GIVE AWAY 10000
trees ARB0RDAY

Accord!ng to the report Of na,ic
Hauslls. crest nnFseryman submitted
to the 3oard cf commissioners of az
ricultuFe and forestry, 1927 trees
we're d.s...JaIed Of .;-rbor Day, No
yember II. These trees were sent to
ali the islands and large number OF
people took advantage Of the offer.
The schools of the territory came
in for their share although many OF
the school grounds are now well
stocked and there is little room left
for tree planting. The total number
OF trees applied foI by schools
amounted TO 1851. Iomesteaders on
all OF the islands drew heavily On our
stock. The trees mostly wanted by
them consisted of eucalyptus robus-
Ia. ironwood aud gravileas The
amount of trees supplied TO the diff
ferent military posts was not so
large as last year. This was prob
ably due to the fact that they have
been receiving large quantities OF
trees during the year at intervals.
The number of trees sent to the
different islands, including those sent
to the schools, are: Oahu, 9531;
Kauai, 1919 Mari, 404I; Hawaii, 1891;
Molokai, 20.
The species distributed are as fol-
lows: Jronwood, 1850; swamp ma

GRAND JURY AND
Police BLAMED

In last evenings Nippu JfJi there
appears an editorial dealing with the
Fujimoto case, the defendant having
been acquitted Of the charge of muir
der by 4 directed verdict The paper
wakes indignant at what it terms
"tramplIng on personal rights and
places the blame quite as much on
the grand jury as on the police, the
former for, holding Fujimoto for trial
and the latter for its. failure TO have
sufficient evid ance before preseHta.
ton of the case to the grand jury. The
editorial says:
1T Is rather unexpected that in
the case of Waichi Fujimoto. who had
been arrested by the police as muir
derer of his countryman. II. Emotoi
the chauffeur of James B. Castle at
Waikiki, there should be verdict OF
not guilty because of insufficient evi.
dence. n. ",
after Flljimoto was taken into GUS
tody as the suspected murderer OF II.
Emoto, his case was investigated b.
the territorial grand jury and after
such investigation he was formally
charged with murder in the first de-
gree. Since that time we have been
watching this case with great interest
and its developments were carefully
watched by the japanese community
of the territory.
There was no strong evidence
against this man Fujimoto as the muir
derer OF Emoto discovered since his
arrest for the crime. The police could
not find any eyidence except Fujimo-
to's immoral relations with the wife
of the murdered man before her mar
riage.
but we had believed there was
some. strong evidence against Full
moto discovered and gathered by the
police and that it was sufficient for
the grand jury and for later prosecu'
ton of the case. But We were sur
prised when we found that the prose
cutor had really nothing of proof
against Fujimoto. The so-called evil
dence which was gathered by the police
in this case was entirely worthless

LANSING SCORED
BY PRO.GERMANS

An "oDen letter" to Secretary OF
state robert Lansing, sent By Issues
and Events. a pro.German publication
in the Emitted States. says that no
protest has ever been made by the
American government against deport.
alton of German and Austrian citizens
by Russians, The letter SAYS
"Sir. You have seen fit TO protest
for hnmanity's sake. of course
against the deportation of able-bodied
male .Belgians into Germany where
they will meet with the terrible fate
of having to work for their livelihood
instead OF being permitted to live on
charity. >.
Pray. did var protest against the
deportation by the Russians OF old
men. women and children from East
Prussia and Gaiicia to Siberia? Has
your heart, OVERLOOKING with human
ity, remained untouched by the fate
Of the thousands who have not been
accounted for?
WAS your recent protest really
made Tor humanity's sake only or
was ii designed TO help the Belgians?
gOa DtONCol aEolhcS al e~a'S6CN
justice for humanity's sake only or
was your protest an attack on Ger
many because that country happens
to be at war with England, who may
eventually derive moral benefit from
your protest?
Humanity knows no difference Of
nationality and a maltreated East
Prussian woman has at least as much
right to your protest for humanity's
sake as anybody else. Why then did
you protest?
IF. you protested to the Germans
though. because you wished to afford
protection to the Belgians as nation
belonging TO the English group of
belligere nts and not because their
imaginary sHfferings appealed to your
tender heart, why then prostitute
the meaning of the word humanity by
substituting it for prejudice?
will you, please, explain, II you
can, what claim the Belgians have
on your or our humanitarian feeling

