EX-REPORTER LEONARD TRIES
TO END HIS LIFE IN A CELL

G. w. Leonard, ex-Advertiser re-
porter, who was arrested late yester-
day afternoon on a charge of having
forged the signature of Lorrin Thurs
ton to a check for $50, attempted to
commit suicide by hanging himself
in his cell during the early part of
the evening.
He tore a strip from his blanket
and was commencing to strangle
when a Korean gave the alarm, cry
ing out "haole make" which is native
for dead haole.
By singular coincidence the Ko.
rean who gave the alarm attempted

Inspector Gibson, of the public in
struction department, has compiled
some interesting figures concerning
the schools of the whole of the forty
nine States, as compared with the Ter
ritory of Hawaii.
The authorities on which the data
collected by Mr.. Gibson are based, are
the reports of the Commissioner of
Education, and other official docu-
ments of the education department.
1t is found that Hawaii ranks very
high as regards the actual number Of
school days in each year. 1t is also
noticed that the cost per capita for
education is very low. In Hawaii
there are, year in and year out, 100
working school days. In mainland
states the number of working days
varies a lot. This may be accounted
for by the fact that, in many dis
tricts, the country schools do not
remain open for many months in the
year.
In two states the schooldays of the
year 1910 comprised 9S days. Other
calculations show as follow: Four
