WAIKIKI FORTIFICATIONS
AND LEILEHUA CAVALRY POST

Military plans are moving rapidly
More land than is at present available
at Waikiki is needed by the force OF
engineers at present camped there. Ac-
cordingly United States Attorney
Breckons has made arrangements with
the owners of certain pieces of land
near the beach to give possession to the
military authorities without waiting the
process of condemnation.
The properties to be taken possession
of are the Seeley I. Shaw property ad-
joining the McCandless home, and the
Bank of Hawaii and the Dreier places
right on the beach. These pieces of
adjoin that already occupied
by the engineers. 1t is probable that
possession viii be given within week
or ten days.
In the other direction plans are pro
crossing. Investigation is now being
made as to the exact spot where the
cavalry post at Leilehua is to be placed.

A large part of the government land
there is under leases, which will expire
in 1912 1t is not desired to condemn
the leaseholds, so the expectation is now
to so arrange the post and its buildings
that the buildings that are necessary to
be built now can be erected on land not
under lease and arrange them so that
when all the land is freed from lease
the necessary enlargement can be made
according to original plans.
An Army Board will be convened here
during January to decide on the ar
and location of buildings,
and meanwhile all data in regard to the
matter is being tabulated
It seems probably from information
at hand that the location of the army
cavalry post, as finally determined on,
will be not far from the old Dowsett
ranch house on the old trail which
leaves the Waialua road to the pass
over the Waianae mountains to the vii
lage of Waianae.

AN IMPORTANT RULING
COMES FROM WASHINGTON
Part of the Federal Appropriation for Treatment
and Investigation of Leprosy Can Be
Used at Kalihi.

A ruling from the Comptroller of the
Treasury of the very highest interest
to this Territory was received yester-
day by Acting Governor Mott-Smith.
1t is of especial interest and Importance
IN view of the effort which is to be
made to extend the scope of the Board
of Health IS work in the matter of 1ep-
rosy to more extensive treatment and
effort to find a cure.
Congress appropriates $4,000 a year
for the investigation and treatment of
leprosy in Hawaii. For a few years at
least it is not thought that all of this
will be absolutely needed at the leprosy
investigating station at Kalawao,
though it could all be spent there. In
deed it is believed that a part of it
could be advantageously expended in
treatment and investigation elsewhere.
But there has been a question whether
IT could be spent anywhere else than
IN the settlement on Molokai.
A ruling of tn Comptroller of the
Treasury on this point was asked some

LOVELY MAY
WAS JAGGED
May Y0he, en- Route Across,
Had a Luau Too Many
Here.

May Yohe, former music hall celeb
rity, who once had the privilege as Lady
Hope of wearing the famous Hope dia-
monds, spent yesterday in Honolulu and
departed on the steamship Asia with a
beautiful jag, mostly acquired at luau.
Miss Yohe, who is nearing the half
century mile-post in her career, came
down on the Asia under her old name,
the one with which she won fame in
American and London music halls. It
is also the name with which she mes
merized Captain Putnam Bradlee Strong
of New York into eloping with her. At
that time she dfdn't t travel as Mrs.
Strong, but they both fed across the
continent and landed in Honolulu about
1902, as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith -
For about three hours they were,
known here as Mr.. and Mrs. Smith,
until representatives of this paper pene
trated their incog. and introduced them
properly to the Honolulu public as Miss
May Yohe and Captain Strong. That
introduction was such a shock to both
that they put their baggage, French
maid, colored manservant and dogs back
on board the steamer and continued on
to Japan.
Recently Miss Yohe has been living
in Seattle as Mrs. Bellinger. She said
that she desired to live in quiet and
peace and did not care to be in the
limelight again, but hardly had this in
formation been printed here than Hon.
Joel Cohen, the Hammerstein of Homo
lulu, received a cablegram from San
Francisco asking whether he could play

time ago, and was received yesterday
The Comptroller holds that it may be
spent anywhere in the Territory but
only for the purpose for which it is
appropriated, the treatment and inves-
tigation of leprosy.
1t is now probable, therefore, that a
working arrangement will be reached
between the Board of Health and DR..
Brinckerhoff by which certain investi-
cations and certain kinds of treatment
will be carried on at the Kalihi Re-
ceiving Station.
The Federal appropriation is only for
medicines and treatment. None of it
can be spent for hospital. The Board
of Health has the hospital in the Re-
ceiving Station, so that it can supply
that part of the appliance.
In this way it is hoped to be able
to give special treatment to more pa
tients than ever before and to give
greater breadth and scope to the treat
ment and to greatly extend the~possibil-
ity of investigation and experiment.

