No Home Is Safe
From Awful Crime
Says DR.. Scudder

Editor Star; Last Tuesday a white
man followed a group of girls, pupils
of Central Grammar School, annoying
them by suggestive approach. On
Wednesday he appeared on the
grounds of the school and made in
decent exposure of his person before
teveral of the girls. He learned by
inquiry of prisoner working on the
grounds the location Of the girls toilet.
Secreting himself therein or thereby
he awaited his chance. Shortly after
the noon recess a dear little girl of
nine entered the toilet and was soon
surprised by the appearance of the
man, who seized her and prepared to
make criminal assault. In doing so
he bent over and the child utterly
unable through fright to utter a sound
gave him vigorous push. To save

LAND
CASE APPEALED

The Alfred Rannie Henderson land
case, which has caused 80 much talk
and the ruling q Judge Parsons on
which has created much CONSERVATION
lin governmental circles, is now in the
supreme court, on appeal by the land
commissioner. The record was re-
ceived and filed by Clerk James
Thompson this morning. The matter
is, for court purposes, entitled, In
the Matter of the Dispute Between AL
fred Rannie Henderson and Charles S.
Judd, Commissioner of Public Lands
for the Territory of Hawaii"
Judge Robinson this morning, after
hearing argument, denied the motion
of W. c. Achi, attorney for the plain
tin, to vacate the judgment previously
rendered in the ejectment case of Lei

After a trial that took up several
afternoons, the suit Of David Kamo-
kumahakea against Kaaemoku Kaku-
lu, bill in equity, resulted in Judge
Coopers court in the dismissal of the
bill, with costs of $3.50 assessed
against the plaintiff. The dispute was
over land claimed by both parties but
held by the defendant.

involuntarily loosed his hold and the
girl, whose good angel lent her speed,
dashed out of he toilet and into the
Gchooihouse. But for this mere
chance the man would have contum-
mated his purpose and to cover up his
crime would doubtless have added
murder to base assault.
This child is the daughter of a
lovely mother and comes from re-
fined home connected with Central
Union Church. All of the children
approached by the man were white.

Honolulu Gas Company
Shows Steady Progress

The annual meeting of the Honolulu
Gas Company, Limited, took place
this morning. OF the 5000 shares OF
capital stock, over $500 were present
OF represented at the meeting to lis,
ten to the reports and elect a new
board of directors for the ensuing
year,
The following statements of inter
est are condensed from the annual
report of the president, w. r. CASTLE
"The gas company is slowly getting
ahead. Very few appreciate the diff
culties to be ovrecome in a country
like Hawaii, where gas is unknown
except to those who have moved here
from gas-using communities. In spite
of the very great convenience of gas
for fuel and the fact that 1t is down
to figure so low as to make It
cheaper than other fuels in many in
stances, and the light is far superior
to electricity for the eye, yet the
progress has been slow. One of the
difficulties is the amount of main It
takes to reach customers. This is
owing to the generous premises
around dwelling houses in Honolulu.
Where houses are in rows on the
street, as in many cities in the United
States, twenty-five feet of pipe will
reach two customers-one on each
side Of the street. Here it often takes
from $50 to 200 feet to get one Gus
toner. It was also found that black
pine, which was first used, is absolutely
useless under the conditions Of this

The report of Reiks shows that there
will be less dredging than was thought
to be needed, in connection with the
new Hilo wharf. On Wednesday next

that the accident which overturned

THE CHAUFFEUR IN KAU ACCIDENT

The doctors are doing all that is

A slight improvement has been no

swinging them up to grasp hold of
the head of the bed. He suffers lit

extensions of the system to be made
but, for the number of consumers,
Honolulu has the record length of
street mains of any of the gas cities
in the United States. During the
year the company has put in great
Improvements in the works, and is
installing a 2OOOOO-foot gas holder,
which will insure the city for some
time to come against sudden loss of
gas in case of any disaster.
Gas is made-perhaps most of our
customers are aware-from crude oil.
Therefore, there are not the number
of by-products that are produced from
COAL but the SCOT, which so far is the
only by product saved, is a valuable
fuel, and the company is now ex-
perimenting with the making of
birquettes, which will be easily han
died and themselves make a valuable
fuel. Indeed, this fuel is now being
used by number of concerns in the
city.

there have been additions and i'm

CHINESE BOYS
RIGHT TO STAY

Tam Nee, the young Chinese boy
who came to Honolulu from China as
student but who left school and
went to work driving a delivery wa
gon, will in all probability not be de-
ported, the weight of evidence at the
hearing before the United States Com
missioner this morning being that, al
though the boy has by his own act
left the student class, he has entered
the merchant class and is therefore
eligible to remain in this country.
When it was learned that Tam Nee
was no longer attending school but
was driving a delivery wagon for
wages, he was arrested at the instance
of the Federal immigration authorities
as being illegally in the country.
1t was brought out at the hearing
before the commissioner this morning,
however, that the boys brother is a
Chinese merchant and that Tam Nee
himself is to acquire an interest in
the business, which would put him in
the merchant class.
United States Commissioner Davis
announced that, while he was not pre-
pared to rule finally in the matter, It
appeared to him that the boy was not
Illegally in the country. He prom
sed to give his ruling at two o'clock
next Monday afternoon. At the sug-

