FRUIT FLY MEN ARE
GIVEN WIDE POWERS
(From saturday,s Advertiger. J

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
/ Governor Frear yesterday gave his
approval to the amendment voted for
at the last meeting of the board of
agriculture and forestry, of the rule
concerning the powers of inspectors in
the employ of the board in connection
with the fruit fly campaign. AS the
rule now stands, the inspectors are
authorized to take drastic measures in
case householders do not keep their
premises free from rotting fruit. The
inspectors are empowered, much as
board of health inspectors are, to enter
the premises and see that necessary
work is done.
The amendment to the rule was made
largely in view of the beginning of the
mango season. According to w. M.
Giffard, chairman of the fruit fly cam
paign organization and of the board of
agriculture and forestry, the fallen
mango is grave menace at this time.
He proposes to see to it that the fruits
are not left rotting on the ground in
the district of Honolulu, for it is
claimed that a single mango might
breed million fruit flies. Under the
reinforced rule, the inspectors of the
bureau will see to it that the mangoes
are destroyed.

government and you III have to go a
long way to get anybody better than
he is. If we let this Kuhio-Frear con-
troversy come up there will be lot
of renegades and cheap politicians in
that convention to back it up, and it
will be a helluva job to have the ad-
ministration endorsed. If you want the
Republican, party defeated 60 ahead"
This last statement brought from Mr..
Wilmington a whitening denunciation of
Kuhio. "I think it is disgrace the
way things have gone on here. / have
nothing but kindly feelings for Kuhio,
and have been in sympathy with him
in some of his grounds of opposition
to the Governor, but when he comes
back here from Washington, and de-
serts his post, it arouses my suspicion.
When see the white leaders of the
party forming Taft league and falling
down before Kuhio and giving him an
opportunity to kick them, it makes my
bile rise. They present him program
and he says he doesn't I think it is
right to agree on names-that that
should be left to the people. Today he
has agreed upon the names of those who
should 90 to Chicago. They are afraid
it won t be carried through. If we
want decent politics here We can't dc
business that way. think it is per
feetly proper for the convention to en-
dorse Governor Frear. If there is to
be fight, let's face it and not run
away"
"Why have 1t now at this conven
tion," asked Mr.. Swain. "Wait unit
the territorial convention meets and
then scrap out our local issues"
Mr.. harris said that any movement
to endorse the Governor would meaI
that Kuhio would be endorsed and that
would defeat the purpose of the present
proposition. He said the party wanted
to send to Chicago a solid delegation

BURNT MATCH PUTS POLICE ON TRACK
OF ABRAMS BURGLAR NOW IN JAIL

The officer then went to the cable
He was handed box of the Eddy
match, made and sold nowhere else ex-
cept Canada, which were the exact
duplicates of his souvenir.
The captain of the ship was taken
into the police confidence and agreed
to, say nothing about it, the chief in
tending to have the man ''tired'' just
before the ship sailed and forcing him
to pack up all his belongings which
would presumably include the stolen
articles, under which circumstances he
would find them in his baggage.
A few hours later, however, he found
the news to be spread all over the
ship. He was compelled to arrest Nj
toma at once and proceeded with his
investigations. He found out that the
cook had left the ship Saturday after
noon, theAbrams going to the PENN
sula Saturday evening and their home
being robbed Saturday night.
There was every evidence that the
robbery had been performed by a man
who knew the house and the habits of
its inmates. Only those places where
jewels had been kept were rifled and
Nitoma was not only known to know
where those places were, but had re-
marked on them to his employer. The
robber had also taken several oranges
out of the icebox and gone into the
parlor to peel and eat them.
Nitoma was then accused of the
crime and at once told of his move
ments on that Saturday which did not
include any reference to the Abrams
home. He gave the names of the
places and friends he had visited. The
chief then called on those friends
Each of them had heard of Nitoma =
arrest and also cooked up a "yarn. y
Not any of the numerous ones prepared
agreed in any detail.
The chief came to the conclusion last
night that he had an ironclad case
against the man and charged him ac
lcordingly.

