This scheme is doomed to failure. The

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-An appeal to
Andrew Carnegie, Miss Helen Gould, Ma

lanthropists Will be issued by the officers
OF the Cooperative Brotherhood at once
asking them to help the movement of the
Brotherhood to establish cooperative
bakeries and provision stores for the poor
in this city.
Bread and provisions are to be sold in
these stores at cost prices. The necessi-
ties of life are to be sold without profit
One thousand dollars toward starting a

II was one of the organizers of the
cooperative movement in Belgium and
have been engaged in work of this Kind
all my life. Neither politics nor religion
has anything to do with our movement.
Workingmen of all religious beliefs and
political opinions are asking to join this
movement. 1t already has strong
trades union backing of 5000 :workmen,
who are ready to carry on this work un-
aided. But at the same time If there
are wealthy philanthropists willing to
aid US we shall jump at any offers OF as
sistance that may come from them With
the capital they have at their command
they could set the cooperative move
ment in this country SO solidly on it's
feet that it would last as long as the ma

TAGAL LEADER
IN NEW YORK
He Would Ra her be an Ameri.
Can Than Their
Slave.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Rafael del Pan
Fontela, a refugee from the Philippine
Islands and first president of the Madrid
junta, has just arrived in New York
from Canada.
Il came here to be free" he explained.
1T was impossible for me to be other
than slave to America when 1 lived
with my wife and five children in Ma
Mia, so have come where 1 won't have
to be subservient. Americans are not
subservient to Americans, and while l
don't approve of the American methods
employed in the Philippines, I'd rather
be a free American than an enslaved
Filipino"
Senior Fontela was a lawyer and editor
IL danila- When the war began he was
Agul-.a dos chief adviser.
Driven out of the Philippines by the
American soldiers, he fled with his wife
and five small children to Madrid. There
he established the first Filipino junta and
was made its president
With an idea that such junta would
flourish in Canada, he left Madrid and
went to Montreal He has been there
for the past several weeks.
You hear so much of American inde-
pendence in Canada" he continued,
that / determined to come here and get
some of it,
Seror Fontela explained that it was
safe for him to return to the Philippines
and resume his law practice and the
publication of his newspaper, were he
willing to swear allegiance to the Stars

ideas on this subject, but in long talk

ne is not decidedly in favor of such
provisions at once. AS he expressed it.
This is a question for careful study"
He said further:
"The matter must be given thorough
study before any action is taken in re-
gard to the municipal form of govern
ment There seems to be great force
in the argument that the taxes of the
people would be increased by forming
municipal governments. Speaking gen
orally, our party favors municipalities.
There is no doubt but that II would be
to the advantage of Hilo to have city
form But before anything is done the
cost must be counted. A large in
crease in taxes would bear most heav-
lily upon the poor people, those who
own their own little homes. This is
just the class to which belong so many
Hawaiians, and we mus i've the mat

that his best plan is to get acquainted

GEAR WORKING
AGAINST WILCOX
The Attorney Thinks That He
Has a Good Law
Case.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 21-That
of Wilcox in the present Congress is
made certain by developments of the
past few days. Attorney Gear, who
will make the protest, has been guar
anteed a hearing by Elections Commit
tee No. of the House and is now pre-
pairing his case. He has, he says, two
horns of the dilemma upon which he
is hanging his case. Should the stand
be taken that there was in Hawaii an
unorganized Territory. as contemplated
in the revised statutes, there will be an
immediate course open, for the prov1-
sion in that case is that the proclama-
tion shall be issued sixty days prior to
the election, whereas in Hawaii. ac-
cording to the local laws, the announce
ment of the Governor was sent out only
forty days before the election date In
the case of the holding that the Ter
ritory was regularly organized, the
matter is more complicated, and there
is no machinery authorized whereby
the election for the delegate may be
held.
Gear will also make a point of the
two marriages of Wilcox, he having al
ready sent to Italy for the full record
in the alleged annulment of marriage
proceedings. He will soon visit New
York in the investigation of this phase
of the matter and will endeavor to have
the source of the reports printed traced.
He is determined that there shall be
nothing left undone that may lead the
committee to declare the seat of the
delegate vacant. Further than that he
says, should the reports from Italy in
dicate that there exists no full divorce,
but only decree of separation, he will

OUR LOCAL
LEGISLATURE
How About the Members Who
Do Not Understand
English?

