Mr.. Gere was intoxicated" h. said;
"everything has been satisfactory so
far, but on the eve of election this

is dismissed just for politics and the
money has to be spent over there by
irresponsible politicians, God knows
what will become of the road work."
"You are bringing in politics,

"Politics is at the bottom of it all, !"
retorted Hustace.

fist came down on the desk with a
crash. "This is not political mat.

Will Check Up Wireless.

Several messages from different parts
of the Pacific were received on the flag
ship and other vessels during the trip
up, and one is believed to have come
from San Francisco. The officer in
charge of this work will check up the
dispatches to ascertain just what ra-
dius the wireless took in.

Solace Gets Survivors.

The Solace made two trips to Suva.
The first time it was to get information
concerning the Aeon, and to send a
message from Suva to the Navy De-
partment at Washington, announcing
the fleets arrival at Pago Pago. The
Solace made second trip to get the
naval passengers of the wrecked Aeon
and take them to Pago Pago, the origi-
nal destination. In this party were
Chaplain Patrick and wife, two chill
dren and nurse, and the wife of Lieu
tenant Riddle. One of the children
was born on Christmas Island. The
Solace with these survivors aboard
reached Samoa after the flagship left
Pago Pago, and this information came
by wireless.

KAEA TOLD
TO SK|DD0O.

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.J
I, A resolution was passed by the Gen.
tral Committee of the Republican party
yesterday in which, after setting forth
George Kaea's long police record. the
committee arrives at the conclusion
that Kaea is not fit to be on the repro
sentative ticket, and repudiate him. The
committees resolution calls upon the \
County Committee to select new can
didate to fill the vacancy.
The resolution in setting forth the
police record for gambling, drunkenness
and wife-beating of candidate George
kaea, makes statement of the prin.
ciples of the Republican party as set
forth in its platform, and finds that
Kaea and these principles are not COM
patible.
Kaea, however, says he will stick to
the ticket.
catbeart Files Papers.
John Cathcart, the Republican par
tvs candidate for County Attorney
filed his nomination papers yesterday.
They were filed as Number 81. Carlos
Long, Independent candidate for the.
same office, filed his papers shortly af-
terward and they received the Num-
Der 33.
Kaea and Color Line.
There has been some fear on the
part OF campaign managers that the
effort to keep George Kaea, the gam
bier, off the Republican ticket, will be
considered by Hawaiian voters as a
drawing of the color line, and there is
talk among the Laborulas and Demo-
Gratis of using it as text to show that
the haoles are making discrimination
against Hawaiians. However, as there
is still another candidate on the ticket
who has been asked to withdraw, and
he is not Hawaiian, the chances are
that the Hawaiians will see that thew
are mistaken.

The Last Bugle Call.

During the cruise couple of seamen
died. One was buried at Pago Pago,
and the other was buried in Honolulu
yesterday with naval honors. The lat
ter was named Franzen, an oiler, who
had served for twenty-seven years in
the navy, and was soon to be retired.
The remains were followed to their last
resting place in Nuuanu valley by a
detachment of bluejackets from the
Maryland, to which vessel Franzen had
belonged, and by the cruisers band

Cruise of the warships.

Lieut.. Poteet, U. s. N, aide to Ad-
miral Swinburne, said that the cruise
had been quite uneventful. The war
ships left here on the 10th of Septem-
ber and arrived at Pago Pago on sched.
ule time, September 90 En- route all
the vessels stopped at the Equator to
adjust compasses and receive King Nep-
tune, his court officials and retinue,
aboard. The novices who had never be.
fore crossed the Equator were in;tiat-
ed, Neptune in this instance making the
ordeal more trying than usual. Several
hundred on board the flagship received
their certificates as subjects of Nep'
tune. The usual ceremonies of shaving
bathing, etc, were carried out.
The vessels expected to coal at Sa
moa on arrival, but the two British
steamships carrying coal from the At
lantic did not arrive until the end o,
the month. The'Strathyre was the frs
to arrive on Sept 90, and the Wes
Virginia and the destroyer Preble wen
alongside and coaled at once, followe
by the Maryland, Pennsylvania an
lastly the South Dakota and three dc
stroyers. The vessels did not leave III
til October for Honolulu. A secon
collier arrived and from tins the othe
, cruisers and torpedoboats and th
! solaee took their coal supply. The

will Cut Out San Diego.

