PLATT AGAINST HIGGINS.
Senator's Attack Causes Sensation
Among Republicans.


Among Republicans.
New York, Oct. 2.-Senator Thomas
9. Platt declared war last night on
Governor Higgins. saying he was UNI
compromisingly opposed to his renomi-
nation. His attack caused a sensation
among the Republican leaders.
He advised Timothy L. woodruff to
run for mayor on the Republican tick.
ct and expressed the belief that the
Republicans would carry the state
next fall despite the expected victory
of Mayor Mcclellan in the municipal
campaign
Senator Platt came from Washing
ton, where he saw President Roosevelt
on Saturday, and went to the New
Gotham hotel, Fifty-tifth street and
Fifth avenue, where he will make his
home in future when he is in this city.
His health appeared to be excellent,
and he spoke with vigor and decision.
81 am against Governor Higgins for
another term under any and all cir
cumstanees," he said, land l mean

him to my friends throughout the state
when he was candidate for governor,

him. That was that he approve the

THE United States Civil Service Re
tirement Association, with headquar-
tiers in Washington, has issued cir
cular with view to having local
branches established whenever there
are ten men in government employ.
The object Of the associat on is the
gathering Of statistics relative to the
age, salary and length of service of
government employees, and such other
data touching the retiring of the SUI
perannuated, as will lead to the draft
ing OF a suitable bill to be presented to
Congress for the pensioning Of the lat
ter without any expense to the govern
ment. There are, it is estimated, TO-
600 persons in the service of the United
States government of whom nearly 15,-
600 are members Of the above associa-
tion, and If all will unite they can at
very little annual expense to each pro-
vide living pension for every one who
in course Of time becomes superan-
nuated. The tenure of office in the
Civil Service being now well assured,
there is no reason to apprehend that
the fund proposed to be created will
ever prove inadequate for the purpose
intended. OF course much viii depend
upon what provision Congress shall
make in the bill the association will
ask to be passed. But the object of
the association is wise, and should
have Incorporation Of every employe
of the government. +.

which showed 3,4sl population in 1900;
Layellette City in Ocean, which
showed 81 population in 1900, and
West Milford in Passaic, which had
Zip in 1900.
Estimating the missing municipali-
ties at the 1900 figaro the total popu-
latioD is 2,143, $780,
Several Of the counties now haye a
population as large as that of the
whole State in revolutionary times,
even some of the cities could supply
a larger population than the State
had at that time.

THERE seems to be considerable
misapprelension in regard to the ac-
tion Of the Republican County Con-
vention on the Morris Canal abandon
ment measure and some Of the State
papers are devoting space to the posi-
BILE break in the party here in regard
to it. A comparison of the platforms
of last year and Of this year will show
that the principles enunciated remain
substantially the same. Last year it
was declared:
/" We are opposed to the abandon
ment of the Morris Canal in the inter-
ests of any private corporation and we
pledge our candidates for Senator and
Assembly to such legislation as VIII
preserve and protect the rights OF the
people in reference thereto.
This year the platform says on the
subject:
Believing that the time has ar
rived when the interests of the people
would be best subserved by the aban-
donment of the Morris Canal, we de-
clare in favor of such abandonment,
providing the same may be accom-
plished so as to preserve the rights OF
the people therein"
I" We declare In favor Of the reServa-
tion of Lake Hopatcong and. its waters
to the Counties of Morris and Sussex,
and are opposed to the use Of the
waters Of Lake HOpatcong by any pri-
vate corporation, and demand that
the lake shall be preserved to the pub
lic.'
The principle is the same in each
case. III the canal cannot be retained
as water way, and there seems little
prospect Of that being accomplished,
the interests Of Morris County would
be better served by the abandonment
of the canal, provided abandonment
can be secured on such terms as will
protect the interests of the State, the
municipalities Through which the
waterway passes, and of the property
owners along the stream.
The Morris County representatives
are pledged to such action as will take
care of the interests Of the people Of
the county in every way.

Mr.. YOON'S MISSION
TO THE MAINLAND

Mr.. Mkt Saito, japanese Consul
afternoon through the courtesy of the
Rev. Mr.. Wadman.
The Koreans were at the pastors
residence, the names of whom are
Yoon Ping Koo Hymn Soon and PAX
Yoon Sup. Mr.. Yoon said he was in
tending to go to the United States,
chiefly to ask the public for contribu-
lions for the establishment of churches
and schools among the laborers of Ha-
wall. He stated that the newspapers
had somewhat misunderstood his con-
templeted trip to the mainland: but
that he was only DESTROYS to be near
the conference which will go on be-
tween the peace commissioners of ia
pan and Russia.
Mr.. Saito gave encouragement and
appreciation to Mr.. Yoon for his be-
nevolent desire to establish schools and
churches, but gave him to understand
that his presence at the peace confer
ence would be impossible; that the
conference would admit those high
plenipotentiaries only who were COM
missioned by their respective govern
ments; that Mr.. Yoon would necessar-
lily have to entrust these affairs of
state to his envoy at Washington. Tho
meeting of the peace conference Is of
an extraordinary nature, and the sub
jects of neutral countries have no
right to be there.
Mr.. Yoon appears to be quite an In
telligent young man, and Immediately
corhprehended Mr.. Saito's standpoint.
He will leave here about the 29th In
slant. and will carry with him letter
of introduction to the members Of the
Japanese Legation at Washington.

OUR SIDE INDUSTRIES.

