FADS AND FASHIONS

New York, Dec. 1.-THE vogue of
waists or blouses still continue I'M
diminished, a fact which is really not
surprising II one considers the import
ant part which those garments play in
fashionable woman's toilette.
Strictly tailored waists are seen in
suit colorings. plaids and white, the
last mentioned showing the front clos
ing effected with fancy buttons. The
collar and cuffs have a button-through
finish. the small-size buttons being u.s.
ed for this purpose. Some of the new
est tailored waists are made of sofe-
finished material. with buttons and
buttonholes extending through the
high standing collar. thus effecting a
front closing. Crochet buttons are
usually seen on these smart new
models. Usually quantity of Irish
crochet lace is inserted between rows
of tucks. and on either side of the
front pleat. The same kind of lace
also appears in conjunction with hand
embroidered and lace motifs.
The tailored and semi-tailored waists
Of wash materials are developed in
linen, cotton flanel, dotted Suisse,
cross-bar lawn and marquisette, and
show inserts of Irish and Cluny laces,
as we'll as effective patterns worked
out in hand embroidery. Many of the
wash waists are made in strictly shirt
styles, with a high turnover collar
fastened with two buttons, just as
mems neglige shirts are fastened.
The cuffs are also of the turned-back
design, and are fastened with two
buttons in link style. Other designs
in waists of washable materials are
made in semi-tailored designs and
have the fronts tucked, and trimmed
with machine embroidery. Sailor COL
lars are very frequently seen on these
waists and are trimmed with the en-
broidery similar to the front of the
waist.
Net is frequent favorite for the
dainty side pleats. A narrow hem of
black net Is used as an edge finish
to the white frills made wholly of net.
This touch Of black on a white linen
waist is very effective, all the more
so when used in conjunction with
black and white buttons. Waists of
champagne linen in strictly tailored
style have fancy yellow pearl buttons
to match.
Soft-finished satins, messalines,
crepes and chiffons make very effec-
tive waists for wearing with the two
piece suits. Among the newest crepe
and satin waists are the box-pleated
designs, the pleate being about half
inch in width and stitched flatly be-
low the collar in pointed yoke fashion.
From this point the pleates are firm
ly pressed, but are not attached to
the lining, thus blousing a little at
the waist.

long lines.
A new idea in waists is arousing
considerable interest owing to the fact
that it does not require a hook or but
ton in it's adjustment to the figure. 1t
is made in regular waist form in the
back, with gathers at the waist line
and tape, which is fastened in the
front, holding the waist securely. The
front Of the waist is made with two
long ends which may be crossed and
tied in a variety of ways, resulting in

SPEAKER SAYS SUPERVISORS HAVE
REFUSED LEGISLATURE A COURTESY
IN HOUSE CLERKSHIP MATTER

counts committee, we decided after
looking over the list of capable men
that the only thing to do was to see
if we would not be granted a favor
by getting our old clerk back for just
the period of the session.
you know the journal clerk should
have these qualifications, he must be
a good typewriter, be neat in his
work, be a Hawaiian scholar, should
be a good proofreader, understand
English, be a competent indexer, have
some executive ability, and be in a
position to give the publishers and
printers of the journal each day a
good watching to see that they are up
to time and at the same time be able
to lay his hand on any papers that
numerous committees in the house
may desire to get in their work. To
get a man with such qualifications
and the experience Fernandez got last
session, is a job. However, the pow
ers that be who sit around the May
or's table don't feel disposed to grant
one branch of the legislature favor,
well, we will have to hunt around for
another man and take the trouble to
break him in. That is all. But don't
you know it is always best to be cour-
teous and if a favor could be ex-

time of the year, that the request
made on behalf of the journal commit

compacts,' but yet we are not Great
ing a job for a father-in-law' who
was only recently Democrat and we
haven't any chips on our shoulders
as some of my friends the supervisors
have, and on the other hand we are
not looking for any rows and law
suits as seems to be what the city
government here is lining up for.
Besides little favors between one
branch of the peoples government
and the other ought to be accorded.
1t is courtesy, and such courtesies are
not forgotten. l know the ward poll
ticians don't want our way of doing
efficiency, and they or some of them
at least have been stuffing a poor
editor with the Car like-attitude of
the Speaker usurping powers which
belongs to the House. know 1t is a
difficult thing to please everybody, but
you can assure whoever may ask, that
l am not assuming prerogatives which
belong to the House, and that we
are after efficiency and progressive
results"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-02-09

