ARRIVED YESTERDAY ON THE w
H. DIMOND.
Cost $5.O5O and Can Throw Three Force
full Streams of Water-First Glass in
Everyway.

The new engine for the fire depart
ment arrived yesterday on the barken-
tine w. II. Dimond. The engine is the
one ordered from Cincinnati Ohio, by
the board of fire commissioners the first
of the year. 1t was specially manufac-
tured from plans drawn by the late
Chief Hunt and is in all respects likely
to prove an up-to-date apparatus.
The engine is what is known as first
size. 1t weighs 5000 pounds and has a
capacity of throwing from 1000 to 1,200
gallons a minute. 1t will be able to
throw three powerful streams of water.
The pumps are double acting. One ex-
cellent featuSe connected with the ma
chine is the rapidity with which steam
can be gotten up, as this is one OF the
most essential things about fire en-
gine. Steam can be gotten from cold
water in from three to five minutes
The engine is about the same weight as
No. 5 which is now at the central sta
ton on service in the down town dis
trict.
Chief Thurston will put the new en-
gine into commission without delay
and place it at the central house. His
intention is to keep the new engine for
the down town district and send No. 5
over to the Palama engine house when
that building will have been completed.
The cost of the new engine was S5O50
and it is said to be a handsome looking
apparatus. 1t will be propelled by two
horses. The machine is now closely
packed in a heavy wooden box and the
ungainly looking object attracted con-
siderable attention at the Oceanic dock
yesterday and today. The outfit must
weight between 5000 and 5000 pounds
and it was a good piece of work on the
part of Captain Clark's stevedores and
ships people to get the engine from
the vessel onto the wharf.
The extra hose cart necessary to go
with the new engine arrived recently.
1t has not as yet been accepted by the
fire department. The hose needed was
also received a short time ago. About
5000 feet was laid in stock and this
will, Chief Thurston thinks, be requisite
for the new company. The new engine
will probably be placed on special eXhi-
bition when she is PLACID in commission
at the central engine house on Bereta-
mia and Fort streets.

DISQUALIFICATION OF SUPREME
JUSTICES.
Members of the Bar May Be Called as
Substitutes for Chief Justice Frear
and Justice Perry.

The Supreme Court met at ten o'clock
this morning to listen to arguments Of
attorneys on the question of the dis
qualification of justices who are inter
ested in tide land properties, to hear
cases which involve points that might
affect their property In future. The
court had invited members of the bar to
discuss the qustion. j. A. Magoon, $.
NJ. Ballou, f. M. Hatch and ex-judge
Stanley spoke on the subject.
The case was stated by Chief Justice
Frear who said that there was no
qucsuon as to disqualification on ac-
count of direct interest in the cases be-
fore the court, but because members Of
the court owned or were interested in
property that might be involved in SIM
liar cases. The principal point is that
of the passing of fishing rights with
land titles.
The attorneys who spoke held varying
opinions BallOu and Hatch being of
the opinion that the justices We're not
disqualified, while Magoon and Stanley
thought that there were reasons for
thinking in favor of disqualification,
Stanley especially holding positively
to the view that the justices were not
qualified in the cases under discussion.
Many authorities were quoted.
1t is understood that Chief Justice
Frear and Justice Perry are both con-
cerned on the matter, each owning or
being interested through near relatives
in tide land properties. Should the
court decide that these two members
are disqualified two members of the
local bar will be called to sit with Jus
tice Galbraith and hear the cases in
which these questions arise.

BOAT RACING sensation
MYRTLES MAY MAKE STARTLING
CHANGE.
Rumored About Town Today That
They viii Enter Their Junior Crew in
Senior Event.

