ARE OUT
FOR CANNON'S SCALP

SAN FRANCISCO, August lin
common with their brethren all over
the country, the members of the local
Methodist church are inaugurating a
campaign against the reelection of
Speaker Cannon because of his hostility
to a measure now before the house
which designs to permit interstate ship
ments of liquor to be subject to the
laws of the state through which they
pass. Cannon has effectively shelved
legislation on this subject, and told a
committee headed by Bishop Warren,
the senior bishop of the Methodist
church. that they could all 60 to the

known as contractor for many years,
in these Islands, died yesterday even

on Kamehameha " road. He was a

to the United States when a youth of
seventeen. He came to Hawan fifteen

ing of the spoil from the dredging of
the harbor.
The charge will be based on the fact
that IN the dredging that is being done
now the spoil is being placed by the
contractor at point different from
that which the United States Engineer
Officer Captain Otwen has designated
for 1t to be placed. The difference in
place is due to the dispute as to the
specifications, and results. it is claimed,

THREE PRECINCTS
ON OAHU ARE NEW
The Old First and Second Is
Divided Into Three
i'm k0OIau.

Governor Frear has issued his procla-
nation calling for an election for Dele
gate to Congress and for members of
the Senate and House of Representa-,
tives of the Legislature of the Terri
tory.
The proclamation is shorter than
similar proclamations have been in the
past, and sets forth very succinctly the
matters required to be set forth in such
proclamations.
ChangesNin precincts have been made
on Maui and on Oahu. On Maui two
new precincts have been formed. The
Lahaina precinct has been divided into
two precincts the dividing line being
the northern boundary of Olowalu and
the polling place is at Olowalu school
house. The other new precinct is in
Central Maui where the precincts in
Guiding and touching the Kula region
as to get in another precinct. This will
shorten the distance many voters will
have to go to their voting place by
several miles.
On Oahu three new precincts have
been added, one in the Fourth District,
and two in the Fifth, and in addition
a change. of boundary between two pre-
cincts in the Fifth has been made.
The new precinct in the Fourth IS
made by dividing the old first and sec
ond precincts into three, and number
ing them consecutively, first second and
third, the remainder of the precincts in
the district being advanced one num-
Der, that is the old third is now the
fourth, the old fourth the fifth, and
so ON.
The new frst precinct is the extreme
the Koolan mountains and has for its
westerly and southwesterly boundaries
a line down the ridge on the east side
of Manoa valley to Manoa stream,
along the stream to the road little
below its junction with the Palolo
stream, thence easterly along that read,
Campbell avenue, Castle road, Diamond
Head avenue and a line in extension
of Diamond Head avenue to the sea.
In other words it extends to the Manoa
stream and to Kapiolani Park and to
the road along the northerly side of
Diamond Head.
The second precinct includes the Dia-
mond Head region, the Kapiolani Park
region, Waikiki, and everything south
of King street and the Waialae road
as far west as line from the corner
of King and Punahou to the long bridge,
on Ala Moana.
The third precinct includes every
thing north of King street and Wal
alae road, east of Punahou street to the
Manoa stream. 1t includes the McCully
tract region, the baseball park region,
the Punahou region and Manoa valley.
In the Fifth District ON the Koolau
side of the island there are two pre-
cincts instead of one in Koolauloa, and
two instead of one in Koolaupoko. This
shortens up the distance voters have to
go very considerably. The polling place
of the first precinct is the courthouse
at Kaneohe, and of the second IS at
Waiahole sehoolhouse.
The third precinct begins at the line
between Koolaupoko and Koolauloa and
extends to the southeast boundary OF
Laie, with the polling place at the Yin
Sit clubhouse, at Kapano, Punaluu.
The fourth precinct is the remainder
of the district of Koolauloa, and in
cludes Laie, Kahuku and the Pupukea

Republican voters in the twelfth pre-

Everyone had looked ct one another
understandngly and smiled when the
eminent scientist and inventor had
been led into the room. Guy, craning
his neck ina sudden desire to see this
entry, had a confused picture of
man with a shock Of white hair and
long eyebrows, from beneath which
glared eyes Of great restlessness, and
also remembered that the dress suit
which had caused so much worry was
stained with freshly spilled chemicals,
and that even as he came the inventor
was furtiyeiy wiping pair of grimy
hands on his handkerchief. But it was
not the man nor the suppressed tit
ters OF laughter that he recollected
best; It was the girl who escorted
him.
She came leading her father by the
arm, the daintiness of her costume
enhanced by the marks Of the work

demanding that he should know heE
better. 1t had been easy to yield tc
its call, and he made occasion to be
as near her side throughout the even
