Of NEW
COLD COINAGE HERE

Passengers aboard the S. S. Hilonian
last night brought to Honolulu some
of the new gold coins just issued from
the San Francisco mint according to
the new designs. These coins are some
what similar to those originally de-
signed by st. Gaudens, but have the
SIN God We Trust' motto replaced
and the pantelletes of the bird cut ac-
cording to different style. The TWEEN
ties have the stars put back again on
the face of the coin, instead of being
sunken on the rim, and the milling has
come back The coins are an improve
ment on the original new ones, but it
will be some time before they are as
popular as the old spread-eagle brand.
A San Francisco criticism Of them
says: i
FBankers and bank tellers do not
like the new S. pieces and say all
sorts of harsh and uncomplimentary
things about the innocent and unof-
Tending halfeagles. They are too
thin; their edges are fiat; they do not
stack well nor evenly; their stacks are
deceptive and misleading; they do not
fit with the older coins. Those and
similar remarks were made by bank
tellers who handled a large number of
the new coins. Some criticized the de-
sign and the manner of its execution,
made sport of the female face divine,
with hollow cheeks, and the bird clad
in panties. All agreed that the new
coin is more like telephone slug than
a coin of the realm. -

FRIEND OF HAWAII MAY BE
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE

Word has been received in Honolulu
from an unofficial source, but from
one who is in a position to know, that
the next Secretary of Agriculture in
the Taft cabinet will be Clifford
Pinchot, head of the Federal Forest
Service at present and a good friend
of Hawaii. The appointment of Mr..
Pinchot, however, according to the re-
port, will not be made for few

OCTOPUS IN PEARL HARBoR.

A few days ago, while DR.. McGrew
was near his boat wharf at Aiea, he
saw something strange in the water
close to the outer piles and, going to
see, came face to face with an octo-
pus. The Doctor says that the mon
ster was holding on to the wharf and
made a low, growing sound as he ap-
preached. The head Of the octopus
was larger than that of ten-year-old
boy, and its arms were very long. DR..
McGrew hurried to the house for a
gun, but when he returned the devil
fish had gone.

PEARL HARBOR CHANNEL
PLANS ARE ALTERED

to 800 feet While this makes the
amount of the contract approximately
one-quarter less, the altered plans are
altogether in favor of the contractors,
cutting down by one-half the most diff
ficult and most expensive portion of the
proposed work and allowing the same
average price per yard for the re-
mainder The figuring had been done
including the whole six hundred feet
channel width and the cost estimated
accordingly, So that the estimated prof
its on the contract now are much
larger than had been counted upon.
''The Dillinghams ought to clean up
half a million dollars on this contract
now,' stated an engineer last night,
who is familiar with the plans and the
work to be done.

The report that the Hawaiian Dredg-
ing Company, to whom the Pearl Har-
Dor dredging contract is awarded, is
now controlled and owned entirely by
the Dillingham; interests, is confirmed
by news brought by the Hilonian last
night, E. J. Lord having sold out his
interest to them for one hundred thou
sand dollars. This deal was put
through in Washington, pending the
awarding of the Pearl Harbor con-
tract, the sale of the Lord interest be-
ing made indirectly to the Dillinghams
through the Atlantic Gulf Dredging
Company.
With this confirmation comes word of
the altering of the Pearl Harbor con-
tract by cutting down the width of
the channel to be dredged from GOO

Midnight attacks by burglars on
householders who surprise them are be-
coming numerous, the latest one re-
ported to the police being a bold at
tempt to rob the room of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fernbach at Waikiki last Wednesday
night, followed by a vicious attack by
the intruder on Mrs. Fernbaeh.
The Fernbaehs reside in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. X. Hopkins, Wal
Xxi. About half-past ten on Wednes-
day night Mrs. Fernbach was aroused
by a noise in the room, but paid no
attention at first, believing it was a
cat. The noise continued, and finally
Mrs. Fernbaeh got up to investigate.
AS she arose and stood up in the

standing near the bureau. She ad-
vanced bravely and called out, sharp
ly: "Who is that9'' The person
standing at the bureau turned his head
ed. Mrs. Fernbach took another step,
and as she did so the intruder jumped
at her, caught her by the throat and
then, holding her, reached to the door,
felt for the key, unlocked the door,
and then, releasing his hold, fed from
the house.
The burglar, caught while at his
work, failed to get anything of value
from the house.

SANTA CLAUS
IS GENEROUS
MaIihinis' Christmas Tree viii
Bear Gifts for Thirteen
Hundred.

