TIE LOCAL STEAMER IDEA

Why should not the business men
Of Honolulu operate steamer between
Honolulu and San Francisco or any
other port Of the Pacific Coast?
There seems to be a tendency to dis
russ this proposition in whispers. Pos.
sibly this is because very important
agencies are interested in the lines OF
steamers now calling at this port, but
why this should cause fear and trem.
bling is beyond the average mans un.
Outstanding.
OF course the present steamer lines
are entitled to consideration. There is
no reason however why they should be
looked upon as having a mortgage Oh
the business soul of the community
II the mortgage is implied they'll take
II quickly enough. That's one of the
characteristics of transportation lines
local or foreign.
The business men of the town believe
that the steamer service can be improv,
cd in one way or another. They want
tourists. At present they are playing
second fiddle to the through line com
panies that would carry through pas
sengers in preference to stopovcrs. Ii
there any crime involved in the con
temptation of line that will be for
Hawaii first, last and always?
Some seem to think that as n mat
ter of business courtesy those now
operating ocean steamers should first
give sanction to a local enterprise
They can't mean It.
Did the excellent freight steamer:
that have been put into the local ser
vice ask the permission of owners Of
the local sailing vessels to come into
this field?
Local capital for many years found
profitable investment in these sam,
sailing vessels. Is there any reason
why, when profits are reduced, Homo
lulu should stick with bigoted tenacit,

WRI! Of MANDAMUS
AGAINST
REGISTRAR MERRIAM

The United States of America, by
District Attorney r. w. Breckons this
morning filed petition for writ of
mandamus against Chas. H. Merriam.
as registrar of conveyances of the Ter
ritory, to command him to receive for
record the deed OF the Warehouse es-
tate premises at Waikiki, which were
secured by the United States through
condemnation proceedings. Judge
Dole ordered the writ issued.
The petition sets forth that the
United States In February, 1905,
brought action against the estate Of
Henry Warehouse ct al. and obtained
a judgment of condemnation of the
property sought. Tn. defendants in
this suit thereafter, in order to fur.
Their complete the title Of the United
States to the premises, made deed
conveying them to the United States.
This instrument was in every re-
spect executed and acknowledged in
the manner prescribed by the law Of
the Territory.
II is further shown that Merriam, az
registrar, has the duty Of recording all
instruments relative to real estate In
the Territory, which are made up In
due form, but that he, when the In
struments referred to were offered for
record accompanied by the fee, refus'
ed to record them.
II is shown that the action Of Mer-
fam is contrary to law and Cypress
HSe to the petitioner and an order far
a writ Of mandamus is prayed for com
handing Merriam to record the instru.
ments, or show cause why 1t has not
been done.

KNOCKERS COMPACT CAMPAIGN

The Knockers Compact in the course
of its merry run to give the town OF
Honolulu as bad a name as possible
announces that the hackmen of the
city are being robbed and ruined, and
the outside districts are running wild
with gambling games.
In support OF this assertion 1t quotes
the statement of a gentleman of some.
what excitable religious beliefs. High
Sheriff Henry has been seen. The
scullion expert finds that crap games
are operated when the police are not
looking Gambling games are going on
in other parts of the island as they
have gone on in days without number.
This is magnified with knockish glee
into a representation of an unbroken
circle Of dives and degradation.
The tendency Of all this may be the
creation Of a home for the innocent
