Ambitious Dream for Sea Front

and beautiful shrubbery and offering a
sweeping view of the entire Waikiki

Superintendent Charles r. Forbes, as
enthusiastically on lined by him at the
meeting of til harbor commission this
morning.
ton during the discussion of the
amusement pier project, which had led
to a general talk of the famous beach S
Identification, and though his plan
was outlined only briefly it was pre-
scented so clearly and practically that
the commissioners at once gave it
their hearty individual Endorsement.
Chairman Forbes idea is to require
all property-owner throughout the
length of the beach from Fort Arm
strong to Diamond Head, to build a
stone wall somewhere above the high
water mark along line which would
be established by the territory's sur
veyors, and then to give a stretch
along it, running parallel with the
seafront, to the big boulevard. This
magnificent highway he would pave
solidly and smoothly, so that it would
be as nearly perfect as driveway can
be made 1t would become Honolulu's
showplace and add vastly to the fame
of Waikiki. he declared.
Commissioner c. J. Mccarthy, who
also is territorial treasurer, believes
the scheme is feasible and the other
members agreed that if the financial
part be solved the project is entirely

character of the questions involved.
rms section as amended includes
Porto Rico with Hawaii and continues
the existing right to review in the
supreme court when federal rights are
in controversy, but leaves all other
cases to be dealt with upon a petition
for a writ of certiorari, as is now the
law with respect to most of the cases
in the circuit court of appeals"
As matter of fact, as the Bar AS
sociation points outfi Hawaii's cases
in the U. S. supreme court have been
so few as to cause no burden. Since
1906, when the right of appeal was
fixed, there have been only q cases
where the appeal was possible under
jurisdictional amount" involved, S.
600, and only IA where federal ques-
tons were involved The cases by
years are: ....
In the last five years there have
been only six cases, thus showing
that Hawaiian cases are no burden
ON the supreme court.
It is hoped that the cablegram of
yesterday. together with the protests
sent to other senators and to Delegate
Kuhio, will result in stopping the bill
before it passes the senate, but that
hope is very small since the receipt
of Senator CulbersCn's letter.

Senator Culberson's letter. dated
December 81, had been sent before
the comprehensive statement of the
Bar Association had reached him. s.
Local members of the bar feel very
strongly that the situation is serious.
The change in the law is referred to
in the report on the amendment, ex-
planned as follows:
Relieving the supreme court of the
United States from the necessity of
reviewing such cases from the SUI
preme courts of Porto Rico and Ha-
wall as involve no federal question,
but depend entirely upon the local or
general law. Under the law as It now
stands the decisions of the supreme
courts of Porto Rico and HaWall are
renewable by the supreme court OF
the United States not only when some
federal right is in controversy out

than $4,000, without respect to the

worthy. Entering thoroughly INTO the
idea Col Mccarthy asserted the finan-
cial end OF it could be handled ii the
people approved.
The expense should be horne by the
county, the plan is, but the territory
could sell sufficient bonds for the
county to cover its cost, then paying
back on the bonds by making an ad-
ditional assessment of one or two mills
year on the dollar on assessed valu.
alton of property on Oahu This would
prove no strain on the county and
the project could be paid for easily
in 20 or 80 years time.
The stumbling block to the scheme
at the outset is the financial one,
however. To give true idea of the
project Chairman Forbes said that not
only blueprint should be drawn, but
a large perspective made, with color.
ings, giving hint Of the wonders in
natural beauty that can be wrought by
the correct construction Of a beach
boulevard of this kind. 49,.
The funds for this preparatory work,
which he estimates would require four
months for completion, must be raised
by popular subscription, either by the
citizens or by the business firms of
the city. 1t is likely this initial phase
of the project will be started by the
harbor commissioners within the next
week or two.
The proposition probably will not be
ready to submit to the legislature this
year. 1t suggests such sweeping in
novation that much time will be need
ed to figure out the details and it may
not be in shape for official action by
the county or territory for a. couple

