DISCUSSION AS TO THEIR HARBOR
RIGHTS.
They Are Given Preference over All
But Mail Steamers-The Grant Loses
Whole Day

If there are not wharves enough for
both, which has right to precedence,
mail steamer or a United States
army transport?
This is a question that is being dis
cussed very much along the waterfront
and during the present rush of army
vessels it is one of great Importance.
A transport has no time to lose and
it costs the Government thousands of
dollars a day, if it is a big one, so
it is not meant to lie idle in any har-
Dor. On the other hand mail and pas
Senger vessels are supposed to be de-
layed by nothing.
Colonel Ruhlen, quartermaster, who
has charge of the arrangements for
army vessels in this port, is inclined
to think that they should have first
call, but Captain Fuller the harbor-
master, regards the mail steamers
claims as the best and the transport
Sherman was turned out from the dock
sunday and yesterday to make way
for the City of Peking. The situation
was explained to the colonel and an
understanding was arrived at but
there is talk of an effort to secure an
even more favorable ruling for trans
ports than they now have. They are
given room before any merchantmen.
The steamer Bankoku Maru and many
other vessels have been in the harbor
more than a week waiting for wharf.
while transports come and get dock
age room and leave. The result is q
great expense to the shpowneIs
"As long as there is not room enough
we can only do the best our room al
lows" said Captain Fuller, who work
ed at ten O'Clock last night to get the
Sherman back at the wharf after the
Pekings departure. There is no trou-
BILE over the proposition, except that
we have not enough room and Colonel
Ruhling understands the situation per-
fectly. We give transports places in
preference to anything else but mail
steamers. .
The big transport Grant, which ar
rived last night, was still waiting for
room today and there was no place
for her. 1t was arranged that she
should get the Australia's place this
afternoon, as that steamship will va
cate the Oceanic wharf at about four
o'clock Other transports are coming
and may call for space at any time.
The Aztec was taken out at about five
o'clock this morning. after work on
her all night.

NORTHERN PACIFIC VESSELS To
CALL HERE.
An officer of the Company Says 1t
is Preparing to Run Regularly to
This Port.

The steamship Tacoma. now in port
as a United States transport, may be
calling here regularly as one of new
line of passenger vessels before many
months go by. She is owned by the
Northern Pacific Company and accord
ing to one of her officers the company
proposes in the near future to change
It's steamship lines so that it's vessels
will call here.
The Northern Pacific operates six
steamers, of which the Tacoma is one.

Japan. 1t is stated that the company
IS now preparing to handle business

THE Northern Pacific Company re-
Gently secured American register"
said Steward Mark" Hanna of the
Tacoma, "and | understood that it was
for the purpose of having her vessels
call at Honolulu, which could not be
done under foreign flag as foreign
vessels are not allowed to do business
between American ports. The COM
pany is having three fine new steam
erS bullt and they will probably be
used in the passenger and freight line
Tor this port. BY connections with it's
railroad lines the company will be able
to handle far Eastern business through
its own offices"
The Northern Pacific has been oper
atlng some high class steamers on its
line, though the Tacoma is not ore of
the best. The Arizona, now ;ha trans
port Hancock and one of the largest
steamers in Pacific waters. was sold to
the Government by the company. Its
new steamships are to be built accord
ing to the latest designs and will be

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY FOR
HAWAII
Local Electrician and Promoter Will
Meet the Inventor in New York.
System is Now Assured.

Fred. j. Cross will sail by the Aus
meet Marconi, the inventor of the wire
less system of telegraphy and to con-
suit with that gentleman in regard to
stations between the Islands of the
Hawaiian group.
Some days ago, Mr.. Cross received a
letter from Marconi making an ap-
pointment for a meeting in New York
The local promoter, on this trip, will
have the advantage of witnessing the
experiments to be made by Marconi in
the navy for the United States. He
hopes, also, to bring the inventor back
with him. to Honolulu.
Instruments for experimental sta
tions have been ordered and will be
here by the last of the present month, 3"
said Mr.. Cross this morning. "As soon
as l return complete experiments will
be made at my own expense. None of
the subscribers to stock will be call
ed upon to put a dollar until the sue
cess of the system is a certainty and
the instruments are ready to go in. The
prospects now are that | will be able
to have all of the islands connected
sooner than l had at first expected"
Mr.. Cross will personally arrange
with Mr.. Marconi as to the royalty on
the instruments and the system. He
figures that the interview and practi-
cal experience from following the nav
al experiments will be of inestimable
value in planning the system for the
Islands.

CHARGED WITH FORGERY
CLERK OF COURT ARRESTED
THIS AFTERNOON.
Fred. Iaukea Charged with Forging
The Name of ]. A. Magoon to
Note-Bail Fixed at $1,000

Fred. H. Iaukea, the young son of
Colonel Curtis p. Iaukea, of Waialua,
and fourth clerk of the Judiciary De-
partment, was arrested this afternoon
on the charge of forgery.
His bail has been fixed at $1,000.
Colonel Iaukea has been telephoned
for and will probably arrive on the
late afternoon train to arrange for
bonds.
The forgery is alleged to have been
committed on last Saturday, Septem-
Der 30. At that time p. H. Burnette,
so the complaint states, received from
the endorsement of j. Alfred Magoon.
Burnette, who is a broker, paid over
the money in exchange for the bogus
paper.
When shown the note Mr.. Magoon
repudiated the signature as a forgery.
Burnette endeavored first to get a set
tlement of the matter but failing in
this caused a complaint to be filed
against the young man. The arrest
was made just after noon by Deputy
Marshal Chillingworth
Young Iaukea is mere boy, and has
had little business experience. His
friends feel that he did not and does
not realize the seriousness of his
offense. 1t is likely that some sort of
settlement will be made of the money
part of the matter during the after
noon. The accused succeeded A. p.
Taylor as clerk in the office under
Henry Smith.

A runaway horse, attached to a hack

The animal was stopped by one of the
reins catching on the axle. 1t was
wound round and the horse was alb
ruptly turned on to the sidewalk

hacks were also passed at close quar-
ters. One of the women jumped out
and was severely bruised. The horse
was started by horse back rider who
collided with the vehicle.
There was another exciting run