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 21.-
proceedings of the Hawaiian Legisla-
ture. This is due more than anything
else to the discussion among several
members of Congress of the seeming
conflict of points in the ORGANIC law.
1t is pointed out that while the qualif-
cation of electors and members of the
Legislature is educational and both the
English. and Hawaiian languages are
included, the law requires that the pro-
ceedings of the Legislature must be
conducted in English. There are, ac-
members of that body-elect who can
neither read nor understand the En-
glish language. What will be the out
come is to be watched with interest.
1t is a question raised by some mem
bers as to whether or not the fact that
a member Of the Legislature who does
not understand English, but who shall
vote for, measure which has been
printed and discussed in that language
will not thus furnish good grounds for
Congress annulling that act.
There will also be a chance for the
constituting of the word conducted" ;"
The law says that the proceedings ef
the Legislature shall be conducted" in
English. 1t is the opinion of Wilcox
that this will not preclude the Hawaii
an members from making an address
on the floor Of the houses in their ia
tive tongue. In the act providing for
the government of Porto Rico the word
is used. 1t occurs in the paragraph
which provides for court procee lings.
After covering the ground as TO local
and United States courts, there is a
provision for an appeal to the Supreme
Court of this country, and the provision
is made that all proceedings before
that body shall be Conducted in En-
glish. This is taken by some of the
lawyers who have looked into it to
mean that in all cases to be brought
before the highest court of the land not
only shall the printed briefs be in En-
glish but that any arguments submit
ted must be in that language. This
would preclude any discussions in the
Hawaiian Legislature in other than
the official language.

The Sensational Experience of an
Allan Liner Eastward
Bound.

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-It was a more
than merry Christmas for the 10 pas
sengers on the belated Allan Line steam
er State of Nebraska. Nineteen days out
from the Clyde, eight days overdue, the
Nebraska crept into port here with
smashed lifeboats, demolished light
houses and broken and twisted rails
1t was the first clear day the yoyagers
had seen since December, when the Me-
braska steamed out of Moville, Ireland,
in the face of a gale that swept her
decks.
On board the Allan State liner when
ishe left Glasgow. on December g. were
ten saloon. thirty second cabin and sew
eEty steerage passengers.
Officers and passengers declared the
wreckage on deck gave but faint idea
of the horror of the voyage. Three
times the machinery broke down and
the vessel had to be hove to.
! Gales and head seas swept the ship
from the moment she left Neville at
midnight of December II, the feed pipes
OF the engines gave out, and the Nebras-
ka was hove to for three hours, headed
into the seas washing over her.
! 1t was at this time that wave smash
! ed the two lighthouses containing the
iside-lights. The vessel was rolling and
lifting to the seas or plunging into them
The steerage passengers were all in ter
iTOT ana tE1e CdDln NOydSeTS cluHS u
their berths. The feed pipes were re-
paired and improvised side-lights placed
/ The engines could not force her for
ward at more than three knots an hour
Sometimes she moved less than two
knots. Two of the lifeboats on the port
side forward We're smashed to splinters
on December Is. The vessel logged bu
fifty miles for that twenty-four hours
and for six days she made less thar
ninety miles.
The engines had to be stopped on the
18th to cool some overheated journals
and the next day the main steam-pipes
gave so much trouble another stop ha6
! to be made.
The only one of the crew injured ir
the long voyage was William Thompson
a fireman, who was hurled against tht
deck rails and had two ribs fractured.
/ Captain David Ingram of Vancouver
who has circled the globe twice, was one
of the passengers. He said that thret
times the voyagers felt that all hope
was gone. Not a meal could be servee
/ in the saloon during the voyage.

CAN gDESTROY
WHOLE NAVY
A Terror Of the Seas Which has
Been Invented by a
Yankee.

NEWPORT, r. l., Dec. pa one
man submarine torpedo boat, powerful
enough to desfr0y an entire navy, is the
latest marvel which a board of Naval
experts has been called upon to examine
in Washington.
The new invention is the work of
Thomas j. Moriarty, one of the leading
machinists at the Government torpedo
station on Gnat Island, Newport harbor.
The new boat is to be built to be oper-
ated by one man and it's speed in the
water will be forty-five knots, making it
the fastest craft afioat. The submerging
principle is new, and, according to the
plans of the inventor, it would be practi-
cally impossible for a vessel to discover
its approach.