DECLARES WOMAN
CAN'T BE friend

NEW YORK, y. IAN important
discovery, which is likely to affect the
attitude of men toward women and
women toward men, was made by
Charles Gray Shaw, professor OF phtlo-
sophy at New York University, who
has devoted considerable time and
effort in research work on the prob
lem of Can a woman be friend, and
if not, Why not?"
'She cannot be a friend" Prof.
Shaw announces. for although the
word is given in both .genders, the
fact alone is masculine. The reason
for this state of unfr!endffness in wo-
man is that to be friend clear cut
personality and a disinterested out.
look on life are required. Woman
lacks both Of these. Woman is never
a friend because she is never an in
dividual, and to be an individual. one
must stand alone Woman is a planet
"a satellite-well adapted to reyoly-
ing around some center. but not or
ganized so as to stand alone.
Mems clubs, of which they are sc
proud, are combinations made for kill
ing time and fostering laziness. On
| the other hand, the woman's club is
an attempt to generate feminine
friendship. 1t is dollhouse for ten
der plants"
Prof. Shaw once walked from Phila
delphia to this city in "a hours.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1916-12-22

and. therefore, the defense moved for
a directed verdict of not guilty and
Judge Ashford granted the motion and
freed Fujimoto The case was on
trial in the court for only few hours
I'VE are greatly astonished at the
prosecutors unpreparedness in this
case. Incompetency of the police de-
partment is we'll known to the public
and it is not necessary to discuss 1t
further, but as to the grand jury We
cannot overlook it's responsibility in
this matter. Defendant Fujimoto has
suffered for more than five months
behind the bars under such weak evil
dence as this, and during this time
his family and his relatives were al
most reduced to restitution and their
lives and regulations seriously In
jured. ..... ~. :: =. n.
1--WE cannot help but consider the
conduct of the territorial grand jury
towards this case. How thoughtless,
how irresponsible and how careless
the police and grand jury are! We
cannot help but be indignant over TINS
case that tramples on personal rights.

Sitting on the Lid.

The celerity with which everybody IN
Albany has backed away from an inVeSu-
cation of official expenditures OF puhlic
funds would be amusing if 1t were not
DISGUSTING. From this and the slckly as
surances of the Assembly leaders that the
financial methods of future legislative
would be reformed, the public
can gain only one impression-that the
and misuse of the peoples
money has been so customary and so wide
spread that nobody. from the Governor
down. cares to risk inquiry into past per
formances.
Such course. however shameless, IS
tolerably safe. The Legislature IS SOW
oreign body, and may not be investigated
bv anv other body, if il refuses to clean
its own skirts. The public officials with
the Gargantuan appetites, the prodiglous
desire for travel and the keen yearning
for dramatic art-all satisfied at state
fear little further exposure
if they sit tight and hold each other 5
nanQS. Even lilt dttlNiNlN' VI VIZ
Attorney here at worst, can affect only a
few of them.
But how, in high Heavens name, can
such performances be deemed TO constitute
a proper setting and background for re-
forms? The misguided public has been IN
the habit of believing that Legislative
investigation" implied moral and bene-
fetal probing of immoral and detrimental
conditions existing under agencies of gov
ernment less perfect than the honorable
lawmakers. Apparently the Legislature
has put itself into a class with the River
Rhine;
The River Rhine. it is we'll known,
Doth wash the City of Cologne.
But tell me, Nymphs. what power Divine
Can henceforth wash the River Rhine?

