SHOULD BATTERY
be IN CRATER?
Representative Young Believes
Better Site Might Have
Been Chosen.

Is the mauka outer slope of Diamond
Head the best strategic site for the big
mortar battery after all? This is a
question asked by several Congressman,
after visiting Battery Harlow, Fort
Ruger, Diamond Head, the other day.
They gained access to the crater
through a tunnel which pierces the rim
on the mauka side. Their criticism,
if criticism it can be called, was
echoed by an army officer, who is of
the opinion that the battery would be
better located if it were inside the
crater instead of out.
Representative DIN Young formed
this opinion of the desirability of the
inner part of the crater for the bat
terry site, and he asked Major Cree if
the inner side would not have been bet,
ter adapted to purposes of offensive
operations against hostile ships of war.
Major Cree was diplomatic in his re-
ply, and made it known that he had
nothing to do with the selection of
the site.
Representative Young, who is mem
Der of the Military Committee of the
House, is of the opinion that more bat
teries viii be located along the Oahu
coast, particularly at Barber's Point.
Leilehua he pronounces an ideal site
for cavalry post.

MRS. |. Won TEMPSKy
Of MAUI DIES SUDDENLY

News has been received by wireless
of the sudden death yesterday morning
of Mrs. Louis Won Tempsky at Maka-
wac, Maui.
The message contained no details and
the news came as a sudden shock to the
friends of Mrs. Won Tempsky here, as
she and two of her daughters were to
have visited in Honolulu this week.
News came Saturday that the visit
would have to be postponed owing TO
the illness of one of the daughters, but
there was no mention of the i'll health
of Mrs. Won Temsky.
Mrs. Won Tempsky was foremrly Miss
Amy Wodehouse of this city, eldest
daughter of Major Wodehouse, British
envoy to Hawaii under the monarchy.
To mourn her loss, she leaves her hus-
band, the manager of the Haleakala
ranch on Maui; three brothers, Ernest
Wodehouse of Davies & Co., Hay Wode-
house of the Humuula ranch on Ha-
wall, Guy Wodehouse, who is at present
in Chile, and four children, three daugh-
tiers and a son, the eldest of which is
fifteen years old and the youngest two
years.
Ernest Wodehouse will leave today
for Maui on the Mauna LOa.

QUEEN RECEIVES
IN REGAL STATE
Many Pay Respects to Last of
Hawaii's Reigning
Sovereigns.

Just as in the days of the monarchy,
ex-Queen Liliuokalani received in state
yesterday at Washington Place in cele-
bration of her seventy first birthday.
Thousands of visitors, haoles and Ha-
waiians, were presented to Her Ma
jesty and all gave her the homage due
her former rank. In receiving her
visitors, the Queen was assisted by
Prince and Princess Kalanianaole, and
Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, former Governor
of Oahu under the monarchy. Edward
Lilikalani ushered the guests into the
presence of the Queen, and George
Smithies presented them.
The Queen, attired in a handsome
holoku gown of brocaded mauve satin
with a yoke of Point d'Angleterre,
looked as truly royal as when she oc-
cupied the throne of Hawaii.
The Princess was regal looking in
a beautiful gown of white Chantilly
lace over rose colored satin.
From early morning until afternoon,
visitors thronged the grounds, and
passed into the reception room. The
early part of the day was devoted
largely to the reception of Hawaiians
and other intimate friends, while from
II to y the Queen received especially
in honor of the members of the Con-
gressional party. Up to noon Her Ma
jesty had shaken hands with over 1900
persons. She received standing and
gave no sign of fatigue.
The Congressman and haole visitors
were deeply moved at the devotion
shown by Hawaiians to their former
ruler. From the moment a Hawaiian
was ushered into the presence of the
Queen by Mr.. Lilikalani, the old court
rules prevailed. Approaching with head
bent and hand extended, the former
subject knelt to Her Majesty and i'm
printed kiss upon her extended hand.
When the Queen smiled, the former
subjects looked happy and then moved

MOTTO WANTED
BY COMMITTEE
Promotion Folk Offer Twenty
Five Dollars for a
Slogan.

Do you want to earn $25s If so, all
you have to do is think up a motto
which the Promotion Committee can
use in advertising. At yesterdays
meeting of the committee 1t was de-
cided to start contest, open to all, in
the hope of securing a phrase which
can be used as slogan in boosting
Hawaii. The contest will close on Jan
uary /.
There are no rules governing the con-
test. Any person may try for the $25,
and any may send as many notices as
he or she may desire. The only re-
qurement is that they be short and
pithy. There viii be no second prize,
as only one motto is wanted, but the
$25 that will be paid for that one
should be sufficient to encourage efforts.
Just as soon as the project was
preached yesterday, the members of the
committee began thinking up notices.
They will not be allowed to compete
for the prize, but they can do all the
thinking they like. 1t will be good
practise for them, for they viii have to
decide on the winner when the contest
closes The following are the contri-
buttons offered yesterday:

When the Lurline was beyond Dia-

Koko Head yesterday morning, she
stopped, turned about and came back
some distance toward Diamond Head,
and eventually made another turn and
started off for San Francisco.
A wireless message was sent back
from the steamer that two stowaways
had been found aboard, and the cap
tain decided he did not want them, and
therefore determined to put them back
on Oahu IS shore. A boat was lowered
and the two unlisted passengers were
beached.

SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE:
FOR TANTALUs HOTEL

Fl. w. Schmidt has written to the
Promotion Committee, making some
suggestions in regard to the Tantalus
hotel project. Mr.. Schmidt believes
that a building of forty rooms at least
should be erected, and that twenty
should be furnished while the other
twenty should be unfurnished. The lat
ter would be rented to Honolulu resi-
dents, DESTROYS of having some place
where the pleasures and benefits of

Schmidt also suggests a sanatorium,
similar to the mountain sanatoriums
of Europe, in connection with the

committee, suggesting Pacific Heights
as a suitable site for a hotel.

NOT AWARDED
Supervisors Open Bids for Road
Work, but Refer Them to
Committee.

At the meeting of the Board of Su-
pervisors last night the bids for the
construction of the Kaluanui road were
opened. but no award was made
The bids were: Picanco and Wood,
$11.585; Concrete Construction Com
pany, $12,4so; Henry De Fries and Al
bert Trask, $4,000; A. A. Wilson, $14,-
O00 The bids called for the compile
ton of the work in ninety days with
the exception of that of DeFries and
Trask who asked for l20 days.
After Aylett had made long state
ment which ended with request that
the Assistant City Attorney state
whether the board could award the
contract to the successful bidder or
not, Quinn moved that the bids be re-
ferred to the Roads Committee This
motion was passed and the successful
bidder will know that he has it when
Quinn, Kane and Aylett get through
with the talking over of the matter.
A Very Long Talk.
Aylett had long and very large
case of crouch last night. He wanted
Wilson to have as much extra money
as he cared to call for and spoke for
forty-fve minutes on the subject of
going over the roads and getting wet
when it rains. He thought it a shame
that he or anybody else should get
wet when not knowing enough to come
out of the rain. He explained with
large thumps on the table, which near
ly awoke the reporters from the deep
sleep into which they had fallen, that
roads should be made when the rain
is not falling SO that he could go and
inspect them without getting wet
The whole argument arose from
request from Road Supervisor Wilson
