Before some hundred or more invited
guests at the Diamond Head home of
the Prince and Princess Kawanana-
koa, Freear, an English comedian, pre-
scented last evening an entertainment
which he called "Frlvolities." Accord
ing to the program, which was printed
on satin, Freear has given his enter
tainments before the Sultan of Turkey.
the King of Siam, the Maharajah of
Patiala, the Maharajah Scindla, Lord
'Damrong, who Is said to be all right
in spite of his name. and many other
lesser and more celebrated rulers of the
world.
The entertainment was given in a
large tent erected on the lawn on the
makai side of the house. There was a
raised stage at one end of the tent,
and small retiring room at one side.
Freear opened his entertainment by
giving an imitation of Christy's Min
strels, and closed the minstrel part by
playing on what looked to be an
elongated hat rack.
Further he gave an imitation under
the name of THE Foreigner" also
Timothy in Hard Luck" and recited
several humorous selections. After the
entertainment light refreshments were
served.
Among the invited guests were Gov
ernor and Mrs. Dole. Col. and Mrs.
Sam. Parker. Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Gil
man, Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Halves and
about a hundred others.

HARBOR WORK
BEING PLANNED

For the last week there have been
numerous surveys made of the harbor
and the channel and many soundings
have been taken preparatory to the
work which the Board of Public Works
intends to do improving the harbor
and reorganizng the wharf system.
Mr.. Taylor has had charge of the
soundings in the channel and on the
bar. There is now about thirty feet
of bar water at low tide and it Il
proposed to deepen the bar at least
three feet. Mr.. Weston has had charge
of the soundings in the harbor. He
ound that considerable sediment has
come down the Nuuanu stream and
filled up the harbor in some places,
but the soundings will not be fully
completed for at least q month.
The carrying out of the work pro-
posed will make a considerable change
in the appearance of the waterfront
from Fort street to the Naval Station.
No estimate OF the money necessary
to carry out the work has been fis-
ured upon yet as 1t will all depend up
the Legislature. The authorized bonds

Is proposed to cut slips extending back
as far as Allen street where the Rapid
Transit waterfront line now runs SO
that all the wharves as far as Fort
street will be on line with the pres

the present esplanade will be obliter-
ated and new one will be formed on
Allen street.
1t will necessitate the removing of

bly, some of the lumber yards. To.

HOME SEEKERS
ON THE GROUND

e. S. Boyd, Commissioner of Public
Lands, has received calls recently from
several people who had written to him
from the mainland regarding land for
settlement. They introduced them
selves, as rule, with the information
that they had received the Commits
sioner's circulars sent in answer to
their letters of inquiry.
The visitors were furnished with lists
of available homestead lands, and Mr..
Boyd presumes that they lost no time
in going to the localities indicated for
a look over the ground.
Until executive council meetings are
resumed there will not be much actiy-
ity in land matters.

on any question. We have an excellent
constitution and system of laws, which
our supreme court declared gave to
our white people all the power and
privileges which the United States con-
stitution would admit. A better un-
Outstanding and enforcement, is more
desirable than radical change, espe-
cially along lines which have been pre-
viously attempted, with uniformly
disastrous results. Our general ma
terial conditions are the most favor
able of any period since 1860.
AS far as my individual action goes,
1 shall take the two candidates at their
word, and be altogether governed by
measures and not by men and unaffect-
ed by recent campaign incidents.
My vote shall go to the candidate
who best represents conservatism and
who would be least willing to tear
down the racial safeguards of our pre-
sent constitution until after something
feasible and superior, to be erected
in its stead, is laid before and approved
by the people of our state.
The chief aim of the primary election
law is to take from those who held
high Official positions the power of US
ing the prestige of those positions or
control election for other Offices, and
thus to defeat temptations and OPP
portunities, for ringism and bossism;
and to give to every individual voter
the right to an equal expression of
choice for every Office. The issues
now before the people have been fairly
and thoroughly discussed, and popu-
lar verdict has been rendered in favor
of conservatism by an overwhelming
majority, considering that with two
candidates this was the paramount
question.
l am not in and have never been in
any combination with any candidate
for any Office, and have nothing to ex-
pect from the next administration
other than what will be shared by all
citizens alike. E. F. NOEL.

VARDAMAN AND CRITZ
Will Run It Over in the
Second Primary.
THE VOTE by QUANTITIES FOR SENk-
TOR AND GOVERNOR.
Vardaman'S Friends DISCOURAGE at His
Small Vote---Up Against a Hard
Proposition.

As forecasted in last Saturdays
Leader, there will be a second race
for Governor between Vardaman
and Critz, they being the two
gubernatorial candidates who re-
ceived the highest vote in the first
primary. Vardaman's supporters
had confidently predicted his nom
nation on the fist ballot, either
by majority of the popular vote
or majority of the electoral
vote, and were greatly disap-
pointed and set back by his small
lead over Critz.
We publish below the vote by
counties for U. S. Senator and
Governor, which is substantially
correct. Of the popular vote Var
daman received 80, al; Critz,
IS, Alb, and Noel, 1928. In
other words Critz and Noel to-
gether received 1905 more votes
than Vardaman. A large proper
ton of Noel's vote will undoubt:
eddy 60 to Critz, and therefore
Major Vardaman's defeat in the
second primary is a foregone con.
clusion. From now on his fight
will be a hopeless one.

