Engineers Solve Problem<br />

WORK NEAR HALT<br />
Final Difficulty Is Now<br />
Thought to Have<br />
Vanished.<br />
On tho verge of a halt in the work<br />
on tho groat naval drydock at Pearl<br />
Harbor, tho engineers at tho local naval<br />
station here discovered tho long sought<br />
for blend' of concrete, lack of which<br />
threatened the completion of tho tremendous<br />
job. It was announced yesterday<br />
that but for this discovery1 and<br />
the accompanying solution of tho perplexing<br />
problem, the men at work<br />
on tho dock would have been called off<br />
.yesterday afternoon, indefinitely. As<br />
it is, the- work will proceed.<br />
Pew in Honolulu have realized how<br />
near to serious hitch the work on the<br />
big dock has been. The fact that the<br />
bottom, piled high though it 'was with<br />
inuumer--abl- e<br />
'concrete, was leaking from the<br />
springs that gush through "<br />
the.<br />
coral there, has been published, but<br />
not what it meant. knowl-odg- o<br />
With this<br />
the engineers in charge of the<br />
--work found themselves face to face<br />
with a problem which seemed to be un<br />
solvable and which o<br />
threatened tho<br />
sudden-departu- re<br />
task. With the"'<br />
--of Engineer Franc s IJ. Smith of the1<br />
Son Francisco Bridge Gompany for tho<br />
Coast, arose a rumor that the engineers<br />
iad found the work hopeless, and that<br />
it might be shut down permanently, and<br />
a new location sought for tho dock.<br />
Yesterday's discovery means thnt tho<br />
$2,500,000 dock will probably be finished<br />
on tho present site. Had a concrete<br />
mixture capable of withstanding the<br />
:action of the water not been found, a<br />
now site-- would have been select-cd- ,<br />
and failing in that; the drydock<br />
at Pearl Harbor might have been abandoned<br />
and the proposed naval base<br />
planned to bo the greatest under the<br />
American flag forgotten. In tho absence<br />
of any knowledge of a concrete<br />
;3?jislnro which would licriiictlea'ly cap<br />
tno"obttom tho engineers for the<br />
came to the eonclu<br />
sion that it would bo wise to suspend<br />
all operations until a sat sfactory mixture<br />
could bo found.<br />
i . -- In Nick of Time.<br />
W.s"E..Dillingham, president of the<br />
Hawaiian Drodging Company, which is<br />
interested in the San Francisco Bridge<br />
Company's dock contract, stated yesterday<br />
that all tho employes would have<br />
been paid off yesterday afternoon at<br />
the close of tho day's work, but for<br />
tho welcome news from the naval n<br />
authorities that the<br />
of concrete had been found,<br />
.Naval Engineer Hoy 1'rancis Smith,<br />
wlm has been in direct charge of work<br />
on the Pearl Harbor naval reservation,<br />
undor Engineer Gayler, U. S. N., com-plotc- d<br />
Ills tests yesterday and received<br />
identical information of duplicate tests<br />
carried on at tho College of Hawaii,<br />
whore concrete blocks havo been tested<br />
out for some time.<br />
"Wo poured n block six feet thick,<br />
bix icei long anu six icet wiue, composed<br />
of 1, 2, and 3 2 grade of rock,<br />
with Puget Sound sand," said Enginect<br />
Smith yesterday, "and the result exceeded<br />
all our expectations. Tho class<br />
of mixture wo had been peeking for<br />
weeks was found at last, and it is a<br />
mixture which will compose well in tho<br />
water of Pearl Harbor. Tho mothod<br />
lias now been perfected whereby tho<br />

REPORT PEST ON<br />
W N HAWAII<br />
H. B. GIFFARD NOW INVESTIGAT-<br />
ING SPECIMENS FOUND ON<br />
THE SMATJiTIB ISLAND.<br />
Reports from Maui indicate tho<br />
presence there of tho Mediterranean<br />
fruit fly among Chineso oranges. Simultaneous<br />
reports from Hawaii announce<br />
that tho fruit fly's appearauco<br />
on the Kona coffee plantations is not<br />
regarded as particularly serious.<br />
H. B. Giffard, agricultural commissioner,<br />
said yesterday that lie is making<br />
an investigation of tho Teport from<br />
Maui and that there is not yet any<br />
definite proof that the flies found thcro<br />
aro tho Mediterranean pest.<br />
J. N. S. AVilliams, ono of the com- -<br />
mittepmen in plmrrrn nf nfiini.niiTii<br />
I against the fruit fly, has sent to Mr.<br />
Giffard a collection of maggots found in<br />
the infested district of Maui.<br />
"Until these maggots aro hatched,"<br />
said Mr. Giffard, "thcro is no positivo<br />
I<br />
means of determining whether tho<br />
Chinese ornngo pest is the fruit fly.<br />
I Tho investigations of Mr.Villiani8 and<br />
tho goneral character of tho fly invasion<br />
cast a bit of suspicion over the matter,<br />
but there is no reason for serious<br />
alarm."<br />
As to tho presence of tho fly in Kona<br />
I Mr. Giffard said that its numbers aro<br />
not Jargo and everything is being done<br />
to prevent it from becoming destructive.<br />
Kona people say that they ha'vo found<br />

..w U(,, muni wiu jiavo uui'M ioiu IS<br />
tho Mediterranean pest, is an old in- -<br />
iiauitnnt oi Kona, and has been living<br />
j in the coffee plantations for years past.<br />
Mr. Giffaid laughs at this and says<br />
tho fly has not been thcro two months.<br />
Maul's first intimation of tho<br />
presence of the fruit fly came last week<br />
when J. L. Cornwcll of Wailuku noticed<br />
(hat the ground under some Chineso<br />
orango trees nt tho residence of Patrick;<br />
Cockott of Waikapif, was covered with<br />
fallen fruit. Ho gathered some of this<br />
fruit and breaking it opon noticed that<br />
it was infested with maggots. Thcso<br />
were taken to tho sheriff's offico at<br />
Wailuku and J. N. S. Williams, of tho<br />
antifruit fly committee, examined the<br />
specimens.<br />
Fruit in tho infected district was<br />
destroyed, and precautions taken to<br />
prevent tho spread of tho insect pending<br />
more thorough examination.<br />

LINK MAY OFFER<br />
-- ' "<br />
TERMS TO SHERIFF.<br />
SHY- -<br />
POtlTICHlS- -<br />
Politicians are now studying two<br />
possibilities in the Democratic party,<br />
ono of which that McCandicss will offer<br />
Sheriff Jarrett and Deputy Sheriff<br />
Koso tho support of tho machine for<br />
renomination and election on condition<br />
that they agree to place tho polico departments<br />
at the disposal of tho machine.<br />
Tho othor possibility is that tho<br />
offer has already been made.<br />
Whilo nothing is moro to bo oxpected<br />
than this offer, which has actually boon<br />
formulated in tho Democratic camp, or<br />
rather, in tho McCandicss camp, few<br />
thought that tho "Grand Old Bourbon"<br />
would offer such a scheme to tho<br />
sheriff, or think that ho was tho kind<br />
of a man who would accept it.<br />
Tho sheriff has not yet made any<br />
statement regarding tho offer. If ho<br />
nccopts, it will bo to acknowledge tho<br />
tule of the ring composed of Juon,<br />
Gumpfcr nnd others which ho smnshed<br />
a year ago when it tried to saddle tho<br />
police department with its authority<br />
after it. lia.il formed itself into tho<br />
Democratic County Committee.<br />
Tho first man to go if tho sheriff accepts,<br />
which all tho chances are' against,<br />
will be Chief McDuflie, who is a<br />
when he is nnythlng in<br />
politics, and who has been a target for<br />
Harry Juen for two yenrs. .Tuen has<br />

License Commissioners<br />
Talk Over New<br />
Policy<br />
TOOMUCHNOSAVEY<br />
Ruling May Put Many<br />
Orientals Out of<br />
Business<br />
(Prom Saturday's Advertiser.)<br />
If the determination arrived at yesterday<br />
by the boaTd of license commissioners<br />
be put into force next Juno,<br />
when all liquor licenses will linvo to bo<br />
renewed, only those who can speak anil<br />
Tead English will be eligible, to become<br />
licensees.<br />
Too great a difficulty in getting at<br />
the facts of an alleged breach of its<br />
regulations yesterday afternoon convinced<br />
the board of liquor commissioners<br />
that people who do not talk<br />
English should not hold saloon licenses.<br />
As a result a policy has already been<br />
formed, which will probnbly bo put into<br />
force on June 1, and which will put<br />
many aliens out of the liquor business<br />
and keep qjhers out,<br />
No race lines nro intended by the<br />
commission according to an interpretation<br />
of the policy given by ono commissioner.<br />
A Valuablo Prtvilego.<br />
"I bclicvo that wo nro handling a<br />
valuable privilege," said Commissioner<br />
mown. "Too vnlunblo to Do given to<br />
those who ennnot read the instructions<br />
of tho board. I do not bcliovo wo<br />
should have to do our business through<br />
interpreters."<br />
So the chances now stand in favor of<br />
nil Japanese nml Chinese or others now<br />
holding licenses who can not read tho<br />
book of instructionsjhey receive, getting<br />
tho ax.<br />
Sasaki's license ends on Juno 1 and<br />
will not bo renewed. By tnlting that<br />
nction tho commissioners commit themselves<br />
to their new policy and to show<br />
that this was not intended as a punishment<br />
for the particular offenso that<br />
brought the saloon before tho board, it<br />
was shut down for ono week besides.<br />
This sentence commences today. Notice<br />
will also be served on Sasaki that his<br />
license will not be renewed, in' order<br />
that he may sell out to someone eligible<br />
to bold a license.<br />
Prost Offender.<br />
The case that impressed tho commission<br />
with the necessity of this policy<br />
was that of Sasaki, proprietor of tho<br />
Prost Saloon. Sasaki was cited to "ap<br />
pear for Bcrving a man on his premises<br />
who was not only drunk, but was also<br />
on the tabu list. It turned out that not<br />
only had the proprietor been in Japan<br />
almost ever since tho licenso was<br />
granted, but that ho had returned only<br />
when inndo nware by cablo of tho citation<br />
and was even thou in tho hospital.<br />
Ilia attorney appeared for him.<br />
What i3 a Jag7<br />
Tho barkeepers and assistant manager<br />
wcro all present nml gave thoir<br />
side of the case which was to tho effect<br />
that the man wasn't drunk and<br />
that they had served directly to his<br />
friend and not to him nuywny. Fenncll<br />
who had watched tho man, was not<br />
only convinced that he was drunk, hut<br />
produced court records showing that ho<br />
had been arrested immediately after-jvnrfl- s<br />
nud had pleaded guilty to the<br />
charge.<br />
"1 move that be instructed<br />
to go out and get drunk himself so that<br />
ho '11 know in futuro what n jag is,"<br />
snapped Chairman Cooko after four<br />
different people bad stnted through interpreters,<br />
that there was no jag in<br />
cvidcuco whatovor.<br />
All the Japanese wcro put through a<br />
vigorous examination aB to their knowl-<br />
edge of tho law and it wns found that<br />
they hadn't any. So rank was their<br />
ignoranco that their own attorney was<br />
surprised. Tho commissioners made no<br />
secret of their astonishment and "a<br />
sice bunch to have a. licenso" was the<br />
expressed and unanimous opinion.<br />
"J don't think there is ono Bpark of<br />
intelligence in tho whole crowd," exclaimed<br />
one commissioner when tho examination<br />
was over.<br />
" Macfarlane Up.<br />

