OCEANIC BOATS
SOON To MOVE
Being Prepared for Sea, but for
What Purpose Is Not
Known.

General promotion work, including
the possibilities of a combination will
Australia for tourist work and the diff
ficulties attending the securing of al
American steamship of proper facilities
for excursions FROM the Coast, was dis
cussed at the regular meeting of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee yesterday
afternoon, at which were present in ad
ditiOn to the members, Percy Hunter
of the New South Wales Intelligence
Bureau, A. Fl. Ford and Lloyd Childs.
In the course of the discussion on the
steamship situation, G. F. Bush stated
that he had knowledge of the fact that
the Oceanic Steamship Company was re
fitting all its steamers-the Sonoma
Sierra and Ventura-for. sea. With
what object in view he did not know,
possibly it was that they might be put
on the Panama run.
Mr.. Childs shed a CLEAN of hope by
stating that he had been informed by
Secretary Virgins, of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, that there was
definite assurance that within a year
steamship line would be established
between Honolulu and San Pedro. Mr..
Virgins was not at liberty to give any
details of the matter, but had knowl-
edge that satisfied him that this cherish
ed project of direct steamship eonnec-
tion between the Islands and Southern
California was coming.
Mr.. Hunter spoke briefly on the work
that Australia was doing in inviting
tourists and settlers into that country
and discussed the feasibility of induc-
ing Australian travellers to visit Ha-
waii on their way to or from Europe.
At the present time there are twenty
seven thousand Australasians in Great
Britain, an average number, but this
great travel goes almost invariably by
way of the Suez. The thirty-day SER
vice on the Canadian Australia line was
too infrequent for the travellers, while
if they did come on the Canadian-Aus-
tralian steamers there would be little
opportunity of any of them staying off
here.
If there was a line of steamers run
ming between San Francisco and Ho-
1olulu, whereby travellers could break
heir trip by staying here a week or
Ten days, he believed that many Aus
.ralians would welcome the idea, but
| month was too long for people re-
urning home especially.
Lloyd Childs, as an instance of what
he Promotion Committee was attempt
ng to do in the way of getting tourists
lere through excursions, gave the his
ory of his dealings with the Oceanic
company for the chartering of a steam
r, in which negotiations the company
aised the charter price on him $4,000 |

MORGAN WORKED FOR
BETTER TRANSPORTATION

Before the Transmississippi Congress,
James f. Morgan, who represented Ha-
wall, waived the claim of Honolulu as
candidate for the place of meeting
of the congress in 1910, but waived the
claim in order to drive home to the
assembled delegates from the CONNER
cial bodies of the Western States the
fact that Hawaii was suffering for
steamship facilities. In a letter to H.
P. Wood regarding his plans, written
prior to the session of the congress, Mr..
Morgan wrote on the shipping situa-
ton:
t'I have prepared resolution rela-
tive to the American commerce, and
thought that I would be able to pre-
sent this as surprise. but in yester-
days discussion of matters before the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce,
I found that every delegate there was
alive to the Importance of Congress
assisting American shipping, and [
think that there will be several reso-
lutions on this head; but my talk in
the early part of the meeting will give
me an opportunity to be heard first.
81 intend to put in the most of nay
work in an endeavor to get assistance
that will make assured the passage by
Congress next year of either subsidy
bill or an increased pay for mail con-
tracts for American vessels.

WILL 60 DIRECT
To MAGDALE
Fleet viii Not Visit San Diego,
but Will Steam Direct
to Southern Bay.

The latest orders received yesterday
morning indicate that the fleet will not
go to San Diego but will sail directly
for Magdalena Bay in Lower California
where it viii stay for about month
and go through course of target prac-
tise.
From Magdalena Bay they will steam
southwards down the coast and will
make stops at some of the smaller ports
which are not yet designated, one of
which may be Panama, until they reach
Callao, the chief port of Peru. Thence
they win go further south and make a
stay at Talcahuano, naval station of
Chile, lying well to the south of Val
paraiso in the neighborhood of lat. 81
S. and long. IS w.
Talcahuano lies at the outer point of
long spit of land that curves out
from the land until it points due north
and eneloses large bay. A compare
lively long stay will be made there and
thence the feet will go north again to
Magdalena Bay without stop and then
there will be another month of target
practise.
From Magdalena Bay they will go
north directly to San Francisco with
possible stop off San Pedro and are
scheduled to arrive in San Francisco
harbor about April Is.
Magdalena Not Popular.
There is some disappointment
amongst the officers and crew of the
cruisers over the passing up of San
Diego. Had it not been for the delay
off Samoa while they were waiting for
coal tile feet would have stayed for
few -daysscf San Diego and the married
men had notified their wives to that
effect and hoped to see them in the city
on the border of Manana land.
The seagoing benedicts will be disap
pointed, however, as Magdalena is very
much out of the world and there is no
means of transportation there save by
water and that only by chartered YES
sci. Magdalena Bay is the original
jumping off place so far as civilization
is concerned and, save for the wireless
with Point Iona, the
ships will be as much out of the world
as though they were in the middle of
the Pacific Ocean.
The dreary coast of Lower California
seems to have become weary of itself
1t this point and the bare, volcanic
hills and surf bitten shore bend in
wards as though retreating from the
attacks of the lean, tireless
breakers Tt is sad change from the |
prospect of a few days in San Diego |
% direct voyage to the glaring,
lideous shores of no man s land.

