people take the responsibility.
Yet he began to marvel at the endurance
of that smoke vomiting engine, so inferior to
his own. Every minute he looked for it to
fail and send Rodoslav planning landward.
He did not envy him the feat Of grounding
on that rock edged coast. Put to it himself,
he would have chosen the breakers.
And then, as he watched and wondered,
the end came. Amid the dark mass of the
fleeing aeroplane there glowed red point of
light. But for an instant only was it point.
Almost as he perceived it, it became leap
ing fame.
"Good God!" he exclaimed, realizing the
truth. "Look! The mans afre! Doesn't he
know"
Appalled, at the disaster, Ann strove to
turn away her eyes. Rodoslav did know,
and was facing Death with all the GOODNESS
of his greater self. Seeing his peril at the
outset, ne smut OH MS engine ana began 10

flame ever encroaching, till, like some holi-
day conceit, the whole aeroplane became
outlined in fire, he contrived to hold his
course. Then-but Ann saw no more. She
had buried her face in her hands.
Nor could Page himself bear clear witness.
Afterward-long afterward-he told her
that Rodoslav fell as star falls, and the
imagery pleased her.

but he could never understand this last step
of all. You must not let him know you knew

soothed a grief he did not understand, his

Ann held her peace; but she did less than
she might to speed their departure. Yet.
even with such delays as doting lover
could pardon, they were swiftly in pursuit.
Like hawk and quarry, as it seemed to her,
they sped toward the opal glow that marked
the highway of the vanished sun. Like
hawk and quarry they left the harsh wilder
ness behind, crossed gentler land, sighted
little city's lights. the dull CLEAN of the
Bocche di Cattaro, and then the open sea.
Whatever refuge the fugitive had first in
mind, he dismissed it. Thus pressed, no
spot near the castle could offer sanctuary.

SENSATIONAL ROAST
IN PUBLIC OF THE
LAND COMMISSIONER

A hundred or more Representatives
Senators, prospective land purchasers
and spectators on the steps of the
capitol at noon today were partici-
pants in or witnesses to an emphatic
denunciation of Land Commissioner
Marston Campbell.
The occasion was the advertised
sale of some twenty and odd beach
lots at Kawailoa on the windward side
of this island.
Josh Tucker, Campbell's right hand
man in office work, read the notice of
sale and then announced that "by or
der of the land commissioner the sale
was postponed until May l."
Attorney Wade Warren Thayer
stepped forward and said: 81 wish at

The startling news was received
in shipping circles this morning that
the well-known Pacific Mail liner
Asia had been wrecked off Finger
Island, near Shanghai, yesterday.
The crew and the passengers were
all saved.
The information was contained in
a telegram to the Merchants Ex-
change, which read: Asia sunk off
Finger Island. Total loss. Passen-
gers and crew saved"
1t was assumed that the China was
near Shanghai when she was
wrecked, for she was due there to-
day from Hongkong en- route to San
Francisco, via Nagasaki, Kobe, Yoko-
hama and Honolulu, her date of arri-
val here being May 12. Further infor-
nation concerning the disaster that
has overtaken the popular little ship
will no doubt come in later messages.

been running out of this port for
many years. Captain Gaukroger was
in charge of her, and associated with
him were First officer ]. Hill, Chief
Engineer S. Aitken, Purser M. H.
Hunt, Acting Freight Clerk H. H.
Berg and DR.. Karl Osterhaus as
surgeon.
The Asia was an old boat, having
been built in 1883 at Belfast by the
well-known firm of Harland, Wolff &
Co. She was formerly the White
Star liner Doric. Her net tonnage
was 1895 and her gross 1880. She
was 44O.9 feet long.
There is no information available
concerning the passengers, but R. d.
Mead, of the Planters Association,
thinks that there we're about one
hundred Filipinos on board on their
way here to work on the plantations.

Beneath large picture of Hawaiian
laborers with banjos and mandolins,
'singing a Hawaiian love song in cele-
bration of their release from ship
board" the San Francisco Chronicle of
April 1S has the following:
One hundred and twenty-five boyish-
looking brown men from the Hawaiian
islands poured down the gangway of
the steamer Senator yesterday after
noon singing aloha Nui," the Hawaii
an "Juanita" and with their disap-
pearance like a scattering flock Of
sheep into the streets of the city the
second labor-gathering fiasco of the
Alaska Packers Association was
brought to an end.
This second failure to enlist men
from the Hawaiian islands to work in
the Alaskan salmon canneries for the
season just beginning has cost the
Alaska Packers Association from $780,
900 to $4,000, although local agents
of the company claim to know nothing
of the chartering of the Senator to
bring laborers from Honolulu.
The first fiasco was the jumping OF
their contracts by 275 Filipinos, Porte
Ricans and Hawaiians, recruited al
Honolulu by agents of the Alaska
Packers Association, when they ar
rived here on the steamer Korea.

