her she was making bags of ribbon to
put the buttons in and that each per-
SON could keep the bag for a souvenir.
The hostess gave her this little con-
test. for me; she is going to ask the
questions and write down herself who
answers the most questions. The
prizes are to be set OF hand painted
shirtwaist buttons, a box of collar but
tons.

Kings Buttons" it is played upon a
long drawn out dining room table COW
cred with blanket. First you have
to make the Kings Button Brigade by
taking three brass buttons, three black
ones and three white ones, with eyes
or shanks in the back. twist wire hair
pins into the eyes to make legs, and
stick in corks for feet. Stand the
brass men" nearest the end OF the
table, then the blackies, then the
whites. Each player has ten chances
to hit the men with large marble
rolled from the other end of the table
The white men knocked down counts

assistant stays at the lower end of the
table to set up the men and return the
marble. This is really good fun. try

Seat a row of players on each side
of the long table, with each rows lead

as fifty-cent piece is given one lead

table are put under 1t, while the lead
er passes the buttons to some one on
his side, or keeps It, misleading the
other side as to its place by talk and
actions. The opposite leaders orders

down, the button under one OF them.

ADDS TO THE LENGTH OF LIFE
Nothing Better Than Pedestrian E@
ereIse, Especially TO Those Who
Have Passed Beyond Youth.

Some Of the most noted of the old
men OF New York. successful in bust
ness, the professions and public affairs
have formed walking club for the
purpose of making their pursuit OF
still greater length OF days and still
better health as agreeable as 1t is SEN
sible. They intend to take long walks
together and. no doubt, to make their
pedestrian experiences the subject Of
entertaining discussion and a store OF
memories held In common. This ia an
example which might well be followed
in every city Of the United States In
the era of motor vehicles there Is dan
ger that walking will be increasingly
neglected. especially by men and wom-
en- advanced in years. who often need
1t most. There is constant tempta-
ton to forget that riding in the open
air. fine as IT is In many ways. can
never do for the body what walking
does e>-z.--

SWEDEN.

Several new cases Of arsenic poison
ing have occurred In the old riksdag
building in Stockholm. Some OF the
victims are women.
The receipts Of the state railways
for the first two months of the pres
ent year were $4,000 behind those of
the same period last year.
The druggists and physicians of
Sweden have taken steps to open
factory at Sodertelje for the produc-
ton OF the medicines needed for their
trade.
The king has authorized the railway
department to take part in the Baltic
exposition in Malmo, in 1914; but the
total expenditures must not exceed
s13.500.
The receipts of the private railways
of Sweden for the month of January
were s1.563, 601.05, which was an in
crease of $4,000 as compared with
the corresponding amount in 1912.
At Gis.ayed, Smaland, a burial
ground Just discovered has been In
vestigated. 1t dates from the later
Iron age. There are almost one hun
dred burial mounds, most of which
have been used as potato cellars, etc..
during recent times.

The consistory of the city OF Stock
holm has memorializcd the chancellor
of justice against the theaters and mo-
ton picture shows of Stockholm. The
complaint against those institutions is,
that many of them ply their trade dur
ing the great sacred festivals, such as
Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The
consistory holds that theatrical enter
tainments disturb those who celebrate
said festivals as good Christians, and
therefore the chancellor OF justice is
urged to abate the evil.
At the present time the car ferries
running between Trelleborg, Sweden,
and SassnitZ, Germany, are carrying
mixed trains. But the need Of spe-
cial ferries for freight cars has been
felt for some time past, and the rail-
way department OF Sweden has caused
a design for such ferry to be pre-.
pared. The matter has been pushed
SO far that the railway department OF
Prussia has expressed its willingness
to confer with the Swedish railway
department as to the most practical
plans. 1t is expected that representa-
tiyes from the two departments will
have a conference next summer.
The southern half of Sweden was
swept by terrible snowstorm the
twelfth Of April. Most of the rail-
way trains we're behind time. and all
the vessels at sea were managed with
the only view of weathering the storm.
Many vessels sped to the nearest har-
Dor without regard to the point OF
destination.
The army and navy are going to

ltion in Malmo next summer, the au

II is not difficult at this season to

place of the one costly luncheon or

GOVERNOR FREAR HAS
WRITTEN TO WILSON
STATING OWN POSITION

Informed Of the news received by
the Star-Bulletin this morning, Gov
ernor Frear made a brief statement,
substantially reiterating his previous
remarks on the subject of his tenure
He added that on March 4 he had
written President Wilson saying he
hoped the president would feel free to
nominate Frear's successor at any
time. He briefly informed Wilson of
the situation here: the legislature in
full blast, the approaching end OF the
fiscal year, the annual report which
must be prepared after that time, AMI
his Frear' desire to bring to com
pietion the policies he undertook when
he first assumed the reins of terri
torial administration.
Despite these affairs he had sought

