Yesterday afternoon the Supreme
Court rendered a unanimous decision
against the government, in Its posi
tion of defending the Board of Health
regulation prohibiting the growing of;
bananas near residences. Chief Jus
tice Robertson writes the opinion of
the court, which is given In full be
low. By examples from other juris
dictions It hows just how the Board j
oi tieaiin exceeaea us powers in con
demning the banana. Where tho
health authorities of a certain town
insisted on examining tho baggage of
passengers from uninfected places as
well as Infected, the court that tried
the protest against the action in ques
tion declared tho authorities exceeded
their powers. But where a legisla
ture specifically authorized a munici
pality to pass an ordinance prohibit
ing rice culture within its bounds, the

the matter of seduring boys for tho
proposed agricultural school to bo
opened In co-operation with tho Ka
huku plantation company at Kahuku.
"I am sorry that tho matter Is not
moving fastor," stated Mr. Pope, "but
'thero seems to bo a disposition to
qusstion tho good faith of the propo
sition. In fact somo of the boys
whoso parents had agreed to their go

I think wo shall bo able to get tho
fifty required for making n start."
Mr. Popo stated that he had person
ally seen a number of families who
are considering permitting their boys
to enter tho school, and ho believes
thnt at least a fow recruits will bo so
cured as n result. A number of boys
now in tho industrial school at Waia
lee, who havo shown good character
and proper Inclinations, will also pos
sibly bo permitted to enter tho new
institution.
Mr. Popo Is very enthusiastic of tho

The abovo cablegram was received
this morning. It means that Duke
Kahanamoku, Jr., Hawaii's champion
swimmer, will bo a member of the
American team of athletes which will
compdte' for world's lienors at tho
Fifth Olympiad to be held In Stock
holm next July.
Tt also means that the sending of
Kahanamoku to the mainland to take
part in the tryouts will turn out to be
one of the most important advertising
features that these Islands have ever
had.
Just what Duke has done to earn
the honor is unknown here at present
People are not bothering about that,
anyway. Everyone Is more than sat
isfied to take the cablo ' at Its face
value and let it go at tat.
According to the Eastern papors
and advices from Manager Lew G.
Henderson, tho 50 and 100 yards
races In which Kahanamoku was ex
pected to make his best showing wpro
not to have taken place In Chicago till
th" 12th and 13th Inst. These, It has
been understood, were to be the real
Olympic tests at these distances.
Test Dates Switched.
The date originally set for these
events was February 28. The date or
the Pittsburg 220 and &00 yards races
was February 22, and these races were
pulled off according to schedule. The
Chicago dates have booniiphanged for
some unaccountable reason
In tho meanwhile, Duk?. and party
went on to New York and the former
competed in and won a hundred yards
race there, though just what event II
was or what importance attached to
tho victory no one at this end of the
lino has any idea.
Vincent GenQves, who accompanied
Kahanamoku on his Journey, appears
to have been lost in tho shuffle, as far
as definite news regarding him is con
cerned. The last heard from him was
that ho finished fifth In his heat in
tho 220-yards race at Plttsburer and
that ho was expected to take part in

which will not only destroy a possiblo
mosquito menace, but add greatly to
tho beauty of tho park. In this con
nection Governor Frear, accompanied
by Deputy Attorney General Lymer of
tho legal department of the Board of
Health, and Judge Henry E. Cooper,
paid' a visit to the park yesterday aft
ernoon. Tho stream which onco wound its
way through tho park had Its waters
diverted by a Chineso rice grower and
