REMEDY FOR SCALE
ON BANANAS FOUND
BY Willy CHINESE

The labors undertaken by one Her
sules in cleaning out famous set of
stables are nothing compared to the
task undertaken by local Chinese
grower of Hawaiian bananas. The
story would be laughable were there
not other elements therein that are of
more Importance than mere humor.
The Chinaman 8 banana patch was
badly infested by scale and was visited
some time ago by Dr. Il. V. Wilcox,
making an educational tour of these
little plantations
''The only thing you can do with
this patch If you ever hope to get any
bananas into California; said the hor-
ticulturist, "is to cut it all down and
start over again"
"No,'' said tho oriental with en-
phasis, "me lub off scale with a lag"
The doctor contemplated the huge
patch with hundreds of punches ready
to cut, calculated rapidly what it would
mean to rub the scale off the individual
bananas and stems in that patch and
retreated in despair. Just day or
so ago, however, he paid the banana
grower second visit and there were
the cut lunches, hundreds of them,
just as clean and free from scale as
they could possibly be.
q" How did you do itH" he inquired.
dubbed i'm with lag" responded
the triumphant one.
Since then DR.. Wilcox has been
philosophizing at some length on the
patience of the oriental.

NOTED HORSEMAN
BADLY INJURED

Ben Gallagher, the foremost horse
trainer and breaker in the Islands, is
at the Queens Hospital seriously and
perhaps fatally injured as the result of
a slight fall from tallyho yesterday
afternoon. Gallagher was just re-
turning from trip around the Island
with the tallyho and was turning into
the Stockyards Stables at King and
Punchbowl streets, when the accident
occurred, He was stepping from his
seat and, accustomed to the vehicle,
was careless IN dismounting. For once,
however, he missed the hub of the
wheel which forms step in the de,
scent and fell heavily to the ground,
striking the back of his head against
the cement floor of the stables. %,
The police ambulance was summoned
and Gallagher taken the short distance
to the hospital. Blood was flowing
from his ears as he was removed to
the operating room and it is feared
that his skull might be fractured. y
Gallagher, in the course of his career
as trainer and breaker, has received
falls and knocks that would have killed
ordinary men and he has reputation
about the entire group for daredevil
try unexcelled by that of any other
single man. That so slight a misstep
should do what hundreds of unbroken
and wild horses have been unable to
do through forty years work in the
saddle testifies again to Fate's lronies.

NEW YORK, April 2s.--In an In
dignant statement issued iato last
night, J. Bruce Ismay, chairman of the
board Of directors of tho White Star
line, and a passenger on board the
liner Titanic, when she sank Off the
Grand Banks, ono week ago, denied
that ho had in any way concerned
himself with the navigation of the ves-
sci, and praised the conduct of Cap
tain Smith.
Mr.. 1smay said that, while it was
true that efforts were being made to
establish a record for the vessels
maiden trip across tho Atlantic, no
precaution was omitted, and that the
circumstances were such az every
steamer desiring to make fast time
from port to port, is compelled to face.
There is always risk in making any
sea voyage, he added, but that the
character of the men in charge of the
Titanic was guarantee that there was
no carelessness or unnecessary chance
taken

Compromises Refused
Estate Will Go
to Court
FORCE LANDS OPEN
Two Hundred Acres In
Market Following
Assessment

Preparations are now being made by
some of the largest land holding in
terests in the Islands to wage bit
ter fight on values assessed against
them. Foremost among these is the
Bishop Estate, which according to
statements yesterday, will carry its
fight as high as the United Safes Su-
preme Court.
The new assessments, which will
raise the total value of Island prop.
srty by twenty-five million dollars,
have had among other things, the ef-
feet of throwing 200 acres of Bishop
Estate land into the city realty market.
For years this particular plot which
lies back of the Kamehameha Schools
and beside the Alewa Heights tract,
mas been valued by the tax Office at
perfunctofy acreage figures. This year
it was determined that city property
IS city property and the testimony of
actual sales in adjoining lots showed
that it formed part of valuable
city district, 1t was therefore assess
ed at CITY values.

