RIFLEMEN
FAREWELLED
BY GOVERNOR

Headed by Colonel Jones the n. G.
H. rife team for Camp Perry called on
Governor Frear at nine o'clock this
morning to say goodbye.
The Governor made a few remarks
to them. He said he expected them
to make a good showing this year.
They had been improving right along.
Four years ago they scored 22S9 at the
National shoot. Two years ago they
made 2GSG and last year further i'm
proved their score to 271i They had
been improving lately in their prac-
tice at home making better scores
still, which Improvement the Govern
or hoped they would be able to keep
up at Camp Perry. Last year Hawaii
was twenty-siXth highest in fifty
teams, as against thirty-fourth in for
ty-eight teams the year before, and
Governor Frear trusted that this
years contingent would place the good
name Of the Territory at a still high
er notch in the scale of marllsman-
ship.

ward off the attacks that otherwise are
likely to be made with telling effect.
In view of this situation, congress

districts will have to be content with

lavish appropriations will have to wait

he was sorry he had not made clean
job OF the assault and killed his man.
Such was his attitude and he main
tanned it throughout the examination
| yesterday afternoon in the office of
| the Sheriff. He was cocky to the last
degree There was no further use in
attempting to hide the facts, for he
had been seen wrestling with Sheba
and he had been seen to throw away
| the knife He admitted then, that
he had purchased the knife for the
purpose and that he had il sharpen
ed.
Under the examination by the doc
tors in regard to his state of mind,
whether sane or insane, he was as
clear as could be- He was not insane
when he attempted to take Shebas
life, nor is he insane now, and this
statement is in accord with the opin-
ions of the medical men who examin-
ed him.
There was no need of any third-de-
gree system of questioning him yes
terday afternoon, for he replied clearly
and willing and fully to all interroga-
tions put to him. He admitted every
thing as far as he was concerned, say
ing in effect that Sheba was a traitor
and he had intended to punish him,
though he implicated no others in his
reply to the questions asked
He is still held under investigation,
no charge as yet having been placed
against him. He is kept in a cell on
the main floor of the police station,
separated from the rest of the prison
ers at the station, and handy to the
Sheriff's office. His meals are sent
in to him by sympathizers or friends,
those that are not paid fo- by him
self. He is not allowed 10 see the
newspapers, neither English nor Jap
anese. Smoking is the only privilege
permitted. He shows no sign of fear,
, nor does he seems to be nervous and,
apparently, his only regret is that he
must endure imprisonment for a job
that was not carried out as he in
tended.

GO TO HALEIWA.

There is something about Haleiwa
that is pleasing to everyone who goes
there. The cuisine is better than is
usually found at a hotel away from
town but that has always been the
case with Haleiwa so 1t is not that
which takes so many people to that
resort. Golfers prefer the links to any
others within reach of Honolulu and
automobilists say the roads in that d.
rection are so perfect that there is
nothing but pleasure from the time
they leave town until they get dinner
at the hotel. 1t is a good place at
which to spend a vacation because
there is everything to make stay

FIRE DEPARTMENT
At BLALOCK FARM
TEST WAS MADE YESTERDAY BY
CHIEF METZ AND SUPERIN-
TENDENT KNIGHT.
Force of Artesian Well Throws Water
More Than 15o Feet-Depart-
ment Is Organized.

With the discovery of an artoSian
flow on the property of the Blalock
farm. in the vicinity of the farm
buildings, an excellent fire system has
been installed and when the new ship
ment of hose, recently ordered, arrives
it will lack nothing in efficiency.
Yesterday in the presence of Fire
Chief William Metz and Ernest Knight,
water superintendent, a test of the
apparatus was made, showing that
everything was in perfect working or
der and that the pressure was suffl-
cient to throw stream a distance OF
$50 feet or more.
Everything has been nicely INSTALL
ed" said Chief Metz today, "and they
have a little fire department of their
own down there. All appliancese are
strictly up-to-date and when their or
der of hose arrives, nothing will be
lacking. They now have one hose carr
that they built themselves and are
working on another"
Since the installation of the new de
partment, property is well protected
and the company expects to save quite
a sum each year owing to the lessen
ing of insurance rates.

Home Coming Very Quiet
And He Receives
No Guests.

