MAY BE MORE
THAN A JOKE

I Governor Frear. in seeming Jest. yes
terday made a remark about the pro-
posed Federal building for Honolulu
! which may have had more behind 1,
than facetiousness- II was addressed
+ 20 an Advertiser reporter, Secretary
/ Mott-Smith being present.
An expression dropped from the Gov
srnor Indicating hope that within a
year work on the building would begin,
but he Immediately foiled the force OF
; the words by humorous facial signals.
There was a responsive laugh from the
Secretary. Yet as the Governor had
just been TO Washington. there is a
chance that, in this instance, actions
did not speak louder than words.
The Governor and the Secretary
have put in their first day in office -
Mr.. Frear said after dismissing the
latest official caller at five o'clock. Ref
erence was to the fact that both Off
Gals had that morning been sworn in
for their regular terms of four years
each, under commissions dating from
December Is. 1897. the day the Senate
of the United States confirmed their
appointments.
They were just as much Governor
and Secretary, respectively of Hawaii
during the short term of their Senate
recess appointments. but the latter
term is not counted out of their stat
utory period of office. In the same way.
Mr.. Frear was twice appointed, with
the approval of the Senate, as Chief
Justice. but he holds three separate
commissions as souvenirs of that high
office.
Chief Justice Hartwell administered
the oaths of office TO the executive
officials. Besides those having part in
the ceremony there were present At
torney General c. R. Hemenway. Mrs.
w F Frear, Mrs. Hugo Frear. Alex
ander Frear, Chief Clerk David Lloyd
Conkliug and E P. Irwin
Governor Frear was busy all day
with matters brought TO him by heads
Of departments.
Among matters requiring early, de-
termination are those of the Kappa
lands and Of public lands under expir-
ing leases 70 plantations on the Island
of Hawaii the Governor mentioned in
reply to an Advertiser reporters qUes-
ton at the close of the day
He referred with qualification to the
starting OF work on the Honolulu High
school building, as we'll as the prospect
OF q satisfactory contract being made
at an early day for completing the
Nuuanu reservoir. A number of school
houses were to be erected among the
earliest public works
Speaking also of the early probab-
ility of seeing the Federal leprosarium
on 9Iolokai erected Governor Frear
dropped a remark sounding full of
hope that something would be doing
on the Federal building in Honolulu
about a year hence. Although he did
some vigorous winhng in discount of
the newspaperman's blinking at such
a dazzling prospect. it was too natural
an impression 10 be obliterated that
the Governor, with all his tremendous
activity at Washington. must have
talked Federal building there in so
many influential places that the need
OF Il. as a matter of national policy,
bulges up in higher relief now than
that Of the Panama Canal
