sporting event." as the lecturer
was doubtful whether he could en-
compass it. In practice it was very
successful. From the stage along the
roof ran glass tubing twenty-five
feet in length, connected with a tube
of zinc sulphide. The lights were
turned down. and in the darkness
radium emanati0ns were pumped
through the tubing, and in an instant
the sulphide was glowing luminously.
while the audience-many Of whom
were medical men-loudly applauded.
Like an ultra modern conjurcr
working with the latest radium, Mr.
Phillips achieved other results illus
trating the remarkable properties of
radium. He took balloon, and,
electrifying it with friction from a
handkerchief. made it follow his
fingers about; then he passed a speck
of radiun in tube over it, and the
electricity was gone and the balloon
was unresponsive. He produced q
blue speck of light which was easily
Influenced by a magnet. He showed
the rays penetrating luminously
through an opaque surface.
And as he demonstrated he drop
ped little items of information which
will perhaps be astonishing tn the
general cubic, such as:
The Beta rays Of radium have a
velocity of 10000 miles a second.
The Alpha rays of helium have a
velocity Of $4,000 miles second.

Arthur Irwin, representing the New

terviews with Sweeney and Zcider but
neither came To terms and Irwin, it is
said, departed last night for Texas
without coming to any agreement
with them. II was rumored that both

baseball to accept ilatterins offers
from the Federal league, but confirm
alton ot those rumors WAS lacking
from the nlagnates dircctiy involved.
Organized baseball scored point in

cARPETsAeeeRt STUART.

We do not know Judge Stuart, the
new appointee to the bench in Homo
luiu, save by sight and in a general
way. He may be one of the most
learned men in the United States for
all We know. The manner Of his
reaching the bench in Hawaii, how
ever, Is rank injustice and an insult
TO this territory. He is an out and out
carpetbagger, and the incident of his
appearance in official life here over
shadows the earpetbag policy OF the
national administration after the Civil
War in the South, for which that
party for years was most severely
scored by the Democrats. We have,
in other words, the Democrats doing
in most fragrant manner the very
thing which constituted their chief
campaign missile for years.
On the face of it it would seem
that Mr.. Stuart was billeted for the
position he now holds more than a
year ago, and was sent down to Ho-
nolulu to ''hang around" until he had
obtained the residence qualification
necessary to his appointment.

PROTECTION OF

Enthusiastic Gathering in Gen.
trai Union Church to Appoint
Strong Committee

The hayward child and the question
Of what shall be done with him or
her-after he leaves the reform school
in order that he may be given a new
foothold on life, has been brought to
the attention Of the women OF Homo
lulu. AS a result of this action with
in a few days a child-welfare central
committee will be appointed by the
local women who are interested In
this broad phase of uplift work, the
personnel of the body to consist OF
representatives of the various wo-
mans organizations in Honolulu.
1t was an enthusiastic group of wo-
men that gathered in the parish house
of Central Union church yesterday
afternoon, at which time the question
of child-welfare was discussed from a
number CT angles. 1t was the concen-
sus of opinion that steps must be
taken to stop the descent Of the child
who, after having submitted to temp
tation, has been committed to the re-
form school, and also to take care of
the child after he has left that insti-
tuition. The meeting yesterday was
the second of its kind to be held dur
ing the past three weeks. 1t was
pointed out that the meeting was be-
ing held under the auspices Of no GER
tain person or organization. The
meeting really was inspired by ad-
dresses delivered at the initial gath
ering by Miss Margaret Bergen Of the
Associated Charities and Miss Sadie
c. ,Sterritt superintendent of the girls
industrial school.
In setting forth what is needed, one
of the women at the meeting yester-
day explained that what is now want
ed is q committee to take charge Of
the children when they leave the in
distrial school or the reform school,
and to find a place for them where
they will be protected against tempta-
tons which, under ordinary circum-
stances, they would not be strong
enough to resist As q result Of the
