HILONIAN FIRST SHIP
FOR WHICH MAKAPUUS
BEACON LIGHT SHINES

Makapuu Points new navigation
light shone brilliantly shortly after
six clock last evening when the Mat
son steamship Hilonian passed abreast
of the point, the first vessel to pass
the light after it was turned on at dusk
last evening Officers of the steamship
say that the light is brilliant and that
1t can be seen far out at sea. Some
OF the officers wished that they had
not come within sight of the Islands
so early because of the opportunity
AFFORDED to pick up the light. The
hight was turned on by Lampist Palmer
OF the [. S. Engineer s office. The
light IS to be in charge of John Ne
LaughlIn who will arrive today from
NaWlilwIh, where he has been keeper
OF the government light. George a.
beasliy, first assistant, and George
Mansfield, second assistant, were pres
enf last night when the switch was
turned on and the light flashed its
way across twenty five miles of ocean.
The Makapuu light is the result of
the experience of the big Pacific Mail
inner Manehuria going on the reef at
Nalmanalo. The vessel went off her
course during the night and there be-

Bay. Efforts were made at once to
secure light for Makapuu Point and
it was built under the direction of
Captain Orwell and Major Winslow of
the United States Engineer Corps. 1t
is one of the finest lights ever in
stalled by the Federal government, the
lenses being particularly fine.
Hilonians Big List.
The Hilonian was in range of the
light for only a short time. She ar
rived in port shortly after clock,
with quite list to starboard. She
brought many passengers and 100 tons
of cargo. She was overhauled while
in San Francisco, laying over one trip
and her bearings being new. Captain

kALUANUI ROAD
MONEY Is READY
Supervisors Pass Resolution
Making Appropriation on
Third Reading.

The $4,000 needed to complete the
work on Kaluanui beach road will be
available just as soon as the Mayor
afixes his signature to the resolution
and the legal requirements in regard to
publications have been complied with.
At last nights meeting the Board of
Supervisors passed the resolution, max
ing the appropriation, on third reading,
and thus disposed of the matter.
The post hole ordinance did not
make it's appearance. The legal FIVE pub
locations have not yet been made since
the amendment of the ordinance, so
the finishing touches must be delayed
for few days.
Payrolls for the road department,
both of the city and outside districts,
were passed, and other minor routine
business was transacted. There were
no ordinances up for consideration.

MANY CHANGES
ABOUT CAPITOL
Private Secretary C. Mcbride
Will Be a Stickler for the
Conventions.

So many changes are being made
around the territorial government
buildings that the kamaainas who have
been used to the old order almost need
guide to enable them to find their
way about.
The most radical changes are being
made in the offices of the Governor and
the Secretary. In the room that for
years has been occupied by the Chief
Clerk, Claudius Mcbride, the private
secretary of the Governor, has been
installed, and he has moved things
about so that the room looks entirely
different.s A fine new fat-top desk of
oak has been purchased and installed,
Mcbride has also moved in his type
writing desk, while the old roll-top
desk has been moved into the ante
chamber of the Secretary's office.
All the boys who have for SO long
been familiar figures in the Chief
Clerk s Office have followed the Seere-
tary into his Office, and great at
mosphere of calm and quiet pervades
the office of the private secretary. Lat
er on, after the Governor has started
to Washington, more radical changes
are to be made. As stated by the Ad-
vertiser some days ago, Secretary Mott
Smith and his force will move into
the Office now used by the Governor,
while the Governor will take the rooms
now used by the Secretary and his
staff The two big safes in Mcbride s
Office are to be moved into the Office
of the Secretary, as are also the many
racks and lockers. Mcbride figures on
having railing constructed in his Of
fee, behind which he and his official
staff will be eseonced. There may
even be a green carpet on the floor
like that laid in the Office Of the Mayor
of Honolulu. Much more ceremony is
to be observed than heretofore, for
Mcbride believes in having things
done with a proper respect for the
forms and conventions.
1t is rumored that Mcbride is con-
templating installing "whisper-
phone' to connect him with the Gov
ernor, so that he may at any time have
His Excellency's private ear without
being overheard by others who may
happen to be in the Office
Secretary Mott-Smith has Temporal
rily moved his desk into the little
corner room that was once Kalakaua IS
card room, while general rearrange-
ment of furniture in the big outer room
is being made to fit in with the other
changes.
As stated yesterday, the Land Of
fee has moved over into the Capitol
basement. The rooms in the Judiciary
building are to be cleaned up and will
probably be used by the Tax Depart
ment, which is at present very cramp-
ed. One of them is being used now
by the Registrar of Conveyances to
stow junk and old documents in. The
ancient and heavy safe that has for
long time been in the way in Regis
trar Merriam s Office has been moved
into the adjacent room to make space
for furniture more needed.

