BRAIDfN'S FAITHFUL
AGAIN GATHER
Hold Secret Meeting in La
lara Jail and Shock
the Walls.

Wednesday afternoon those loyal
patriots. more commonly referred
to as the ''indepenitentiaries," re-
sponded to the call of their chief.
w. A. Braiden. and assembled at
La Jara for the professed purpose
of shedding some more of their
blood for the cause of the people,
but more particularly for the sake
of getting in on the game early
and preparing to cop off whatever
hidden fruit they hope the early
frosts of public approbrium may
neglect to nip in the bud.
They came three-fourths of a
dozen strong and when their num-
ber had been swelled by three or
four of La .Jara's self sacrificing
sons, and the think tanks of the
eifervescing patriots were tapped.
the quantities of long pent-up hot
air that burst forth nearly wrecked
our little jail. the four walls of
which were strained and warped
and cracked beyond the widest
dreams of an adept baggage smash
er. But had it not been for the
damage done to the jail, and our
shortage of news this week, the
occurrence would, no doubt, have
lacked the necessary interest to
obtain space in the columns of
The Chronicle.
We were unable to procure
lucid report of the affair as none
but the faithful were admitted and
no one present seemed capable of
remembering anything of import
ance that was said or done. How
ever. we were informed that they
were deeply disappointed over the
failure of their chief, w. A. Braid

meeting as be had that morning

of doing. and deliver stirring and
mastery discourse on. Where

quent and Chesterheldian style SO
strikingly all his own. As a con-
sequence Pat Lopez was installed
us messenger boy and was kept
travelling back and forth from the
Jail to the Braiden residence,
where the big chief was confined
to his bed as the result of too
liberal an indulgence in Emilio
Girard's .freshments, devoured
while at Capulin that morning, pre-
sumably for the purpose of giving
him inspiration for his effort
to be made that afternoon.
He reckoned without his host,
however. and the amount of
inspiration" he loaded up was too
heavy for one of so slight stat
ure to carry and he was forced to
take to his bed upon returning to
La Jara instead of place at the
head of his class in the Jail
When the shades of evening
were settling and the sun had hid
den his face behind the western
hills, we noticed Fred Grooming,
accompanied by w. o. Mieir, M.
II. Van Fleet and Jack Gerteisen,
quietly emerge. cautiously get
into his gum-shoed vehicle and
slip out of town. while Thos
O mond, J. A. Mcdaniel, Pat
Lopez. j. r. G. Ruybal, and IA
couple af others wended their way
to their various abodes with an
air of great wisdom and secrecy.

IMPORTANT BUSINESS AT CLUB MEETGNG-wATER
oUs-sATIsFACToRY ROAD .woRK-CARE AssUM-
ED BY PRIVATE OWNERS PROPOSAL KAINUKI AND
PALoLo DISTRICTS IN NEW ELECTION PRECINCT

A meeting of the Waialae, Kaimukt
and Palolo improvement Club, to
which residents of Beretania and
Young streets were invited was held
at the Government Nursery last night
President A. F. Clark, Secretary d. W..
Anderson and Treasurer A. F. Cooke
were at the table.
Wade Warren Thayer read the re-
port of the committee, of which he is
chairman, on the question of car SER
vice. 1t is printed in full below. The
report was accepted and the consider
alton of its recommendation referred
to special meeting at an early day
to be called by the chair.
Several committees reported on diff
ferent branches of the clubs interests.
The road work by the county in the
section was considered as having Deen
very satisfactory thus far, and the
meeting received with applause the
reported assurance that the improve
ment of Sixth avenue would shortly
be undertaken. Residents of the up
per part of Kaimuh tract have lately
relieved the tree planting committee of
the care of trees planted along their
frontages, as well as the clubs treas
ury of the expense of that work.
There was only one matter, outside
of the car service, which was reported
in unsatisfactory status. This was the
vital question of the water supply tor
houses on the upper levels. AS lately
reported in The Star, the reservoir is
leaking badly and threatening to give
way entirely. Superintendent of Pub
lie Works Marston Campbell find!
that its repairing is out of the ques
tion, the substructure being quite un'
substantial. There is no fund out O
which a new reservoir can be built.
Many of the residents are in favor
of replacing the reservoir, under an
appropriation from next legislature
with a steel tank lined with cement
which would cost something less than
$4,000 This type of high level water
container has strong engineering APP
proval on the mainland. Mr.. Camp
bell inclines to reinforced concrete
reservoir on the site of the present
tanks, with a smaller receptacle on the
higher Palolo land to serve the houses
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-04-23