There Ib another Smith in tho Whito<br />
skipper of tho Whito Star Star service, Capt. Harry B. Smith, who<br />
liner Titanic waB named Smith, there is supposed to ho the man who went<br />
wus considerable speculation hero as down with the Titanic after urging his<br />
to whether it might bo tho Capt Harry crow to remember that they were Bri-<br />
Smith well known in Honolulu, who tish and supposed to face death un-<br />
left tho Boric when sho was mado the flinchingly.<br />
of the tragedy becomes more and more apparent. Last night,<br />
after a careful rechecking of the list of those saved and a comparison<br />
with the lists obtained from Liverpool by cable of all who were<br />
aboard the liner, the White Star officials announced their estimate<br />
of the dead at sixteen hundred and thirty-fiv- e, which includes those<br />
who died of fright or exposure after being taken off the sinking<br />
vessel in the lifeboats.<br />
Bit by bit the events of those fearful few hours, between the time<br />
when the iceberg ripped the death gash through the steel side of the<br />
liner and the time the remnants of her company were taken aboard<br />
the Carpathia, are being learned, and into the many tales of heroism<br />
are creeping the few incidents of cowardice and of error .of judgment<br />
that must be inseparable from a castrophe of the Titanic nature.<br />
In contrast to the heroic words of Captain Smith, megaphoned<br />
through the uproar when the first intimation of panic was observed<br />
"Be British, my men," comes the explanation of J. Bruce Ismay,.<br />
chairman of the board of directors of the White Star line, a survivor,,<br />
as tcTwhy he is one of those ashore when so many of the<br />
regular-passenger- s<br />
of the linerwent to a watery grave. "A boat was being:<br />
lowered. It was half empty, and I got into it," he says.<br />
HELD BACK BY EBVOLVEBS.<br />
That thero was room in tho Ufoboats for more than the number saved, as<br />
intimated by tho statement of Chairman Ismay, is tho charge made by Mrst<br />
Emil Taussig, who declares that her husband and Henry Harris, tho theatrical,<br />
magnate, wero prevented from entering tho boat in which sho was placed, although<br />
it was not filled. Her husband and Harris, sho says, were held Daofc<br />
at tho points of revolvers, in tho hands of ship's officers.<br />
DESOLATE BRIDES.<br />
Aboard tho Titanic when sho sailed from Liverpool woro twenty-on- o couples<br />

Widoner, who declares that sho saw 'one of the officers of tho linor blow onte<br />

VESSEL BROKE IN TWO.<br />
Just boforo thor fatal plungo of tho liner, say tho eyewitnesses, the great-steupended<br />
and tho Titanic hung for several minutes with three hundred t eot-o- f<br />
her bulk in tho air, her lights blazing far abovo tho lovel of tho water into-whichor<br />
bowB wero buried. Thon, with "a great ronding, tho mammoth halt-buckland<br />
tho Titanic crumpled in the middle and sank. TJp to tho timo l<br />
upended, tho ship's band continued to play In the saloon.""<br />
Captain Rostron, of tho Carpathia, in a statement given out yesterdajr<br />
beforo his vessel sailed, praised tho pluck of tho women rescued by his crow.<br />
Despito tho heartrending incidents of tho wreck, with their sons and husband<br />
drowning before thoir eyes, and tho hardships experienced during thoso dreadful<br />
hours when they woro afloat in tho lifeboats, waiting for help to roach .thenv<br />
tho women displayed the greatest herdlsm.<br />
Beforo tho special committee of tho senate, which is hero holding an investigation<br />
into tho causes responsible for tho record catastrophe, Captain<br />
Rostron told a dramatic tale yesterday morning. The first intimation aboird<br />
tho Carpathia of tho torriblo happenings nearby camo at thirty-fiv- o minntc<br />
after midriight, when tho distress call of tho Titanic wireless operator was<br />
picked up. As soon as he could answer tho call and learn tho exact location<br />
of tho foundering liner, ho ordered full steam ahead and mado direct for the<br />
spot. Beforo the Carpathia reached the scene of tho wreck, the Titanic had.<br />
disappeared. Tho first 'boatload of survivors were taken aboard at ten minutes-aftefour<br />
Surfday morning. Tho last lifeboat was picked up four hours later,<br />
later, after which the Carpathia cruised up and down in search of other possible<br />
survivors.<br />
As his vessel passed through tho waters which bad just closed over sixteen<br />
hundred pcoplo, an Episcopal clergyman, ono of his passengers, recited th<br />
words of the burial service, in the prayers of which the hundreds aboard tli<br />
Carpathia joined.<br />
Captain Smith of the Titanic played the hero during the awful disaster,<br />
according to the stories told by tho survivors yesterday. He died gallantly-afte- r<br />
placing all the women in tho boats except those who refused to leave their<br />
husbands.<br />
An impending panic was averted by Captain Smith's terso megaphoned!<br />
command: "Bo British, my men!"<br />
Col. Archibald Oracle was one of tho last to leave tho ship aa she tooif<br />
her final plunge. Just as sho was disappearing he dived from her side and<br />
swam to ono of the rafts whore some twenty others stood fon-fou- r<br />
hours, not daring to movo for fear of capsizing. i<br />
All of thorn repeated tho Lord's prayer in unison. This they did over and!<br />
over again,<br />
Maj. Archie Butt, military aid to President Taft, helped a woman friend<br />
Into a boat, tucked blankets around her, asked her to give bis regards to Ms<br />
frionds, and then stepped back on the Titanic. It was the last seen of th<br />

WASHINGTON, April 20. Tho Hydrographlc Offico yesterday issued Instructions<br />
shifting tho lane for ocean liners plying between New York and<br />
Boston and European ports ono hundred and eighty miles south of the former<br />
regultr route. This adds a few miles to the course, but misses the wont or<br />
the fogs.<br />
Senator Isidor Rayner of Maryland yesterday attacked J. Bruce Isany,<br />
chairman of the White Star line. He declared that Captain Smith was undoubtedly<br />
acting under the orders of Ismay in speeding up his engines to mate<br />
a record trip for the Titanic on her disastrous maiden voyage.<br />
NEW YORK, April 10. The senate conunltteo investigating the TiUnlff<br />
dlsaster today summoned J. Bruce Ismay before it to testify as to the wreck.<br />
Ismay was visibly nervous under the questioning of the committee as to<br />
the facts of the tragedy. He wag asked as to the circumstances under whlcfe<br />
he himself left tho Titanic and whispered that a boat was being lowered, half-empt- y,<br />
and he got into it. He said he will court the fullest inquiry and declares<br />
he has nothing to conceal. Ho gave the details of the voyage.<br />
Ismay said that the Titanic 'a engines were designed to run eighty<br />
rovola-tio- ns<br />
and were only turning seventy-fiv- e at the time of the crash. The Titanic<br />
carried gear for sixty boats, but only twenty boats were actually on board,<br />
which, Ismay testified, fulfilled the law.<br />
Captain Rostron of the Carpathia, which picked up hundreds of survivors<br />
of the disaster, followed Mr. Ismay on the stand.<br />
In statements today the Whito Star company disclaimed responsibility for<br />
the wreck, declaring it an "act of God."<br />
A fresh sensation occurred today when it was learned that the surviving'<br />
members of the crew hod been smuggled off the Carpathia and held incommunicado<br />
beforo the vessel cam to New York. The crew Will sail soon for Europe.<br />
The surviving officers will testify before the senate investigation committee.<br />
Many survivors, in hospitals from the shock, are improving.

Roosevelt Must Carry<br />
Every Big Delegation:<br />
for Chance.<br />
President Taft, or any other candidate,<br />
requires 540 dolcgntes in tho coming<br />
national convention to secure nomination-<br />
To date, according to tho best<br />
figures available, tho President has<br />
pledged to his support 3G8 delegates;<br />
Colonel Booaovclt has 189; Senator<br />
thirty-six- , nud Texas with forty.<br />
Of tho 483 delegates yet to be chosen<br />
President Taft must get 151 to have a<br />
majority over all others, while Colonel<br />
Boosovelt must securo 351, or nearly"<br />
twice as many more than ho already<br />
has. It is conceded that the President<br />
will cany tho conventions in Arkansas,<br />
Maryland, North Carolina and West<br />
Virginia, giving him a total to count<br />
upon from theso States of seventy-fou- r<br />
and leaving tlio number he has to fight<br />
or in the Northern and Western States<br />
to fewer than e'ghty.<br />
La Follotto's Bunch.<br />
Senator La Folletto will undoubtedly<br />
securo some of the California delegates<br />
and will cut into Roosevelt's<br />
strength in tho other western States.<br />
It is inconceivable now that tho<br />
will have any prospect for the<br />
nomination, and his delegations will be<br />
wnng 'cither tb Taft or to Roosevelt<br />
after the first ballot, if there be any<br />
necessity for more than one. At the<br />
resent timo it seems probable that La<br />
f'ollette will support Taft rather than<br />
Roosevelt, and in any close contest tho<br />
majority of whatever La Toilette<br />
may-eecur- o<br />
in tho way of delegates can bo<br />

ASSAILANT ALONE<br />
Omacki Suehiro is the blind daughter<br />
of a Japanese mill workeT on tho<br />
Kcalia plantation, Kauai, soventeen,<br />
pretty and, in spito of her afliction,<br />
well able to take care of herself. A<br />
liitlo mora than a week ago she was<br />

by a<br />
certain Korean gambler and general<br />

and who is now bound over for investigation<br />
by the grand jury.<br />
While Omachi was working in tho<br />
washhouso adjacent to tho Japanese<br />
quarters, Tuesday, April 0, th,o Korean<br />
crept up behind her and seized her<br />
around tho waist. Thu girl, handicapped<br />
by her blindness, struggled violent-l- y<br />
to free herself and, in spitd of tho<br />
assailant's threat that ho would kill her<br />
with, a knifeif. she opposed him, sho<br />
overpowerod him for a moment, broko<br />
away and fled to tho house. Thoro ho<br />
overtook her and forced her into a<br />

virtue of her familiarity with the<br />
room fied to the lanai and took Tefuge<br />

