A SUCCESSOR TO JUDGE whitley
GAMBLING
MYSTERY

There's plot behind the alleged
bribing of policemen in the matter
Of the running of a Chinese gambling
game at Maunakea and Beretauia
streets, according to the officials of
the police department.
1t is believed at the police station
that the plot is the work of dis
charged Chinese police officer and one
man still identified with the depart
ment, with the help of one of the Chi
nese identified with the game recent
ly successfully raided.
The Chinese alleged to have been the
runner of the game informed the She
riff that he had been assured that in
the event of his arrest he would be
fined only five or six dollars, whereas
he was lned $25, which hurt. He had
helped an officer, he said, to effect the
raid.
Officers have been examined and have
made statements which have been
taken down by a stenographer, and
Chinese identified with the game say
that no police officers promised them
any immunity. 1t any of the officers
now in the department has been ac-
cepting anything in the of bribes the
fact has not been revealed by those
who ran the game and no charge has
been made.
1t is the belief of the detective bu-
reau that an attempt is being made
to curry favor with the coming ad-
ministration for the sake of a possible
responsible job, with the aid of man
who was fired under a cloud.
1t is said the grand jury will take
the matter up Wednesday, though there
have been no charges made.

ALOHA TO WORLD.

A very good idea has been suggested
to the Seattle exposition commission
which may result in the making OF
Aloha a word which will be known ma
tionally. 1t is proposed that the
watchword of the local exposition COM
mission shall be "Aloha Nui Oe,'
which shall be placed in a prominent
position on all literature and given
prominence in every possible manner.
A huge sign which will flash the motto
across Lake Washington at night is
also a suggestion which may be taken
up. The scheme amounts to bidding
the whole world Aloha.

When this appropriation is made
there will be a consultation between
departments, the United States Marine
Hospital Service being interested as
far as the placing of the quarantine
wharf is concerned, and the quarantine
wharf, that huge red structure but
ting out into Naval row, will be razed
and re-established elsewhere, probably
where or near where the channel
wharf is at present situate.
Then the harbor line, makai, will
be given a clean sweep and afford
much greater convenience to merchant
and Naval vessels. A wall will de-
fine the makai limit.
AS far as the completion of the
front range light, the only question
now is the matter of roofing, whether
it shall be timber, metal or concrete
rooted. 1t is believed that this is
practically and officially already set
tied and the concrete structure will be
in operation early in the new year, the
light being soon expected from the
mainland.
The scoup dredge, as previously an
nounced, has already been taken off
the job and the suction dredge is
"sandpapering the bottom" as the ex-
preston goes for cleaning up the slight
knobs and ridges remaining after the
big dredging job.
Diamond Head Notifications are SO
near completion that folks are for
getting about them already. In this
connection it is pertinent to remark
that there is no truth in the rumor
that tunnel through the side of Dia-
mond Head crater is contemplated.
AS for Pearl Harbor Major Winslow
will have charge of the construction ol
all military work there, while the navy
looks to the dredging of the channel
for the reason that this channel anC
the approach to the drydock site is fol
Naval purposes.
These commercial as we'll as Nava
purposes are 10 be accomplished in the
improvement OF waterway, as in this
harbor, the United States Engineers
have control, but where it is purely
a Naval job it is the work of the
Navy.
There is no near prospect of Pear
Harbor being used commercially; none
of the plans of the Navy contemplate
any such arrangement. 1t is recog
nized officially that Honolulu is tt
remain the commercial port and Pear
Harbor is to be the great naval anC
military base of these islands.
Nothing short of the opening of tn,
Panama canal can be expected to over
crowd Honolulu harbor and it is no
expected that the opening of the cana
will inconvenience Honolulu harbol
when all it's contemplated improve
ments have been realized.

