5000 FELLOWS" ARE 'CH|PP|NG IN" WELL
To START NAL IH|NI CHRISTMAS FUND

The "good fellows of Honolulu are
responding nobly to the request made
that they "come through for the
starting of the 1918 Malihini Christ
mas Tree fund. Yesterday the fund was
increased by money and checks to the
amount of thirty-fve dollars, bringing
the total close to the hundred dollar
mark and giving the fund good, fair
start for its third day.
"Dooney'' Hartman, who has assist
ed the Maiihini Tree committee in past
years by making himself a committee
of one to search out those very poor
who are unable to reach the tree in per
son on Christmas day and to distribute
among them the various donations sent
in that are not suitable for children,
came forward again yesterday and took
up a collection among the drivers of
the Oahu Auto Stand, bringing twelve
dollars to The Advertiser as result
of his work. "Put it down as coming
from the good fellows of the stand, -
he said, and in that way it goes on the
list.

NORMAL SCHOOL
CASE IS HEARD
Charges and Countercharges Are
Exploited Before the
Commissioners.

Hearing of the charges brought by
Miss Eta Davis, teacher, against
Princial Edgar Wood of the Normal
School and the department of public
instruction, to the effect that she had
been prosecuted by Wood and unjustly
treated by Superintendent Pope, togeth-
er with testimony from the school Of
fcials to show cause for the action TAX

tention of the school commissioners for
the greater part of yesterdays session.

behalf of Miss Davis, while Attorney
General Lindsay acted for the depart.
ment.
The position assumed by Miss Wood
was outlined in letter which she had
written to each member of the school
commission under date of September
"a, but which she had not sent to Su-
perintendent Pope.
Miss Davis claims she was employed
through the Fiske agency of Boston as
an assistant teacher in the normal
school and as special teacher of ma
thematics. She supposed that she had
a normal school position and was en-
titled to a salary of $1,000 for the first
year, which she received, it appears,
through a mistake. She was reappoint.
ed, she says, at the June meeting of
this year, and expected to get the Sec
ond year salary of $1,000. She charged
that Wood had threatened to give her
a low grade position if she did not re-
sign or transfer and that she explain
ed she could not take the low grade
position, because she was fitted for
higher work rather than for lower, and
that if retained she should be given
some of the higher work.
Cut Instead of Raised.
She averred that she was not given
notice of her reappointment until Sep
TENDER 10, 1912, and then was inform
ed that instead of the 5000 increase
she was to be given first year salary
in grade work at decrease from her
previous salary Of 800. On her pro
test, sne said her salary was restored
to that of last year, but she was in
formed that she would have to take
low grade work ON the ground that her
previous work had been unsatisfactory.
Miss Davis said she had repeatedly
sought TO ascertain whether her work
was satisfactory, but that Principal
Wood had always evaded the question,
She said she had withheld her iudg.

best with unfamiliar methods and
younger students than she had ever
taught before, Principal Wood had
harassed and hindered her, Inundated
her before the students and in her opin-
ion had done everything in his power
to make it unpleasant for her, resulting
finally in her suspension,
She asked the board to see that she
be given suitable work of the kind she
was justified in expecting.
Salary Mistake.
On behalf of Principal Wood and
Superintendent Pope, it was shown
through copies of correspondence with
the Fske agency that Miss Davis had
been employed to do grade work and
that in applying for a teacher to I'LL
the position she secured, Principal
Wood had stated that he wanted one
with at least two years experience
in grammar grade work, and that he
had enclosed a schedule of salaries
showing that she would be paid as a
grade teacher with salary of 5000 for
the first year.
1t appears that through a mistake
Miss Davis was credited as a normal
teacher and paid $1,000 for her years
work instead of 5000, and that Attor.
ney General Lindsay had advised Sup.
erintendent Pope that in view of this
mistake, she be paid the same salary
for this year as a grade teacher.
1t was brought ont before the spring
meeting at which the appointments
were made, Principal Wood had written
declining to recommend Miss Davis for
reappointment on the ground that he
considered her untitled for training
school work. This letter was mislaid
and Miss Davis was reappointed, the
commissioners not being informed of
Wood Is objections.
She began training this year in the
grades, but her work was so unsatis-
factory, it was charged, as to call for
an investigation. Superintendent Pope,
Inspector Gibson, Attorney General
Lindsay and Mrs. Wilcox all visited her
the board to do. He replied that he
thought the board ought to provide her
with work such as she claims she is
fitted to perform, and suggested that as
she had made speciality of psychology,
that s4eh q glass be formed at the nor
NAL schoolI HE said this was the first
normal school he had ever heard of that
did not give instruction in psychology.
) The commissioners took no action, ad-
journing until nine o'clock this morn,
ing, when it is probable that they will
caucus as 10 the best way of settling
the matter.