HANDS ACROSS THE SEA.<br />
INTERPRETER FOR RUSSIANS<br />
FAILS TO TALK LANGUAGE<br />
Thirty-Si- x Cossack Immigrants Held a Month,<br />
Because No One Could Understand Their<br />
ComplaintsCostly Mistake.<br />
Thirty-si- x Russians sat, impatient for<br />
a month or more becauso a man who<br />
thought ho could talk Bussian and<br />
whom tho immigration authorities<br />
could talk Russian was not fitted<br />
to act as interpreter. During that time<br />
tho local representatives of tho federal<br />
government were paying tho expenses of<br />
these thirty-si- x people at the immigration<br />
station, paying tho salaries of several<br />
men to deal with them and cabling<br />
to Washington in their dilemma. This<br />
is the story which tho immigrants told<br />
yesterday through an Interpreter who<br />
could speak their language and understand<br />
their complaints.<br />
Thero is a certain limit to oven Bussian<br />
patience and there are certain features<br />
of western immigration methods<br />
which do not appeal strongly to the<br />
little colony of newcomers from Siberia<br />
who were recently released from, tho<br />
federal immigration station. Theso people<br />
have decided that so far as expressing<br />
indignation, wrath and sorrow<br />
in Honolulu is concerned Bussian is<br />
about as useful ns Hittite. Tho story<br />
they tell of their trials in making themselves<br />
understood, in telling how they<br />
camo hero and why they came, explains<br />
thoir exasperation.<br />
It seems that the man who was assigned<br />
tho work of interpreting tho<br />
fluent Russian of "these Cossacks, who<br />
had already suffered much en route,<br />
was a Polo who had understood Russian<br />
at somo remote period, who believed<br />
that ho still had a grip on the intricacies<br />
of the sister language and who<br />
decided to have a shot at it anyway.<br />
Of course tho immigration people did<br />
not know whether ho was talking<br />
Polish, Slavok. Lithuanian, Russian or<br />
Servian. It all sounds alike and it all<br />
sounds equally bad, hut the poor Russians<br />
soon learned that whatever be was<br />
talking it was not Russian. In soma<br />
fashion they understood his questions,<br />
but they soon saw that he did not understand<br />
their nnswers. This brave<br />
boy went through with it just the samo<br />
and said tho things that sounded likely<br />
and fitting.<br />
Sad Misunderstanding.<br />
It was believed that tho thirty-si- x<br />
pcoplo who came over hero on tho Nilo<br />
after skipping out of Russia without<br />
bidding an official farewell, wero assisted<br />
or contract laborers and while<br />
they were being investigated tho whole<br />
party just had to sit about and wonder<br />
what it was all about, for it was not<br />
until yesterday thnt they understood<br />
why they bad been held and what was<br />
wanted of them. The interpreter<br />
had never been able to tell them<br />
and they are by no means a stupid<br />
party. Now that they are in tho territorial<br />
hands and have had an opportunity<br />
to bear and speak their own language<br />
their trouble are evaporating<br />
and tho whole party will ho off to Maui<br />
or Hawaii within a week.<br />
According to their account of thoir<br />
journoy and tho trials en voyage, the<br />
whole party had to leave the Czar's<br />
empire without passports, becauso no<br />
more are being issued, and every man<br />
woman and child of them is liable to<br />
five years imprisonment ir iioy return.<br />
Ono lad was a soldier and deserted to<br />
join tho party, several of tho boys are<br />
liable for military servico and would<br />
bo dealt with in summary fashion if<br />
they returned. Thoy aro all just a<br />
trifle nervous about their status hero<br />
and are not quite suro that the big pi)v<br />
of the Russian bear cannot reach them<br />
in Hawaii<br />
Looted as Well.<br />
Arrangements were made to "bring<br />
QqjcV?<br />
them to Honolulu through a Russian<br />
agent in tho Far East. It nppcars that<br />
this gentleman undertook to relievo<br />
them of all tho spare change thoy had<br />
about them after they had paid their<br />
legitimate expenses and made a fine<br />
haul by takincr from them sums rauc- -<br />
ing from ten to forty dollars, so that<br />
when thoy landed hero every ono of<br />
them was penniless. This was, of<br />
course, depressing, and then whon thoy<br />
arrived hero and thaMn-vestigatio- went through n<br />
conducted through the medium<br />
of their friend tho "interpreter,"<br />
thoy were not encouraged.<br />
Thoy aro all Cossacks, most of thorn<br />
skilled laborers of one sort or another,<br />
and there is scarcoly ono of them who<br />
did not sacrifice land, property, household<br />
goods and other possessions to<br />
come hero. Abovo all things thoy aro<br />
going to bo American citizens at once,<br />
if possible, and, if not at onco, just<br />
as soon as it can bo arranged. This<br />
eagorness was expressed to Doctor<br />
Clark a day or so ago, through Interpreter<br />
Swadcn, who, by tho way. caiialk<br />
Russian, and yesterday tho papers upon<br />
nuicu rue requirements ror citizenship<br />
wero stipulated woro distributed among<br />
them. Every boy in the party had to<br />
have ono of these papers and each and<br />
every ono had a scoro of questions to<br />
ask. In addition every youngster wants<br />
to know how soon ho or sho will bo<br />
safely ensconced in school, learning 'the<br />
marvelous English language<br />
Somo of them aro machinists, others<br />
arc skilled tradesmen nnd farmers. Ono<br />
littlo fellow, Gabriel Seroda by name,<br />
is a sculptor, a stonccuttor, an engraver<br />
and much besides. In tho absence of<br />
tools ho is amusing himself cutting designs<br />
on drinking glasses with a blunt<br />
necdlo as his only implement nnd has<br />
done somo remarkably good work.<br />

tho different lines which call at Honolulu.<br />
President Ctignoux had a conference<br />
with several members of tho .as-<br />
sociation yesterday concerning the<br />
mat-tor- ,<br />
and it was decided thnt tho organization<br />
had a right to make such in<br />
quiries. Lotters will be addressed to<br />
tho various companies, and will form<br />
tho basis of a discussion at a future<br />
mooting of tho association.<br />
"In tho first place," said President<br />
GignoiiT yosterdny, ,"J bellevo it is<br />
fully within our province to make an<br />
investigation of this subject, ns a<br />
mat-to- r<br />

Hawaiian Boatmen Best,<br />
"As far nR I havo been ablo to learn<br />
tho Inter-Islan- d company is well<br />
equipped with boats and nbovo all has<br />
tho most expert men in the world u<br />

ho excelled in the handling of ship's<br />
boats, particularly in bringing them<br />
through tho surf ns they nro rcquirod<br />
to do in so many pnrts of the Islonds. "<br />
President Gignoux rofers also to the<br />
fact that tho 'United States government<br />
appears to be one of tho most llagrnnt<br />
violators of its own rules.<br />
"If a disaster should overtnko ono<br />
of our transports at sen hundreds of<br />
men, women nnd children would lose<br />
their lives. The transports nro poorly<br />
equipped as to boats. They curry<br />
about 1000 people nt times, and tho<br />
boats aro not sufficient to cnTry n<br />
fourth of that number. Tho govern- -<br />

In tow of tho tug Hercules tho groat<br />
gate for tho Pearl Harbor drydock loft<br />
San Francisco yesterday for Honolulu,<br />
says a cablo dispatch. Tho gato was<br />
constructed by tho Union Iron Works<br />
of San Francisco and is tho largest<br />
structure of tho kind over built on the<br />
Pacific Coast. Tho cost of bringing it<br />
hero will be in tho neighborhood oi<br />
$15,000.<br />
Tho tug will take tho caisson directly<br />
into Pearl Harbor, whero it will be<br />
hold until tho dock work is completed<br />
hy tho San Francisco Bridgo Company.<br />
Tho trip may .tako about ton, er possibly,<br />
twolve days.<br />
Tho gate was contracted for delivery<br />
this spring, it being planned to havo it<br />
ready sovcral months in advance of tho<br />
completion of tho last section of tho<br />
dock. Owing to tho mnny difficulties<br />
encountered by tho engineers in holding<br />
tho bottom of tho excavation down,<br />
nnd tho possibility that thero will bo an<br />
unusual delay becauso of tho discovery<br />
of springs at tho bottom, the gato may<br />
not bo used for a year and n half.<br />
Tho caisson is 125 feet 4',4 inches<br />
in length, 43 feet 0 inches in height,<br />
and will havo a width of fifteen feet<br />
on tho upper deck and twenty feet nt<br />
tho stringers. Tho contract prico was<br />
$147,000 with dolivcry at Pearl Harbor,<br />
so that tho cost of transportation falls<br />
to tho Union Iron Works.<br />
The big gato is equipped with ten<br />
thirty.inch valves nnd two twenty-inc- h<br />
valves. Each vnlvo will bo operutcd<br />
by an independent electric motor, Tho<br />
valves are to bo used for filling the<br />
dock. Under ordinary circumstances<br />
only a few of them will bo used nt one<br />
time. In cubo of emergency, whore it<br />
is desired to fill tho dock rnpdlly, all<br />
tho valves can bo operated at tho same<br />
time.<br />

Roosovclt is possibly ono of tlio illustrations t)f autosuggestion of our<br />
day and generation. Ho appears to move and think and have his being almost<br />
wholly ns a result of ono or another nutoimpulsc, to which, ltowover, he gives<br />
another name.<br />
His latest impulse of that sort he calls a "demand from tho people that I<br />
offer myself aB a candidnto for the presidency." An n matter of fact tho<br />
demand, If there bo any such thing, comes directly from Oyster Hay, as n<br />
glanco nt tho totaled results of tho presidential primaries held to date, show<br />
plainly enough. With tlirco hundred nnd slxty-sovc- n delegates pledged for<br />
tho President and ono hundred and oiglity-ninc- , or thereabouts pledged for<br />
Roosevelt it is easy to see where tho "people's call" Comes in, nnd from<br />
whence it comes.<br />
- Recently Colonel Roosevelt, is reported to have carried several Stntes, by<br />
common consent previously given to Mr. Taft. This docs not necessarily mean<br />
that tho people of those States wcro for tho Colonel as against Taft. Mr. Taft<br />
is not popular with tho machino politicians of tho Nation, nnd his calm, states-manlik- o<br />
conduct in sovcral crises has mado him many of thoso enemies which<br />
every public man wnnta ns n testimonial to his own fitness to hold the trust<br />
of tho people. Such "victories" then ns tho results of the primaries in Pennsylvania<br />
aro to bo seriously discounted when considering their effect on tho<br />
final count--o- f delegates. Pennsylvania was a surprise, but when we consider<br />
what politics in Pennsylvania has been for tho last decade, when we remember<br />
it was said of Philadelphia, "Sho is corrupt and content," the triumph of tho<br />
Hoosovclt forces ceases to havo significance, and assumes its real Importance<br />
in tho general political scheme.<br />
Summing it nil up, it is ovidont that formor President Roosevelt is cither<br />
d or deceiving. There is no general cnll for him to sit in tho White<br />
House for another torm, and tho sooner tho autosuggestion from which ho<br />
appears to bo suffering leaves him, nnd ho settles down in his nicho in Th(o<br />
Ontlook office tho better it will bo for him, for tho Republican party and the<br />
Nation as a whole.<br />
THE FIELD REPORT.<br />
The Field report of the administrative organization of tho city and county<br />
has been printed in book form nnd circulated by tho chamber of commerce,<br />
but tho graphic charts, a most important feature, havo been omitted. Tho<br />
report, as a whole, has received much publicity, but the chartB, in which<br />
the various phases of tho administration nro clearly visualized, havo not been<br />
published.<br />
Although comparative tables and statistical data show certain results to<br />
those who are conversant with financial matters generally, they represent only<br />
aggregations of figures to the ordinary man. Tho graphic charts In tho Field<br />
report are so comprehensivo that tho exact condition of tho city's activities<br />
can be seen at n glance and will bo readily understood by all, as thoy en<br />
discussion by intelligently presenting facts. Now that tho grnphic charts<br />
submitted with tho l'icfd report havo not been made public, they should bo<br />
placed on exhibition by tho chamber of commerce, forming the nucleus of a<br />
local "Budget Exhibit," nnd giving the taxpayors an opportunity to unmis<br />
takably read tho writing on the wall.<br />
Such exhibits ebfowliero stimulate public interest in municipal problems<br />
and encourage the administration in a record for efficiency and progress. Tho<br />
above suggestion should bo acted upon, in view of the enterprise nlready shiwn<br />
by the chamber' in first engaging the services of n municipal export to make<br />
a constructive criticism of our local affairs.<br />

