sented by Attorneys Samuel Shortridge

"a continuance of two weeks, stating
that tlTe new counsel wanted time ssto

of the case and to prepare motion
for new trial.
Assistant District Attorney SFerrari

WANTS INSECT
EATING BIRDS

d. L. Van Dine of the United States
Experiment Station departed on the
transport Sheridan on long leave of
absence, to be spent mainly in the
Eastern States.
While he is on leave to attend pri-
vate business yet he will attend to
several matters of public interest here.
One of these will be an investigation
of varieties of insect-eating birds which
may be introduced to experiment with.
The introduction of such birds cannot
be made here, however, until an aviary
is built. The latter is being planned
by w. Alanson Bryan.
Another matter will he to ascertain
the market for Hawaiian honey. Mr.
Van Dine has taken special interest
in bee culture in the islands and will
see where the product can best be mar
keted. He win try to secure an ap
preparation to carry on silk culture ex
periments in the islands.
Now that the American Association
for the Advancement of Science has
decided to hold its next conference in
| Honolulu in the summer of 1910, Mr.
Van Dine will be active in working
up interest in the excursion.

CHEMICAL FIRE
CARTS ARE HERE

A Simply.constructe chemical fire
cart easily handled by two men. is on
exhibition in lower Fort street win
dow. This is the second one brought
here by A. j. Gilman, the first having
been sold to an outlying town for fire
protection. The chemical consists of
large tank swung horizontally between
two wheels. There is pair of shafts
similar to those attached to a jinricksha
and so designed that over a good road
one man can draw it, otherwise two.
When at rest the machine is tilted
up so that the tank is in vertical
position. A footrest holds it in place.
The lowering of the cart to horizontal
position prepares the chemicals for ac-
tion and everything is ready when the
hose is opened up on blaze
Mr.. Gilman says that the machine is
designed for suburban districts far
away from regular fire headquarters,
and he suggests that the Improvement
| clubs in Manoa, Waikiki, Kalihi and
Npuanu shonld acquire them.

his appointees, then, he had discharged
his duty under the law, requiring him
to make all his first appointments dur
ing the. month of December last.
If he had put Democrats and his own
following In all the important Offices,
he would be doing little more than the
Republican administration had been do
ing right along of which policy he, him
self, had been the victim in the late
Board of Supervisors. In the face of
such conservative and fair action in
vital matters, it seems hardly the thing
to raise a cry of Incompetence and stu
pidisy at once against the Mayor, be-
cause lie held back and was non-eom-
initial, confronted suddenly, as he was,
by n radical attempt to deprive him
of the appointing and executive power
that all understood was the vital fea-
ture of this municipal act.
Still more inappropriate, it seems to
me, is your contention from the events
of yesterday that the native electorate
is unfit for local self-government. The
native vote has its good and its bad
points. rs is after all very conserva-
tive vote-one that has no wish or
desire to declare war upon vested in
terests or property rights. 1t is vote
that has little sympathy with feder-
ated or united action of labor. II is
vote, after all, whose shortcomings
are as child's play compared with the
vote of classes holding the same rela-
tive position in other countries or, on
the mainland of the United States. It's
chief fault lies in the fact that it is
a controlling race vote a dangerous
thing for the natives as well as for
others. 1t has used that race vote with
very little detriment to the body pol
itic = probably more conservatively
than the white race would have used
that same power if in it's hands. The
controlling feature of the native vote
will not however last very much longer.
Put 5000 American voters into Hawaii
representing the ideas of organized la
Dor and 10000 to $4,000 European fam
lilies here and this same native vote
will become n perfect Godsend to those
who too readily carp at it and criticize
it now.
Between municipal government under
the leadership and control of Mr. Quinn
and municipal government under the
leadership and control of Mr.. Fern,
there may well be very considerable
support drawn to Mayor Fern and to
the maintenance, of his executive and
appointing powers and this I say with
out personal disparagement of Mr..
Quinn. Yours truly.

.HEADLESS BODY
FOUND ON LAVA

Headless, and with her left arm hack
ed off close to the shoulder, what was
left of the body of Porto Rican wo-
man was found on the lava between
Kau, and Kona ON Hawaii short time
ago, according to report brought here
by Chief Clerk Lloyd Conkling yes
terday.
A blood stained cane knife was found
near the corpse by the three Hawai-
ian boys who discovered the dismem-
bered body. The boys did not move
the body, but started off Immediately
for town where they communicated
with the authorities. A policeman took
them in charge and, with .he native
boys acting as guides, started for the
scene of what apparently will prove
to be a most brutal murder.
The policeman had not returned be-
fore Conkling left Kona, and conse-
quently the latter knows nothing fur
ther about the matter. The place where
the boys stated they found the body
is the most recent lava flow on Ha-
waii. This flow occurred in 1906.

