MISS YARROW
RESIGNS FROM
CENTRAL UNION
The trouble which hns long been
brewing In Central Union Church has
culminated In the resignation of Miss
Yarrow, the pastors assistant.
As tho story reaches this paper .from
various sources Dr. Klncnld, on his re-
turn, showed marked signs of
pleasure nt the preference in which his
church hnd held the late Dr. Shepard-
son and wns emphatic In his demand
that Miss Yarrow should not accompany
Mrs. Shcpardson east. He based
his objection on the ground that n
great deal of work had accumulated
his absence and he wanted Miss
Yarrow to stay and do It. His views on
the subject were given at a conference
with leading church members which
called night beforo last. Miss Yar
row was present and either then, or
the next morning, when another conference
wns held, presented her own
case. She said she had done all the
hard pastoral work during the past two
years without adequate rest and that
she needed the change which the trip
east would give her. She felt that she
could not ask that the church should
pay her expenses, but as a prominent
member of It had promised to foot the
bills, she thought that neither the
church nor Its pastor should put obstacles
In the way. Dr. Klncnld grew
angry nnd reiterated his objections.
The sympnthy of the members pres
ent was entirely with Miss Yarrow, her
tireless devotion to duty appeared
In sharp contrast with the fre
quent vacations and the society nnd
club life led by the pastor.
At the morning conference Miss Yar
row, goaded by the talk of Dr. Kin
cald, who relentlessly kept up tho fight, i
filed her resignation. This was a shock
to the Doctor, who felt that If Miss ns cnairman. ana it. s. iiosmer as
Yarrow should go the burden of the secretary. This committee will advlso
church work would fall on him untlll'th all sectional Improvement clubs
the difficult task pf filling her place had orgunlzed In tho city on matters con-been
concluded. There is a large tho planting of trees along
ber of sick and poor and unfortunates 'retain streets, tho lowering of fences
various degrees to call on and help-
tut tnings 10 uo lor mo uyinc which
Miss Yarrow had attended to at mark'
ed detriment to her health. Dr.
it Is said, could hardly find time
for Buch work, having the burden on
him of two sermons a week and many
social engngements. He did not relish
at all the Idea of being left alone with
but one assistant, even bo busy a one
as the Ilev, Mr. Turner.
Miss Ynrrow's resignation having
been filed she made an arrangement
with Mrs. Shepardson to continue with
her after tho Interment of Dr. Shep-
nrdson's remnlns. Sometime during the
season Mrs. Shepardson will give her
late husband's lectures throughout the
States and Miss Yarrow will assist with
tho stercoptlcon. So the latter's connection
with Central Union may be said
to have finally termlnnted. The feeling
nroused may terminate Dr. Klncnld's
connection nlso.
AftPr tho morning conference. It is
stnted, Miss Ynrrow hnd nn emphatlo
talk with Dr. Klncnld, reciting a long
list of grievances.
As the Advertiser stated some time
beforo Dr. Klncnld returned, tho desirability
of his retirement from the
pulpit had been quietly canvassed by
leading members. It was the opinion of
several of the best men of the church
thnt Dr. Klncnld's usefulness In this
community had censed. This opinion
gained ground after tho Mohonk speech.
The Advertiser Interviewed six of tho
most prominent Central Unionists, who
said things like these:
(1) "Dr. Klncnld Is a scholar nnd a
porsunslvc speaker, hut ho has
many people whoso help wo need."
(2) "I hnvo been a friend of Dr.
but I feel that, for the welfare of
the church, he should quietly retire. He
has taken sides In politics which were
not becoming to him ns our pastor."
(3) "Wo have not taken Dr. Klncnld
very .seriously In his politics and don't
cure much nbout whnt ho hns said at
homo. Hut wo do not like to hnvo him
misrepresent us abroad. Perhaps we
shall have "to keep him hero to prevent
him hurting Hawnll all tho ttmo on tho
mainland."
(4) "I believe tho solid men of tho
church In the main ngreo with tho Advertiser's
estimate of Dr. Klncnld. I did

(6) "Well, Dr. Klncnld has many
qualjtles, but he can not hold
bis temper and he has no discrimination."
(fi) "Dr. Klncnld puts his foot in' it
too often."
Only the other day a lndy said: "Dr.
Klncnld has an Intellectual grasp on
Christianity, but no spiritual grasp."
There ate, however, many people on
the Klncnld side, particularly women.
How they will stand on the Yarrow
question remains to be seen, as the appreciation
of that self-sacrificing
woman Beems to be unanimous so far
as tho pew is concerned.

Messrs. A. Gartley, vice chairman;
F. C. Smith, 13. I. Spalding and H. P.
Wood, secretary, and Messrs. Glffard,
Hosmer, Kidwcll, Young, Mclntyro
and Haughs were present at the Joint
meeting.
Mr. Glffard in referring to Mr. Robinson,
tho park expert, who has been
cnlled icro to lay out a park system,
said that his Idea would bo that Mr.
Itoblnsori was merely to advlso and
suggest a system of parks, not to
tho method of laying out tho
trees nnd shrubbery nnd wnlks.
Mr. Kidwcll wns of tho opinion that
Mr. Hoblnson should bo asked to glvo
details as to working out tho park
system. Ho might not bo ablo to tell
which variety of trees would bo best
adapted to certain parks. This duty
could bo delegated to experts such ns
Mr. Hosmer nnd Mr. Haughs. However,
the advisory commltteo should
ascertain the sites available and lay
them before Mr. Robinson.
Mr Mclntyro thought It lmposslblo
for an eastern man to como hero and
bo ublo to recommend what trees
should bo planted here.
Mr. Gnrtley suggested thnt each of
tho gentlemen wns competent to lay
out a plan of his own, which might
bo presented to Mr. Robinson for his
consideration.
Mr. Kidwcll, referring to various Im
provements about tho city, suggested
that Wilder Avenue, In which ho was
Interested as a. resident, should bp
planted with rows of Polnctana Rcgla
trees. A half a mile of theBO beautiful
trees could be lined along that attractive
avenue,
Mr. Glffard agreed with other speakers
that Homo system In tho planting
of trees on streets must bo maintained.
Both sides of a street should hnvo
tho Biuno variety of trees, or trees with
tho same habits. This aa whero tho

