little Iiojh' of so doing in six Teal's.
Nor is the provision against more than one
term necessary. The people will always wish to
reward a popular president by more than one
nu and to punish a selfish man by defeating
i him. The case of France has been cited as an
example of a single-term presidency, but it is not
a parallel case; at all. The French president is
considerably more of a figure-head than an act-

Building Inspector, Miehlstein says in a re
port that local theaters are dangerous because of
fire hazard. It is perhaps true that dressing
rooms and rears of stages are sometimes made
repositories of inflammable material. It is also
very certain that the Honolulu theaters as a rule
are less dangerous than those of any large city on
the repositories of inflammable material. It is
also very certain that the Honolulu theaters are
less dangerous than those of. any large city on
the mainland. Few of the local playhouses have
stairways, the aisles are only slightly inclined
and the construction is largely of concrete and
metal. Still, to give the maximum of protection,
the municipal authorities, either police or build
ing inspectors, should have the right to order
reasonable changes made and the power to en
force their orders, which, it would apjear from
Mr. Miehlsteiu's report, they have not now.
MAY BUY LAND FOR
THE ROYAL SCHOOL
If the present plans of the board of
education are received favorably by
tbe comfng legislature, the property
su. rounding the Royal School, mauki
of the holdings of the Bishop Estate
will probably be purchated by the
county. The suggestion was plated be
fore Superintendent Pope and Inspec
tor Gibson by H. L. Dodson, a motor
nan in the employ of the Rapid '1 ran
sit company,, with a view of having
the department endorse the move
ment .
For several years past the board of
education has ieen striving to secure
additional grounds for the Royal
School, and Mr. Dodson yesterday re
ceived assurance that the board is
heartily In fav0r of the movement. A
few years ago the land in question
could have been purchased - for about
four hundred 'dollars, .4at It is said
that is could not be bought at the pres
ent time for less than $10,000. The
Rcyal School now.jflas.an attend".n?e

"I am surprised at the police offi
cers placing a woman under arrest
and bringing her and her little child
to the police station in this condition."
declared District Magistrate Monsar
rat this morning, when called upon to
pass judgment in a. case where a party
of five persons had been arraigned on
a charge of making a loud and riotous
noise and generally disturbing the
peace.
A young Hawaiian woman, with a
mere bab tugging at her skirts, made
a pitiful picture as she lined up in the
prisoners' dock with a motley assort
ment of drunks and malefactors, and
she awakened the sympathies of many
in the courtroom, including Judge
MonsarraL
The police declare that a series of
telephone messages came from the
lower Queen street neighborhood,
where the melee was in progress. Two
officers hurried to the scene and short
ly after 7 o'clock they placed the wo
man and four companions under ar
rest. On the stand this morning it was
declared that all parties were much
under the influence of liquor.
The strictures offered by Judge Mon
sarrat were along the line that the
woman appeared in -court scantily
clothed. The child, it is believed, will
be, cared for by the authorities.
Three members of the party entered
pleas of guilty. In passing sentence
Judge Monsarrat gave a suspended
sentence in the case of the woman,
while the male companions were each
fined two dollars and costs.

PROMOTION WOOD
BOOSTS "FOR LECTURE
H. P. Wood, secretary of the pro
motion committee, in a statement this
morning, urged the people of Honolulu
to attend the lecture to be given by
Mr." and Mrs. Edward H. Kemp next
Saturday night at the Opera House,
the seat sale for which is now open at
the rooms of the promotion committee.
"These three lectures," said Mr.
Wood, "are among the finest. They
bring to the eyes and ears of those
who go vivid pictures of the life ot
the great painted desert, and the re
markable Hopi Indians who live there."
The Hop! Indians' snaxe dance,
which will be the feature of the lec
ture Saturday night, is ; famous the
world over and the moving pictures
which will be 6hown were taken by
Mr. Kemp himself during a stay
among the Indians, and are said to be
the only moving pictures ever taken of
the ceremony.
Following the lecture "The Indians
of the Painted Desert," Mr. and Mrs.
Kemp will give two other lectures,
"Yellowstone Park and the Sioux In
dians," with vivid pictures of the great
national reservation and of Indian life,
and "Panama and the Canal Up to
Date.
The second lecture will be given
next Tuesday night and the last one
week from Friday. The tickets arc
selling fast, and a large crowd is ex
pected. Much interest is being taken
in the lectures by the students of Pu
naliou and other colleges.

John Hughes, chairman of the horse
driven floats section, has a corps of
hustlers who are finding plenty to do,
as the time for closing entries draws
near. The Normal school, and the Ho

are two' recent entries that will have
good features in this part of the par

at least two entries.
The Hippest Job.
John H. Wise is the man with prob
ably the biggest job of all the chair
men just now, partly because his part
of the work is big anyhow and partly
because it was so late when, he took
it up. Wise succeeded W. T. Rawlins,
when the latter was taken ill, as head
of the Waikiki regatta and plan for
representation of the Landing of Ka
mehameha. He is picking out a list
of assistants and in the meantime
hustling for canoes, for he expects to
land the modern Kamehameha with an
escort of about fifty canoes full of
warriors.- Two of the canoes will be
ressetarwhich were actually used, by
the great king himself, a Hundred ana
twenty years ago. One of them is the
property of Prince Kuhio, having come
to him from the late King Kalakaua. It
is on Hawaii and has been sent for.
The other was brought to Honolulu
yesterday and offered to Mr. Wise by
A. L. C. Atkinson, the present owner.

Honolulu, Feb. 4, 1313.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: I feel that I have been mis
represented enough in the Inter-Island
controversy, and I must deny that
1 was in possession of Captain Tul
lett's resignation, sooner than Febru
ary 2nd, 1913, on which date he met
me in the evening and handed it to me
shortly before 6 o'elock.
I make this statement in contradic
tion of the impression which might be
gained through the reading of your
paper, which stated that his resigna
tion was dated January 18, 1913, and
would infer that I was in possession
of it from that date. Yours truly,