Owing to the fleet being behind its
scheduled time, and the necessity for
the warships to get to Magdalena Bay
for the regular fall target practice, San
Diego may not see the fleet until after
the target practice is over. In that
case the feet will leave Honolulu and
go direct to Magdalena Bay. This will
give Honolulu contractors an oppor-
tunity to dispose of more supplies than
if the fleet had gone direct to San
Diego. The ships will take on about
10000 tons of coal.
Aboard the flagship it was stated that
the fleet would depart from Honolulu
entire, and in this case it may not be
until Monday before the warships get
away.

The Solace Fire.

Inquiry aboard the flagship as to the
nature of the alleged fire aboard the
Solace while at Samoa resulted in no
information at all on the subject, no
one appearing to know anything about
a fire on that vessel. If there was a
fire, one officer said, it was probably
in the bunkers. The coal is moved out
and cooled off, and then is moved back
again.

Destroyers Cast Of.

Destroyers Cast Of.
Owing to the loss of time occasioned
by the delay in coaling, and desiring
to reach Honolulu as quickly as pos
sible, Admiral Swinburne on Saturday
gave orders for the destroyers to be
set loose and proceed to Honolulu under
their own power. They kept pace with
the cruisers at 12 1.2 knots. The sec.
ond division viii do likewise. In this
way extra time was made.
But this was using up coal and when
the Preble arrived in the harbor Lieut.
Commander Freeman, in command, stat
ed that he was down to his last ton,
in fact, the men were digging into this
ton. He had hoped to keep this as his
nest-egg. When the coal supply began
to run short, Captain Freeman did not
slacken the amount going into the fur
naces. Had the fuel given out, it is
likely, according to the reputation Cap
tain Freeman has, he would have used
up the loose furniture to make port.
And as to Captain Freeman, he is one
of the best liked officers that stands on
a bridge. He is daring torpedo skip
per, and is generally known in the navy
as "Freddy Fearnot." He was in COM
mand of the waterfront detachments
fighting fire during the San Francisco
confagration.

May Leave October II.

Shortly after noon, the Pearl Harbor
committee of the local entertainment
committee, called upon Admiral Swim
burne and Chief of Staff Oliver to as
certain the length of the fleets stay
here. AS far as the Admiral could
state then, the feet would leave on the
date originally planned, October IL,
next Saturday, or possibly the day fol-
lowing.
The early departure OF the feet
means cutting out the proposed excur.
sion to Pearl Harbor planned by the
committee. 1t was intended to take
the officers of the fleet to the harbor,
going by train and using the station tug
Iroquois, either going to the harbor
or returning from it.

While at Pago Pago there were more
salutes fred than at any other place for
long time, at least in the Pacific.
About every vessel in the fleet saluted
during her stay in Samoan waters, and
when leaving for this port another
round was INDUCED in. Guns seemed
to be blazing away all the time. Ac-
cording to bluejacket, rain fell every
time a salute was fred.

Begin Coaling at Once.

An hour had not passed when the
bands aboard the Maryland and Penn.
sylvania began playing, the cranes
swung out over the wharves and the
bluejackets began sending the coal
aboard. They worked with will for
the sooner the coaling is completed the
more shore liberty they will be en-
titled to. The vessels now in port, four
cruisers and four destroyers, will be
coaled rapidly and will then move to
the outside anchorage, except the flag
ship.
While the fleet was coming up to-
ward the channel in the forenoon the
cruiser Colorado, from San Francisco,
rounded the Diamond Head. The ves-
sci, which joins the feet and becomes
part of it, was anchored outside.
By Friday Admiral Sebree's division
of cruisers and destroyers will reach
Honolulu, and as soon as those vessels
are coaled the feet will start for the
Pacific coast

Thought They Were Afraid.