Mr. Glffntd's Idens In this respect. Experts
In tree planting, also, knew that
In somo places Polnclnna Reglna would
not do well, on nccount ot wind. In
others, they would do well. Mr. Kid-well
nIo ndvlsed that nil people uso

A letter from Superintendent of Pub-lie
Instruction llabbltt. contained tho
following paragraph:
"I beg to acknowledge receipt of
jour favor rognrdliiR tlie fence around
tho High School grounds Thti matter
will be brought up nt the next
incotlng of tho Commissioners of Education
on Wednesday."
Mr. Glffard In referring Ip the removal
of fences from the front of private
premise!, enld that estrnys mike
It Impossible nt present In some sections,
He wns In favor of tnklng down
fences If It would beautify the city.
Smalt lioys also damaged premises almost
as much ub estrnyB,
Mr Hosmer ndvlsed giving the advisory
committee power to Increase Its
membership. He desired that President
Griffiths of Oahu College bo added.
Mr. Spnldlng said the city Improvement
wns a good work and nhould be
pushed nnd the Promotion Committee
members would nlso have' to put their
shoulders to the wheel.
Mr. Glffard thought the Promotion
Committee should take cognizance of
he unsightly telephone poles which
bristle all over the city. Thero were
!r .tLnaUl"ri,r't m that we were not trying
held no wires. Mr. Spalding Bald thnt
while the committee did not wnnt to
Interfere with nny prlvntc business or

liiuniMK nit; uny ititi uuliyc.
Mr. Glffnrd wns of the opinion thnt
a better system in selecting telephone
poles could be maintained. These
poles Rhould be erected with something
of the uniformity of the electric light
and Rapid Trnnslt poles. The latter
two sets were nlso painted dark green
nnd did not stand out glaring In un-
palnted condition na were the telephono
poles. Many of the latter were Bqunre,
some round, some tall, some short, and
nearly all crooked and unsightly.
Mr. Kldwell said the advisory committee
could get to work by conferring
with President GrIIIUhs with reference
to tree planting In College Hills. There
should be some uniformity in the distance
trees are planted from tho curbing.
The meeting then adjourned as a
Joint session, the advisory committee
getting together In one portion of the
promotion room and the Promotion
Committee meeting elsewhere to consider
routine matters of business.
xne secretary was instructed to look
up tne law of estrnys. if there was1
not a law at present which would give
property owners protection should they (
remove the fences, the county supervis
ors should be (inked to pass an ordinance
covering the matter.
Mr. Spalding said the committee could
not expect to see a sweeping removal
of fences. It would have to come
gradually.
A letter from M. F. Peter, secretary
of the Kallhl Improvement Club,
nea tne committee that at a recent
meeting the club advocated (1) grading
of streets, preparatory to tree planting;
(2) repairs to roads; and (3) lights
along the streets.
Mr. Smith stated that he had con
ferred with Commodore Hobron of the
Hawaii Yncht Club relative to the pro
posed ocean yacht race from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu next year. Mr, Hob
ron was getting out entry blanks to be
sent to all yacht clubs on the mainland.
As to a trophy, Mr. Smith snld thnt
the usual style of cups was merely for
ornamental purposes and seldom for
useful purposes. He proposed a design
for the "Hawaiian Cup" ns tho trophy
is to be called, In the shape of a genuine
old Hawaiian calabash, but made
of silver. It could be ornamented and
would be a handsome trophy for nny
yncht club, nnd It wns something they
could use for festnl occasions.
"Wo might ndd a ladle," suggested
Mr. Gartley.
Mr. Smith said thnt Mr. Wlchmnn
had generously offered to have a trophy
mnnufnetured nnd turn It over to the
c - cost price
The cup Is to be offered by the Ha
waiian Promotion Committee, but thu
trophy will he presented by the Hawaii
Yacht Club and known only as the
"Hawaii Cup." A motion to this effect
was passed.
No progress was reported for the
proposed Floral Parade.
A letter from J. A. McCandlesa wns
i end. Ho stated that the Mntson Navigation
Co. was to put on its pew
vessel for Island service In February.
It would be well fitted up for
passenger service and would carry passengers
nt lower rntes thnn now pre
vail. Mr. McCandlesa stated that the
Examiner wnnted the Promotion Com
mittee to tnkej twelve pages of their
Christmas edition for advertising the
Islands. Mr. McCandlcss said he had
told a "hard luck" story, and It Is not
probable the committee enn tnko advantage
of the offer.
The matter of vegetables was discussed.
One member said thnt tho
corn raised and sold here by Chinese
was not of the best quality. It was
generally hard and unpalatable. Allan
Herbert, James G. Spencer nnd Henry
Mncfnrlnne had proven that sweet, soft
corn could be raised In and about Ho
nolulu nnd on Oahu in general, and It
wns ngreed thnt the question should
be ngltnted among those who are In
position to grow this staple of the
American family table.
Mr. Smith said that the new rnllwny
line to Wnhlawa would be In readiness
next July nnd he believed that much
nttentlon would bo paid to vegetnble
growing by the fnrmers, and with
quick transportation to the city there
vas no doubt they would find a rendy
mnrket for corn and all other garden
products.
