LITTLE INTERVIEWS

JOHNNY MARTIN-Last evening at
the fellowship supper at the close OF
the Newcomers meeting at the Y. NJ.
c. A., | introduced Mr.. Peter TOsh of
the Rapid Transit as the peacemaker
of the company, and not the pace
maker. as Paul Super interpreted.
w. o. SMITH-The once fine lcads
in the Makiki district are becoming
Cotted with howwols. Now is lie time,
as they do in England and other coun-
tries, to save these roads by senGlng
few carloads of material out to nil
up the hollows. 1t is a great waste OF
resources to allow good roads to go
to destruction for lack of attention.
CAPT. F. D. WALKER - Things
are moving rapidly. England has
sent an ultimatum to Austria and is
backed by France and Russia. 1t
looks as if there was going to be a
conflagration over the Balkan affair.
America ought to withdraw her mis-
sionaries from those regions, as they
are liable to get into complications.

YEAR; GIRL IS
LUCKILY SAFE

The maximum penalty was this
morning given to All Leong, a Chi
nese, who was pointed out by a wee
mite of a Portuguese girl as the
brute who had accosted her, invited
her to enter a small, confectionery
store, and then started to take liber-
ties with her.
The preliminary examination of
the little child by Prosecuting Attor-
ney Brown and Chief of Detectives
McDuffie failed to elicit evidence
that would prove further than an or
binary assault. The officers, how
ever, are firm in their belief that it
is just such instances, as recited by
the mite of child, that lead to tales
of shocking treatment and unspeak'
able crimes now being committed IN
this city against small children.
All Leong was charged with assault
and battery. The little one, barely
seven years of age, sat in the wit
ness box at police court, and unfold
ed a story, which, proving but an as
sault, was prolific in limitations that
led her interrogators to the belief
that a far more serious crime was

MAJOR JOHN 4. whitley

In the sudden death of Major John "a. Who'll

States army loses an efficient officer and man
of whom the military service of any nation

personal acquaintance with Major Wholley ex-
tending over some sixteen years, from time
when, as young officer, he was appointed by
the secretary of war to post as military in
stfuctor in the state university of Washington.
His energy, high ideals, breadth of character and

An officer with a high sense of pride in his
profession, yet always first citizen of his coun-

of rare insight, he served his country and his

disciplinarian, he was beloved of his men for un-
failing consideration. Ambition was his with
out selfseeking, ambition to rise in his profes-
sion by his own merits; and his honors were
won in the tests of actual service ON the battle
field. Unyarying ideals of patriotism were his

might cause explosions that would be
felt in surface shocks" *.
News coming to the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin this morning from
Hawaii brings the fact that the
shock was generally felt in all the
islands to the eastward, and that
the effect on Kilauea was quite
noticeable through the rising of the
boiling matter. ...
From inquiry it seems that the
heaviest movement was in the
kaimuki district of this city. The
duration of the shock was not over
five or six seconds, but while it last
ed there was sufficient movement to
shake every thing that was on
shelves especially dishes, and in this
instance a number were thrown to
the floor and broken. There is no
report of any serious damage to pro-
perty or persons from any section
of the city. .-.-.~,. -..:.. . s..-s
There is but one seismographic
station on this island and that is at
Sisal, and the operators there are
not in the habit Of giving out in
formation on "quakeat until DIT has
been reported to Washington. The
College of Hawaii has no instru-
ments for the recording of earth
quakes.
The belief is freely expressed that
the quake of Sunday morning was
the heaviest that this island has ex-
perienced in many years.

Sheriff Jarrett's policemen were much in evil
dence at the Republican rally on Saturday
night, but not in the line of duty. They were
there in plain clothes to look and to listen. The
main portion of the crowd was orderly, but some
of the Democrats undertook to interrupt the
speakers, evidently to disturb the meeting.
That's all right; there's no law against Quitting
i'm on the speech of political opponent but as
an argument for Democracy it doesn't help-it
hurts. It's cheap politics and just as cheap in
Republicans as in Democrats. It's out of date,
besides, and the voters know it, A reasonable
question is always in order, but not meaning
less interruption.

