BattIeShip
Oregon Here
From Orient
BULL DOG OF THE NAVY ARRIVES
FROM THE ORIENT TO co OUT
OF COMMISSION ON THE COAST.

After nearly four years of hard SER
vice on the Asiatic station the U. S.
Battleship Oregon is now on her way
home to go out of commission. ShJ
arrived off port this morning from the
Orient after an uneventful trip. She
came into the harbOr about 10:30 a. m.
just before very interesting ceremony
at the Naval Station occurred, when
Rear Admiral Lyon raised the flag of
his grade. The Oregon left Yokohama
twelve and half days ago. She went
into dry dock at Hongkong in order to
enable her to make the trip to this
port. She then went to Yokohama be-
fore coming to Honolulu.
The vessel last visited Honolulu in
1903 when she was with Admiral Evans
fleet. She went out to the Orient orr
ginally in 1902 and has been on duty
ever since. 1t was while bound to the
Orient from Honolulu that she encoun-
tered a severe hurricane that nearly
sent her to the bottom. She sustained
damage, it is thought, that eventually
necessitated her going out of commits
sion for a complete overhauling.
Most of the officers aboard the vessel
were sent to her for the purpose of
taking the vessel home. Captain ]. p.
Merrell, her commander has been in
command of the vessel for over year.
Ensign G. j. Roweliff has also been
with the vessel some time. Three of
the officers, Ensigns f. c. Martin, c.. S.
Kewick and F. ]. Marquart, were with
the vessel when she passed through
Honolulu in 1902. The vessel carries a
crew of COL men and 35 officers. She is
going to San Francisco from Honolulu
as she has to discharge a quantity Of
ammunition tai en- from the Cavite
naval yard The ammunition is dam
aged.
The vessel c4.rries probably the long
est homeward penant in the navy. 1t
lis 554 feet in length and is made of
silk. The pennant, Jack and ensign
were purchased by the ships crew in
Japan and win be presented to the An
napolis Naval Academy when the YES
sci goes out Of commission. The Ore
gon will take on about 1000 tons of coal
and will remain in Honolulu about -four
or five days. She will go from San
Francisco to Bremerton.
Her officers are as follows: Captain
III. p. Merrell, commanding; Lieut.
Comdr. w w. Buchanan, executive Of
ficer; Lieut.. -Comdr. S. d. Muier chiei

e Beef Trust
Harmless
Say Counsel
NO SHOWING THAT WOULD-BE
BY ALLEGED COMBINE.

The argument for the government
began this afternoon in the beef trust
case in Judge Dole's court after S. II.
Derby had closed for the respondents,
in support of the special demurrer filed
by Kinney, McClanahan and Cooper.
Derby argued that there was no law
i'm the Territory against a monopoly,
and that unless it was shown that
there was a conspiracy of the res
pondents which shut out third parties
and prevented them from doing busi-
ness no case could be sustained.
Judge Dole asked a question as to
whether the combination must be a
malevolent one, in order to be legally
lscubject to an injunction. Derby,
Wilmington and Ballou all replied set
TALLY agreed that a combination is res
traint of trade, i'm order to be subject
to injunction, must shut out persons
who would like to engage in the trade
and must therefore be a malevolent one
1t was claimed that the alleged "beef

j. j. Dunno, arguing for the govern
ment, began with a discussion of the
decisions in other recent trust cases
decided by the United States Supreme
Court. The case will probably be sub
mited on briefs this afternon or to-
morrow.

REPLACING DEFECTIVE
SHEATHING ON PILES
DIVER AT WORK AT THE BREWER
WHARF-LARGE NUMBER OF
SHEETS HAD TO BE REPLACED

The diver is at work replacing the
defective copper sheathing at the new
Brewer wharf with new sheets. The
examination of the sheathing was
finished some days ago. 1t was found
that over 400 sheets of the copper were
defective. The fault was not with the
local contractors it is stated, but with
the manufacturers of the material.
This is the first defective material Of
the kind that has ever come to Homo
lulu. The expense will be quite heavy
but it is likely that the local contrac-
tors will try to put the expense on the
concern from which the copper was
secured.

