NO CAUSE OF ALARM
NEXT GUBERNATORIAL APPOINT.
MENT WELCOME.
Better Sense of the Community Will
Much Attention.

w. o. Smith who returned in the
Alameda yesterday from lengthy trip
on the mainland during which he had
an interview with the President who
talked earnestly of Hawaiian affairs
and exhibited a close intimacy with
the local political situation.
There are" said Mr.. Smith, "a
great Macy exaggerated reports on the
mainland especially with regard to the
possible sudden resignation of Cover
nor Dole These reports receive but
little comment or credence beyond the
fact being to a certain extent accepted,
that the Governor may through ill
health feel it wiser to resign.
"To meet that contingency there has
of course been certain talk about ap-
pointments. do not know that L care
to say anything about the matter as it
is almost impossible to be definite.
You might say however that in case
of an appointment to fill q vacancy
that might be caused by the resgna-
ton of the executive it will be one that
Will prove in no sense alarming and
will be welcomed by the better sense
of the community.
THE President is earnest in his de-
sire and determination of the appoint
ment of none but upright men to office
in Hawaii. They are thoroughly well
informed in washington about matters
here generally including the labor pro-
blem. Secretary Cooper evidently fur
nished a great deal of valuable infor-
nation on his visit. Aside from the
President, Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock spoke most earnestly about
the welfare of the islands and his de-
sire to do the best and most for them
that was possible"

OFFICIAL SEA SERPENT
NO DOUBT OF HIS IDENTITY THIS
TIME.
Reported to the Navy Department by
photographic Officer Henry Neligan.
Seen in the Gulf of Mexico.

NEW YORK, November pa spe-
cial to the Sun from Washington says:
After being subject for many years
of uncertahaty, coGbt and even down
right disbelief, the sea serpent has been
vindicated officially, and the evidence
of its living, breathing, spouting realu
ity is duly recorded in the Government
archives in Washington In a report
to the photographic office of the Navy
Department Henry Neligan, one of the
regular observers of marine events des-
ignated by the chief photographer, Of
icially vOuches for the existence of one
of these monsters of the deep.
Neligan, who is third officer of the
steamer lrada, reports that the mon
ster was sighted October 26th 100 miles
southwest of the Mississippi. 1t was
about 100 feet long. The head had a
blunt, square nose, and was ejecting
water to a height of two or three feet
from its nOstrils. The animal, or fish,
had three distinct sets of fins and tail
lying across like a porpoise. on its
back was a series of humps like those
of a camel. 1t was heading about east
and moving slowly. The officers of the
photographic Office credit the report.

TO WHARF INJUNC
TION SUIT.
Boyd Says the Wharf is No Obstruc-
ton and That He Intends to Connect
With Shore.

superintendent of Public Works j. H.
Boyd and Cotton Bros. this morning
tled their answers to the suit of the
Oahu Railway and Land Company
asking for an injunction to restrain
them from building or continuing to
use the approach to the Hackfeld
wharf, at the Eva end of the harbor
The answer of Cotton Bros who have
the contract for the work. states that
defendants were employed to construct
a wharf by the department of public
works, and that the bridge or wharf
complained of is temporary approach
from Queen street, a public street and
is necessary for use in construction of
the wharf. The water where the ap-
proach has been constructed is navi-
gable only by scows and row-boats
say the defendants. and as the piles are
l5R feet apart, there is no obstruction
to the passage of such craft. AS to the
harbor lines established by the Secre-
tary of War, defendants state that
they are not informed.
Superintendent Boyd's answer con-
tains the same matter as that of Cot
ton Bros. and in addition a statement
that the proposed wharf "is to be con-
structed within and not outside the
harbor lines alleged by said complain
ant to have been established by the
said Secretary of War, and therefore
in violation of no statute of the United
States"
Boyd also says that the new wharf
has at present no permanent connec-
ton with the shore, but that it is the
intention of his department to ulti-
mately extend the wharf to a public
road along the line of the plaintiff's
property.
Robertson and Wilder are attorneys
for the defendants.

SUSPECT FOUL PLAY
AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATING
ALLEGED DROWNING.
Body of Herman Lubbock Found floating
Near Quarantine Wharf this Morning.
Little Known of His Movements.

