PLANS FOR THE FIVE JAPANESE
SCHOLARSHIPS At MID PACIFIC

In the current issue of the Friend
appear the details of plans for the
five japanese scholarships at Mid-Pa-
cifc Institute, as arranged for by
Theodore Richards during his recent
trip to Japan, as follows:
When the first drafting of regula-
tions concerning the contest for the
five scholarships took place, there
were present President Naruse and
Drs. Nitobe and Motoda with Mr..
Richards at the house of DR.. Nitobe.
Il was clear that the Japanese gen
tlemen were keen to safeguard the
quality of the scholarship, to a degree
that the Mid-Pacifc would not have
considered essential Hence the rules
seemed to Mr. Richards to be some
what rigorous, but he was convinced
that the matter was entirely safe in
the hands of such men and educators,
who, Notwithstanding the heavy de-
mands on their time, were willing to
take this rather arduous burden on
them.
Their chief fear was concerning the
character of the course offered at the
Mid-Pacifc to young men who would
have passed in Japan examinations
covering a high school course in
either country. 1t must be admitted
that we of the NJ p | had shared the
same fear, with the saving recollec-
ton that these young men would have
to qualify for that extremely difficult
condition, viz;-be able to do class
room work in a foreign language,
which they could hardly expect to do
short of a year,-at least to do it well
enough to take regular college work
anywhere. So it was offered candi,
dates that just as soon as they could
qualify for the English required, they

Every dog has his day, and one poor
pup certainly had his the other night,
according to evidence adduced in the
district court yesterday.
The case was that of Ching Sung
Chang, charged with malicious injury
by Mrs. T. S. Choy, in that he did kill
pet dog of hers by striking it on the
head with a hammer.
Defendant is the landlord of q tene-
ment house on Nuuanu street and
complainant is one of his tenants, A
short time ago the board of health
people visited the house and suggest
ed that there were too many dogs
kept by the dodgers to be conducive to
the general health,
Mrs Choy stated that she kept her
puppy in her own reservation on the
lanai and that defendant came around,
and after demonstrating with her for
keeping tn. dog, hit it on the head
with a tainmer, causing its untimely
departure for the dogs heaven.
Mrs. Rose Kualo was another wit
ness for the prosecution, and she
proved to be Zulu" Attorney An
drews, for the defense, questioned her
in the usual manner, whereupon Mrs.
Kualo became very indignant and told
the learned counsel that she was mo
loa." She also kept dog in the house
in question.
Asked if her dog made the veranda
dirty, she told Andrews to go and see
for himself or else consult the board
of health.
"The man hit the dog on the head
with a hammer and it tainted" said
she on the stand. 1T was a pretty
and happy dog and it was not sick

so that it would die until Ching came
along and hit it with the hammer He
tried to talk to me and l told him to
beat it, and he went and beat the lit
tie dog.
She stated that she wasn't on good
terms with defendant, as the latter had
ordered her to clean the cook-house,
and she wasn't going to do anything
of the kind because a lot of other
wahines used the cook-house and
they should all help to clean up the
place.
NJ. Kapoff, for the prosecution,
talked Russian with Interpreter
Grune at such length that Prosecutor
Brown asked if witness evidence
couldn't be administered in small
doses. He had little to say bearing on
the case, however.
Defendant denied maliciously strik-
ing the dog. What he did was to
point the hammer at the dog and the
latter in a fit of playfulness knocked
his head against the hammer 1t died,
all right, but he thought that sickness
was responsible for its decease,
A. NJ. Brown, in conclusion, stated
that ladies at the Young, Moana and
Colonial had their lap dogs and that
he saw no reason why woman might
not keep a puppy west Of Fort street,
He maintained that the dog had been
killed without legal justification.
Andrews contended that there was
no malice, but that defendant was eX
ercising his right in upbraiding the
pup with the hammer
Judge Monsarrat thought differently
however, and S. and costs was his ad
judication,