SANITARY PLAN
FOR SCHOFIELD

Yesterday DR.. Pratt paid a visit to
Schofeld Barracks, at the invitation
of General Macomb. The command
ing officer wanted to get DR.. Pratt's
idea of sanitary scheme for the new
barracks, and the opinion of the presi-
dent of the Board of Health was free
ly given.
By this mornings mail Dr. Pratt re-
.ceived advices from Chief Inspector
Bowman of Hawaii. The inspector
writes to say that the rat campaign is
going on well on the big island, and
that the extra inspectors are catching
a lot of rodents.
Other health matters are good on
the outlying islands, while the sani-
tary scheme for Kauai is still being
thought out by the health board.

CRITICS OF
HARBOR PLAN
CHALLENGED

THE big waterfront improvement
proposition, which the Board of Har
Dor Commissioners has suggested, has
already started a big lot of contro.
versy," stated Secretary E. A. Berndt,
of the commission, this morning.
Most of the critics of the plan claim
it is too big-that it is premature by
some twenty years. They do not be-
lieve that the harbor facilities at pres.
ent are unduly taxed to take care of
the present business, nor that there
Is to be any marked demand upon
these facilities for a-good many years
to come"
The commission will give these crit
les all opportunity to express them
selves, at a public meeting which will
be held on March 10. At this time
the matter Of general harbor improve
ment, and of the proposed belt line
railway around the harbor front, will
be thrown open to general discussion.
"The commissioners have not made
any very close figures on the scheme" I"
continued Mr., Berndt, NOR will it
probably be practicable to do so. But
the idea is to decide on some plan on
such broad basis that 1t can be de-
veloped over period of years to meet

SOME BOYS FOR
KAHUKU SCHOOL

Matters are getting under way as
regards the establishing Of the sec
ondary Industrial school at Kahulku
1t is hoped that before long a suffl-
cient number of boys will be obtained
to get the agricultural school going.
The plantation people are ready to
go ahead as soon as the boys are Sc
cured. The erection of the buildings
will be commenced as soon as there
is no doubt that fifty lads, at least,
win be ready to start in on the work
of cultivating the cane fields that are
to be turned over to them.
At the present time several gentle.
men interested in the scheme are
looking around for likely boys. A
few have been arranged for, and in
every instance the parents of the lads
have been grateful for the opportunity
given their sons to learn a very use
full trade.
Those who have the matter in hand
are determined that only a good type
of boy will be allowed to enter the
agricultural school, The place will be
self-suprorting, and there is pros
pect that, at the end of the second
year, there will be a profit over and
above the running expenses.
Inspector Gibson is deepely inter-
ested in the scheme and is doing all
he can TO make it a success.

the demands Of growing commerce.
The members believe that some such
system should be decided upon at
once, and that anything in the way of
temporary or makeshift improvements
should not be considered"
Fred l.. Waldron, whose large COM
mission business brings him closely
in touch with the commerce of the
port, scouts the idea that it is a min
ute too soon to begin preparing for
the business that he is absolutely GER
tain is coming to Honolulu within the
next few years. Twenty years is not
a bit too far to look into the future"
was his declaration this morning in
discussing the matter. 81 have not
looked into the plans which the Har-
Dor Commissioners propose" he con-
tiIlled, "and therefore can't give any
opinion on them, but 1t is not too soon
to get busy. Any one who thinks that
Honolulu's commerce has reached it's
limit is in the same class as the man
who has been predicting disaster to
the sugar business ever since 1 came
here twenty years ago, and / don't
know how much before that time.
There is the same class Of citizens in
every city, and they are not the ones
who help build. They are asleep"

state has decided against the plan for this reason, and it may be just
as well to forget it until some law is passed providing for it.
The editor has always been opposed to a primary law, and has
onenlv EXPRESSED himself in these columns in the past, and the prin
cipal reason he has always given, is that there n way to prevent the
minority party going to the polls and asking for the majority
party ticket, and assisting in putting up a weak candidate, in order to
the minority party a chance at victory, when there is no real
contest on for nomination in his party.
During the last campaign W opposed the law, but the vote of the
people indicated that they wanted it, AMI We made no objection to the
act of the last Legislature, futh-r than expressing the thought that if
thew wer going to have a primary law, they should draw no lines, as
was done when they eliminated the possibility of presidential prefer
ence by the people.
In Soutb Dakota last week the Democrats packed the primaries
to vote for LaFolette as the Republican nominee for president, and
such acts a these IRE many where the primary law prevails. The law
has never been satisfactorily worked out in any state where it has