CAMPAIGN FOR
CHEAP SUGAR
Hawaii's Position in the Hear
ings on a New
Schedule.
By Ernest G.. Walker.
mail Special to the Advertiser }

(Mail Special to the Advertiser
WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE
| hearings on the sugar schedules before
the Ways and Means Committee are the
most interesting feature of Hawaiian
concern here this week. Judge Hatch
has been watching those hearings close
ly and noting the arguments advanced
both for lowering and for retaining the
present duties. It was deemed wisest
that the Hawaiian situation should not
be made prominent in the hearings, but
that the Hawaiian raisers of sugar
should rest their ease on the arguments
that the beet sugar manufacturers and
the cane-growers of Louisiana might ad
vance
Thus far there has been little men
tion of the Hawaiian product at the
hearings. Representatives of the Cuban
sugar estates have asked for reduc-
tion of duty. There have been already
a number of lively tits over the ques
tion. Judge Hatch does not expect to
be heard by the committee.
The following circular of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Co. (Smith &
Schipper) is being distributed here:
New York, November II, 1908.
Now that the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House of Representa-
tives is considering tariff revision, it
is the general impression that some
thing will be done in the near future
towards reducing the present duty on
sugar. There really seems to be no
good reason why such a heavy tax as
1.6S5c. per pound (Which is the present
full duty on 96-degree test raw sugar.
should be levied on an article that is
as universally used as sugar. The
United States consumes nearly 3,000,- |
600 tons of sugar annually, or about |
an average consumption of rs pounds
per capita. Of this, the domestic pro-
duction of beet sugar last year was
100000 tons, and cane sugar in Louisi-
ana, 335, 900 tons, total of 775,0OO /
tons. As most of the domestic beet /
sugar plants are located in the West
ern States, they, in addition to the
tariff, have the advantage of freights,

and in easy stages he worked his way
to San Francisco and then it was dis
covered that he had taken passage to
Japan on the Siberia. Descriptions
were sent by cable to Yokohama and
Nagasaki, and then it was discovered
that he had gotten off the steamer here,
and returning to the Coast on the Mon
goIia he had simply doubled on his
track to elude pursuit. He insisted that
a mistake had been made as to his
identity, when arrested, and said he
was L. E. Knollys, a member Of brok-
erage firm Of Courtland, Babcoek & Co.,

as L. f. KnolIys. A young woman in
whose smiles he had basked on the way

! of 81 ballots majority of them were
lost to Lane through the juggling of
the count.
Bernard Kelekolio, who was on duty
in one of the precincts and whose duty
was to take ballots from the boxes, left
his post, so it is claimed, to get his
dinner at a nearby house and went out
of the voting booth later during the
night for a supper and on one or two
other occasions left his booth, so that
there were not enough officials present
to kept strict watch on the count.
Another allegation will be that Craw-
ford so influenced Chinese voters to
cast their ballots for Achi instead of
Lane as they intended, that they did
actually vote for Achi. They state that
they were followed almost into the
booths by Willie Crawford and in
structed and influenced to vote for
Aehi.
Further allegations will be presented
in a statement that on the other side
of the island forty-eight straight Demo
cratic votes had been marked with an
identifying cross.
All in all the Republican committee
believes that there has been a serious
dereliction of duty on the part of elec-
tion officials at various voting booths,
and they believe they can prove their
allegations.
A. L. C. Atkinson stated yesterday
that he like John Lane, Immediately af-
ter the election, believed that Lane
was fairly beaten but information OBJ
tanned in the last week or so made
him believe that contest was due on
behalf of John Lane. He states that |
the committee has weighed the charges
and is not going off half-cocked.

CHE-FA WILLIE'S
TALLY BASIS OF
LANES CONTEST
Proceedings to Begin This Morning to Prove
That the Republican Nominee for Mayor
Was Beaten by Fraud.

