MAYOR WILL do
ALL NOMINATING

Just who win be who officially on the
new Board of Supervisors is a question
that is worrying a good many in Homo
lulu, none more than the elected mem
bers of the Board themselves. The
question can not be answered at all
authoritatively, however, until after
the holding of caucus of Mayor Fern
and the Supervisors, a council which the
MayOr-elect has invited. AS the nam
ing of committees and their chairmen
lies altogether with the Mayor, the in
vitation to confer may be taken as an
indication that he has no intention of
trying to override the majority on the
Board or acting in any way high.
handedly.
Precisely what the duties of the
Mayor are to be and just where the line
runs between his prerogative and that
of the Board is not clear TO the man in
the street. On this question Charley
Achi, "the father of the municipal
bill, - has been consulted. He saws:
All appointments, under the muni-
cipal bill, must originate with the
Mayor. The Supervisors have not the
power of initiative 1t rests with them
to approve the nominations of the
Mayor, however, and unless thew ap-
prove the appointment can not be made.
The departmental heads, the elected
ones, are in full charge of their depart
ments, the only check on them being
the check the Board has of refusing to
appropriate money for the salaries of
the appointed officers and the right of

AUTO-TROLLEY-
HACK ACCIDENT

A hack struck by an automobile last
night on the Waikiki road opposite the
Levers road was knocked in the air
and dropped upon the Rapid Transit
track just as trolley car came along.
The trolley took hand in the game
and hurled the hack almost into the
ditch completing the wreck begun by
the auto. A woman and baby, who
were riding in the hack, and the driver,
miraculously escaped serious injury, al
though at first it was supposed that the
woman had been badly hurt. She was
hurried to the hospital in the patrol
wagon. Examination disclosed no in
juries, but the shock to her nerves was
certain.
From the statements Of passengers
on the car and information gathered
by the police, the auto was en- route to
town. So was the hack. The auto
smashed into the rear of the vehicle
and sent it up in the air, toppling 1t
over on the car tracks. A Rapid Tran
sit car bound for Waikiki struck the
hack as it fell on the rails and threw
it entirely over the track.
The auto was reported by the police
to be owned and driven by Dr. Murray,
the hack being driven by Joe Lucea.

SPENT NIGHT IN JAIL.
Mrs. Pankhurst and Daughter in
Strenuous Suffrage Campaign.

London, Oct 24.-The two most in
teresting figures in the recent rush"
of parliament by the suffragettes
were Mrs. Pankhurst. widow of DR..
Pankhurst, long a prominent barrister
of Manchester, and her enthusiastic
daughter, Miss Christabel. This
mother and daughter spent the night
in the Bow street jail accused of
breach of peace and thereby became
the heroines of suffragettes. They had
been summoned to appear in the
court in the morning. but refused and
in the evening surrendered themselves
too late for a hearing and so became
martyrs by being placed in prison.
The Pankhursts are leaders in the
votes for women crusades and were
founders of the Women's Social and
Political union, which gave vigor to
the present strenuous campaign. Miss
Christabel is herself a bachelor of
law and is a well educated lady of
high social standing. When she asked
to be called to the bar her plea was
denied and she then began her cru

Miss Pankhurst is a very attractive
young lady. She has curly light brown
hair and deep gray eyes. She is rich

any sphere in life. but has given up
every ambition of a social nature to
the same plane with men. She has

BUSINESS LOOKS WELL
Approaching Election Still Exerts
Some Influence, However.

New York, Oct 24-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Retail trade still reflects the inf1u-
ence of warm weather and the ap-
proach of election breeds conservatism
as regards heavy buying and the pro-
lection Of new enterprises. However,
there is more doing and more confident
buying of raw material by manufac-
turers who apparently forecast
change for the better in the latter part
of this year or the early part of next.
The large movement of wheat to mar
l1et is responsible for the optimist tenor
of reports from distributive centers in
the northwest. Effects of the drouth
are shown in almost total suspension
of steamboat traffic on the Ohio river
and it's tributaries, the holding up of
large quantities of coal along that
stream, the prevalence Of destructive
forest fires and the low stage of water
supplies. Reports as to collections vary,
being best in the northwest and poorest
at the south. The situation in textile
lines is interesting and not without en-
couragement. While jobbing trade is
confined largely to small Immediate
shipment or filling-in orders, there is
fair activity in the Chicago district and
farther west, where the breaking of the
drouth has helped sentiment. In the
cotton goods line one feature early was
a reduction in shifting prints, but later
enlarged demand was reported for print
cloths at Fall river and prices advanc-
ed from rs to R cents Confident Duy-
ing by a large printing interest is the
reported basis for the strength in de-
mand and prices. Raw silk prices are
firm and there is more buying this
week than for some time past Re-
orders of mems wearing goods are re-
ported of good volume but the feature
in this line is probably that present
purchasing is to fill in stocks. The
leather trades are quiet and heavy hem

while prices of sole feathers are f1rm.

Threatened by Flames.

Albany, Oct. 24.-Wfllis L. Moore,
chief of the United States weather
bureau at Washington, today advised
the state forest, fish and game COM
mission against trying the so-called
rain experiments, including the ex-
plosion of balloons, which were sug-
gested as possible aid in fighting
the forest fires in the Adirondacks
He sent this statement:
THE government has tested the
power of explosives both at the sur
face and in the air and has found it
useless. If experiments are made
they will be misleading, for rain is
falling in a number of states to the
south and west of New York and
there is a strong probability that this
rain will spread over New York and
New England today
Forester Pettis notified the state
commission from Saranac that the
flames were spreading and he feared
they would reach the preserve of w
Rockefeller. He also reported fires at
Floodwood and Derrick, and said the
fire at st. Regis mountain was serious.

KILLED HIS RIVAL.
Former Suitor Interrupts Bridal Tour
by Staying Young Husband.

New Orleans. Oct 24.-On her bridal
tour which had begun scarcely one
hour before, and seated in a railroad
coach almost between her husband and
a former sutton for her hand, Mrs.
Fred Vaningen, last night, saw the
flash of the suitor's revolver felt the
sudden grip of her husbands hand as
the bullet struck and killed him, and
then turned and fought for her life.
When the girl appeared about to be a
victim of a second bullet from the re-
volver her uncle rushed up and thrust
his thumb beneath the hammer of the
revolver jamming the mechanism and
rendering the weapon harmless.
This was the story which the pas
SengerS of the Texas & Pacific Can
non BALI told when they reached this
city, but the principal actors in the
tragedy most of whom are connected
with Louisiana's leading families, have
so far refused to discuss the affair. The
former sutton is F. S. Beauve of Pla-
quemine. La, where he was taken from
the train and placed under arrest. The
husband was Prof Fred Vaningen, a
prominent teacher of Alexandria, La,
and a relative of former Gov Blanch-
ard. The bride is the daughter of
James NJ. Rhorer, one of the leading
OFFICIALS of Ibervilie Parish, residing at
Baton Rouge. Beauve is "a years old
and Vaningen was %.
The wedding took place Thursday at
Alexandria. Beauve was in town hav-
ing arrived there, it is reported on the
same day as Miss Rhorer. When the
bridal couple left for New Orleans, he
boarded the train also and after a time
sat in a seat facing Mr. and Mrs. Van
ingen, with the bride between him and
her husband. Passengers say Beauve
| talked with the bridal couple just be-
fore the shooting and that his manner
| appeared cordial The young woman
| had clasped hands with her husband
when Beauve suddenly drew his re-
volver and fired. After being disarm-
ed, the young man quietly submitted tc