URGE Changes
IN INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL CONTROL
Continued from page one)

especially to supervise the industrial
schools.
A special committee Of the jury
consisting OF f. A. Berndt, chairman
James a. Wilder and Charles Lucas
investigated the industrial schools and
drafted that part of the report dealing
with the commission idea.
The report .commends the work OF
the superintendent at the institutions
both for hayward boys and for the
girls Under the heading Girls Indus
trial School, the grand jury report
says:
In this institution there are al
present SS girls, all apparently well
and happy. Miss s. G. Sterritt, the
superintendent, is a good discipline
rian, as evidences OF proper training
tempered by kind and motherly re-
gard are everywhere noticeable. The
school is conducted along modern
lines and must show splendid results.
The Industrial training is&of the best,
and should the equipment be enlarged
as is recommended by the superin-
tendent, and the additions to buildings
made, the grounds improved, the insti-
tuition would completely justify its ex-
istence in the community. 1t is very
gratifying for this committee to re-
port that under the otherwise strict
and wholesome discipline Miss Ster-
rift has done away with high board
fences and has made many other
changes devoiding the place Of the
appearance of prison. We recon-
mend this idea strongly and feel pos
tive that it win have a great effect
on the work of the reform school.
We are certain greater success can
be obtained and more satisfactory re-
suits shown If the reform work of the
industrial schools were placed under
the care of commission or board of
control, created exclusively for this
purpose. The wants, requirements
and shortcomings could be better
studied and understood than under
present administration, and with this
improvement in view, we recommend
to the incoming legislature the crea.
ton of such a board of control or com.
The school commissioners
who now have charge have their
hands full with regular routine and
cannot give great attention to this
special work which is growing more
important every year.
We also believe that the revenue
from the sale OF mats, carpets, lace,
ETC., should be used exclusively for
buying new materials and for the de-.
veloping of the Industrial branches
and not go into the maintenance fund
The industrial equipment is too small
now but would be kept up and in
creased if the proceeds from these
sources could be so applied"
A member of the jury said this
morning that the committee which
Cooked into the Industrial schools is
prepared to furnish concrete cases to
back up its recommendation for

concession be granted for the erection
of such a pier at any point between
Fort De Russy and Diamond Head
point.
I'VE also urge that every effort be
made to secure the removal of the
present 'Moana' pier, and also the re-
moval of the unsightly remnants of a
pier and diving stand in front of the
residence of Mr.. J. B. Castle
The removal of these structures
would we believe largely enhance the
appearance Of Waikiki bay, and great
ly add to the enjoyment OF Thousands
of citizens who frequent the beach
aquatic sports.
I'VE consider that there are great
possibilities available for the develop
ment of public bathing establishments
and amusement piers on the Ala Mo-
ana, and urge that every effort be
made to continue dredging for recla
nation purposes at this point.
.Dreds Ala Moana.
IF economical and practical from
an engineering standpoint, we would
suggest that all future dredging along
the Ala Moana front be limited to a
depth OF four to six feet, SO that the
largest possible surface area would
be covered with the funds available
for the work. If this suggestion could
be followed, reclamation of large areas
would be accomplished on each side
of the Ala Moana which could then
be converted with a comparatively
small outlay of public funds into an
attractive boulevard,
which would possess the great adyan-
tage of being close to the city
LAS practically all the land from
the rife range site to the Mochizuki
club on the makai side of the road
is the property of the territory, every
effort should be made to secure to the
public perpetual rights and full access
to the ocean beach along this thor
oughfare. ..- i.
In submitting the annexed recon-
we would asw that, what
ever decision the board of harbor
may reach in this mat,
ter, an official copy of same be
sent to Lieut. col Chas
S. Bromwell for the information of,
and for the record files of the u s.
Engineers Corps, so that if possible
uniformity of action between the ter
ritorial and federal governments ON
this important subject may be secur-

 Shortly before the war there was su ch a large number of Russians at the University of Halle that the wou1d-be German students could find no. place for themselves. Such a, thing
 must never happen again, the Koelnusche6 declares, in arguing against unrestricted admission to the German institutions of learning It also cites the case Of the Russian stu- dent at the University of Berlin, sus- pected of espionage at the outbreak of the war, who openly shouted words of contempt of all things German Ths should teach a lesson for the. flu ture, the paper declares. ---,
 Notwithstanding the war, the Unf- versity of Berlin had during the semester, no less than 1,43s students from foreign countries, including Austria. The majority were Swiss, Roumanian, Bulgarian, Greek and Turkish.
