THE MOSQUITO CoMMANDNENTs
editor Honolulu star-Bulletin,

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-Like most all others engaged
in public work, the mosquito man
needs encouragement at times. 1t has
been remarkable how few of the buzz
ing pests we have had up to a few
weeks ago. But what a difference
now. 1t seems that it would do no
harm If we and our good neighbors,
to aid the mosquito man. would live
UP to the "Mosquitoland Command
ments", as follows: ~.
First Commandment Thou SHAFT
not keep tin cans about thy yard, nor
yet under thy house, for he that is bit
by the mosquito will not hold him
,guiltless that keepeth tin cans in vain.

an ass because he taketh heed and de-
stroyeth the mosquito, for verify the
man that taketh not care of his health

HOLD PRISONER EIGHT l..
MONTHS WITHOUT TRIAL

After lying in Jail eight months be-
cause he was unable to obtain $500
bond, Harada. a Japanese accused OF
a statutory crime, at last may gain
temporary freedom if he can raise a
$3.50 bail bond. Though arrested last
April, he was indicted only recently
by the federal grand jury. and this
morning was brought into court when
his case was called to set date for
the hearing. 1t was decided the trial
cannot be held until the present Ma
huka site hearing is concluded and a
gin-smuggling case is disposed of,
which will put it well along in the
next year. Meantime the bond has
been reduced, giving the prisoner a
chance to get outside the walls of the

DR.. WILEY And THE .CABISEI

The American people hold DIR. I'll. w. Wiley
IN high esteem, but If he is picket for secretary
0f agriculture by President-elect Wilson, there
will undoubtedly be much dissatisfaction among
the presidents well.wishers and hearty sup
porters.
Dr. Wiley is a capable man in his line, but
that line is chemistry. As chief of the bureau of
chemistry in the department Of agriculture, he
made distinct success, the success being height
ened because he was virtually dismissed from
office in the midst of d political row. But nei-
ther in office nor out of office has he shown the
executive qualities demanded, OF the holder of a
cabinet portfolio. Indeed Dr. Wiley has been
often displayed as a whining and querulous old
gentleman who makes numerous petty com
plants whenever he does not get his own way.
There is no question that Wiley was hampered
in his administration of the bureau of chemis-
try, but there is also question that he often
exceeded his authority and that his clashes with
his superiors were large factor in his dismiss
SAL
The verdict of Wiley's kindliest critics at the
time the factionaT fight in the department came
to a head, was that Wiley deserved reprimand
for exceeding his authority, but that his offense
was the result of over-zeal and did not justify
his dismissal. a.. ill.,. ...
Undoubtedly Wiley is an efficient scientist
and fearless fighter for pure foods and pure
drugs He has earned the lasting gratitude of
the American people On this ground. That he
is enough of an executive to fill the position of
head of the great department of agriculture is
exceedingly doubtful.

DEMOCRATIC DISSATISFACTION

One of the possibilities of the present govern
'orship situation is that soon after Wilson's i'll
auguration the new president will send trust
I'D emissary to the islands for an investigation
hot only to determine which of the rival candi
'dates for Frear's job is deserving of the crown
but also to get new line on the same conditions
That Fisher went into SO thoroughly. ~.
1t is known probably to but a few outside OF
one of the several in inner Democratic circles
that another investigation may be asked for.
The Star Bulletin has information from two or
three sources that indicates either sincere pre-
fended dissatisfaction among certain Bourbons
with Fishers probe. Not long ago there were
|fnmors that an appeal to Wilson for Demo.
cratic investigation had already been drafted.
Whether this has been presented or not it is i'm
possible now TO say, but it is not at all unlikely
that the gathering of prominent party members
i'm Washington now has more significance than
"a lobbying-bee for any candidate for the gov
ernorship.
just what is to be gained by another inves-
figation here is not clear. Fisher was able, as
tute, Thorough and impartial. The delegates
Democratic attorney, Mr.. Ashford, expressed
himself both publicly and privately as satisfied
with Fishers work, and certainly in the limited
time at his disposal lie got hold of the local sit
uation with a remarkably strong grip. That he
txonerated Frear from personal responsibility
for what faults he found i'm Hawaii cannot pos
sibly be taken as proof that the investigation
was either superficial or one-sided. Nor is the
fact that Frear has been reappointed any proof
that Democratic investigation is necessary,

ever, it is claimed to have accomplished the OBJ
ject for which it was enacted,-that of prevent
ing bad accidents.
Within recent years autOists in Honolulu
have become unusually reckless. Particularly
in the afternoon, when crowds of people are on
their way home, it is almost the rule on such
lines as King and Beretania streets for flying
automobiles to dash heedlessly in front of or
past street-cars from which passengers are
alighting. The "full-stop' regulation is prob
ably unnecessary, but rule which should be
enforced is that autos passing stationary cars
should slow down to a reasonable rate of motion.
1t is only matter of time until there is going
to be fatal accident under present conditions.

