MAYOR MAY Do SOME
TRADING FOR SUPPORT

Mayor-elect Fern has not as yet talk
ed over the personnel of the Board Of
Supervisor committees with the Demo
cratic County Committee, according to
a statement made yesterday by Senator
Mccarthy, chairman of the committee.
As it is unlikely that the Mayor will
make any announcement of his choice
until after he has taken the County
committeeman into his confidence and
considered any suggestions they may
have to make, there viii probably be
no announcements of committees until
Monday, possibly not until the new
board eonvenes
There is a considerable curiosity as
to what Mr.. Fern win do in this choos
ing of standing committees and their
chairmen. It is rumored that the chair
manship of the committee on roads and
bridges, the committee on police and
one other important committee viii go
where they Will do the Mayor most
good and secure him the most support.
II is said that Chairman Hustace man
aged to beat out Cox for the presiding
chair in the present board through the
way he agreed to fill the committee
chairmanships and that Fern is quite
willing to follow the example. In this
event the Democratic member of the
board will have to forego any important
Craftsmanship for the sake of letting
his chief hand out the best sits for
the support he can gather thereby. The
names of the chairmen chosen or who
win probably be chosen, should there
be a chance TO do some dickering, are
not those of Quinn and Logan.

A sensational story was published in
the Star yesterday to the effect that
the Washington authorities had sent to
Hawaii, in company with Special
Agent Harr, Pinkerton detective. The
detective, according to the story, was
to look into the history of the ones in
stigating the Breckon $ investigation
while Harr was to investigate Brock.
ons. The Star located the Pinkerton
in their story and all but published an
interview with him.
The only fault that may be found
with this journalistic achievement is
that it could not possibly be so. There
is an act of Congress, passed few
years ago and still in force, which pro
hibits any Federal department from
employing a Pinkerton or any other
private detective. 1t may be possible

with which to secure the services of

MARINES MAY ENCAMP ON
PUNCHBOWL RESERVATION

1t is stated on unofficial authority
that a camp for marines will shortly
be built on the army reservation on
Punchbowl, probably on the fat on the
Makiki side of the dead crater. The
marines who viii shortly be on their
way to Honolulu on the cruiser Buffalo
viii go to Pearl Harbor, the matter
of preparing a camp for them on that
reservation being already under way,
and whether it will be a portion of
that force who will occupy the Punch
bowl camp or another force to arrived
later is not known. In connection with
the reported Punchbowl camp it will
be noted that if the report be confirm
ed and the marines located there there
win be men on every one of the various
reservatjons-Army and Naval-in and
around Honolulu.
Owing to the fact that the work at
Leilehua has no promise of perma-
nency. the effort to procure carpenters
and other skilled workmen by adyer-
tisement has not met with success.
Short jobs are not being sought for by
workmen who are at present employ
ed. Should the work require long
period, plenty of carpenters would be
glad to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to have their names placed on
Uncle Sam s payroll.
It IS not likely that work on the bar
racks for the garrisons Of the artillery

posts at Waikiki viii begin until after
the two great gun-stations are well
along toward completion. At present
some of the land desired by the War
Department has not been acquired
through condemnation proceedings and
the proposed barracks may have to be
built on it. Thus far no provision has
been made for barracks for the men
who will man the mortar batteries at
Diamond Head. Barracks, in time,
will have to be erected for coast ar
tlllerymen at Diamond Head, at Wal
kiki and at Pearl Harhor. Each gun
battery will require the services of a
large number of artillerymen There
IS some possibility of a central artil-
lery camp being established at Wal
XXI on the swamp ground, near the
present Engineer camp, from which
companies will be detached to man the
Diamond Head and Waikiki guns,
changing at stated intervals
The piles sunk at old Waikiki to
test the foundations for the gun-sta-
tons are sinking at the rate of about
an inch per day. The piles have been
driven to a depth of seventy feet and
are "eighed down by twenty tons or
sand on top Of each pile. The unlock
ed-for discoveries below the surface
will increase the cost very materially.
At first It was thought a coral ledge
was about FIVE feet below the surface
Drills went through this ledge, disclos-
ing water. Then the drills were sent
down to depth of thirty feet Twelve
feet lower there was no bottom. and
new methods for testing had to be
adopted, finally resulting in the use Of
the pile tests.