Federal engineering activity on Oahu,
now that Sand Island is about to re-
ceive the finishing touches, will suffer
nothing in the way Of a relapse, for
there are greater things on the pro-
gram than any that have gone be-
fore.
Incidentally there are one or two
impressions which have to be corrected
with the change of United States En-
gineers at his headquarters, for the
going out of Captain Otwell and the
coming in of Major Winslow records
a difference in plans or a difference in
the interpretatio onf plans and recon-
mendations.
1t has been said for a long time that
Sand Island was to be possessed Of
certain guns for harbor defense. There
WILL as matter of fact, be no guns
placed on Sand Island, at least not ac-
cording to any plans on the books.
Twelve-inch gun batteries will be
located at Pearl Harbor and at Waf-
kiki, but there will be no armament
on little Sand Island at the entrance to
this harbor.
Sand Island, as things stand at pres
ent with the government, is an incl
dent. The main proposition was the
dredging and widening of this harbor,
for Commercial purposes as well as for
the better accommodation of vessels
of the Navy and transports.
In dredging and widening this har-
Dor, necessarily there had to be some
place to dump the excavated material
and convenience, economy and view
to possible future usefulness decided
the piling of the excavated material
on what is called Sand Island so that
island has assumed quite dignified pro-
portions.
For some time 1t is likely that moth
ing will surmount this islet other than
the $50,O00 front range light and other
lighthouse department paraphernaia.
It is not even certain, at this writing
where there will he constructed a
wharf for the accommodation OF the
lighthouse tender Kukui now en- route
to these waters. The Kukui, upon
arrival here, will have very little need
for wharf to tie to, for she will be
on the hustle for many months, there
being large amount Of important and
immediate lighthouse work for her al
various island ports. By the time
she has a chance to bank her fires
there will undoubtedly have been de-
termined a permanent mooring place
for her.
1t is expected that before March 4
of next year, Congress will have ap
propriated 100000 for immediate use
for rivers and harbors improvements
for the further improvement of this
harbor, and another 100000 in readi
ness.

According to a cablegram received
this morning from Secretary of the
Interior Garfield by Acting Governor
Mott-Smith, a conference which may
mean much to Hawaii was held on i'm
migration matters in Washington to-
day. The message reads as follows:
"E. A. MOTT-SMIT Honolulu,
Conference held today at depart
ment of Interior between Secretary
Garfield, Governor Frear, Ernest Fab
bril- of New York, and Trenor, agent
board of immigration, Hawaii. Whole
subject of immigration was gone into
fully. 1t is hoped important results
will ultimately follow discussion.

BAKER FORFEITS
SEAT IN SENATE
BY HOLDING
AS A sENAToR-ATTORNEY
GENERALS DEPARTMENT WILL INVESTIGATE THE MATTER

Senator-elect David K. Baker, of Ko-
ma, Hawaii, seems almost certain to
have lost his chance of sitting as
member of the upper house during the
coming session of the Legislature. He
is at present holding the office of De-
putty Sheriff of North Kona, which
makes him ineligible to be a member
of the Legislature. Section II of the
Organic Act holds:
That no person holding ce in
or under or authority of the
Territory of Hawaii shall be eligible
to election to the Legislature, or to
hold the position of a member of the
same while holding public Office
According to the law the term of a
member of the Senate commences
with his election and lasts for the
period of four years. Therefore, after
the votes had been counted Baker was
a senator but in holding the Office OF
deputy sheriff since that time he has
given up this right, and has committed
an act which is practically the same as
his resignation.
The actions of Baker in regard to
the holding of the Office OF deputy
sheriff have been very peculiar and
he seems to have tried to find a way
of evading the law, which has resulted
in a rather embarrassing situation. At
the meeting of the Hawaii Board of
Supervisors which was held on No
vember 6, letter from Baker resign
ing from the position of Deputy She
riff as of the date of October 81 was
read and accepted, A few minutes
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-12-07

after this a second letter, withdrawing
a request of reappointment. This was
referred to the committee on civil SER
vice, which reported on it favorabliy
the next day. Shipman alone made
a protest but was beaten, the appoint
ment being carried by vote of four
to one.
The matter was mentioned this
morning to Acting Governor Mott
Smith and to Deputy Attorney General
Whitney by a Star reporter and the
facts explained. The Attorney Generals
department will investigate the case
carefully and it is quite likely that
quo warranto proceedings may be
brought before the Supreme Court on
the petition of some citizen. In this
case, if the court should decide that
Baker has forfeited his right to sit, a
special election would be called and
a new senator elected before the meet
ing of the Legislature.
Baker has been acting as deputy
sheriff of North Kona during the past
month, as is shown in the office OF
High Sheriff Henry, for whom he has
served papers in the partition suit OF
James X. Bush. If he can make any
satisfactory explanation of the manner
in which he has acted the government
officials would be interested. 1t is
practically certain that the Republican
Territorial Central Committee will take
the matter up at once and look after iii
prosecution, which would probably
place one more Republican in the Sc
nate in place of Home Ruler.