HOW IIILO GOT<br />
THE SAD NEWS<br />
CONVENTION DELEGATES TOLD<br />
HOW IT ALL HAPPENED<br />
AUSTIN JUMPED ON.<br />
(Mall Special to Tho Advertiser.)<br />
IIILO, April ID. It was a sad bunch<br />
of politicians which returned to Hilo<br />
last Wednesday after having nttonded<br />
tho Republican and the Democratic conventions.<br />
Tho Republicans of whom<br />
eight from Hilo ntad nine from Walnkoa<br />
were Kuliio men, felt tho defeat of<br />
their cnuso bitterly. Thoy charged it<br />
openly to unfair methods used by tho<br />
Frcar faction. Tlio Democrats had gono<br />
to their convention with the hopo that<br />
thoy might stavo off tho nomination of<br />
a Delegate to Congress, and in this mission<br />
thoy had been unsuccessful. Tholr<br />
sorrow was, howovcr, greatly tempered<br />
by tho opculy expressed hopo that tho<br />
outcomo of tho Republican convention<br />
will carry McCandlcss to victory.<br />
Austin tho Goat<br />
Tlio Republican delegation was very<br />
bitter against Austin, who was denounced<br />
as a traitor. Desha, Osorio,<br />
Roso and others denounced him in bit-to- r<br />
terms.<br />
Tho fact that Austin voted for Frenr,<br />
after .having declared many times that<br />
ho would not do so, is used ns a basis<br />
tor a prophecy that his political grave<br />
hns been dug.<br />
"Tho Hawaii Kuliio delegates stood<br />
together, nnd nothing could buy or AUTO BUCKS TIES<br />
coerco them. They were compared with<br />
tno rocK or uiornltar," said JJcsha.<br />
"Only ono delegate deserted; I suppose<br />
you nave lieniu wno it was,<br />
AND<br />
Austin."<br />
SPILLS OUT<br />
Open Ballot Did It.<br />
Tlio other delegates corroborate the<br />
statement that Austin,<br />
ONE PASSENGER<br />
from' tho mo<br />
ment no Jandca in Honolulu, kept away<br />
from tho Kuliio delegation. They quoto<br />
him as Eaying that ho favored Kuhio<br />
ps2-l- L<br />
learn what Kuhio would do. DtoAba<br />
said on tho day of his return Ifcfct ho<br />
thought that he would resign from hb<br />
LtioislUon as Delegate to Congress. Tbea<br />
tno uoveraor wouiu nave to can a special<br />
election to get tho office filled lor<br />
tho rest of the term, nnd then Kuhio<br />
would run again for the office in order<br />
to show that his defeat at the convention<br />
did not mean that ho was nut still<br />
the favorite of the people.<br />
"I know that tho Frcni men nro<br />
nfraid that Kuhio- - may do just that,"<br />
said Desha. "For J. P. Cooko begged<br />
me to send a messaco tb Kuhio. nsltinu<br />
him not to resign, nnd John Oolburn<br />
told me thnt Cooko had placed his arms<br />
around his shouldor nnd had begged<br />
him to tend such a message to Kuhlo."<br />
Desha said that many Kuhio mon<br />
had expressed their intention of leaving<br />
gtho Republican party, but, ho did<br />
not know how much value to attach to<br />
these statements. Ho would say nothing<br />
in regard to what would bo tho<br />
notion of himself and tho rest of Kuhio<br />
's friends. They were now waiting<br />
to hear from Kuhio. Ilo had nothing<br />
to say at present.<br />
The delegates also brought homo tho<br />
report that A. M. Cabrinha and Moir<br />
had originally, beforo tho primaries,<br />
nrrnnged a littlo dicker whereby<br />
was to givo tho Frcar ticket<br />
his support in cxehnngo for tho position<br />
ns nltcrnnto to Qhicngo. Tho report<br />
had it furthor that Cabrinha<br />
could have had this position, had ho<br />
not decided, when it enmo to tho battle,<br />
to stick by his delegation, which<br />
he did. whereupon Carlsmith was chosen,<br />
lie voted for Moir, but cxplainod<br />
to his delegation that ho had promised<br />
Moir to do so, as ho believed at tho<br />
time that ho could vote for two men<br />
from Hawaii, namely both Moir and<br />
Holstein. He really proferrcd tho<br />
latter.<br />
ASK THE CHILDREN TO HELP.<br />
Now is the time for all good men and women and children to como to<br />
tho aid of tho city. This parnphraso of that well known lino means that<br />
Spring has como and tho moment for cleaning up tho streets and yards of the<br />
city has arrived. Possibly no other city in tho world is to dependent upon<br />
its beauty for its growth ns is this of ours, and certain ono would fare far<br />
beforo finding one with the possibilities for making itself beautiful that Honolulu<br />
neglects. Cleaning up, with tho memory of tho mosquito campaign<br />
Mill vivid, should bo a task of tho entire community. If each citizen and<br />
each 'citiren's wifo and children, will sco to it that tho premises they occupy<br />
are Kept clean, there will bo precious little left for tho city government to do,<br />
and that littlo might be done by following the plan recently adopted in tho<br />
national capital.<br />
Horo is a plan they havo set afoot in Washington, D. C, a plan of co- -'<br />
operation between tho health board nnd tho school children and teachers in<br />
tho city, and it is a plan that ought to work here as well as they believe it<br />
will there. There aro 51,000 school children in tho city of Washington, and<br />
by orgnnired and concerted effort on tho part of tho educational authorities<br />
and the board of health in that city, theso children nro all to assist in tho<br />
cleaning up of that city.<br />
It will bo tho duty of tho children to bo obscrvnnt in their respective<br />
neighborhoods, nnd to tnko note of premises that aro untidy or unsanitary.<br />
Having observed these conditions, the children report them to their teachers<br />
and principals; the information is gathered from tho schools by tho health<br />
board and tho rest is simple enough. It looks like a good and effective plan.<br />
It is one that interests the youth in municipal cleanliness, which is a matter<br />
of no mean importance in itself, and without expense or trouble it affords a<br />
ourvey of tho city which enables tho proper authorities to get the cleaning<br />
business going in good shape.<br />

ii. DEMOCRATS AND OUR NAVY.<br />
For many years tho rank and filo of tho Democratic party has in the<br />
matter of national defence never been so misrepresented as it is today by<br />
its leaders in tho houso of roprcsontatives.<br />
During its long minority it was sound to the core. Indeed, no appropriations<br />
for two or four or more battleships was ever authorized except by tho<br />
aid of Democrats. As Representative Swngnr Shorloy, of Kentucky, so earnestly<br />
declared beforo tho navy league, thero has heon no timo during this minority<br />
when enou'gh opposition on tho sido of tho Republicans if united with tho<br />
solid vote of tho Democrats, could not havo defeated any naval bill.<br />
It is not hazardous, then, to assort that Sjeaker Clark, Mr, Underwood<br />
and others of lessor caliber now dominating the houso aro not carrying out<br />
tho wishes nor reaffirming tho traditions of this grcnt historic party. Neithor<br />
hao the Jack-th- c to tho women's colleges, should ascertain it as soon ns possible. If thcro is<br />
nnu we can it, be no worry. on tho otlier change of fact<br />
hand thcro is ground made the who by John T. Moir tho of Ha'<br />
is one of tho best of todny, wo should cortamly know it and it<br />
as soon maybe. Wo do not send our sons and daughters to universities<br />
and colleges to bo turned into patterns of social perfection, but to fit them<br />
to meet and bulvo tho problems of the latter-day<br />
existence, growing moro and<br />
more exacting as the years go by.<br />
Ono of tho first questions to bo asked then, is what wo mean when wo say<br />
wo want our young men and yong women to bo educated, want them to have a<br />
collego education. That we want them trained in tho niceties of deportment<br />
goes without saying. But that, surely, is not the end all and be all--<br />
Hipper methods of tho caucus presided over by Mr. Burleson,<br />
of Texas, nnd crowded with shanghnied members that dodged n rollcall been<br />
approved by the party, so far ns this may bo gauged by tho patriotic protests<br />
of the Democratic press. t.<br />
The decision not to provide battleships for the first timo makes naval<br />
increase a strict party measure! and introduces tho lamentable feature that<br />
national defence has nt last fallen into the mire of unreasoning partisanship.<br />
Even a tyro must recognize that this is poor politics becauso of tho ammunition<br />
furnished the enemy nnd from tho popular resentment excited. It is a<br />
'boomerang confession that tho claims of fictitious economy, in tho light of<br />
tho Sherwood seventy millions for unearned pensions, are superior to national<br />
protection.<br />
of a col-leg- at heart, but that ho was compelled to<br />
nothing in tlicm, prove thcro necu It on account the that<br />
for tho allegations by novelist, the way is head tho<br />
then romovo<br />
must<br />
ns<br />
o<br />
course. Other things should tako precedence. Such things for instance<br />
as a broad and sufficient knowledge of the master movements of their generation,<br />
and a thorough grounding in tho history and fundamental principles of<br />
nil such movements.<br />
Without attacking the colleges of today or of tho past, it seems certain<br />
thnt some of tho most necessary movements of tho present havo been hampered,<br />
because tho college men of the nation stood solidly in the way, unablo to seo<br />
tho real meaning of the proposed change. Indeed that is one of tho chief<br />
causes for complaint which tho writer of the beforo mentioned novel has against<br />
the colleges. Ho says, and ho puts his caso strongly, that the universities of<br />
America fail to teach men nnd women to think for themselves. In brief his<br />
contention is that the collegians are forced into a mental rut out of which they<br />
find it almost impossible to escapo in after life. If this bo true our professors<br />
hnvo fallen a long way from tho standard of their calling.<br />

