WILL ASK THAT FLEET
BE SENT To HAWAII

One of the principal reasons for which
Governor Frear will attend the Trans
mississippi Congress as the special rep
resentative of the Honolulu Chamber
of Commerce is to urge upon the meet
ing the passing of resolution point
ing out to Congress the necessity of
the Atlantic fleet extending its Pacific
cruise to at least as far from the San
Francisco base as the Hawaiian Is
lands. He will ask that this request
be included in a vote of commendation
on the action of the Navy Depart
ment in despatching the fleet on its
.,praetise cruise to the Pacific.
The matter of endorsing the resolu-
fion of the Honolulu Chamber of Com
merce regarding Pearl Harbor will also
he taken up and urged. The endorse
ment of such a gathering, representa-
tive of the business interest of the en-
tire West, would be the strongest back
ing along that line that the Pearl Har-
Dor matter could have and, is certain
ly well worth pressing for.

SITE is
SUITABLE
ONE
Valley Land for Boys
Home Can Be
Had.

"I think that the offer of Bishop
sLibert to donate the land for a site
flor the new government home for the
bows from the settlement on Molokai
from the property acquired by his
church in upper Kaihi valley should
be accepted by the Territorial author
ities,'' said Allan Herbert yesterday.
E'The building of the home in the neigh
borhood of the proposed Sisters Home
and the orphanage recommends itself
TO me from the fact that the nurses
wanted for the home will be where
they win have the companionship of
congenial friends, while extra nurses
and teachers, should they be wanted,
would be easily and quickly procura-
bic.
81 notice that President Pinkham
seems to think that there is not the
amount of land available in the neigh
borhood of Honolulu that he would like
to have in order that the boys could
be taught practical farming and upon
which produce for the home could be
raised. But there is an abundance of
good agricultural land in the Ka1ihi
valley. Between the Bishop estate, the
Kapiolani estate, the Allen estate and
. the Campbell estate there are at least
two thousand acres of land within easy
access of the site offered for the home
by Bishop Libert I feel confident that
any of these estates would gladly
! donate enough land for the purpose.
Some of the property is in trust and
could not be conveyed to the govern
ment outright, but long leases at
nominal rent could be secured. l dis
cussed the matter this morning with
Mrs. Campbell Parker and she express
ed Willingness to use her influence
with the other trustees of the Campbell
estate to give enough land on a long
lease to be cultivated by the boys of
the home, provided the offer of Bishop
Libert is accepted. She appeared much
interested in the matter and thinks
the site offered an excellent one for
the purpose.
81 am thoroughly acquainted with
the possibilities of Kalihi valley, both
horticulturally and agrieulturally and
/ regard it as undoubtedly the richest
of the Ave valleys in Honolulu. Thjr-
ty years ago upper Kalihi was thickly
settled with natives and Portuguese,
more than in any of the other valleys, |
and the only reason they have left |
their holdings there is because right |
up to the present time there has never
been a decent road built up the valley, |
leaving it impossible in wet weather.
The soil is frst-class and the rainfall
there is sufficient to raise any of the
ordinary crops without irrigation. As
an example of what can be done, |
have raised four crops of Irish pota-
toes on my Kalihi land this year.

Mr.. Hustace makes the further
charge that the police department is

statement on the fact that at a quarter

the Station House he found neither |

HAWLEY REPLIES TO DARRoW
Idaho Prosecutor Denies Charge That
Case il Not Being Conducted
I'm Good Faith.

WALLACE, Idaho, March 5.-"Counsel
for the state are better friends to Steve
Adams than are the attorneys for the de-
fense. The latter are in the case simply
for the purpose Of getting evidence in favor
of Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone, and
they do not give a jackstraw for Steve
Adams or what happens to him."
With these words. States Attorney j. H.
Hawley today started sharp attack on
the defense in tlle case OF the state against
Steve Adams Tor the murder of Fred Tyler.
'The state does not wish to see an inno-
cent man hanged. continued Mr.. Hawley.
''but the defense does not care. We be-
lieve Adams is guilty OF the murder We
are trying this case upon its merits and
not for the purpose Of convicting the ON
GERS OF the Western Federation OF Miners
OF another crime"
'"rhe defense talks nonsense" said Mr..
Hawley, when 1t states the prosecution
is not being carried on in good faith. Gov
ernor Gooding's visit TO Steve Adams at
the penitentiary was made in good faith
and not for, the purpose OF injuring the
prisoners chances. There was nothing
about the confession that was illegal, and
no pressure was brought to bear upon him
to make him give that confession"

such legislation there is a normal healthy
demand for all or nearly all the securities

so absolutely safe and unquestioned as 10