Following a conference of Republican
leaders yesterday afternoon the prep
aration of papers contesting the elec.
tion of Joseph j. Fern, as Mayor of
Honolulu on November last, was plac-
ed in the hands of attorneys A. G. NJ
Robertson, George A Davis and A. L.
q. Atkinson to be presented before the
Supreme Court this morning. The con-
test is entered in behalf of John G.
Lane, Republican candidate for Mayor
who was declared defeated by the mar
row margin of seven votes.
One ground for the action is that in
certain precincts, although the law ex-
pressly provides that the balloting and
ballot boxes shall be closed promptly
at o'clock in the afternoon, balloting
was permitted after clock to accom-
modate a few votes.
Another allegation is that the tally
of ballots was illegally kept in the
Fourteenth Precinct of the Fifth Dis
trict by William H. Crawford, and also
that in one precinct, where votes were
in reality cast for Lane, they were
wrongly totalled, the tally-sheets of
three watchers showing rs votes for
Lane, while the tally-sheet keeper s
record showed only 20 votes.
In one precinct where Lane was re-
ported by the counters and taHy-sheet
keepers to have received only eight
votes he was actually entitled to at
ieast sixteen votes. To substantiate
this charge it is said that the attorneys
have the affidavits of sixteen voters of
this precinct who swear they voted for
Lane.
One of the most serious charges is
that in the Fourteenth Precinct the tai
ly-sheet keeper played smooth game
in behalf of Aehi and Fern as opposed
to the interests of Lane. It is said
that in this precinct the ballots were
taken one by one from the boxes by
a young Hawaiian, who merely opened
them, glanced at the votes and passed
them on to another teller, who read off
the names which had crosses opposite !
them, and for each name that he called |
off the tally-sheet keeper, Crawford,
was supposed to make a proper tally /
mark on the official sheet. But, it will /
be alleged that in the peneiling of tally
marks opposite the name of Lane the |
tally man passed his pencil twice over
the same mark, and did this frequently.
In this precinct there were q rejected
votes and 81 remain unaceounted for,
and it will be alleged that in this list

POLO PONIES
Charlie David Back From Coast
Tells of HOn0Iulans in
Frisco.

Charles David. the local horseman,
returned from business trip to the
Coast by the S. s. Nebraskan on Sat-
urday.
: David brought with him fourteen
head of horses, consisting chiefly of
young mares. The lot is an exceeding
Iy blocking one and the animals
arrived in fine shape.
In the bunch are several very good
looking horses which should make very
desirable polo ponies. In view of the
approaching opening of the local polo
season the arrival of the stock at the
present time is very opportune.
With David came Jockey Willis, who
will ride for the formers stable at Hilo
races.
According to the veteran horseman,
things in San Francisco are extremely
dull just now.
Twenty people would try and touch
me on the streets for a dime every
day is the way David states the
matter.
David did not bring any thorough
breds down with him, though he says
that $500 will buy very fair racehorse
in San Francisco today.
He saw a number of ex-Honolulu
people in San Francisco. Bob Burns
the trainer, is married and has quit
the racetrack for a ranch.
Jack Wilson is in the livery stables
business in the Californian metropolis
and is making money hand over fist
Bob Ballentyne is playing the ponies

CUTE CREATIONS FOR
FAWHCY DRESSERS

Bert Peterson, who is expected back
from the mainland shortly, writes that
he is bringing the vely latest thing in
the negligee hat line, something that he
is satisfied will make Fort street sit up
and take notice when he promenades.
He says it is ''quite the SWEETEST thing
that has come OUT and that he made
hit at Newport when he appeared.
Without desiring to lessen the effect
Mr.. Peterson hopes to create, a sup
position is advanced that his lid and
the ones referred to in the following
from the San Francisco Call are off the
same block. The Coast paper says:

did you get that tile2

culiarities of fashionable dress, the cit

presence of mind when they observed
Walter S. Hobart and Francis j. Caro-
Ian, leaders of the Durlingmae Club set,
walking through their streets each
wearing a soft green felt hat graced
with dropping feathers of the same
color. As Easter bonnets they were
the entire sensation. The merry widows
were woefully eclipsed, and the crea-
tlons of chiffon, straw, roses, pansles
and garden truck were not in the same
class
''The new hat as worn by these men
is of a delicate dark green mixture of
cloth and felt with a slightly darker
green hat band surrounding it. The
browning touch is a green aigret, deli
cately dropping over the rear of the hat

gives the wearer chic and dainty ap-