GOVERNOR HAS NOT
EXPRESSED HIMSELF

In connection with reports from
Washington that the matter of sending
commissioner here to investigate the
Kuhio charges was undecided, Governor
Frear was asked yesterday if he had
expressed any opinion or preference in
the matter, in his Washington CORE
spondence. "I have not been asked
for an opinion and have not expressed
myself one way or the other on the sub
ject,' he said.
In administration circles it appears
to be generally felt that visit from
Secretary of the Interior Fisher would
be very welcome. The Governor g sup
porters express themselves as feeling
that ii would be fine thing for th'
Territory If Fisher would come, whether
at the request of the Delegate or OF
general principles.

BOSS OF THE ROADS
(From Saturdays Advertiser.l

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
''We have selected L. M. Whitehouse
for city engineer" said Supervisor
Kruger yesterday. "I think he is a
good man for the job, and he will get
the majority of votes of the board. -
The selection was decided on at a
caucus of the supervisors. The four
votes were not hard to get for White
house. He is regarded as good out-of-
doors man and is expected to take hold
of the city work and get the best re-
suits. He will be given free hand and
will not be hampered by politics.
Supervisor Kruger will send to Pres
ident Pratt of the board of health to.
day a list of seventeen applicants for
board of health inspectorships, and will
ask the president to name Monday as
the day for holding examinations.
The health committee of the city will
purchase several hundred feet of hose
for use in flushing the fish markets
twice week. The same hose will also
be used for flushing the streets in the
vicinity of the markets to keep the
bitulithic surfaces free of dirt and dust
The same committee is also preparing
an ordnance to regulate the sale OF
ice fish. No fish of this class will b'
permitted to be kept for sale for more
than two days.
The garbage department has two new
wagons but no mules for hauling them
Four mules will cost $1,000.

Arrested three days ago by Chief
McDufie and rushed to cell in the re-
ceiving station, Nitoma, a Japanese,
was yesterday the subject of an an
nouncement by the chief that the man
who robbed the L. Abrams residence
on Beretania street two weeks ago Of
valuable jewelry had been caught.
With purely circumstantial case,
Chief McDuffie believes that no man
was ever so directly accused by the evil
6ence as is Nitoma of the Abrams burg
larry and the man will be accordingly
charged at once with that crime in the
first degree. One little burnt match is
the keystone of the entire case.
Treasured for these two weeks in the
chiefs safe has been this burnt stub,
picked up by him at the foot of the
staircase in the Abrams home. 1t was
round with several grooves in it and a
faint line around the base where it had
been gripped by the machinery.
For these two weeks the chief has
been going around to every store in the
city, Chinese, Japanese, and big whole
salers trying to find the same sort of
matches, but none looked like it in the
least. He went aboard all the vessels
of the fleet and all merchantmen in
port, but was equally unsuccessful.
Three nights ago, he received call
from Clarence Macfarlane, who resides
with the Abrams, saying that their old
cook who had left two weeks ago was
paying visit to them and that he had
matches like those which were found in
the house the morning after the rob
berry.
The chief went out there at once, but
Nitoma had become suspicious through
questioning about the matches and ha6
left. The chief learned that he ha6
left the Abrams place after long ant
favorable service to join the cable shiI
Restorer as second cook. The Japanese
had made the trip with the vessel t
Midway and had just returned.

Raises in land values have great deal

KEEPING TAB ON
THE HOMESTEADS
Land Department to Have Re-
ports Every Few Months
on All Settlers.
(FrOm Saturdays Advertiser.) )

