HONOLULU PRETTY
NEAR To PARADISE

OAKLAND, November ,17.-"No-
body can ever expect to get nearer q
paradise where there are automobiles
than is Honolulu, ~ is the opinion Attor-
ney George w. Reed expresses, he hav-
ing just arrived on the steamship Man
churia from the ISLANDS this morning.
Delightful ocean voyage, free from
all sickness; perfect climate in the is
land capital, and wholesome hospitality,
made the trip one of keen delight
throughout for Mr.. Reed, who took it
to get vacation from his legal work.
but none more than the delightful eli
mate with which the city of Homo
lulu, with more than $4,000 in habi-
tants, is blessed, Not only is the
climate perfect, but the civic appoint
ments, such as telephone, electricity
and street car systems, make the city
particularly enjoyable for the traveller.
The immense possibilities of the is
lands, with the tremendous agricultural
wealth, convinced Mr.. Reed that the
Territory has brilliant commercial
future before it.
cone thing that is going to have a
great stimulative effect on the city and
the islands, he said. is the naval
station at Pearl Harbor, where the
Federal government is spending mil
lions of dollars in constructing the best
naval station in the world. I visited
the harbor with the officers from the
'acific squadron and was surprised at
the magnitude of the undertaking.
"The largest vessels can enter this
harbor, the banks are capable of Civ
ing perfect defense, and the channel is
large enough to accommodate all the
ships belonging to the nation.
some company is now establishing a
2OOO-acre pineapple plantation, erect
ing its own cannery and creating a
colossal industry.
'"The government experimental farm
is experimenting with cotton, which is
expected to become one of the most
valuable of the island crops. The su,
gar, coffee and sisal plantations are
wonderful sights, and speak eloquently
for the future of that island.
"Three hundred automobiles are in
use in Honolulu, being particularly en-
ioyable, owing to the perfect roads.
The island is netted with modern cleo
trio lines. I think every person should
visit that island, as it is the most beau.

MEANING OF
SAKE DECISION

The decision in the sake case by the
United States Supreme Court, reported
by cable yesterday, is taken by law.
yers to mean that the case will now
be brought by certiorari before the
Supreme Court for final decision.
The sake case involves several thou.
sand dollars paid under protest in
duties on the Importation of sake from
Japan, the customs authorities CLASH
flying sake as a wine and charging the
high rate of duty provided under the
tariff schedule for that commodity.
The importers, on the other hand,
claim it is q beer, or like beer, and
should pay much lower rate of duty.
The question has been litigated as to
different importations of the commodi-
ty, in number of United States dis.
trict or circuit courts. In every case
the courts held with the importers, ex.
cept in the last case tried, in which
Judge De Haven in San Francisco de-
cided in favor of the government.
In these cases, as long as the i'm.
porters won in the trial courts, they
were powerless to carry the case to the
United States Supreme Court. and so
have the case determined definitely
The United States having won one
case, the importers appealed, and the
decision now rendered means that the
Supreme Court will give definite de-
cision which will settle all the possible
cases that might be brought, and either
confirm the treasury department in its
ruling or determine that the import
ers are right in their contention and
are entitled to rebate of the duties
they have paid under protest.
The question was originally raised
by the late Harry Johnston, as customs
broker for local importers and most
OF the litigation was carried on by
him.

