and the scientists tell US, the waters
covered all the surface of our planet
and the land rose up out of the waters.
And, If the waters have their way, ap-

time, again cover our globe. For the

are incessant the world over, and in
the aggregate enormously successful.

PINKHAM AND HIS ENEMIES
IHilo Tribunel

The hearty endorsation of the
Wharf Committee, OF the Chamber
of Commerce and OF Hilo people gen.
orally may well be given for the re-
appointment of President Pinkham
to the position which he now holds
as head of the Board of Health. Hon
est, efficient, tireless, and aggressive,
as he is, he has fully earned the
contumely which has been heaped
upon him by those who hate honesty,
efficiency and other virtues. The
hatred of the gang opposing Presl-
dent Pinkham is entirely, a credit to
him. Cut down as 1t was in funds,
by Legislature controlled by preju-
dice and ignorance, his department
continued to be about the best In
the Territory, certainly none could
claim to be better administered. His
term will expire very soon and the
sweet-scented crowd opposing him
will use, as formerly, every effort to
force Governor Frear to refuse re-
appointment.

police as procurers. The women
were Adella Reyes, Carmella Roman
and Louisa. The men were Sailor"
Morch, Fred. Marrener and All Tong.
The case of Carmella and Marre-
ner was first called, and Attorney
S. +. Chillingworth, who appeared as
their counsel, asked that II be con-
tinued, as the defendants had told
him that they wanted to marry.
II shall grant no continuance on
these grounds" said Judge Andrade.
Marriages of this kind amount to
nothing" .
THE law provides for them" said
Chillingworth. J.. ,

but the marriages should be bona

man and this woman amount to? 1t

all. There are two people who have
been living together for months. The
man has been arrested for acting as
the woman's procurer. They want
to get married simply to evade pros
! ecution. ! shall not grant u contin-
uance, unless there are other grounds
Chillingworth stated that he was
not acquainted with the facts OF the
case, and on these grounds the con-
tinuance was granted, although Pros
ecutor Brown protested strenuously
THE prosecution protests against
n continuance" he said. 1T simply
means that the defendants will get
married in order to defeat the law.
This is making a farce of the mar
riage ceremony"

THE Legislature never contempla-

DELEGATES
Continued from Pace "

(C0ntlnued from f9~e
meet this afternoon at the Repub-
lican headquarters to decide on the
delegate from their Island and the
Kauai and the Maui men will meet
tomorrow, the latter waiting for Sen
ator Kalama, who is expected to ar
rive from Maui tomorrow. ,,
1t may be regarded as definitely
settled that National Committeeman
A. G. NJ. Robertson and Delegate Ka-
lanianaole will be two of the dele
gates. 1t is generally conceded that
of the remaining four Oahu, Hawaii,
Maui and Kauai should have one
each. Maui's man has heretofore
been Tax Assessor Robinson: at
least, so 1t was thought, but the ar
rival of II. p. Baldwin from Maui
this morning has made many think
that he is in the running, the Maui
delegation, in fact, being inclined to
favor sending him, with Robinson as
alternate. Knudsen is spoken of
most generally as Kauai's delegate,
but there is feeling that Charles
Rice may be for some reason more
deserving of the honor. Hawaii Is
the most certain of the entire bunch.
Sam Parker is out for the position,
but there was some opposition evil
dent on the part of the Big Island
delegation this forenoon, the claim
being advanced that he was not pro-
perly a Hawaii man. Speaker Hols-
tein, when seen, stated that he had
this view in regard to Parker, but,
on the other hand, w. w. Harris,
who had been regarded as Hawaii s
delegate, had declined to go. and he
knew of no other parties who want
ed to go. 1t was quite probable, he
said, that Hawaii might send a Ho-
nolulu man.
Among the Oahu candidates the
names of Geo. r. Carter, A. l.. G. At
klnson, J, NJ. Dowsett and John G.
Lane have been prominently men
toned, but the fight will probably
narrow itself down to Dowsett and
Lane, the latter of whom definitely
/ announced his candidacy only today.
Dowsett is at present on his way to
the mainland, and before his depart
ure he stated that he would like to
be one of the delegation, as he would
be on the mainland anyhow. On the