A Star reporter met Speaker Hol-
stein this morning as he was emerg-
ing from the white House" and ask
ed if he had read the charges that
he was usurping powers which belong
ed to the House. "My local critic
says" the Speaker remarked, that
the authority to select officers usual
Iy elected by the members of the
House has not yet been surrendered
and that the Speaker should not be
too hasty IN assuming those duties
regarding which the members on the
floor believe they have rights and
privileges.
"The Bulletin has a yellow streak
at times and my friend Harrington
gets off on a wrong tangent. The
position of journal clerk was created
in a new rule passed by the House
last session which reads that there
shall be a journal committee consist
ing of the Speaker, the chairman of
the accounts and public expenditures
committee and the chairman of the
printing committee, and who shall
have full charge of the journal work,
who shall make contracts with the
printers and publishers, have the jour
nal typewriter, printed, translated,
bound in book form, indexed and un-
der the Organic Act as one OF the
duties of the secretary of the Terri
tory of Hawaii a copy of the journal
must be transmitted to the President
of the United States within thirty
days after the session is over, and 1t
so happens that the journal commit
tee is given under the rule which
have stated full powers to employ a
journal clerk and assistants. Last
session the journal clerk was N. Fer
nandez and he made good. This SEES
sion the people desire efficiency, pro
gressive results and all hands are
ready to make good record, md
thought it was a good thing to help
efficiency and progressive results to
get Fernandez back If we could

of supervisors. l thought the super
visors would give the House our
former journal clerk under a leave of
absence as we did not want to break
in another man in a position which
needed efficiency, and progressive re-
suits if 1 may quote my critic. So
knowing the House had nothing TO Go

is the journal committees own pre-
negative, and having taken up the
matter with the prospective chairmen

spots.
Comprehensive Scheme.
The scheme to be submitted will
be bold one, but if adopted, it will
undoubtedly do a lot towards making
this portion of Honolulu a better
locality to live in. Besides that there
will be other advantages in the way
of providind shorter routes than now
exist.
A glace at a street map will show
that there are several blind" streets,
and the idea now is to continue these
on so that they will interest other
main thoroughfares. In this way
blocks will be formed, and it will be
quite in keeping with any greater
Honolulu ideas that may be in view.
Around about Liliha street and Nuu-
anu avenue there will be some ad.
ditions, for it is proposed to continue
RobertsOn's lane on to Liliha street,
and Maemae lane on to Judd street.
The whole block will be taken in, and
the plan is not only to swer it, but
to drain it as well. Nearly all the
new streets will run towards the har-
Dor, so that in this way, there will
be natural surface drainage, while
where cross streets are to be formed
they will be graded in such a way
that the water will run to a common
center.
The street map that has been taken
as a guide presents an interesting APP
pearance, for it is now drawn with
red lines that represent the proposed
new streets.

HOW "ALEx" LEFT HIS POST.

A soldier boy named Alex, just be-
fore the famous battle of Winchester,
was detailed to guard army property.
He stood faithfully at his post until
that terrific charge, when he broke
for his regiment, joined it and was in
the thickest of both the desperate
charges that decided the day.
After the battle he was brought be.
fore a court martial and he came be-
fore the stern military court with
tears streaming down his face, and be-
tween sobs said: you may shoot mo
if you must, but father told me when
left home that when there was any
fighting going on | must be in it, AMI
l was Now if you want your stuff
guarded when there is a fight going on
somebody besides me must do it, for
I'm here to fight with the boys" They
did not shoot him.
His plea was effective, and he was
not shot, and ever after that proved
one of the best soldiers of his regi-
ment.

