AeropIane
HydrO-aerOpIane May Fly From
Honolulu to KahuIui-Exhibi-
tiOn Here Sure.

There is every prospect that
Maui will, before long, see Tom
Gum i'll action again. He pro-
misses to get his hydro-aeroplane
into shape as soon as possible, and
to bring along the big combination
airship and water boat to Maui.
The new invention is said to be
a wonderful affair and, as soon as
the new, powerful engine is INSTALL
ed, some sensational work is sure
to be done. a flight from Homo
lulu to kahului is quite on the
boards, and Tom Gum thinks the
trip could be made in an hour or so.
The new Gnome engine for the
hydro-aeroplane is all expensive
one, and the cost in New York is
said to be 81, 700. A cable was
received by Tom Gum, while he
WAS III Waliuku ard the price, +.
O. B. New York, was stated to be
81, 700.
The hui that is financing the
different flights has decided to buy
the big, powerful French engine,
and there will be no doubt that the
hydro-plane will be able to run
from Honolulu to Kahului. 1t is
planned that upon arrival at Kahu-
lul, flights will be given and, as
there are a number of people who
are simply clamoring for a ride,
there is every prospect of seeing
some Maui people take a run out
to sea and back again.

had managed to save when the
police raiders came in. This being
so, you can imagine the surprise of
the public when they learned that
picking money from the table was
not the real incentive for the
numerous raids. They were sur
prised to learn that in all of the
force there were but two who are
charged with lifting stakes and
Withholding the evidence, instead
OF turning it in. But in numbers
there is strength and, when all of
the force comes forward and says it
is so, even the staunch friends of
the persons charged, cape in open
mouthed wonder. Their zeal in
raiding the small fellows, least like
ly to kick, naturally puts these men
under suspicion, and the fact that
the big ones were allowed to play
on, strengthens that feeling.
1t would be pretty hard for the
authorities to get evidence that one
raider had robbed tie bank of its
kitty" The gamblers would be
the last to come to the front and
tell about it, fearing they would get
an extra share of punishment for
their temerity. To swipe bail
money is scarcely the province of
the detective, who happens to be
the arresting officer; it is cinch
that the theft would come to light
eventually, just us it has in the case
of Enoch Brown, of Hilo. There

County Attorney Brown when he
says that Arthur McDuffie is too
brainy a man to fall for twenty

Man Suicides
At Kaanapali
Body OF Japanese Found Hanging
From Limb OF Tree-DeS-
pOndency Cause.

When a party of Japanese were
walking up a gulch near Kaanapali
last Saturday afternoon, they be-
came thirsty and, knowing that
water was generally to be found i'll
a certain place, made their way i'll
that direction. They were at first
surprised to notice a strong odor of
something dead-a dog, they at
first thought. One of the party
walked away a few yards and,
much to his horror, found corpse
hanging from a low branch of an
algaroba tree. The body was i'll a
fearful condition, and death must
have occurred at least a week pre-
viously.
The rest of the party of Japan
ese, summoned by the calls of their
companion, went to the place and
they, after a short inspection, de-
clared that the dead man must
have been a Japanese. A kimona
was to be seen, and there was other
evidence to prove that the corpse
was that of a subject of the
Mikado.
The deputy sheriff at Lahaina
was notified, and he at once went
to the place where the body was.
A coroners jury was summoned
and a verdict of suicide was re-
turned. The man was identified
as Nagasalli, and the fact that
he had been very despondent for
some time previously to when he
disappeared, made the supposition
that he had made away with him
self, the most reasonable to believe.

Big Bazaar
On Nov. 3

On Saturday, November s, the
big bazaar of the Catholic Ladies
Aid Society will he held in the
Armory. The affair, which is an
annual one, will be, it is said by
the ladies who are working for the
good object, the best ever held.
Thousands of useful, pretty and de-
sirable articles have been secured
for the fair, and there is no doubt
that the sales record will be a big
one.
The object of the annual bazaar
is to obtain funds with which to
pay for the cost of the Catholic
school building. Every year there
is a ready response from the people,
and last year every article was sold
out long before closing time.
There will be an added attraction
this year in the shape of the Paia
band which will play during the
day and evening. The band is i'm
proving wonderfully, and is the
cause of much congratulation being
showered on Father Francis, who is
the originator and conductor of the
organization. The bazaar will wind
up with a dance.