SUPPRESSING THE NEWS.<br />
Vico President Franklin, yesterday admitted, that in his capacity as an<br />
officer of the International Mercantile1 Marine that he bad lied to the press<br />
and the public about tho wreck of tho White Star liner Titanic. This is but<br />
another instanco of a cuBtom all too prevalent with officials in tho position in<br />
which Mr. Franklin found himself. He gave as his reason for tiTo false state-meat- s<br />
ho uttered to tho reporters and tho friends and relatives of tho passen<br />
gcrs on board the Titanic, that ho wanted to "avoid needless alarm."<br />
Furthermore, whiln ho. wim Inllinir ltiQ fltnrv in thfl . flnnntn . invnstirfntinrf pnill.<br />
mitteo in Washington, tno wireless mossago sent to tlio captain of tne Uetlric<br />
by J. Bruce Ismay, ordoring that ship to carry away tho survivoTB" of tho Titanic,<br />
was in tho hands of the committee', waiting to be read. In tho face of this<br />
Franklin declared that no effort had been made to isolnto tho crow of tho<br />
Titanic or prevent its survivors from being drawn into tho investigation.<br />
Surely Mr. Franklin assumes too much responsibility, even if ho is vico<br />
president of tho International Marine. Surely tho public has the right of tho<br />
ono who pays the bills, to know tho details, tho causes and tho results of such<br />
a catastrophe as destroyed tho Titanic. Such attempts to conceal and befog<br />
tho issues as havo been mado by Ismay nnd Franklin can do nothing but harm<br />
to tho lino they pretend to represent. Their nttitudo is that of Vanderbilt<br />
when ho uttered his famous "public bo damned" phrase.<br />
Tho public has been damned too long, nnd is getting tired of it. It wants<br />
to know why it was thnt tho finest ship in tho world was piled upon an iceberg.<br />
It wants to know who was responsible for tho wreck, if any ono "was, and above<br />
all it wants to know such details of tho awful nffair, as may show how similar<br />
disasters can bo avoided in tho future. This tho public has a right to demand<br />
nnd does demand. America is interested vitnlly in tho Titanic wreck and<br />
tho consequences that mny como from it, nnd so is Great Britain. It is worse<br />
than folly for tho men in authority to nttempt concealment. Entirely apart<br />
from tho legitimate dcslro of all newspapers to print tho news, thoy have, as<br />
representatives of the public, tho right to tho facts of any caso which may<br />
affect the people. To hold othenviso, as so many officials aro prone to do, is<br />
to place oneself on tho sido of thoso who would hide their deeds because thoy<br />
aro ovil.<br />

Mrs Sherman pays tribute to tho British sciuiuln's sturdy char- -<br />
actor and attrnctlvo personality in tho highest terms, and incidentally<br />
' recounts much that is interesting of tho heroic master,<br />
"Ho was a man in a class by himself," said sho yesterday, "nnd<br />
tho White Star Hue for many years gave him command of the nowest<br />
ships and of courso tho largest. Ho counted among his friends dozens<br />
of tho best known Americans, many of whom would cross the Atlantic<br />
every yenr in whatever ship ho commanded, spond their Eummors<br />
abroad and return with him, nnd him only, in tho fall. Ono man<br />
boasted crossing muro than twenty-on- o consecutive years with him,<br />
Captain Smith was ccuinl. kind hearted and devoted to his frlonds.<br />
Ho was a loyal Briton and' duty 'was always foromost with hint."<br />
Ono of Captain Smith's ambitions, according to Mrs. Sherman, wns<br />
to cross tho Atlantic in a thousand-foo- t steamer. Tho Titnnio wns<br />
eight hundred and eighty-tw- o feet long. The Sherman's met tho vot- -<br />

convicted of larceny, this child of<br />
Tqrtuuo Thursday managed to havo a<br />
jseutcu.ee of a month's imprisonment,<br />
lor larpeny, set nside, and to navo a<br />
"fiiic'of$S(J imposed in its place. Nielsen<br />
slopped out in the Manna Koa April<br />
12, nud.so well was ho hidden that tho<br />
'polk'o bfMuui failed to locato him on<br />
board. "3Io was, however, apprehended<br />
by thej Honolulu police, and was<br />
broughOback to Hllo last weok by<br />
Sheriff ilarrott. Nielsen appeared bo-fo-<br />
Juflgo "Wise Wednesday afternoon,<br />
charged" with larceny' and with contempt<br />
.of court.<br />
JulhV'Augustino stated that Niolson<br />
had asfasil him to let him seo a ten<br />
dollar'-gol- pieco of tho new issue.<br />
Julio ijitl so, whereupon Nielsen put it<br />
in liis packet and walked otf. As ho<br />
did'notr return,, Julio finally realized<br />
that this was not a joko, as ho had at<br />
flrst jnpposcd, and set out to find<br />
had him arrestedt A hack-drivand<br />
a bootblack corroborated<br />
Julio's story.<br />
Nielsen's Yarn.<br />
Nielsen told a wonderful yarn, no<br />
claimed that Julio had aBlccd him somo<br />
timo previously to teach him to run an<br />
automobile, and Niolsen had Bald that<br />
ho would do so for a tuition fee of<br />
$10. This Julio admitted. On this<br />
bases Nielsen built up a lengthy story.<br />
Ho said that tho $10 ho took was his<br />
tuition fee, that ho pocketed it and<br />
thanked Julio for it, whproupon ho had<br />
gono to get a machlno in which to take<br />
Julio Out riding. Later ho said that ho<br />
had intended to give Julio back tho<br />
monoy. On Nielsen<br />
admitted that ho had dodged Julio all<br />
over town. Ho then said that ho had<br />
gono to got $10 from a friendly railroad<br />
employo in order to repay Julio.<br />
When asked what had becomo of tho<br />
original ten spot, ho claimed that ho<br />
Had hidden it under tho front scat of<br />
tho Canario machine, fearing that if ho<br />
kept it ' on him, Julio might tako it<br />
away from him. When ho was so entangled<br />
in his statements thnt no other<br />
way seemed open, Nielsen said that it<br />
was all a josh, nnyhow.<br />
Tho trip to Honolulu was also "ox-plaineby<br />
Nielsen.<br />
"Thoy liad mo pinchod on tho bench<br />
'whrrant," lie- - said. "So I thought I<br />
would tako a pleasure trip to Honolulu<br />
for a couple of days. I thought I was<br />
going to get stung, so I thought I<br />
go to' my mother to got somo<br />
monoy,"<br />
Judge Wise fined him $10 on tho contempt<br />
ehargo and imprisonment for a<br />
month on tho larceny charge. And<br />
then came the great surprise.<br />
Tho prisoner said ho did not want to<br />
go ia jail. And tho court agreed to<br />
set nside tho sentenco, provided tho<br />
prosecution would recommend the<br />
change, Hcen wanted time for thought,<br />
so the matter wns continued until tho<br />
following morning. Tho following<br />
morning Hcen said that thero were<br />
pcvcrnl other parties complaining of<br />
Nielsen. Ho thought tho original<br />
ceiitonco wjib surprisingly lenient, and<br />
mlcht ns well stand.<br />
Jiulcre Wise nske'd NJelsen what bo<br />
tlioucht about it. He said he would<br />
rather be fined, so finod ho was, fifty<br />
dollars.<br />

Down into tho roll of history will go theso four short words, to live in<br />
Anglo-Saxo- n memories so long as heroism is honored. With Nelson's battlo<br />
motto: "England expects every mnn to do his duty," and tho dying words<br />
of Lawrence: "Don't give up tho ship," the heart-grippin- g words of tho hero<br />
of the Titanic will rank.<br />

last great fight at Trafalgar, but he did not know that death had marked him<br />
as its shining mark. IIo spolto tu animate his men into a victory lliat all<br />

It is a good politic:U prophecy that Link McCandless will beat Kuhio at<br />
tho polls this fall. McCandless has undoubtedly gained many Hawaiian supporters<br />
and just as undoubtedly ho will havo many haolo supporters against<br />
Kuhio. Umulrcds of those who Bupportod tho Republican candidate in tho last<br />
election will not support him again, oven though ho is ."doing his duty" and<br />
"striving for tho good o Hawaii" and tho other things we aro boing told<br />
about in nauseating editorials.<br />
Thero is one way, however, to save Kuhio from a beating and at tho samo<br />
time movent tho election of McCandless. and only ono way. That is for tho<br />
Republicans to put up another candidate, ono they will not havo to apologizo<br />
for, to coax along, to steer from morn to dewy ovo and, after election, "to<br />
put np with." Thero aro half a dozen good Republicans iu Hawaii vho<br />
can beat McCandless. Charley Rico is ono of them, as I havo ventured to<br />
cay before.<br />
Tho Bystander is not ono of thoso who beliovo that this Torritory has<br />
to depend upon Kuhio or any other ono man for its political salvation, neither<br />
am I ono of thoso who bclievo that tho Hawaiiau voters aro going to dcclaro<br />
a political revolution unless ono of thoir numbor is nominated for congress.<br />
I know plenty of Hawaiians who aro ready today to vote for McCandless<br />
against tho alii and I know a lot of others who would wclcomo tho opportunity<br />
of voting for somo Republican leader other than Kuhio.<br />
Anyhow, I think it is time that tho Republican loaders began to take<br />
come steps to beat McCandless, and they can not do it by running Kuhio<br />
against him.<br />

When a man has two babies, both at tho crawling, match-huntin- age,<br />
inclined to fall down holes, roll off porches, find tho sharp edged cutlery or<br />
drink the gasoline, and tho mother decides to desert tho homestead and return<br />
bo more,, tho progenitor usually finds his hands full to overflowing. Now,<br />
when this man happens to havo a job which requires ten hours of his undivided<br />
attention eery day and does not not enough to warrant tho employment<br />
of a caretaker for his homestead, what is ho going to do with tho youngsters?<br />
There is no iu Honolulu; ono can not inflict babies on<br />
tho neighbors every day although it may work for a timo.<br />
Such a case came up recently at Palnina. A Chinaman was deserted by<br />
his Hawaiian wife and left with two babies nt tho nursing ago on his hands.<br />
Ho is a day laborer and can not afford to pay for a houseltcepor, ao ovcry'<br />
day ho makes a trip up to tho settlement with a baby on each arm and asks<br />
if they hare found any means of helping him. Palama settlement would liko<br />
to have a day nursery, as many other institutions about town would if tho<br />
money were forthcoming, for this is only ono of a hundred Blmilar cases that<br />
could bo cited by tho.so who work among tho tenement dwellers. Tho worst<br />
of it is that in moit cases, tho father or mother decides that it is better to feed<br />
the baby than caro for it, so goes off to work and leaves tho youngster to'<br />
shift for itself. If tho treasured ono is nt tho bottom of a well when<br />
they return that is the hand of fate. Tho day nursory is now as .much a,<br />
part of community lifo on tho mainland as the school and 1 beliovo its addi<br />
tioa to Honolulu's benevolent equipment would forestall tho hand of fate<br />
in so many eases that if tho babies aro worth considering tho day nursery<br />
might also bo worth a little boosting,<br />

Many people here remember when tho steamer Rio went down off tho<br />
Golden Gate. She was an old tub, with no watertight compartments and sho<br />
vent down in about twenty minutes after sho struck a rock somewhero near<br />
tho Golden Gate no one known definitely yet just where sho Btruck. Probably<br />
no one will ever know. There was somo strenuous criticism of the steamer<br />
then. "In theso modern days, a vessel should not bo allowed to cross tho<br />
seas with passengers unless provided with water tight compartments," was<br />
tho commonest criticism. There was no wireless then morely a foghorn with<br />
ohieh the poor old Rio tried to summon help. Yet in proportion to tho numbor<br />
of people aboard sho saved in about twenty minutes as many people as tho<br />
great, modern, splendidly equipped Titnnic saved in several hours,<br />

