HOTEL MEN ON RECORD.
FAVOR VOLCANO TRIP

Hotel men have sometimes been ac-
eused of discouraging visitors to visit
the volcano, to induce them to stay and
spend their money in town, says Hotel
Life, the newest Honolulu publication.
We, on the contrary, would say, that
Hawaii without Kilauea would be like
Hamlet, with Hamlet left out. But we
want our friends who come here to
know the truth about it. The steamers
are small, but comfortable; the trip az
rule is calm; the voyage is of less
than "a hours duration; the hotels are
unpretentious, but clean and the fare
is good and wholesome The land Jour
ney after reaching the Island of Hawaii
includes % miles by rail, and 9 miles
by stage, and the scenery is novel and
picturesque. The Mecca of the trip

There was no opposition when. the
name of w. o. Smith was proposed
for the presidency, the only comment
being one of regret that he could not

Senator Kalama was also nominated
without opposition.
There was some opposition to Will

qualifications were unquestioned. The

We're for Savidge, however, and he will
land the position.
T'sspositien of messenger goes to a

BOSTON, February 1.---Hawaii has
been brought forward prominently in
this section during the past month in
several different ways. Perhaps most
strikingly through the wide publicity
campaign Of the Hawaiian pineapple
growers. The page advertisements in
the current magazines have attracted a
great deal of attention and comments
are frequently heard on the streets and
in trains and cars Some Of the prom
inent restaurants are featuring Hawai-
ian pineapples and the patrons of others
are wondering why they are unable to
obtain them. One of the largest i'm.
porting houses here has been selling
Hawaiian pineapples under its own
brand for some time but otherwise the
fact that Hawaii could raise the luscious
fruit was hardly known TO the mass OF
people. The present campaign is big
publicity move for the islands as well
as the pineapple men and should be fol-
lowed up by further energetic work by
the Promotion Committee. Last week

PEARL HARBOR DEFENSE
GUNS HAVE ARRIVED HERE

Two of the finest 12-inch defense
guns manufactured by the United
States War Department reached Homo
lulu last night aboard the barge Mo-
hican, to be erected on the Pearl Har-
Dor Notifications, the first step in the
upbuilding of what is planned to be the
greatest naval station in the world.
The safe arrival of the two steel
monsters, after tempestuous voyage,
was source of relief to those aboard
the Mohiean, and particularly to J. w.
Bedford, the rigger sent down from San
Francisco to unload the guns and start
them on their way to Pearl Harbor Mr..
Bedford is a representative of Smith,
Rice & Co., riggers, of San Francisco.
Mr.. Bedford has a difficult job ahead
of him, but regards the work as capable
of being accomplished in about three
weeks.
Each gun weighs about 81 tons and
each is 50 feet long. Both are slowed
away between decks, and in order to
get them there all the 'midships deck
houses had to be removed and the deck
opened up so that there is hatch 40
feet long, giving FIVE feet freeway.
When loaded in at San Francisco by
the Union Iron Works, great care was
used to stow the guns so that even if
the vessel encountered stormy weather
they would be secure Chains running
through the deck and bolted held the
guns secure. Even during the terrific
storm which parted the Lurline from
the Mohiean the guns remained almost
immovable.
The task of getting the guns out of

the same morning that was taken to

was informed that he was not in. I
did not burn Chas. w. Booths house.
He never spoke to me about burning
his house. I did not take any oil up
to his house. I did not sprinkle any
oil on the walls. He never sent me any
money by my brother. I never went

the hold and upon the cars for shipment
to Pearl Harbor will be accomplished by
means of shear-legs, which were brought
down on the deck of the Mohican. The
legs are great Oregon pines, each 10
feet long and 40 inches at the butt
Two such untrimmed logs have never
before been seen here. They were lash
ed with great care for the trip and
never moved. Mr.. Bedford will erect
these timbers on one of the docks at the
Eva end of the harbor When the two
Pearl Harbor guns are safely slowed on
the ears, the shear-legs will remain
standing, for handling other big guns
that are to be brought here. All the
tackle and gear for elevating the great
timbers is aboard the barge.
The Mohican is now at the Matson
wharf, but today or tomorrow she will
be shifted over to the railroad wharf,
and the shear-legs will be taken ashore.
In order to elevate them it is possible
that locomotives may be used to furnish
power. When the shear-legs are up and
the work of taking out the guns is COM
menced, locomotives may be used again.
The entire work may take about
three weeks. The timbers are capable
of lifting 100 tons. and each gun weighs
but 81 tons there is no likelihood of a
mishap. Mr.. Bedford is an old hand
at the work Of lifting heavy objects.
He stated last night that the movement
of the guns would be accomplished safe
~. The breech blocks for the guns are
aboard the Mohican, but the mountings
etc., are on the Hilonian, due tomor-
row morning from San Francisco.

