A USE FOR THE
FISHMARKET SHED
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
MAY PLACE IT ON SoRENsON's
WHARF.

A plan whereby the steel shed Of
the old fishmarket. oe3ween AlalIea
and Richards street may be placed on
Sorenson's wharf when that wharf has
been repaired to an extent really to
receive a shed structure, is being CDR
sidered by the Department Of Public
Works of the Territory.
Measurements, according to those
who frequent the old fishmarket, nave
recently been taken Oy public works
employees, and it has been found that,
with alterationse which will not lie
very expensive, the old nsnmarket shed
can be made to fit the Sor ausOn wharf
greatly to the improvement of the lat
ter, concrete piers being used tor foun-
datiOns for the steel piliais.
1t was considered possible ihat the
fishmarket steel structure might be
used for the new Alakea street wharf,
still incomplete, but soren,on wharf is
now receiving attention.
1.-THE probabilities are said one en-
gagged on wharf structure, who was
discussing waterfront improvements
on the Alakea street wharf this morn
ing, 'that the fine steel shed where the
old fishmarket was will be taken down
shortly and regretted, with few al
1 terations, over the Sorenson wharf on
Queen street, which needs some
strengthening before it could receive it.
Concrete piers would support the pill
lars. And yet | think the fishmarket
shed might better be used for the new
Alakea street wharf. With the use OF
the material in this shed and neces'
sary additions a splendid shed could
be built on the Alakea wharf inside Of
the $45, 900 appropriation"

There is now twice as much coal in

Navy coaling fleet, steamships Strath-
garry, NedeTland and Crown of Galicia.
Sixteen thousand tons were on hand
before the Strathgarry brought the
first load from the Atlantic coast and
the three vessels named have left an
other sixteen thousand tons here, the
Navy now having thirty-two thousand
tons on hand Sixty or seventy thou

within the next ninety days and have

The local navy authorities are now
fencing ID the lot opposite the new
Alakea street wharf, back of the works
of the Hawaiian Electric Company
near the old fishmarket, and thirteen
thousand tons will be stored there.
This is the property of the Navy, al
though not many years ago Admiral
Merry transferred it to the use of the
Army, the Army later transferring il
back.
Eight thousand tons will be placed
where the u. S. Marines were quar-.

navy.
The Davies lot on Richards street
across from the Sailors Home accom-

there is still room in the Navy sheds
for five thousand tons besides the eigh

OVER
THE WHARF
FREAR ARRANGES
FOR ARMY TO USE CHANNEL
DOCK FOR TRANSPORTS.

President Roosevelt and Governor
Frear in consultation in Washington
have brought about arrangements
whereby the channel wharf here will
hereafter be under the control of the
Army and used for the docking of U.
S. Army transports.
Raymond Brown, Inspector-in-Chief,
u. s. immigration Station, is in re-
ceipt of a cable to the effect that this
transfer Of the wharf and site has been
effected.
The immigration authorities, by ar
rangement with the Navy and the Ter
ritory have at times, when conditions
rendered 1t necessary, had the use of
the wharf on the Waikiki side of the
haTbOr entrance known as the channel
wharf, and the notification comes to
Brown for that reason. Other cables
have been received by other Federal
officers interested.
The ground upon which the channel
wharf structure stands is a part of the
u. s. Naval reservation, while the
wharf and shed thereon are the prop
erty of the Territory, having been
erected as a quarantine station during
the days of the bubonic plague cpl
demic six or seven years ago
Some months ago The Star eX-
clusively reported the fact that the
Navy Department was ready to turn
the land over to the Department of
Commerce and Labor, for immigration
! station purposes or other Fed
eral department requiring its use The
idea then was that the Territory would
be Unidentified for the wharf and shed
thereon.
Under new plans the immigration
authorities will not require the site Of
wharf and developments are such that
it becomes the most convenient place
for the handling of army transports.
From now on the Naval wharves
will be busy with the big fleet of col.
liers bringing Navy coal and with
men-of-war of the Atlantic fleet, about
to be transferred to the Pacific.
What arrangements are to be made
with the Territory, for the transfer o.
the channel wharf and shed to The
Army, are not yet known, but this
was one of the matters discussed he
tween the President and Governo
Frear at Washington and a cable 80
ceived this morning announces tina
the matter IS settled.

millions that have to be paid out.
When you ask if the crash of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company in New
York had anything to do with the gem
eral slump all over the country I can |
honestly say that l don't think it had. |
From what l know personally Mr.. |
Barney did nothing dishonest, and the
failure of the KnickerbOcker Company
had absolutely nothing to do with the
general conditions prevailing all over
the country Regarding the condi
tions in San Francisco which know a
good deal about would say that every
thing is going along very well there.
Confidence has been restored, and the
rebuilding of the city will go steadily
onward unless another terrible disaster
should overtake her. Regarding the
subsidy bill going through this year
/ am led to believe as well as everyone
else, that the American flag will soon
be restored on the seas where 1t
once was, and where it should be now.
The Congressman who voted against 1t
last year will reconsider 1t this year,
and Think they realize that If some
thing is not done at once, the American
steamship companies will retire from
business, and no true American is an
xious to see foreign flags take the place
Of ours on the high seas.

DIR. FAIRMEATHER,s SUIT.

Summons has been returned in the
suit of DR.. Norman S. Fairweather, a
well known dentist of Honolulu, for a
separation from bed and board from
his wife, Corrine A. Fairweather. Ac.
cording to the plaintiffs bill they were
married in December, 1905, but have
not been able to get along harmoni-
Ously. He charges that his wife has
treated him cruelty, has been extrava-
CANT and involved him in debt, that
she is fault finding and uncertain as
to temper and that she has used bad
language towards himself on divers oc-
caslons. He therefore prays release at

best Governor that New York has ever
had, and he is a man who does what
he thinks is right, No one can dictate
to him, where in Roosevelt's case he
can be influenced very much by his
followers. l want to have 1t under

own views, but l am stating what is

Taft has made some very sad mis-

has certainly made even greater ones
in his recent trip to Japan. At one
time it looked that he might receive
the nomination at the convention next
year, but that is not the feeling now.

Judge Powers questioned her again,
taking up a number of the defendants
letters to Brown. The letters painted
a picture of the defendants happiness

his teeth?"
