STILL PERIL OF MAROONED PEOPLE ON HOUSETOPS STARVING
PALMYRA
TITLE IS
CLOUDEO

The title of ownership of Judge
Cooper, who claims Palmyra Island by
right of purchase, will not be regis.
tered in the court of land registration,
upon the present showing, if. the re-
port Of P. L. Weaver, examiner of
titles, be approved by Judge Whitney.
The report of the examiner had not
been formally filed this morning, but
it is known that he has prepared re.
port disappearing of the registration
of Judge Cooper's title.
This, however, prcoably will not end
the matter, as the judge will still have
to right the bring forward further
proofs of his ownership of the South
Sea island.
Although no statement to such effect
is made in the report that will be
filed, it seems probable that the ad-
verse report is based upon claims
made by other persons who declare
that they either own or have an inter
est in the island purchased a year
or two ago by Judge Cooper.

that the school could be made par.

by paying the girls for the work they
did. A laundry business could be
worked up, Nand the mending of
clothes and the darning of socks
could be made very paying matter.
The sense of the meeting was that
something should be done to establish
such school for girls, and that an
effort should be made to induce the
next legislature to appropriate suffi-
cient money to establish the school,

a plank in the next Republican party
platform to the, effect that Girls In

LOW WANTS TO PRESERVE
REMNANT OF GOATS FOR MEAT

The slaughter of goats on Kahoo-
lave has ended, for there are now
only a couple of hundred left, and
L5en Low says he wants these for
food for his men. Low returned from
the island in the steamer Likelike on
Saturday afternoon to confer with the
members of the board of agriculture
rs to what is to be done as to future
leasing of the island
Low hopes that some arrangement
can be arrived at whereby he can
keep a few head of stock on the isl
and, but states that if the board in
sists on all the goats being killed off
it will mean lease of the island will
be impossible because Of the cost of
getting meat to the island for the

Oh. oh, here's a show!
Enter the one and original John Doe.
We've heard of him,
Every one of us,
And sometimes we've thought
He's been making fun of US.
For years and years
His name appears
In the documents legal
or this vale of tears.
John Doe and Richard Roe,
The originals how
We've longed to know!
And now to the very large renown
OF good old Honolulu town
We've succeeded in running
One of them down.

GOVERNOR WOULD
SPEAK DIRECTLY

'If had anything to say about the
belt road commissioners l would say
1t to them direct, and not through
newspapers" said Governor FreGr
this morning. He continued: 81 think
that public bodies that hold meetings
should make such meetings open to
the public, but as far as the latest
meeting of the belt road commission
ers is concerned, l know nothing of
it. These are the views that l eX-
pressed to the representative of the
morning paper, and they were not di-
rected at the belt road commission.
ers especially"
The Governor still plans to get
away in the China, one week from to-
day. He has many matters to attend
to before he leaves, and will be kept
busy right yp till the moment he
leaves for the mainland.
No appointment of successor to
Marston Campbell as superintendent
of public works has so far been
made. 1t is certain, however, that
the Governor will make an appoint
ment before he leaves for the coast.

Rifles were abandoned this time and
the goats roped instead. 1--WE can do
the work twice as fast" stated Low
this morning." and we can get tie
rope on one of those goats, haul him
in and Kill him while the rife shot is
getting a sight. The goats are practi-
cally eliminated now and everything
is ready for the commissioners to take
over.

! wish that could get one or two OF
the newspapGrmen along with me so
that they could see just exactly what
the island is like. The trees, of which
we planted some ten or twelve thou

looking in pretty good shape

than from its property of loosening
up, and aerating heavy soil. Except
in exceptionally favorable instances
] am sure that potash could be sup
piled more cheaply by other means
than through black sand"
That the federal government will
ever interfere in the matter of claim
ing Territorial lands, on the ground
that black sand contained on them
constitutes a mineral substance under
the meaning of the federal statutes,
was smiled at by a number of attor-
ney,s to whom the proposition was
mentioned today. That this might
happen was suggested by some one,
on the ground that the Territorial
government had been given by Con-
gress simply the right to dispose of
pub ic landl in general, but that this
did not carry with it the rights to
minerals, which, under the fedora
statutes, are reserved from ordinary
homesteading.

The secretary was instructed to
communicate this action to the Cen

Associations delegates will be ex-
pected to be on hand at the next
Improvement meeting and uphold this
view If possible.
At the same time the merchants in
structed their secretary to call atten-
tion to the fact that the excavation Of
coral rock from the face of Diamond
Head is seriously detracting from the
appearance of the popular Diamond
Head drive, and to ask the improvers
to see If further defacement of this
kind cannot be prevented.

MERCHANTS OPPOSE PARKING
MIDDLE OF KALAKAUA AVENUE

Sentiment on the Kalakaua avenue
parking matter has begun to crystal
ize, and the results are not unlikely
to strike fire when the next meeting
Of the Central Improvement League
takes the matter up once more. At
least the Merchants Association has
made up IFS collective mind on the
subject, and expressed it's opinion en-
the weighty subject last Saturday,
when it adopted the recommendation
of its committee in charge of the
matter, that the> central parking idea
of the Kilohana Art League be not
approved, but that instead the plan
of side parking the thoroughfare be

According to President Gignoux. Fl
Hackfeld & Company, local agents for
the Pacific Mail, have expressed tile
hope that the matter might receive
favorable consideration at a meeting
called for the purpose on Thursday

into the facts involved can be made
by the committe by that time.
AS was first stated in these columns
last Thursday, San Francisco, anC
much of the Pacific Coast, together
with the commercial interests OF vari
Gus parts of the Atlantic Coast, are
making very strong fight in con

Army People See Trouble !.
In Ninth Cavalry Orders

News that the Ninth Cavalry has
been ordered from Fort D. A. Russell
to the Mexican border under rush or
ders is taken by some of the army
officers stationed here to mean that
the United States at last intends to
intervene in the affairs of the turbu-
lent republic to the south and put
cnd to the further slaughter of Ameri-
can citizens.
The orders for the Ninth Cavalry
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-05-07

to go to the border is considered sig
n!ficant for the reason that this is a
negro regiment and that since the
Brownsville trouble the Texans have
opposed with some success the send
ing of negro troops to the gar.is MS
in Texas. For this reason it is le.
lieved that the intention is to send the
cavalry across the border and that if
oply a patrol of the line was planned
some other regiment would have beea
sent.

No matter how healthy a human
being may be it is safe to say that
not many months are passed without
some obstruction of the bowels, IN

temporary The bloating. the dull
feeling may start after the evening
meal. If a laxative is not taken that
night it is certain that sleep will not

Hence. it is important for you and
for all the members of your family
that a good, reliable laxative be al
ways kept in the house for just such
emergency. 1t is sure to be needed,
and when needed you want it at hand.
No family that is careful of its health
can do without such a remedy. But
