OF DR.. ELIOT

DR.. Charles Wa Eliot, president EN-.
eritus of Harvard. sailed for the coast
on the China this morning after set
ting a record for strenu0usness thai
made the young college men who have
been escorting him around hustle hard
to emulate.
He arrived shortly after daylight
this morning from his trip to the Vol
cano. went to the Moana hotel f0r
breakfast, saw to the shipment Of the
baggage of his party, and then started
on q line of sociological and industrial
investigation during the few hours
that remained 70 him in Hawaii.
Coming down town in an automo-
bile with Secretary r. s. Hosmer oI
the Harvard club, the distinguished
scholar spent SOME time in conference
with President Pratt of the board OF
health, their topic of conversation per-
tanning to the relation of medical
practice here to the social evil and
the prevalence and effect Of the social
evil in Honolulu and Hawaii general
ly.
From this President Eliot was taken
to the Honolulu Iron Works by Assist
ant Manager Dyer DR.. Eliot wished
to get a line on the Hawaiian as a
laborer and on the laboring classes
here, and he made thorough inspec-
tion of the iron works In a short time.
.Then DR.. Eloit was taken to the
steamer, and arriving there early, he
told one of the men who had gathered
to bid him farewell that he hoped to
get little time for a look at Homo
lulu's shipping conditions before leay-
ing. However. he was the center of
an informal going-away reception on
the deck of the China and had no fur
ther opportunity of going ashore.
DR.. Eliot expressed himself as de-
lighted with the volcano. 1T is a
wonderful spectacle, and much more
than repaid me for my visit, he said.

he added with smile. Il recommend

Streetcar company's Formal
Expression Referred to

The Supervisors will stand pat on
their present attitude on paving, &C.
cording to statements from members
of the board today.
They will insist that the Rapid
Transit Company pave with bitulithic
between its double tracks on King
Street, and If the company continues
to refuse to do so, some of the Super.
yisors favor carrying the matter to
the Governor, and instituting quo war
ranto proceedings looking toward an
annulment of the company's fran
chise. They say that the Supreme
Court has held they have no discre-
ton in the matter Of paving, that the
Rapid Transit Company must pave in
conformity with the rest of the street,
and that they have already gone more
than half way in allowing the com.
pany to pave between the rails with
lava rock.
Last night the Supervisors received
a letter from the Rapid Transit Com.
pany informing them that the board
is ready to proceed with q lava block
paving on King street, or with an
ohia block paving. The letter was
the result of special meeting of the
company last Friday morning and was
Tuplished In the Star letin that
afternoon. It puts the paving matter
UP to the board by stating formally
that the company is ready to proceed
with the lava block paving.
E The board, however, now refuses to
yield an inch further, said several SUI
peryisors today. The letter was re-
fefredto the county attorney, but the

1t is the first opportunity he has had
to escape the heavy routine of Judi.

He will spend portion of his vaca-

She surprised them by making the
statements mentioned above. Attorney

could only ask that the application be

that See Mey Soong was held against
