PHONE CONTRACT
To BE SIGNED
THE BOARD DEFERS ACTION
But Only That Members May
Have Time to Study All
the Provisions.

Despite the determined opposition of
Mayor Fern, and of his henchman,
Supervisor Mcclellan, the contract be-
tween the City and County of Homo
lulu and the Mutual Telephone Com
pany, whereby the telephone company
will be exempted from the payment of
all fees in connection with the issu-
ance of excavation permits, and the
county will secure fine underground
duet for its police and fire alarm
cables, will be signed.
AT last nights meeting of the board
of supervisors the contract was intro
duced, and it would have been an
proved but for the fact that Super
visors Aylett and Cox wanted an op-
portunity to look the instrument over
and make themselves thoroughly fami-
liar with its contents.
Kane made a talk in which he oh
jected to the signing of the contract.
though he failed to make his reasons
for opposing the agreement in any wav
clear. Mcclellan evidently opposed it
because the Mayor did.

PROPOSED CENTRAL
HOME TOO COSTLY

AT meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Mutual Telephone Com
pany yesterday afternoon, the plans for
the new proposed structure on Adams
lane came up for consideration.
1t was hoped that they would prove
satisfactory that the company might
advertise for bids at once and COM
mence construction on its future home.
but it was decided that the cost of a
building constructed on the plans as
submitted is more than the company
is able to pay at this time.
The building, as at present outlined,
is 40x60, two-story, pressed-b brick
front structure. A roomy basement
and a vault are provided for and high
" modern architectural ideas are in
eorporated in the plans. The building
was designed by Architect Hummel
and carefully checked by J. Fl. Young
and in its present form is estimated to
cost about $4,000.
George R, Carter stated vester-
day that the plans have been referred
back to the architects for modifca-
lions that will keep the price within
$50, 900 which is all the comany con-
siders itself able to pay at this time.

Crane Says He Followed Orders
Issued Him by the
President.
RESIGNATION IS CALLED FOR
Situation Is Unique in Annals
OF Diplomacy as Far as
Is Known.
(By Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, October Is IF
statements made by the Hon. Charles
X. Crane are accurate, friction has de-
veloped between President Taft and
his secretary of state. Crane yesterday
made the statement that his inter.
views on the Chino-Japanese aues-
tion, published in the Chicago papers.
were given out at the express command
OF the President. This puts a new
light on the present controversy and
places Secretary Knox in a position not
| entirely enviable.
Yesterday Secretary Knox informed
Minister Crane that he would accent
his resignation. At the same time the
secretary issued public statement, In
which he explained his position In the
matter by saying that the new minis
ter to China had given out confidential
information in the course of news
paper interview. This information, &C
| cording to Knox, was secured from q
clerk in the state department, and
should not have been made public un.
der any consideration.
Minister Crane did not present his
resignation, as the secretary had ex-
pected, but issued q statement on his
| own account. In that statement ha
said that, should he resign, the burden
of his resignation would rest upon
President Taft, In tina. he (Crane) had
given out the interview which caused
| all the trouble at the express command
of the chief executive.
Crane, furthermore, made the state
ment that Knox had been, to put il
mildly, inaccurate in the statements
| which he made, and he further charg-
ed that the secretary is trying to up
set the plans of the President as well
as those which he himself has an
nounced.
The famous interview, which is like
ly to go down In history as the cause
of one of the most extraordinary con-
troversies on record, concerned the
Chino-Japanese treaty in regard to
the construction of the Antung -Muk-
den railroad Minister Crane stated
that the United States would, in all
probability, enter a formal protest
against the terms of the agreement.
This interview was widely re-
printed and the newspapers published
in Toxic commented on it extensively.
The remarkable feature of the whole
affair is that Minister Crane was al
lowed to make all preparations for his
departure for his new post as envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary to the Flowery Kingdom before
the secretary took exception to his
statements. Then, just On the eve of
his departure, via an army transport,
for the Orient, he was summoned to
Washington by telegraph.
Before he left for the national cap
ital, Minister Crane had a conference
with President Taft and it is consid-
cred not unlikely that some new phase
in the case may develop as a result OF
that conference. At any rate, Crane
has made it plain that he will not re-
linauish his honors without making his
case plain to the whole country and
the controversy may result IN even
more sensational developments.