It is a damned outrage, and l want
you to make note of this protest"
Another prospective purchaser
spoke up and said: "Yes, Campbell
has gone away and left Tucker to do
the dirty work for him"
Tucker smiled in an embarrassed
manner, saying he was obeying or
ders, whereupon bystanders patted
him on the back and said they knew
he was not to blame
Thayer represented four clients.
Judge Andrade, a member of the
land board, was among the crowd, but
whether as a spectator or a purchaser
did not appear.
Charles Frazier and a string of men
who months ago asked for the lands
at Kawailoa were in attendance.
Thayer remarked aloud that he hop
ed there were legislators present who
could hear the protest against the
postponement of the sale.

;aeg as it came from the Senate ex-
cept to change the penalty from $50
to $40, was adopted by 20 to 10, those
voting no being Alfonso, Archer, Ke-
liinoi Long, Makekau, Marcallino, Mo
anauli Waiaholo, Williamson and
Yates. Alfonso wanted to defer the
bill for discussion, it then being after
12 o'clock, as the Senate had put in
the bill a provision that the House
afte rmuch deliberation had rejected
namely, that of non-liability of rail
roads for the killing or injuring of
any trespasser. His motion to defer
consideration was lost, and the vote
on the report taken Immediately with
the result stated.

quarantine, proceeded to an anchorage
in Mission bay. The laborers were
not allowed to land, and some thirty
of them were persuaded to go aboard
the Star of Italy, which was waiting at
anchor near by to take aboard all of
the Hawaiians. She was to have sail
ed for Bristol bay, Alaska, yesterday
afternoon.
The rest of the men refused to stir
from the Senator and would not con-
sent to being transferred to the Star
of Italy. They demanded to be put
ashore, where they could sign con-
tracts with agents of the packers.
The men were kept aboard Sunday
night and efforts were renewed yes
terday morning to persuade them to
go aboard the Star of italy and finish
the trip to the Alaskan canneries. An
drew Nelson, a cannery boss in the
employ of the Alaska packers, tried to
reason with the men, but they remain
ed obdurate.
Seeing that argument was useless,
the Senator was ordered to dock and

morning when the House by a record

The committees majority consisted
of all it's members except the chair

inconvenience with the recommend

Teachers Differences.

Mrs. Compton, in answer to Judge
Stanley, said she was in doubt as to
the social relationship between her
self and Miss Sandry. They had been
given to understand that when one
department crowded another it was to
be reported. She had protested
against the time taken by Miss San
dry in her typewriting class, taking a
girl named Rita Carneiro into Mr..
Richmond's Office. The girl stated she
was behind in her theme work be-
cause she had to spend five hours a
day on typewriting.
Rita Carneiro lies!" is what Rich
mond said, as Mrs. Compton told the
story.
The girl broke down and Mrs.
Compton told Richmond that the mat
ter would not end there as she would
check the girls work Richmond did
not object and she kept check on
the work, finding that for three days
the girl spent five hours on typewrit-
ing and twice in the same week she
spent three hours on that work.

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER ADDS
TO SCANOALOUS ATMOSPHERE
OF HILO'S PEDAGOGUES' QUARREL

The inquiry into the Hilo High
School scandal was continued this
morning, when the Board of Edu-
cation listened to explanations,
charges and denials by both Principal
Richmond and Mrs Compton, the
leading figures in this matter. The
attempts of Richmond to open up two
matters referred to by Mrs. Compton,
but kept yelled, were promptly COM
batted by Mr.. Aiken and Judge STAN
ley, who thought they were best left
alone for the time being.
Messrs. Pope, Gibson, Rice, Aiken,
Moir, Judge Stanley, and Mrs. Wilcox
were present, Miss Paris being alb
sent.
One of the few developments of the
morning was the denial by Richmond
of his rumored marriage to Miss San
dry.
No HuIa-HuIa Dancing.
Mrs. Compton referred to the al
legged hula-hula dance at Mrs. An
drews' house, stating that the boys
had been playing in a school play,
THE Merchant of Venice" and had
assembled in front of Mrs. Andrews
house to serenade her. She did not
invite them there and it was only aft
er asking Mrs. Widdemore, who was
in charge of the house, for permission
that she invited the boys to come on
to the porch and play. The boys play
ed and sang but did not dance. There
were several other people in the
house at the time but the boys did not
enter the house.
