which means whole lot for Hawaii
and a whole lot for the Ashford boy.
Frear, whatever his critics may say
does like to stand up for anything Ha-
waiian, and politics or no uolitics,
Frear is going to see that the Ashford
youngster gets justice if he hasn't
already had it.
It was not known until today that
Frear had interested himself in the
matter; but since he has taken up
the cause it may be stated definitely
that if the son of c. W. Ashford hasn't
been handled according to Hoyle he
will be reinstated in Annapolis Naval
Academy in spite of the pre-arranged
spite of a certain alleged comrade who
has been working for his canning"
All that young Ashford was expelled
for was smoking. The punishment is
terribly greater than the alleged crime
and is as clearly spite work as any
thing ever perpetrated.

alleged importation of labor by the
contract system.
q don't want to pry into the secrets

smiled and said that whatever was be-
ing done would soon develop.
AS a result of this apparently acci-
dental exposure in open court, how
ever, there has been considerable OF
a sensation, though why there. should
be any anxiety unless some guilt is
back of it, is impossible of explanation.
1t was thought that Breckons might
throw some light on the interesting
situation this morning, but Breckons
wise and silent, probably pursuing the
prosecution, absolutely ignored the
proposition of there being any inves-
tigation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, November
27-Extending and completing his re-
searches on the origin of the planets
and satellites of the solar system,
earlier accounts of which were made
public in January and June of the pre-
sent year, Professor T. J. J. See, U. 5.
Navy, the astronomer in charge OF
the Naval Observatory at Mare Island,
gave tonight to the Astronomical So
ciety of the Pacific an explanation OF
the origin of the craters of the moon,
and then proceeded to apply the new
theory to the obliquities of the plan
cts, which he said, overcame the last
difficulty in the way Of the Capture
Theory" recently advanced by him as
supplanting the nebular hypothesis OF
Laplace.
Professor See announced that the
lunar craters were undoubtedly due to
the impact of smaller satellites against
the surface of the moon, and not to
volcanic action, as had been generally
believed since the time of Calico. The
view that the lunar craters might be
due to impact, he said, had occurred
to Proctor as long ago as 1878, anc
had been mentioned as a curiosity by

Brown, the jury hung yesterday after
noon, six to six. 1t was a surprise
both ways, for BreclSons was as sure
of conviction as Mcbride was sure
of acquittal.
what stuck in the crop of the dis
senting jurors was the proposition Of
the saemen hat he Hindu needed
no interpreter, even according to the
testimony of the prosecution. They
gave the fellow the benefit of the
doubt as to his having meant what he
is supposed to have meant in the al
legged language he is said to have used
i'm the offer of a bribe.

Governor Walter Francis Frear has
among his missions to Washington
the justification of young Stanley Ash
ford of Honolulu, son of Clarence w,
Ashfrd.
In a way, the Governors mission to
the national capital is all important
to, the general public of Hawaii in so
far as there is a general feeling that
an injustice has been done to the son
of one of the city's leading citizens.
Territorial Treasurer D. Lloyd Conk-
ling, recently returned from a main
land trip, declares, as has been pub
lished, that young Ashford's canning
at Annapolis was the result Of spite
work, and it is safe to say that what
ever was in Conkling's power to do
he did, for the benefit of the boy.
But the important fact remains that
there is nobody who can do anything
except through Washington, and Gov
ernor Frear has taken the matter up,

The greatest secrecy characterizes
the office of the United States District
Attorney in regard to the matter OF
the investigation of what are alleged
to be violations of the contract labor
law.
AS was exclusively told in The Star
of yesterday, Robert w. Breckons, U.
s. Attorney, is making such an inves-
tigation and the fact leaked out in
open court during the trial of Hindu
for aiseged bribery. Mr.. Breckons
this morning declined to make any
statement in regard to the facts, re-
fus'nt even t. say whethe. or not there
was any such investigation.
There was absolutely no other source
of information in regard to this in
vestigation beyond what came out in
open court, when Claudius Mcbride
defending the Hindu, asked Breckons
who had taken the witness stand, whe-

Newcomb in 1878; while it had been
more fully developed by DR.. X. X. Gil
bert, of the U. s. Geological Survey i'll
1892. But the impact theory had nev-
er been accepted by biologists or as
tronomers, and was not mentioned in
any recent works on astronomy, so
great has been the force of tradi-
tional opinion inclining to the old vol
canic theory
Professor See however, pointed out
detailed reasons which he CLAIMS were
absolutely decisive against the vol
canic theory, and remarked that there
woulrd now be less difficulty in seeing
the truth of the impact theory than
| formerly, because he had recently
proved that the moon is not a part of
the earth thrown off by rapid rotation,
but planet captured from space The
new theory of the capture of the moon,
be said, had been favorably received
| by the scientific world, but it would
be of stin greater use in bringing to
light other discoveries, such as those
announced tonight.
DR.. See said the typical crater on tne
moon was a very large circular depres-
sion with steep walls inside and slop-
ing walls outside, and a small peak
in the center, with the top of it be-
low the average level of the lunar sur
face. If any one supposed the craters
to be volcanic it was impossible to
account for the depressions where the
craters stand and no forces direcced
from within could dig out the circular
trough about the peak in the center.
Then, too, the way the craters lie over
one another shows that they are moth
ing but satellite indentations. About
the newer craters, as Copernicus, Ty-
cho, Aristarchus, ETC., the bright rays
radiating in all directions show that at
the time of the collisions the force of
the impact was such that matter was
melted, vaporized and driven out from
these centers in all directions. A
satellite hitting the moon might have
its temperature raised to four thousand
degrees or higher, and the bright rays
from the craters were due to the spat-
tering of highly heated matter
The blazing flash seen in target prac-
tice when shot hits the target was
familiar to officers of the military
service, and the fattening and spread
ing of the projectile was such as tc
give peak in the center Of the mash
ed shell, while at the same time a rim
is formed around it, just like that seer
