Washington This is in the person
of James B. Rickard, of the Rickard
family of Hawaii. He has been do
ing legal work in the Department of
the Interior for some years, chiefly
ON land matters and is spoken of very
highly. At his own request he was
transferred some few months ago to
the Bureau of Indian affairs and has
been doing very important work there.
He is a great favorite with Secretary
Garfield and is generally liked here.
The question is how he will stand
with the Republican Executive Com
mittee in Hawaii. From all that I can
learn here, Atkinson will have that
support while Rickard will be by far
the strongest here Which way Ku-
hio will throw his influence is some
thing that l have not been able to
learn, but it seems very likely that
he will favor Atkinson as the choice
of the two.

TAFT OUTLINES HIS POLICIES
Fight Over
Pearl HapbOp

Washington, d. c., Feb 20 1909.
EDITOR HAWAIIAN STAR-Sena-
tor Hale has blockei the special es-
innate for increasing the limit of cost
on the Pearl Harbor Dry Dock.
When the opening OF the dry dock
bids a week ago showed that upwards
of a million dollars increase would be
required in the authorization before
the contract could be let, one of the
Navy officials asked Mr. Mcclellan and
me to go to Senator Perkins and get
him to move an amendment to the
Naval Bill which had already been re-
ported to the Senate. This we did,
and Senator Perkins promised to look
after it,
Unfortunately the Navy Department
concluded, from the unanimous action
of Congress last year, that they could
get almost anything they wanted for
Pearl Harbor, merely by asking for
it. Accordingly, instead of sending an
estimate for the additional million
dollars needed. they sent request for
an increase of $1,5O0,O0O. The result
was that Chairman Hale refused to
accept such an amendment to the bill,
and Senator Perkins refused to offer
it.
Realizing the Importance of secur-
ing this increase II possible, we ap-
pealed in turn to Senator's Flint, Gal
linger and Lodge to offer the amend
ment; they all declined to undertake
it, for Senator Hale's word is law on
the Naval bill in the Senate; and in
/ the face of the strong attack being
made on his bill, he feared to advance
so large an increase as to nearly dou-
BILE the price of the dock

KILLS POI PICTURES;
COELHO WANTS CIVIC FED LIST,
FEDS PROTEST AGAINST LIQUOR BILL

In the space OF forty-eight minutes
the Senate this morning finally pass
ed two or three bills, passed a greater
number ON second reading and COM
mitted a whole book OF law in embryo.
Part of that time also was required
for reading of minutes, of a double
barrel petition from Lahaina and a me-
mortal from the Civic Federation
against the liquor law amendment
bill. So it will be seen that the upper
chamber is a place of action rather
than of airy persifiage. The only gin
gerry incident was when Coelho moved
that the Civic Federation be requested
to furnish list of its members so
that the Senate might know its real
status, and President Smith with a
tone of annoyance remarked that the
motion was not seconded and then
promptly referred the memorial to
committee.

A notable party of japanese arriv-
ed in the Tenyo Maru this morning,
on their way to Yokohama, and the
prominent Japanese of Honolulu are
spreading themselves in the way OF
entertaining the visitors. A large del
egation, headed by Consul Ueno, Vice
Consul Abe and Mr.. Otzuko, vice pre-
sident of the Yokohama Specie Bank,
met the party at the wharf this morn
ing and escorted it's members to the

senator Lodge took me to Chairman
Hale and we discussed the matter at
some length. When we found that
we could not secure any encourage
ment from him, we determined to
make an appeal direct to the Presi-
dent.
We went accordingly to the Presl-
dent on Wednesday morning and stat
ed the situation. He expressed imme-
diate interest in the matter, summon
ed the Secretary of the Navy to come
at once to his Office, and asked us
to go to one of the most prominent
senators, whom he designated, and say
to him that it was the Presidents re-
quest that he endeavor to persuade
Senator Hale to accept this amend
ment. The President also INDUCED in
some very personal comment on the
California Senator who had refused
to offer the amendment
We at once conferred with the 9TH
er senator as requested by the Pre-
sident; he was however unable to Sc
cure favorable action, and the Ma
val bill was passed with no increase
whatever for the dry dock cost limit
The suggestion has since been made
to the Navy Department that a con-
tract be let for a 600 It. dock, with a
provision obligating the contractor to
construct the 1880 it, dock at the bid
price in case the cost limit increase is
secured in next years Naval bill. The
Secretary has not yet passed on this
proposition and he may leave the de-
cision to his successor after March
the fourth.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 19.
The matter of the United States
District Attorney for Hawaii is still
in a state of uncertainty. 1t appears
that when Governor Frear was here
last time he Knocked" Breckons
hard at the Department of Justice
and elsewhere. Frear had nothing
particular to say against Breckons'
integrity, it is stated, but he said
that Breckons was not man of the
dignity needed to uphold his position
properly. This was followed up later
when the Thwing trouble started.
1t is stated that Breckons' resigna-
tion may not be accepted and that
anyhow the matter of an appointment
is likely to go over to the next admin
istration.
A new candidate for the vacancy
made by the resignation of r. w.

In consideration of the fact that this
is Presidential inaugural day, and Taft
is taking up the Big Stick at Washing
ton, the House, Alfonso introducing a
resolution to that effect, adjourned at
1890, at the end of the morning ses-
sion, until the usual hour tomorrow.
For the same reason did the Hawai-
ian band play patriotic airs for an hour
this morning, and for the same reason
did the House chaplain pray that Taft
might keep up the good work, or words
to that effect There was no vote TAX
en- on the amen so it is impossible to
say whether or not the Democrats and
lone Home Ruler echoed the invocation.
Most exciting in the House this
morning was the passage of Kaleiopus
relief measure for the unpaid laborers
who were led into jobs by Supervisors
who had more confidence in themselves
than in the Mayor. 1t passed after at
tacks from the opposition minority
that were almost bitter.

 Accompanying each view Is an instruct i've and entertaining explanation of the scene shown.
 The rugged beauty of the Rocky noun tains and the scenic grandeur of the cas- cades and olympics are reproduced quite wildly and described most adequately, so that a glance through this collection of views is about the next thing to mak- ing a trip to the great 'fWestern Won derland' and a visit to the exposition at Seattle.

 The plot rests upon the fact that Maris Alden had been married in her girlhood to a man who deserted her and took away her child.
 Learning that the Kidnapping -absconding husband was dead, Maris married Dwight Alden, who had just become a resident of the south to assume the management of large cotton mill owned by the New York firm of which he was the junior partner
 Maris had searched in vain for several years to find her little girl. Felicia, and had given up all hope when, after arriv- ing and settling in the south. she dis covers the little girl as a slave In her husbands (Mr. Alden's) cotton mill.
 There Is conflict of human interests. a deep love motive that runs through four related lives among the characters in this very good book, and the terrific power for good or evil held in the hands of the controller of southern cotton mills all bearing a vital part in the drama as it Is unfolded artistically.
 Thef CIV chapters which aim to portray life in the cotton mill towns and in the factories are handled with pathos, real ism and quite a lot of power.
