.LABORERS SETTLING
ON ALL PLANTATIONS

Commissioner of immigration Victor
E. Clark yesterday afternoon handed
the report of his recent inter-island tour
to the board of immigration at a spe.
eial meeting, dwelling in detail on the
conditions that he found among tho
laborers on each island and the prog.
ress of the new immigrants.
His report was considered highly sat
isfactory. Nearly all of the Willesden
immigrants, he said, had settled down,
were planting gardens and buying fur.
niture and giving every evidence of
their intention of becoming permanent
residents. The Spaniards are going
largely into contract work, he said, lead
ing the Portuguese in this.
Conditions, he said, were continuous
ly improving and he added incidentally
that he had never seen as many gar
dens as he did on this last trip. He
had heard some complaint of lack OF
school facilities but believed that thi;
was being remedied.

BISHOP TELLS OF WORK DONE BY THE
CONFERENCE OF NATIONS ON OPIUM

ming Of December and had done fairly
we'll before Christmas, but when we
reassembled after the holidays Il was
found that the German delegation had
exceeded it's authority and certain
changes had to be made.
"India is to decrease its production
Of opium ten per cent. each year, which
will mean the practical abolition OF
export Of the drug from the country in
seven years China is under a like
agreement, but it is provided that at
any time within the ten years that
China ceases to produce opium, at that
time India will be in the same position.
''There was a great delegation of
scientific men at the convention, all but
myself being scientists of note. was
chairman of the American party, and at
the opening of the convention l was
chosen as its president. The twelve
nptions represented in the deliberations
of the convention were all the major
powers and all the smaller ones which
had any interest in the question in
volved Representatives were present
from the United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany, Russia, Holland
Portugal, Italy, Japan, China, Siam
and Persia. Our delegation consisted
of three men, but there was no fixed
number, and some had many more than
three. Each delegation had one vote
when it came to considering questions
however.
Bishop Brent is one of the most able
men in the Episcopal church, and was
offered the position of bishop at Wash
ington three years ago upon the death
of Bishop Satterlee. He decided, how
ever, that his place was in Manila in
charge of the work of the Philippines
where he has hundreds of friends and
admirers, and he elected to go back
to the islands rather than accept the
most desirable place in the church cat
| home.''
He is frequent contributor to the
columns of the Outlook, and his articles
on the Philippines and different con
ditions there have attracted wide at
tention.
He was met at the steamer yesterday
morning by Bishop Restarick and went
with him 70 attend the funeral service.

OVER SCHOOL BOOKS

Hilo, according to Advertiser CORE
spondence, is in stew over school
books. 1t is afraid that the department
of public instruction is going to change
books again on it this year and thus
put the parents to extra expense and
the teachers to extra trouble.
The teachers had a sad experience
last summer, when, with practically no
warning, they were ordered to sub
stitute for the Baldwin readers a
'Golden Treasury" reader issued by
the American Book Co. This book is
far more expensive than the Baldwin
reader, and the teachers, at least in
and about Hilo, have been unanimous
as far as can be learned, in condemning
it as being utterly unfit for local needs.
And continues: at has not yet been
explained why the department should
be so very eager to push the sales Of
the new text books"
Superintendent Pope yesterday side
stepped Hilo wrath by pointing out
that this has been the only change in
text books since his term; that it was
authorized by the commissioners and
that he could not say whether there
would be any more changes or not, be-
cause the commissioners at their last
meeting had placed this in the hands
of the supervising principals and lastly
| that the two books are exactly the same
in price.

WOMAN PASSENGER
NARROWLY ESCAPES
DYING At WAIKIKI
CFrom Wednesdays Advertiser.)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Mrs. E. S. Page, passenger on the
Chiyo Maru bound for Yokohama, mar
rowly escaped death yesterday after
noon at Waikiki in the overturning of
a canoe considerable distance from
the shore. She was brought to the
steamer five minutes before sailing
time swathed in blankets, and was car.
ried on board by two Japanese boys
under the personal direction of DR..
Frederick Bass, surgeon of the liner.
Just how the accident happened, no
one who could be found last night was
able to say 1t is understood that Mrs.
Page, in company with her husband and
several other passengers on the steamer,
went out to Waikiki for swim and
there took n canoe for ride in the
surf which was running high.
In coming in, comber swept over
and into the frail craft which had
swung side on to the wave, and the
occupants were spilled out. Mrs. Page
struck her head and was partly stunned
when the accident occurred, and she
did not know how to swim. Her rescue
was a difficult matter, but she was
brought on shore finally and medical
aid at the Moana brought her around
all right.
Friends carried her to the steamer in
an automobile, she being unable to even
sit up on the ride in, and she was car
ried on board inst few moments be.
fore the vessel sailed for the Orient.

