kauai ROAST OF HONOLULU OFFICIALS

Garden Island More than a score
of passengers were held on board the
S. S. Hall for nearly five hours this
morning as a result of an order from
a Honolulu quarantine official who is
evidently not only entirely destitute of
even the least regard for the public
welfare but also has apparently little
if any knowledge of the prevailing
local conditions as they actually exist.
On the Halls last trip here, a similar
delay occurred, but as regulations had
just been re-established there was
some allowance to be made In the
case of the hold-up this morning
however there is absolutely no rea-
son, other than pure and unadulter-
ated negligence upon the part of the
Honolulu official, who appears to be
a being in whom reason has never
been developed

STRANGE FREAKS Of THE HEALTH

CHINESE BUSINESS MEN PLAN VISIT

PORTLAND, Ore, April 15.-Presi-

This very disagreeable state of af-
fairs is due entirely to the fact that
Honolulu officials are eternally and
forever engaged in muddle. of disa-
greement, never being able to agree
on an issue of even the least impor-
lance. 1t does seem, however, that
they should realize the necessity Of
pulling together during a pestilence

and in the name of common decency,

once, unite in doing all within their
power to cooperate with representa-

The Tri-Weekly Handicraft, pub
lished by pupils of Kamehameha
Schools, contains the following let
ter from Professor U. Thompson:
My dear MIR. Horne:-The boys and
girls may be interested in few facts
about the Subway in this city. But
first let me tell them that there are
three kinds of cars on which people
get about the city: First, there are
the surface cars, that is, cars that run
on tracks on the streets, as the cars
in Honolulu run. Second, there are
the Elevated cars; that is, cars that
run on tracks from fifteen to thirty
or even fifty feet above the surface
cars. Third, there are the Subway
cars; that is, cars that run on tracks
under the surface cars and under the
buildings and streets. The Subway
tracks are in a great tunnel. This
tunnel was cut by the city of New
York, and the tracks were laid by the
city, and the city owns the tunnel and
the tracks.
But the cars are owned and run by
a Company called the marlborough
Company. The tunnel and tracks
cost about $5O,OOO,OOO. The Company
pays the city rent for the use of this
tunnel and the track.
There are stations every few blocks
from five to ten blocks between the
stations. There are covered stairs
for people to go down to the cars or
to come up from the cars. And in a
few places (where the tracks go
through hills so that the tracks are
deem under the street,, there are ele-
vators to carry passengers up and
down. The whole tunnel is finished
in iron and stone; and the stations
are finished in steel, cement and
tiles. The whole is kept very clean,
so there is very little dust.
Every car is built of steel. The
only pieces of wood in a car are few
strips on the steel floor so that you
won't have to walk on the steel floor.
Each car has door at each end, ana
another door at each side, in the m1o-
die. Each car has one man to open
and close the doors, These doors do
not swing on hinges, but move on roll
ers and are moved by means of lev
ers. All doors are kept locked while
the train is in motion, so you cant
jump off and take header as the
Japanese do in Honolulu.
There are two kinds of trains
first, the local trains, which stop at
every station. Second, the express
trains, which stop only four times in
the busy part of the city. The local
trains run just as fast while they are
running; but they make so many
stops that they take twice as long,
or longer to go long distances as the
express trains take.
The city of New York is laid out
in blocks which are one twentieth
of a mile wide and one tenth of mile
long.
The long way of the block is
across the city, while the short way
of the block is up and down the city,
So when you are going up town or
down town, and walk twenty blocks
you have walked a mile. In the low
err part of the city-the old part-the
streets are named after some man nr

NEW YORK, April 15.-The plan to
form a new trust company to serve
as the medium for handling Hetty
Green's wealth has been abandoned
by Mrs. Green and her son, Edward H.
R. Green, and instead they are to or
ganize a private banking house with
branch offices in various parts of the
country where Mrs. Green's holdings
are heaviest. The change of plan
was caused by the discovery that the
laws of the various states did not
give them the right to hold real estate
in the name of one common corpora
ton or trust company.
The private banking house which is
to be formed within the next few
months will have it's main offices in
New York under the name probably
of "E. H. R. Green & Co." There will
be branches in Boston, Chicago, Dial.

Beginning with May the second

the commencement of target firing on
April the first.
During last month the near tar.

bonOrs during the second period of
rifle practice.
The first third of the target season
Of April carries a medal of very neat
and attractive design, with the cher
ished words "Marksman" on ii. This
is presented to the man, whether he
be officer or soldier who makes the
standard figures at practice firing on
the target range.
The marksman's medal also stands
for an increase in the monthly pay

street, Canal street, etc. But when
you get up into the newer part of the
city, where it was all farms and for
est in Washington's time, the streets
are numbered. l live on 122nd street.
So l live a little more than six miles
above the old part of the city. Then
from LIST street down to Brooklyn
Bridge is about three miles. So you
see I live about nine miles from
Brooklyn Bridge. 1 can take an ex-
press train here, in the Subway, and
be at the Brooklyn Bridge in TWEEN
ty-two minutes.
About one million people ride on
the subway every day Most of these
go down town between 6 and 8 a. M,
and most of these people return to
their homes, up town, between 5 and
p. m. So the cars, during these
rush hours" are packed with peo-
pie. There are seats in each car for
fifty-two people. But during the rush
hours" they pack in from 15O to 200
people. There are straps overhead
for you to hold On to, and the people
who stand and hold a strap are called
STRAP hangers" The cars start SO
suddenly and stop so suddenly that
you must hold tight to something or
he thrown against other people.
Each express train during the rush
hours is made up of ten cars. So
each train carries from 1900 to 1900
or more people. And these trains fol
low each other every 100 sec. Il min
ute and 40 seconds). When an ex-
press train stops at a station, the
end doors and side doors are thrown
back, and two crowds of people meet
each other. One crowd is trying 20
get out of the cars to go home or to
change to local train and the otn-
er crowd is trying to get into the cars
to go on farther The man in charge
of the doors shouts:
Let 'em off Let 'em Off"
And usually the crowd outside
keeps out of the way as we'll as they
can. But sometimes the crowd inside
are in such a hurry to get out that
they run into the crowd outside, and
then it is something like a center
rush" at football. When the crowd is
all out of the car, that is, all that
wish to get out at that station, the
crowd outside move in. Each man
and each woman acts as though that
train were the last train that day.
and they must get it or not get home.
So they pack themselves in like sar-
dimes in a. box till no more can get
in. The big man at the door gets
from three to five more in his arms
and pushes them in too. Then the
levers close the doors while the big
man holds the last few in so they
can't spill out; and the train moves
on, leaving a great crowd, that could
not get in, to wait for the next train.
must say that the people are very
good natured about it. Each one
knows that the other is not to blame
for the crowding. And each one is
so anxious to get to his work or to
get home that he is willing to he
crowded for a few minutes.
All the trains are run on the "block

the party over the large Eastern cit
les and manufacturing centers. Va
rious commercial organizations of
the East are in communication with
Halter regarding the entertainment
of the party.
In all probability the party will en-
ter this country at one port and after
the swing around the country will
leave from some other port. If this
tentative plan is followed it will fol-
low the general success attendant
upon the visit of the distinguished
Japanese paprty which visited this
country two years ago.

concern will be in position to ac-

in San Francisco Through private
sources news reached the many warm

appear on the Eternal camping
ground. This report may have come
and hopes are expressed that it did,
from the fact that when Maj Pickett
entered the military division hospital
at Manila they feared the worst, from
