HONOLULU IRON WORKS
MAKES LAND EXCHANGE

Arrangements were perfected this
morning by Superintendent OF Pub
lie Works Marston Campbell Tor an
exchange Of lands between the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works and the Territory.
Some wonderment was expressed yes
terday when it became known that
the Iron Works Company had pur-
chased a quantity of land here from
the Cunha estate and from outside
parties.
The details of the exchange show
that the buy was for the purpose OF
getting land for which the Govern.
ment would trade. All the Terrific.
rial holdings in this district are now
concentrated on Maunakea street,
while lots A and b go to the Iron
Works. The trade. although nego-
tiated by the Honolulu Iron Works,
really favors the Government to a
great extent on account OF the fact
that the latter gets 1902 square
feet of land in exchange for 5,2E7
square feet, The deficiency to the
Iron Works is made up by reason of
the fact that they have several old
buildings on the property they ac-
quire permanently by the trade, and
which they held before under lease,

following to say:
HAWAIIAN CASTS A VOTE


Although Reputed Of Chinese Par
entage Peter Farr Zane De-
poslts Ballot
Peter Farr Zane, native of Ha-
wall, Of reputed Chinese parentage,
cast his first vote as an American cit
lien today in the Attn precinct of the
9th ward at the polling place at 10
seth street. The strain of MOngo-
liam blood was held by some of the
judges Of election ut the precinct to
bar Zane from the ballot box. The
question was referred 10 the election
commissioners and their counsel, At
torney Frank d.. Ayers, decided that
under the Federal statutes Zane, be-
ing native of the Republic of IIa-
wall in 1898, became u citizen of the
United States when Hawaii became
a Territory, and as such was entitled
to vote.
The young man was born in Ma
kapaIa, %orth Kohala, Hawaii, Mar.
20, 1856. Ills father was II mission
airy from Canton, China. He was ed
ucated in the English schools in the
islands and two years ago came to
America. He attends the Wendell
Phillips High School. preparatory to
entering the University of Chicago.
So far as the election commission
.ers have learned, Zane is the only
Hawaiian Of Chinese descent who yo-
ted in the Chicago election today.

ly as possible For the big guns as
many shots may be fired as possible
within a certain number of minutes.
The shots are counted carefully for
the small guns, and when the given
quota is fired the order is given:
Cease firing!
when the time limit has expired for
the big guns a whistle is blown by
the umpire who has the watch and
the same command is given, but the
crew has the right to fire one more
shot within a given number of seconds
so as to discharge any projectile that
may, have been in the gun when the
cease-firing command was given.
THE CREATION OF GEYSERs.
AS soon as the command to fire is
given intense activity starts. Crack
goes the three-pounder or three-inch,
Then comes the splash A geyser
jumps up out of the bay. Then an
other and another, as the projectile
hits the water. These geysers look
as if Old Faithful of the Yellowstone
had been brought down to give a spe-
cial performance. The spurts are not
in straight line, for the curvature of
a small wave defects the course of the
projectile and sends it careening this
way or that. You can tell from the
position of the squirt whether it was
hit or not and you can count the hits
and misses carefully. You forget the
ear-smiting cracks of the guns and the
jolt of the decks. Did he make a hit?
is what you want to know, and is the
pointer doing his work well. Cheers
come from various parts of the ship
as hit after hit are made, and if it's
clean string there is general jubila-
ton.
But the ship is moving steadily along
the course. There is always a slight
gap in the shooting when the pointers
change positions and telescopes, but
bang, bang, crack, crack come the re-
ports, and before you know it the
whistle blows and the red flag is low
cred and that string is over. Then
the ship slowly circles around to the
targets, and the repairing crew in the
small boats dash over to mark the hits

exhaustive target practice-one for
what is called record practice and once
for battle practice.
Record practice Is at target at
exactly known distance. Every gun
on every ship is fired individually at
that target Battle practice is at a
target that Stimulates in size and dis
lance the ship of an enemy. All the
guns of the ship that reach that range
are fired apparently helter-skelter for
a given number of minutes. The range
in that case has to be found out.
Record practice is held to qualify
gun pointers, or, as the English cali
it, gun layers. It's purpose is to find
out the best shooters on the ship and
to give them practice Battle practice
is to give these gun pointers an OPP
portunity IF displaying their skill in

