NO SUCH ORDER
RECEIVED AERE
Admiral Boush Hears Nothing
About Exclusion Of Japanese
, From Naval Vessels

The alleged navy department 5 or
der excluding servants of the JapancsC
race from duty on American naval
vessels, as reported in d despatch from,
the Coast to the Hawaii Shinpo v,ster
day, has not reached the navy officers
IN Hawaii. Rear-Admiral c. j. Bousb
OF 'PeaH HarbOr, commandment at tho
Honolulu Naval Station, in answer to
an inquiry Yesterday afternoon said
ne had received no order from Wash
ington even intimating that Japancs,
servants should be kept off any of tn,
boats at Pearl Harbor.
Admiral Bohsh was inclined to oues
ton the authenticity of the despatch
" There have been reports of orders
of that kind several times since the
sO-called Japanese scare Tin California
few years ago, - said he, 'but none
as yet have proven to be founded W.
on fact" "4,t :.
, Admiral Boush indicated, however,
That such an order would have no eff
rect here, as it so happens that all EN-
ployes aboard vessels at the Pearl
harbOr base and in Honolulu ar,
American citizens. Citizens likewise
are the sole employees in construction
work and other navy activities here
Japanese are engaged as servants in
tn Adhliral's home and those OF
other officers, however, just as in the
households of private citizens.
Yesterday despatch was based on
a charge published by the San Fran
cisco Examiner to the effect that a
Japanese steward, Fujo Motto, employ.
cd aboard the United States DESTROYER
Hull, had stolen the navy code book
The, disappearance of the book caused
the court martial Of the officer in com
mand Of the vessel at the time, this
officer being indicated few days ago

he had been responsible for the loss
of the volume.

Self-GoYernment In Our
High School.

A system of selt-government should
be established in our school because
ninety eight per cent Of the students
are honorable enough to obey laws il
they are made by the student body,
and the other two per cent could be
easily won over. The students would
soon understand that their schools
reputation for law and order depended
upon their observance of the regula .
lions they themselves had made, and
that bad reputation meant disgrace
Many schools have tried the system
OF self-government, and declare that
1t develops will power aud character

laws Of their own making. as wei! as
executive ability and a sense of
responsibility.
Again. the students obtain a

the cases in which the laws have
been broken. A student is apt To he
harSher to a fe!low-st1ldent for

has helped to make, than member
of the faculty, because the student is
more highly impressed with the
enormity Of the crime.
For my part, l think the students
OF our high school have not lost their
honor so entirely that the plan would
fail. 1t would be an interesting

the faculty of the age.old cloak of
