throughout Hawaii Territory. who OBJ

Perhaps the most interested and in

in this city is John Cook whose portrait
appears herewith by courtesy of The
Paradise of the Pacific, Honolulu's
monthly magazine, who lives with his
family on North School street and who
is the possessor of an American flag
of great historical value and for which
he has from time to time been offered
large sums of money, this particular
edition of the Stars and Stripes being
the emblem raised by Captain John G.
Fremont at Gavillan Peak, near Mon
terey, California, in March, 1916, the
first flag of the United States ever
raised in California, in defiance OF
Mexican authority.
Later Fremont went to Suffers Fort,
near Sacramento. and on July 11,1S46,
raised this same flag with a salute OF
twenty-one guns, announcing that Cali
fornia had been taken and was held
by the United States.

TO EAST
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAY BE
CALLED BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT TWICE THIS YEAR.

1t is just possible that Attorney Gen
eral Hemenway may be forced to make
two trips to Washington this year to
appear before the Supreme Court OF
the United States. The Territory has
three cases pending before the Su-
preme Court, the Lahainaluna case be-
ing the one which causes most trouble
and the other two being the Territory
vs.. the Kapiolani Estate and the Ter
ritory VS.. Pauahi.
d. L. Wilmington, representing the
defence in the Lahainaluna case, has
moved that it be advanced on the cal
endar so that 1t will come up in No
vember, a motion which viii be OPP
posed by the Territory as it would
force Hemenway to go to Washington
specially for this case and then again
later for the other two. Wilmington
is going East at that time to appear
in another case, so wants to make one
trip do for both.

gas and a flame shot over twenty
feet high, and has been burning
brilliantly ever since. Last night
the flame lit up the surrounding
country and attracted hundreds of
people for miles around.
The David woman, who owns 1866

M'CRACKEN TO Be
UNRESTRICTED ON
COMMISSIONER
Lawrence Finn Of Greensboro
Seems to Have Cinch on
the Position.
Local Delegates Will be Chos.
en- August %.
BRADSHAW ISSUES CALL TODAY.

II looks like the delegates from
McCracken county TO the convention
to select a Democratic nominee for
railroad commissioner to fill out the
unexpired term of the late Med. Fer
guson will go uninstructed. w. F.
Bradshaw, Jr., chairman of the coun-
ty committee, has called a mass
meeting at the county court house
Saturday, August 2S, to appoint and
instruct delegates. McCracken coun-
ty Is entitled to 22 delegates, but It
is thought only one man will attend
owing to the expense of attending
the convention In greensboro.
Lawrence Finn, of Owensboro,
seems to be the active candidate, al
though several weeks ago a number
Of Democrats we're spoken of as can
didates. Finn had a majority of the
delegates at the last election, but
the Democrats from the western part
of the state combined, and gave he
nomination to Ferguson. Now many
think Finn is entitled to the Office
for his past efforts. The delegate
from McCracken county doubtless
will carry his vote and fully 20 prox-
les, as so far nobody has announced
for the place of delegate.