COOK s STORY
CANNOT Be
SHAKEN
Catch Questions Fail to
Catch the Pole
DiSCOverer.

NEW YORK, September 22.-Dr.
Frederick A. Cook, discoverer of the
Month Pole, gave today an interview
at his apartments at the Waldorf
Astoria to thirty-two newspapermen
which was pronounced the most re-
markable off-hand talk of the kind
ever given by public man.
DIR. Cook emerged triumphant. For
two hours DR.. Cook replied to every
question. Among his inquisitors were
men representing the publishers of
Peary's story of the discovery of
the pole. They were armed with catch
questions prepared by scientist rep
resenting the Peary int tests.
1t was the doubters, the questioners,
who quit. DR.. Cook stood the two
hour ordeal without one sign of weari-
ness or worry.
Laughs at Catch Question.
When the catch question was put to
DR.. Cook regarding what observations
he had made at the pole by the aid
of the "North STAR he fell back in
his chair and laughed as he responded:
Glow can the North Star be seen
when the sun is shining all the time9''
Among the new points made by DR..
Cook were the following:
His observations at the pole were
all by means of the suns altitude.
Harry Whitney has the sextant with
which these observations We're made.
DR.. Cook never knew Whitney until
the latter went out two miles on the
ice after DR.. Cook had been sighted by
the Eskimos and rescued DR.. Cook, who
had been without food for two days.
Danes in Greenland knew for three
months before the announcement to
the world that he had discovered the
pole.
No Quarrel With Peary.
DIR. Cook denied any previous quarrel
with Peary that might have led to the
present feud.
What were your reasons for asking
Whitney, Pritchard and possibly others
to maintain secrecy regarding your dis
eovery of the pole?'' was the first ques-
ton.
81 didn t think I was bound to let
Peary know anything" DR.. Cook re
Piled. ''He can give all of his news
L wished to give all of mine. :"
How about Pritchard's knowledge
of your discovery?'
81 was surprised that he knew. He
must have overheard me talking with
Whitney. Pritchard asked me to mail
letter for him. | asked to see the
letter When | found that he had said

Secretary or Iowa Col

Mt. Ayr, July 6.-Mrs. Adolph
Shane. who has been secretary IL
President A. B. Storms of the Iowa
college for over two years, has hand
ed in her resignation and will discon-
tinue Office work August l. Thus, the
magic silver key chain will become
the property Of another private secre-
tary. Miss Lillian Storms, daughter
Of the president, will succeed Mrs.
Shane in the Office work, and come
into possession of the large heavy
chain to which the secretaries attach
the office keys. The chain is large
one and is usually worn around the
waist. In fact, the chain is so very
large that it iingles. and its musical
notes have a great attraction for men.
Already seven men have become inter
ested in as many secretaries by means
of the jingles. The silver key chain
of the presidents office is becoming
a noted rival of Cupid.

Not a scrap of paper was left to

that physicians pronounce the most

FARMERS SECURE INJuNcTIoNs
Judge Clark Grants injunction Re
straining County OFFICERS From
II payipd nitcherS

Concord, Ia, July 6.-Judge Clark
granted an injunction restraining the
county officers of Hancock county
from paying the last twenty per cent
called for in the contract for ditch
work, to the contractors.
The work Of the contractors has
been approved by the proper authori-
ties of the county and as the farmers
objected to this on account of their
believing the work not to be up to
the standard called for in the con-
tract. They then brought the suit for
an injunction, in order to withhold
the last payment of twenty per cent
of the contract which was as yet un-
paid. The eighty per cent was paid
as per contract. Judge Clark decided
for the plaintiffs.