LUCK
PROVES STANCH
FRIEND IN NEEO

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HlLO, April ia. r. Nielsen
might well be accounted the luckiest
man in IIilo. After having made
monkeys ont of the police and the court
twice, by breaking parole and skipping
off to Honolulu, and after having been
convicted of larceny, this child of
fortune Thursday managed to have a
sentence of month s Imprisonment,
for larceny, set aside, and to have a
fine of $50 imposed in its place Mel
sen skipped out in the Mauna Kea April
-, and so well was he hidden that the
police of Maui failed to locate him on
board. He was, however, apprehended
by the Honolulu police, and was
brought back to Hilo last week by
Sheriff Jarrett. Nielsen appeared be-
fore Judge Wise Wednesday afternoon,
charged with larceny and with con-
tempt of court.
Julio Augustine stated that Nielsen
had asked him to let him see a ten
dollar gold piece of the new issue.
Julio did so, whereupon Nielsen put it
in his pocket and walked off. As he
did not return, Julio finally realized
that this was not joke, as he had at
first supposed, and set ont to find Mel
sen and had him arrested. A hack
driver and a bootblack corroborated
Julio Is story.

Defends Himself.

In speaking of the reflections which
the local papers have made upon his
personal courage, and his conduct in
saving himself when more than six
teen hundred men aud women passen'
gers on one of his company's boats,
drowned, Mr. Ismay declares that he
has nothing to say. His conduct, he
asserts, he is satisfied to leave in tho
hands of any of the Survivors.
He says that he worked for two
hours aiding the officers and male
passengers in filling the lifeboats on
the starboard side and entered the last
only because he thought that all 9TH
ers had been provided with places, 1t
was not until after he was safely away
from the ship ana saw by her
blazing lights that there were still
crowds of people on her decks, that he
realized that n horrible catastrophe
was about to take place. 1t was then
too late for HIM to go back.

Bodies Picked up.

Fresh developments IN the Titanic
wreck came yesterday when the cable
ship Makay- Bennett wirelessea to st.
Johns, Newfoundland, that she had
picked up Ga bodies of persons believed
to have been victims of the collision
with the iceberg. There were NO
names and no identification marks by
which any of them could be told, and
the captain of the Makay- Bennett
said that he was compelled under the
circumstances to abandon many OF
them after taking them ON board.
Most of the bodies, says the dispatch,
were totally unacceptable from the
action of the water.

Nielsen's Yarn.

@NASAONA = oNAs
Nielsen told a wonderful yarn. He
claimed that Julio had asked him some
time previously to teach him to run an
automobile, and Nielsen had said that
he would do so for a tuition fee of
$40. This Julio admitted. On this
bases Nielsen built up lengthy story.
He said that the $40 he took was his
tuition fee, that he pocketed it and
thanked Julio for it, whereupon he had
gone to get machine in which to take
Julio out riding. Later he said that he
had intended to give Julio back the
money. On cross-examination Nielsen
admitted that he had lodged Julio all
over town. He then said that he had
gone to get $40 from friendly rail
road employee in order to repay Julio.
When asked what had become of the
original ten spot, he claimed that he
had hidden it under the front seat of
the Canario machine, fearing that if he
kept it on him, Julio might take it
away from him. When he was 80 en-
tangled in his statements that no other
way seemed open, Nielsen said that it
was all josh, anyhow.
The trip to Honolulu was also "ex-
planned" by Nielsen.
"rhey had me pinched on the bench
warrant" he. said $50 thought
would take a pleasure trip to Honolulu
for couple of days. ] thought I was
going to get stung, so I thought /
would go to my mother to get some
money"
Judge Wise fined him $40 on the con-
tempt charge and imprisonment for a
month on the larceny charge. And
then came the great surprise.
The prisoner said he did not want to
go to Jail. And the court agreed to
set aside the sentence, provided the
prosecution would recommend the
change. Heen wanted time for thought,
so the matter was continued until the
following morning. The following
morning Heen said that there were
several other parties complaining of
Nielsen. He thought the original
sentence was surprisingly lenient, and
might as well stand.
Judge Wise asked Nielsen what he
thought about it, He said he would
rather be fined, so fined he was, fifty
dollars.