PLAN
FOR EXHIBITION

The local poultry keepers are active
ly lining up for the Hawaiian Poultry
Association fourth annual exhibition,
to be held on January 10, IA, Is and
l6. 1909. The seasons breeding has
been highly satisfactory, and the ia
vorites will crowd hard for first
honors
But the veteran exhibitors are not
to have the race alone. Many nov
ices, whose interest in pure-bred poul.
try was reused by previous shows, are
fitting. their best birds for rub with
them, and in some instances will com
pete with the breeders who supplied
them with eggs or stock. The pigeon
fanciers will also make the usual fine
showing of many beautiful varieties.
Each annual show has brought out
improved quality in the various breeds
of poultry, and stimulated interest and
faith in pure-bred stock as giving
better flesh for the table, more omelets
to the square foot, and costing no
more to keen than the common fowl
besides, affording pleasing out-of-
door diversion to men, women and
children.
Honolulu has, for years past, been
receiving frequent shipments of the
most favored breeds from the yards of
some of America Is noted poultrymen,
in. both the East and West. Modern
methods are in full prctise here, with
the result that more and better. poul-
try and eggs seem assured-the show
room serving as an educator, the fan
cier as a promoter. and the public as
patron and supporter.
The Hawaiian Poultry Association
has given three creditable annual exhi-
billions, and is now shaping its fourth
to excel them. 1t offers the regular
cash prizes, several silver cups, and, by
virtue of its membership in the Amer
lean Poultry Association, is authorized
to offer silver medals and diplomas
from that body Judging is to be by
score card. with Mr.. George R. An

SHORE DUTY OF
UNCLE SANS MARINES

Following the recommendation Of
several line officers of the Navy, nota-
bly, Rear Admiral Evans, the Presi.
dent has directed the gradual with.
drawal of marines from all the vessels
of the Navy, assigning them to shore
duty exclusively.
Marine officers assert that the Pres.
ident,'s action in hard blow to the
Marine Corps, the entire history of
which is associated with the Navy in
engagements afioat as well as ashore.
Some officers of the corps charge Ger.
tain naval officers with jealousy of the
fine, record of the marines on war
ships and with secretly intriguing for
the abolition of the corps as an unnec-
essary appendage
One of them said today that there
is really. less need for the Marine
Corps on shore than there is on ship
board, and that the duties now as
signed to the corps could be just as
well performed by the Army.
The President order, which was is.
sued today after conference with AS.
sistant Secretary Newberry, is as fol
lows:
SIN accordance with the power
vested in me by section 1919, Revised
Statutes of the United States, the fol-
lowing duties are assigned to the
United States Marine Corps:
=" "a To garrison the different navy
yards and naval stations. both within
and beyond the continental limits of
the United States.
4'(2) To furnish the first line of the
mobile defense of naval bases and
naval stations beyond the continental
limits of the United States.
"(3) To man such naval defenses
and to aid in manning, if necessary,
'snch other defenses as may he erected
for the defense of naval bases and
naval stations beyond the continental
limits of the United States.
900 To garrison the Isthiam Canal
Zone, Panama.
$50 To furnish such garrisons and
expeditionary forces for duties beyond
the seas as may be necessary in time
of peace. T"

BLAKE CLAIMS
HE WAS ELECTED

An election contest was begun in
the Supreme Court Saturday. Charles
Blake, the Democratic candidate for
Auditor for the County of Kauai, who
on the face of the returns lacked only
five votes of election, has begun con
test against his successful Republican
competitor, George T.. II. Baker.
Blake, it will be remembered, was
supposed to have been elected before
the returns from Niihau had been re-
ceived. But that bailiwick cast its
thirty-eight votes solidly for Baker,
giving him plurality of four votes
over Blake.
Blake alleges that there were in the
county about 1000 votes cast for Audi
tor. OF these the returns gave Baker
429 and Blake 1925. But he alleges that
many votes that were cast for Blake
were not counted and that many votes
were for Baker which ought not to
have been so counted. He particularizes
the precinct of Lihue where the count
gave Baker los votes when it ought
only. to have given him 90, and gave
Blake only 6 when it ought to have
given fim 70.
The Supreme Court is asked to rec
tify these errors and give the Office to
Blake

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

Editor Advertiser: "Where are the
banks and the leading business houses
"Where are the retail stores located
"Where is the custom house?
"Where are the government build
ihgs7
/ "'Where is the Oriental section of
Honolulu
"Where are the residence sections of
fhe cityf
"Where are the steamship docks7
"Where are the principal lines of
communication, main streets, trolley
lines, etc.?
"Where do the people want the post
officei'
These are fair samples of the ques-
tions asked, me by the Supervising
Architect of the Treasury, Mr.. Jas. K.
Taylor, and his assistants Col. Lowe and
Mr.. Wetmore, at several interviews in
Washington in September, 1906, at the
time the bids for the site for Federal
building were opened, and I answered
them by filing map of Honolulu, Civ
ing the desired information.
At later interview Mr.. Taylor as
sured me that the wishes of the bust
ness community were always considered
in such cases and that the expressed
desires of the people would be taken
4 into account in deciding upon a site.
To change the location at this date
seems very strange to say the least.
Yours truly,

