MONEY FOR
SCHOOLS
SUPERINTENDENT BABBITT WILL
MAKE BIG DEMAND FOR APPRo-
PRIATIONs FROM LEGISLATURE.

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt will ask for many appropria-
tions from the coming legislature,
among which will be an increased
amount for the salary of the local
teachers. Two years ago the sum of
S723,000 was asked for this purpose,
but only $7O6,OOO was appropriated.
This year the sum asked will be be-
tween $735, 900 and $75O,O0O, though
until the scheGufvs are made up, the
definite figures cannot be ascertained.
Babbitt will also ask for an appro-
priation of $4,000 or $4,000 for a
new school building at Hanapepe,
Kauai In this city an appropriation
will be asked for an addition to the
Normal school building and also for a
new site and building for the Kaulu-
wela institution on School street. Both
the building and the grounds are over
crowded at this place. More room is
badly needed.

STOP FOR
LANAI CASE
ATTORNEY GENERAL HEMENWAY
WILL STAY IN WASHINGTON
SOME TINE YET.

Attorney General Hemenway will not
return to this city from Washington
till after the first of the year, accord
ing to the latest plans which have
been decided on. Governor Frear de-
cided this morning to cable him that
it would be best to remain in the Ma
tional Capital till the Lanai case comes
up which will be about the twenty
second or third of December.
This was done for two reasons. Gov
ernor Frear believes that the presence
of Mr.. Hemenway in Washington while
he is there himself, will be great ad-
vantage in number of matters which
are to be taken up and also it will
obviate the necessity of his making an
other trip. If the Lanai case should
not be heard in December it would
mean that it would have to go over
till March At that time the local
Legislature will be in secession and the
presence of Attorney General Hemen-
way will be needed badly in this city,

The two squadrous of cavalry which
are coming to this city should ar
rive within three or four months and
will probably be quartered at the mi
litary reservation at Leilehua, Wahi-
ava. This statement was made this
morning by local army officer who is
in close touch with the way things
will be handled here. In speaking of
the matter he said:
Orders have already come to the
local quartermaster's Office to look in
to the matter of supplies for the ca
valry. In this line instructions have
been given to provide for forage for
the cavalry horses, firewood oil and
other like necessarles. A specially de-
tailed officer has been appointed to
come down here and look after the
erecting of temporary quarters, which
will take the matter out of the hands
of the local quartermaster 1t is be-
lieved that the cavalry will be camped
at the Wahiawa military reservation
and from the manner In which things
are being hurried along that they will
get here in about three or possibly
four months.
According to the last order on or
ganization issued by the War Depart
ment the following should be the make
up of the force to be stationed on this
island: one regiment of infantry, con-
sisting of twelve .ompanies and band,
S16 enlisted men and so officers; one
regiment of field artillery. consisting
of 6 batteries, and band, S44 enlisted

men and 80 o;cers; two squadrons of
cavalry, consisting of eight troops and
band, 552 enlisted men and 81 officers;
one company of engineers, consisting
Of 164 enlisted men and tEl ee officers;
signal corps detachment, probably at
least so men and three officers; hos
pital corps detachment, probably at
least so men and three officers. Total
officers and men, outside of coast ar
tillery, who have not yet been assign
ed, 2486 enlisted men and 120 officers.
The officers already stationed in this
city say, without exception, that the
military reservation now owned by
the Federal government at Leilehua,
Wahiawa, will undoubtedly be used for
the camp of the entire force. 1t is
apparently the best location that can
be found where there is sufficient room.
For the drill of the cavalry alone a
stretch of about one mile square will
he hardly enough.
It is possible that the post at Fort
Shafter will be used for other purposes
and barracks will be erected at va
rious places for the Coast Artillery
troops who must be close to the bat
teries where they are to be stationed.
For the Diamond Head battery land
has already been bought in the direc-
tion of Kaimud for site for barracks,
while transfers for a barracks site
for the men to handle the big guns to
be located at Waikiki have been male

THE PAPERS THAT COUNT.

The esteemed republican newspapers
are predicting that Mr. Bryan as the
nominee OF the Democratic party tor
President would have less newspaper
support east of the Ohio and north of
Maryland than any presidential San
didate of his party has had in 100 years.
This will be true in New York city
only, where the Hearst papers are sup
porting the Independence league, and
the rest of the are against
Bryan. Outside of New York city
every Democratic paper in the section
named will cordially support Mr.. Bry-
an. All the county Democratic papers
viii support him, and SO will papers
like the Boston Globe, the Buffalo
Times, the Albany Argus, the Paterson
Guardian, the New Haven Union, the
Gettysburg Post, the Portland Argus,
the Rochester Union and Advertiser,
and the Syracuse Telegram, all papers
Of large circulation.
In 1904 Judge Parker had the warm
support of the Now York World, Times,
Evening Post and Brooklyn Eagle. He
lost New York state by a larger p1u-
rality than Bryan did in 1896 or 1900.
The support Of New York city papers
has, 1t appears, but little to do in
bringing voters to the polls.
