CRONICA NEWYORQUINA.

La salvaguardia de los ciuda-
danos, en- todo pals civilizado, es la
policia. ALI donde Ia policia es
depravada { immoral, no puede ha-

La policla de New York tuvo
en- afios anteriores fama de ser la

el famoso Bowery, barrio mas temi-
BILE que los suburbios de Londres y
las alturas del Montmartre parisien
Sc convirtiera en- un barrio pacifco
por el que rueden transitar los ciu-
dadanos sin tenor alguno.
Hace ocho 6 diez amos para Pc
netrar en- las estrechas y sucias
GALES del Bowery despues de ano-
checldo, Sc neces1taba lr acompa1la-
do de dos agentes de policia. Hoy
cualquier extrangero puede aventu-
rarse por allf de noche sin que lie
ocurra ning1n incidente desagrada-
Bile, Mas tenor hay en- cruzar las
grandes avenidas, que la estrecha
y famosa Mulberry Street, coraz6n
del hampa neoyorkina. Y esa trans
formation Sc debe a la labor de la
policia.
Pero las cosas van tomando
NAL cariz. La inmoralidad admi-
nistrativa invade hoy todos los or
ganistnos de la ciudad. De algun
tempo a esta parte los asaltos y los
robos menudean en- las GALES mas
|centricas de New York. En- los
tranvias, Ell los elevadas, en- las
Cplazas publicas, Sc asalta impune-
mente a los transeuntes, sin que la
policia acuda q tempo, sin que los
| ladrones sean habidos.
Este estado de cosas alarmo al
gobernador Hughes, quien Sc pro-
puso investigar las causas. Y de
la investigation ha resultado que
| los inspectores de policia y los de-
tectives estan en- connivencia con
los ladrones. Estos roban y dan

Las casas de juego y las casas

emprendido contra los apoolroomS

Aquf la policia no es otra cosa
que I'm cuerpo polltico, dispuesto a
satisfacer las reclamaciones del par
lido que representa-. De ahi que al
cuerpo de policia vayan individuos
inmorales, sin meritos, pero impues-
tos por el compromise del voto. Es
tambien un hecho notorio, que todo
aspirante a policfa tiene que pagar
para ser nombrado, y los jefes su-
periores tienen que contribuir con
sumas enormes, bien para la CANA
rilla politica 8 para los Comisiona-
dos, 81 quieren conservar sus pues-
tos. Y ese dinero no puede salir
del puesto: tiene forzosamente que
adquirirse por nedios morales.
Ademas, donde la policia esta
envenenada por la politica, ell en-

FREAR s
LAND
POLICY

Governor Frear has not outlined his
land policy in words, but he has APP
parently done SO in action. Yesterday
he spent several hours with Land
Commissioner Pratt going over land
matters and disposing of a number
Several Others were considered but no
definite action was taken on account
of the fact that more information was
wanted.
Governor Frear's land policy, it ap-
pears from these transactions, is TO
dispose of the land as fast as possible
to those who will live on the land Few
or no absolute sales are to be made,
the general idea being to rent the
land with right of purchase, or to
lease it on the 999 year plan. This
will prevent the land eventually fall
ing into the hands of big corporations
In the meantime, tracts of land
which cannot at present be disposed
of in this manner are to be leased so
that the Territory may derive a reve-
nue. from them until they are needed
for leaseholds or on the right of pur-

MAY LET HOLLOWAY
OUT IN NOVEMBER
Frear Going Thoroughly
Into Nuuanu Dam
Matter

Governor Frear and Secretary Mott
Smith are up to the ears In the Nuuanu
dam pilikia. Not that they have
struck trouble yet themselves, but they
are investigating the troubles of those
who are connected with the construc-
ion of the dam.
All yesterday Secretary Mott-Smith
was taking the evidence of contractor
Whitehouse, going into the matter
from his standpoint. The Governor
has so far confined himself principally
20 hearing the side of the Public
Works Department. When the evil
dence is all in it is his intention to
take it all together and try to sift the
grain of truth out of it.
The general impression is that if
there is to be a shake-up 1t will not
come until November %, when Super
intendent HOlloway's commission ex-
pires. In case Holloway is let out, it
will mean that both the Howlands will
have to sever their connection with
the job. Those who have expressed
themselves on the subject are general
" inclined to the belief that Holloway
IL being made fool of by Howland.
Holloway steadfastly backs Howland
mp and says that with all the criticism
directed at the engineer no proof has
yet been adduced that points to the
fact that he is incompetent or that
there is any graft going on.
Efforts are undoubtedly being made
to have Holloway removed at the ex-
piration of the term of his commits
sion if not before. This is largely on
account of the fact that this seems to
be the only way to get rid of Rowland
who sticks to the job like leech in
spite of all the efforts that have been
made to dislodge him. The Legisla-
tlre tried it's best to get rid of him,
but in the end Howland stuck, at the
same salary and with less responsible
ity and work.
The Governor has as yet expressed
no opinion as to the merits of the
controversy but states that he is going
into the matter thoroughly and will
get to the bottom of it before he takes
any action