Kealoha admitted he HAD never heard
of anything wrong before the petition
came in. Then came the voting. Archer
voted against the petition; Cox was
kanalua and SO was Dwight. Fern and
Harvey voted aye and Kealoha did
likewise. Then the supervisors began
to discuss the matter again. Up to this
time Kealoha had not said anything,
although he is the Koolau supervisor.
Then Harvey prodded him to make a
statement. One came almost automa'
tically, and it was devoid of argument
A petition had come in and should be
sustained. Harvey had moved to sus

QUEER M|XUP in
JAPANESE NAMES

A curious incident growing out Of
our very much mixed population is EN-.
balmed in series of conveyances which
have just been filed for record with
Registrar Merriam. The Honpa Hong
wanji Mission of Hawaii, is an incor-
poration which succeeded to volun-
tary organization of practically the
same name, and represents the mission
ary work and accomplishment here of
the Hongwanji sect of Buddhism, one
of the eight great sects into which
Buddhists are divided in Japan. The
conveyances filed are to confirm the
title to the property that has been
acquired in the corporation that has
been formed. One of the deeds is from
Mrs. r. j. Lyman and her husband
r. j. Lyman, and Hizo Himeji, to the
Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii,
and is to correct an error which is thus
described in the deed
"And whereas by error, the grantee in

Finally, they decided that the assault
must be made from the water side, and
they hired boats, slipped under the
stern quarters, and climbed up on the
dock. They needed not the eye of the
gangway sentries, and made wild dashes
up the ladders. One laundryman who

ILLINOIS VALLEY GRANGE.

A most enjoyable picnic was held

In the afternoon program was
rendered which was remarkable for
quality. After song by the Grange
a most able address was made by w.

EDUCATIONAL METHODS
MAY BE IMPROVED

A nnmber of County School Super.
intendents met in Salem ON the 10th
aud lith inst, TO attend a state con.
vention of County School Superin
tendents. Many important matters
relating to the management of school
affairs and to school legislation were
considered. There is likslihood that
committee to confer with committees
from the State Teachers Association
and the State Grange will be sp.
sointed to draft bills to be presented
at the next session of the State Legis-
lsture in regard to changing the unit
of administration of school affairs
from the district to the county.
Under this plan it is proposed to
have county board of education. in
which will be vested practically all
the powers of the various boards of
School Directors of the respective dis
tricts. The various schools of the
county will be conducted Oh about the
same basis as the schools Of city.
II is proposed to unite several schools,
forming districts over which there
shall be supervising principal. The
principal will visit each of the schools
under his supervision once day OF
twice a week, as he finds convenient.
The entire county will have over il
general supervisor. who shall con.
duct the work Of the principals. In
connection with this proposed change
in the administration the So erin
tsndent will discuss the best method
of apportioning school funds, the
desirabilty of increasing the ate
school funds and other matters relat-
ing to the mainte nance Of schools, and
especially in the rursl and less popu.
lated districts. 1t is expected that
bill will be recommended increasing
the school term 10 the rural district to
at least FIVE months.
LACK OF trained teachers in this
state is one of the problems with
which the school officials are con-
fronted. 1t will be the endeavor of
the principals to evolve some plan
whereby trained teachers from eastern
states may be admitted to the schools
Of this state on presentation Of life
diploma from some recognized train
ing school Of equal standing with the
normal schools Of this state. In what
manner superintendent should be q
factor in selecting teachers is another
subject which will be given attention
as will also the operation Of the com.
pulsory law.

WELCOME HOME TO
MINISTER AND BRIDE

LAST Friday evening one of the pleas.
antest events of the season took place
at the Baptist church when Mrs.
Frederick @. Lovett was formally
introduced to the many friends that
her husband has made in Grants Pass.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lovett stood in bower
of flowers and under very pretty
marriage bell of roses and were in.
troduced by Mrs. Patillo and Mrs.
Couklin. Over 100 guests were
present and the evening was one
which will long be remembered for its
social amenities.
After listening to an organ solo all
adjourned TO the main body Of the
church and Mr. Conklin asked Rev,
Robert Mclean to lead in prayer, fol-
lowed by scripture reading by Rev.
Cleaves. Mr.. Sharp gave Mrs. Lovett
hearty welcome ON behalf of the
bachelors to which that good lady apt
ly replied. Rev. Alexander Maolean
spoke for the married men and was
answered by Rev. Lovett. A vocal
solo "Plains Of Peace" was pleasingly
rendered by Miss Nina Paddock, and
this part of the program ended with
singing "Blest Be the Tie That
Binds" in which all joined. Another
social honr was indugled in while the
ladies served punch and waters.
The members Of the church pre-.
seuted the pastor and his bride with a
handsome set of China.
