eyed with wondermens at all of the
proceedings as he sat on his fathers
lap. Finally came the command to
stand up and receive sentence. Arising
and placing the boy on the chair beside
him he listened to the words which were
to send him from the world for period
of five years. Bunkers' face grew
white, but he did not break down, as
was expected he would. He turned to
his wife 'and said nothing while She
wept, but when the boy reached up and
kissed him he broke down and had to
be assisted from the courtroom.

held him dear. Probably Bunkers Is
suffering the less of the three.

DROPPED
REFUNOING BILL
Continued from page one)

for the establishment at Washington
of the principle which that bill repre-
scented than for it's immediate material
benefits. The principle in question is,
that the affairs of Hawaii shall ne con-
sidered as something separate and
apart from those of the other states
and territories,-thatw when we ask an
appropriation or a law passed, it shall
not be considered as asked for in COM
petition with the others. Without this
principle we are constantly on the de-
fensive as well as the offensive at
Washington. The way a law was rush
ed through amending our Organic Act
to allow appeals from the Supreme
Court here without our knowing of il,
shows how we must constantly watch
to defend ourselves. We must also fight
hard for everything we want. To es-
tablish the principle that We are to be
considered separately would have been
very valuable
Though we have lost the fight it has
done US good. 1t has called attention
to our needs and has helped us to get
the things we have been allowed, and
in this way we have been greatly bene-
fitted"
The governor did not appear much
impressed by Delegate Kuhio's words,
hopeful for next session." but said
that Hawaii must try again anyhow.
Discussing the attitude of the Speaker
he remarked that the question of the
authority of the presiding officer Of the
House was one of the great problems
before the American people, 1.-THE
House Is so large, that some sort of a
despotism seems necessary to make II
efficient" said the governor. "And so
the system alternates between one Of
lnefficiency and one in which there Is
complaint that the Speaker has too
much power. The striking of a happy
medium is one Of the problems the Am
erican people have to solve"
The refunding measure was an act TO
set aside 70 per cent of Hawaii's fed
eral taxes, or about 100000 per year,
as a fund to be spent i'm the Territory,
on schools, public buildings. etc. It
was recommended in Governor Carriers
annual report and President Roosevelt
adopted the recommendation I'm his

To Transfer
Old Tug EIeu
SALE MADE SOME TIME AGO TO
LATE LOUIS MARKS TO BE CON
SUMMATED BY GOVERNMENT.

superintendent of Public Works Hol-
Customs Stackable this morning for the
purpose of ascertaining what steps
should be taken toward securing an
enrolment and license for the tug Eleu.
A year or more ago the Territorial
Government sold the tug to the late
Louis Marks under certain conditions.
These conditions provided that the
Territory would be able to give him a
clear title to the tug and to give her
an enrolment and license under the
American flag. The Attorney General
of the United States rendered an OPT
Mon that such transfer of property
could not be made because the tug pro-
perly belonged to the Federal govern
ment as it had been conveyed by the
Republic of Hawaii to the United States
under the Annexation resolution. The
transfer and sale We're consequently
held up.
The present Congress however passed
the following law which permits the
transfer to be made:
IAN Act to provide for the DISPOSE
Ilpll VI Ntl NehLlA plOPNl y IL NlAS u
ritory of Hawaii.
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assent
bled, that all personal and movable
property ceded and transferred to the
United States by the Republic of ia
wall under the joint resolution of an
nexation approved July seventh eight
cen hundred and ninty-e1sht, may be
sold leased or otherwise disposed of in
such manner as many be provided by
the laws of the Territory of Hawaii:
Provided, that all sales, leases, or 9TH
err disposals of property heretofore
made by the said Territory, under the
authority of such laws, are hereby ra-
titled and confirmed, and all moneys or
revenues derived from sales or dis
posals heretofore made, or made under
authority of this act, shall remain the
property of said Territory
Approved, May &c, 1906
1t is now proposed by the superinten-
dent of public works to transfer tine
tug to the firm of McCabe, Hamilton
and Kenny for whom Marks is now said
to have acted when he bought the tug.
The customs authorities will grant
the enrolment and license after the APP
plication win have been advertised so
that any persons, wishing to object to
such action, will have the opportunity
Of making known their objections.

FLEE FROM
THE TIDAL WAVE
tcontih Led from page oneJ

Punchbowl where it would not be far
to get onto the top of Tantalus.
Sure kela, plenty pililSia today"
said one Of the refugees this morning.
"Plenty water come, haoles all drown.
They laugh now wikiwiki they run fast
Punchbowl."
However all of the haoles will not
drown for there are a number of them
that are also going up Tantalus They
however are too cute to let anyone
know their reasons for fear that they
will be laughed at. They are simply
going up into the mountains for a lit
tie summer vacation so they say.
In the Kakaako district perhaps the
fear of the wave was strongest. Any
number of dwellings there this morning
showed the evidence of the credulity
of the native inhabitants, by the large
bundles of clothes and other light
household effects which might be easily
carried which were placed on the la
nails ready for rapid transit to a place
of safety. Many native women were
sitting and standing about as if waiting
for something to happen. Upon be-
ing questioned they all seemed to show
the same faith in the story. Many of
the children and elderly people left
early for the mountains. Many asked
to know who the haole kahuna was
that told of the coming of the wave.
They did not seem to doubt for an in
slant but that the wave was surely
coming and would bring with it death
and destruction as came to San Fran
cisco.
Upon the San Francisco disaster the
natives seem to base their belief that
the wave will wipe Honolulu off of the
face of the earth Anyone they say,
who predicted that misfortune correct
ly cannot be far off when they say a
disaster is coming to this city.
Another general belief among the ma
tives seem to be that if the wave does
not come today that it will surely come
before Sunday. 1t will probably be
several days before the natives all re-
turn to their homes.
The natives at Waikiki also show
great faith in the appearance of the
wave. Early this morning they were
down to the shore in great numbers
for they believe that before a tidal
wave does come the water greatly re-
! cedes. Scores We're on the lookout at
| daybreak this morning for such a sign
that they might have time to escape
the disaster.
1t was reported to Sheriff Brown late
last night that a considerable number
of natives and Portuguese were camped
for the night in the crater of Punch
bowl. They had gone there to be out of
the way in case the tidal wave got
ahead of schedule.