TWO KINDS OF MEN

"All men are created free and equal, {" says the Declaration of Independence, and we are taught that this is of universal apphcatioo. Po- litically, socially and industrially, we are given an even start Our endowment consists of life, liberty, and the privilege to pursue happiness. But that the race is freefor-all IS a rank fal- lacy The widest Utopian dreamer would be amazed at the transformation were this true; the change would so far surpass his fondest hopes. Socialism would be a mild demand in comparison. ......
 When we begin the battle with the world we1 are not equipped alike. One has ability in one line. one in another One man quickly finds his speciality, and shows aptitude at his vocation, while another with the same natural ability, or probably more gets on the wrong tack and makes d failure. This can be illustrated by case in mind
 Some years ago a number of college boys were engaged by Chicago publishing house to so- icit subscriptions for history of an Ohio county and get the biographical sketches of the prominent residents The chief work was to get the signatures of the subscribers for book to cost $15. This is a arge sum for thrifty farmer to pay, even when the book con- tains a sketch of himself.
 After four of five weeks of effort, with less than two dozen orders taken the Chicago house determined to investigate. The boys were as clever and bright as the average college youth, and they had followed instructions, but they had not made a success. The progress of the can vass had been too slow. So an office man was sent out to investigate. He got the boys to- gether and had heart-to-heart talk. Later he started out, taking them one by one with him. Where the boys had been getting one order in two days he took six, eight ten, or dozen in one day. After four or five days he returned to Chicago, leaving the boys to follow his sug- gestOns.
 | The work of some showed improvement of several hundred percent, while others did no better than before. The Chicago man was worth thousands of dollars a year to his company, while the boys who could not learn were, of course dropped. It was not question of edu- cation or knowledge; it was that knack or abil- ity which some inherit ar others cultivate. It was an excellent demonstration of the inequali- ties of those "created free and equal"

There is so little doing in political way that the territorial papers are scrapping in trying to place the credit for the recent visit to Arizona of President Taft.

TAKE MANY PRECAUTIONS
TO PROTECT THE CZAR

st. Petersburg.-Not in the history
Of Russian railways have greater pre-
cautions ever been observed to pro-
tect the imperial train than those
which have been perfected when the
czar started for Poltava to attend the
celebration beginning tomorrow OF
the 20Oth anniversary of the over
throw Of CharlesXII Of Sweden. The
preparations for the trip had been in
hand for weeks and the train had al
read been run over ever foot of the
route and every particle Of apparatus
of the train and the track had been
subject to the most careful inspec-
ton. Statiomasters, operators and
track inspectors at every station along
the route, no matter how small were
imperatively required to be on duty
several hours before the imperial
train was due, to examine personally
as 10 signals and switches, and to see
that all was in proper working order
As a further precaution against any
attempted outrage on the part Of the
terrorists the whole line of 1900 miles
railway between st. Petersburg and
Poltava was guarded by troops.

CALIFORNIA BLACKHANDERS
BURN CANNING PLANTS

Fresno, Cal.-That a regularly or
ganized band of blackmailers is .ope-
rating in this state, is the belief of
the authorities. The headquarters of
this organization is Fresno and on
one occasion at least its hand has
been felt in this city, when the big
plant of the California Fruit Gamers
association was destroyed by fire
some time ago. The subsequent burn
ing of the canning plant, owned by
the same corporation and located at
Milpitas, points to further activity on
the part of this society, which has by
some been compared with what is
known as the dreaded "Black Hand"
and in methods, at least, it is very
similar.
That the California Fruit Gamers
association, whose headquarters are
in San Francisco, is beginning to con-
slider it worth while to look seriously
into this matter, is shown by the send
ing tothis city of a secret agent,
who has come here to investigate just
where this animus against the cor
poration begins and where the initia-
tive ofthis destructive campaign is
taken.
For obvious reasons this man,
whose work is Of necessity of a secret
nature, does not care to have his
name appear in print, inasmuch as
this would to an extent at least, dc
away with his usefulness in work Of
this kind But he has communicated
with members Of the local police force
and secret investigation is now being
carried on in this city.
The feature Of the case is the re-
ceipt by President Fontana Of the
California Fruit Gamers association
at San Francisco Of threatening let
ters written in the regulation Black
Hand style, and demanding $1,000 on
penalty of destruction Of company's
! plants.
These letters are written in Italian
and are postmarllcd Fresno.
