.LILLIPUTIAN SHOW
OFF FOR TONIGHT

Owing to the probable early depar-
ture of the S. S. Makura this evening
the vaudeville performance Of the lilli-
putians arranged for tonight has been
called off.
The Lilliputians were rendered an
ovation last night that they will long
remember. All their friends were
there to give them a farewell that
should go a long way toward showing
the little people how much they will
be missed when they sail away in the
Mallura tonight
Flowers, candy boxes odd-looking
packages, heaps of roses and leis were
passed up over the footlights at the
end of the first act, and the children,
leaving their stations with little cries
of delight, rushed to the front and
gathered them up, piling them up at
the back of the stage. Between the
acts, the flowers and presents were dis
tributed, and the happy little young
sters received many tributes from
friends In the closing chorus they
all wore the leis and flowers and the
effect was very pretty.

congressional terms expired on March
4. When the true character of the
legislation became known, word was
sent to the men promoting the scheme
that they would be exposed unless
they consented to withdraw the bill.
Rather than face such an exposure the
measure was quietly dropped, and the
corps of lame ducks were turned
loose to shift for themselves. Their
soheme'was too raw for even the lead
ers in the Senate.

COALING THE
JAP WARSHIPS

The japanese way" of coaling a
warship is to be witnessed at the naval
station today, and a great sight it is to
those used to the big basket arrange
ment of other navies AS was prob
ably to be expected large crowds have
remained around the docks to see the
curious work go on, but it must be
said that there was general approval
of the scheme as to speed and also as
safeguard against the clouds of coal
dust which come from the big basket
arrangement
The carrier of the Japanese is a
small, shallow basket, carrying less
than a half bushel of coal. These,
being very light, are easily and rapidly
handled. A double line of men are
stationed from the wharf up the side
of the vessel, along the deck and TO
the shute into the bunkers. The bas-
kets, started from below, are passed
rapidly up, from hand to hand, keep
ing constant stream of coal descend
ing the shute. Three sets of men,
about thirty in each gang, are at work
at each of the two vessels, and the
rapidity with which they get away
with the coal keeps a long string OF
coal carts on the jump.
But this is not the only way the
vessels are being coaled. Early this
, morning the coal railway of the I. l.
S. N. Co. was set going, and car fol-
lowed rapidly after car over the track
to the Bishop slip, where the coal was
dumped onto huge lighterss. This
process was particularly fast and
satifactory. President Kennedy, Of
the I. l. S. N. Co. personally superrn-
were moved to the warships, the sam =
process of taking it aboard in small
baskets was begun and successfully
carried on.
About 800 tons altogether are being
taken by the two ships. The coal was
purchased from the Inter-Island S. S
Company, that concern having offered
it at a low, bulk figure.
To the casual observer, the process
of loading seems slow, inasmuch as the
baskets are so tiny; but, as a matter
of fact it is one of the fastest schemes
ever employed here. This is not hard
to understand when it is remembered
that there is a constant stream" of
all the time.

QUICKER ACTION
W. SMITH CALLS FACT THAT LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS
APPROACHING TO ATTENTION MEMBERS OF THE SENATE
PASSES THIRD READING AGAINST FAIR
FIGHT-$5OOO A. CUNIN1INs

When the Senate opened its morn
ing session today President Smith
took occasion to call the attention of
the members to the. fact that but 81
days more remained in which to trans
act business. He stated that up to
this time the Senate had finally dis
posed of SO bills, of which Al had
originated in the House. There are
still on hand 81 Senate bills and 81
House bills. He stated that it was
very gratifying to note that OF the ten
bills which had been vetoed by Gov
ernor Frear, none had been Senate
bills. He urged the members of the
various committees to hurry their
work through as quickly as possible
The bill placing the pay of Terri
torial and County laborers at a mini
mum of $1.50 passed third reading and
will now go back to the House as
Senator Fairchild, who was support
ed by some of the country members,
but they were unable to muster up
enough votes to kill the act. If it
is vetoed by Governor Frear, as the
general understanding seems to be, it
is doubtful if enough votes can be
mustered in the Senate to pass over
his veto. The present law in which
the minimum pay of the Territorial
laborers is placed at slips per day
was vetoed in the last session but
passed over the Governors head.
Senator Fairchild took a couple of
slaps at Land Commissioner Pratt
during the discussion of the bill to
provide for the building of roads
through public lands opened for set
tlement, though ne did not mention
the official by name. None of the 9TH
er members rose to defend the Terri
torial official.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for the
reimbursement of John A. Cummins,
for a fine inflicted when he was tried
for treason passed with little difficulty.
1t is one whicn has been before the
Legislature at each session for some
years.

One Of RankeSt
Graft Schemes


Especial Correspondence of The Starr
The United States Senate, in the
closing days of the late session, killed
off one of the rankest CRAFTS that has
been proposed in Congress in many
years. A scheme had been Matched to
provide lucrative jobs for ten retir-
ing members of the Goth Congress,
five senators and five representatives.
1t was proposed to create a "Commis-
sion on Alcoholic Liquor Traffic" for
the ostensible purpose of looking into
the question of federal regulation of
the sale and transportation of intoxi-
eating liquors, and for the stated pur-
pose of gathering data for the infor-
nation and use of Congress. The bill
authorizing this Commission was so
worded that had it passed, the Speaker
and Vice President, just before the
close of the recent Congress, could
have appointed the members of the