It appears from current political discussion that Link McCandless is very<br />
glad over the defeat of tho Btrictly Kuhio forces, as against tho Taft and Froar<br />
forces, in tho Republican convention a week ago. A lot of Republicans may<br />
too beard to say that now they 'will voto tho Democratic ticket. Even on tho<br />
floor of the convention a shout was hoard, whon tho decisive voto was announced,<br />
of "Hurray for McCandless." Since then borne of tho rarty loaders<br />
havo dlarcd that tho popular voto is going to Link. If cablo tolls wore not<br />
to high, Kuhio would probably havo got a lot of messages from his own<br />
party men urging him to quit tho party because he lost out in tho convention,<br />
and to resign as a member of tho delegation to tho national convention becauso<br />
Trear and some plantation men were his associates.<br />
It seems to me that tho politicians who proposo this sort of desertion<br />
ef tbeir party have a very poor idea of the obligation undertaken when thoy<br />
beeoiue members of a convention and have no conception whatsoovor of party<br />
pibxlplcv To rter into a convention fight involves tho proportion that if<br />

Two proportions stand out nmid the local discussion of tbo awful Titanic'<br />
disaster. Ono Is tho appearance in innrllimo history of nome now heroes and<br />
ii new and greater record than over of Anglo-Saxo- calmnoss and courage under<br />
stress of danger, and tho other tho appalling failure of tho very latest of all<br />
modern safety appliances.<br />
As to tho first, peoplo rccnll the Burgoyno disaster, of which tho horrible<br />
features were tho fights between men' and women, passengers and crew, for<br />
plnccs in the lifeboats. Tbo Titanic, going down with her captain on tho brldgo,<br />
and her officers and crew on duly saving women and children, and a band playing<br />
to the Inst, presents n splendid contrast.<br />
As to tho other proposition, I find that Honolulu people, who havo nil<br />
traveled more or less, are wondering what tho modern "safe" steamers really<br />
are, Tho Titanic, it wan understood, had instruments which could detect the<br />
presence of nn iceberg somo miles away, registering its influence, through doli<br />
cnto instruments watched by those on the bridge. Is tho instrument a failure,<br />
or is somo officer who was on tho Titanic bridge liable to the awful charge of<br />
not watching it closely cnoughf Tho watertight compartments woro supposed<br />
to mnko this vessel safe from sinking. When emergency camo, it was found<br />
that they couldn't bo closed. Vliy woro they open nt allt Might it not have<br />
been foreseen that any shock big enough to endanger the vessel might throw<br />
out of gear the machinery by which these compartments were to be closed?<br />
The lifeboat proposition is another feature that Honolulnns aro discussing<br />
Wo arc nil nc'custoincd to seeing tho lifeboats, and watching tho fire drills which<br />
aro supposed to show how well trained the crews are to save paHsengera in case<br />
of, emergency. Yet hero is tho Titanic, tho very latest modern steamer of them<br />
nil, sinking after somo hours of emergency during which thero was certainly<br />
plenty of opportunity to plnce peoplo in lifeboats, and sixteen hundred people<br />
drowned. Tho proposition is tho more painful becauso rescue steamers woro on<br />
the way to tho scene, and just a fow hours was all that was needed to savo all<br />
on board. Tho wireless, which Pacific Mail Manager Schworin declined to put<br />
on his steamers becauso he said it was only a "toy of tho passengers" did its<br />
part. It had steamers racing to tho rescue from several directions. If watertight<br />
compartments and lifeboats had proved anything near efficient, thero need<br />
have been no heavy loss of lifo. If tho iceberg-detectin- g apparatus had done<br />
its work, thero need havo been no disaster at all.<br />

Sugar and Income Tax Legislation<br />
The most notable recent event in congress has bcon tho passage of the<br />
sugar and exciso tax bills. The first would mako sugar free. In this case tho<br />
government would lose nearly sixty million dollars in revenue from tho taxes<br />
paid to it by tbe importers of sugar. Such n proposition, affecting, as it would,<br />
our cano sugar industry, nnd tho beet sugar cultivation In seven States, togethor<br />
with its effect upon Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and tbo Philippines, should<br />
recoivo tho most careful treatment. To moke up tbo loss of revenue from<br />
sugnr, an income tax bill has been proposed. But tho Supremo Court has declared<br />
a general incomo tax unconstitutional, for lack of necessary apportionment<br />
among tho population, and tho States aro now considering tho acceptance<br />
or rejection of tho proposed sixteenth amendment to the Constitution, giving<br />
congress undisputed authority to imposo such a general tax. Tho Supreme<br />
Court, bowovor, has upheld tho existing corporation tax as constitutional.<br />
Hence Mr. Underwood, chairman of tho comxnittco on ways and means in the<br />
bouse of representatives, has conceived tho idea of extending its provisions,<br />
nud in this wny to obtain tho practical results of an income tax. law without<br />
violating tho Supremo Court's ruling, Ho proposed, nud the bouso has now<br />
adopted a tax, legislatively intended as nn oxciso, tho subject of tho tax to<br />
bo tho conduct of business, which, according to a uniform line of decision<br />
by tho Supremo Court, is a proper subject of nn oxciso tax. In brief, then, the<br />
proposed tax is nn excl.se on tho privilego of doing business. The corporation<br />
tax was held good becauso corporations havo privileges withheld from private<br />
citizons, but it is not tho samo thing to sny thaji.it is n "privilego" to do IiurI<br />
ncss in n partnership or individual capacity. To try to collect tho tax on thnt<br />
scoro night seem open to defeat in tho courts. Moreover, tbe proposed tax<br />
does not touch thoso rich men who aro not in business but livo on their pos<br />
sessions, whatever they may bo; real estate, mortgages, and various securities<br />
anything but a private business of buying and selling. And yet tho bill would<br />
seem, as reported, to tax the Incomo of the "business" of boing a lawyer or<br />
a doctor! Furthermore, the plan of self assessment embodied in the bill would<br />
bq a premium upon deceit. It remains tu bo seen whether the bill, when ex--<br />
amined by the senate, will not bo modified in thiB respect.<br />

The outlying islands have been moro<br />
than usually prolific in serious accidents<br />
during the past week, but in only ono<br />
instance, out of a number of narrow<br />
escapes from death did any of theso result<br />
fatally and that was in the caso<br />
of a deliberate suicide at Makawcli,<br />
Kauai.<br />
A certain forlorn Russian, known as<br />
Sehkelo, who had been out of work for<br />
some timo and had been applying in all<br />
quarters for any kind of work until ho.<br />
last Sunday morning and was instantly<br />
ground to death. Tbo man was most<br />
deliberate in adopting this horrible<br />
form of suicide. Ho stood by the track<br />
and watched tho engine approach at<br />
full spcad until it was within a few<br />
feet of him when ho dived under tho<br />
wheels. His body was horribly mangled<br />
and death was instantaneous.<br />
An accident of a very different typo<br />
occurred on the llanamaulu road,<br />
Kauai; tho samo day, when a certain<br />
citizen of that island who had absorbed<br />
an unusually heavy Sunday jag rode<br />
his horse over a high precipice and<br />
landed at the edgo of tho surf, taking<br />
down with him a few tons of loose rock<br />
'and gravel. Ho was granted tho usual<br />
special dispensation and both he and<br />
Lis charger escaped without serious in-<br />
jury.<br />

T HORNER WINS<br />
HIS PR0TR1CTE0 FIGHT<br />
FAMILY AGREEMENT AGAINST<br />
PUBLIC POLICY, IF IT EVER<br />
EXISTED, SAYS ROBINSON.<br />
(From Sun'.-iy'- s Advertiser.<br />
That tho Homer family agreement,<br />
if it ever existed, was against public<br />
policy and that it hadn't been proven<br />
to exist anyhow, is what Circuit Judge<br />
Hobinson decided yesterday noon, whon<br />
the arguments closed in the caso of<br />
Horner versus Horner. Tbo injunction,<br />
whereby Albert Horner sought to<br />
prevent Robort Horner from soiling<br />
shares of Kukainu plantation to Davies<br />
and company, was dissolved.<br />
The court did not say whether if tho<br />
agreement hnd been proved to oxist, it<br />
would bo sustained, but held that it<br />
hnd not been proved, and strongly intimated<br />
that even if proved it would<br />
not be enforced. Exceptions were<br />
noted bv Thompson & Wilder for Albert<br />
Horner, and the case may bo appealed.<br />
Tu ruling on the caso Judgo Robinson<br />
eaid:<br />
"Agreements of tho class to which<br />
tho agreement referred to in tbe bill<br />
lelougs, arc not favored in law as a<br />
rule, and a long lino of decisions, woll<br />
considered by eminent authorities, and<br />
liv sjstems of jurisprudence, uowit to<br />
tho present time, havo found agreements<br />
of that character as being<br />
against public policy, except in certain<br />
cases.<br />

limit tho ownership of tbo<br />

Btrlko which tied up tho systems. He<br />
war arrested for inciting the men to<br />

Some tlmo ago rumors reached tbo<br />

nnd that tboso who wcro sick and in<br />
need of attention in hospitals, were not<br />
given much attention, and wcro allowed<br />

Saturday, April 13, whilo coupling<br />

On the samo fntal Sabbath which<br />
was marked by the Russian's suicido<br />
on Kauai and the spectacular rido of<br />
tho inebriated onq, two serious automobile<br />
accidents occurred on Mani.<br />
Joo Puu, a Hawaiian boy who was<br />
learning to ride a bicycle on tho Toad<br />
between Wailuku and Kahulni, became<br />
panic stricken at the sound of nn automobile<br />
horn behind him and Bwerved in<br />
front of a car driven by Ned Nicholas.<br />
Tho wheels passed over his abdomen<br />
and lie was conveyed to tho Wailuku<br />
hospital where for several days the attendant<br />
phvsicians despaired of saving<br />
his lifo. His condition had improved<br />
somewhat on Thursday, however, and it<br />
is now believed that ho will recover.<br />
In a similar way a Japanese cyclist<br />
fell under a car driven by Sam Wcllcr<br />
on the road between Kahului and Pain.<br />
In his caBCj however, tho bicycle suf-<br />
fered the greater damngo and the<br />
auto-mobili- st<br />
made reparation by purchasing<br />
him .a new bieycle.<br />
John Corrcira, a veteran luna of tho<br />
Paia plantation was saved from a painful<br />
death Thursday, April 11, by tho<br />
prompt action of bystanders. Ho fell<br />
headlong into a vat of hot tar, hnd tho<br />
preionco of mind to hold his breath<br />
and keen his oyes closed and was pulled<br />
out in timo to escape with a few scalds<br />
which may possibly result in a slight<br />
disfigurement!<br />
would have bcon nn easy matter to havo<br />
expressed tho idea to be convoyed by<br />
the agreement in reference to the disposition<br />
of any interest in tho partnership<br />
of John M. Horner & Sons by a<br />
eovennnt running with tho property<br />
assigned in the instrument. That was<br />
not done, and the instrument is absolutely<br />
silent as to any limitation of<br />
the property assigned nnd transferred.<br />
It is only fair to assumo that tho parties<br />
didiu't intend so to limit it.<br />
"Tboro have been exceptions, it is<br />
true, where agreements such as that<br />
icferred to ia tho bill havo been upheld<br />
by the courts, but thoso havo been<br />
under exceptional circumstances and<br />
upon clear and convincing proofj and<br />
I do not think that tho evidence shows<br />
in tho caso at bar such exceptional<br />
circumstances, nor is the proof clear<br />
and convincing with tho establishment<br />
of such an assumption.<br />
"In my judgment tho respondent ia<br />
entitled to a judgment and decreo of<br />
this court in accordance 'with tho<br />
prayor contained in his nnswer; and<br />
that tbe injunction be dissolved and<br />
the bill dismissed."<br />
Tho agreement as testified to by tbe<br />
plaintiff was that none of the original<br />
family holders of the stock would sell<br />
any shares in the corporation to any<br />
outsider, without first offering the stock<br />
to other members of tbo family, at the<br />
price winch any outsider was willing to<br />
pay. Robert Hornor denied the existence<br />
of any such agreement.<br />
Is Certainly Bankrupt.<br />
John D, Holt was adjudged a bankrupt<br />
in the federal court yesterday<br />
morning- - The Territory of Hawaii was<br />
his principal creditor. A short statement<br />
showed that ho owed in taxes,<br />
dating back to 1900, tho sum of<br />
$3073.10, and, owod 1G32.58 to other<br />
creditors, and had not a cent of assets.<br />
It took about thirty entries of tho word<br />
"none" to show that John D. had<br />
nothing with which to satisfy hi<br />
creditors, including tbo Territory. Tbo<br />
tax bills which are set forth as liabilities<br />
licpin with the sum of $780.10 In<br />
Ifino and continue for eight years until<br />
tho sum of $3673 Is piled up. According<br />
to the petition, there is no real<br />
estate, no property of any kind, to<br />
meet the debts.