LAST OF QUARTET IS
PLACED UNDER ARREST
FOUR FILlPIN0S NOW
HELD FOR MURDER OF
CHINESE AND WIFE

The last in quartette of Filipinos
who are now believed by the police
to complete the party alleged to
have been responsible for the brutal
and ghastly murder of Lin All Kim
and his wife Lum See. a week ago
last Wednesday evening, awaits an
examination at the hands of Chief of
Detectives McDufie, who has sue
ceeded in unraveling a mass of
tangled threads of evidence, in the
semtlance Of pretty straight and
correct account of the tragedy that
snuffed out two lives at Kahauiki
store.
Hidalgo Bautista, Filipino, a ma
tive of the southern islands and a
Visayan. is the man who is now posi-
lively identified by the self-confessed
participant Domingo Rodrigues as
one who took an active and bloody
part in the grewsome deed Bautista
was found by Deputy Kellett and
sew hl officers In tenement on low
er King street last night. In a se-
ries OF confessions made before Chief
McDuffie. Deputy Kellett, and \ rep
resentative from The Starl9ulletin,
the officers believe that thu have
sufficient facts to warrant the fixing
of a great deal of the responsibility
for the crime upon Bautista.
Celestino Manalo is said to have
confessed to general participation
in the deed. though he lays much re-
sponsibility upon the shifting should
ers Of Domingo Rodrigues, who has
claimed to the police that he had
nothing to do with the death of eth
er Chinese, save as an unwilling
spectator.
Both Rodrigues and Bautista are
united in their declaration that the
major part Of the dastardly crime
was done by Bautista.
Rodrigues accompanied Deputy
Kellett and Oficer 0lson=to the scene
OF the murder this morning. Some
hours were spent In clearing large
area with. a view OF recovering one
or more knives or daggers alleged to
have been used in taking the lives
of the stofe-keeper and his young
wife. With the assistance of gang
of municipal prisoners, much ground
was gone over. A lookout is also
being maintained for a possible hid
ing place for money, at first alleged
TO have been removed from the pock-
cts of the dead man.
Celestino Mapalo spent the night
as an inmate of central police station.
Miguel Manigtlas and Bautista
were removed to separate cells at
the city and county Jail. They will
be brought before Chief McDuffie for
q rigid cross examination this after
noon or this evening.

JAMES BRYCE
Will ARRIVE
ON MONGOLIA
Retiring Ambassador Will Be
Shown Honor During His
Short Visit

For the space of few hours tomOT-
row Hawaii will entertain one of Inc
most distinguished men of present
day Great Britain, = the Right Hon
James Bryce. retiring ambassador 10
the United States.
Mr.. Bryce will arrive on the Mon
golia from San Francisco and will be
the guest of prominent men of this
city until the steamer leaves for the
Orient late in the afternoon. The no.
ted Briton is on his way to The Orient
for the particular purpose of studying
the new Chinese republic and the
changing political and social condi-
tions as the country emerges from the
dominance of the Manchus.
Plans were made yesterday for q
luncheon to Mr.. Bryce tomorrow al
the University Club and committee
composed of President Charles r
Hemenway, Governor Walter f. Frear
and d. L. Wilmington was named to
arrange by wireless for the entertain
ment of the noted Briton. The COM
mittee last night sent wireless inVi-
tation to Mr.. Bryce asking him to be
the guest of the club. Up to this aft
|ernoon no answer had been received
but the committee expects to hear 20
night by wireless and to announce to-
morrow morning whether or not the
club luncheon will be held.
This is the third visit the Honor
able James Bryce has paid Honolulu.
The first was more than thirty years
ago, the second last September when,
enroute from Australia to Washing
ton, he stopped here for a day and
was entertained at luncheon at the
Moana hotel and was escorted on a
sightseeing automobile trip about the
city.
He arrived here on the same day
that Secretary of the Interior Fisher
came TO begin the now historic
Kuhio- Frear investigation. Rumors
of Mr.. Bryce's resignation from the
post at Washington were abroad then
Eut the ambassador maintained dis
Greet silence on the subject at that
time, declining either to confirm or
deny it.
Curing his brief stay he visited the
Bishop Museum, and was so deeply
impressed that he expressed a de-
sire to return and give the exhibit
more detailed inspection. II is
possible he will revisit the museum
tomorrow afternoon after the Uni
versity Club luncheon.

that the head worker and the three