All Pull
Together
MERCHANTS OPINION
WILL have MUCH
WEIGHT

1--WE must all pull together to get
something done with that magnificent
harbor of ours
This was the text of the speech
which Admiral Very made this after
noon to the assembly of prominent
men who had accepted his invitation
to attend meeting for the purpose of
giving an expression of their views in
regard to the proposed Pearl Harbor
improvements.
The meeting took place in the large
coal shed, which had been decorated
with flags and bunting SO that it
formed quite pleasant meeting place.
Admiral Very said that the reasons
for the meeting were contained in a
letter which he had received from a
friend who was a member of the Cen
eral Board. This Board wanted to
recommend the deepening of the Pearl
Harbor channel, but to do this the
commercial needs should be demon
strated, as this would greatly facilitate
the securing of the necessary appro-
priation. Captain Niblack had report
ed that the sugar interests intended to
make it a commercial port. The facts
in this matter would be very valuable,
as it could be employed as an argu-
Inent before Congress.
The Admiral stated that he had had
rather discouraging replies in his cor
:espondence with Washington. He
had for many years been interested in
The development of Pearl Harbor, but
III spite of the fact that the importance
Jf that plan had long been recognized.
very little had been done to improve It,.
The difficulty was to get a large
ship through the tortuous channel.
He illustrated the space which ves-
sells needed to maneuver by sketch
on a blackboard, and pointed out the
improvements which would have to
be made to straighten the channel to
make it practicable for ships of large
size. Before an estimate of the cost
could be made it had to be ascer-
tanned what the nature of the bot
tom was. The Army engineers could
not take the initiative unless so in
structed by Congress. All the visit
ing Congressman with whom the Ad-
miral had spoken had been in favor
of making a $4,000 appropriation
for this purpose. A rough estimate
Ly an army engineer stated that
there would be about 1,750,000 cubic
yards of material to remove, which
would cost about s450,000 If the ma
terial were soft; more If it were
hard.
Steamers like the Mongolia and
Manchuria would require about 80
feet depth and to have the channel
twice as wide as at present. 1t would
be hopeless to attempt to have this

StarbuCk Lost;
Nuuanu Leaks

The waterfront and business cir
cles were this morning deeply stir
red with the news of marine disaster,
affecting two of the vessels best
known in the local service One of
these pieces of news was that the
ship Tillie Starbuck had been aband-
cned off the Coast of Chile, where
her crew had landed in safety, while
the other was that the bark Nuuanu
had put back to New York in a leak
ing condition,
Davies & Co., who are the con-
signees of the Starbuck, received
cable from Chas. Brewer & Co. OF
Boston stating that the vessel had
been abandoned, and that the cap
tain and the crew had landed safely
at Coquimbo, Chile. No cause for
the abandoning of the vessel had
been ascertained.
Castle & Cooke, who are part own
ers of the vessel also received a
this morning. II was TO the same
effect as that of Davies & Co., but
added that the vessel was total
loss.
The Starbuck left New York April
10 for this port. She had on board
cargo of general merchandise con-
signed to Davies 4 Co., this includ-
ing about 1900 tons for the Honolulu
Iron Works.
The Starbuck was built in 1883
by John Roach & Son in Chester,
Pa, at the same time as the Clar-
ence S. Bement and the City of New
York. These three were the first
three steel vessels built in the United
States. The Bement was lost by fire
off Cape Horn about three years ago.
The City of New York was lost near
San Francisco about three years ago.
During the first years of her Ca
reer the Starbuck showed her flag in
many different parts of the world,
and became quite famous for the fast
time she made on many of her voy-
ages. Eleven years ago she went in
to the Island trade, and became one
of the favorite windjammers of Ho-
nolulu. While under the command
of her former master, Captain Cur
tbs, she made record by making six
consecutive voyages from this port
to New York, the shortest of which
was made in 102 and the longest in
116 days. On her present voyage

