BATAVIA, Java, Feb. 4 Breaking out suddenly in an apparently con certed plan of action, Chinese laborers and others have created a reign of terror on the Island of Billiton, a Dutch possession, between Borneo and Sumatra.

They are in possession of the islands. This part of the Malay archipelago is infested with Chinese pirates, and the Dutch govern ment, it is expected, will be forced to ssnd war vessels to the scene to put down the uprising.

COUNTIES WILL IT STAND DICTATION BY PUBLIC IRKS IN APPROPRIATION FOR ROAOS Oahu, Maul and Kauai counties will all agree to the plan of appropriation for belt roads according to tho per centage of taxes each county .pays the Territory. This Is pretty well under fctood among members of the Oahu del egation, but the position of Hawaii county la not yet certain. It may be Opposed to the plan. Under the plan proposed before the Territorial convention utid lately work ed out In detail by Representative Rice of Kauai, Oahu county would get $200, 000, Hawaii $80,000, Kami! $4".,000 und Maul $7,'i,000. However, Kuwait may kick because It is the biggest county of all and gets a great deal less than Oahu and little more than Maul. ' It Is probable that the plan will go through, and the main topic of discus sion umong the politicians In this con nection is whether the counties will be. allowed to spend the money themselves, or whether Superintendent of Public Vnrks M.'irston Campbell Will Insist Take Fbntrh kmnri MANILA 'QUAKES ARE SLOWLY DECREASING ( Associated Press Cable.)

SPECIAL MEETING TO TALK OVER SCHOOLS 4, 4 There will be a special meet- ing of the Territorial Teachers' Association, at the McKinloy High School, on Thursday Af- ternoon, February !th, from 3-4 S p. in., to discuss the needs of Hawaii's schools as related to legislative action. It is the most important meet- v ing of the year. v The program includes: 1. "Public Interest and tho Schools," Mr. Uowen. 2. "The Forward Movement of the Schools," Mr. Frank Damon. that the money be spent under his direction und through his department. . .Political gossip is to the effect that any uttempt on the part of the super intendent to say how or where the money shall bo spent will be met with Hat opposition by the counties them selves. The spending of the appropri ation for roads Is regarded as purely a county function and one In which tho Territorial olliclal has no direct or legal interest. It is certain that Kauai will not stund for liny Interference. Kauai In tends to spend Its own money In Its own way. The rumor that the public works de partment may Insist on recognition In the expenditure of this special road ap propriation starts the consequent ru mor that the counties will stand to gether and demand that they be al lowed to spend their own funds ac cording to the decisions of the various boards of supervisors.

Two remarkable series of experi ments In progress by Director Charier, F. Eekart, of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association experiment sta tion, and Ills capable staff of assis' ants, are now apparently coming to a no less; remarkable conclusion. The conclusion, unless signs fail, is to he successful, in which case the- sugar industry pot only of Hawaii but of other countries as well will be direct ly benefited. One of these is a series of expert tnents with, ,u parasitic enemy of the cane-borer. The other is a test of growing cane from seed and by the processes of selection and elimina tion producing cane superior to the present varieties of the islands. Both of the experiments have been years in the process. It has-been more than four years since Mr. Fred erick Mulr, assistant entomologist at the station, was sent to New Zea land to find a parasite for tho des tructive ca:ie-borer. In the natural home of the cane-borer, it was ar gued, a parasite that would destroy It was sure to he found. This Is a law of nature, and it held good. The problem' was not to find the parasite, but to bring it to Hawaii. Tho insect was hard to propagate and even harder to send from its home In the Antipodes (.o titis Territory. But by tho patient establishment of relay stations nt various points, this diffi culty was filially solved. , To he solving, however ' Mr.' Mulr devotod the most enthusiastic and Intense en deavor, and his labor,, It seems, was not to be fruitless. ' Up at the experiment station the parasite has been propagated. That success Is coming may be argued from tho fact that the more nearly the arti ficial condition!) have approached the natural ones, the more effectively have the parasites worked, and re cently they provod deadly enemies of the cane-borer.