IMPROVEMENTS GOING
ON IN MlnOA VALLEY

County surveyors have been at work
for several weeks running lines for the
new upper and lower Manoa roads pass
ing the Montana gore and leading into
the upper end of the valley. The lower
road is to be fifty feet wide and will
take in quite strip of land of the
College Hills tract. The upper road, as
proposed and surveyed, will be consid-
erably wider than the present one and
some of the property lines will have
to be set back.
There is considerable building going
on in the valley. Among the houses
lately completed are two on Kamehame-
ha avenue, one occupied by W. L.
Schmidt. Another new one is occupied

AFFAIRS
Cuts in Police Pay Add
Another Kink to
the Mess.

Honolulu's city government kinkea
again yesterday, and the mess being
submitted to the crucible process of
the courts had another ingredient add
ed. This time it is the police execu-
tive which has bumped up against the
police committee of the Supervisorial
Board, and, as usual, both sides claim
to be absolutely right and claim the
other side to be absolutely wrong.
Neither side has the slightest doubt
of the wisdom and legality of the
course pursued by it which has eli
NAKED in the refusal of some of the
police to accept pay warrants offered
them at discount and has led the
City Treasurer to refuse to pay those
that were accepted.
As was noted last week, at the last
meeting of the Supervisors, Supervisor
Quinn announced that the pay of some
members of the police force had been
cut. The police were so busy on their
duties, however, that they didn It know
they were being locked until they
lined up for their salary warrants
Some didr t even find out then, and
received the blow in the office of the
Treasurer, when the warrants were
presented for the cash. At least, so
say the police. The police committee,
on the other hand, state that the
Sheriff was told weeks ago that the
pay of some of the officers, which had
been advanced, was to be cut, and
that it was his duty to notify the
officers and not wait for them to find
it out for themselves on payday. The
committee understood that Jarrett I'M
derstood, hence the misunderstanding
all around.
The new muss appears to be gen
eral carrying out of the policy of the
Democrats to ignore the committees Of
the board named by the board and the
policy of the committees so named to
set salaries and wages in committee.
1t is the same fight as that carried
on between the Republican majority
of the board and the Mayor. although
along little different line.
Cox, Quinn and AHA, the police com,
mittee, put the matter of lowering ex-
penses in the police department up to
Jarrett, so they claim. They put the
figures for the various offices back to
those in force during Iaukea's time,
| telling the new Sheriff that Iaukea
had had good men at that price and
| he was expected to have the same.
Jarrett apparently agreed, although
protesting. Then he prepared pay

Swears That He Committed Perjury Under

My name is David Kalama Kaaumo-
ana. I am twenty four years old 1
was born in Pauoa, Honolulu, and have
lived there ever since my birth.
Within the month last past, I was
taken to the station house in Homo
lulu, and made statement to which I
subsequently made oath. When Chas
F. Chillingworth first asked me about
the burning of the house of Chas. w.
Booth on Pacific Heights, some years
ago, I told him that T knew nothing
about it, Then he took law book and
read the law to me, saying that I
would be charged with arson in the
first degree and that I would be hang
ed or put in prison for life if I did
not tell all about it. I did not say
anything, but he kept on trying TO
brighten me, and said that he would
put me in Jail right then if I did not
confess. I was sick. I asked him
what he wanted me to say. He said
TYou do as you think. - AS I did
not know anything about it, I felt that
if I was going to tell lie against
Mr.. Booth I would be in trouble for
it, He said he would look after me and
get me out of trouble. I then told him
as David Manuel had instructed ane to
say, and then I gave him the state
ments that ! made in the affidavit /
then said that David and did burn
the house. I told him that / went
down TO David Manuel's house and
told David to help me burn Mr.. Booth s
house. They asked me if Booth had
given me any money, and / said,
emo Booth had not given me any
money, but I said as David instruct
ed me to say. that is, that Mr.. Booth
sent my brother out to give me money.
I did not know the amount to say, but
I said s25. They asked me if Mr..
Booth had ever talked to me about the
matter, and. according to what David
Manuel had told me to say, [ said yes,
Booth had met me at the Heights. 1
told them that Booth had told me to
set the house on fire. I said that
Booth had talked to me about week
before the fire. He told me to 60 and
fix the windows, and about two days
afterwards I went up there. / saw the
old man who lived there most of the
time. I worked on the windows, but
not all day. I put in some shelves,
which took me about three days. /

before the fire. I told them that we

0NE OF DELEGATES WHO
CALLED ON LINCOLN

tSay,' said that venerable kamaa-
ina, DIR. C. t. Rodgers, 81 read those
extracts in the Advertiser from a new
book on Lincoln and I disagree with
one of the stories told The author
says that a delegation of New York
Aston House shortly before he ran for
the Presidency and that his clothes
looked so badly in contrast with their
fashionable attire that he felt awkward
and apologized What I want to say
is that it ain It So"
GLOW do you know?" asked an in
terested reporter.
81 was one of the delegation was
DR.. Rodgers surprising answer. We
wore the everyday clothes of young
business men and there was no oeca-
sion for Lincoln to apologize for his. ,"
Continuing, DR.. Rodgers said that,
when the New Workers entered Mr..
Lincoln was sitting on the edge of his
bed with reporter, going over the
manuscript of his Cooper Institute
speech. "He began to rise said the
Doctor" and kept unteleseoping himself,
length by length, until had lost track
of him. He was about the tallest man
I ever saw when he extended himself
to his full height"
