Washington, March 5, 1908.
EDITOR HAWAIIAN STAR.-As in
timated by my cable to the Governor
on February goth and referred to in
my last letter, the favorable develop
ments in subcommittee" were the de-
cisive factor in swinging the Naval
Committee as a whole and securing the
favorable action on Pearl Harbor as
Cabled on the 2Sth.
The Bates bill, as formulated by the
subcommittee, was reported without
amendment; it is more comprehensive
than any official estimates that have
yet been submitted by the Navy De-
partment in that it provides for chan
mel work, machine shops, storehouses
and general development, and not for
a dry dock alone.
When the Pearl Harbor bill came up
for final action in the Naval Commit
tee on Friday, the few senior mem
bers who have been opposed to action
this year moved to again postpone ac-
tion; but the unanimous action of the
subcommittee had so united our sup
porters in the subcommittee and in
fluenced others who were before un-
decided, that it was seen that a clear
majority of the committee was in
favor of immediate action; the opposi-
tion was accordingly withdrawn, and
no vote was actually cast against the
favorable reporting of the bill.
Much credit is due Mr.. Bates for the
generalship he displayed in handling
the measure, both in his subcommittee
and in the meeting OF the whole nava
committee. Captain Hobson, Mr.
Thomas, Mr.. Loudenslager and Others
of the committee also gave us valuable
help Mr.. Lilley was not able to bt
present at the meeting. The tide o.
sentiment in the committee was turn
ed, primarily by the vigorous and per
sistent work of our friends in thu
House and in the committee. Congress
is deciding. this class of questions foI
itself this year.
The threatened conflict in the Nava
Committee between the respective ad
vocates of floating docks and a CRAVING
dock was so shaped up that it va
turned to our advantage in the frs
round. The advocates of the bill TO
two steel docks started in to oppos

KUHIO WRITES
POLITICAL ADVICE
SAYS SHOULD DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION, INSTRUCTED AS TO CANDIDATES BUT ms
sTRUCTED THE MAINTENANCE OF THE PRoTEC-
TARIFF.

l do however strongly advise that
the delegation be definitely instructed
to vote only for such candidate or can
didates as most strongly stand for the
American protective principle.
There is a tariff revision ahead Of
us, and that will then be the all-im-
portant thing for Hawaii. 1t would
therefore seem to be obviously the
part of consistent fairness and SOUND
policy for Hawaii to openly throw
what little influence she has with the
strongest advocates of Protection with
in the party, so that we can consis
tently ask for their friendly interes
in the days of tariff revision.
Very truly yours,
J. K. KALANIANAOLE,
Delegate to Congress.

MAUI BOND TEST

A suit was filed in the Supreme court
today on an agreed statement of facts
under the title of w T. Robinson,
citizen of Maui, on his own behalf, and
on the behalf of other citizens, VS.. l..
NJ. Baldwin, treasurer of the County
of Maui. The suit is for the purpose
of settling some points at issue, as TO
the legality of the Maui County bond
issue, insisted upon by the banks be-
fore the bonds will be purchased. The
Supreme Court is ascked to determine
in general the legality of the act of
the Legislature authorizing the bond
issue in question, and of all the pro-
ceedings leading from it.
Also on the legality of the act from
being passed over Governor Carter's
veto because Carter held that the act
presumed to dictate the approving OF
it by the President, although the At
torney Generals department at WASH
ington has since sustained the Legis-
lature in this point.
The fact that the Maui supervisors
did not definitely set the time for the
running of the bonds, is another point
which may affect their legality.
Most important probably is the ques-
tion as to how far the County bond
issue may be impaired by the issues of
Territorial bonds. Smith & Lewis are
the attorneys in the case.

