. A moment later he heard q
shot and ran downstairs. There he
found his father lying on the floor with
a revolver in his hand. He had fired
one shot through his throat, the bullet
severingtthe jugular, whence a squirt OF
blood was shooting forth. The unfor.
tunate man died in few minutes from
hemorrhage.
A coroner IS jury returned verdict
of suicide, The deceased leaves a
widow and several children.

HIL0 TO BLOCK THE
SALE or ARMORY
DEvIsING A WAY TO SCARE
OFF PURCHASERS OF
THAT SITE.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser)
HILO, August S.-The county and
territorial administrations are at it
again. The temple of Janus is open,
and again Campbell and Frear on one
side and the supervisors ON the ether
are locking horns in dea lily combat
This me IT is the removal of the
armory which is the bone of contention.
Campbell has said, in his capacity of
superintendent of public works, that
the armory must be moved. The super
visoss say it must not, and while Camp
bell seems at present to hold the
stronger hand, the supervisors are pre-.
pairing to fight to the last ditch and
are even talking of bringing the matter
before the eoarts or takfag over the
site by condemnation proceedings.
At the meeting of the county fathers
last week the following resolution was
introduced and adopted with unanimous
enthusiasm:
Whereas, there is to be sale OF
the Hilo Armory site, on OF about the
18th day of August, A. D. 1911; an ]
"Whereas, the Hilo Armory, located
on the said site, is the only public build
ing in the City of Ailo where large
public gatherings can be held; and
Whereas, the public of the County
Of Hawaii should have "a pablo build.
ing and pubic site centrally located
in the City of Hilo
"TherefOre be it resolved, by the
board of supervisors in and for the
County of Hawaii, that the Governor
and the superintendent of public work,
of the Territory of HAWAII be request
ed to set aside the said Hilo Armory
site, together with the building there
on, for the use and benefit of tn,
citizens of the City of Hilo and County
of Hawai-.
And be it further resolved, that tn,
county clerk be and he is hereby in
strIcted to send copies of this resolu
tion to the Governor and the superin
tendent of public works"
After the meeting the county fatheri
were discussing ways and means o.
getting their way, even if the terri
torial authorities should refuse tt
grant their request to leave the armor,
in its present place. The county at
torney's devartment was asked to star
injunction proceedings in case any NOV
were made to remove the armory, bu
it does not seem likely that such
step would meet with success. Anothe
plan, which seems more feasible,
that the county condemn the propert
the moment it has been sold by th
Territory to some private party. Tn
main objection to this plan is the fac
that it would mean that the count
would virtually be transferring tn
, amount of the purchase price from tn
county Golfers to the territorial treas
ure chest. However, the supervisor
feel that they are legally able to bloc
. the blilung of spur tracks from tn
main track of the Hilo Railroad Com
,pany to the site, on which II is pro
posed to erect warehouses, and the.