BENEFIT DANCE AT
K. OF p. HALL,

X. OF p. HALL, TUESDAY
1t has been decided to have a mas
querade ball in aid of Bobby Jones,
next Tuesday noght, at the X. of P.
hall. The trustees of the hall have
given begin at half-past nine o'clock
the actors of the city are working hard
to make the affair success. Dancing
will begin at half-past nine o'clock,
and an hour later all the theatrical
people will appear in costume. Con-
ductor Hughes, of the Bijou, will bring
his musicians around.
Between dances there will be vaude-
vile stunts, and all the Thespians will
take a hand in the merry making. The
girls, who were so successful at the
league grounds, will again appear in
the charity role, and the little charm
ers will help to liven things up.
Meeker and McIvor, two good fell
lows, are working on the proposition,
and they have the support of all the
other Board Walkers" The object
of the benefit dance is to get enough
money together to send Jones away to
the hot springs, where he will at least
have a chance for his life

PLANS MAPPED OUT
FOR STREET EXTENSION ON The
EVA SIDE OF NUUANU AVENUE

Yesterday DR.. Fratt, Senator elect
A. Judd, Surveyor Wall and an as.
sistant visited portions of the Fifth
District, with a view to ascertaining
where the best points would be to
begin an improvement in order that
better sanitation may be obtained.
The question of a Honolulu beauti-
full is not going to be considered at
all in this plans that are now under
way, for it is felt that this would
mean a prohibitive figure of costs.
What is now suggested is that plan
be drawn for making the Fifth Dis
trict thoroughly sanitary. This will
not be very large contract, the
officers think. AS the district is now,
IL is danger to health, for it lacks
proper sanitation, and there is no
sewerage system in the middle of
some of the thickly-populated parts.
The whole trouble is that residen-
tial areas are encroaching on taro
patches, and in many instances sew
age finds its way into the water on
these patches, while at other points
1t fECws unto the Palama stream.
One great trouble seems to be the
insufiiciency of streets, and this is a
matter that is to be dealt with right
away. This morning Dr. Pratt point
ed to a spot where a house once
stood in which no fewer than seven
cases of diphtheria occurred, four of
them proving fatal The house has
since been burnt down.
Chinatown is not in very bad state,
thanks, no doubt, to the extensive
fire that occurred in this district
about eleven years ago A few alter
ations are to be suggested, and then
it is expected that this district will
be quite sanitary. The members of
the party showed the state of the
ground that they had been over, by
the thick cakes of mud that were 'on
their boots, and it took them some

JAPAN STOCKING
RICE FOR WAR

The Manila Cable News American
says: "A letter received from Saigon
by a prominent business man yester-
cay, states that more than 100000
tons of rice have been booked for
shipment to Japan during the months
of February, March, and April.
While this is very innocent piece
of information, thinks the merchant,
the fact that there has been no ex-
traor1inary failure of the Japanese
rice crop, makes it appear as if this
extraordinarily large demand were
not needed to fill the mouths of Nip
pon's food c1amoring millions In
spite of the fact that this years rice
crop in southern China and Siam was
more than the average one, the prices
this year have opened ninety cents
per picul higher than last year, no
doubt due to the abnormal demand.
1t is also noted that prior to the
Japanese Russian War, similar large
shipments of rice were made to Japan.
Signs are plenty that the Land of
the Rising Sun does not intend to
be caught mapping, to say the least.
That is just the point. There is a
world of difference in the precautions
by Japan and by every other nation
on the face of the earth and that
taken by the United States to avert
being surprised by war entailed by
unforeseen events.
Japan proposes to mix in the affairs
of the world to have a voice in the
council of the nations and to be pre-
pared to resent any insults the other
councillors may attempt to put upon
her and to entertain any surprises
they may concoct for her.
On the other hand the United States
proposes to have voice in the concert
of the powers but makes no provision
for what any 'of the other powers may
try to do to her when they conclude
that her voice is out of tune
These activities of Japan do not
mean anything and yet, they mean
much if one be allowed the paradox.
They do not signify that Japan
10 piSpdAlHS " war Will Inc
United States but they do mean
that Japan is preparing to meet
the exigencies of her nation
al expansion. They contrast with
the inertness of the United States
so strikingly as to make the average
American in the Orient blush for his
provincial fellow countrymen who are
doing away in the security of the
ignorance of their country's position
before the world.

