MARINE RAILWAY
MAY De REMOVED

A definite movement appears to be
now IN foot for the shifting of the
p.aTine railway or its removal, accord
ing to statement made yesterday
afternoon by f. l. Spalding to the
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Spalding is the chairman of the
committee on harbors, shipping and
transportation, which has been look
ing iinto the question of the marine
railway IN relation to the claim that
in its present location it is a menace
to navigation in the harbor.
The harbor committee was called
upon to report yesterday, whereupon
Mr.. Spalding stated that at the pres
ent time no definite report could be
made,
valuable data collected. as a re-
suit of which the marine railway NAV
be altered or removed altogether. has
been submitted by US to the Superin-
tendent of Public Works. This data
is now being considered by him and
until a report upon the matter is made
by Mr.. Campbell, we cannot report to
this body"

D. R. READY To BUILD
MILITARY TRACKS

Military and naval work at Pearl
Harbor, military construction at Leile-
hua, and the extension of the pineapple
business at both Wahiawa and Pupuu-
kea, have caused the Oahu Railroad and
Land Company to plan for an extension
of its system to meet the new require
ments.
AS to Pearl Harbor, the railroad
passes close to the reservation, but a
spur will be put in at Puuloa and run
to the proposed entrance to the naval
reservation, where the track will meet
that to be laid down by the navy de-
partment. That there viii be need for
early rail extension to the naval sta
tion, as well as through it, may be
judged by the fact that the steamship
Hilonian is bringing two big coast de-
fense guns to Honolulu, and they will
be here next week. The carriages and
other fittings arrived on the Lurline.
These are for the Pearl Harbor outer
defenses. The carriages and fittings
are extremely heavy, and the guns will
require considerable handling to get
them to the location being prepared for
them on the Waikiki side of the Pearl
Harbor channel.
A railroad official stated yesterday
that the company was ready to build to
Pearl Harbor whenever track laying
became necessary. As the Leilehua
army post project was new, the com
pany was surprised, but agreeahly so,
at the information, bat it is quite ready
to spread its track from the Wahiawa |
line to whatever site is chosen for the /
cavalry and artillery post In addition
considerable extra trackage is to be
laid this season to care for the next |
season s pineapple crop,
In the shops thirty-fve box cars are
being built to handle the coming pine
crop, as that at Pupuukea viii require
considerable attention

TARIFF CHANGES
NOT REQUESTED
Diversified Industry Promoters
Seem to Overlook
Opportunity.

The individuals and corporations in
terested in the diversified industries of
Hawaii do not take the steps to protect
their interests which the sugar men are
taking and have taken, according to the
report submitted by special commit
tee on required tariff amendments at
the meeting of the Chamber of Com
meree yesterday. The report stated
that the question of the tariff on sugar
was being looked after by the Wash
ington representative of the Sugar
Planters Association, acting in con-
junction with the representatives of the
beet sugar men of the mainland and the
cane sugar men of the South; pineap-
pies are being taken care of by Mr..
Mcclellan, but the producers of rub
ber, coffee, sisal, tobacco, honey and
wax and bananas either submitted no
data for the committee to work on or
stated no hope of receiving tariff pro-
lection.
The requests for data sent out by the
committee asked that these be sent in
not later than December /, but, in view
of the fact that to be of service at the
hearings of the Committee on Ways and
Means of Congress, the report had to
be forwarded on the Alameda yesterday
t0asDelegate Kalanianaole. 1t is posi-
BILE that the early closing of the com
mittee's work may have shut out some
data which would be ready by the date
limit set.
The report reviews the proceedings of
the tariff revision meeting called in
August by Governor Frear and Dele
gate Kuhio, at which the special COM
mittee, consisting of Jas. F. Morgan,
E. D. Tenney, George w. Smith, E. E.
Paxton, and Albert Waterhouse, was ap-
pointed.

