THE OLD ROLLER TOWEL

How dear to our hearts are the things
of our childhood.
When fond recollections present
them to view!
The old district schoolnouse, the pail
and the dipper
| The same cud of gum which in turn
we would chew.
No fear of a microbe forever beset us,
! No state board Of health interfered
then at all;
| We bathed dirty faces in one common
I basin
And turned to the towel that hung
on the wall.
The old roller towel. the stiff roller
towel,
The germ-laden towel that hung on
the wall
Of crsslk was this towel, in gcn'rous
proportion,
And never was changed more than
once in a week;
over,
And for a dry spot it was idle to
seek.
With use and abuse it grew grayish in
color,
Assuring an odor exceedingly rank;
BY Saturday night it presented sur
face
AS hard and unyielding as any inch
plank.
The old roller towel, the stiff roller
towel
From which the fastidious fCOlishly
Shrank
But now it is gone, vanished out OF
existence,
BY virtue e power which the board

Within its bacterial, DANGEROUS

JAPANESE DENY
COLORED REPORT
OF AN ASSAULT

Making positive denial Of a series
Of sensational allegations contained
in story Of a criminal assault,
appearing in Japanese and
also an English morning paper,
Mrs H. Hashimoto and her husband
have related to Captain Of Detectives
Arthur McDufie, through Interpreter
kuroda, what they claim to be the true
version of the affair that took place
at the home Of the Japanese on Twelei
road and which they maintain has
been so grossly magniied.
Emphatic in her declaration that
three white soldiers. and not a trio
of colored enlisted men, succeeded in
forcing the way in to the house a week
ago, Mrs. HashimOtO, who has been
brought into prominence through what
she claims is misrepresentation, told
the officers yesterday afternoon that
no assault was attempted or commit
ted.
The Japanese claim that they were
at work in the preparation Of bean
cakes, the man grinding the material
while the woman was in a rear room
preparing the dough for the ovens.
Without word of warning the front
door Of the house was thrust open
and three white men, dressed in the
uniform of U. S. soldiers, entered the
room.
! Hashimoto stated to McDuffie that
one of the men insisted that he have
a drink of liquor from a bottle. The
Japanese demurred and as the trio Of
invaders attempted to enforce their
demand, he complied with the request
One Of the white men. who Rashi-
motto states he would be unable to
positively identify, saw Mrs. Hashi-
motto in the back room and entered
the apartment. He is alleged to have
taken certain liberties with the wom-
an, though in no manner participating
in a brutal assault. The husband
rushed to the assistance CT his wife
and together they succeeded in eject
! ing the soldiers from the house.
| Hashimoto stated to McDuffie that
the same evening he approached a
man on horseback whom he believed
to he a mounted police officer, and
told him of the actions of the men.
McDuffie, with the assistance Of
Sheriff jarrett. Intercepted every
man connected with the mounted po-
lice squad last evening and each de-
MED having been approached by a
Japanese with any such story.
Both japanese also deny that any
display of firearms was made by the
soldiers Suspects NAV be brought be-
fore the Japanese with a view of pos
sible Identification.
I = Captain John z. Hunt of the 25th
infantry, expressed much indignation
at the attitude of the morning paper
in persisting in its MISREPRESENTATION
of the case. when seen at police sta
ton this morning, following his return
from the home of Hashimoto, where

he had concluded an examination of
the two Japanese.
II find that the story appearing in
in Advertiser Is false in about every
detail as result of my inquiry made
this morning." stated Captain Hunt.
7 ne military authorities resent this
attitude assumed by the paper in its
attempting to heap unjust approbium
upon the regiment with which am
connected.
THE Japanese tell me that there
was no criminal assault committed
and no weapon displayed. The most
Important admission made by the in
terosted parties wasgthat the visitors
were white men and not colored SOL
diers. am Of the belief that the three
men may have been partly under the
influence CT liquor when they entered
the house, and became familiar with
the occupants" In conclusion Captain
Hunt insisted that the military author
ties stand ready at any and all times
to do all in their power: to bring of,
tenders against Law and order from
their organizations 70 speedy justice.

