MRS. ORATAKI WILL
ASK COMPENSATION
FOR HUSBANDS DEATH

Compensation will be asked from
the War Department for the death OF
T. Orataki, Japanese carpenter, who
was killed a month ago at Schofield
Barracks by shot accidentally fired
by Pvt Anderson of the 25th Infantry
when the latter was walking guard
and the Japanese was asleep in a
building nearby.
The mans wife and children are al
most destitute as he was their sole
support 1t is impossible, says Judge
W.. T. Robinson, who is acting as at
torney for the woman, to sue the gov
eminent for Orataki's death, but it is
hoped the secretary of war may find
a way to make some payment.
Orataki was asleep when the bullet
from Anderson's gun sped through
the wall of his room in a house about
100 feet outside of the military reser.

ELIMINATING THE kicks. !"

Hilo's determination to work together and
pull together for the tourist future of the island
is evidenced in the press comment from the Big
Island concerning the Great Northern's latest
stop there 1t will be remembered that the
Great Northern passengers reached here with
many complaints of delay, unsatisfactory ser
vice from the dock TO the volcano and back.
ETC. Instead of denying that there was any
such trouble, the Hawaii Herald prints the
news of the complaints and draws attention to
the necessity for better arrangements in the
future,
With the completion of the Hilo breakwater,
most of the transportation troubles can be
overcome for all begin with the carrying of
passengers ashore in boats instead of landing
them direct at the dock The quarantine in
spection is matter of Importance, and perhaps
the long delay-costly to Ifilo and harmful to
the Great Northern-will stir up adequate ac-
ton. The periodical coming of the Great
Northern with several hundred passengers
makesit Imperative that the health inspection
service at Hio be augmented
All of these problems Hilo can and will solve
bypuliing together. Honolulu has just as much
interest as the Crescent City in seeing that the
Great Northern passengers are given plenty of
time on the Big Island and come away entirely
satisfied. This city gains nothing permanently
profitable from visitors dissatisfied at the be-
ginning of their trip. HiIo and the island of
Hawaii have the goods" in abundant measure
and when the Hilo visit and the trip to the
Volcano are systematized so that the tourist is
pleased every minute, there will be no dis
satisfaction.

At the present time, the division is

Hawaiian bananas are only being sold

Mr.. Pearson came here for the pur-

BISHOP APPEALS

An appeal to young men to lead
strong. true and righteous lives was
made by Henry Bond Restarick,
Episcopal bishop of Honolulu, in q
sermon delivered to the boys of the
FIVE intermediate classes of the loca,
Y, NJ c. A. in ST. Andrews cathedral
last night.
The five clubs were we'll represent
ed. The boys met at the association
at Z o'clock and from there marched
to the cathedral. The topic OF the
sermon was Love the brotherhood
fear God, honor the king IN these
eight words. the bishop pointed out,
IS found a perfect statement of
strong. true and righteous manhood.
In these days when millions of
young men are giving their lives for
cause which they believe is just, the
speaker continued, the American
young man should have vision of life
beyond the material things.
fIf our education has one aim. the
gain of wealth is poor thing" he
continued. THE dollar. if held close
to the eyes, will shut out the light OF
the sun. These terrible days have
made us all sick of vain-glorious self
satisfaction, we are learning where we
are weak, we are thinking of what
makes men. and nations really strong
Reverence for some power outside
of ones self is universal instinct. It
may, like any instructive power, be
perverted or covered UP. The real.
history of man is in his temples and
affairs through which he kept in touch
with the divine power in which ne
believed. No nation has long survived
decay of worship"

GARDEN ADVISES
BOARD TO HOLD
UP SCHOOL BILL

Acting on the advice of Deputy City
Attorney w. T. Garden. the board Of
supervisors has temporarily at least
held up the appropriation budget for
school buildings. Gardens reason Is
the law. which says that a board of
supervisors may not expend money
which is not available during a Ger.
tain period.
Money for school buildings 10 the
amount of $4,000 was Appropriated
by the last legislature. but this Is
payable twice year for a petiod OF
Two years. making only $21 ESQ avail
able for the half-year period
Just now the supervisors are held
up in their plans TO begin work on
several large buildings. including a
$4,000 structure az Central Grammar
and a similar one at Kaahiimanu
school.
Supervisor Logan of the public ex-
penditure committee is OF the opin-
ion that the board may appropriate
all of the money at once and rush
along the building of new schools
which are badly needed. Otherwise,
he says. the legislature defeats its
own purpose

The official press agents of the Allies seem to
think an effective method of waging war is by
stories concerning the health of various mem
bers of the German royal family. The Crown
Prince has been killed so often that his sudden
demise no longer creates any sensation at all,
and most of his royal brothers have been either
slain at the front or died in hospitals from
wounds or disease. Their miraculous resur
rections apparently did not daunt the Allied
rumorologists in the least for out of the
Kaiser's carbuncle these official gossips de
veloped a malignant cancer which was sup
posed to have brought Emperor Wilhelm to the
point of death. Detailed reports of his visits
around Berlin on Saturday are sent out by the
Berlin official news agencies to counterfeit
these rumors but the Allies will doubtless con-
time to insist that the Kaiser is about dead.
