Y.M,C.A. TO MEET
ON THURSDAY

A Encouragement of the duties of
the present employed force of the
Young Mems Christian Association
will be one of the two important mat.
tiers OF business to be taken up at
meeting of the board of directors of
that organization in the Office of the
general secretary Thursday afternoon
at half-pAst twelve o'clock. The other
matter will be discussion as TO
whether or not to continue the Sunday
night mass meeting for men now be-
ing held under the auspices of the
association. ~. ....
The idea of q Encouragement in the
employed force is for the purpose of
furthering the efficiency of certain de-
partments. The association now has
a membership of 1864 and If this ar
rangement goes through plans will be
made whereby each member will get
more out of his association member
ship, and a larger number of men will
eventually become interested in the
rfogress of the associations work
The scheme will center around a re-
arrangement in the work of A. E. La
rimer, for three years past educational
secretary Oh the dSSOClallOL, ,r0ldllnS
him more definitely to the promotion
of special activities for members, in
which case the direction of the edu-
eational work will fall to Jay A. Urice
who has been Mr.. Larimer's assistant
in this work for the past several
months.
The second of these matters is the
solving of the question as to whether
or not to continue the mass meet
ings which have been held every Sun
day night in the Empire theater and
which have attracted large number
of the better grade of men of the
city who have not been in the habit
of attending church services. These
services, while they have been a sue
cess in every way and one of the most
prominent features in religious work
ever attempted in Honolulu, have cost
considerable money. The association
believes at present that it has not
sufficient available money to carry on
these meetings and unless some spe-
cial course of income is devised, they
will have to be discontinued.

STANDARD OIL
WAS ANXIOUS TO
SECURE ASSOCIATED

Further information regarding the
rumored pending purchase of the As
sociated Oil Company by the Shell
Royal combine reached here this
morning, contained in the California
Oil World" That publication prints
a lengthy article from New York on
the supposed sale, and declares that
the Standard Oil company would have
bought out the Associated had not the
point of public sentiment against it
been raised.
That the deal for the sale of the
interests of the company is believed
to be well advanced, and that the
ShelERoyal combine is the only one in
the field with sufficient cash at this
time to make the deal are the state
ments made by the oil publica-
ton. The California Petroleum COM
pany had an option on the stock of
the Associated at from $50 to sos a
share, but the option expired last fall.

S SUPERVISORS
HAVE MEETING
TONIGHT

The supervisors will meet this even
ing at 7::30, to pass upon routine work
before the board The only other
business expected to be discussed is
the resignation of j! ]. STniddy, road
overseer, who was asked to resign by
City and County Engineer Whitehouse
a number of days ago. The question
of the successor of Mr.. Smiddy may
be informally considered. 1t was ru-
mored in the municipal building this
morning that Rudolph Duncan, now
trackmaster of the Rapid Transit
Co., is an active candidate for the
position. He could not be found this
morning to pass on the Veracity of
the report.
The proposition of making appro-
priations for Leah Home and the
commission of agriculture and fores-

SUMNER SCHOOL
OPENS AT THE
7. N, {. A.

The summer school for boys OPEN
ed for the first time at the Young
Mems Christian Association this
morning with an attendance of 81
students, and bids fair to become a
permanent feature of local associa-
ton work OF the number of stu.
dents now enrolled, IL are in the
9Th, grade, 10 are in the seventh and
10 in the eighth grade, leaving room
for two in the seventh and two in the
eighth grade, as each class is limited
to IL boys.
HonoluIu's first touch. with the
tion with q visit of one of the local
association secretaries to the main
land last year, when he saw the
school in action in Chicago in one
of the large Y. M. G. A. buildings. The
secretary was impressed with the
value of the plan and decided to put
it into operation at the first oppor
tunity in Honolulu. Secretaries
Loomis> and Gross, of the local
organization fell in with the plans
and it is to them that the credit
belongs for organizing and establish
ing the first summer school of this
kind for boys in the islands.
One of the features of great value
in this scheme is the instruction by
men teachers. After boy has reach
ed the age of twelve it is highly desir-
able that he have as many men in
structors as possible in both Sunday
and day school. In all the summer
schools of this kind throughout the
states the facts and benefits of maseu-
line instruction are emphasized With
Charles F. Loomis, Roland M. Cross
and j. c.. Wine as teachers of the
three grades, and with the splendid
equipment of the Y. NJ. G.. A. and a
first class set of boys to start off the
work of the school, its success is as
sured The tuition fees are small, be-
ing S. for the six weeks course.

say that Hartman declares he is not
q bigamist, and that he has left his
wife in California we'll provided for.
OF these things the couple would say
nothing this morning.
This morning she sat on his lap,
and as she talked to him she patted
his cheek and affirmed that she knew
the report that he had another wife,
whom he deserted, was untrue.
Though the message upon which the
ply stefan was arrested did not dis
close the charge against Hartman,
other than that he was wanted for a
felony, Information received from San
Jose was to the effect that he had
deserted wife and child there, and
was to be taken back to face Grim
inal charge upon that ground.
When Hartman was arrested he re-
fused to make any statement, and he
largely maintained the same reserve
this morning when he was seen with
the young woman at the city and
county Jail. When he was asked If it
was true that he had a wife on the
mainland, he refused to answer, but
the woman on his lap replied:
1t is not true; it is a horrible lie.
Why, it would be impossible for it to
be true. Am not right, dear? Does
he not ask foolish questions? Tell
him it is all a lie!"
But the physician kept his peace.
When he did not answer she broke
out in a hysterical laugh, put her
arms around his neck, laughing and
crying at once. Her trained nurse,
who sat on the lanai, heard her, and
turned nervously with worried ex-
preston. During the night the nurse
had stayed by the side of the woman.
who has tainted many times since the
arrest of her supposed husband.
When the woman recovered, her
manner had changed, and where be-
fore there was something of plea
in her voice, there was now sarcasm.
The physicians mood was similar. To
gether, in sarcastic accord. the inter-
view passed, and whens it was over
both seemed quite pleased with the
feat.
81 have too many troubles" at last
sighed the doctor, Ito think Of filling
paper
The cablegram upon which DIR.
Hartman was arrested states that an
officer from San Jose is on his way
with extradition papers. Whether the
woman will accompany him back, can
not be learned.
The charge to be put against the
prisoner, according to the opinion of
local police, is either bigamy or de-
sertion. AS the present Mrs. Hart
man has declared that she is the wife
of the man, it seems likely that the
former accusation will be made This
belief is strengthened by the fact that
desertion of a wife or child in Cali
fornia is made either a misdemeanor
or felony, to be determined after
Judgment and not before. There is
therefore a question of whether I'M
der such a statute a requisition would
issue.

London, Jan. An almost COM