The body of Herman Lubbock, well
known watchman about the city, was
found floating in the harbor between the
Pilot house and quarantine wharf this
morning The body had been in the
water but short time apparently, and
although there were no serious wounds
on the body, the police are inclined to
the theory that foul play of some des-
cription was the cause of his death.
Several of the pilot boat boys saw
the body and notified Captain Dalton
of the quarantine launch, who secured
the remains to pile and notified the
authorities. Deputy High Sheriff Chill
lingworth went to the wharf and had
the body removed to the morgue. A
CORNERS jury was impanelled and, af-
ter viewing the remains, it was decided
to hold the inquest at o'clock Monday
night.
An examination of the body showed
that there were couple of slight cuts
on the top of the head. None of these
are thought to have been sufficient how
ever to have occasioned death, although
they might have been caused by some
sharp instrument hitting the scalp of
the deceased. The officers are inclined
to think that the cuts were caused in
removing the body from the water.
They base their suspicion of foul play
on the fact that the shirt of the dead
man bore evidence that he had a strug-
gle of some caracter. The shirt was
literally torn into shreds and over it
was the mans coat While practically
nothing appears to be known now, of
the mans movements, preceding his
death, the officers are inclined to think
that he became involved in some char
acter of a row, in which his shirt was
badly torn and his body thrown into the
water after he had been knocked un-
conscious.
Lubbock lived with his wife and family
on the makai side of Hotel street be-
tween Punchbowl and Likelike streets.
He expected to receive letter from his
mother yesterday but so far as is now
known he did not get any letter. He
left his house at o'clock in the after
noon telling his wife he was going for
a walk. That was the last seen of him
by his family. The authorities have not
as yet, succeeded in tracing his move
ments, but it is believed the body enter
ed the water at night. 1t is possible of
, course, that the man may have been ac-
cidentally drowned or else taken his
life, although the police are not inclin-
ed to either theory.
Lubec leaves a wife and six children
two OF whom are in New Zealand. He
was about 40 years of age and had been
employed at various vessels and build
ings as a watchman.

DRANK TOO DEEPLY
EFFECT GAVE RISE TO RUMOR oF
SUICIDE.
Nancy Patterson Supposed to Have
Tried to Drive Away the Blues" by
Too Deep PotatiOns.

a rumor was circulated last evening
that Nancy Patterson, the lately di-
vorced wife of w. X. Vida had at
tempted to commit suicide by taking
poison or wood alcohol.
Today the girl lies in a critical con-
dition and shows every evidence Of
wood alcohol poisoning, being, as i'm the
late cases of poisoning by that spirit,
totally blind ........
After her divorce, Miss Patterson Sc
cured a position in a local refreshment
parlor and rented a room in the Arling-
ton Hotel. 1t is understood that she
found the remuneration Inadequate for
living purposes and gave up the posi-
tion on that account receiving assist
ance from a man who seemed parti-
cularly interested in her.
The girl was of a sensitive nature
and is stated to have felt deeply the
Sights sometimes practiced on her by
her girl friends that she had known in
her happier days. In these fits of de-
spondency she got into the habit OF
taking to liquor as a drowning resource
for her troubles and had also become
addicted to the custom, prevalent
among many Hawaiian friends of hers,
of mixing alcohol with sugar and wa
ter and using the mixture as an in
toXicant.
A clerk in a local drug store to whom
sue mas DetH III the ndDlL OF going
when her relapses into spells of drink
ing more than was necessary, made a
tonic of some description necessary,
said this morning, that the girl pur-
chased from him the day before yes
terday twenty-five cents worth of what
he thinks, to the best of his recollec-
tion, was pure alcohol.
He has no positive recollection of this
however and it may have been the more
poisonous article which is always sold
with the printed and verbal instruc-
tions that it is for burning and not
drinking uses. 1t is possible that she
purchased the liquid from other drug
stores.
The inference of many acquaintances
of the unfortunate woman point rath-
er to determination to drown
her dependency in drink rather
than the suicide theory. The idea
advanced by these is that she made the
usual admiXture of alcohol and then,
growing careless and perhaps unable
to distinguish between the bottles, used
the wood alcohol which has caused the
trouble.
No threats of poisoning herself have
been made by the woman and her fits
of blues have generally resulted in
nvtlfhig more than a resolve TO banish
dull care in the cup. The girl has of
late been taking lessons in bookkeep-
ing and type writing to enable her to
take some position that would enable
her to keep herself
She has been removed from the Ar
lington Hotel and is understood to be
receiving the best medical attendance
under the charge of the friend who
has assisted ner to pay her household
expenses thus far. Her ultimate re-
cOvery is considered by the doctors to
be merely n question Of constitution
and the amount of wood alcohol or
methylated spirits taken into the stom-
aCh.
