Cedar and adjoining townships of this

If these figures are correct 1t will be

than he gave for it. That sounds like

CANNON AND ALpRIch.


The washington correspondent of
the Register and Leader gives us
the intelligence that thirty-one
states have declared for a national
constitutional convention. "Under
these circumstances, says the cor
respondent, the matter is certain to
be brought up in congress next win
ter. But says the correspondent,
going further into the matter, at is
asserted that Speaker Cannon and
senator Aldrich intend to do their
utmost to prevent any action by con-
gress, and they will seek to ignore the
action of the legislatures" The
showing thus made of the malignity of
these gentlemen prompts the vinton
Eagle to say with fine irony:
Did you ever see two such men?
Every good thing seems to be ignor-
ed by them. Every day the aforesaid
correspondent is compelled to tell his
readers OF some deep seated scheme
these two men are about to perpetrate
on the American people. We do not
see how they can be so bad. 1t would
look as though once in while they
would let the people do something
they wished to do. No, they won't
do it. They stand right there and pre-
vent every good piece of legislation
from being enacted, and yet there
seems to have been more needed leg
islation enacted in the past three or
four years than there has been for a
long while. 1t must be that congress
catches these two wiley foxes asleep
part of the time and then passes the
legislation. Some day these men will
die off and then there will be some
necessary laws passed"

A murderous assault was made late
yesterday afternoon upon Mrs. Isoi, of
Iwilei fame, by one Morimoto, the
story in the Advertiser on Saturday
that it was through inadvertent state
ment made by the woman that the
present investigation of the Twelve
Dollar Club was started, being the
cause for the assault.
Mrs. Isoi sought United States Dis
trict Attorney Breckons as SOON as she
was able to recover sufficiently from
the beating she had received, and told
the story of the assault. The District
Attorney at once got into communiea-
ton with United States Marshal Hen
dry. and that official went to the po-
lice station, where he obtained the
services of two special officers. With
these he went in search of Mrs. Isoi s
assailant, and by $50 he was placed
in a cell at the police station as pris-
oner accredited to Marshal Hendry.
He is held for investigation. Chief of
Detectives KaIakiela, although his men
made the arrest, states that he knows
nothing of the case and appears not to
care if he never does.
When Mrs. Isoi presented herself be-
fore District Attorney Breckons she
was a much disheveled woman, with

FIRE ON THE RECLAMATION
STOPPED A BASEBALL GAME


Fire on the top of the dredger Reela-
nation yesterday afternoon not only
called out the fire department but near
ly everybody in Palama. The blaze
was seen by those at the ball game
being played in Aala Park and fer a
short time interest in the game lapsed
for the newer excitement.
The Reclamation had been placed in
the Railroad wharf slip preparatory to
doing some dredging there last night,
when persons on the steamer Alaskan
and on the wharf were astonished at a
cloud of smoke which suddenly swirled
up from the roof of the dredger. A
i've was noticed to be creeping along
the roof and an alarm was sent in
from box A.. The dredger crew, how
ever, took hold of the situation at once
and IN a short time had the fire under
control. A portion of the roof was
Fharred badly but the damage is nomi-
nal. Sparks from the donkey-engine

of excelsior lying on the roof was the
cause of the blaze.
The Reclamation is engaged in dredg-
ing out the entire RAILROAD wharf slip
Harbor muck and scourings brought to
the harbor by the Nuuanu stream have
caused the slip to fill up and the deep
ly laden vessels constantly making use
of it have been too close to the bottom.
The Reclamation will be one of the
dredgers used by the Hawaiian Dredg-
ing Company in dredging the channel
and harbor at Pearl Harbor.
For the first time, for a day alarm,
since the new fire alarm box number
cards were issued recently the fire
whistle sounded twice when the fire
was out. Under the old system one
whistle announced the finish to a blaze
and the two whistles which announced
that yesterdays fire was under con-
troll excited attention, number of peo-
pie calling up the Advertiser Office to
find out what it was all about.

WOULD HAVE TRANSPORTS
COME TWO AT A TIME

Army and Navy Journal In his
annual report the Quartermaster Gen
Aeral of the Army says: '.The owned
transport vessels now operated by this
department. are sufficient for the needs
of the service under existing condi-
tions, but some of them are approach
ing the age when it will no longer be
economical to keep them in that de-
gree of seaworthiness which is an i'm
perative requisite to safeguarding the
lives of their multitude of passengers.
The loss at sea of .roop-laden
transport would be calamity too ter
rible to contemplate with equanimi-
ty.' In view of this statement the
suggestion made by one of our CORE
spondents, an officer of large expert
ence, is of immediate and pressing i'm
portance. Our correspondent says:
transports going to Manila from San
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-01-04

Francisco should go in pairs, or better
have them go over the path followed
by the liners. This would remove the
present danger to some extent of loss
of all hands, in case of accident, such
as running on uncharted reefs, uncon-
troilable leak from a strain, in ty-
phoon /swamping, disabling Of lnachin-
cry, etc., etc. There would be some
show for human beings in case one of
these unfortunate things should occur;
and our transports are getting little
worn and old now. If anything hap
pens to one transport, and she has a
consort, relief could be rendered
promptly and the boats and life RATS
OF both transports could be put to use
in transferring human souls, as a con-
sort is supposed to be nearby. IF the
transports go on the path of the lin
ers there is a good chance of getting