gun. It's a mere pop to them. Some
times they overreach themselves in the
desire to be quick and they make a
miss. They don't hear the last of that
for some time, but it's all in the work
and part of the general eagerness to
DO we'll
THE BIGGER GUNS.
Then come the eight-inch guns. The
rumble and roar is only a little worss
than the seven-inch guns. The geysers
shoot a little higher and the echoes
from the report come back to the
ship like so many sharp thunderclaps,
where the lightning is close. Indeed,
If you want to have a better repro
duction of thunder than any theater
can produce just manage to be on d
battleship while it fires off its eight
inch guns in rapid succession. It's
the kind of thunder that comes when
lightning hits and you look out to see
if the tree in your front yard mas been
spit Crash after crash comes back
to make you duck and dodge until the
projectile has finished it's thunderboft
career and darts into the water with
perhaps the ignominious mission of
killing a fish instead of SCATTERING a
battle-ship's side.
But the twelve-inch guns! Pack the
cotton well into your ears! Keep your
mouth open! Stand as far away from
the muzzle as you can on the ship!
Secure all the things in your state
room, for, if you don't you may find
your shaving mug on the floor and
your hairbrush mixed up with the
lather."

great day approaches everyone is as
much under a severe strain as a trained
university football team approaching
the great game of the season. Team
work has been the aim of the drills.
70 pretend to be cool and utterly I'M
concerned is the little game of by-play
that is going on.
EVERYONE ON EDGE.
LAS the day comes on you don't hear
much levity about the ship. The time
of the crouch is at hand. Why, even
the officers can hardly be civil to one
another, and as for the men, they get
saying things to one another in their
disputes and heat and anxiety that
would make a stranger think they
were dangerously near an uprising.
The ordnance officer loses all his
friends and the division officers glare
at him and one another as if each felt
sorry that the earth in general and
the ship in particular was encountered
with such piIiful specimens of human
ity.
Now and then they get to telling
one another what they think of things
not meaning a word of it, and some
times a dispute goes clear up to the
Captain for him to decide He does
decide it gravely, and perhaps when
the disputants leave he turns away and
smiles as he recalls that men are but
children of larger growth, and after
ali he's glad to see these things come
up because it shows how hard and
earnestly everyone is working and
bending all his energies to be first
Be first! Be first! That's the thought
of everyone, and all these chickering's
sharp-tongued retorts, objections, sug-
gestions, sullen looks-yes, even drawn
faces-mean tnat every ounce of
energy, of intensity that the men on
the ship have is being expended in the
task at hand.
When you see all this you can I'M
derstand why the men of a seven-inch
guns crew, for example, who think
they have what they call a look-in for
the Navy prize, elect to sleep beside
their pet gun all night, just as a stable
boy sleeps in the stall of his great

small projectiles and bags of powder,
and if you had been drilling SO as not
to make false step or move and had
been getting up teamwork so as to do
your work in the shortest possible
time, where fractions of seconds count;
Der of one where probably one-half of
the men had never heard a big gun go
off before and there was danger that
you would go gun-shy; if for weeks
actly this and that and never to do that
and this, and lot of other tremend-
ously important things had been dinned
into your ears, especially matters re-
lating to safety, and you realized that
some blunder of yours might endanger
not only yourself and your mPtes, but
the ship itself; if you recalled that the
Navy gives a prize to the best crew on
the fleet for each kind of guns fired
and there is also a ships prize for the
best work of these guns, and that II
you did your work well and won out
there would be from 500 to $50, or pos
sibly more, for yourself and eacn OF
your mates; if you knew how one gums
crew bets it will beat it's rival; If you
knew how every man on every ship is
intensely eager to set the Naval trophy
in shooting for his own ship, so that
all hands can put on proper airs and
say in a deprecating way: OF course
we were glad to get the trophy, but II
was nothing, mere nothing; why we
could beat it all to pieces in fight, but
of course, we don't want to brag; If
you could see these men working over
time of their own volition in the Morris
tube training, the miniature target
shooting that is practised daily on the
ships, you'd begin to realize how a
ship gets all wrought up over this
target practice.
The captain naturally wants his shir
to come out first, when you get down
to the real business of a warship; the
division officers want the ship to win
and their own divisions to be first; the
gun crews, with money at stake for
them and with the great pride that
Uncle Sans sailormen have, down to
the last man, to excel in any contest
are more eager, if that were possible
than the officers to get the shooting
record. The result is that when the

you ask? Shooting is what a navy is
for. OF course; and in the old days
real shooting was done only in time
of war A Senate committee recently
has been listening to accounts of what
that kind of shooting amounted TO at
the battle of Santiago, and some have
said they did and others have said
they didn't and it has been back and
forth did and didn't-but let that go.
The fact of Importance is that the
Navy no longer waits for war to learn
how to shoot. Twice year it has