At the trustees meeting there were
present, in addition to the trustees,

tees on the work done at Washington
by the convention of the delegates of
master mariners from the various asso-
Citations of the Union and asked the
endorsement of the members to the pro-
posal to have Honolulu represented
again at Washington this session.
The Captain stated that the Hawai-
ian representative two years ago had
succeeded in securing appropriations for
the Makapuu light, the one on Molokai,
the new front and rear range lights
for Honolulu and the lighthouse tender,
securing these appropriations after
Delegate Kuhio and Secretary MeCIel-
Ian had decided that there was no use
| asking for them.
A number of questions were asked as
to whether the presence of delegate
from the local harbor would be agree
able to the Delegate, Captain Piltz stat
ing that he was bringing the matter
before the trustees on Kuhio's urging.
This year Captain Tullett and Captain
Gregory had been nominated, but the
choice between the two had not yet
been made. What was wanted was the
endorsement of the chamber in order
to make it possible to raise the amount
wanted, $14OO, to cover the cost of

On motion of E. I. Spalding, second

There was a general discussion among
the trustees as to how far they should
go in making recommendations to Con-

works for places outside of Honolulu
from where no requests for their assist

cided that in regard to Hilo affairs,
where there were capable commercial
organizations to look after their own
interests, the Honolulu chamber would

Ihe matter came up on the readlng
of a communication from President
James F. Morgan, part of which said:
1'The suggestion that we devise some
entertainment for 1912 to celebrate the
opening of Pearl Harbor is really an
admirable one and I suggest that an
immediate start be made by asking Vice
4 President Cooke to appoint commit
Y tee of at least five members to take
this matter in charge now.
'sThis committee should Immediately
let it be known by newspaper advertise
fnent and circulars addressed to promi-
nent people that this celebration is to
occur, and / think that we will receive
a great deal of encouragement, for the
event is not local one, but is of ma
tional import I think if we take the
matter up in time, it will be very easy
TO have a great naval demonstration to
Assist us.
The trustees intend to lose no time in
launching the initial plans for the cele-
'bration, the idea expressed yesterday
being that for a celebration such as
would be fitting for the event there was
not any too much time now for prepara-
tion. 1t was suggested that the COM
mittee of five be carefully chosen and
the members asked to remain in charge
of the plans for the event until it
comes off.
Appreciation of Good Work.
The trustees meeting yesterday was
held at the conclusion of a well attend
ed meeting of the chamber, at which
a number of important matters were
taken up. The report of c. NJ. Cooke,
regarding the reception to the CONNER
cial delegates to japan, was read; the
various reports from the Hawaiian dele
gates to the Mohonk conference were
presented; report from the secretary
!. that he had received upwards of two
hundred letters as a result of the cireu-
Station of copies of the Advertiser con-
faining Consul Mitchell's s address be-
fore the chamber, was read, and it was
decided that the chamber authorize its
secretary to write to DR.. Cofer, stating
the appreciation of the body of the
good work done IN Hawaii by him dur
ing the time he was head of the quar-
antine service at Honolulu.

Paris, March 19.-Official advices

ter, cables that the government has
abandoned it's intransigent attitude,
that the re-embarkation of the refu-

safe conducts have been grated for
the departure of General Firmin and
the other revolutionary agitators who
had taken asylum at the legations and
consulates at Port au Prince and Con

for this improved state of affairs to

SMIRNOFF BADLY WOUNDED
Fights Duel With General Fock at St.
Petersburg.

SeSl oNOi "
st. Petersburg, March 19.-Lieuten-
ant General Smirnoff was probably ia
tally wounded in a duel fought here
with Lieutenant General Fock The
men met in the riding school of the
Chevalier guard regiment and fought
with pistols, standing close to each
other when the shots were exchanged.
The duel was caused by the mem
orandum written by General Smirnoff
on the siege of Port Arthur, in which
he questioned the courage of General
Flock. The latter considered that his
honor and reputation were involved
and challenged the author of the
memorandum.
The riding school was placed at the
disposition of the combatants by the
commander of the regiment and the
duel occurred with the full knowledge
and appreciation of the military au-
thorities. It was witnessed by several
! officers of high rank and it is even
reported that several women were
present.
General Smirnoff was acting COM
mandant of the Port Arthur fortress
during the siege and at the time of it's
surrender to the Japanese After his
return to Russia he prepared a secret
report of the defense of Port Arthur,
which was the basis of the indict-
ments on which Lieutenant General
Stoessel, Lieutenant General Fock and
| Major General Reiss were tried for
their lives before the supreme court
| martial.
