CEssrTY ACCOMMODATION FOR MATsoN NAVIGATION


Negotiations are on with G. Brewer
e Company to give up their lease of
the building which they occupy at pre-
sent, and which belongs to the Ter
ritorial Government in order that the
scheme of harbor improvements, which
has been laid out by Superintendent
of Public Works Campbell and approv-
ed by Governor Frear, may be carried
out. The Brewer building, upon which
the company holds a lease for about
ten more years, stands directly in the
way of the proposed improvements and
must be moved completely from it's
present location before the plans can
be carried out.
The evident object of taking up this
matter at the present time appears to
be that the wharf and slips of the

QUESTION
OF Time
KNOTTY POINT IN ELECTION CON-
TEST WHICH ONLY THE COURT
CAN DECIDE.

An interesting point for the Supreme
Court to decide will come up in the
contest for the mayoralty between
John Lane and Joe Fern. According
to statement made to a Star report
er this afternoon by one of the in
spectors of election in the 14th pre-
cinct of the Fifth District where il is
alleged that voting took place after
3 o'clock, it may have been done le-
gally. He says that those who voted
after this time, numbering between
ten and twenty, had been given their
ballots by the inspectors of election
before the hour when the polls were
to close. The fact that others who
were voting took a long time was the
cause of the delay.
Whether the inspectors are allowed
to judge for themselves in this man
ner, or whether the strict letter of the
law must be followed, is a matter
which the Supreme Court must decide.
If the Court finds that these votes
were illegally cast, then the question
comes in regard to what shall be done.
1t is apparent that it cannot be prov
ed that the voters mentioned were for
one candidate or the other and the
only two things which can be done
are to disregard the matter or throw
out the vote of the entire precinct.

of oxen, mules, implements and TWEEN
ty dollars gold each north for the
first year. After the first year, after
the land produces, the government
takes a percentage of profits from each
landholder until the cost is realized
and the government is reimbursed for
it's outlay in animals, implements and
the monthly cash advance for tue first
year.
The idea of the cash advance is to
supply each family with something
wherewith to purchase immediate ne
cessaries until the land produces.
1t is also promised that the Mexican
government will advance the trans
portation from Hawaii for the 250 fam
lilies desired from here. Three thou
sand families are, altogether, required
for the Oaxaca tract.
Within a short space the local
agents will be advised by the repre-
sentative of the local Portuguese in
the City of Mexico as to whether or
not everything is as represented to be
and, if all is well. it is expected that
early next year a thousand Honolulu
Portuguese will leave for Mexico. Nat
urally they want to be very sure OF
what to expect, for they have, before,
been led into matters that proved dis

the emigration from Oahu of two hun

approximating something over a thou

The Mexican government has an Of
fer to those who are willing to develop
wheat land which has appealed al
ready to between seventy-five and a
hundred families of Portuguese in this
city and the heads of which families
have their names registered for the
trip to Mexico.
A representative of the settlement
here is now in the City of Mexico with
view to ascertaining if the promises
made by that government are what
they have been represented to be by
the agent of the scheme in Honolulu.
The Mexican government promises
one hundred acres of good, arabic land,
which needs no clearing, to each fam
lily. The tract which is to be devel-
oped in wheat, at Oaxaca, comprises
three hundred thousand acres and is
situated in a region where the climate
is similar to that of Hawaii.
Each family is to be given one hun
dred acres without any initial cost.
In addition to the land each family is
promised a substantial house, yoke

WALKING

There is great excitement over the

and the event promises to be unusual
interesting.
The proposition started with a lit.
tie good natured hiking talk between
Jack Densham of the Advertiser and
Herbert Ayres of the Pacific Weekly
Matt Heffern heard about it and en-
tered the contest and then Mccormick
booked his name. Now, at noon to-
day. it was decided to let in three
more and the list will probably be
swelled further before the day of the
big event. The three new ones to-
day are Lester Petrie of the Diamond
Head Athletic Club, Harry T. Lake and
Charlie Lambert. The prizes are sub
stantial in the sense that there is

Densham, who was at first going tc

which is increasing with tremendous
rapidity. According to the plans
which have been approved by Govern
or Frear, the slips on each side of the
present Matson wharf are to be ex-
tended toward Queen street for a dis
tance of about fifty feet. The extern
sion of the Waikiki slip means that
the slip will take up nearly half the
ground upon which the Brewer build

From Manila and Nagasak, having
left the latter port on November 20,
the United States Army transport Tho
mas, Captain Lyman. early this morn
ing arrived in port. She sails for San
Francisco at 3 o'clock this afternoon,
requiring no coal here.
For several days she has been en-
deavoring to reach Oahu by wireless,
but, for some reason, there was no
connection until the troopship was in
as close as thirty-ive miles.
Aboard the Thomas there are 534
passengers: 80 in the first cabin from
Manila and 10 in the cabin from Ma
gasaki for San Francisco; 40 second
cabin from Manila for San Francisco;
and 404 steerage. Steerage includes SO
Fifth Artillery men, 92 Army casuals,
81 military convicts, Ga enlisted Navy
men, 1O4 Marines, all from Manila;
and two Navy men from Nagasaki.
There are no passengers for Homo

Ferguson has been Manila Associat-
ed Press correspondent for several
years and now has a commission to
work in the interests of the great Phi
lippines Carnival
Thanksgiving Day was celebrated
with great eclat aboard the transport
The great American feast day was
the red letter day of the journey and
its celebration in the middle of the
Pacific with all the figures that are
usually associated with the festivities
ashore, bears eloquent testimony OF
| the efficiency of the transport officials
and the extent to which they will go
in their efforts to please their pas
sengers.
While Chief Steward Peterson was
the architect of the feast, his efforts
would have gone for naught without
the cordial cooperation of Captain
Lawrence D. Cabell, transport quar-
termaster, and the assistance of his
well trained corps of cooks, etc.
The Thomas Thanksgiving dinner
will remain a very pleasant memory
and while the first cabin passengers
enjoyed their feast and commented on
it's excellence, the spirit of the day
extended to the dining tables in ev-
cry section of the ship, from the cap
tain's cabin to the fire room mess
Elaborate decorations marked the
feast room in all sections of the ship
Dainty and attractive souvenir menr

their actual movements. They act as if
they were afraid to ask for information

President Castro is a law unto himself.
One Of his aides said today:
"President Castro is an extraordinary
man. No one knew he into nded to leave
Caracas until two days before he sailed.
He makes no one his confidant: he de-
cides everything. We simply await in