THESE
DIRECTIONS when
USING THE MAIL

Detailed directions and precautions
| for addressing mail have been re-
Ceived by Postmaster Pratt and the
postmaster believes that if they are
| followed in Honolulu much of the
present delay and mistakes can be
avoided. The letter is from the first
assistant postmaster general and
reads as follows:
Your active cooperation is re-
quested in an effort TO relieve the
postal service of the burden imposed
| by the growing evil of incompletely
and improperly addressed mail.
The delivery Of letters. especially
in the large cities, is frequently de-
layed and oftentimes made impossible
by the omission of an important part
Of the address. such as the street
number. or room number when ad-
dressed to an office building. Not in
frequently the name Of the street is
omitted, only the name of the post
Office and state being given. Another
source OF trouble is the practice of
giving an address at the intersection
of two streets without giving the loca-
ton of the corner, for in some large
cities a number Ct carriers routes
may terminate at that point, or 1t may
be the dividing line between the re-
spective territories Of the main post
office and a station, or between two
stations. and in the absence Of the
notation N. e.. N. w, etc, the dis
tributers are unable to determine to
which carrier the mail should be
thrown.
The increasing carelessness on the
part of the public in addressing their
mail is no doubt aided and abetted by
the practice of the department in sup
plying deficient addresses and also By
the exploitation in newspapers OF the
ability Of some clerks to decipher
freak addresses. -
"Postmasters should advise their
patrons that complete and accurate
addresses are essential to prompt mail
delivery and that they should cooper
ate with the department to the extent
of seeing that all mail originated by
them bears street number. or room
number in the case of an office build
ing, in addition to the name Of the,
city and state. Attention should also
be" invited to the fact that they can De
of material assistance in the education
Of the general public with respect to-
this requirement by having all sta
tionery intended fer transmission
in the mails printed with their COM
plete street or Office address.
Hereafter when the delivery of
mail is delayed en- account If an in
sufficient address that fact shnuh he
stamped en- the face Of the mail. and
rubber stamps for this rurncse. bear
ing the words Delivery delayed on ac-.
count of incomplete address, may be
secured through requisition on the
fourth assistant postmaster general,

Such publicity as can be effected
without expense to the department
should be given the suggestions out

NUUANU VALLEY
CLUB IS DEAD,
SAYSA.F. JUDD

\ hurry-up call to public spirited
residents of Nuuanu valley, asking
them to assist at the city hall this
evening TO meet the supervisors with
expressions OF opinion upon the
Queen Emma Park question. has been
issued by A. F. Judd, president OF the
Improvement club OF that section.
There was no time TO have a meeting
Of the club, one of the valley resi-
dents said this morning, so it was
deemed best to request as many Of
the members as possible to attend the
meeting Of the municipal board MIR.
Judd, On being asked what position the
club was taking on the points ir dis
puts about the park, said that the cub
was dead.
Several Nuuanuites seen this morn
ing were unanimous in the opinion
that the grand old trees should not be
cut down. One was emphatically OPP
posed to the idea of creating another
baseball park at the place. saying it
was utterly unnecessary.
There was division of opinion res
pecting the demand of the Daughters
Of Hawaii and the Outdoor Circle, that
the residence of the beloved queen
should be preserved both as a relic
and a repository of historical memen-
toes.
James A. Wilder, artist and Boy
Scout chieftain, wants Just a park. -
with the trees preserved. The birds
of the air have places to bill and COO
together" said Mr.. Wilder. and ordi-
nary human beings ought to have the
same blessed privilege" He also
rather favors the preservation Of the
old royal mansion.

WHAT WILL FAIRFIELD

Judge Wakeman like every one else in town is discussing the number of auto accidents that have happened recently. He is not. alone in being thoroughly disgusted with the whole affair. Its only natural for autonobilists to try out their mo tors on our new road. There are very few autoists who will allow an- other to pass him upon the roads now adays. Attempt to pass and the re- suit is a race regardless of who else has occasion to use the highway" Some lay the great number of accf- dents this year to the fact that this is the first year for the new pavement. In answer it is stated that the perma- nent road might have something to do with the speeding, but the violations of the law occurred with regularity even before the work was started last summer.
 It has been suggested to those who have charge of the police affairs that the imposing of heavy fines on viola tors will tend to keep mishaps down. The contention is, that outsiders hear ing that the officials of Fairfield are