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
If the land department ever gets
into another controversy like the one
now in the courts, in which the much
discussed Henderson suit is a test for
lot of Hakalau homestead title cases,
it will be ready with the records of
what the homesteaders did from the
time they settled-or didn't settle-on
the lands in question.
Commissioner Tucker has ar
ranged" said Governor Frear yester-
day afternoon, "for reports from the
various districts on how the various
settlers are getting on. The reports
will come in from all the districts,
every six months or so.
The Hakalau cases are being fought
out to some extent on questions of fact,
as to how much time the homesteaders
actually spent on their lots, and how
much tree planting and other work they
did during the time when they were
supposed to be acquiring title. From
now on, the land department will have
its own reports on these matters, also
on the general progress made by the
settlers.
Settlers Doing Well.
An encouraging report was received
by the Governor, through Commissioner
]. d. Tucker, concerning number OF
Laupahoehoe homesteaders who have
taken up lots within the past fifteen
months. The settlement of most of the
lots was made possible by the last
amendments to the laws, and the re-
ports show q successful working of the
new system.
The settlers are on cane land, and are
mostly engaged in canegrowlng ano
vegetable raising. "There were thirty
two lots. opened about fifteen months
ago. said the Governor. "A do2er
of them were taken at once, and Others
have been taken up from time to time
1t is one of the advantages of the
changes in the land laws that wher
land has once been opened and adver
tised, it is always ready for settlers Il
there be any of it left. Under this sys
tenn we have been settling homesteader
from time to time, on these lands.
'iThe reports show that thirteen o
the settlers are Hawaiians, eigh
Portuguese, six Russians, three othe
whites and two japanese. One too
the land on a straight homesteadin
plan, six on the cash freehold basis, 81
under special homesteading agreement
and nineteen under right of purchas
leases.
Are Growing Cane.
"Thus far the report just receive
shows that eighteen of the settlers haN
cultivation of their land well undt
way, most of the land is devoted
cane and vegetable gardens. Fourtee
of the settlers have arranged for II
building of homes, and most of the
have begun to live on the land. Thr'
are planning or putting up only ter
porary residences, but some are puttiT
up very good houses.

Compromise Desired to
End Industrial
Warfare.

LONDON, March 23---Premier As
quith is to make one more effort to
bring the striking coal miners and the
mine operators to terms before pressing
the Minimum Wage Bill to a final vote
in the house of commons. He has call
ed for another conference, at which he
will urge the disputing parties to com
promise and bring to an end the al
most intolerable conditions that are re-
sulting throughout the United Kingdom
from the industrial war.
1t is understood that the operators Of
the English and the Welsh mines are
willing to meet the terms of the strik-
ers in part, but heretofore the Scotch
operators have held out and blocked
solution of the trouble that is Grip
ping the kingdom IS trade.
The miners are not at all satisfied
with the terms of the minimum wage
legislation presented to the commons as
a government measure and the premier
will attempt to present before them at
the conference the unfairness of pass
ing a minimum wage at high fig
ure and forcing the mine owners to
recognize it, when the government has
no power to force the miners to work at
any figure set by parliament.
Yesterday, the strikers, through their
representatives in the commons, pre-
sented the demands of the miners in an
amendment to the Minimum Wage Bill.
The amendment gave $1.25 a day as the
minimum wage for men and fifty cents
for boys employed underground. The
premier, on behalf of the government,
refused to accept the amendment.
The conference arranged last night
by Asquith will take place on Monday.
The settlement of the strike depends
largely on the outcome of this emergen-
cy meeting.

CAPITAL ". G. 7. U.
TO FLAY CANTEEN
Meeting Will Be Held to Attack
Anti-sufragists in New
York.

Sentiments expressed by Gen. Nelson
A. Miles at a meeting of the New York
W. c. T. u, which opposed the re-estab-
lishment Of the army canteen on the
grounds that It would spell disaster for
the army, are the subject Of much COM
mendation by women AFFILIATED with the
washington branch of the organization.
The New York meeting was arranged
to counteract the alleged harm done by
statements published by the antfssuf-
fragists Of that city, who declared them
selves in favor OF the canteen, and II
is probable that a similar meeting win
be held in this city. Miss Louise Weight
man, secretary OF the local branch. will
arrange such a meeting.
The army canteen." said Miss Weight
man, does more harm than good. We
are not concerned as greatly In the soldier,
who already Is addicted to drink, as we
are to the recruits, who join the army
from obscure country towns, and who
have never tasted liquor. The older SOL
der will get liquor when he wants It..
but a young man would hesitate before
he would go out and look for 1t.
THE proximity of a canteen tempts
the recruit. and he decides TO try the
liquor. Within a short time he becomes
a habitual drinker. The attitude Of the
New York anti-suffragists surprises me.
/ don't see how intelligent women can
sanction such an evil. / am sorry they
have advocated the restoration Of the
canteen."