LIME AS A FUEL.

Several weeks ago 81. Louis
daily contained an article setting
forth the possibilities of crude lime
stone as fuel. William Baumstark
decided to give the experiment
test, and to his complete surprise
found that 1t worked to perfection.
He took quantity of lime stone
fresh from the quarry and burned 1t
In his cook stove. 1t made as hot
or hotter fire than coal, proving to
his satisfaction that 1t is n fuel
saver. There Is no disagreeable
smoke from the chimney to smut
the roof, AS is the. case with coal,
and the gases arising from the burn
ing of lime as fuel need not be al
lowed to escape, but can be piped
into the building and used as an IL
luminant. Should lime become pop
ular as fuel it will mean much for
the lime industries of Ste. Gene

THE INITIATIVE AND REFER
ENDUM.

Among the constitutional amend
ments to be voted on at the general
election is one known as the in
itiative and referendum. We can't
see why any one, Democrat, Re
publican, Prohibitionist, Peoples
party or Socialist, should not favor
the principle of the initiative and
referendum; but we do see why
some of the big corporations and
trusts which object to being regu.
lated should oppose it-they want
the people to have as little as pos
sible to do in the shaping of our
laws, and the idea OF the power
being placed in the hands of the
people to veto any legislation that
gives to these corporations an adj.
vantage that will enable them to
extort from the people, is obnoX.
ious to the corporation.
The initiative and referendum is
in perfect accord with our republi.
can institutions, with government
of the people, for the people and
by the people. 1t is simple and
easy to understand. 1t in no par
ticular interferes with a represent
alive form of government. Repre-
sentatives elected by the people
sometimes make mistakes, however
honest they may be; sometime;
they do not grasp and understand
the real sentiment of majority Of
the people; Ssand as they are but
human, sometimes they yield tC
bad influences for the sake of per.
sonal gain, promises of position
and the favor of powerful CONNER
cial systems that seek special priv.
ileges OF Legislative bodies.
In q nut shell the initiative and
referendum means just this: If
the Legislature passes an act which
the people believe is vicious or
against their interests, on the Pc
tition of a, given per cent OF the
voters of the State the matter
must be referred to them to be
voted on at the next general elec.
ton before it becomes operative as
a law, and if a majority Of the

INDIANA GLOOMY FOR G. 0. p.

From all sections of Indiana come
good reports. The Louisville Couri-
er-Journal prints u dispatch from
Shelbyville, Ind, ms follows: "JOhn
j. Wingate, the veteran editor Of
the Shelbyvillc Daily News, one Of
the best known and most influential
newspaper men in the State, is firm
in his belief that Taft will not carry
Indiana and that Tom Marshall will
be elected governor. He has voted
for every Republican nominee for
President from Lincoln down to
Roosevelt. Republican prospects
for success In Indiana look gloomy, ,
remarked Mr.. Wingate to-day. TO
my mind, the political battle in In
diana has yet to be won, with the
chances most favorable to the Dem
ocracy. They have no entanglng
alliances. Harmony exists in every
congressional district. Bryan and
Kern are immensely popular with
Indiana Democrats. They will poll
more votes than any other Demo-
cratic ticket that could have been
nominated. But how Is it with the
Republicans? The steam roller at
| Chicago seems to have taken all the
enthusiasm out of the State Organi-
cation. The Indiana Republicans
received "A slap in the face at Chi
cago which crushed their pride and
cut their feathers in an alarming
manner. They are certainly without
hope, at least for this campaign
They have been given notice that
they are not wanted, and have been
