There has been much talk here about | the matter of sending hula dancers to St. Louis, and stormy objection to such proceeding has developed. The Territorial | | Government will probably ask as a condi- | tion of making an exhibit that such al-| leged representation of life in Hawail be excluded from the grounds. | “Father Wendelin, whom the Board of | Health asked Bishop Gulstan to remove | leper settiement, has made a the from the ly tc charges of the board that he e of inharmony at the seule»‘ ng that his course has been way improper.

URE.. | Political Code, AT STATE LAWS Say Pruning of Codes Would Aid Cause of Learning. FRESNO, May 7.—At to-day's session of ghe city and colinty sehool superin- tendents, Superintendent S, D. Waterman of Berkeley spoke m&“}iome Study and the Observan of Bection 1665 of the calling attention to the danger of taking the law too literally. Said he: It (the law) cannot be changed to fit all in- dividual cases, of which many different kinds come under the observation of the school su- perintendent. The thing to do is to find the middle way, not neglecting the law too much, nor being too narrow-minded, but to strike that method which, with due respect to the law, is yet the best and most productive of good to the kchool in general, far as home work is concerned that also should be assigned with reterence to each pupil's age, health, abllity, home conditions and plans for the future, which method would be fair to all and obtain sreatest and best results of each individual Case At the same time during the first four years no home work should be assigned, but the time | should be used in preparing the mind in such a manner as to enable it to stand the greater strain of the higher grades. Superintendent McLane of Fresno, re- ferring to the course of study, said that it should be general and never rigid in its nature. In regard to the matter of home study, he agreed with Waterman. McLane expressed the opinion that a good “pruning” of fhe law in educational matters would be of great benefit. Taking 2ll the laws on the subject, from the constitution to the city ordinance, there was such an overwhelming mass of re- strictions as to fairly stamp out all pos- | sibility of showing one's individuality, in one's work. The only place where more stringent iaws would bring about a change for the better was in the matter of preparation for teachers. “The better and higher the standard of teachers, the less law will be needed to obtain the best results,” said he. Superintendent J. H. .Strine of Los An- geles spoke on methods of obtaining a uniform standard for promotion. He called attention to the criticisms that were made against the prevailing plan, but ex- ssed the belief that no system could evised that would work better than the one in vogue. * Mrs. S, E. Pearl of Yolo County took up |, the question of protecting teachers who are left entirely in charge of promotions from unjust criticism from parents. FOEMER NAVY SECRETARY PRAISES LATE ADMIRAL Jchn D. Long Renders Tribute and Schley Expresses Sorrow for Sampson. HINGHAM, Mass., May 7.—The Hon. John D. Long, former Secretary of’the Navy, was deeply affected by the news of the death of Admiral Sampson. He said: -Admiral Sampson 'stood very high in the navy, baving filled many of ifs most respon- positions. His career as commander-in- Atlantic squadron during the re- ly creditable. He was in charge of all the vessels—a great number; had charge of the whole blockade: co-operated with the army in its landing and gave the orders sible’ | and made the preparations which resulted in | the mreat naval victory off Santiago. very modest and unassuming; had none of the arts of popularity and knew only his duty. I am sure, however, that history will do him justice. There is nothing so pathetic as that such a man, who deserved only praise | and gratitude, vet has died of a heart brokeu by abuse and misrepressntation. WASHINGTON, May 7.—Admiral Schley to-day made the following statement re- garding the death of Admiral Sampson: 1 regret very much the death of Ad- miral Sampson and I sympathize with his family. No one has ever heard me ut- ter one unkind word about him. On -ac- count of his death I have requested my friends in Baltimore to postpone the de- livery to me, which was intended to have taken place to-night, of the Cristobal Colon_silver service and they have ac- cepted my request. ‘According to the present arrangements, the funeral services over the remains of the late Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson will take place at 10:30 o'clock Friday morning at the Church of the Covenant. The remains then will be taken to Arling- | ton for interment, accompanied by a spe- cial military and naval escort. Sharpe Succeeds Woodruff.

SAN RAFAEL, May 7.—The case of Jo- seph Harvey' vs. Adolph Silva, involving a one-half interest in fthe Sausalito elec- tric plant, was resumed in the Superior Court this morning. When court opened this morning Attorney Meldon, represent- ing Siiva, asked why Charles L. Fair and Herman Oelrichs were not present, claim- ing they had been subpenaed last Satur- day by the defendant and had not deigned to put in an appearance. The Sheriff was instructed to bring them into court. Later in the forenoon Mr. Fair arrived. Ascertaining that he would not be called upon to testify until to-morrow or later, he requested, through Attorney James Cochrane, that he be allowed to retire, asserting that he would come from San Francisco at any specified time or upon two hours’ notice. Mr. Fair said that on Saturday he was subpenaed to be present | on Monday, but that on Sunday night Silva visited him at his rooms in the Pal- ace Hotel and asked him to see Harvey and get the case continued. Fair replied that he had nothing to do with the suit, did_not care to be mixed up in it, and, as he had already been subpenaed, would not interfere one way or another. “Oh, that was only a bluff,” said Siiva, so Fair asserts. “I don’t want you and will not require you if you will intercede for a continuance.” Because of this statement made by Silva, Fair said, he did not appear in court. Fair's assertion called forth an angry derial from_ Attorney Meldon. “If your Honor pleases,” said Meldon, “no_such statement was made. We is- sued that subpena in good faith, and as a matter of fact sent Mr. Fair the fee and mileage, as required by law, to come ere.” Fair asserted that last night he was served with papers again. Upon demand- ing the fee it was tendered to him. He came this morning, he said, to repudiate innuendos made yesterday, and would be present at any time within two hours after being notified. He was allowed the privilege of retiring until actually needed. of the day was taken up with examination of Thomas Frost, owner of one-half {interest in the the electric light company of Sausalito, and by John Harmes of the firm of Madison & Burke. To-morrow it is expected Silva will take the stand in his own behalf. TUG GRAGHES - INTO A LAUNGH, Seven Lives Are Lost in the Maumee River.

O. Murphy to-day commuted the sentence of Loufs C. Miller, now serving time in the Yuma Penitentlary, from life to twenty years' imprisonment.