On several occasions the News has
mentioned editorially and in the news
columns various industries which have
sprung up from time to time and which
not only enhance the commercial
value of our island, but gives employ
ment to the poor class. In the case OF
the Haiku Fruit and Packing Co. 1t not
only employs many hands in the fac
tory, making cans and boxes, and in
the preserving of its product, but af-
fords lucrative livelihood to our resi-
dents. The samples OF pines exhibited
this week are good. not exceptional
specimens of the fruit grown at Haiku
and used as the canned article. 1t is
no wonder, nor nothing extraordinary,
that this fruit should have an un-
limited demand on the Pacific coast It
has been said that the sugar loaf or
smooth Cayenne grown on the Hawai-
ian Islands are far superior in flavor
to the same species grown in Florida
or Ceylon, and surely those grown at
Haiku bear out the allegation. What
has been made possible in pines IL
equally possible in rubber, sisal. ETC.

OHEDGER GOVERNOR
IS ALMOST HUMAN

The great dredger Governor which
Is eating out the new Alakea street
slip with its huge steel NAV, is a
source OF interest not only to idlers.
but to business men and those inter-
ested directly in machinery. Since
beginning on the slip week ago the
dredger has worked night and day and
has worked gradually into the slip.
THE big dfpper is now working aboutN
a third of the way up the slip, but this
of course does not mean that the Dip
per has dredged down to the depth re-
quired.
The contractors are working the
dredger along taking out the mud and
dirt on the surface. Later on they
will strike into the reef coral which
overlies n strata OF sand.
The pontoons which are to be used
In blasting out the hard coral are be-
ing put in condition to commence the
work of drilling holes into which Ia
inch dynamite sticks will be inserted
The reef will then be blasted. the pom
toon following the dredger up to the
end Of the slip. The dredger will then
be shifted back to the harbor front
line and will then scoop up the blasted
coral.
The engineering of the big dipp..' %.
the dredge is being done by Mr.. Schoo-
ley, an expert, who was sent out to
Lord & Belser the contractors by the
Marion Steam Shovel Company. of
To- ~ h. r., tz.l
the dredger machinery. Nothing has
gone wrong on the dredger since 1t be-
gan work. The great SCOOP with its
chilled steel teeth works in manner
to suggest almost human intelligence.
The dipper goes up and down, side
ways and any old way by the slightest
pressure of a lever and when It begins
to tear up coral on the bottom Of the
slip, the coral simply gives way. Two
dippersful are sufficient to load a car.
The dredged-out material Is being
hauled on dump cars by locomotives to
the Immigrant Station site where the
mud fats are being filled in. When
this Is finished the Immigrant Station
will rest on dry land.
Mr.. Harris representative OF coast
dredging concern, which has bid in
for the dredging of the harbor and
channel under a Federal appropriation,
watched the dredger at work yesterday
afternoon and expressed his satisfac-
ton at seeing the scoop doing work.
which other dredgers here could not
have accomplished without prellmin-
airy blasting.
Yesterday afternoon the scoop
brought up some very heavy timbers.
bolted together. These are believed to
have been a portion Of pontoon used
long ago. q

TAT I TALKS
TO CARTER

Information leaking out as part
of the aftermath of the Taft visit is
to the effect that the great War Sec
rotary had some pretty close heart to
heart talks with Governor Carter in
San Francisco. Among other things,
it is said that the Secretary advised
Carter, on his own account, not to in
sist upon his resignation when he saw
the President. Secretary Taft is said
to have been particularly urgent in
this.
"For," he is quoted as having said,
Hthe President does not want any de.
sertions of the ship at this particular
time.
And, in fact, it seems that Taft
spoke by the card with reference TO
the Carter resignation, for it is said
that the President had commissioned
Taft to say precisely that thing u
Carter. More than that, Taft is quot
ed as having said that Carter would
not be three minutes in the presence
of his chief before he would be once
more ready to take up the burden of
state and carry his share of it.
Whether he would take it up at once,
or whether he would take rest first,
would be matter to be determined
later.
OF course, if Taft had commission
to talk plainly to Governor Carter in
behalf of President Roosevelt, it is al
together likely that the Governor did
not insist upon his resignation when
he finally saw the President. And that
would have made the consultation be-
tween the chief of the nation and his
appointee much more pleasant, as be-
ing upon the basis that Carter meant
to come back as Governor, and merely
wanted further instructions as to the
desire of the President in the admin
istration of Territorial affairs.

HAS OAHU
ANYP0L|CE2

And now 1t Is Senator Achi who has
is expected to turn Judge Whitney's
hair to snow-white. Senator Achi was
arrested on complaint of Lau Yin, who
says the senator tore down his fence
in Palama. 1t is a neighborly quar-
rel. all over fence, blu the legal ques-
ton raised is one which may get into
the Supreme Court and even strike at
the validity Of the County Act. Who
knows?
Senator Achi is Of the opinion that
no police officer in Honolulu has the
right to make an arrest. He claims
that all police officers, under the law,
must be commissioned by the high
sheriff of the territory. High Sheriff
Henry, on retiring from active control
OF the police force of Honolulu at mid
night on June 80 revoked all commits
sions of police officers.
At one minute past IL o'clock on
the morning of July /. when the County
Act went into effect, the Board Of Su-
pervisors for the County Of Oahu met
and formally by resolution. took over
the police department from the terri
tory, and continued the force as 1t
existed on June 30, for the month of
July. County Sheriff Brown, at the
same time, recommissioned most of the
police officers as members of the force
of Oahu county.
And now Senator Achi comes along,
and putting up a defense for himself
in the case in which he is defendant,
Il les to shake the structure of the
County Act 20 it's very foundations.
Judge Whitney took the case under
sdvisem ent until tomorrow morning.
1t is believed that in the meantime,
more legal heads than Judge Whitney's
will turn the question over.
