Honolulu made hit with the boys
of the Big -Four squadron, just how
big hit is shown by the supreme sat
isfaction expressed and evident among
those of them who arrived on the trans
port Thomas yesterday to serve at the
station here and aboard the naval tug
Troquois These boys are from the Big
Four, among the crews of which there
was a scramble for the Honolulu de-
tail. On the West Virginia alone two
hundred men had their names put on
the list of the ones anxious to come
to the Paradise of the Pacific, although
it was known that only four or five
from the flagship could come and then
only those whose records showed that
they were entitled to some reward.
These boys left the big cruisers eight
days ago, going directly from their
ships to the transport. They bring
down with them the latest forecastle
gossip about the movements of the big
feet now at target practise in Mag
dalena bay, according to which the feet

THE fleet viii get to San Francisco

boys will get all that is coming to
them in the way of shore leave. That
will take over month. Then the ships
go to the yards for overhauling and

they get here anyway.

SARGENT HAS SOME
LABOR SUGGESTIONS

Secretary H. P. Wood of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee is in receipt of
the following:
Department of Commerce and Labor.
Bureau OF immigration and Natural
ization.
Washington, February II, 1908.
My Dear Mr.. Wood: Referring to
our conversations in regard to the in
terests OF the Territory of Hawaii, in
which I am very deeply interested in
deed, l desire to express it as my
opinion that at the present time the
interest of that Territory may be best
served by making known the natural
advantages of the islands to those now
living in the continental territory of
the United States, who may be desir-
Gus of making a change with a view
to lettering their condition. Last year
the Territorial board, with high
measure of success, spent several thou
sand dollars in providing transporta-
ton from Spain and the Azores, and
several shiploads of desirable immi-
grants were thus secured, Now, it is
my belief that if something of the
same kind could be done with refer
ence to the mainland of the United
states the board would be able to get
an excellent Mass of people, of the
nationaIities most desired, who would
be willing TO cast their lot with the
new Territory, and become part of its
permanent population, and people, at
the same time, who had been suffi-
cient length of time in the United
States to have become somewhat inn
bued with American ideas, SO that on
going to Hawaii they would become
very progressive citizens.
This is a season of business depres-
sion, and there is a great deal OF labor
unemployed and 1t is my conviction
that if you take means to reach this
class of our population, you would
have no difficulty in getting large
number of Woodworking, industrious
people of desirable Municipalities. There
would be no difficulty whatever, so far
as the immigration laws are concern
ed, fnasmuch as the people concerned
would only be travelling from one part
OF the United States to another, and
you should be 49, to make reasona bic
rates with the railroad and steamship
people for transportation.
There is no question in my mind but
that the experiment would be success
full, and that few thousand dollars
spent in transportation and in stimu-
lating immigration to the Islands from
the continental territory, especially at
the present time, would he an excel
lent investment, and would bring re-
suits of lasting benefit to the future of
the Islands.
/ make this as a suggestion for your
and believe that the eff
fort is worth a TT al. And 1 assure
you. that in so far as it lies in the
power of the immigration Service, we
shall be glad to afford you any in
formation, etc. that may be desired.
Sincerely yours,
F. P. SARGENT.

MARINE:

The transport Thomas, Captain Ly-
nam, arrived in Honolulu at IL clock
yesterday forenoon, 6 DAYS % hours
and II minutes from San Francisco.
after one of the pleasantest voyages
ever made over that course. The Tho
mas in coming from San Francisco
sailed 2092 miles, the shortest posi-
BILE distance between the two places
being 2060 miles, showing that the
course of abe vessel was always laid
true and that she was kept well to it.
The Thomas will take on 1900 tons
of coal here and 500 tons of water.
She sails by way of Guam to Toilo,
where the Fourth Infantry will be
landed and where the Eighth Infan-
try wiz be taken ON, and then she will
proceed to Manila.
The Thomas brought marines for the
marine detachment here at the Naval
station, and IS recruits for Fort Shat
ter. She also brought some chief pet
ty officers and seamen, nine in all, for
the Iroquois. These latter were most
ly from the Big Four and had volun-
teered for service here. These men for
the Iroquois were very quickly gotten
over to that vessel, which was lying
in the same slip with the Thomas, after
the arrival OF the Thomas. The re-
cruits for the Twentieth at Fort Shat
ter were almost as quickly mustered
and marched to King street where they
were put on street car and taken
out to Fort Shafter. They attracted
considerable attention because they
were in blue uniforms instead of the
khaki which is so familiar here. The
marines were sent up to the marine
encampment beyond the Immigrant
station.
The best known passengers on the
Thomas We're Major General A. w.
Greedy, his wife and daughter, and
Mrs. Inez Shorb White.
The Thomas has the Fourth Infantry
and a large number of recruits for
the Sixth and Ninth Cavalry, a large
number of Signal Corps men, and de-
tached men from other branches of
the service. The people aboard the
Thomas exclusive of her own crew are
classified as follows:
Forty officers belonging to distinct
commands, on board; 10 officers not
belonging to distinct commands on
board; 4 civilian employees, War De
partment; 1 civilian employee, Navy
Department; civilians, cabin, Navy

DEMON VOICED TOO ROUGHLY.

Silva, the Punchbowl Demon, is in
the cells at the police station, the re-
suit OF too ardent love-making. For
some time he has been paying court to
one of the fair Portuguese girls who
arrived in Hawaii recently from Fun
chal, but hisssuit was spurned and his
tenderest affections sighted. For
quite a while he submitted to the re-
bluffs and turndowns, but yesterday he
so far forgot himself sas to try to
impress hfs' great regard upon the
young lady by Shaping her on the
cheek. Assauftafs the charge preferred
against him.

a canvass has developed a hostile ma

has majority in favor Of the bill but
not for making it a part of postoff1ce

over aga of the hostility of Repub-
licans of the Middle West to any leg

Pacific Coast ports. A large portion

The Senate is disposed to put the bill
as a rider upon the Postoffice Appro-
priation bill. which will likely happen.
In that event the House may have
hard time shaking it off. On the other
hand there will be urgent pleas to
defer action till next session, when the

corporal was of the slugger type, but
did not manage to get close enough

'. 7. WIS REORdAN|zE

At II meeting OF the Young Tidal
Waves of the Kapiolani Baseball
League, held last evening, 1t was de-
cidcd to reorganize, for several rea-
sons, all of which made II seemingly
impossible for the Waves to win out
or to stand any show in the present
schedule. Causes set forth are the
inability of Manager Freitas. through
ill-health, to manage the affairs of
the club. ana the lack of competent
players from whom to secure a nine
to play the remainder of the season
in the Kapiolani Baseball League.
with this in mind, G. NJ. Addison
was elected manager, no one lifting
a dissenting voice except Freitas him
self. Through an agreement signed
by the other members, Addison was
given full control OF the club, and,
by anncying few ball-tossers from
the available suorces, he expects to
put n team on the field next Sunday
afternoon that will be able 70 play
ball, and that will give crcditablc
account Of itself.
Practice was set for Thursday af-
ternoon, at which time the manager
requests every man to be on hand.

10 Decide Fate
OF Hawaii
This Afternoon

What IL now to oe done with the
yacht Hawaii? That Is the question
which Is to be decided when the COM
mittee In charge of the boat meets.
At the same time. the challenge of
the yacht Kamehameha is to be con-
siderC1.
The outcome of the project to have
trans-Pacific race. which has fallen
through for this season at least, has
left the committee in the lurch, TO
some extent. w. II. Mclnerny Is out
of the committee, through resigna-
ton. The Others will have to devise
some way of keeping the boat busy.
They have been advised to keep her
moving until the time for the next
race, and will probably do so.
As to the challenge of the ka-
mchameha. 1t has been sneered at,
but the little boat showed up well in
the run out to Lahaina, and the men
who have made the offer to race
mean business. They have every
faith in their little boat, and money
talks. Il Is to be hoped that the com
mittce will decide to accept the chal-
lenGC today.