MR.. NOEL'S POSITION.
Holmes County's Candidate Tells His
Friends OF His Gratitude.
DECLARES HE WILL VOTE FOR CpITz.
SUGGESTS That They Review the Situation
and Act on Their Own Judgment.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. Ex-senator
Noel reached the city this morning.
His friends informed him that Var
daman's supporters we're circu-
lating the report that he (NoeD had
telegraphed Vardaman that he would
give him vote and support. In reply
to this Senator Noel stated that he had
had no conference with the friends of
either Vardaman or Critz, and if it was
of any concern to anybody who he
would vote for he would say without
hesitancy that he stood for the same
measures that he advocated in the can
vass and entertained the views that he
has publicly declared.
II shall vote for Judge Critz for
Governor" said he, "and in doing so 1
believe that represent the views ex-
pressed by me throughout the state
and upon which expression I received
the Endorsement of about $4,000 voters
scattered all over the State, and repre-
senting and including many of the
best people who are now living in
the world"
Later in the day Senator Noel gave
out a signed statement, which follows
To Mi ssissippians:
The first primary election is thing
of the past. Of the popular vote as
given to me, I received 22,005, Judge
Critz 34,302 and Mr.. Vardaman $3.50.
This may not include every county but
is approximately correct. The cleo
toral provision of the primary law, to
which always objected, and which the
next legislator ought to eliminate,
has no application.
A second primary for the Governor
ship and direct expression by ma
jority vote, is, am glad to say, legally
required. My Organization, far less
thorough than that of either of my
competitors, enabled their supporters,
through combined efforts directed to
that end, to keep me out of the second
- Ny SAO0VAhS a 6AOoo. uAdcI-
estimate of my strength.
To my friends throughout Mississip-
pi, including many of the best people
who live, who treated me with the ut
termost kindness and hospitality, owe
and gladly acknowledge debt of un-
dying gratitude. The remembrance of
their good will and help will also be
fondly cherished.
Being now out of the race, want all
to understand that in this contest /
claim nothing from my former sup
porters, as such. The debt is all in
their favor. Any considerable major
ity Of my supporters can easily deter
mine the next Governorship and on
them the responsibility rests. Before
action, I suggest that each calmly and
truly review the whole situation, then
act according to the dictates of his
indRment.
AS my own position is being vari-
ously quoted and misquoted. in justice
to myself, I desire my friends every
where to know that the primary has
not in the slightest changed my views

THE SEMI-WEEKLY LEADER.

The short experiment of pub
fishing The Leader twice-a- week,
instead of once, has met with such
general favor and encouragement,
we have decided to make the Semi
weekly permanent. The paper
will continue to appear regularly
hereafter on Wednesdays and Sat
urdays. Publication of matters of
local interest will be a distinguish
ing feature and we shall endeavor
to cover this department of news
better than it has ever been done
before in any paper published in
Lincoln County. With a large
bona-fide subscription list which is
constantly growing, the paper also
furnishes a superior advertising
medium to our business men.
To all subscribers, present and
prospective, we wish to say that
the subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Leader will be $500 a
year, payable in advance, which
is just 50 cents more than the
weekly. Subscribers who prefer
to continue their subscriptions at
the old price and receive the paper
once a week can do SO by giving
us due notice; but we think all
will find it more satisfactory to
pay $500 and get the paper twice
a week. At 5000 year the cost
is only 50 cents quarter, and
good local paper as large as The
Leader twice a week is we'll worth
that to every man in the county.

The Pittsburg Gazette Of April !
had the following, relative to former
resident of Bennington:
"Dexter j. Thayer of Allegheny,
was yesterday appointed by Gov PEN
nvpacker to the Office of boiler inspec-
tor of Allegheny county, the position
held by William Bell. Bell was ap-
pointed about a year ago. Since it
was known that new appointment
was to be made, there has been a live
ly contest for the place, about u ap-
plications being made for it. Among
those who took the most active part in
the contest were George Boil, Perry
Young, Parker L. Walter and f. j.
Clark.
oThe appointment holds good for
two wears. The boiler inspector ap-
points chief deputy and three or four
assistants. The position is a remun-
erative one.
"The new incumbent of the Office is
nv trade an oil driller. Mrs Thayer
is a niece of Senator Quay. The
Thayers live at No. 1902 Ridge-aye,
Allegheny. This is Mr. Thayer's first
political position. In politics he has
been independent, but was with the
Citizens party in the recent cam
paign."
Mr. Thayer is a brother Of Mrs L.
d. Hamlen of this village and lived
here for some time.