(From Saturday's Advertiser.<br />
Prfeonors for moro than fifty days<br />
in tho crnmped quarters of tho immigrant<br />
ship, 102 unmarried men,<br />
among whom there was no sickness,<br />
wore landed yesterday afternoon by<br />
order of the federal authorities and<br />
housed in the territorial immigration<br />
station. The gentle souls who nssomble<br />
about the wire fence of tho old<br />
to talk tearfully of "tho poor,<br />
wistful looking people so far from<br />
home" will receive a shock this morning,<br />
for a blither, jauntier force of<br />
handsome bachelors certainly never<br />
passed through the hands of tho immigration<br />
authorities. With moustaches<br />
curled nnd caps at a debonnir anglo<br />
they showed an inclination to shout<br />
"buenns tardes" at every man, woman<br />
and child between Alakca "wharf and<br />
tho immigration station.<br />
Laden down with boxes, trunks of nil<br />
shapes and sizes, bags and blankets,<br />
they fairly skipped across Alien street<br />
and filed past tho officials with a nod<br />
and smile for every one. Tho round<br />
plush caps, like Highlanders' bonnots,<br />
the short coats of an absurd cut, and<br />
tho shapeless shoes, theso merry adventurers<br />
wear with a rare graco, and<br />
their entry into Hawaii w.as more liko<br />
tho advent of picknickers than tho<br />
coming of forlorn, downtrodden villagers<br />
ten thousand miles from home.<br />
Gay Lads Indeed.<br />
Ten minutes after they had installed<br />
themselves, the immigration station<br />
took on the aspect of a bachelor's club.<br />
They squatted in circles on tho grass<br />
playing cards, they lounged in tho<br />
shade and blew smoke rings, somo Bang,<br />
others gathered in groups and indulged<br />
in all degrees of Spanish and Portuguese<br />
humor. It would seem that tho<br />
emissaries of tho territorial board had<br />
recruited the beaux and cavaliers of a<br />
hundred villages gay lads who will bo<br />
as much at home in Hawaii or in any<br />
other corner of the earth as they wcro<br />
"on their native soil. Of courso any<br />
man who had confined his activities to<br />
the limited space of an overcrowded<br />
steamer for neariy two months would<br />
be inclined to frisk about a little when<br />
he found himself on terra firma, but<br />
these soldiers of fortune, without ties or<br />
responsibilities and nothing in tho<br />
world but the baggage they carry on<br />
their backs, are irrepressible under any<br />
circumstance?.<br />
. Bond Is Filed.<br />
The permission to give a bond for<br />
$30,000 and thereby release tho immigrants<br />
from confinement on tho ship,<br />
was received from London this morning<br />
by T. H. Davics & Co., and the immigration<br />
authorities at once set to work<br />
to get the first installment ashore.<br />
Tho single men were easily disposod<br />
of, for there had been no illness among<br />
them and throughout tho voyage they<br />
had been quartered apart from the<br />
families. The matter of examining<br />
them and passing them was quickly accomplished<br />
and they are now in territorial<br />
quarantine, in tho immigration<br />
station. The larger task of passing the<br />
men, women and children still on board<br />
the Harpalion will be taken up. today<br />
and they will bo landed as rapidly as<br />
possible. The sick who were placed In<br />
the hospital on quarantine island Thursday<br />
are still in federal quarantlno and<br />
will bo under federal jurisdiction until<br />
the exact nature of somo of tho cases<br />
is known. Others, who aro afflicted<br />
with mild diseases not quarantinablo<br />
under the federal regulations, will<br />
shortly be turned over to tho territorial<br />
board of health.<br />
One of tho nine babies born en route<br />
died Thursday night of malnutrition.<br />
Other than this no new cases of sickness<br />
have been discovered.<br />

ATTRACT ATTENTION<br />
(From Saturday's Advertiser.)<br />
For several dnys past tho appearance<br />
upon tho streets of n most distinguished<br />
looking couple, of magnificent<br />
bearing, foreign aspect and that<br />
raro but indefinable air of eleganco<br />
which is supposed to characterize tho<br />
old world nobility, have attracted no<br />
little attention.<br />
Monsieur is a tall, broadshouldcrod<br />
man with carefully groomed, upturned<br />
moustaches, a soldierly bearing and is<br />
attired in excellent clothes of a decid-<br />
edly European cut. His eyes are clear<br />
gray and his features clean cut and<br />
handsome.<br />
Madame is a portly woman, who<br />
wears a linen suit of fashionable cut.<br />
diamond pendant earrings, a broad Bilk<br />
scan anu wiro carries an 01a roso para<br />
sol to protect-b- er peerless complexion<br />
They aro not French, thoy certainly<br />
are not German, although that comes<br />
closer to it, but they might bo Russian.<br />
'JHave you seen any account of tho<br />
arrival of a Russian grand dulco and<br />
duchessf" asked one citizen of another<br />
as the couple sauntered along King<br />
street yesterday.<br />
"I wonderwuere they nro stopping,"<br />
said another citizen, "'probably they<br />
are some distinguished Russians quietly<br />
louring me worm,"<br />
Now as a matter of fact this is what<br />
really became of monsieur and madame<br />
after they had sauntered as far as<br />
Alakea street. With no less majesty<br />

TO SUBTRACT IT BXPE0T3<br />
A LIVELY TRADE.<br />
Captain F. D. Wnlkor, horo of tho<br />
famous Wandering Minstrel wreck on<br />
Midway Island, claims to bo tho discoverer<br />
of ft process of deodorising<br />
shark liver oil, which ho says nakn<br />
tho oil a highly valuablo medicinal<br />
product. Walker, who is over seventy<br />
yoars of ago, spent n largo part if last<br />
year at Kawathac, in the shark<br />
His health failed and for a timo<br />
ho was in a vory sorious condition. Ho<br />
says that shark oil brought him back<br />
to his prcsont lively stato, nnd that<br />
when pioplo got to know tho nu'dicinal<br />
and nutritive value of tho oil, shnro Is;<br />
going to bo a vory lively domand for<br />
sharks. "Aly attention wns dirmtcd<br />
to tho sharks somo yours ago when I<br />
was in British Columbia," said tho<br />
captain. "I was thoro to look over tho<br />
dogfish business, with tho intention of<br />
storting n guano company to furnish<br />
fish fertilizer to tho sugar plantations<br />
on these islands. A physician drew my<br />
attention to tho groat medicinal valuo<br />
of tho oil. Ho informed mo that in<br />
over thirty yoars of observation ho hnd<br />
been amazed at its nutritivo and euro,-tiv- o<br />
proportios.<br />
"As ho hnd travolcd all ovor tho<br />
Northwest, boing attachod to some<br />
mission society, also tho Hudson Bay<br />
Company, ho had had amplo opportunities<br />
to got valuablo information. Ills<br />
regard for tho oil of tho liver of tho<br />
dogfish was very great.<br />
"Though tho oil was prepared<br />
roughly with tho stench not romovod,<br />
tho Siwnsli Indians, in cases of sickness,<br />
drank it frooly, with tho most gratify-in- g<br />
results.<br />
"Tho doctor said that if tho oil could<br />
bo deodorized, wo would havo tho most<br />
vnlunblo artlclo in tho pharmacopoeia<br />
of tho world.<br />
"Tho flesh of tho dogfish contains<br />
too much oil of n worthless character<br />
to mako a fertilizer for sugar. Tho<br />
shark is as a fertilizer moro valuable,<br />
thero being vory littlo oil in tho flesh.<br />
"The oil of tho shark liver is superior<br />
to that of tho dogfish, and as I have<br />
discovered tho method of deodorizing<br />
tho oil, I think I Imvo fulfilled tho doctor's<br />
wish.<br />
"Tho Hnwniinn shark is tho best<br />
species known, being of Inrgo b!zo, well<br />
fed, n fact woll proved by tho sizo of<br />
its liver."<br />

arrested on a chargo of illegal possession<br />

A quick investigation of tho case disclosed<br />
tho fact that Mitchell had boon<br />

a demurrer, on tho ground that tho complaint<br />
drawn up iu tho offlco of the<br />

For a timo it looked as though the<br />

Captain Fisher asked that tho cases<br />

Scores of Tests. -<br />
Engineer Smith Iuib worked y<br />
in his mixtures of cemont<br />
nnd sand to find ono that would with-<br />
stand tho notion of tho waters of Pearl<br />
Harbor. Sebrcs of blocks' havo been<br />
moulded and sent to. the city to bo<br />
tested nt tho Collego of Hawaii. Ho<br />
worked every of sd tho county attornoy<br />

and yesterday camo tho result. Tho<br />
workers will now rcdoublo their efforts<br />
to catch up lost time, which lias neces-<br />
sarily been chalked against them duo<br />
to tho many delays.<br />
F. B. Smith, the engineer of tho 'con<br />
tracting company, is now supposed toj<br />
at Santa Cruz whero laboratory<br />

