That the dry dock to be built at
Pearl Harbor will be longer than 600
feet, as is contemplated under the
present plans, is the opinion express
ed by President S. G.. Hindes of the
San Francisco Bridge Company, who
arrived last night by the Hilonian.
The contract for the work has not
yet been signed by the company
though this will be done in few days
and Mr. Hindes came down to look
over the conditions personally before
the work was started In speaking
of the work he said:
"There were several different items
in the specifications. on which we bid
First there was a bid on the dock

for $1,760,000 Then a bid on the dock
IL piling should be necessary in the
opinion of the naval engineers after
the excavations had shown then what

For this we bid S1,723, 900. In addi-
tion TO this last figure we bid 54 cents
per foot on the piling, which will
bring the total up to a little more
than if piles should not be used.
Another item in the bid, and a
very important one, calls for the ex-
tension of the dock toward the land

be several houses to let in the vicinity
of the Japanese beehive.
1t is impossible to get any sleep
with a hundred Japanese men, women
and children occupying about five
rooms downstairs in the Magoon block,
that is it is impossible for Mrs Gibson
and her son to get any sleep, for a
military guard is maintained at the
camp all night long. The Japanese
seem to be afraid OF attack or some
thing of the kind, for they have estab-
lished a night patrol, men who march
around the house all night with Ian
terms, as if on guard against an ex-
pected foe.
Then the dozen or more children
take turns crying the night through
and there are strike meetings among
the men.
More serious than all this Is the
sanitary or insanitary state the low
er floor of the house is assuming.
The plumbing arrangements are not
meant to accommodate any hundred

ly an average living room is not de-
signed for the accommodation of twen-
ty persons. The upstairs people, OF
course, get the full benefit of odors
that arise from downstairs.

Gibson today, "for l see no chance Of
getting the landlord to order the Jap
anese out"
The Gibsons, therefore, will vacate,
and the house in which they so long
lived and paid rent will, IL the Jap
anese are allowed 10 remain, become
an ordinary tenement.

BELLBOY'S
ROMANCE
SEEKS EDUCATION WITH $4,000
GIVEN HIM BY LATE INVALID
FRIEND

Namias, the Los Angeles hotel bell
boy to whom the rich invalid and New
York broker, Starr Hoyt Nichols, took
fancy and who was given four thou
sand dollars by that gentleman short
ly before he died in the Hawaiian hotel,
this city, has elected to devote his
small fortune to his own education, be-
lievlng that he can in no better way
snow his appreciation of mis- friend s
gift than to endeavor to improve him
self as a member of society
Namias came here a mere boy, as
nurse to Nichols, but the sorrow in the
death of his aged friend and the fact
that he then found himself 50 far from
home without acquaintance, taught
him a few things and then, again, he
found a careful adviser in Attorney
A. l.. c. Atkinson who had been given
charge of Mr. Nichols affairs.
Namtas eheered up somewhat by
taking a trip to the volcano and send
ing picture postals of the fiery pit to
whomever he knew. This was his
sole extravaganza, if it could be called
such, and the rest of his four thousand
dollars he will devote to improving
himself. He will go to New York and
enter school

A Japanese strikers stronghold
where nearly a hundred men, women
and children are camping, has been
established in the Trousseau mansion
on Punchbowl street, near the Queens
hospital, and neighbors and particu-
larly a family occupying the upper
floor of the big house are loud in their
protestations and complaints to j. A.
Magoon who is the landlord.
For four years Ernest Gibson, a
clerk in the drygoods department of
H. Hackfeld & Co., has lived with his
mother in the upper story of the house
referred to and until recently they
were not bothered by Objectionable
neighbors downstairs.
A few days ago two families moved
out from the lower floor and, before
the Gibson, mother ana son, could
know who were coming, ninety or a
hundred japanese strikers took pos
session of the lower regions.
Young Mr., Gibson telephoned the
Office of Attorney Magoon 80 protest
against any such deal, but what he
got back over the telephone, according
to the statement made this morning,

LAND COMMUTAT|ON
FEES MUST Be PAID

There's going to be something
doing in clearing up the ancient land
award Communication business under
the law passed this year. Those con
cerned will have to take heed or they
may find their holdings of real estate
advertised for sale by the govern
ment one fine day. Speaking OF this
matter today Governor Frear said;
Last Legislature provided for
clearing up the remaining commuta,
tions on government land awards.
There are about one thousand cases
in which payment has not been made
and consequently the holders of the
tracts cannot get patent on them.
At the same time the government is
out of the money, interest as we'll as
principal.

in units of four feet. For this we
made a bid of $3.50 per unit. The
dock as now contracted for will be
GOO feet long, but this is small for a
government dock under present con-
ditions. Such a dock would take in
battleship without difficulty, but
when it came to the Mongolia or the
Manchuria would be unable to handle
them. If there should be war and
these vessels should be taken as trans
ports and need repairs there would be
a bad fix.
Il rather doubt if the dock will be
extended to the length originally es-
timated on, of 1900 feet, which would
virtually make two docks, but would
certainly expect that from $50 to 200
feet will be added to its length, which
will bring it up to the size of the
docks which are being built by the Fe-
deral government now.

lie and to those who handle the saloon
business.
II is understood that one of the mat
ters to come up will be that of pro-
hibiting chairs or tables in any of the
local bar rooms. The matter has
been informally discussed by some OF
the members of the Commission and
action to place regulation in effect
which will mean that the comforts
of sitting quietly down and drinking a
glass Of beer at leisure will be a thing
of the past is by no means unlikely.
Another matter likely to be taken
up is the question of the local restau-
rants which sell drinks without an
accompanying order for a meal. There
is no regulation against this at pre-
sent. The last board failed to pass
any regulation in the matter. What
stand the present board will take is
hard to say.
The meeting for the purpose of pass
ing the new regulations will not be
held till after the other matters be-
fore the Board have been settled. 1t
is understood that there will be no op-
position to the granting of a license to
Peacock and Company to run a saloon
in the premises formerly occupied by
the Royal Annex cafe, this being look
ed on in the light of a transfer rather
than a new license.

GLAMOR OF INNOCENCE OVER

Miauchi, one of the ten Japanese
strikers on trial for the Waipahu
riot, was on the stand for the defense
before Judge Robinson this morning.
His story jibed with that of Jotaro
Mikawa, No. ] defendant.
He said he heard a pistol shot and
ran to where it emanated from, where
he said crowd of 900 people had as
sembled.
Scoville and Wills, the special and
regular police officers respectively,
were seen in the midst. Scoville was
fourishing a gun.
Witness said to Scoville: mo use
showing pistol, Japanese are not scar
ed. Better go to Higher Wage Office -
They went to that place, where he
told the Japanese to disperse and
they did.
Witness then went to supper and
from there to the Higher Wage Office.
At that place he was arrested with
five or six others. He saw no sticks or
stones thrown.
Judge De Bolt this morning further
continued the trial of Maxine and
others for conspiracy until Monday,