A NEEDED AUTO REGULATION

Several mainland cities, facing the problem
of regulating automobile traffic, have enacted
ordinances containing the ''full-stop" provision.
The provision has several variations, but in it's
simplest form it requires that all autos passing
street-cars which people are entering or leaving
shall come to full stop. The rule was adopted
because of many needless accidents in which
people alighting from cars were struck by speed
ing autos.
In one or two cities where the stream of traf-
fic is unusually heavy, the ordinance has been
found somewhat unwieldy, for the constant
stopping of the autos has thrown traffic into
confusion and started serious blockades. How

1t is suggested that one way to prevent Ho-
nolulu's children from running the streets at
night is for the police to hold the parents inn
mediately responsible The plan proposed is for
the police officers to take the names and add
dresses of the children, ascertain if they have
parents or guardians, and if SO, summon these
parents or guardians to the police court and
fine them. Possibly this may not lie a constitu-
tional way of doing things. There is often a
technical bar to a highly practical scheme But
the idea is certainly worth looking into. ea4tt

WILL EXHIBIT A
FAMOUS EMERALD
Weighs % Karats and Was
Talisman of MOgul
EmperOrs

London, July -(Special.)-An em-
erald which was once the talisman OF
the Mogul Emperors, and which. with
the Koh-i-Noor diamond formed part
of the loot carried to Persia by Nadr
Shah. the conqueror of Delhi, is to
be exhibited today In the show rooms
of a Bond street jeweler
This historic gem is the most pre-
cious piece brought from the east by
Mr. Jacques Cartier, who went to the
Durbar for tho purpose of studying
and collecting Oriental Jewels The en-
erald weighed IS carats and is of u
fine deep sea color. 1t Is In the form
of flat oval slightly over an inch In
length and a quarter of an inch in
tn cSness. About the edge is the fol-
lowing inscription In Persian: HE who
possesses this charm shall enjoy the
special protection of God"
while In India 1 visited number
of the native rulers and had opportu-
nifty to examine their crown Jewels"
said Mr.. Cartier. yesterday. 1T is Inn
possible to compare the Jewels of the
Orient with those of the west.
"Out there everything is flooded with
the wonderful Indian sunlight. One does
not see as In the English light; he is
only conscious that there is blaze
OF red and of green or yellow. 1t Is
all like an impressionist painting.
Nothing is clearly defined. And there
Is but one vivid impression OF un-
dreamed gorgeousness and wealth.
Because this is true many of the
Indian gems are not so flawless as
those used here. But among the COL
lections which I saw l found some
pieces which surpassed anything sim
liar to be found in the world.
1.-THE finest jewels collectively are
those belonging to the Gaekwar of
Baroda. He owns the beautiful dia-
mcnd, the Star of the South THIS II
used as pendant on a diamond neck
lace made up of three rows OF dia-
monds, each stone Weighing from 80 to
A. carats. The whole thing is easily
worth $1.250,000. lie has also neck
lace made up of five rows of pearls,
which, as to size, and color. are alb :
solutely matchless.
THE finest collection of pearls,
which are the favorite stone In India,
Is that of the Maharajah of Dholpur. He
has a necklace reaching almost to the
knees, consisting of five ropes of pearls
caught together at intervals with sin-
gle pearls of enormous size.
After pearls, emeralds are the favor
lite stone and the Maharajah of Patiala
has some of the finest. One of the
pieces is turban ornament In the form
or a large feather. at least 10 inches
long. made of diamonds. About tho
edge of this Is fringe of large pear
shaped emeralds. each of which Is al
NEST priceless"

WANTS HUSBAND TO
MARRY OTHER WOMAN

London, July Especial THE case
of Mrs. Hannah Pears, the wife who
brought divorce proceedings simply to
set free her husband, Mr.. Joseph Ackroyd
Pears of Leeds, so that he might marry
the woman with whom he had lived for
years, was decided in the divorce court
yesterday.
Mrs. Pears, who was married in 1889 al
Northampton, said that after the birth Of
her first child she began drinking. al
though she had previously been an abb
stainer. Afterwards she entered home
for inebriates and while there her hus-
band lived with girl named Ellen Nash
who had been their servant.
Mrs. Pears was engaged in mission
work, and, hearing of her husband al
Leeds she called on him there and asked
him to return to her. He refused TO leave
the girl.
That was some years ago, and now, on
the advice of the Rev. George Codrington
Parr, of South Kensngton, these pro-
ceedings were brought on moral
grounds. Mrs. Pears explained that she
had no desire to marry again, and wished
to divorce her husband in order that he
might marry the other woman.
The President, in announcing his de-
cision, said he would like to have as
sisted Mrs. Pears II 1t had been In his
power.
"A separation of from II to 20 years is
so long, however, he continued, that
1t needs explanation. Her motive has
nothing to do with her right to decree
II she is entitled to It. but 1t Is abund-
antly clear from the evidence of the
clergyman who helped her why this petit
ton is now filed.
~ have come to the conclusion that
she had no disposition to take any pro-
ceedings until after consulting the clergy
man mentioned. and therefore her pray err
for decree cannot be granted"