Startling Statistics.
!. r.. 9alt president Of Palama Set
Element presented sensational statis-
ties taken from the police and county
attorney records. for the past twenty
two months. The total number of
such eases on record and disposed of
are thirty weight, he said, with three
not on record making forty.one in all.
These figures showed that there had
been nine eases of assault on children
under the age of ten years with intent
to commit rape, and in this number
seven have been charged to Americans
and in the majority of these the charge
had been changed to assault and bat
terry with consequent light punish
ment.
One American charged with raping
his four.year old niece is now awaiting
trial, the records show. OF the total
number of crimes, Americans have
been charged with ten, Hawaiians and
part. Hawaiians with four, Chinese
with six, Japanese with FIVE, and the
Others were divided up among other
races.
He said that the total as given, did
not appear large until compared to
other countries, The proportion of such
crimes in France for a city of the size
of Honolulu was two and one-half to
$4,000 population, and in England one
to $4,000.
Judge Whitney, of the juvenile court,
referring to audience before him, said
it was very evident from the attend
ance at the meeting that Honolulu
does care. He said his great Won
der was not why so many girls go
wrong, but how so many grow up right.
Judge Whitney then explained the
system by which the laws are enforced
and the part each department plays.
He said Honolulu was fortunate in its
district magistrates and that he was
glad to approve Superintendent Rider g
praise of the police department. He
explained that the real test of the
strength of n case came in the circuit
court where the prosecution must con-
vince jury of the guilt of the per-
son charged with crime, and not just
one man.

Death Penalty Too Severe.


As to the penalty, in cases of rape,
he said that the law provided for the
death penalty or for Imprisonment for
life, and the question of which to IN
flict was one the judges had to decide
for themselves. He said that he did not
believe that making the penalty death
without exception would prove eilica-
cious; that as crimes of this character
were the easiest to charge and the hard
est to prove, it would be difficult in
most cases to find jury willing to con
Wet, knowing that its verdict meant
the infection of the death penalty.
Judge Whitney struck the keynote of
his address when he said that the way
the public could help in law enforce
ment was in expressing its opinion. He
suggested that when judge fixed a
| light sentence for what appeared to be
serious crime, it would be well to ap
proach him and ask him why he took
such action.
cit win do lot of good, my friends;
a lot of good, - he said,
"The police, the prosecuting attor'
ney, the Judge and the jury do just
what the public wants them to do; no
more, no less,' he declared; adding
that all that these arms of government
needed to know was what the people
wanted done. "It S up to you to tell
them," he said.
W. A. Bowen, in presenting the reso
luton, the adoption of which brought
the meeting to close, said that condi
tions had been ably stated by the
speakers and the question was, what
was to be done about itl The time had
come to demand stricter enforcement
of the law, and it was believed that the
resolution presented would start the
work of getting what the public want
ed. He then read the resolution, which
was adopted by the audience en- masse

and statesman, probably will lose his
home, where he is spending his declining

books he has gathered in his travels all

fore saved the generals home by pledgfng

paid the first debt. Il can do no more -
said Mrs. Sickles.
No legal proceedings have been insti-

HORTICULTURAL societx Meeting.

The meeting of the County Horti-

Thursday afternoon was nearly brok-
en- up by threatened rain; so that no
more than about thirty persons were
present, and they were people who
lived not far away.
Lunch tables were set in Mr.. Nc
Afee's cider house and were well
filled with members and guests. This
part of the ceremonies was thorough
~ enjoyed by everyone.
In the afternoon Superintendent
Reinisch Of the parks made a nice
little address on shrubbery. He
showed the best kinds of shrubbery to
plant in private yards and told how to
plant and care for them. His lecture
was illustrated with numerous beauti-
full specimens.
Scott Kelsey, in response to re-
quest, told how he succeeded in rails
ing grove of hardy catalpas; and
Mr.. Snyder told of his success in
planting and raising pecans. He said
he planted the best varieties raised
in Texas, and obtained from the trees
very ordinary pecans. Mr.. Well
house told of how to produce the very
best cider vinegar; and Mrs. Ander-
son said she had bought some of that
vinegar and it was too rich; so she
diluted it with three parts of water
and then found it plenty strong
enough. Mrs. B. B. smyth sang.

Wagner and Yerkes. There was never
any prettier playing about the key
stone sack. I had to admire while in
wardly cursing it. Wagner made
three of the most sensational robber-
les ever perpetrated on a batsman.
For one he came away in behind the
box. He landed the ball at first
ahead of Merkle without Strengthening
up for a throw. That killed a sure
infield hit. Herzog followed with a
clean safety. We should have had two
on and none out. Twice Wagner went
way back behind the bag for what
looked like impossible chances and,
despite his awkward position, nailed
his man both times. All these heart
breakers came just in time to break
up threatening rallies.
Yerkes pulled the headiest play of
the day, however, and one that hurt
the worst of all. 1t cut down F1etch-
er at the plate with what we all be-
lieved would be the tying run. That
was in the seventh when Mccormick
came over with a pinch poke. The
ball shot right through the box and
dead over second. How Yerkes ever
got back where he did, I couldn't
imagine. But he did and cuffed down
the ball, to boot. He knew he didn't
have chance for the batter so he
stalled a bit in retrieving the ball,
which had rolled away from him.
Fletcher had started with a rap.
He had rounded third when Yerkes
recovered and looked certain of
scoring. Yerkes, however. threw per-
fectly and nailed his man.