(By the S. S. China.)

MANILA, Jan. 13.-Word has been
received at constabulary headquarters
of the capture of Valerie Avila, one
of the old-time outlaws of the island
of Luzon. The capture was made
by a detachment of the second com
pany of constabulary of Ambos Cam
arines With the capture of Avila,
the last of the old outlaw leaders on
this island has been put out of COM
mission forever
Avila is one of the insurrecto lead
ers who never acknowledged the SOW
ereignty of the United States. His
first depreciation seems to have been
in 1902, when on July of that year
he attacked the town of Ragay, com.
hitting robberies and other abuses
On September II of the same year he
and his followers attacked the con.
stabulary barracks at Pacolaga,
wounding seven constabulary soldiers
and capturing one rifle, with the loss
of one man killed and five wounded.
He was very active in 1904, and
was vigorously pursued by the con-
stabulary. On January "a of that
year his camp was attacked and in
a fight which lasted over an hour he
lost five men killed, five captured, six
rifles and some ammunition.
On August 10, 1904, the Civil Gov
ernor authorized a reward of P5OO
for his capture dead or alive.
In 1907 Avila was Joined by Ne
mesio Vargas, and Dionicio Hamit Ca
bayo, both old outlaw leaders, and
again became active. His camp was
discovered and attacked by the con.
stabulary in June. 1907, but the band
managed to escape, excepting Avilas
wife, who was taken prisoner. Later,
with about 30 followers he attacked

The Peoria (Tii) Star:
Some weeks ago Fred Tracy, the
city clerk, received a request from
the secretary of the Hawaii Promo
ton club for a copy of the Peoria city
directory. The reply was sent that
no city directory had been published
for nearly two years, but one was to
be issued shortly, and it would be for
warded
This morning the receipt of the re-
ply was acknowledged with the state
ment that a copy of the Peoria city
directory at Honolulu would be appre
ciated by hundreds of rans-Pacific
travellers. 1t is understood that John
White, publisher Of the forthcoming
directory, will donate a copy to the
city to be sent to the Hawaiian Isl
ands.

THE LAST LADRONE OF LUZON IS
CAPTURED BY THE CONSTABULARY

Ragay, where his wife was held in a
private house and rescued her.
His last encounter with the constab-
ulary was on January 4, 1908, when
a detachment of constabulary struck
upon his camp. In the engagement
which followed two of the outlaws
were killed and one revolver, some
ammunition and a large number of
blade weapons were captured.
All of these operations depleted
his following until he was left with
only one or two companions. He then
went into the seclusion from which
the constabulary has now taken him.
He will be tried for his crimes:

CABLE COMPANY
TO CLEAR LINE

The Commercial Pacific Cable Com
pany has made final arrangements to
clear the line between here and San
Francisco for the flashing across the
ocean, on the evening of February q
the message from President Taft
which will open the great Elks' car
nival on the Alakea wharf.
The cable company, as has every.
body else concerned, including Presi-
dent Taft, enters into the spirit of
the carnival enthusiasm and the local
officers of the cable concern are put
ting themselves to no little pains to
make way no matter how busy the
line may be at that time, for the light
ming passage of Taft's signal from
Washington, at the receipt of which
signal there will be a blaze of electric
glory under the Alakea shed, and the
Hawaiian band will burst forth into
patriotic strains, and, later, into the
new Elks' carnival march, composed
exclusively by Captain Berger
1t was announced some time ago
that President Taft had graciously
agreed to open the Honolulu Elks'
carnival and that at the time in
Washington, d. c., corresponding to Z
p. m. here, the nations chief execu-
tive will press a button that will be
the signal for starting a message over
land and sea, by telegraph and cable,
which, delivered here in the nick of
time, will, with brief but impressive
ceremony, start the big ball and the
fourteen sideshows and the general
carnival of the Elks and their friends
on the Alakea wharf. That this might
be accomplished it means clearing the
telegraph and cable lines, cutting out
all other cables while Taft's message
has right of way, an honor of which
the Elks and Honolulu generally may
well be proud.