Bowling Is

Maui bowlers put up a total of
2,470, on Wednesday evening last,
when the Inter-Island tournament
was continued at Puunene. The
local men are reported, by an expert
bowler, to be in fair form, but not
quite good enough. More practise
is said to be needed and, if that be
so, the sooner the men get busy, the
better it will be for the Maui team.
The scores made on Wednesday

Abortive attempts of takers of the

newspapers, there was no worry
about Gum being able to fly

THOSE FOUR HUNDRED OPINIONS

Robert Underwood Johnson has
collected 400 opinions of persons and
newspapers, more or less prominent
in the country, declaring against the
dishonor of free American coastwise
ships through the Panama canal.
Those opinions are all printed in
quite a pretentious pamphlet, the
typographical style of which indi-
Gates that it must cost some money,
and, indeed, a great deal of money
when we consider that it has been
freely distributed all over the coun-
try. There's no denying that this
400 comprises quite an array of in
telligence, good intent and respecta
bility, and one should feel that as a
whole this symposium has weight.
One would feel that way, in fact, if
in all those 400 expressions there
was one sound, substantial reason es-
tablishing the bugaboo of alleged ma
tional dishonor they all assail.
Turning through the pamphlet one
finds all the opinions of the same
general strain, harping upon two
ideas-that of discrimination against
foreign shipping which has never
been proposed and that of bonus
TO a shipping trust which is forbid
den the use of the canal. II any
one of these opinions has indicated
how there might be discrimination
where competition is impossible and
cannot be contemplated, or if they
could show how passing through the
canal free and on even terms with all
ships that could possibly compete
constitutes the payment of a bonus
or subsidy in the true sense, then
there would have been some force Of
logic in that pamphlet worthy of the
expense.
AS matter of fact, the only dis
elimination possible is that which
would obtain if this protest which
helps no one but the transcontinen-
tai railroad interests should prevail
That discrimination would rob Amer
lean shipping in the coastwise trade
of a privilege it now enjoys. II
would put burden on ocean compe-
tition between the two coasts which
would partly save the day for the
railroads, and that would be the sole
effect. Our coastwise shipping inter
ests would be handicapped and the
shipping interests OF no other nation
would be benefited in any way what
ever.
1t is not questions of national
honor. 1t is question of railroad
profit.

MAKING IDLE THREATS.

Apparently there is a distinction
of classes among those to whom the
appellation hobo" is generally ap-
plpied, The national hobo conven-
tion at New Orleans, in a resolution,
has drawn a distinct line between
buns" who will not work and re
spectacle hoboes" who cannot get
work. Unless some states cease what
they term too active enforcement of
Vagrancy laws, members of the or
ganization will adopt militant meth

make themselves so obnoxious that
they will be freed The methods of
enforcing the laws in California,
among other states, are condemned
in a resolution introduced by one of
the heads of the "hobos' associa-
ton"
II is difficult to regard these ac-
tions upon the part of "chevaliers
de industre' as anything but bur.
lesque, but when the number of idle
people is considered, it is evident
that there may be something more
than a joke to contend with. A.
any rate it behooves the authorities
TO guard against possible effort or
the part of the "hoboes" to put some
OF their alleged threats into prac
tice.

INTEREST IN NEW PARTY is
GROWING.