The SENATORIAL TICKET

The voters of this senatorial district,-the
third, have plenty of good timber from which
TO make their choice of three good men, but it
ought to be almost self-evident that the Repub-
lican trio is the best both from the point of ex-
perience and of influence with the men who will
be their confreres in the upper house.
The holdoyer senators and the Republicans
who will undoubtedly be elected will make the
senate Overwhelmingly Republican in complex
ION, and it will be- as practical result of this,
Republican legislation that goes through. J. NJ.
Dowsett and A. s. Kaleiopu combine experience
in past senates with popularity among all
classes of voters, and George F. Renton is a pro-
gressive, active, alert man who is highly sue
cessful in business and has always been deeply
interested in public affairs. The character,
standing and eminent fitness of these men ought
to insure their election. They will be particu-
larry useful in shaping legislation to settle some
Of the most vital problems before this territory,
problems that require wide view of the present
Industrial conditions, and demand the ability to
draft and pass laws relating to public lands,
public utilities, education, wharf improvements,
etc.
The legislature of 1913 is going to need the
biggest men that Hawaii can furnish, men OF
aggressive personality, who will tackle Hawaii's
problems and settle them along practical lines
OF extreme Importance it is that the third
senatorial district take its rghtful place in the
senate. That place is in the front rank. In the
past there has been much talk Of outside domi-
nation in the senate, much talk that the Homo
lulu delegation was not able to handle its end
Of the work. With the holdover Honolulu Re.
publicans and with Dowsett, Renton and Kalei7
opu elected, the Honolulu delegation will be the
most influential and as experienced as any in
the upper house
The Democratic ticket contains some men of
ability, but lacking both experience and influ-
ence with the lawmakers they would be called
upon to meet
Messrs. Dowsett, Kaleiopu and Renton can
not be confronted with a single objection. They
measure up to the standard that Honolulu
should demand of its representatives in the SEN

Delegate Kuhio did not, in the eyes of the
people of this territory, prove his direct charges
against Governor Frear But he did secure
some good results by his determination to get

of it didn't taste NICE but we feel considerably
better now that it's over.

nese.
All Leong, when brought face to
face with the court, was also con-
fronted with the testimony from
other girls, several much older than
the complainant.
1t was pointed out that this Chi
nese had been warned on two or
three occasions by a police officer,
regarding his alleged tampering with
children.
The Chinese was sentenced to the
municipal prison for one year, with
the costs of prosecution added.

fortunes have been made from the islands plan
tations; and out of the process Of gaining pro-
lection for nsular sugargrOwing interests at
Washington at the hands of lawmakers and tar
ifffiXers and of securing adequate supply of
cheap labor for working the sugar growing es-
tates have come episodes in political maneuver-
ing not all the details of which would stand the
light of day. The same soil and climate that
make sugar a natural crop also make natural
cultivation of large variety of luscious fruits,
use Of which on inexpensive terms has made liv-
ing ON the islands cheap, and also wholesome
from the dietitian's standpoint. But it is only
comparatively recently that growers have real
lied that they might enter the American market
and compete with California planters on the Pa
cific coast, and with Florida and West Indian
producers in eastern markets. Even now there
are handicaps to the situation, but the gains of
recent years show that the business has taken
good root and cannot longer be moderated. In
deed, with one form of fruit, namely, pineapple
the Hawaiian producer is capturing European
as well as American trade Hawaiian trade
journals estimate that between July and Deem
Der of the present year not less than 400, 900
cases of preserved pineapples will be shipped to
America and Europe, goods for ports of the lat
ter being carried on American Hawaiian Pacific
freighters to the western terminal of the Tehuan-
tepec route and thence across the isthmus direct
to London and other distributing centers.
Diversification of sources of wealth will be
wholesome for the islands. Too much power,
pecuniary and political, has been concentrated
hitherto in the few families controlling the sugar
plantations. Signs multiply that with the open
ing of the Panama canal, with development of
the large military and naval stations, both trade
and manufacturing are to develop at this outpost
of American civilization, and in ways that will
break the monopoly hitherto enjoyed by agricul
tural and pastoral aspects of activity. Economic
issues of new sort are coming to the surface
for solution by an electorate more varied racial
ly in many respects than any that calls itself
American, because Asiatic in stock as we'll as
Caucasian. People are demanding freer access
to land and are challenging the large holdings.

Dickens Care for His Guests.

II Dickens was particular regarding
the equipment of his own bedroom he
was equally careful for the comfort
Of his guests. Charles Dolby, in
Charles Dickens as l Knew Him"
says Of the bedrooms at Gad's Hill:
Each Of these rooms contained the
most comfortable of beds, sofa, an
easy chair. cane-bottomed chairs-in
which Mr. Dickens himself had great
belief, always preferring to use one
himself-a large-sized writing table.
profusely supplied with paper and en-
velopes of every conceivable size and
description, and an almost daily
change of new quill pens. There was
miniature library of books in each
room, a comfortable fire in winter,
with shining copper kettle in each
fireplace; and, on a side table. cups.
saucers. tea caddy, teapot. sugar and
milk"
A popularity OF the household, adds
Mr.. Dolby. was the fact that. except
at table, no servant was ever seen
about.
