| Washington, ID. c., Jan. %. 1909
EDITOR HAWAIIAN STAR - The
hearings on the Queens claim were
concluded on Thursday last the COM
mittee showing much interest in the
subject.
The Queen gave an interview to
press representatives on the 18th inst
and both that and the report of the
hearings have been widely commented
on by newspapers throughout the
country.
| Some of the newspaper accounts of
the hearings enormously credit Judge
Hatch as supporting the Queens con-
tention that the overthrow was brought
about by the aid of the United States
troops. Judge Hatch limited his
statement chiefly to the legal status
of the Crown lands and he disavowed
the conclusion stated in some of the
documents quoted from, that the sue
cess of the revolution was due to the
aid of United States officials and
troops.
On Wednesday last we were given
opportunity to be heard by the sub
committee on surveys, of the Rivers
and Harbors Committee. At that
time we presented the claims of Ka-
hului and Eleele harbors for surveys,
and gave statement as to their pre-
sent and prospective commerce and
shipping.
The official conclusions of the COM
mittee will not be made public for
some time yet, but l am very confident
Of securing an order for both these
surveys.
Through Senator Perkins, we have
secured an order for the publication
of Director Newell's report on Irriga
ton Possibilities in Hawaii. and it
VIII be issued as a public document.
On Friday Director Newell, my sec
rotary and I were heard by the House
committee on Irrigation on my bill to
extend the Reclamation Service to Ha
wall. On Saturday we were also heard
before the Senate Committee on Irrl-
cation on an identical Senate bill in
.troduced at our request by Senator
Perkins.
The fact that the proceeds of our
public lands do not go into the re-
clamation fund in the Federal Urea
sury is of course made an argument
against our receiving any of the bene-
hts of the Reclamation rund. Repre-
sentatives and Senators of the arid
states and territories are also incltn-
ed to discourage our participation In
the fund, because they are unable to
get all of their own reclamation pro-
lects cared for, Nevertheless there
was deep interest shown by both
the Senate and House committees. ana
II Is possible that we may secure fav-
orable action at this session.
The cabled resolution of the Homo
lulu mass meeting, favoring the enact
ment of my eoastwise bill, has been
received. 1t will be presented to Con-
eress and referred to the respective
committees of the House and Senate
1t is of course impossible to say
at this writing whether or not the
coastwise bill can again be gotten out
of committee and put through at this
session of Congress.
Further consideration of the Organ
&c Act and land law amendments by
the House Committee on Territories
has been crowded out by continuous
hearings on statehood bills for Ari-
IONA and New Mexico.
Very truly,
J. KALANIANAOLE,
Delegate to Congress.

that other automobiles had attempted
the trip and been towed out. He adds:
"There were miles where We had
to straddle first one track, then the
other, zigzagging back and forth from
one side to the other, over boulders,
tree stumps and logs"

today in the suit to dissolve thu
standard OIL Company. George l.
Wolff. Ba fillmore manager for the
Crewe Lev OK Company, said the ties
timony given yesterday by Bruce
Robinson, ~ Standard witness that
the Crewe-Levlck Company. had OF
fered cut prices to the Standards
customers, was false.
Mr.. Wclf asserted the cut was
made by the Eagle Oil Company. one
OF the concerns absorbed BY the
Standard.
The witness said Mr.. Blaustein
who operated the Eagle OIL Company
visited the Crewe-Levick COmpany's
customers and made proffers Of silk
dresses. electric fans and other pres
ents to the wives Of the oil dealers
| IL they would induce their husbands
! to buy oil OF the Eagle company.
Mr.. Wolf said an employee OF his
company. who was discharged car
ried away q lot OF books and data
from the Crewe-Leyick Company and
was employed by MIR. Blaustein.
Sailed Under False coIors.
This employee then secured a wag-

