FOSTERING SCHOOL INTEREST

The commissioners Of public instruction made
vor of community use Ct schGolhouses. The use
of public school structures for community meet
ings Of all kinds, political, social and otherwise,
is not only an eleyating Influence for the meet
ings, but good thing for community interest in
the schools
With Hawaiis system of local or county con-
troll for the schoOlhouses, the fostering of com
munity interest becomes vital, for as was point
ed out by one of the commissioners yesterday,
the system of local control makes good in pro-
portion TO the amountof civic pride taken in the
schools. Civic or community pride will increase
directly as the people of any community become
personally familiar with what the school is try
ing to do and what it neelssif the way of i'm
provement and equipment.
There is another significant point in yester-
days general discussion of school matters. Gem
missioner Aiken of Maui brought the information
given cane-growing as part of their vocational
work, the number of pupils is falling Off The
reason ascribed is that the parents of the boys
are apparently unwilling to have their children
taught a vocation that seems to place them on a
level with the field-laborefs.
Very obviously here is work to do, in making
it quite plain to such parents that they must look
beyond the teaching of the present to the oppor-
tnnities of the future for young men who are
trained in the principles of Hawaiis chief agri-
cultural factor

CANADA AND JAPANESE IMMIGRATION

The Canadian governments intention to Sc
cure from Japan a definite agreement restricting
Japanese immigration into Canada, somewhat
along the lines of the so-called "gentlemen's
agreement of Nippon and the United States, is
said to be behind trip across the Pacific by the
Hon George E. Foster, the Canadian diplomat
Mr. Foster is a passenger on the liner Makura,
which arrives here tomorrow from Victoria.
He will proceed first to Australasia and
thence to Japan His visit toithe latter country
is openly declared by the press of Canada to be
for the purpose of settling commercial relations
between the Dominion and Japan, with the ut
terance of an agreement on immigration as the
main point he is seeking According to news
dispatch to a Vancouver paper 1.-THE commercial
relations between Japan and Canada at present
are in a somewhat unsettled condition In 1894
Great Britain and Japan negotiated a CONNER
cial treaty from which Canada was excepted, she
being empowered to adhere, the difficulty lying
in the immigration question. Finally, in 1906,
the Laurier government, disregarding the urgent
and repeated advice of the colonial office that
Canada should guard herself by passing legsla-
ton of the Natal act type, adhered uncondition-
ally to the treaty There then ensued an thrush
of Japanese immigrants. Mr.. LemieuX made a
Journey to Tokyo, and while the japanese would
waive none of their rights under the treaty, an
agreement was arrived at couched in the form of
a note from the Japanese foreign minister where
by the Japanese authorities undertook not to all
low more than stated number of their fellow
countrymen to migrate to Canada With this
Canada had to remain content
an 1911 this treaty was abrogated, and Great
Britain and Japan negotiated a new treaty,
which was signed in April, 1911, and is to re-
main i'm force until 1928 Again it was left OPP

outside the treaty but for the supplementary
agreement, dated July {, 1911, between Sir Ed

dor BY this, most favored nation treatment as
between Canada and Japan was extended for two
years from July Il, 1911. Desire has been ex
pressed by Japan that Canada should adhere to
the treaty of 1911, and an uninfOrmal invitation
has been extended to Mr. Foster by the Japanese
consul general, Mr.. Takamura, to visit Tokyo to
discuss the matter.

EYEWITNESS
TELLS OF DEATH

George Palahau and Manuel Leiwalo,
two employees of the city and county
road department, at work on high
ways in Eva district on last Thurs
day afternoon, at time that Jules
Brule, or better known locally as
Berteliot, met his death while speed
ing in the big American racing car,
related their story as eye witnesses
to the tragedy, before a jury sum
moned by Coroner Charles Rose.
At the inquest held at police sta
ton yesterday afternoon, George
Beckley. owner of the car in which
Brule was hurled to his death, told of
the dead mans connection with the
racing business, which has extended
over a period of but few weeks.
Charles Henry Hustace, a passen-
ger in the car with Brule, the French
chauffer, was also an important wit
ness in the investigation. According
to Hustace, who received severe in
juries in the disaster, the car was
going at rate of between sixty-five
and seventy miles an hour. The ma
chine is alleged to have turned over
twice, the first time throwing both

of the place where the racing car left
the road and was hurled into the
ditch, stated that they heard loud
roar as the machine shot past them;
then followed sickening thud, with
the throbbing engines gradually quiet

The verdict as rendered by the jury
yesterday was to the effect that Brule
had come to his death from a crush
ing injury sustained upon mis- head,
caused by the overturning of an Am

tive of Paris, France, and twenty
four years old. AS far as the police
know, he has no immediate relatives
here or on the coast.

WILSON'S STAND ON TRUSTS

PrCSident-elect Wilson's stand on the trusts
is believed to have been definitely set forth in
series Of bills recently presented to the New Jer-
sey legislature. The seven bills-which Govern
or Wilson says should put an end TO trusts and
monCpolies under the laws of New Jersey -
first, define a trust and provide criminal penal
ties for the individual directOrs second, prchib-
it the issuing of ''watered stock; third make it
la misdemcanor to organize a corporation with
intent TO promote any project "intended to be
used in restraint of trade or in acquiring mo-
Inop0ly'; fourth, forbid the creation of .'hoding
fifth, limit the security-issuing
power OF mergers; sixth, provide that the CON
sent of the Public Utility Commission must be
obtained before two or more corporations may
merge: and, seventh, prohibit discrimination by
corporations in prices of commodities in differ
ent communities, except for a proper allowance
for cost of transportation and ether similar
charges
The first bill defines trust, and the defini-
ton is generally hailed as Mr. Wilson's state
ment of his own belief. The definition says:
"A trust is combination or agreement be-
tween corporations, firms, or persons any two
or more of them, for the following purposes, and
such trust is hereby declared to be illegal and in.
dictablc.
ITO create or carry out restrictions in trade
or to acquire monopoly, either in intrastate or
Interstate business or commerce.
"To limit or reduce the production or increase
the price of merchandise or of any commodity.
ITO prevent competition in manufacturing,
making, transporting, selling, and purchasing of
merchandise, produce, or any commodity.
"To fix at any standard or figure whereby its
price to the public or consumer shall in any man
ner be controlled any article or commodity Of
merchandise, produce or commerce intended for
SALE use, or consumption in this state CT else
where.
"To make any agreement by which they di-
rectly or indirectly preclude free and unre-
lstricted competition among themselves, or any
purchasers or consumers, in the sale or transpOr
tatiOn of any article or commodity, either by
pooling, Withholding from the market, or selling
at fixed price or in any other manner by which
the price might be affected
sTo make any secret oral agreement or arrive
at an understanding without express agreement
| by which they directly or indirectly preclude a
free and unrestricted competition among them
selves, or any purchasers or consumers, in the
sale or transportation of any article or commOd-
ity, either by pooling, Withholding from the mar
ket, or selling at fixed price, or in any other
manner, by which the price might be affected
These are the bills reported few days ago as
likely to pass both houses.

The campaign leading up to

This causes, as you will notice

Some Resent the Idea.
Some people seem to resent the
idea that the human form takes
its rise by regular variations and

rightly considered, this process of
evolution is the strongest posi-