Pearl Harbor which was sent up in ino<br />

and is said to havo been to<br />
watch tho tests in the laboratory,<br />
whero it was hoped tho peculiar<br />
chemical quality in tho wator would<br />
bo determined.<br />
Somo of tlio Troublos.<br />
Tho first section of tho drydock, 200<br />
feet long, was enclosed around tho false;<br />
cribbing, and the pumps were started, to<br />
reduce tlio wator level last year. Aftor<br />
going down about feet it was<br />
seen that tho sheath piling was<br />
almost imperceptibly, but from an en-<br />
gineer's standpoint, sufficient to cause<br />
alarm. The pumps wore stopped, .and<br />
divors sent down to ascertain tho cause,<br />
Thoy reported that as tho water lqvo<br />
in tho section wont down tho bottom<br />
of tho basin had a tendency to rise;<br />
This was tho first problem confronting<br />
tho engineers.<br />
It was decided after some investiga-<br />
tion to "pin" tho bottom down with<br />
piles, for which job congress allowed<br />
an additional $157,000. Tho piles were<br />
brought from Puget Sound and<br />
driven into tho bottom, leaving<br />
heads sticking up. Then tho Tromy<br />
system of pouring concrete was ndopt-ed- .<br />
This was the of funnels which<br />
down to tho bottom.<br />
was<br />
into tho top, nnd as it emerged<br />
from tho tube, it was caught and<br />
spread by divers. Tho work went on<br />
until a lew montns ngo wiicn it was<br />
d<br />
that tho bottom was sufliciently<br />
capped to pump out tho water so that<br />
tho remnindcr of tho work could he<br />
dono in tho "dry." The water level<br />
was reduced within n few feet of the<br />
concrete lnyor when more leaks wero<br />
discovered, and it was then found that<br />
portions of tho concrete wero breaking<br />
away. Tho section was allowed to<br />
again and divors went down. Workmen<br />
then broko oil tno decomposing pans<br />
nnd a new concrete was laid on. To<br />
break up somo tho portions a now<br />
kind of pick-dri- ll was employed, work-<br />
ing somewhat on tho lines of n<br />
hammer. Theso gouged out big chunks.<br />
Decomposed.<br />
Then it was discovered that the con-<br />
creto was apparently decomposod. It<br />
was later decided that thcro wah n po- -<br />
leulinr chemical quality in the water<br />
winch "mushed" tlio concrete, i'lunl<br />
ly. Sir. Smith was called to San Fran<br />
cisco, tho headquarters of his linn, for<br />
a consultation. Meanwhilo the naval<br />
engineers wero busy putting cement<br />

McDUFFIE TICKLED.<br />
Arery clover was the skin game which<br />
landed Jim Kawaauhau in tho city jail<br />
yestorday, but no less bumpy wjb the<br />
thump with which ho lauded. Jim work-<br />
ed his littlo game for just $2.25 which<br />
was quite a modest sum, particularly<br />
when ho might have reversed Ins trick<br />
and doubled the reward. His gamo ran<br />
about this way:<br />
Jim was discharged from tho fire de-<br />
partment, following suspicious which<br />
nroso on tho disappearance of money<br />
about tho central station. During his<br />
service tts a fireman, however, ho learn-<br />
ed tho ways of tlio department well,<br />
lie knew among other things that thcro<br />
was a firmen named Bell at, the Makiki<br />
station, who hada brother at tho central<br />
station. When he becump- short of<br />
cash ouo day last week, lio callod up<br />
the Makiki station Bell and informed<br />
him that this was his brother.<br />
"I am sick," was the information ho<br />
dispensed, "and have to go to the doc<br />
tor. "Will you lend me two dollars if<br />
I send a messenger up after "itf I will<br />
wait for it at tho corner of RichnrdsJ<br />
and Borctania."<br />
The brother hastened to bo philan-<br />
thropic and gave a messenger two dol-<br />
lars and paid the quarter fee. Tho<br />
messenger had answered a call which<br />
was supposed to havo como from tho<br />
Makiki lire station, but which had orig-<br />
inated with tho wily Jim. Jim met<br />
him,said his nomo was Bell, and re-<br />
ceived tho money. He missed an ar-<br />
tistic possibility by not calling jip tho<br />
Boll nt tho central station nnd going<br />
through the same procedure.<br />
Tho cliihax came yesterday morning<br />
when the Slnklkt Bell called Jip tno<br />
central Bell and asked him how ho<br />
was getting along and did ho get the<br />
money all right I A fight started right<br />

HARD FIGHTS ON<br />
TAXES COMING<br />
BISHOP ESTATE NOT PLANNING<br />
TO CONTE8T MANY RAISES<br />
MADE BY ASSESSORS.<br />
V,<br />
The lend In the fight against thffrniso<br />
in tax assessments will not he taken<br />
by tho Bishop estate, according to<br />
Riiuemcnis mnuo yestemny oy us rcpro-- 1 McBrrde Sue.<br />

raises In assessments affecting Its prop-<br />
erty. Other real estate holders, how-<br />
ever, nro working on figures that will<br />
undoubtedly make some hard fought<br />
contests before tho tax appeal board.<br />
It was stated ycstoTday by a repre-<br />
sentative of tho Bishop cstato that<br />
there were few if any contests in sight,<br />
far as estato is concerned, on SL.Co.""'.!!!I<br />
assessment valuations, xijero is UKeiy<br />
to bo a contest in the courts, however,<br />
.is to assessment of school property<br />
in Honolulu held by tho estate. Tho<br />
isstio is mado as to property adjoining<br />
Kainehamclin Schools, but not used<br />
directly for school purposes. Tho ques-<br />
tion which will bo submitted to tho<br />
courts, in a friendly suit, is as to<br />
whether tho cstato should pay taxes on<br />
this property on its actual value as<br />
losideneo property, or bo oxempted on<br />
the ground that it is school property.<br />
Tho land js used for pasture at present.<br />
Bishop Estate's Position.<br />
The position tnken by tho Bishop<br />
estato is shown in part by a circular<br />
letter sent out to all its lessees, on all<br />
.tho islnnds. It invited tho lessees to<br />
notify tho estato if they wished to ap-<br />
peal from the increase in assessment of<br />
their taxes. Bishop estato leases all<br />
contain provisions that the holders of<br />
the laiuls,shall stand taxes, etc., so that<br />
it is up to the peoplo who have leases<br />
to decide whethor there shall bo appeals<br />
or not.<br />
Tlioro is some time yet, in which ap-<br />
peals can be filed, but it was authorita-<br />
tively stated yesterday that, the ap-<br />
peals on Bishop fitatc property,, so far<br />
in sisht, wore few.<br />
Tt is lelieved other property<br />
holders are preparing to make appeals<br />
in quito a lartjo number of eases, claim-in-<br />

ed already by ennui, Baby McCoy, his<br />
shoulders bowed with all his four and<br />
a half years, loft his father's homo on<br />
Young street. His littlo had hard-<br />
ly pattered around tho corner before<br />
the loss was discovered. Tho prodigal<br />
had choseu seven in the morning as<br />
tho hour of his departure, so daddy as<br />
well his mother sta.rted at once in<br />
pursuit. But alas, they rounded<br />
wrong corner, whllo Baby wandered<br />
still further. After .an hour or so the<br />
polico wero sent for and Chief o<br />
arrived with n squad of his men,<br />
A houso-to-lious- and t<br />
search was commenced and the sun<br />
climbed towards the meridian and all<br />
tho shooters frisked up their stingers<br />
aud frolicked but the doctor was not<br />
paying attention to shooters.<br />
Pretty soon tho big cliiof met a<br />
small boy, a little gutter-snip- o he has<br />
arrested three or four times for steal-<br />
ing pigeons.<br />
"Say, son," ho asked him, in smooth,<br />
paternal tones, "havo you seen a lit<br />
tlo kid nuout<br />
wandering off all by himself f"<br />
The gutter-snip- looked at him sol-<br />
emnly and a great idea entered his<br />
head.<br />
"You bet vet lifo I did. I was iust<br />
with him up at Manoa Valley, Ho is<br />
up there all nlonc," lie cried with on<br />
tuusiasm. i<br />
So the chief whistled for his men<br />
and the police auto mado tracks for<br />
.Manoa while the urcluu went behind a<br />
billboard and danced a highland iliug,<br />
But in tho meanwhile, at just twelve<br />
five<br />
lcled excitement, another phyeieinn,<br />
passing down King street in his auto,<br />
recognized tho youug McCoy drowsing<br />
boro him back to his<br />
F.wa<br />
Pacific<br />
Pretty boou the chief cuuieb(tek all<br />
covered with dust aud cuss wordsjtjmt<br />
had slopped over and the<br />
small wanderer waving a club like a<br />
big ogle.<br />
"Shall I tako him to the polico sta-<br />
tion" ho asked Mrs. SlcCoy,<br />
"AVJmt do they do with littlo boys<br />
at police stntiout" asked Mother,<br />
"Send 'em tho reform school and<br />
inako 'em feed roared the chief.<br />
But Baby hid his face in tho<br />
best place of all for small<br />
his mother's lap, and the cnlef, in-<br />
stead hint up altogether,<br />
to one of men to ruu<br />
oi t and catch that gutter snipe who<br />
used to steal pigeons.<br />

A WIRELESS SYSTEM<br />
SENATE COMMITTEE ON NAVAL<br />
AFFAD1S AGREES TO AUTHOR-<br />
IZE BIG APPROPRIATION.<br />
AVASinNGTON, April 22. Tho sen-<br />
ate committee on naval affairs has<br />
ag"reed to authorize $1,000,000 for a<br />
world-wid- e wireless system for tho<br />
United States'' Navy.<br />
A board of naval olliccrs, acting fop<br />
tho bureau of steam engineering, re-<br />
cently submitted a report on tlio proj-<br />
ect, nnd its adoption will moan that<br />
tho government will have the Pacific<br />
covered by wireless day and night, and<br />
that no matter where an American ves-- '<br />
sol may he she will never be out of com<br />
municatlon with the navy department<br />
at Washington. Tho cost of tho sys-<br />
tem as planned by the "naval board<br />
will bo about $1,000,000, aud the wire-<br />
less companies havo already submitted<br />
plans and estimates. Tho system could<br />
bo operated without the danger' of priv<br />
ate corporations obtaining possession of<br />
departmental Bocrcts.<br />
Secrecy could be obtained by the uso<br />
of codes. Experiments have shown that<br />
by changing the wave lengths of tho<br />
different stations communication can be<br />
had through interference of any kind.<br />
The code of the navy is secret, aud<br />
is kept to by changing. Nono but com-<br />
missioned "officers have access to it, and<br />
consequently there is littlo chanco of<br />
its being communicated to tbo general<br />
outside world. There would be high-pow-<br />
stations in this system of com-<br />
munication nt Colon, San Francisco,<br />
Hawaii, Samoa, Guam nnd tho Philip-<br />
pines.<br />
Tho station at Guam would bo espe-<br />
cially .worth constructing because thcro<br />
is no cablo there, the end of tho cable<br />
being over in the Fiji Islands. A sta-<br />
tion on tho northern end of Luzon<br />
would control all ships anywhere in<br />
the North Pacific. The station at Guam<br />
could relay to Hawaii. Tho latter is<br />
tho only link the bureau is not ready<br />
to miarantea for communication at any<br />
time. It may be necessary lopai u.<br />
o'clock as Baby McCoy was becoming station on Midway Island but this con.<br />
satiated with hours of unparal-- i tingoncy is not expected to arise, as<br />
