SUGGEST PERMANENT
OBSERVATORY HERE

Errors having erept into the publish
ed accounts IN the afternoon papers of
the desire of the members of the AS
Economical and Astrophysical Society
Of America to establish a temporary
observatory III Hawaii for the observa-
tion Of the Haley comet and possibly
a permanent observatory. the letter
received by Professor Alexander from
the chairman of the society committee
is here given. 1t is self explanatory.
Chairman Comstock writes:
son behalf of the committee on
comets, | desire to call to your at.
tention the desirability of securing
photographs of Halley's comet, to be
taken during the first half of the year
1910, at some station in the Hawaiian
Islands. At the time of its maximum
brilliancy the comet will be so nearly
in line toward the sun that photo
graphs can be secured only about the
times of sunrise or sunset, and, in or
der to secure an approximately con-
tinuous record of its phenomena, provi-
sion must be made for a series of OBJ
serving stations completely girdIing
the earth in longitude. Existing obser-
vatories viii in great part suffice for
this purpose, but the broad gap pre-
scented by the Pacific Ocean must be
filed in some way. This committee
hopes to send out for this purpose a
small expedition, and bespeaks for it
your cooperation and that of your fell
low islanders.
"We also desire to raise with you
the question whether the peculiar cir
eumstances presented by the return of
Halley's comet, the worldwide cooper
alton of astronomers in its observation,
coupled with anOinvitation to Hawaii
to take part in this work, may not
serve as an incentive and a basis for
securing from your wealthy citizens
funds for the provision OF instruments
and apparatus that might ultimately
develop into a permanent observatory
worthy of the favorable situation
which Hawaii presents.
"The society and its committee will
be pleased to cooperate with you both
for its immediate purpose and for the
larger ends above suggested.
Awaiting such suggestions as you
may wish to make, I am in behalf of
the committee,
GEORGE c. COMsTOCK,
"Chairman.'

JAPANESE PRINCE
HUSTLED BY MOB

NEW YORK, September 25.-Had
the rough treatment which Prince
Kuni of Japan received here today
taken place on the Pacific Coast, it
would be described as another evidence
of unreasonable dislike for the Japa
nese and be made an international
matter.
A personal apology by Governor
Hughes to the Japanese Prince for his
unceremonious handling by the crowd
sufficed for New York, the Japanese
regarding this city as friendly to them.
Prince Kuni was among the official
guests on the reviewing stand at the
Hudson Fulton naval parade this after
noon. A dense crowd of spectators
nassed back of the reviewing stand,
between it and the spot where the au
tomobiIes of those on the stand were
waiting. Prince Kuni, with his bril-
liantly uniformed staff, was among the
first who started for home, and the
police were inadequate to open free
passageway for them through the
crowd. The japanese visitors were
swallowed up in the throng.
A larger detail or ponce was sent TO
rescue them. A stalwart bluecoat
reached the Prince and lifted him clear
over wire fence against which the
crowd was pressing him. The Prince s
hat was lost, button torn from his
.oat and his attire otherwise disar-
ranged.
Governor Hughes, who viewed the
scene with dismay and anger, got
through the crowd with sufficient
police escort and, hat in hand, went to
Prince Kuni IS automobile and rendered
him an apology. Kuni laughed the
matter off as an unavoidable incident.
Admiral Won Rooster of the German
Navy and other prominent men, were
also buffeted and unpleasantly handled
when getting away.

FLEET INFORMATION,
TROUBLE FOR GUEST

There was a report current yester-
day that Electrician Ozro B. Guest,
U. s. Navy, the wireless operator at
the naval station suspected of having
given out information which published
the first news in connection with the
recent speed trials of the armored
cruisers off Maui, has been relieved from
his duties in Connection with the wire
less station and has been ordered to
confne himself to the confines of the
naval station for three months.
When seen yesterday afternoon by
an Advertiser reporter, Captain Corwin
2. Rees. cOmmandant of the station.
said that he was not at liberty to make
public any of the particulars regarding
the investigation, it being a govern.
ment matter. However, he did vouch-
safe the information that 40 final deei.
sion had been arrived at in the matter.
Captain Rees was very courteous but
said that the affair was something
which he could not discuss.

the supervisors, and consequently did
not consider himself well enough post
ed to vote.
After the conference yesterday
morning, Quinn announced that he in
tended drawing up a report, recon-
mending that the demand of the tele-
phone people for exemption from in
spection fees during the whole twenty
seven years that their charter yet has
to run, be granted. Aylett fought to
be last, demanding that some fee be
charged for all inspections after the
first year. He was willing to cut the
fee down from the standard fifty cents,
but he wanted some charge made.
Attorney Lewis, on behalf of the
telephone company, insisted that all
fees must be waived. Quinn favored
giving in to the company. Aylett said
no. But just the same Aylett signed
the report when it came to show

The momentous question as to the

old company and the Territory. where
by the county secured the right to

telephone company, has not been set

COMPROMISED
Continued From Page One.)
The Report.

Your committee on roads, bridges,
garbage, parks and public improve
ments to which was referred the COM
munication from the telephone compa-
ny, relative to laying underground of
ne police and fire alarm wires, would
beg leave to report that after thor
oughly investigating same, it would
recommend that the proposition of the
telephone company be accepted and
that the said company build duct for
the city and county fire alarm and
police system, the company to receive
fifteen cents per foot for said duct,
and that the said company maintain
the said duet free of charge during
the life of its charter.
We would also recommend that in
laying the wires of said company I'M
derground, or moving poles, or digging
up the street in any way, that the com
pany apply for a permit, the said work
to be inspected the same as any other
corporation or private individual, but
no charges to be made for said inspec-
ton to the telephone company, the
consideration being that the city and
county gets the duet for fifteen cents
a foot, which if the city and county
were to build the same, it would cost
at least fifty cents per foot.
We would also recommend that an
agreement on these lines be entered
into with the telephone company at an
early date.
Very respectfully submitted,

Mayor Opposes Compromise.

When the report was presented at
last night IS meeting the fight started.
Aylett, though he had held out for
some sort of fee in committee, stood
by his guns in support Of the report
and he met every attack from the op-
position with cheerful glee. Mayor
Fern, who has been inimical to the
telephone people from the start, fought
against the granting of the desired
exemption, and he was supported by his
lone henehman on the board, Super
visor Mcclellan.
Logan was firm in support of the
report. Kane asked to be excused. Cox
was absent, so it was Immediately seen
that the report was sure to be adopted.

would never be broken, the supervisors

charge of completely in any scheme to

every endeavor to supply Honolulu
with modern and sufficient telephone
service.

All Parties Satisfied.

The most rabid supporters of county
government are satisfied. for the tele-
phone company has conceded the right
of the county to inspect the excavation
work and to require that the streets
and roads be repaired in good shape
after the setting of the poles and the
laying of the conduit.
The county is assured of improved
police and fire alarm service for the
cables will be run through eonduits in
the same manner as is done in the
biggest cities of the mainland. and
there will be no danger of falling trees
disarranging the service. The county
will secure its conduit at a price far
below what it would cost to install it,

The report was drawn by Chairman
Quinn, and contrary to general ex-
peetation, was signed by Supervisor
Aylett. Right through the conferences
Aylett was the leader of the opposi-
ton, but he was evidently trying sim
ply TO get the most that he could for
the county, for when it became ques-
ton of signing the report or running
the risk of tying the telephone extern
sion work up indefinitely, he signed.
Supervisor Kane did not sign the re-
port. and later when the matter came
to a vote, asked to be excused from
voting. He was not present at the last
conference, held yesterday morning
between the attorney of the telephone
company and the road committee of