would otherwise on account of

RADIO, where some of his most ia
nous work as mining engineer has
been accomplished. For time
Mr.. Hammond made Denver his
home and has made frequent visits
to it since his departure. In min
ing circles he is known for his re-
port on the Stratton Independence
mine after it was purchased by
English capitalists, by his report
on the Camp Bird mine before it
was sold by Thomas F. Walsh to
the Venture company of London,
and his work for the Guggen-
helm interests as their chief min
ing expert. He is one of the high
est salaried men in his profession
and is known from one side of
the globe to the other.
Mr.. Hammond was born in San
Francisco and still calls Califor-
mia his home. He is 53 years old.
He is a graduate of the Sheffield
Scientific school of Yale, and has
received the degree of Ph.B. and
NJ. A. at that college. He also
took a course at the Royal School
of Mines at Freiburg, SaXony.
In his travels all over the world
from the wilds of South Africa to
Mexico, Mr.. Hammond has figured
in many stirring adventures. He
was once consulting engineer for
Cecil Rhodes in the Transvaal,
and it was while engaged in that
work that probably the most in
teresting episode of his life ccur-
red. He was one of the four lead
ers in the reform movement in
the Transvaal from 1895 to 1896.
He was not in sympathy with the
Jameson raid, but following it he
was arrested and sentenced to
death. This sentence was later
committed to Is years imprison-
ment, but he secured his release
by the payment of 1925 900 fine.
He had enough of the Transvaal
and, as quickly as he could make
the journey. hied to London. He
subsequently returned to the
United States.
-Four years after he left college,
Mr.. Hammond was appointed spe-
cial expert in the United States

Prophet Says City Is to Be Destroyed
Because Its Men Are Very Wicked.
Hundreds View Phenomenon
MANY ARE READY TO SWEAR TO IT

Florence, Colo, June 4.-Some
of the residents of this city are
greatly perturbed over what they
claim was the appearance of a
shining angel in the heavens last
night, which phenomenon is
vouched for by some of the lead
ing citizens of the town in the
valley.
1t was not the appearance of
the celestial being that alarmed
them, but it was because certain
man had prophesied that the city
was to be destroyed between June
10 and 20, 1908. and that mes
senger from the heavens woulu
appear to warn unbelievers of the
approaching catastrophe.
This was foretold some weeks
ago, but was not given much
thought by the inhabitants The

of the Lord. was to descend upon
the city because the old men We're

The timely discovery of flames

a serious fire. The marshal was
in that neighborhood on business
with Mr.. George Kendrick when
he noticed an area about three
feet square was smoking.
With the assistance of the two
men and a garden hose the fire
was extinguished. 1t is believed
that the fire was caused by a
spark from chimney nearby.

mitted other graver follies.
A tornado is due to strike the
heart of the city, and the debris
is to wreak havoc among the pop
ulace, runs the prophecy. A San
ia Fe train, going from Canon
City to Florence, will be picked
up and hurled from the track
and hundreds will be killed.
Little attention would be given
the speech of the prophet except
that there were more than 100
prominent citizens of Florence
this morning who were willing to
swear they saw the angel. Among
them We're the wife of State Sen
ator NJ. f. Lewis, Magistrate and
Mrs. johnson and daughter, who
are willing to make oath of the
presence, high in the sky, of the
angel.
There are many who scofs at
this and declare that imagination
IS wholly responsible for the So
called vision, but those who take
the affirmative are equally posi-
tive as to its appearance.

father to Washington, was going
through the famous Barbary

of the men from his ship enter a
saloon run in conjunction with a
dance hall. Out of curiosity he
entered and saw a successful at
tempt made to take 500 gold
piece from one of his men.
He promptly intervened and
prevented the theft. but the crowd
of loafers round about evinced
immediate resentment at his ac.
ton. A fight was imminent when
Lieut., Evans drew a revolver and,

eyes on either bluejacket.
An alarm. meanwhile. had been
given and the police. closing in,

against Lieut.. Evans. but he was
released. and when the police
court convened this morning the
charge was erased from the books.
The enlisted men. William Ed