Mr.. Kinney for Mayor Fern


Editor Advertiser: 1t seems to me
you are rather hard on Mayor Fern,
particularly in making him your text
to prove the low status of the electorate
of Hawaii and the failure of local self
government. Mayor Fern s two chief
acts have thus far been the selection
of appointees to take office under the
Municipal Act and the naming of com
mittees on the Board of Supervisors
While it is true he has named appointees
for many subordinate and minor of
fees, where there is doubt that these
appointments a-e to be made by him,
yet the fact remains that he has con-
t.uued in office for leading and respon.
sible positions most of the present in
cumbents. The Fire Department, the
County Engineers office, the Electric
Works and the Fire and Police Alarm
System are left in the hands of old
appontees, everyone of whom, under
stand are Republicans.
The committees the Mayor had pre-.
pared to appoint in the Board of Su-
pervisors give but one craftsmanship to
Mcclellan, the Democratic member, and
the selections otherwise certainly seem
as good as the selections made by the
Supervisors themselves. In the latter
selections Mcclellan is given no chair
manship at all, but occupies subordi-
nate position on committee of minor
Importance.
In this connection, it should be re-
membered that although majority of
the old Board of Supervisors were
nominated by Democrats, Mr.. Archer
and Kealoha were pursuaded to aban-
don Democratic affiliations after elec-
tion through Republican influence, and
Fern and Harvey, the two straight
Democrats, were neither of them given
craftsmanship of any committee, but
have served their entire term in sub
ordinate positions.
1t should be remembered also that
when Fern continued in Office the head
of TIE Fire Department, Electric Works,
etc, it was considered beyond ques-
zion that those offices at least were
within the appointing power of the
Mayor, and his action in the premises
was direct application of business
principles in the running of his office,
although he had received little or no
support in his candidacy from the bust
ness interests, who are so vitality inter
ested in eliminating politics as far as
possible from the business departments
of the County government. He went
on to name many subordinates, but it
was well understood by him and all
concerned that it was toss-up whether
many of these appointments came with
in his duties or not. If not, no harm
was done and if they were held to be

GEN. WESTON SAYS
LE|LEHUA IS IDEAL

uLeilehua is a fine site in beau
tiful country and il Is an ideal loca-
ton for a great army post which L
understand IL TO be built there. ~
Major General Weston, United States
Army, made this statement aboard the
transport Sheridan as the transport
was about to leave for San Francisco
last evening The General had spent
most of the day at Fort Shafter and
Leilehua as the guest of Major Foster,
Major Dunning and Captain Castner.
They went to Leilehua by auto and
the General critically inspected the res
ervation. He was greatly impressed
with it. As he will in a measure be
interested in the development of the
Army post there, as commander OF the
military department of California, it
is good thing that he is satisfied.
In the last few days about 25O Ha-
waiians and japanese laborers have
gone to Leilehua to rush the compile
ton of the cavalry cantonment. Some
of the troopers who are to man it left
San Francisco yesterday on the trans
port Thomas and will be here about
January -, so that the cantonment
must be completed in haste.
Over 100000 feet of lumber arrived
from Seattle on the American-Hawai
ian freighter Alaskan last week, but
so far only about 10000 feet have
been gotten out and shipped up to Lei
lehua. This lumber was slowed away
underneath lumber consigned to othe'
parties. 1t will be rushed to Leilehuf
as fast as discharged. Captain Cast
ner, constructing quartermaster, il
charge of the building of the canton
ment, expects to have the camp com
pleted by the time the troopers an'
horses arrive.

Minutes Objected To.

The row started Immediately after
the minutes had been read. The clerk
had incorporated everything that had
been done on Monday, including the
business prior to the official calling of
the meeting. Mayor Fern stated that
he would put no motion to adopt the
minutes as they were wrong. He stated
that he wished to secure advice from
the County Attorney on this point and
asked that the adoption of the minutes
be not pressed until he had done so.
Supervisor Mcclellan sustained him,
hut the majority demanded the ques.
tion. The Mayor asked for a suspen'
sion Of the adoption as a matter of
courtesy.
"We do not want to appear dis.

ber of the board is satisfied with the

Fern put the motion, which carried

Mayor Fern beat everyone to the
floor as soon as this vote was taken
and proceeded to announce the names
of the standing committees selected by
him, stating that he did so under the
advice that the rules of the former
Board of Supervisors were still In force.
Cox interrupted to tell the Mayor that
he was out of order.