JAPANESE PLAYS
IN GREAT LUCK
Single Missing Link in Chain of
Evidence Against Him
Sets Him Free.
(FrOm Wednesday,s Adyertiser.l

krTOm wednesday 3 AdVertlser)
Chi Mitomie, Japanese, twenty-five
years of age, charged with burglary in
the first degree, beat the prosecution
just by the skin of his teeth at the
hearing yesterday before Judge Mon
sarrat and was given his liberty. 1t
was charged that Mitomie entered the
house of L. Abrams, 1641 Beretania
street, on the night of February "a,
and got away with jewelry, medals and
other valuables to the, extent of $1,000
worth.
It was Sherlock Holmes case of the
first order and Chief McDufie worked
| it to a nicely, but Judge Monsarrat
couldn't see it just that way. A match
and a six-bits piece of ehamois skin
were the articles that seemed to point
the fingers of guilt at Mitomie, and for
a time it looked as if the tell-tale ar
ticles would be the means whereby jus
tice would hold the prisoner for the
grand jury.
History of Case
| 1t appears that the Japanese was for
a time employed at 1641 Beretania
as handy boy. Then, because he
services were not longer needed. he
was let go. Saturday, February "a, he
secured place as second cook on the
cable boat Restorer. That night, tho
Abrams room on the upper floor of 164l
Beretania was entered, a safe broken
open and drawers smashed and riffed.
None of the people in the house heard
the noise, and the crime was not dis.
covered until mkt morning.
Burnt Match Clew.
Chief McDuffie appeared on the scene
but the clews were slight A burnt
match or two, few bloodstains on
some clothes, and busted safe were
before him. The chief took the match
and put it away. The Restorer had
that morning sailed for Midway and
there was nothing but to await the re-
turn of that vessel
When she did return, March 90, Nc
Dufie and Sergeant Kellett went
aboard and placed Mitomie under ar
lrest. Then they searched his baggage
and found among other things a cook
book, mirror, box of pencils and piece
of new chamois, all of which-with
the possible exception of the latter
were positively identified as belonging
to inmates of the burglarized residence.
lMr. Abrams would not swear finally
that the chamois was the one in which
some of his wife's jewelry had been
wrapped. In so failing to identify that
property he saved Mitomie an appear
ance before the grand jury and pos
sible term in Oahu.
Matches Aplenty.
But the match. The detectives found
, that such matches only were used
] aboard the Restorer. 1t was Canadian
match, and thorough canvass of the
city by the special staff failed to To-.
cate another match like it. And Prose-
cutor Brown, in a fine presentation Of
the case, showed that Mitomie came
ashore Saturday night after securing
his job and did not go aboard until
midnight.
Attorney Peters addressed the court
at considerable length, laying great
stress upon the chamois skin and the
match evidence as being too flimsy for
any consideration. The court devoted
a full half-hour to the review of tho
case and finally ordered Mitomie' s dis
charge!

DR.. Golfer Wants
Sewer System on
Quarantine Island
By Ernest G. Walker.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, March %.
DIR. L. E. Cofer, long stationed
at Honolulu and now with the
marine hospital service in this
city, has just completed an argu-
ment before the house appropria-
tions committee in behalf of
sewer system for Quarantine Is
land, at Honolulu. He hopes an
authorization and appropriation
for this system will become law
at this session of congress.
In reply to a question about the
probability of a marine hospital
Office being established at Hilo,
Doctor Golfer says he believes
that there is no prospect what
ever of that being done for the
present. When the Panama Canal
is opened, however, and the COM
merce at Hilo has increased, as
it viii likely do, the matter viii
be on better basis.

