Oriental fans F. b. Sherwood, bust
an-philanthropist OF Los An
geles, stakes his pleasures with the
children. incidentally he wrote: u
Love You, California.
The pleasures of the kids are my
pleasures, he says and one could
easily believe 1t from a smile that
he says, comes clear from the heart
and is not born TO be easily brushed
away on the lips.
Although Silyerwood's idea of help.
ing American youngsters is not ex.
actly new he has patent on one
scheme that few If any had thought
of before he started. The idea is this:
About five or six thousand chill
dren of Los Angeles and southern
California are now the proud posses
sors of bank books. They got them
from Sherwood. Last year they
saved about $4,000. With remark
able card index system he keeps a
check on them and if they save he
helps them cut a little; if they do
not he writes them little letter or
sees them personally.

Of the most improbable guesses, and
the fact that J. r. Pierce and o. V.

THE facts are, however, that in ac.

Despite the report OF Sunday that
a message from Hilo told Of damage
TO the o. J. ID; Alters, similar 70 that
on the refugee German steamers here,
passengers on the lnteT-Island steamer
Mauna Kea and officers OF that
steamer had heard nothing Of Il yes
terday and the Hilo Herald gives no
details OF any such occurrence, but
rather infers that the Alters is UNI
damaged.
Capt. Freeman and other officers
said they had heard nothing in Hilo
concerning any damage done the
Alters by her crew such as was
wrought aboard the eight refugee mer-
chantmen here last week by their
crews The, Mauna Kea's officers
thought that II anything of the kind
had been done they would certainly
have heard of IL while the steamer
was in. port at Hilo.
Hilo Receives Little News
Hilo passengers arriving on the
Mauna Kea today learned the first
news Of Sundays exciting events
after they walked ashore here. They
said no wireless messages about the
burning of the Geier and the destruc-
ton wrought upon the boilers and
engines of the German freighters here
had been received in Hilo down to
the time the Mauna Kea left there
at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Ii IS
evident that the dispatches sent from
here had not passed censorship.
Capt. Freeman said that the COM
pany OF United States regulars which
left here on the Mauna Kea Saturday
afternoon went on one OF their regular
cuttings to the Kilauea military train
ing camp.
Twelve men from the company left
the camp at the Volcano and came
back TO Hilo. where they boarded the
o. J. ID. Alters at o'clock yesterday
afternoon" said Capt. Freeman The
others stayed at the Volcano and are
up there today, so far as know"