a Spirit That Still Prevails

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. Your ealivening editorial "The Spirit
Of Concord" and others like it arc the demand
OF the times. We need such words to keen
US from going remss. The spirit Of Concord
is not fettered The same spirit is living in
every nook and corner of this country. just
as truly as the Cesar and Bourbon spirit is
dead. Il is this spirit in most Of US that Is
trying TO breathe freely and keep optimistic
under a Stacker administration. II is impos-
siole. Therefore our disdainful look toward
Washington is justified. The efforts OF our
officials TO bring about another political birth
for themselves leave little time for the true
interests Of the country. That is why the
nations preparedness policy is nothing but
the changing OF cymbals. That is why our
grievances against kings and emperors are
handled after the fashion Of the endless par
leyng Of children. We have rules for action;
what we want are leaders who can form the
proper perspective and who have gumption to
employ the rules The fool of to-day is the
peace at any price man. He is our shame
and he needs preparedness most because o.
his moral weakness.
over here we have three contending forces
American sentiment German sentiment
and the administration May the horizon
soon clear! May our officials soon find ou.
that the point can be reached where il Is
better for the government to let the people
avcnge their wrongs than to adhere to the
puppet habit of maintaining faith and re-
lance in the continually aggressive enemy.
Il has been said that the President looks like
an accident on its way to happen somewhere.
The happening is inevitable; the hope is
that il may come soon and that the American
people be not included in the disaster.

iron The Philadelphia Ercuing 7c.cgromJ
For the year just ended American railroads
must be credited with one Of the most colos-
sal feats Of efficiency and economy ever re-
corded During 1915 the total earnings OF
the roads are reported TO have been Sl63,
100000 less than for 1914, yet by virtue OF
astute and careful management operating
expenses were reduced by the enormous total
Of SlS6,OOO.OOO, resulting in an actual net
gain in profits.
According to "The Railway Age Gazette.
more than half the years extra savings were
effected in transportation expenses, being due
in part TO the scientific loading Of trains,
using larger cars. putting more freight into
each car and running more cars per train.
This accomplishment cannot fail TO recall
the assertion Of Louis u. Brandeis, made five
years ago, that by scientific management the
railroads of the United States might save
s 100000 a day
Now that the railroads have gone so far to-
ward the justification of that claim We are re-
minded OF Senator Aldrich's charge that the
United States government, properly conducted.
should be run at an annual saving OF $780,
C0OOO0. 1t should become a matter Of duty
and pride for Congress and the people at
large TO see that the example OF economy
set by the railroads shall be emulated. at
least in part. by the public service.
New-York tribune., 1916-01-27
Cermany's Naval Preparations.

The British Admiralty. according TO the
First Lord. have no knowledge of the II
inch guns said to have been mounted IN
the latest German battleships; hence 1t
may he conjectured that "the highest
authority" to which the information was
originally attributed. is imaginary. But
as Mr.. Balfour went on to observe. there
is nothing essentially incredible in the ru-
NOR that such exist, for given the time
and labor. there would be no difficulty IN
making them
The best reason for doubling the report
is that there is no apparent foundation for
it: Professionally. then, it may be put aside
with a great deal of other questionable IN
formation about German activities But
it is highly improbable that in naval prep
aration Germany has been idle since the
war began. A general idea of the strength
and constitution Of the German navy
wear and a half ago is common property,
but little or nothing is known Of what has
been done in the mean time. We have
heard amazing stories of the number OF
submarines turned out, but as many Of
these are obviously ridiculous, so it would
be ridiculous TO suppose that everything
else had been given up for the sake of
building submarines.
When the war began four German bat
tleships were nearing completion and
three more building, besides four battle
cruisers. half a dozen light cruisers and
number of smaller craft. 1t is impossible
10 say to what extent the programme has
been modified and expanded, but we may
he quite sure that the business of building
has been accelerated. Very possibly, with
the prospect of long war, extraordinary
efforts have been made to enlarge and
strengthen the feet in many ways.
Not very long ago some apprehension
was expressed in England at the decrease
in naval expenditure. This question was
apparently brought up yesterday in the
House Of Commons, but Mr.. Balfour's as
surances should serve to quiet the timor-
Gus. He said that every dockyard, public
and private, as well at home as in the
Mediterranean, had been turned to account
either for building or repairing. 1t may
be added that quite recently German
observer, Captain Persius, admitted that
the enemy were stronger at sea to-day
than at the outbreak Of the war.
New-York tribune., 1916-01-27

In society the currency of intercourse