.HORNER BROTHERS IN
LIMELIGHT AGAIN
Albert in Court Tells of 0rgani-
zation of Plantation
Company.
CFrom wednesday,s Advertiser.l

Tho case Of Homer against Homer
began before Judge w. j. Robinson in
the circuit court yesterday, with gen.
eral inquiry into the history of the or
ganization of Kukaiau Plantation,
which is the property whose manage
ment is an issue between Albert and
Robert Horner. The two brothers were
in court with their counsel, and Albert
Homer took the witness stand to tell
of the organization of the company.
1t was in 1884 that the plantation
was organized, and the documentary
evidence began with the introduction
Of an agreement whereby Theo IL. Da.
vies & Co., erected a mill Horner
was still under direct examination
when the court adjourned for the day,
and had not got down to the details
of the issues before the court.
Give Davies and George Davies were
present as witnesses at the afternoon
session, but as 1t was evident that the
court would not be ready for them dur
ing the afternoon, they were excused
until ten o. elock this morning. AS the
direct examination of Albert Horner is
apparently not nearly over, they will
probably be excused again when they
report to the court this morning.
d. l.. wilmington and w. l.. Stanley
appeared for Robert Horner and Frank
L. Thompson and A. A. Wilder for the
other side.
New Examining Board.
Chief Justice A. G. NJ. Robertson has
appointed a new commission of attor
neys to examine applicants for licenses
to practise law. The commissioners are
Arthur G, Smith, Il. G. Peters and p
l.. Weaver. The retiring board, con
sisting of A. Lindsay, Jr., c. r. Hem
enway and w. w. Thayer, was thanked
by the court for its services.
The first application to come before
the new board is that of Ingham Makli1

schools in that State. Among his ere
dentials is certificate of character from
H. A. Bigelow, former member of the

(llaii Special to The Advcrtisor)

PHILADELPHIA, March 17.-As the
time draws near for the sessions of the
twelfth international congress of navi-
cation, which will convene in Phila-
delphia, May 90, number Of the East.
ern cities are laying plans to obtain a
visit from the engineers who will come
as representatives of foreign countries.
These efforts are being seconded by i'm
portant manufacturing corporations
which realize the value of having so
large a number of engineers from
abroad visit their works to carry away
with them a knowledge of methods and
products of this country.
Pittsburgh, the greatest tonnage pro.
ducing district in the world has been
quick to see the value that it will be to
its interests to be visited by the en-.
gineers. 1t is expected that virtually
all of the delegates to the congress will
make the trip to western Pennsylvania
to see the industries of this district,
which throughout the world, is regard
ed the industrial marvel of the age
The big corporations in Pittsburgh are
cooperating with the City authorities
to make the visit of the engineers in

CIRCULATION Of the opium trafie has
come as near perfecton AZ possible

ton. He was elected president. He
has been one Of the American repre-.
sentatives at an the opium conferences
held in the last few years and on the
present occasion he was chairman Of
the American delegation. He was the
only non-scientifc man among all the
delegates. The Others on the Amer
lean delegation were DR.. Hamilton
Wright and Hon. f. J. Finjer.
This congress held at The Hague
was a step in advance of the other coz
crosses of the past in that the dele.
gates had plenipotentiary powers and
were authorized to act for their gov
ernments, where in past conventions
they had the power of presenting res
olutions only. 1t is expected that with
the treaty entered into this year the
matter has been settled as far as posi-.
Bile, although it may be that another
convention will be called next year to
strengthen out minor points which may
arise.
Conventions Aim.
"It was the aim OF the convention
to place the opium and allied drugs
under the head of medicines and under
government control" said Bishop
Brent, "and we were most successful
along this line, I believe. We were
really successful in all but morphine
and cocaine, all the other hablt-form-
ing drugs being placed on the medicine
list and subject to governmental SUI
pervision in their sale. In the CON
vention this year each delegation had
plenipotentiary powers, that is they
were entitled to enter into a treaty
binding their government to certain
conditions. Each delegation had one
vote.
"We commenced work at the begin
