Naval reservation or most of the ma

quarters acres were recently ordered

is soon to be transferred to the Fed

transports, altogether, or for whatever
use the Army sees fit.
With the moving of the Naval head
quarters from Honolulu to Pearl Har-
Dor will come a lot of changes looking
to the general advance here in army
and navy work. The buildings which
will be erected at Pearl Harbor to ac-

Honolulu as the present structures eX-

With the establishment of Naval

PREMATURE
CAvILLING
SUPERINTENDENT CAMPBELL OBJ
JECTS TO KICKING AT COURTESY
TENDERED TO HILO PEOPLE.

Referring to the satirical criticism
of the editor of the Hilo Tribune on the
preliminary pans of the Hilo court
house, superintendent of Public
Works Marston Campbell said today:
"He might have looked for the defi-
milton of preliminary in Websters
Dictionary.
''That is all the plans are, prelimin-
ary, and they were sent to Hilo for
criticisms and suggestions of a prac-
tical sort from the people of Hilo.
1T is evident that the editor of the
Tribune has not taken this action of
the department in the proper spirit.
The preliminary plans are something
on which to found an appropriation to
be asked of the Legislature. They are
merely suggestion( to various officials
who are to occupy the building to eX-
press their ideas in regard to the ar
rangements and other details. These
are all matters of adjustment.
Proper and decent criticism is al
ways appreciated and desired by this
department, whose operations interest
the masses of the people, and ex-
pressions of opinion are regarded as
of immense value in the preparation of
plans for public works.
Heretofore such Things have been
presented to the Legislature in the
form of generalities. This method of
laying details of proposed works before
the legislature is something definite on
which public opinion is given chance
for expression before the appropria-
tions are voted"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-02-08

Honolulu Naval station will be used by
the Army and the Navy will put up it's
own wireless station at Pearl Harbor.
A corral will probably be established
on what is now the Naval reservation
but which will be taken over by the
Army for the accommodation of Army
horses and mules landed here for ca
valry, field guns and eommissary work,
and for the exercise of animals en- route
from the mainland to the Philippines
in transports.
Coal supply for ships of the Navy
may be divided between Honolulu and
Pearl Harbor storage, but this, as are
most details concerning the change, is
indefinite, the military authorities ne
nessarily confining their energies to
what is Immediately required
In regard to the use of the five and
three quarters acres just ordered trans
ferred for location of storehouses and
shops for submarine mines, it is sup
posed that the acreage noted lies at the
OANlCihC Ollu VI lllN ANtlN al lOoNl
vation on the Waikiki side of the Ho-
nolulu channel and there will be a
wharf there for the use of the mine
laying vessel to be assigned here be-
fore long. Which of the numerous
mine-layers is to be ordered here can
not be said, but her orders are expect
ed to bring her here soon.
AS to the statioring of Marines or
this island, official .5dblications have
for sometime shown NhaH tifteen hun
dred were to be placed here. One thirt
of that number is here already. The
rest will follow shortly There is tall
OF four hundred coming in the next triI
this way of the cruiser Buffalo.

are behaving, toward other nations as
in private life an honorable man
would behave toward his fellows"
In the light of these declarations we
have no hesitation but entertain en-
couraging hope in approaching our
honored President in the attitude or
intercessors. The Christian people OF
the Hawaiian Islands, through the Ha-
waiian Evangelical Association, have
bespoken our influence and aid. They
represent that the consistent policy OF
the Kamehameha sovereigns of Ha-
waii has been to prohibit the liquor
traffic among their people, but that
since the annexation of these islands
to the United States, multiplied sa-
looms have come in; that this baleful
institution has been followed by most
disastrous results, there having been
not only the ordinary Generalization
and debauching of the people but also
the rapid diminution in numbers OF
the native population.
This Committee constituted by the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of Ame-
rica, desires most respectfully to pre-
sent the complaint of this humble peo-
pie and would very earnestly second
their petition that the Government OF
the United States shall right this grie-
vous wrong by the enactment of such
legislation as shall outlaw the liquor
traffic in the Hawaiian Islands.
In behalf of the Committee.