To Cut Up Tract.

Authoritative reports state that the
Bishop Estate is now about to cut the
entire two hundred acres into resi-
Dental lots and put the whole on the
market, concluding that looking upon
land upon which subdivision taxes are
being paid as acreage is too expensive.
Various things have guided the tax
Office in raising assessments this year,
not the least of which was, the Ma
huka site verdict which boosted city
business-site values. Treasurer Co1k-
ling made this an important factor in
the calculations although 1T is under
stood Tax Assessor Wilder of this dis
trict considered it far too high. Pine
apple lands have been raised in assess
ed value on the basis that the pro-
ceeds of the crops have already auto
matically done SO. Cane lands have
been raised slightly in value, the Max
aweli plantation, Kauai, to quote an il
stance, being raised 100000 over the
Gay & Robinson returns to the tax
ASSESSOR.
Again, chief among the reasons for
the trouble which is expected from
some quarters over the assessments, is
the refusal of Treasurer Conkling to
listen to suggestions for compromise.
No Compromise.
"It has been the custom ever since
the Territory was organized for land
holders to come to the treasurer
and offer compromise, said Mr.
Conkling yesterday. 81 have been
following this rule myself for two
years, but this year could not see
why it was necessary for the Territory
to make any compromise when the as
sessments were made on what it be
lieved to be actual values. So / was
compelled to tell those who came to
consider a compromise that could dc
nothing for them. We are prepared to
take our cases to the supreme court OF
the Territory if the decision of the
appeal courts goes against us.
No appeals had been filed up to Satur
day morning, although the chances fol
appeal from the assessor IS figures end
on May l. The treasurer, however
looks for number. The appeal courts
win be, named by the Governor OIL
June l, according to law.

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accompanies the
discovery of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome it may be, makes person
look old. We all know the advantages
of being young. Aside from the good
impression youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
'looking fit" gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in a few days time :?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as q color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used "Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
we have an ideal preparation OF Sage,
combined with Sulphur and other valua-
BILE remedies for dandruff, itching scalp
and thin, weak hair that is split at the
ends or constantly coming out. A few
applications of this valuable remedy
will bring back the color, and in short
time it will remove every trace of dan
druff and greatly improve the growth
and appearance of the hair. -

ers of such vessels agree that they
may be taken and used by the gov
ernment in time of war or other pub
lie emergency, and allows railroad
owned ships engaged in foreign trade
to also carry coastwise commerce
through the canal provided that at
least half of their cargo, in tonnage,
is destined to or shipped from orien-
tai or European ports.
Upon these provisions, as lively
and interesting debate as the senate
has listened to in years may be eX-
pected.
I'm my opinion the Panama bill
should be amended in the senate to
conform to the house BILL. said Sem
ator George E. Chamberlain of Ore
gon today.
Would Prevent Competition.
Coastwise vessels should be per-
mitted to use the canal without the
payment of tolls, but this privilege
should not be granted to steamships
owned by railroads or by companies
the stock of which is owned in whole
Cr in part by railroads.
IF railroad companies are permit
ted to operate steamers through the
canal and engage in coastwise traffic
in competition with independently
owned steamship companies, the re-
suit will inevitably be that by reduc-
ing rates below a remunerative basis
steamships owned by railroad COM
panies will drive the independent
companies out of business entirely and
! leave the railroad companies to fix
| the transcontinental rates, at figures
| that will not only compensate for car
| riage but for losses sustained by their
/ steamers
This has been the history of trans
portation on both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and railroad compan-
les have for years operated steamers
at loss, driving independent lines
out of business and fixing arbitrary
rates for interstate and all continent
al traffic.
1T is part of the history of the
Pacific coast that the Southern Pa
cific company and other transconu
mental roads have operated steam
ships on the Pacific, between Panama
and points north, at heavy eXpens
and yet have been able to recou
these losses by excessive rates b
