TRANSITION PERIOD
CORPORATIONS UP

Before Judge Dole yesterday there
was further argument in the Haleakala
Ranch case. The question being argued
was whether corporations organized in
Hawaii during the so-called ''transi-
tion period, that is between annex
alton and the organization of the Ter
ritory, are inhibited from contributing
to elections. United States District
Attorney Breckons appeared to argue
that they were, while A. Lewis Jr., APP
peared to argue that they We're not.
Arraigned Before Dole.
In Judge Dole's court yesterday
morning the people indicted by the
grand jury were arraigned. One couple
indicted under the Edmunds Act plead
ed guilty and were given sentence
of four months in Jail. Another couple
having been joined in the holy bonds
of matrimony since the Nervousness of
their unhallowed way of living had
been brought to their attention by
arrest were allowed to go in peace by
virtue of a noile pros. The rest for
the most part were given further time
to secure counsel, though in the end
the court will appoint counsel for sew
eraI of them.

United States Reclamation Service, who
came from Washington to investigate
the water supply and government land
situation in Hawaii, appeared before
the Board of Agriculture and Forestry
yesterday afternoon and spoke inform
ally concerning the result of his obser-
vations on the islands of Hawaii, Maui
and Molokai One of the principal
items in his address was the statement
given above concerning cane lands and
their utility to the community. Con-
tinuing his reference to cane lands as
above quoted, he said:
"For instance, take the pineapple
business here. It looks very promis-
ing. When the development of the
business permits, no doubt there will
be strong organization of the grow
ers who must find a market and then
protect it. It looks as though there
would be a very large and growing in
dustry. Commercially it is like every
other industry. 1t should be thorough
ly organized and the market held by
a combination for protection.
Mr.. Newell spoke generally of the
work on the mainland and
his hopes for the same sort of work
in these islands provided an appropria-
ton was secured through Congress. He
said that in the conservation work in
the Hawaiian Islands, he hoped he |
would be able to have the Reclamation !
Act apply in the Territory At present !
t applies to specifically named states
md territories, thirteen of the former |
md three of the latter. The public I
ands of Hawaii approached county ter
-itory and are not exactly in the same I
.ategory with lands of the same nature
IN the mainland. He had hopes that ,
ome provision might be made to apply
he Act here in the near future.

Excellent Opportunity.

"Mr. Garfield was so greatly impress
ed with the opportunities in these is
lands that he wanted me to come here
and get acquainted, in the hope that
the next Congress would discuss island
matters, . said Mr.. Newell. 'FYou have
excellent opportunities here and the
Governor and his advisers have begun
to work out sound scheme of reclama-
ton. =
What we need is greater knowledge
of the conditions, the water supply, its
storage, together with full knowledge
of the forests and the means of pro-
tecting and extending them When we
get all this knowledge I have hopes
that funds will be available to put that
knowledge to practical use.
Conditions here are in striking con.
trast with conditions on the mainland.
You can afford to spend more in reela-
nation on a small area because the
returns from the lands are greater.
see no reason. why, after we study this
matter properly and leases expire on
lands now used by the plantations to
have some reclamation work done so
that they can be opened up. Lands do
not have to be given out at once. Hold
them and utilize them for the protec-
tion of the forests. -

Root of All Evil.

Water, not money, is the root of all
whisky was his epigrammatical sum
ming up of discussion of the necessity
of controlling supplies so that the water
could be used to the best advantages in
retaining lands in general. 81 hope, -
he continued. ''that we can get a Fed
eral appropriation to investigate the
water supply here. In 1900 ] tried to
get something from Congress, but owing
to the necessity of putting my energies
to the reclamation act l had to drop it
for the time being
He. thought the water system of the
American Sugar Company ON Molokai
should have amounted to something
more than it did. He thought it was
taken up with too much of rush and
dropped in like manner If it had been
developed on smaller scale, it might
have been successful Mr.. Newell
thought the Farmers Institute should
lie force in the Islands in connection
with the subject of water development
land reclamation, and homesteading. He
knew that the people here had to com
bat vegetable diseases and insects, and
said that probably no country in the
world is so susceptible to plant diseases
as "A tropical one.

Water Going to Waste.

Mr. Newell said that in Waipio val
ley there was a vast amount of water
and much of it was going to waste.
1t looked feasible to govern much of
this supply. The difficulty would be
to get reservoirs. He said he was OPP
timistic as to what could be done there.
Before coming here Mr.. Newell had
many erroneous impressions of the is
lands and he found since arriving that
he had to go over all the ground again.
There were many reports sent out from
Hawaii about conditions and opportuni-
ties but much data that might be
given in these reports and which an
outsider wants, are omitted. He has
found that there were apparently ex-
cellent opportunities for development
on a small scale of lands that viii stand
high expenditure to put them in shape

GOVERNORS OF STATES GIVE

Washington, May 14.-TwD IDEAS,

of conserving the natural resources
of the United States,
The first is that permanent or
ganization by the states and nation is
necessary and will likely result from
the present conference to accomplish
the emf sought.
The second, suggested by Secretary
Root, Is that there is no Limitation by

may be made between the states, sub

There was no doubling the first
climax of the day. II was the reeep'
tion of the president. He entered the
east room at IL o'clock, as the marine
band rendered presidential honors.
The governors arose, they clappcO

BRYAN PEOPLE
WILL NOT BOLT
JOHNSON MEN HAVE ABSOLUTE
CONTROL OF MINNESOTA
CONVENTION.

st. Paul, May 14.-It has become
doubtful whether or not the follow
Iers of Mr.. Bryan win bolt the demo
cratic state convention today. Two
days ago it was tentatively agreed
among them that such action should
be taken If their contesting delegates
were not seated in the convention.
Yesterday, however, sentiment against
such step largely increased. This is
one of the results Of the conferences
of Bryan leaders held yesterday.
The Johnson men have such an over
Iwhelming majority of the delegates
in the convention that there is no
chance of Bryan people getting any
thing beyond what the Johnson fol
lowing is pleased to give them, and
the Johnson following is disposed to
give them nothing.
The Johnson men viii organize the
convention and name Martin Hughes
of Hibbing as temporary chairman.
1t has been decided to send eight
delegates at large to the national
convention, each to have half vote,
These probably win be:
F. G.. Winston and S. ]. Turnbdad
of Minneapolis, T. d. O'Brien and d.
w. LAWYER of St. Paul, A. c. Weiss
of Duluth. Frank A. Day of FAIR
