All hope Of recovering the body of
Priyate william v. Parker Of the 18th
Company, g. A. C., who was lost IN the
Koolau mountains more than two
weeks ago, was given up yesterday
morning by Lieut.. Cary l. Crockett,
who is in command of the searching

effort TO locate the missing man and
considers that further search would be

ner in which they have conducted the
search and have been complimented on
their efforts by their superior officers.
Following is the final report Of Lieu
tenant Crockett which was sent TO
Army headquarters by wireless yester-
day afternoon:
We have followed the trail Of the
twC cost men down a series of pockets
on the windward size Of the Koolau
range and found that both men went
Sver a preeipiee 500 rect in height. One
was injured, probably fatally, by the
fall over ledge and later lshed down
over the waterfall The other was
probably injured also by the fall but
attempted to aid his companion to
make a splint, etc, and then left him
to seek an outlet below.
After climbing down into a third
pocket, he was unable to return and
continued on down to fourth pocket
where he remained for several days.
There is no possible outlet from this
fourth pocket for an unassisted man
except on down into fifth pocket and
over the big waterfall. HA
s'I think that the body has lodged
at the foot Of the big drop in n pocket
800 feet from the bottom which is in
accessible. consider further search
useless and win bring my detachment
in today. All well.

RUBBER OUTLOOK
VERY PROMISING
Fred T. P. watsrhOuse Returns
from Six Months' In
spection Trip.

L IL u" -
Fred T. p. Waterhouae, who returned
on the Manchuria yestefaay from six
months Inspection trip OF the Malay
States rubber plantations, said that the
application OF hawaiinn agricultural
oxperente has helped largely in put
ting these properties on q sound basis.
The 1anjongola plantation is In abso-
lutely first class condition, be stated.
The Pahang is being rapidly improved
since Manager y. q. wallace, who was
in charge OF Tanjongola has been trans
ferred there. Pahang's output for
March was 15,600 pounds. We would
have been more than pleased with the
Il, 900. pound yield which had been es-
timated, Waterhonse said. 4J
Today 's prices, 90 cents per pound,
are entirely satisfactofy TO us Both
plantations are making money with
rubber Ut this figure. Ne Are much
better OF than a great many of the
concerns now operaung II that part Of
the world, because we have had more
experience in tropical agriculture
Waterhonse said that many Of the
rubber companies invested lavishly, an
tieipating that they would get two or
three times the prices rubber is now
selling for. The result is that they are
suffering from shortage Of capital.
Many plantations have had to reduce
their areas and entirely give UP caring
for their young trees, he said, $50 that
the output of plantation rubber will
undoubtedly be checked for some years
to come. s4F.i

Business bad In Singapore.

Business conditions are very bad in
Singapore. One Of the big Chinese
banking houses in Singapore failed for
about $15,000,O00, and carried down
with it great many other concerns. 1t
will probably be several years before
the rubber plantations again reach the
same status Of prosperity as before the
boom. Er
Waterhouse said that the manage
ment Of Tanjongola and Pahang had
been getting more for their money than
the majority Of the rubber concerns in
the Malay Peninsula. They are now in
pretty good shape and are going to
keep right on caring for their full
acreage and increasing their tappings.
He said he went over to Sumatra, Wis
tied some Of the famous tobacco plan
tations along the east coast and in
spected number of big rubber planta-
tions. Among others he visited the
General Rubber Company s Plantation
which is q subsidiary company owned
by the U. s, Rubber Company. The

ed in rubber IN Sumatra and is plant
ing another $4,000 acres.

Dor conditions are better in Sumatra
than in the Malay Peninsula, but the
yields are better at Pahang and Tan

The, above statement was made BY

The decision Of General Carter TO de-
mand discipline and behavior from the
colored troops came asa result Of the
escape from Jail at Fort Castner early
yesterday morning of Herman Lewis,
private in Company X Of that regiment,
who was being held in custody on sew
eral charges of highway robbery aud on
the further charge of having previously
broken Jail at Schofeld Barracks and
committing further highway holdup

his reeapture. Before his escape yes

Officers at Sehofed have been in

thorough investigation Of the escape
and further arrests Of colored troops
who are believed to be implicated in
the escape of Lewis are expected.
Though a large force of soldiers and
police were on the lookout for Lewis,
no trace Of him had been found at
midnight, though he is believed to be
In Honolulu.
In all his crimes Lewis has shown
himself TO be desperate, and after his
last escape terrorized several hack
drivers and a group Of six soldiers with
a fake pistol made from tin can. He

Departmental System
UnequaIIed Success
Largs Enrolment Present When The
School Opened; Faculty Highly
Appreciative Of System.

The enthusiasm which prevailed
among teachers and pupils when
school opened Monday morning
augurs wen for the years work.
The ambition to work and win was
plainly shown in the faces of the
pupils as they filed into the build
ing and took their seats as the last
bell ceased ringing.
The enrolment this year is ex-
ceptionally large taking into con-
sideration the present status Of af-
fairs. A number of pupils who
are known to be coming have not
been able to enter as yet.
One Of the features that has a
great deal to do with the improve
ment Of the schools this year is the
condition Of the grounds. Through
the efforts Of the school board the
grounds on the southside have
been beautihed with cement walk
leading to the steps of the school
house.
The introduction OF the depart
mental system has given a-fresh
impetus to school work this year.
The beneficial results are plainly
visible after only two days Of work.
Teachers appear less tired at the
close of the day, and the children
take added interest in their stu
dies.
1t is believed that the Board Of
Education has been fortunate in its
selection of members Of the faculty
this year. Miss Stella Kiker, the
new principal, is a teacher Of ex-
ceptional attainments and training
for her work. The rest Of the
teachers are ably fit and capable
to deal with the curriculum, and il
is an assured fact that the children
will not be neglected in their diff
ferent studies.