OYSTER BAY, March 5.-Roosevelt
and his wife arrived at 2:15 o'clock
this morning and went straight to
their home on Sycamore hill. To a
few friends he said
Il am going to have a corking rest"
Ethel threw her arms around her
father and kissed him. The only per-
sons at the home except the family
were two servants and Noah Seaman,
superintendent of the estate. After
greeting his daughter, the former pres
ident shook hands with the servants
and declared his intention Of imme-
diately going to bed and to sleep. All
visitors are informed that Col. Roose-
welt will not see anyone. The simplic-
ity of manner in which the man who
yesterday was surrounded by secret
service men and all the perquisites
of his high office, has returned as a
citizen to his home, has caused much
comment. From Washington he trav-
eled in an ordinary Pullman, having
reserved the drawing room. He had
no attendants.
In New York they were met by
Douglas Robinson, Mrs. Roosevelts
brother, who took them across Man.
haitian to Long Island station in an
automobile. There they boarded an
other train for the final stage of the
trip home.

At last the public building site
question in Walla walla has been
apparently been settled and the
A. H Reynolds site, North
Second street, previously rec
commended by Special Agent McDow-
ell, again selected by the treasury de-
partment as the location of the s14O,-
900 building to be erected here. The
announcement of the latest decision
question in Walla Walla has
through special dispatch from
Washington, d. c., to the Tacoma
Ledger, though Mr.. Reynolds said
this morning .thatshe had received no
formal notification and that the rec
ommendations Of Special Agent Win
don, who was sent here to review
the selection Of Mr.. Mcdowell, were
unknown to him.
According to the Washington dis
patch the price of the site, which
was previously given as $4,000. is
now about $4,000, leading to the belief
that property owners interested in
that part of the clay were success
full in raising the sum of $4,000 to be
applied on the site, leaving but $4,000
remaining for the government to pay.
Mr.. Reynolds would say nothing this
morning relative to the figures given
out by the treasury department.
The purchase comes too late for an
appropriation for the building at
this session Of congress, but accord
ing to advices received here, the elm
ination of the appropriation for $50
600 for the beginning of work on the
federal building will not affect the
construction of the building, nor post
pone the time of starting operations.
The original appropriation was for
$14O, 900, of which sum $4,000 was at
the time made Immediately available
for the purchase Of lot and the be-
ginning of work on the structure. The
remainder was to be placed at the dis
posal Of the government architect in
two installments Of $4,000 each. AS
the sum Of $4,000 has long ago been
appropriated and contractor whose
bid is accepted need not hesitate to
begin work because the entire amount
is not at this time available. for 1t
is not probable the building could be
completed before the whole amount Is
placed in the hands Of the architect.
Other Sites Submitted.
When Special Agent Mcdowell came
to Walla Walla several months ago
he inspected the several sites which
had been entered in response to the
call for bids and on his return to
Washington made recommendations to

nolds site be selected the entry price

WASHINGTON
QUIET NOW
After Inauguration, the Ma
tional Capital Takes
Rest.
VISITORS LEAVE
FOR THEIR HOMES
Decorations Draggled by
City Is
Sleeping.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The grim
gray dawn of the morning after, found
the national capital almost as quiet
if not so deserted as a haunted ceme-
terry at midnight during the dark Of the
moon Pallid as ghosts, worn and
weary and with not a cheer left in
them, hundreds of belated visitors are
sleeping late this morning, business is
almost at standstill, and those whose
occupations force them to be up and
doing wear the stupid air of those who
celebrated over-much on that grand
and glorious yesterday that marked
the passing of Roosevelt and the ar
rival Of Taft. The decorations of in
auguration day look sadly torn and
draggled this morning after the storms
of yesterday.
Despite the "tired feeling" so preva-
lent today, there are not a few states
men who are already considering the
the things to be accomplished by the
legislators, and among these the prin
cipal topic of conversation is the spe-
cial session of the new Sixty-firs Con-
gress which will convene ten days
hence. Although a majority of the
members of both branches Of the ma
tional legislature have gone home to
rest during the intervening interval,
many of the leaders will stay in Wash
ington to discuss with the new presi-
dent the plans for the special session.
Unless present signs fail, dog days

long established deliberative methods
when it gets hold of the bill.