MISSING" PORTERS
SEEN THIS MONTH
CHARLES LUDwIGsEN JR., WHO
RETURNED BY THE VENTURA
SAYS HE SAW THEM RECENTLY.

The missing Kirk Porter and wife,
have been located They were alive
and well in San Francisco and were
seen as late as not more than ten days
ago. News of them was brought yes
terday by Charles Ludwigsen Jr. Mr..
Ludwigsen returned by the S. S. Ven
tura. He is well acquainted with Por-
ter Ludwigsen says that he saw Mr..
and Mrs. Porter riding i'm an automo-
bile on Golden Gate avenue on either
June is or 10. Ludwigsen says that
he did not have the opportunity of
speaking to Porter, for the automobile
was speeding along, but there was no
doubt of the identity of the occupants.
According to t1is J information it
would seem that the report of Mr.. and
Mrs. Porter being missing was mac
curate. Porter and his wife left Ho-
nolulu for the mainland some time ago.
They were in San Francisco at the
time of the disaster and escaped with
out injury. Porter sent word on April
2S that he would send Mrs Porter to
Santa Cruz and he would remain in
San Francisco to look after the ship
ment Of furniture to the Porter Furnl-
ture Company No word has since
been heard from him and fears for him
and his wife were entertained. The
news brought by Ludwigsen should set
at rest any further apprehension on
this score.

THE PLAN TO HELP
SAN FRANCISCO
THE CHRONICLE EXPLAINS THE
SCHEME APPROVED by PREsI-
DENT ROOSEVELT AND SHAW.

The San Francisco Chronicle thus
describes the plan which has been APP
proved by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Shaw by which the federal
government Is to aid San Francisco to
rebuild
Under the law, as constructed by the
Secretary of the Treasury and ac-
quiesced in by Congress after it's at
tention had been officially called to
the ruling, the Secretary has the au-
thority to designate what securities
other than United States bonds may
be accepted from national banks, as
security for deposits Of United States
funds. At the request of the com
mttee which visited Washington, Sec
rotary Shaw has named the 31a per
cent bonds of this city as acceptable
that purpose, and as those bonds
are not taxable i'm California, our ma
tional banks can proftably buy them
and use them for that purpose. That
assures the sale, as fast as needed, of
all the bonds authorized by the peo-
pie and the immediate prosecution of
the work for which they were voted.
incidentally it is a national expression
of confidence in the financial ability
Of this city.
AS was anticipated Congress de-
clined to enact any legislation what
ever in respect to a loan of public
money to be used i'm rebuilding this
city, and neither the President nor any
one else in Washington would con-
slider the question of loan to the
Red Cross Society which was sound
charity as well as sound finance.
Under the law as it stands the Secre-
tary of the Treasury may deposit pub
lie money in national banks upon sat
isfactory security. but that money
must be repayable on demand, al
though in practice reasonable notice
is always given. Under this law Sec
rotary Shaw has agreed to deposit
$1O,O0OO 900 in national banks in this
city, with the understanding that 1t
will not be called during his term Of
office and with the knowledge that it
is intended to be loaned on mortgage
in this city. This is a very proper and
useful thing, and is quite different
from the semi-charitable proposition
which was submitted by our commit
tee.
National banks however, cannot
loan money on real estate, and conse-
quently it will be necessary to organ
ize and incorporate a mortgage COM
pany with sufficient paid-up capital to
make it a solvent concern-$1, 000, 900
is the sum named-which will borrow
this public money from the national
bands. Presumably the lawyers and
financiers know some way to make ma
tional bank money-'which this $40,
100000 will be when deposited,-avail-
able for longtime loans, in which case
money will be as available for mort
gage loans, as any money can be which
is legally subject to call without no.
tice. The mortgagors, at any rate, will
be safe.

DEFENDER IS NOT
THE CRACK SAILER
DID NOT MAKE THE RUN UNDER
NINE DAYS BUT TOOK ELEVEN
DAYS TO MAKE HONOIPU.

Although the schooner Defender is a
smart vessel she can not lay claim to
the distinction of having made the
record passage for this season from
San Francisco to the islands. Des-
pite the attempt to make out that she
came from San Francisco to Ho-
noipu under 8 days, the fact remains
that she did nothing of the kind. She
was II days making the run.
The vessel left san Francisco on June
16 and arrived at Honoipu on June 81
just II days out. Reference to the
San Francisco newspapers will show
that the departure of the schooner
from San Francisco occurred on June
16 and not June IS. The vessel cleared
on June 10 and sailed the following
day.