There was a well defined rumor about
town today that the Myrtle club had
decided to make a most marked change
in the personnel of its racing teams in
the rowing contests July 4th. This ru-
NOR was to the effect that the junior
team would be advanced to the posi-
ton of senior men while the present
senior team would be thrown out en-
tirely.
This report caused the biggest kind
of surprise and sensation eSOecialiy
among the members of the Healani
club. Various reasons were assigned
for the cause of the proposed change.
Some people notably Captain Jack At
kinson of the Healanis, placed no Gre
dence i'm the rumor. Others were more
credulous thouoh and they accepted the
report as correct
one reason given for the reported
change was the fact that the Myrtle
juniors had shown such marked supe-
riority over the Myrtle senior team
that Captain Judd and his advisers had
determined to supplant the seniors with
the younger crew. While the change
might mean the practical abandonment
of the Junior race the reaL 0hamnion-
ship naturally centers in the senior
event and the Myrtles preferred win
ming that to winning the lesser triumph.
Captain Albert Judd of the MyrtIes
and a member of the senior crew was
asked regarding the report. II do not
care to make any statement regarding
that matter" he said, Il will not either
affirm or deny it, The Myrtle club pro-
poses to put the strongest team in the
race that it can get together. None OF
us know who will race in that event"
Other members of the Myrtle crews
admitted that such change had been
suggested and was under consideration.
If the Myrtle seniors are withdrawn
and the Myrtle juniors substituted for
them, it will mean that the Myrtles
will have to hurriedly make up some
junior team. They can call on Allen
Judd who stroked the juniors last year
and Mclean one of the junior substi
tutes this year. The two remaining
members of the team can no doubt be
selected from the other good material
i'm the club.

WILL BE HOMEsTEADs ALL OVER
COUNTRY.
Immense Government Acreage to be
Offered to Settlers-Probable Effect
on Real Estate Market.

Land Commissioner Boyd states 1t to
be the intention of his department to
throw open all the public lands of the
country to proposals for purchase or
lease, and TO do it right away. Olaa
has already been thrown, and parts of
Hamakua and Kohala lands are also
practically open. The intention is to
follow The opening of these sections
with all the others.
Asked as to why all of the public
land was to be thrown open Mr.. Boyd
laughingly replied: You see we have
. done nothing in land matters for so
long we are afraid Washington authori-
ties will think we are not attending
to it properly and win take it away
from us. Then again the people want
the land and the Territorial govern
ment wants the money"
The latter sentence discloses the real
reason for opening up the lands. With
the failure of the Legislature to pass a
loan bill and the prospect that the in
come tax law may be knocked out, a
situation of ~reat stringency in gov
ernmental money channels seems i'm
minent. 1t is calculated that several
hundred thousands to a million dol
lars can be realized from lands within
the period. This will easily make up
the prospective deficiency and will have
the second effect of bringing home
steads within the reach of large
number of people now seeking them.
1t will be remembered that, with the
exception of the Olaa lots and a few
smaller parcels, there have been nc
transfers of government land in nearly
three years, and that in that time the
crowd of would-be purchasers has gone
on steadily increasing.
An important question in connection
with the matter is the effect the open
ing of so much land will have on the
private real estate market. Mr.. Shin
gle, manager for WaterhouSe d Com
pany, feels sure that it will mean the
moving of a large number of families
in moderate circumstances from Homo
lulu to the country and that they will
carry with them a large total amount
of money that would otherwise be spent
here and serve to keep prices up. Again
it will give newcomers an outlet and
they will no longer be practically OBJ
liged to settle either here or at Hilo.
This view seems to be held by other
real estate men, although none of them
venture an opinion as to the extent of
the effect on real estate prices.

zEALANDIA's REPAIRS.
Chief Keller Says She is Almost
Ready

Chief Engineer Keller has about coIn-
ple,ed the repairs to the starboard boil
er on the Zealandia and the vessel will
sail for San Francisco next Tuesday at
noon. The chief has had to perform
the work with his own men as the union
would not work on the vessel
When the Zealandia had to put back
in distress last Sunday four of the tubes
in the boiler We're leaking. Chief Keller
has removed these and replaced these
with new tubes and i'm addition put two
additional new ones inside the boiler
as he thought that several were needed.
The vessel will not, he says probably
undergo any repairs in San Francisco
this trip but will continue on her run
as she is perfectly able to do it. She
has the certificate from the Federal In
spectors of Hulls and Boilers and with
the exception of the present repairs
necessary to her boilers is all right he
says.

HOUSE COMMITTEE ROW
THE CHANGE IN THE SALARY
BILL.
Monsarrat Resigns and Insists Upon
Immediate Acceptance of his Resig-
nation-A Committee That Never Met.

