SANFORD B. DOLE


WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2S.-In
anticipation of the final enactment OF
the Hawaiian government bill the Pres
ident is devoting some attention to the
selection of the various officials of the
new government who are subject TO ex-
ecutiye appointment. 1t is the inten-
ton to make these appointments very
soon in order that there may be no de-
lay in the Inauguration of the new gov
eminent and to secure speedy relief
from the serious embarrassments for
the present analamous condition of af-
fairs.
The Hawaiian contingent in Wash
iEgton has not been behind hand in
suggesting suitable material TO the
President for his consideration in this
connection. Particularly in the case
of the governorship have there been
urgent representations There are no
less than four candidates in the field.
The name of President Dole leads the
list: Harold Sewell, late United States
minister to Honolulu, and now United
States agent in the islands, is making
formidable canvass, backed by the
Maine delegation, and there are two
persons OF Hawaiian birth prominent in
the affairs of the islands, whose names
also are under consideration. There is
ground for the belief that of all these
candidates President Dole is looked up
on most favorably. the President in
clining to the view that, by making
such an appointment he would not
only recognize the DeoDle of the home
rule, but also would make suitable
recognition of the long continued and
effective efforts of Sanford 3. Dole TO
secure the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands to the United States.

and Lambert, and They are to be
Pushed.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-Friends and
business associates of John Lambert,
president of the American Steel and
Wire Company, and John w. Gates,
chairman of the board OF directors of
that company, to-day made emphatic
denials of the report that these gen.
tlemen had left New York to evade
summonSes issued against them in
connection with the recent stock trans
actions. 1t is tactily admitted. how
ever. that such summonses have been
issued and that the matter will be
pushed.
Max Pam. general counsel for the
American Steel and Wire Company,
said to-day:
THE publication this morning of
the institution of criminal proceed
ings against Mr.. Gates and Mr.. Lam
bert cannot remain unnoticed. There
is absolutely no foundation for any
such proceedings, and in my Judgment
an Interior motive prompts what has
been caused to be published.
Mr.. Gates and Mr.. Lambert have
been advised of this action, and will
leave Chicago so as to be here Mon
day morning ready to submit to SER
vice of any process whatsoever, en-
abling any person making any COM
plant to have an immediate trial
Counsel have been employed, who will
not only look after the defense, but
will look to the vigorous prosecution
OF the parties undertaking this pro-
ceeding"
Washington Seligman, of the
stock exchange firm of Seligman &
Van Antwerp, who is said to have
made application for the summons,
was seemingly loath to discuss his at
titude in the Steel and Wire matter.
He did say, however, that at the
proper time he had no doubt that
plenty of persons would be found to
take a position against Mr.. Gates.
George Lamb. of the law firm of
Lamb & Voss, admitted that he and
ex-Judge Daily had been giving the
matter their attention at the request
OF Mr.. Seligman. Mr. Lamb said he
regretted the rather premature pub
llcatlon of the issuance of a summons.
as it might interfere with some of his
plans. He also said that there would
be no extradition proceedings brought
against MIR. Gates, as he had every
reason to believe that the chairman
OF the American Steel and Wire Com
pany would be here at the adjourned
meeting on May 7.

ject to construct a new railroad from
Uniontown to Waynesburg and then
to Wheeling through the Greene coun-
ty coal fields, viii die Of its own aD-

Pitcairn, of the Pennsylvania railroad,

there is to add water TO the supply

THE so-ealled enterprise known as

years this same project hobs up.
II will say, in general way, but
not officially, that it Is absurd to think
that the three big trunk lines which
tap the Connelisviile coke region
would prevent fourth railroad, such
as this is TO be built Why? simply
because there Is not sufficient busi-
ness in that section 70 divide It into

why this enterprise would be pushed
Is for the purpose Of selling out to tha