Politically speaking the months
following a national election are as
a rule dull A noticeable sleepiness
exists in the old-line republican party
at this time, or perhaps it has not
recovered from the shock admins
tered in November, but no such con-
dition can be located in the pro-
gressive party. On every side they
are rallying and reorganizing, draw
ing their forces into battle array for
new undertakings and for a wide
spread campaign Of education.
Large meetings which have recent
ly been held in numerous cities
throughout the United States prove
that there has been no decrease in
energy or zeal on the part of the
progressives, but instead a strength
ening of the cause all along the line
Progressive clubs of large member
! ship are being formed in such cities
as New York, Washington, Chicago
and Minneapolis. One of the latest
states to show a wide-awake interest
in the movement is Indiana, where
there are marked signs of interest
and activity. Permanent state and
county headquarters have been estab-
lished and will be kept open con-
stantly and a state progressive club
has been organized.
Such ponucal activity is without
precedent in the annals of any party.
In the opinion of the Terre Haute
Star it is the first time in the his
tory of political parties in this coun-
try when a campaign looking to the
future has been begun so soon after
election, this proving what a deep
hold the new party has upon the

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

The Scriptures call attention to
the fact that personality is beyond
control. by taking thought" quer-
les the inspired writer, can a man
add cubit to his stature?"
The expected answer is, of course,
mo"
But the news comes from that me-
tropolis of doctors, Edinburgh, that
Dr. Gibson of the Royal Infirmary,
by giving a stunted boy extract of
the thyroid gland of sheep, caused
him to grow seven inches in six
months.
The boy had been too short to
enter Woolwich Academy-but was
literally trained un in the way he
should grow by the doctor. The
doctor says that he has had great
success in stimulating growth by the
use of the thyroid extract
The thyroid is a mysterious gland
at the top of the windpipe, the use
of which has been a problem. May
be it is the function of the thyroid
to stimulate growth.
The Edinburgh story seems well
vouched for-but so far as it's truth
is concerned, we shall know more
hereafter In the meantime, if the
stature of the people is thus brought
under control, size will become a
matter of the supply of thyroid ex-
tract For most small people, for
some obscure reason, want to be big.
1t is perfectly tue that, tried by
the severest tests, the man just un-
der the medium height is the best
physical risk He is the hardest sol
der. He is the most comfortable in
all the ordinary conditions of life
The world is made for the medium
sized person. 1t fits him. 1t does
not fit the very large or very small
Nevertheless, the people will wan
siXfooters for their sons and daugh'
ters "divinely tall"
Thyroid extract will be as precious
as radium. The rich only will be
! able to get it, And at last we shall
have class of millionaires whom
we can distinguish from the walters
at glance-by their size. For when
size can be bought in thyroid extract
1t will become one of the stigmata
of wealth and rank.
Perhaps by feeding beef animals
with thyroid, huger beeves may be
produced, and therefore more foot
for the nation. Perhaps some way
can be found of breeding sheep and
goats which are all thyroid gland
and can, therefore, be used up a!
stimulants of general growth.
But let us not be visionary.

The DisconsOlate Widow

An epitaph that read as follows,
with much moralizing thrown in to
boot, is declarative in a very large
degree:
I'm memory of Homer Clark, who
died October 13, 1873, aged Al
years.
my husband was noble man,
OF me he lots aid think,
And I'll never see another man
Like my dear Homer Clink.
He was the kindest sort OF man,
He was a good provider,
And when friend asked him to
drink,
He always called for cider
(SiX months later.)
His wife, she had a noble heart,
And though she may remarry,
Whene'er she thinks of Homer Clark
Her heart a sigh will carry"

people. 1t is certainly sufficiently
remarkable and significant TO give
the leaders of other parties cause
for deep thought.
The result in November, when
100000 votes, gained in three
months time, were cast for the new
party, is more generally looked upon
as victory than defeat. There is
a genuine enthusiasm for the prin-
ciples of the new party which is
growing in volume daily, and the
progressive party will be a formid-
able political organization, builded
in behalf of the people, by the time
the next general election is at hand.

much of good in the new party to
permit of its being disorganized or

tion and control.
The number of dead and injuerd
during the twelve-month on the
steam roads was 1SO,123. In com
menting upon this feature of rail
roading, the Interstate Commerce
Commission recommends that con-
gress enact legislation requiring

1t is announced that following the
Titanic disaster of last summer both
the steamship and the railway com
panies ceased the mad rush for rec
ords," and speed was made a sec
ondary consideration to safety. The
mania for speed reached its apex last
season, and there is hope that the
present year will note a diminishing
roll of the dead and injured. The
railroad companies are not to be held
responsible entirely for the over
development of the speed mania. 1t