KILAUEA BILL WELL RECEIVED Secretary of Interior Thinks Well of Plan for Na tional Park. (By John E. Monk.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 22 Following Is a statement given out by the Interior Department. 'concerning a bill forwarded by Governor 1-Year to establish the Kilauea National Park on the Island of Hawaii: "Governor W. !'. Freur of Hawaii has forwarded to the Secretary of tho ln-j terlor a draft of a bill to establish the I Kilauea National Park on the Island of Hawaii. It Is understood the measure will be Introduced in Congress short ly by Delegate Kulanlunaole. It is drafted along lines of similar acts pass ed by Congress, more particularly those relating to the Yellowstone National Park. "It is proposed to create a park to Include the two large active volcanoes of Kilauea and Mokuuweovveo, the lat ter being at the summit uf the high mountain Maunu I.ou. The greater por tion of the area, which aggregates about iti.OOO acres, already Is public laud. It will be necessary to purchase some small privately-owned holdings, and the bill carries for this an appro-, prlatlon of $50,000. "These active volcanoes are perhaps the most notable scenic wonder of tho Island Territory, and annually ure vls- Ited by thousands of tourists. The proposed park would tuke In not mere-j ly the two volcanoes, but numerous in teresting deep pit-craters; also sulphur banks, lava tree moulds and other vol-j canle forms, In addition to tree-fern1 forests, forests of trees, both large and small, of many varieties, somo of which are very rare; and also the haunts of an unusually large number und variety of Hawaiian birds. "The people of Hawaii have discuss ed the matter for some time and are heartily In favor of making this a na tional park. Under the proposed meas ure, It would be part of the park sys tem under the Jurisdiction of the Sec retary of the Interior." (Jet jour ilcciiratioiiK for the FI.O It W, I' UI UH: NOW.

The whole subject of the disposal of the waters of the military reservation of Walauae-Uka will probably go over until the next session of Congress as the result of the report of the Sec retary of War on tho Clarke bill granting these waters to John T. Mc Crosson and his associates. The Secretary In his report, first, holds that as between the ofTers made to the government and by the Wahkiwa Water Company, that made by the MeCrosson people Is the most advan-t-igueoiis to the government; and sec ond, that the rights of the government to waters there are extremely' valu able and that he does not know just how valuable they tire. He therefore recommends thai action be deferred so that he may ascertain what the value Is, and he" asks that action on the Clarke bill bo deferred until he is in receipt of tull Information. ' The Wahlawa Water Company subr niltted brief to the Secretary mak ing a claim to water rights, clalmln certain contractiiral rights were ac quired by the law passed in February 109. The Secretary cited authorities to show that no water rights were acquired under that bill. The Secretary gave an extended hearing on the - subject at . Attorneys Pritton & Gray and Col. W. O. Hep burn, of this city, and K. M. Watson nnd F. K. Thompson of Honolulu and Frank Tlogan of tlfis city appeared for the MeCrosson people. ROOSEVELT TO NEW YORK,' Jan. 2,'.. In announc ing his itinerarv for a swine through the south and west, beginning March 8, Colonel Roosevelt stated tonight that he would- make at least two speeches for Governor Johnson jnd the progressive cause. "At Los Angeles I will speak for Governor Johnson," said Colonel Roosevelt. "He is a great friend of mine, and I gave him my promise to make one or two speeches In his great state." The Call's correspondent under stands from a reliable source that plans are being laid quietly for Col onel Roosevelt while in thoj'ar west to meet as many of the progressive Republican leaders as can he gotten together at the most convenient point, and this point, it is believed, will be San Francisco, where Colonel Roose velt will remain 10 days.

The resolu tion was virtually framed by Austin, but was introduced by Koomon, the Home P.nle member from Knna. A strenuous debate followed the In troduction of the resolution. Koomoa argued, while moving that it be adopt ed, that the roads were going from bad to worse, and the roads In Koua, for Instance, needed the supervision of a competent engineer. , Heck ley also spoke In favor of the proposition.