It in the colors usually employed by
the Crewe-Levick Company and 30
licited trade from his former custo-
mers, the witness said.
Referring to a pamphlet published
by his company, counsel for the
Standard asked whether or not the
Crewe-Lkvick Company owned certain
rich oilproducing lands its own
pipe lines and a number Of oil and
gasoline plants, as stated in the pam
phlet.
Mr.. Woin replied that while he had
no personal knowledge Of the Oil
lands or pipe lines. he could not say
that they did not exist.
Says He Beat Standard.
Mr.. Wolff told Of the tank wagon
drivers he had taken away from the
Standard company and Mr.. Blau-
STEMS Eagle Oh Company. each OF
whom had brought him quite a lot OF

i Woo held end me city vOuoo oSy.
The liquor people then contested
| the validity Of the election because
they claimed that the constitutions
| six months prepayment Of poll taxes
| applies to all elections-general,s pe'
cial and local option-and that, there
fore, the Legislature Is not competent
to prescribe different electorate
from that commanded by the Consti'
tuition, and that because the WARD
law did prescribe different electo'
rate for local option election such
law being in conflict with the Consti'
tuition, Is unconsti utional and void.
and that as the Fredericksburg cleo
ton was held under the Ward law
the elect On was void.
The attorney for the liquor people
based their argument upon section
Is of the schedule Of the Cons.itu-
ton, which is as follows:
I'm oil elections hold after this
Constitution gees into effect the quail
fication Of electors shall be those re-
quired by Article II. Of the const'
tuition"
The attorney for the drys replied
by insisting that the words "all cleo.
lions" in the schedule applied to all
election provided for by Article II. OF
the Constitution, and tat as Article
II, only applied to general elections
the schedule. which IL q sort OF post
script to the Constitu'icn proper, only
applied to general elections.
The Judge OF the Corporation Court
OF Fredericksburg adopted the view
presented by the contestants. and de-
ctared the election void.
II the Supreme Court sustains this
view Ct the Constitution a number OF
highly interesting and important con-
sequences follow:
% No elections can be held in
the first four months Of the year. be-
cause there would be no voters but
old soldiers. II vacancy occurs In
any ONCE in such months there
would be no one eligible to vote and
no one eligible to hold ONCE except
old soldiers. because section 80 OF the
provides that only quail
fed voters are eligible to once?
Lynchburg. Suffolk. New.
South Boston, Houston, Win
chester and Fredericksburg have
been controlled by voters disqualified
under the Constitution to vote.
(3) The act providing for the issu-
ing Of county bends for the perma-
nent road or bridge Improvements In
the magisterial districts Of the State
{ Acts 1908. page ~ would be void.
az The act authorizing schooi
boards to issue bonds for school pur-
poses ACTS 1908. page 103) would
be unconstitutional.
60 The act providing for submit
ting questions Of the removal Of court
houses (Acts 1908, page 594) is void.
All Of these acts provide an electo-
rate differing from the constitutional
electorate.
(0 A number Of bond issues by
districts, cities and towns
under general and special acts would
become questionable, because the au.
thcriz;ng elections were held under
laws.
1t y needless to say that the final
outcome Of the Fredericksburg case
will be awaited with much interest.
The motion for advancing the case on
the argument docket will be heard
next Tuesday, January 18th.

READINGS FROM
 SHAKESPEARE BY
 MISS MARY CANNEY
English Clubs Interesting Program For
 Tomorrow Evening.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, night at the High school hall. the English Club will give another evening of literary enter7 tain1nent in the popular course of lec- lures, which it has provided this sea- son. For several years this organiza- tion has been furnishing to the people of this city a most excellent series of lectures and readings. Some of the most noted lecturers and readers in the have appeared here under the auspices of this club
 Tomorrow evening. Miss Mary Can ney, of New York. will give readings from Shakespeare the play selected for interpretation by her on this occa- sion being "As You Like It. Miss Canney has had wide experience as a teacher of elocution. and as a lecturer and public reader. Her work has been largely in New York and Massachu- setts, where she has won distinction for her very artistic and finished read ings. Her interpretation of the Shakespearean play, on Tuesday even- ing, will undoubtedly prove one of the most entertaining and instructive of ferings presented to the people of Bridgeport by the English Club.
 Prof. Phelps of Yale will be the speaker tomorrow night.
