WOULD, FREE ISLAND

Important Object of Scientific
Expedition Result of Reports
Made by Other Experts

With shotguns and growing trees
as their most delicate instruments
for scientific research, four learned
gentlemen landed from the transport
Thomas this morning, to tranship
to the revenue cutter Thetis Tor a
voyage OF observation and explora-
ton among the bird islands to the
westward of Hawaii. They are rep
resenting the department of agricul-
ture, the main object of the trip be-
ing to make of Laysan island a prop
er bird preserve, and also to study
the habits of the feathered tribes that
use the low-lying islands of the Pa
cific as refugees.
The determination of rabbits on
Laysan is about the most important
undertaking that these men of sci
ence mus tackle, for reports of pre-
vious expeditions have all been to the
effect that unless the pests were
killed OF, they would soon eat every
scrap Of verdure on the island, max
ing it uninhabitable for the several
species of rare land birds that are
now found there. SO war on rab-
hts will be declared as soon as the
party is landed on Laysan's inhospit-
able shores. ...- -

This could hardly be called

are SO numerous and unafraid that it
is quite usual for them to gather
round the occasional human visitor
in search of food and companionship.
One member OF the expedition sent.
out by the University of iowa during.
1911, complained that whiles he was
asleep a whole family of rabbits sur
rounded him and demolished his lux
uriant wfiskers, evidently mistaking
them for spinach. -.
Another task which the party will
have to accomplish is to estimate the
number of birds on the island. This
will be somewhat difficult, as it is
said that there is a strong family re-
semblance between many OF the birds,
opening up the chance of counting the
same bird more than once.
To replace the vegetation destroyed
by the mischievous rabbits. the party
is well supplied with trees and plants
in assorted lengths. These will be
coaxed to grow and carefully watch

care of themselves.

CALL RECALL
MOST VICIOUS

The recall feature of the proposed
commission or short-ballot form of
government for Honolulu already is
attracting considerable interest and a
deal of discussion, especially among
the members Of the legal profession,
many of whom are radically opposed
to the theory of the recall on general
principal. averring it to be wi
cious" feature in modern government
Assistant Attorney General Arthur
G. Smith, commenting briefly on this
subject today asserted: =. .s5
Il heartily agree with the senti-
ment expressed in the Star-Bulletin
editorial of yesterday on the recall;
but | think the writer should have
gone even further in suggesting safe
guards, giving the Officeholder fair
deal.

cases the recall is a bad thing.

vision, permitting the electors to
start a recall against an official in

1t doesn't give him a chance to do
any real work or to show what kind
of administration he really wants to
give the public.
An Evil Feature.
Moreover, | think that the recall,
as commonly used in the municipali-
Ties. on the mainland, is made pos
sible by a smaller number of sign
ers to the petitions than it should be.

call petition for any public official,
no matter who he may be. in fact.
men will sign petitions much quicker
than they will go to the polls and
vote. think the recall should be
made possible only after a majority
of the electors have given their con
sent in each particular instance"
Circuit Judge Whitney voiced an
almost identical opinion. "A man
should be given fair chance to
show what he intends to do, and six
months time is not sufficient. The
Iecall certainly is a dangerous thing"