RAISED HIS FLAG
AS Rear ADMIRAL
A CEREMONY AT NAVAL STATION THIS MORN
ADMIRAL LYONS TWO
WHITE STARS FLOATS THE FLAGSTAFF FROM
THE OREGON AND THE MANNING.

About the hagpole near the Eva en-
trance of the naval station office was
the Hawaiian Band, and squads of
marines and jacl1ies from the naval
station. Promptly at II o'clocl4a the
small blue flag with the two white Stars
of the rear admral's rank was hoisted
to the strains of the Stars and Stripes
march by the band Admiral Lyon was
at once the recipient of congratula-
tons from all sides.
The instant that the flag was raised
the guns at the naval station began a
salute of thirteen guns the salute to a
rear admiral. Immediately following
the salute from the naval station the
guns from the battleship Oregon
burst forth into the rear admirals
salute. The naval station guns then
replied with a salute of seven guns to
the Oregon and following were heard
thirteen guns of salute to Admiral Ly-
on from the revenue cutter Daniel
Manning. The battleship had come in
to the harbor just a few minutes time
before the flag was raised and her
presence added to the brilliancy of the
affair
Following the salutes the band gave
a concert of popular airs up to noon
when the guests departed.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-03-20

In the presence of a representative
gathering of official am social Homo
lulu, Admiral Henry w. Lyon, the COM
mandant of the Naval Station, raised
his flag as rear admiral this morning
at the station. The affair was very
brilliant event and incidentally was of
particular interest, for it was the first
affair of the kind that had ever been
held in Honolulu. The ceremony oc-
CURED at II o'clock.
But before that time the grounds of
the naval station were thronged with
the guests that had been invited by Ad-
mral and Mrs. Lyon. In addition to
the officers of the naval station, there
were officers from the battleship Ore
gon that had just arrived this morning
from the Orient, representatives from
the army the local consular corps,
Acting Governor Atkinson, various Ter
ritoral and Federal officials and large
numbers of the social set of the city
present to attend the ceremony.
The naval station offices and lanais
has been decorated with flags of for
eign nations. About the lanais were
tables from which light refreshments
were served. The visitors occupied
seats on the lawn under the trees of
the station. Admiral Lyon and Mrs,
Lyon received the guests.

SAY DREOGER
DID DAMAGE
CLAIMED THAT ONE OF CORNER
PILES ON NEW WILDER WHARF
' WAS PULLED LOOSE SUNDAY.

1t is said that the dredger Pacific did
some damage to the new Wilder wharf
Sunday afternoon. The dredger which
had been operating in the upper sec
tion of the harbor attached line, it is
claimed, to the piles on the Waikiki
makai corner of the Wilder wharf. The
strain was too great for the pile and
it was pulled loose. The government
officials were satisfied that the pile had
been pulled out by the dredger Pacific,
so it is proposed to have the pile re-
placed and charge the damage to the
dredger.

MORE POINTS IN DEFENSE OF

THIS MORNING.

The defense in the Johnson murder
case proposes to attack the confession
made by johnson and claim that it
was secured by duress. In fact some
sensational claims Of torture inflicted
on the prisoner may be advanced as q
part of the general defense, Johnson
It will be remembered, made a COM
plete statement of how he killed the
Wharton boy, very soon after being ar
rested. During the examinations OF
jurors this morning Attorney Harrison
for the defendant stated that the tom
fession would be attacked as made
under duress.
The question Of whether unusual at
rocity in a homicide is evidence of in
sanity on the part of the slayer, was a
good deal discussed this morning In
Harrisons questions to the jurors. One
juror was held disqualified yesterday
on account of his belief that any per-