/ A great big Christmas tree from the
summit of Tantalus, selected by Ralph
s. Hosmer, Superintendent Of Forestry
of the Bureau Of Agriculture and For
estry of Hawaii, will be planted in
tie Young Hotel park on Friday and
loaded with Christmas gifts for the
part of the Christmas celebration that
is being given to the cosmopolitan
youthful population of the Paradise of
the Pacific by three young men from
the mainland stopping at the Young
Hotel. They find themselves this year
far, far from home. with longing for
real snowy Christmas, but, being
here, decided that they would not be
lonely and would do some good.
At first they thought to give some
thing to each of about 300 children.
Then the Salvation Army and many
missions about town said they had
many, many children under their care
whom they wished to include if it
were agreeable to the donors. Then
the latter planned for 600, then 500,
then a thousand, and yesterday after
noon the figures had reached 1900.
They have had tickets printed bearing
the legend "Malihinis Christmas"
and only the boy or girl who has
ticket will be admitted into the charm
ed enclosure which a big and real
Santa Clans will mark about the tree
from Tantalus.
One of the young men called upon
Sheriff Iaukea yesterday afternoon and
asked for large number of police to
preserve order and prevent a rush, par
ticularly of youngsters not fortunate
enough to have tickets, Then it was
thought that the Hawaiian band would
be an attraction, and so one of the
Young men saw Chairman Hustace of
the Board of Supervisors. He granted
permission for the band to play, and
Captain Berger, leader of the band,
was delighted at the opportunity, so
the musicians will play for two hours
Christmas forenoon.
The young men will be assisted by |
Mr. Rath of the Palama Mission, Mr.. |
Rider of the Kakaako Mission; Rev. |
Mr.. Potwine of Ste. Elizabeth s, and |
the Salvation Army people, who know
the youth of Honolulu better than any |
one else Mrs. Rider is making the |
bags for the candies. Theodore Hof- |
mann of the Young Hotel Company has |
offered to decorate the tree with in |
eandescents. Should there be rain on |
that day, the Christmas gifts will be
kept in one of the big stores in the
Young building, and the boys and girls |
will march through to receive their
gifts. One of the young men bought
5wenty-eight dozen dolls yesterday, and
everything is being purchased by the
lozen and gross Wall, Nichols Co. and
Kerr & Co. are selling toys to the
voung men at cost.

THE MAYORALTY
CONTEST IN THE
SUPREME COURT
Petitioners Examined as to Their information
as to Alleged Fraud Hernandez
Spread Information.

! Three questions of law were being
argued before the Supreme Court yes
terday when the time came for adjourn
ment in the mayoralty contest, and the
argument viii be concluded this morn
ing, as well as argument on fourth
question suggested by Justice Wilder
during the argument on the other
three. 1t is possible that the decision
on these points of law may practically
end the case where it is, without a re-
count in any of the precincts. If it
does not, several days may be occupied
IN the hearing of the case.
Three Questions of Law.
The three questions of law being ar
gued were stated by the court itself, by
Chief Justice Hartwell, at the begia-
ming of the afternoon session. They
are these: The materiality of the evil
dence that some votes were received
IN the eleventh precinct of the Fifth
District after 5 O'Clock; the materi-
atty of the evidence as to Willie Craw-
ford being inside the polling place in
the fourteenth precinct of the Fifth,
and assisting in the count; and the ma
teriality of the evidence that being in
the polling place he spoke TO Chinese
voters in Chinese.
The fourth question Justice Wilder
raised and asked argument upon is
whether or not under the law on a pc
titiOn for a recount by electors the
thirty electors must all have informa-
tion of the same irregularity?
Davis on Crawford.
In the argument on the three ear
ier propositions, George A. Davis pre-
sented the contentious of the petition
ers as to the Willie Crawford alleged
irregularities. He insisted that Craw-

longer than any former Secretary since
the time Of Washington and establish
ing a record which may not be beaten
for a century to come.
Secretary Wilson was appointed to
his present department by President
Mckinley on March 5, 1897, and has
served through the Mckinley and
Roosevelt administrations.

ford had no right in the polling place
at all, notwithstanding his appoint
ment as a clerk by the County Clerk on
the authority of the Board of Super
visors. Justice Wilder called Mr..
Davis attention to section of the
statute giving representatives of par
ties and candidates and the public gen
orally a right inside the polling place
during the count. Mr.. Davis modified
his claim, limiting it to the time dur
ing the voting. The court decided of
its own motion that the allegation that
Crawford had offered to bet that Achi
would carry the precinct was fmma-
terial.
Five O'Clock Closing.
A. G. NJ. Robertson argued that the
requirement that the polls should be
closed at FIVE was mandatory, and that,
therefore, if it is, the fact that the
polls were not closed at that hour
in the eleventh would require that the
entire vote of the precinct should be
thrown out. The Chief Justice called
his attention to the law requiring the
ballots to be made up in packages of
one hundred, and asked him if by ac-
cident one hundred and one ballots
were put in one package if that would
void the whole election. Robertson
said it would if the provision was man
datory.
Might Unseat Others.
The throwing out of this precinct,
without any other change of returns,
would defeat Fern, as he got good
majority at this precinct. But seem
ingly if the vote for Mayor was thrown
out because votes were received after
five O'Clock the vote for all other of
