MOLOKAI AND
LANAI TRIPS
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES WILL
VISIT THESE ISLANDS THIS
WEEK

The Molokai and Lanai committees
are certain to make their trips to those
islands this week. Reports from Molo-
kai are to the effect that the weather
off the Settlement has been very calm
and landings can readily be made from
the steamers. In consequence of this
news, the legislative committee will
visit the settlement this week The
Lanai committee of the House, will
visit Lanai island, as the trip of that
committee was depqndentl upon the
movements of thei Molokai party.
The Lanai party will leave on the
steamer Claudine on Friday evening
at 5 o'clock, going to Lahaina. From
Lahaina the party will take the steam
err Iwalani for Lanai On the follow
ing evening, the steamer Kinau will
leave Honolulu for the settlement, with
the various members of that party on
board. The Kinau will pick up the
Lanai crowd and both parties will re-
turn to Honolulu early Monday morn
| ing. The trips had to be postponed
earlier in the month, owing to the i'm
possibility of making a landing at the
| Settlement.

FOR
HARBOR WORK
AVAILABLE
APPROPRIATIONS FOR
HONOLULU HARBOR AND HILO
BREAKWATER.

Captain Otwell, United States Army
Engineering officer in charge of harbor,
lighthouse, and army construction in
the Territory, yesteday received official
notification of the appropriations of
100000 each for the construction of
the Hilo breakwater and for the dredg-
ing of Honolulu harbor. The advises
Ialso gives Captain Orwell the authority
to begin at once preparation of the
plans for both projects, which will be
done at once and forwarded to Wash
ington for approval fthe War Depart
ment; following which the detailed spe-
cifications of the work will be made,
and the work commenced.
The sum appropriated for neither of
the projects is sufficient to complete
them, but it is enough to get each OIL
them well under way, when later APP
preparations can be secured and the
work continued
The approximate cost OF the Huo
breakwater will be upwards of $1,000, 600
for its completion, but Captain Orwell
things that the 100000 now available
will be sufficient to about complete the
first leg of the work, or a distance of
$500 feet. This, he says will be a ma
! terial benefit to shipping in the Hno
harbor, by cutting off a part of the
heavy swell which at present make
loading and unloading at that port diff
ticult and expensive.
Regarding the improvements in Ho-
nolulu harbor, the $4OO, 900 for that work
will about half complete the dredging
necessary to be done to carry out the
plans undertaken by the government.
The first appropriation on the harbor
work was the same amount as the pre-
sent, and there remains to be appro-
priated about $SOO,OOO more. The plans
call for depth of approximately 50
feet in the harbor when the work is
completed.

school teachers, which could never be
repaid during the natural life of the
present members of the House. The
pension fund was but inadequate re-
cognition of the loving and faithful
work which the unselfsh servants have
performed and are performing He re-
called several teachers to whom he
owed his early education, and who had
been in constant service for from 80
to 40 years. They deserved the PEN
sion
Rice declared the bill to be only a
form of mutual benefit society mas
much as the teachers themselves were
to furnish the larger part by contribu-
tions from their own salaries The
Territory, he said would only furnish
about $1,000 to the fund, and he held
it to be a mere sop. He felt that an
adequate pension, if any should be
given. and moved to defer action until
next Thursday, after the appropriation
bill had been passed.
Pail seconded the motion to defer the
consideration of the bill.
Hughes took exception to the argu-
ments of both sides of the question, be-
lieving that both sides displayed an un-
usual dull mentality in their reasoning
He didn't believe any one class was
more important to civilized society
than another, and he felt that the time
would come when this would be re-
cognized. and when every old man
will receive support in his declining
years. He proposed to support the
bin because it is a progressive act. He
wasn't sure that it would not be vetoed,
but it is a good bill even If it is vetoed.
Long, in closing the debate in sup
port of his bill .refuted Hughes init
nation that the bill would be vetoed by
reading from the Governors message
in which a measure was advocated. He
also read a list of teachers whom he
said were at present time eligible for a
pension under the act, as follows:

IN POWERS TRIAL

Georgetown. Ky. Nov. 26.--In the
trial Of Caleb Powers yesterday,

ity OF four OF the jurors who are

venire. and rode in buggy with ii.
w Green, the brother-in-law OF Pow
ers, advising and aiding him in the
selection of venire, and that two
qualified jurors were summoned by
placing themselves in the way OF the
sheriff on their advice. other affi-
davits quoted Wayland and John H..
Ferguson. another juror. as having
said that II selected on a jury they
would clear Powers regardless OF law

waged in the effort to remove the
jurors.
James Howard, serving life term

bel, was brought here yesterday In
compliance with an order of the
court, to confer with Powers and his
attorneys.

the day of the Goebel killing that
Goebel ought to have been killed and
that the senator would be killed be,
fore night, or that, II on a jury. he
would clear the man who killed Goe-
bel. He had said. though, that he
did not believe that Goebel would
ever take his seat as governor and
bet drink on 1t.
John II. Ferguson denied any
recollection Of having said that Jack
Chinn killed Goebel.
Juror James w. Elliott adprttted
that he had said in Williamstown
last Thursday that "if ] get on that
jury will acquit Powers"
