QuarreIs Of Frienoa.

think ! have observed universally
that the Quarrels Of friends in the lat
ter part Of life are never truly recon.
c1led. A wound in the friendship of
young persons, as in the bark OF
young trees. may be so grown over; az
to leave no Gear. The case is very dif
ferent as regards to old persons anl
old timber. The reason of this may
be accounted from the decline of the
social passions, and the prevalence OF
spleen. suspicion. and rancor, towards
the latter part of life.

Amount Overpaid by School District:

From the information contained in
the minute book, it appears that the
giving out Of the additional work to
the Virginia Plumbing & Heating
Co., involving an expenditure OF
$12,30O.0O was quite irregular in re-
spect that no mention is made If
any bids having been received Or
called for the board; the procedure
seems to. have been that the board
decided to make certain changes on
the heating and ventilating contract
originally let to the Virginia Plumb
ing & Heating Co. on June /, 1910,
the manager of that Company APP
peared before the board and stated
that his company would allow a
credit of $1,819.O0 for the boilers
specified in his original contract and
undertake the new work for the sum
of $12,300.0O. 1t was moved and
supported that the offer made by the
manager of the Virginia Plumbing &
Heating Co. be accepted and that the
| chairman and clerk be authorized to
! enter into a contract for same.
The terms of the contract with the
architects called for payment OF them
of $500 per month on account Of
the salary of superintendent of con-
struction and at one time 1t was
thought that the architects had not
fulfilled this part of their contract,
but after several conferences it is
found that they have made the
requisite payments of salary and en-
tirely discharged their legal duty.
The original doubt arose from the
fact that the architects had made
several payments direct to the super
intendent of construction, and no
record of these payments was made
IL the books of the school district.

Virginia, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
In accordance with instructions,
we have audited the books and rec
ords of the Independent School Dis
trict of Virginia, MIMI, for the per-
iod from July 1910 to December 4,
1911, the records prior to July, 1910
have also been examined to the ex-
tent necessary to ascertain the cost
of the new Technical high school.
We have now pleasure in submitting
our report thereon along with the
relative statements, as per the FORE
going index to their report.
The present system Of accounting
and financial arrangements have
been revised and improved, special
attention was given to the uniform
system of financial records as sug-
gested by the United States Commits
sioners of Education, and the new
system OF accounting will conform
thereto in so far as it is practicable
and desirable to do so.
The balance sheet now submitted
is approximately correct; it is in
cluded in this report, rather as an in
dication of the form of statement
which will be prepared on the basis
of actual inventories taken at the
close of the present school year.

cathcart Makes Statement Re-
gafding Epidemic of Assault
caSeS-lury Should Fix the
Punishment. Is the Opinion
of City and County Attorney

Dissatisfaction with the Territorial
statute that places on the circuit
judge the responsibility of choosing
between the two sentences of life i'm,
prisonment or hanging for a prisoner
convicted of criminal assault appears
to be growing among the members OF
the legal fraternity, reaching a new
stage in its spread this morning when
Chin FAINT the Chinese convicted 81
this ooense few days ago, was sen.
fenced to life imprisonment by Nudge
Robinson this morning.
Attorney General Alex. Lindsay, Jr.,
declared few days ago, when Nung
Chung was given a similar sentence
for like offense, that in his opinion
the law Is unfair, and should be modi.
fed in such manner that conviction
by the jury would specify a definite
penalty, relieving the court of the
,onus.
at is quite apparent the punish
ment given now Is not producing the
desired result" said City and County
Attorney Cathcart this morning, to a
representative of the Start Bulletin.
He did not recommend the extreme
penalty in this mornings case, declin-
ing to make any suggestion then that
would influence the courts decision.
But outside the court he asserted:
Capital punishment, believe,
must be inflicted if the wave of crime
of this character is to be effectually
checked in the islands. Life impris-
.cnment apparently is having little
effect.
Fifth Conviction In year.
This is the fifth conviction for this
particular kind of crime that we have
had in Honolulu in the las. year, and
the third Of the kind since the first of
last January, Four of those convicted
have been Chinese, the fifth being a
Hawaiian And right on top of the
last one, on the day that Chin Fan