RESOLUT IONS
ARE TO Be
STRONG
tFrom Sundays Advertiser,

Meetings were held yesterday of both
the special committees appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce and the Mer-
chants Association to draft resolutions
of protest against the proposed ex-
change of the Mahuka site property
for that of the site on Palace Square
offered for the Federal building and
in both meetings there was unanimity
of opinion regarding the nature of the
resolutions to be presented. From what
has been stated since the meetings by
members of each committee, the reso-
buttons are to be strong and to the
point, protesting against the exchange
and asking the Treasury Department to
reconsider its latest action in the mat
ter and not force fight in Congress
OVER the exchange.
A number OF cable messages were
exchanged between Honolulu and Wash
ington over the matter yesterday, both
the Chamber and the Association
cabling to learn the exact status of
the deal.
The Merchants Association will meet
tomorrow morning at ten O'Clock, by
which time their resolution will be
ready for action. 1t is beyond doubt
that the resolution will be adopted,
very probably without debate. Then
cables will be sent to Delegate Kalani-
anaole, Secretary Winthrop, Governor
Frear and G. B. Mcclellan.
The Chamber of Commerce committee
meets tomorrow morning at nine clock
to draft their resolution, to be present
ed at the meeting of the Chamber at
three o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is
understood that the Chamber will also
use the cable to inform those interested
on the mainland of their action.
There has been absolutely no change
in public opinion on the question of the
undesirability of the proposed ex-
change, so far as expressions of opinion
on the street are concerned.

AGENTS WILL BRING SETTLERS HERE

The first definite movement to
bring settlers to Umatilla county this
spring was made this morning when
B. S. Swingle of Grand Forks, n. D.,
and C. H Woodward of Mooresville,
Ind, left this city for the east to or
ganize a small colony of settlers for
the Furnish irrigation project at
Echo.
These gentlemen have been employ
ed by the Furnish ditch people to car
ry on personal campaign among in
tending colonists to the west and 1t
is thought that definite results will
follow their work in the eastern state.
Mr. Swingle will be employed in
North Dakota and Minnesota, and Mr..
Woodward will work in Indiana and
adjoining states and their work will
consist in following up advert sements
which have been sent to intending
settlers by the Furnish people during
the past few months.
BY calling upon the people who
have received circulars concerning
Umatilla county 1t is thought that
many of them can be induced to come
to this section of the state and these
agents will go through the country
districts soliciting and advertising

Because the directors OF school
district No. a did not give Miss Zena
Mettie, their teacher. due and legal
notice before discharging her, their
action has been reversed by the coun-
" superintendent and Miss Mettie is
still the legally employed teacher for
the school.
After several days of consideration
the decision i'm the above case was
given this afternoon by superintend.
ent 'Welles and copies of the opinion
have been mailed to the parties con-
cerned. In reversing the school
boards decision Mr.. Welles did not
take up the merits of the controversy
between the teacher and board but
ruled against the latter because they
did not give their teacher due notice
of trial and also because they did
not tell her the nature OF the charges
against her.
In his written opinion given today
Superintendent Welles states that un-
der the law n school board wishing to
dismiss a teacher must furnish the
latter with a writtenA copy of the
charges against him five days before
the date set for the hearing, In Miss
Mettie's case she was never Informed
of the charges against her until she
attended the board meeting which
was called to dispense with her serv-
ices.
Upon the importance OF school
boards living up to the letter of the
law the decision says:
"In my opinion the law which re-
qures a school board to give teach
er due and legal notice before ex-
peling him is very important onc
and that the failure on the part OF
board to comply with 1t is a fatal
error
