smith WILL NOT
TAKE POSITION
IN CITY OFFICE
Deputy Attorney General Gives
A. M. Brown Definite Answer,
Declining Offered Position

Arthur G.. Smith, deputy attorney
general, will not leave his present po-
sition with the territory to take up
that of deputy attorney at the city and
county Office.
Arthur nj. Brown, who received the
appointment as city and county at
torney, following the resignation of
Attorney Cathcart Tuesday night, Wis
tied Mr. Smith this morning to ascer-
tain definitely whether or not he
would accept the position offered.
"Mr. Smith has given me his final
answer that he will not accept the
city position" said the city attorney
following the interview. "Mr. Smith
feels that he owes a duty to the attor-
ney-general to stay in view of the fact
that so much work has come upon
that office recently. Furthermore, he
does not feel that it would be wise to
make the change from $500 to $3.50
a month position.
AS | understand it," continued Mr..
Brown, the main object that Mr..
Smith had in considering the change
was the private practise that he would
be allowed to take up in the city Of
fee, and which he is not able to take
up in the office of the attorney
general" /"
There has been considerable rumor
that Mr.. Smith had information, pre-
vious to the resignation of former City
and County Attorney. Cathcart, that
such 2 move was about to take place.
Smith, however, denied the rumor
on the day of Cathcart's resignation,
and avowed that the news was a COM
plete surprise to him. He declined to
express himself on the situation this
morning previous to his talk with
Brown, and after the talk merely re-
ferred the reporter to the city attor-
ney. .:.:.. ....=-. ~.:. "..>...
MIR. Smith told me-" said Brown.
"that he would turn all Inquiries over
to me-" . IN.
When asked if he had other candi-
dates in view for the position, Mr..
Brown said that he was at work on
the matter, and that he had several
men in view for Nhe place. He de
sclined, however, 10 mention the names
of any of them. Il, a....... - (.

FEAR JAPANESE
TRAINING SHIP
HAS GONE down
TaiSei Maru WireIesSed July %
She'd Make Frisco Next
Day; Silent Ever Since
IN HONOLULU
PLANNING RECEPTION
Cadets, Slated as Due Here on
August 25, Were to Be
Feted BY Co1ntrymen

With more than 100 cadets on board,
the Toxic Mercantile Marine School
ship Taisei Maru, due here August 25,
is feared TO be lost off the California
coast The vessel wirelessed to the
Japanese Association at San Francisco
on July % that it would pass through
the Golden Gate on the following day.
That was IS days ago and since then
nothing has been seen or heard OF
the Taisei Maru and efforts to get into
wireless communication with her have
failed.
The Taisei Maru is equipped with
wireless apparatus and is a four-mast-
ed bark, but has auxiliary steam power
and twin screws Ordinarily she would
not use the auxiliary power except in
entering or leaving harbor, or in the
event OF damage to her masts.
Before sailing from Shinagawa In
June the bark took supplies for a four
months cruise. This cruise was to
take her to San Francisco, where she
was due about 10 days ago. 1t is be-
lieyed she was running ahead of time
13 days ago when she wirelessed In to
San Francisco that she would arrive
at that port the following day.
|. It is said she carries cadets to the
humber of 105 men. including her
crew. She carries no freight, only
supplies and ballast being aboard. The
local japanese associations had plan
ned warm and enthusiastic welcome
for the cadets when the vessel arrived
here, which would have been on
August rs or thereabouts, If all went
well. Her itinerary called for direct
voyage from Japan to San Francisco
where few days were to have been
spent viewing the exposition She
would then have proceeded direct to
Honolulu and after a few days here
would have returned to Japan.
Details are lacking. Al special cable
from the japanese Association at San
Francisco to the Nippu Jill at. Homo
lulu gave what news of the ship is
known in San Francisco. It Is be-
lieyed that either the ship is disabled
and drifting around unable to keep her
course and is unable to wireless for
assistance, or else is at the bottom
of the sea- according to the informa-
tion received by the Nippu Jill.
She has gross tonnage of 2028 and
net tonnage of 1741. C. Furuya is
her master, according to LIoyd's reg
lister. She was built for the Japanese
government at the Kawasaki Dock
yards Company. Kobe, in 1904 and is
277.4 feet long and 42.9 beam.

ETY. sent $420 more These sums. adj
aed to the $195S which had been sent
a4 the close of last week. brings the
total amount contributed by Honolulu
to the present time to $1901S.
The Chinese Christian Union expects
to cable $16S0 more on Monday, which
will then bring the total to s$11. 1888.
Other contributions which will no
doubt be made between now and then,
should bring the amount to more than
$4,000.
In addition to the flood relief sub
scription committees of the Chinese
Christian Union andsthe United China
Society now at work. the Lung Do
Society has a committee busy solicit
ing and hopes to be able to secure a

the same commendable cause. The
Chinese Merchants Association com
mittee is doing good work. Last week
It sent several thousand dollars.

THREE TO SECURE
COMPULSORY EDUCATION

A race to avoid being the last state
in the Union to adopt compulsory
education laws is apparently under
way in the Southern states, according
to reports received at the United
States Bureau of Education. There
are now only three states without
such laws, Florida having recently
Joined Texas and South Carolina in
adopting compulsory education by
legislative enactment. The three
states still without such laws are
Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama.
Officials of the bureau of educa-
tion pointed out that this years COM
pulsory educational legislation is part
of a big educational advance all
along the line Nearly all the state
legislatures were in session during
1915 and much of the educational
discussion that has been going on for
several years crystallized into law.
The Alabama legislature has recon
vened for the summer session and
much school legislation will be dis
cussed. The fact that the Alabama
legislature does not meet again for
four years makes it likely that Geor-
gia and Mississippi may get ahead
of her in adopting compulsory edu-
cation, unless action is taken this
year.
Another point that the bureau of
education remarks on is the fact that
examinations for promotion in schools
are going out of fashion.
"Few schools now rely entirely up
on examination as test for promo
tion," declared w. S. Deffenbaugh,
chief of the division of school ad
ministration of the United States Bu-
reau of Education, in his annual re-
view of school conditions in the
smaller cities.
"In some Schools" he said, sex
aminations count one-half, while in
others they count only one-fourth. It
is now recognized that examinations
are not true tests of the pupils abil-
ity to do the next grades work, and
that a pupil would not be promoted
on what he knows but on what he
can do. OF 765 superintendent in
the small cities, $50 say that they
are now depending on examination
much less than formerly"