VISITOR At THE UNIVERSITY
CLUB YESTERDAY CAVE A VERY
INTERESTING ADDRESS ON INDIA

DR.. A. r. Hume, who passed
through here yesterday on his way
to his home in India after a visit to
the United States, was entertained
at lunch at the University Club. DR..
Scudder presided, and among those
present we're Governor Frear, Chief
Justice Clemens, w. r. Castle, p.
Super
Dr. Scudder, in introducing the
guest said that one of the great priv
ileges of living in these islands was
the fact that they often came in con
tact with great men, who were en-
gagged in all kinds of labor He be-
lieved that the special committee of
the University Club was always on
the watch for those men to- come
through, and then give the members
and their friends an opportunity TO
meet them and hear something
about their work, so that they may
know those who labored along the
larger lines, and then whenever they
heard of them they felt associated
with them in their work. DR.. Humes
father had been engaged in work in
India, and DR.. Hume's son was now
laboring there, so that it might he
said that three generations of the
family had been engaged in work for
the uplift of India. DR.. Hume was
also we'll known in Great Britain as
well as in the United States; his
name in fact was known wherever
the English language was known He
was sure that all present would be
glad to have the opportunity to hear
DR.. Hume and get into personal
touch with him.
Situation in India.
DR. Hume began by making a hu-
morous reference to the fact that he
always got his hair cut in every new
country that he visited. Perhaps he
would not leave his footprints on the
sands of time, but he would leave
some of his hair there.
The situation in India he said, is
a difficult one adequately to under
stand, and adequately to present, be,
cause of the heterogeneous character,
and no man who has even lived there
a long time can describe the whole -
India, and no man can know some
thing of every part OF India. 1t is too
vast for that. He was born there,
and has labored there ior thirty-seven
years, and had been h representative
in many departments.
The most important event Of the last
month was the crowntng OF the king
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-07-12

for the British empire, and when
next December he is also crowned
as emperor of the Indian empire at
Delhi that will in its way attract
more international attention than the
coronation in London. There were
15,O00,000 of a most heterogeneous
kind of people, millions of others
warning" over religion and other sub.
jects, so it could be understood how
difficult it would be for him in the
circumstances, adequately to describe
the situation.
Best Government on Earth.
He believed that it was like this:
The English government was the
best government on earth; first, be-
cause it was strong; secondly, be-
cause it was progressive, and thirdly,
because it was conservative. No
other government on the face of the
earth could succeed as Great Britain
was doing in India. There were abb
solute fairness and Justice The
whole government, OF course, was not
by Great Britain. There were 6S2
Indian princes in charge of large
areas, which held about 7O,OOO,O00 OF
the population. These people were en-
tlrely ruled by the princes. Those
6S2 princes were absolutely loyal.
They know that as long as they are
not disloyal to the paramount power,
and as long as they conduct their rule
fairly well, they are absolutely sure
of their present position. This is no
small thing within the permanence
of the English rule.
In this progressiveness everything
is included, education, railways,
banking, telegraphs. AS a boy, DR.,
Hume travelled in the first railway
that ran out of the city of Bengal.
That was in 1858. AS an illustration
of what the British were doing in the
country, he stated that. two controll-
ing principles have been in charge;
the first was the encouragement of
private enterprises in every legiti-
mate way, and the second, govern
ment control. The private companies
are promised five per cent on all ap-
proved railways, and in return they
have to give the British government
a voice in the management. There
was never a dollar of water in any Of
the stock dealt with in this way. Con.
troll has been held so fairly that never
has one railway competed in a war
with another. There has never been

ket after the quarrel and subsequent
shooting of Cook by the Waterman,
testified that Cook was sober at the
time.
Colonel J. C. w. Brooks, who has
been trying to find eye-witnesses to
the quarrel and shooting, was also
witness. He reported that his Of
forts have been unavailing.
A few weeks ago he went to Santa

Fortified Naval Bases.
Minneapolis Journal: Admiral Ma
han says that our Atlantic fleet would
require four months to reach the Ha-
waiian Islands, but that when the
Panama Canal is completed, the fleet
can reach Hawaii in four weeks from
the Atlantic. The difference between
four months and four weeks repre-
sents the military value of the canal
A fortress in the Islands should be
constructed capable of resisting any
attack until the fleet could come to
the rescue. What applies to Hawaii,
attaches also to such points as are
strategic everywhere in our domains.
The policy requires adequate fortifi-
cation of the Isthmus and OF Guam
tanamo. If the fleet, owing to the
inaequacy of their defenses is tied
down to the Isthmus or to Guantan'
amo, by so much is the value of the
fleet lessened.
Mobility and unity are the two
requisites for the fleet Adequate
land fortifcation will secure the fleet
mobility, so that it can safely leave
any one point for a period to hasten
to another point either to rescue OF
to strike. Unity without leaving bare
one field, as the Pacific is compare
lively bare today, will be secured b.
the canal. which will enable the flee
to pass from ocean to ocean and I,
appear at each at maximum strength
To divide the fleet today in orde'
TO place half of it in the Pacific
would be foolish, since division would
place in neither ocean a strength
sufficient to guard either effectively
One overwhelming fleet able to move
quickly is better than two fleets
neither quite equal to the require
ments and likely to be beaten in de
tail.
Admiral Mahan's point is that Il
get from a fleet its maximum mill
tary service requires that fortified
tions of naval bases be sufficient Il
permit the feet to leave any bas'
unprotected except by its own fortl
fications for a time, while the flee
steams to other fields where 1t i
needed or where it can strike.
