SIGHT OF CAT IN THE DARK
When Feline Is In Search Of Mouse
Where the Light is Dim Pupils
Of Eyes Open Wide.

Some persons win tell you that cats
can see in the dark. Now nothing can
see In the dark. but some animals can
see with a great deal less light than
others Just as some cameras will take
picture with less light than others.
You open or close the lens in camera
according to the amount OF light. or
else You speed up the shutter or slow
1t down.
The human eye does this automat-
icaliy, as the pupil expands or con
tracts according to the amount of light
TO which 1t is exposed; but cats can
expand or contract the pupils of their
eyes at pleasure. Just as you open or
shut the stops in the lens OF your
camera.
When cats are not particularly anx-
ious to see anything the pupils OF
their eyes become nothing but narrow
slits, like this:

Aviator Easily Detects Animals Sought
by Members Of California
Rifle Club.

Santa Clara, Cal.-Swooping over
the foothills recently. Glenn Martins

and hearing. The occasion was the
coyote hunt OF the Santa Ana Rife

capture Of one coyote. a big fellow
The carcass was strapped to the aero
plane and was taken as passenger to
Santa Ana
The hunters had hoped to bring in
half dozen of the pests, but were
unable to begin their hunt until after
seven o'clock. II had been planned
to begin at 4:30 o'clock, in order to
catch the sneaking animals before
they got back into the brushy hills
By an oversight the gate of the pas
ture In which the foothills are located
was left locked. and 1t was seven
O'Clock before the hunters could pro-
coed. The hunters covered ground
from the old San Joaquin ranch house
to the hills directly back OF Corona
Del Mar.
Martin waited until after the fog
raised before venturing to fly. He did
not like the idea of going through the
fog sixty miles an hour with the pos
sibility that he would suddenly find

rise over It. After the fog lifted

The supervising principals met at
eight o'clock this morning in the
senate chamber to hear the reports Of
the five committees who have been
working on the changes in the courses
of study. The chairmen reported their
work completed and arranged in type
written form ready for tho inspection
of the commissioners.
At the same time, the commission
ers were meeting in Educational Su-
erintendent Popes office, arranging
such school matters relative to the
island of Hawaii as designations of
teachers, new buildings, appointments,
etc
In the course of the meeting, it
was reported that the supervisors
were ready to submit their reports as
soon as the commissioners were ready,
and on the suggestion of Superintend-
ent Pope it was decided to reconvene
in the senate chamber at 1:3O to hear
the reports of the committees.
The meeting of the supervisors took
the form Of an informal discussion
The reports were read and talked over
and there were none Of the clashes
which typified the earlier meetings. of

In the report of the committee, no
mention as made of the Normal school

STABBED TO DEATH

Continued from page onc"O
courtmartial on charge or Involuntary
manslaughter to clear ms record.
Feeling against the Advertiser Is
running high at Schoneld Barracks be-
cause of the grossly inaccurate story
in that publication on Sunday morning
regarding the tragedy The morning
paper gives the name of the slayer as
Cook Thomas V. McAleer. This man
! pictured as a murderer is in San Fran
cisco and has been there for some
time. The victims name is given by
the Advertiser as Private Archosky.
This man is a member of the battery
but is alive and well, and was not in
| the vicinity of the scene of tragedy.
He hes relatives living on the main.
| land who no doubt have been notified
of his sudden and untimely taking
+ off.
An unintentional killing is por-
trayed as a bloody murder, with the
murderer a man who is in San Fran
cisco and the victim a man who was
not present at the time he was sup
! posed to have been slain.
The commanding officer of e bat
! terry came to Honolulu today to recti-
! fly the mistake. The story in the Ad-
vertiser caused an indignation meeting
at Schofield Barracks last night" he
| said The amount of misrepresenta-
! ton contained therein was something
I frightful and an investigation is now
under way to ascertain who supplied
the newspaper with the story.
! Cook McGreadie, who was responsi-
BILE for the death of his friend is one
of the best men in the service. Three
officers including myself, who investi-
I gated, found that the killing was alb
solutely unintentional and McGreadie
| is in such a state of mind that a guard
was placed over him to keep him from
committing suicide
"The story of the tragedy is this:
On Saturday night between seven and
eight o'clock, Cook McGreadie and Ak
| terski, who wa5 a dining room orderly,
were skylarking in the mess hall. Ak
tersk WIS a close friend of Nc
Greadie's who secured him the detail
as orderly. In the scuffling Akterski
picked up a tin plate and threw it at
McGreadie and then ran out into the
| darkness. McGreadie picking up a
knife ran after him. The men were
tagging each other in the darkness,
when they collided and the knife held
by McGreadie entered Akterski's
breast, Witnesses, who testified on
their oath, state that both men we're
laughing and calling jokingly at each
other during the scuffling until Akter-
ski exclaimed, Mac, you've cut me-"
mo, I haven't" said McGreadie.
Let's go back into the kitchen"
con arriving in the kitchen Me-
| Greadie saw that his friend was in
iured and dispatched. another cook for
! the ambulance and some first aid band
ages. Then he reported to me. I call
ed up the hospital to get a statement
from Akterski only to learn that he
I'had died on the way.
There doesn't seem to be any ex-
cuse for such a story as appeared yes
terday. To make it worse, no appar-
ent effort was made to verify the
story afterward, for this mornings
