Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-11-29
SENATOR JOHN MORGAN.
Writes from Honolulu on the Sub
ject Of Annexation.
United states, Says the Alabama
Statesman, Must Occupy Pearl
HarbOr An Almost Ideal
Naval Station.

While Senator Morgan, Alabama, was
in Honolulu he wrote letter on the sub
iect of Hawaiian annexation to the New
York Herald. The following extract
from it refers to the beautiful Pearl
Harbor, the proposed station in the Pa
cific ocean, for the United States navy:
Considered in sense as broad as the
distance between Asia and America
there is no place on either coast, or in
any island of the Pacific ocean, that is
of equal importance and value to COM
merce or naval power as Pearl Harbor
The reasons are that it is central in
the arc of the great circle, north of the
equator, that is described by the coasts
of Asia and America. 1t has the best
climate of any port on either coast. 1t
affords the best and cheapest shelter to
shipping and the least expensive ways
for provisioning, repairing, coaling and
watering vessels of any size.
The sea line of the harbor is coral
reef that is about eight miles from the
shore of the harbor in its inland stretch
on a direct line. The bay divides into
three bodies of water as it reaches in
land, all nearly ofsqual size and depth.
The peninsulas that thus divide the wa
ters approach the entrance through the
outer bar-the coral reef-within dis
tance Of three miles, and command it
absolutely. Inland the shores of the
harbor, with their meanderings, are
included in space about six miles
wide, as will be seen by consulting a
chart of the harbor. The outer bar is
of soft corals, and easily removed by
pumping, and the space to be dredged
is less than half mile.
All these questions are put to rest by
the dredging of the same kind of bar
at Honolulu, not six miles up the coast,
and are no longer debatable. The work

Fixing the Liability.

Attorney George Il. Bedford, A. II.
McClintock and Alexander Farnham
sat as arbtrators Friday and listened to
testimony in the case of the d. S. & S.
r. r. Co. VS.. the Lehigh Traction Com
pany. The contest is to ascertain and
fix the liability for the damage to life
and property caused by collision be-
tween d. S. & S. engine and an electric
car near Hazleton about a year ago, in
which a number of people were injured,
some fatally.
The decision of the arbitrators will fix
the liability on either one or the other
of the companies, which will then be
made defendants to several damage suits
pending. A number of employees of both
companies and the passengers on the
trolley car gave testimony in the case.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-11-29

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Wilkesbarre Record continues to
defend the attorney general of Pennsyl-
vania from the charge of not enforcing
the company store law, upon the pretext
that the official in question can proceed
against the guilty companies only after
information has been laid before him by
two citizens who are also residents of
the county in which the ofTense is com
mitted.
We say here and now, first, that the
law does not use the word only in the
relation assigned to it by the Wilkes
barre Record, and, second, that any day
the attorney general desires such in
formation in good faith he can get 200
citizens of Luzerne county to give it to
him.
But let us suppose for moment that
such is not the fact, and that it is his
duty to sit with folded hands and wait
until the information is passed to him
upon gold platter-even then there is
absolutely no reason why DR.. johnson
and Mr.. Powell, the publisher and editor
of the Wilkesbarre Record, being citizens
of Luzerne county, should not step for
ward in the interest of the Luzerne
laborng men and give the attorney
general the information for which he
is wasting away.

Count de Lonzo, of Bulgaria, Duke
de Sheverette, Marquis Chateau Renard,
Prince of the Blood Royal, Knight of
the Legion of Honor, etc, etc." called
at the TRIBUNE Office on Thursday.
The count claims to be the only genuine
nobeman who has ever worked for a
living. He was exiled from Bulgaria a
year ago by King Ferdinand, his vast
estates were forfeited and he was com
PEELED to fly for his life. On arriving in
America the necessity for work arose,
and he assumed the name of H. Stanley
Lewis to hide his distinguished charac-
ter, as he had not the money to support
his long list of titles.
Count de Lonzo is acting as advance
agent for Brother for Brother" and
will continue working until he meets his
ideal--a wealthy American lady who
will marry him. His Highness dresses
in the latest style and speaks the best
of English.