SEAR|E WILL NOT
ACCEPT PRESIDENCY
SO College Regents Are
To Go Ahead
Anyway

Regents of the College of Agricult-
ure held meeting yesterday after
noon, and after viewing the prospects
decided that if any thing was to be
done this year the Regents would have
to do it themselves. So they have set
about doing it.
The situation comes about through
the decision of Professor Searle to not
take the position of President of the
institution unless he is given $4,000 a
year.
The Regents have ten thousand dol
lars for salaries, and they do not see
the value of paying out that amount
for one mans salary. Something must
be done If the college is to be opened
this fall and anything of particular
value accomplished this year.
1t has therefore been decided to
abandon the idea of high priced pres
ident for the first year. The Regents
will run the institution and do the
preliminary work themselves. In one
Of their members, C. F. Eckart, head
of the Planters Experiment Station,
they have one who is fully capable,
and it is only question of whether
lie will sacrifice himself and with
others put In the time to outline the
general plan of the institution in order
that the secondary schools may be
fully informed as to the requirements
of the College and prepare candidates
for entry at the opening of the next
school year.
This does not mean that Mr.. Eckart
will do all the work. Under the
scheme of management by the Regents
they will seek less expensive head
OF the College and this man will take
active charge 1t is entirely possible
that this man with a salary at the
start OF s.G) to T,9H0 year and
enough in the approplld.-G-. 10 hire
others may develop into just the man
for the place and be worthy the higher
salary of a man with reputation al
ready made. At all events the scheme
laid down provides for immediate
steps in establishing the College, a
steady movement towards permanent
plans and something doing all the
time. Unless this is done, the institu-
tion is likely to lay dormant for a
year, and that is not what the Regents
were named for.

Hold Up
Lanai Lands

Link McCandless in his capacity as
trouble maker may yet succeed in
blocking the wheels of progress and
making the Lanai deal the lever with
which to pry loose big bunch of trou-
BILE for the Territory by preventing the
erection of the new high school.
1t is proposed to erect the high
school on the Maertens property,
which is one of the pieces OF land ac-
CURED by the Territory in the con-
tested Lanai deal. McCandless, who
brought a bill to have the deal set
aside on the ground that the Govern
ment had no right to make such an
exchange, and who lost in the Terri
iorial courts, has appealed his case to
Washington.
This puts the matter in an unsettled
condition, and although 1t is generally
supposed that the Federal Supreme
Court will sustain the Territorial
courts in their decision that the Ter
ritory had the right to make the ex-
change, there is no definite assurance
that such will be the case. II would be
an awkward situation if, after the Ter
ritory had gone ahead and used part
Of the land acquired by the exchange
for high school site the United States
Supreme Court should declare that the
deal was Illegal and must be made null
and void and the land reconveyed to
the original owners.
Governor Frear stated this morning
that he had not yet fully made up his
mind what to do. 1t Is possible that
the Lanai case will come up in the Fed
eral Supreme Court next October, but
this is not certain, as the case would
have to be advanced considerably on
the calendar to be heard then. And
in any case, it has been the intention
TO commence work on the new high
school before October. The plans have
oeen drawn up and approved, and yes
terday Superintendent Babbitt dis
cusSed them with the Governor. The
specifications are expected to be re-
tCiNtu ilpll lHN NllniI a lew
days, and it was the intention to go
ahead with the work of construction
as soon as the money could be pro-
vided, which would not be, the Cover
nor says, until bonds could be issue,
rs the $4,000 provided by the Legis-
lature for the new high school is in
Guided in the authorized bond issue.
From what the Governor says, 1t is
probable that he will hold up the high
school proposition until the Federal
Supreme Court has passed on the La
mai case There was a rumor this
morning that the Governor hadlssued
orders that nothing should be done
with any of the lands acquired by the
Lanai exchange until the decision
should be received from Washington,
but the Governor says that he has not
yet taken any action aspadical as that,
though he may issue such orders in
the case of the proposed high school
site. The building now on the Maer-