Representative j. NJ. Monsarrat this
morning resigned from the House print
ing committee on account of the charge
that the salary appropriation bill had
been changed by the committee before
ii was sent to the typewriter, after be-
ing finally passed. Monsarrat said that
he had never known of a meeting of the
committe during this session of the
house, that he had had nothing to do
with it and that he didn't want his
name connected with the kind of talk
that was heard about town regarding
the committee.
Monsarrat said that there were "other
reasons that he did not care to go
into. sneaker Akna did not want to
accept the resignation. He held out
glittering hope that the work of the
session would be over in a few hours,
ana wanted Monsarrat to hold on to
the end
Monsarrat again insisted that his re-
signation be accepted at once. He call
ed attention to the statement published
in The Star last night regarding the
change in the bill, and said that he
didn't want to refuse to remain on the
committee, but requested that his resig-
| nation be accented forthwith.
81 don't care to go into details," said
Monsarrat, after the speaker had again
asked him to continue serving. II tried
to resign during the last session. Now
l nave made up my mind that l cannot
serve any longer on this committee MY
record is clean so far and now l have
various hints cast at me on account of
| committee / have nothing to do with,
because people look at tho list of names
OF the members and see mine among
them. | ask again that my resignation
| be accepted forthwith"
This aroused BeckIey, who said that
| the remarks were a reflection 'on the
| house. He wanted an investigation, by
the house, or by grand jury, if some
Circuit Judge would call one.
Monsarrat said he didn't want to
make any charges but he did want his
resignation accepted at once. Prender-
CAST, chairman of the committee rose
and proposed a committee and an in
vestigation, but the chair took no no.
tice. Akina explained that the change
in the bill had been reported to him
and he had settled the matter with the
chairman of the committee. He final
ly accepted Monsarrat's resignation.
Beckley suggested Hoogs as a substi-
tute but Hoogs didn't want the job
and proposed that the whole printing
committee resign.

HAWAIIAN SCHOOL EXHIBIT
ITS CONTINUED DISPLAY ALL.
ARRANGED FOR.
Miss Dawson viii Return in Accord
ance With the Original Plans Made
When She Left-The Appropriation.

There is no crisis nor emergency,
either in the matter of the Hawaiian
scnOol exhibit at Buffalo, nor in Com
missioner Rose Davison's stay at Buff
falo or return from there" says Sup
erintendent of Public instruction A. r.
Atkinson.
when Miss Dawson left here Il was
with the understanding and eXpecta-
tion that she was to remain away two
months and then return to carry on
her midsummer work. She has made
all arrangements so that after she
leaves, the exhibit will still be kept
open and on display, and at the close
of the exposition will be packed up
ready for shipment and held to the or
der of the Department of Education,
either to be sent to Charleston or st.
Louis or returned here. There is no
hitch in the management or course of
the exhibit, nor anything that was not
forseen and provided for.
'As to $l,500 or any other part of
the appropriation being kept here by
the Department of Education there has
not cent of the appropriation come
out of the treasury yet. The legisla-
ture appropriated $500 but no part of
1t could be gotten out of the treasury
except on warrants issued by the au-
ditor on bills rendered and approved.
Except for freight and transportation
no bills We're incurred before Miss
Dawson left here. In fact the ex-
penses were largely away from here
so that the money had to be in hand
before the expenses We're incurred.
This money could not be gotten out
of the treasury in advance, so the only
way the Commissioner to Buffalo
was provided with the necessary funds
was by the favor of one of the banks
which, on the pledge of Miss Davidson S
credit and my own, and the strength
of the appropriation, advanced $4,000
but would advance no more. When
Miss Dawson sends in her expense aC-
counts they will be audited and war
rants drawn in favor of the bank.
These will be registered and the bank
will have to wait for its money.
Miss Dawson has not been asked
to come home She left to be gone two
months and she is coming back in ac-
cordance with the original plans"

AFTER OFFICER TANAKA
JAPANESE WANT TO DO HIM
UP.
Police Think They Have Discovered a
Well Organized Conspiracy to Sc
riously Injure the Policeman.

Friends of Police Officer Tanaxa the
Japanese member of the local Sol Ce,
are beginning to have foars for his
safety. Evidence of a conspiracy to
do him bodily harm was discovered yes
terday during the trial of two japanese
charged with assault and battery upon
Tanaka. Both of the men, Kimurl aud
Kato, were fined $40 and costs by Judge
Wilcox.
Some time ago Tanaka obtained evil
dence against some Japanese .Ihd
caused their arrest on charges OF SELL
ing liquor without license. They wee
convicted and forced to pay fines Ot
$10O. Naturally this aroused the resent
ment of the people and their friends,
, The Japanese made it their business to
connect Tanaka with the prOsecu, on
of the liquor sellers. The result Was
that some of the more violent element
banded together for the purpose of
doing up" Tanaka.
On Wednesday night a band of them
to the number of fifteen went to Tana-
/ ka's place in Palama and called to
him to come outside as they wanted u
talk with him. Naturally he thought
that some of his countrymen desired to
give him some information " wanted