on the highest elevations, this to be
served by pumping from the reservoir.
1t would be too heavy load for the
present Kaimuld pumping station to
drive water to a reservoir on the sum-
NIT. This plan would cost about S35,
600.
1t is proposed that the government
take over the water system of the Pa
lolo Land Co., discarding its supply put
retaining it's service mains. There
would need to be a larger appropriate
ton for including this action, but the
government would be reimbursed by
having all the Palolo water rates to
collect as well as those of the Kaimuki
and Waialae tracts. At the same time
the Palolo people would receive arte-
sian instead of surface water.
c. H. Kluegel, the public works en-
gineer, it was reported, is investigating
the entire water problem of the sec
ton.
Another important proposition laid
before the meeting by the president
was that of joining Kaimuki and Palo-
10 in a new election precinct. 1t was
received favorably by the meeting,
which felt that the interests of both
sides of Waialae road, from Kapahulu
road up, were identical with regard to
public utilities. President Clark, Emil
A. Berndt and Wade Warren Thayer
were appointed a committee to see Act
ing Governor Mott-Smith about the
matter and they arranged right there
to attend to the business today.
Following is the report on the mat
ter of car service mentioned above:
Honolulu, April 22nd, 1908.
To the residents of Kaimuki, Waialae,
Palolo Beretania and Young

JUDGE PERRY
FORMER SUPREME THE
MAYoRALTY RECEIVED WITH ACCLAII-"A CLEAR
THINKER WITH NO BoMBAsT"-TAKEN BY SURPRISE JUDGE
PERRY IS NOT READY ANSWER

The latest name brought forward as
possible candidate for mayor of Hone
lulu at the coming election is that of
Judge Antonio Perry, former Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. The
matter had never reached his ears till
he was questioned this morning by
Star reporter and he could not say at
that time whether, in case the honor
was offered to him, ne would be in a
position to accept.
So far as the suggestion has been
followed up, Judge Perry's name has
met with almost universal favor. In
interviewing various business men and
others who are interested in the matter
of politics to some degree, not one
could be found who did not have a good
word to say for Judge Perry, whether
Republican, Democrat or Civic FEEDER
alton man.
A. F. judd when asked what he
Thought of Perry should the latter al
low his name to be used, said:
1T would be impossible to get more
competent man for the position. He
is hard worker and clear thinker
with no bombast about him. 1 believe
that if he could be prevailed on to ac-
cept the nomination he would make an
ideal candidate"
F. B, McStocker in speaking of the
matter said:
"A better man for the position could
not be found. He is honest and eff
cient and would be certainly the right
man for the place"
Ed. Towse was another who seemed
very favorably impressed by the men

HUTCHINS LEAVES
MANY POSITIONS
CLINTON j. HUTCHINs, THE WELI-HNOWN INSURANCE AND
PROMOTER OF DEVELOPMENT GOES TO THE COAST PER
MANENTLY-HE PRESENT RETAIN PREsp
ENCY OF THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH COMPANY

1t is probable that he will be Civ
en- a district to manage near Ber-
kelley for the Pacific Mutual, for
which he has done so much here.
The Wireless Telegraph Company
here will probably at an early meet
ing provide for a second vice-presi-
dent and a director and arrange to
operate, with its president away on
the Coast.
Hutchins, who is one of the most
energetic and level-headed of local
business men, deeply regrets leaving
these islands and the people of which
and of whom he thinks so much. but
whereas he has for eleven years been
living here and visiting the mainland
he will now live on the mainland
and visit here. Incidentally he will
be an important Individual Hawaii
promotion committee on the Coast
Among other offices resigned to-
day, Hutchins put in his quit as Com
missioner Of Public instruction, a
work in which he was jealous and
deeply interested
He will perhaps be most identified
with the Kona Development Com
pany, outside the insurance business,
foI he took that to the receivership,
guiding 1t through eleven lawsuits,
and 1t is still engaged in the Bierce
controversy.

ton of Judge Perry's name for office.
He said:
He would be a very good man in
the place and he is very we'll liked. 1
doubt if it would be possible to find
anyone who would object to him for
the position"
Charlie Hustace was another who
seemed to like the idea and who be-
lieved that Perry would make a strong
candidate Alex. Robertson, the re-
firing chairman of the Republican Ter
ritorial committee, also spoke strongly
in regard to Perry's qualifications.
From the opinions which have beSn
expressed it appears as if Perry was
just the man whom the various wings
of the Republican party might conso-
lidate on and for whom all would work
in the most absolute harmony. The
only question is whether Judge Perry
can be induced to run for the nomina-
ton. His legal business is one which
he has built up to large proportions and
it would necessarily suffer should he
take office under the municipal govern
ment. In speaking Of the matter this
morning he said:
You have sprung something entirely
new on me and really cannot answer
a question as to Whether I would take
the nomination should it be offered me.
have never heard a word of the mat
ter before and you can understand
that it is rather strong proposition to
take up at a moments notice 1 can
say one thing, that it would require a
great deal of persuasion to make me
take such a nomination"

as true and staunch friend to Ha-
waii.
Admiral Very responded as follows:
aloha, gentlemen. l appreciate
very much the complimentary re-
marks paid me by President Morgan
but l am unwilling to accept all the
praise for the success of the Pearl
Harbor matter, because l think the
greatest credit is due Mr. Morgan and
the rest of the Chamber of Commerce,
as well as Mr.. Wood for their ener-
getic work in getting the appropria-
tion through this year.

tion for Pearl Harbor, nothing is 60
