REACHED MAUI

The Mediterranean fruithy has
reached Maui at last, showing that
the inter-island quarantine inspection
has proved futile in preventing the
spread of the pest among the islands
Announcement that the pest has been
discovered on Maui reached Prof FL

from the island in question.
The fly, a specimen of which was
forwarded, was found by ]. R. Davis,
the U. S. Government inspector on
the island, who captured it in kero-
sene trap at Waikapu on the estate
of P. Cockett.
Davis has been working on the ISL
and since February and has had
traps at Paia, Hamakuapoko and Wal
lnku, but the only specimen found was
that reported from Waikapu this
morning.

DR.. Victor S. Clark, chief of the ter
ritorial bureau of labor, immigration
and statistics, will sail in the next
steamer for Manchuria to arrange for
the importation to HaWaii of a num-
Ter of Russian families, whose en-
trance here through private immigra-
ton companies has been forbidden by
the authorities at Washington.
The Russians have gathered there
in response to letters written by their
friends and relatives here. In speak
ing of his plans Dr. Clark said:
During the past six months small
parties of Russians, about forty-nine
families, related for the most part to
Russians already settled in Hawaii,
have been coming to Honolulu, part
OF their passage being paid by this
department. With the exception OF
two or three families these people are
all settled on plantations, on home
steads, or at Parker Ranch. These
Russians have been booked at Dalny

Colonization Association. a Hawaiian
corporation of which F. B. Mcstocker

.MOTHERIN-LAW CALLED DOWN
FOR SIGNALING TO WITNESS

Mrs. w. H. Smith, mother of Mil
dred Bruins who Is suing Harry Bruins
for divorce, was accused in open court
this morning by Attorney Frank
Thomas of indicating to her daughter,
then on the witness stand, by mods,
shakes of her head and movements OF
her lips what answers the daughter
should make to the queries propound-
ed to her by her attorney.
Mr.. Thompson was very diplomatic
in his statement. He would not for
the world impute bad faith to Mrs.
Smith; nothing like that, of course
not. But he thought the court should
know what wss was going on. I'm
doubtedly, Mrs. Smith was influenced
purely by affection for her daughter
and had no intention of acting in bad
faith+-but the fact remained that she
was constantly nodding, shaking her
head and moving her lips in silent re-
ply to- the questions asked of the, wit
ness on the stand. ~
Attorney Peters, representing the
libellant, jumped to his feet and OBJ
iected to the statement. WhereuDon,
Thompson instantly offered to prove
the truth of it, Peters didn't take him
up. He said counsers word was good
enough.

THE DOG "ABSALOM" RUNS DOWN
A TRUCULENT PRACTICAL JOKER

Who says that "Absalom" the
houn' dawg of Honolulu, has seen his
best days as a sleuth?
The old bloodhound, which has
been in retirement for several days
following an attempt to induce him to
enter vaudeville, solved malodorous
crime at the Territorial immigrant
station this morning, and he did it
with the same old nose with which
in former years he followed the
spoor of fugitive criminals. He also
demonstrated that his olfactory nerves
can stand any amount of shock
1t happened in this wise. When
DR. Victor Clark attempted to call up

the wire. "Phew!" he remarked, Il
knew garlic was strong, but didn't

"Absalom."
The old dog visits the immigrant
station daily because variegated odors
are more plentiful there than any
where else, and to a bloodhound this
is naturally pleasing. So "Abasolm"
was there, and Kearns saw in flash
that the dog would solve the problem
of hunting down the miscreant.
He permitted "Absalom" to sniff