The Freeland Steam Laundry, neaf
the corner of Front and Brkbeck streets,
South Heberton, took fire early Satur-
day morning. The flames were extn-
guished after an estimated loss of S10C
to the laundry fixtures and 500 to the
building had been incurred.
The employees Of the laundry were
preparing to begin work, shortly after
6 o'clock, when John Brelsford, one of
the proprietors, opened the basement
door. A large boiler and stove are
located on the first floor, and the heat
from these began circulating through
the basement. This coming in contact
with the fumes from gasoline in quart
tank in the basement, small explosion
followed. and the woodwork nearby
took fire.
Owing to the distance from the fire
house, a small hose was procured at
Rudewick's store and did effective work
until the firemen arrived with the ap-
paratus. Two streams were turned int
the basement, and the flames were pre-
vented from reaching the upper floors
and finally eXtinguished.
Very little of the laundry machinery
was damaged, and none of the goods
owned by patrons was injured. After
the fire the management started work
the same as usual and the establishment
is in running order again. The Messrs.
Brelsford are very thankful to the fire.

effective and intelligent work done.
The property is owned by NJ. Schwabe.

is of the lightest character of sea
dredging. Both outside and inside this
narrow reef the water is over 60 feet
deep, and Pearl Harbor, from the bar
to its extreme limits inland, is without
any obstruction and is of sufficient
depth for the largest ships. Five hun
dred sail could easily be moored to the
shores in positions of perfect safety.
Deep water is found all along the
shores of the bay, all of which are per-
pendicular walls of stone. They could
scarcely be more regular or useful if
they had been built by skilled work
men. On the side of the bay next to
Honolulu hills from the seacoast are
from 100 to 500 feet high. Guns on these
elevations would easily command the
entrance to both harbors, while within
Pearl harbor and back of Honolulu the
points available for harbor defense
could scarcely be more advantageous.
The cost of land for these works will
be what the United States chooses to
give. 1t should be what a court and
jury would award on a full hearing.
The courts are of very high models of
wisdom and justice. The channels of
Pearl harbor are all deep-with rock
bound shores that are perpendicular.
A vessel can be moored at almost anv
place along miles of shore line and will
be out of sight from sea, except the
top riggings. The largest ship can
easily turn round in the narrowest
parts, while a dry dock can be CON
structed at a low cost at many places in
Pearl harbor with walls excavated in
the rock.
Commander II. Z. Nichols, command
ing the bennington, is now completing
the survey commenced by Admiral
Walker, When his report is made the
technical facts will appear TO the eye
of the ordinary observer.
Enough is obvious 10 the most un-
skilled person to create the firm CON
Viction that Pearl harbor cannot be eX-
celled as location for naval station.
or great seaport, or fortress in the
sea, or as site of great cities, or in
furnishing beautiful homes for the in
dustrial classes or for wealthy people.
in a soft and temperate climate, where
nature revels in the beauty OF flowers.
and the richness of fruits. and the life
sustaining productions for tie support
of dense populations. How the United
States can do without this harbor-to
say nothing of the other islands-is
question that this generation must ar
swer at its peril.

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.

The church last evening was crowded
with people who came to hear the closing
sermon of Rev. j. 7. Griffith, the pastor.
Many of those present were members OF
other churches of town and attended to
show their appreciation of the general
good work which can be traced to Rev.
Griffith. After the farewell sermon had
| been preached, and the evening services
concluded, several of the brethren ex-
pressed their approval of the labors
rendered by the pastor during his three
years in Freeland, and many regretful
goodbye was given him. The following
resolutions were then unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, We learn with regret that
our pastor, Rev. j. L. Griffith, has after
careful consideration resigned the pas
torate of the Bethel English Baptist
church of Freeland, Pa, and has ac-
cepted unanimous call to the Lansford
Baptist church. Therefore, be it
