MIR. Smiths Suggestion.
Following an interview in the matter
of way out of the present municipal
difficulty, given to an Advertiser repre-
sentative on Thursday, W. o. Smith
embodied his ideas in a letter, address
ed to this paper, as follows:
Editor Advertiser:-Ma Fern s
published statement indicates that he
desires suggestions as to how the pres
ent controversy between himself and
the Board of Supervisors can be settled
and | offer the following:
The Act incorporating the City and
County Of Honolulu provides for gov
eminent by Mayor and Board of
Supervisors of seven members. The
controlling power is lodged in the Board
of Supervisors with the Mayor as pre-
siding officer. The power of the Mayor
is subject to the control of the Board;
even his veto may be overridden by
vote of five members of the Board.
The Mayor attempted to ignore the
authority of the Board, and the Board
took a course which they deemed neces-
sary to assert their authority and per,
form the duties imposed upon them by
law Confusion has resulted and pub
lie business is hindered. Keeping up
the strife is not in the public interests.
simple solution would be for the
Mayor and Supervisors to come to-
gether and practically start afresh. Let
all action so far taken be rescinded.
Let the Mayor present to the Board
such appointments as he is authorized
to make, for their approval; and all
other steps be taken in the manner
authorized by the Act, with the Mayor
presiding and performing his duties.
Of course this will result in the ma
jority of the Board having control,
which is what the Act contemplates and
the Legislature intended.
If the animating desire is to serve
the public way can be found. Where
there is will there is a way.
Obstinate Supervisors will be judged
and remembered by the voters as well
as an obstinate Mayor.

MARINE
IURL|NE RETURNS To
{ COAST VIA H|lO

When the Lurline arrives here next
Tuesday morning from San Francisco,
she will make quick discharge OF
her freight, take on sugar here, and
then leave for Kahului and Hilo, tax
ing ON sugar at both ports. She will
leave for San Francisco from Hilo di.
rect. cutting out Honolulu.
The Matson agent says that this
change in the schedule is made owing
TO the fact that the Alameda leaves
here for San Francisco on December
90 and the Hilonian about the 26th.-
If the Lurline returned here from Hilo
merely to get passengers she would be
sandwiehed in between two local pas
senger boats and the chances are that
she would get very little custom. As
the Hilonian of the same line is to
leave for the Coast about the same
time as the Lurline departs from Hilo,
the agents felt they could cut the Lur-
line out for this trip at least.
The Hilonian sails from San Fran
cisco for Honolulu on January 10.
Nippon Brings eMuch.
Bringing much mail and newspaper
files from the coast the 7. X. K. Nippon
Maru arrived in port at 7:45 P. M. and
locked on the mauka side of the Hack
field wharf, leaving the makai side open
for the Manchuria due this morning
from the Orient. Considerable difficulty
was experienced in getting the Nippon
alongside the wharf on account of the
mud accumulations in the slip. The
stern was brought alongside the wharf
but it was impossible to bring the bow
and midships section close, and the
space was finally bridged by the gang
way. The trip down was pleasant.
Among the passengers is Rear-Ad-
miral Jewell, Z. S. N, en- route to the
Orient, accompanied by Mrs. Jewell.
Mrs T. H. Jennings is the wife of an
ex-naval officer located in the Far East.
A. H. Mallory is a wholesale merchant
of Portland making a round trip on the
Nippon with his daughter. Mr.. Thorn
son is New Yorker who is en- route
to the Far East on a business trip. ac-
cempanied by John Thavanet Captain
Faweett goes to Manila.
Among the lay-over passengers are
C. McDermott and j. J. Overn, repre-
senting Philadelphia contracting firm
who are here to size up the Pearl Har-
Dor contracts. John D. Ross and David
d. Seerie are prominent mainland capt.
talists, who are making a pleasure trip.
They will remain here couple of
weeks.
The vessel leaves for the Orient at
ii clock this morning.

Carter Not Responsible.

The responsibility for the grounding
of the battleship Georgia in the Suez
Canal does not fall upon the shoulders
of Lieut.. Commander Carter, her navi-
eating officer, as stated in an evening
paper. No vessel ever passes through
Suez Canal without pilot. If ship
master does not want pilot he is
politely told TO take his ship around
Cape of Good Hope. Every warship
must, perforce, obey the rules, and the
responsibility, for the Georgia s acct,
dent, therefore, rests with the pilot
and not with Captain Carter, formerly
of the Honolulu Naval Station.

The skeleton of the basis of agree.
ment, as above. was informally laid
before Mr.. Smith, who stated that the
basis was in his view reasonable one,
although he had not looked into the
details of its working out.
Other Republicans looked for an
agreement on the basis suggested, but
nothing has come of it. Other Repub-
licans saw in it demand on the part
of the Democrats for their "pound of
flesh" and regarded the proposition as
simply means of corralling everything
in sight. From present appearances
the deadlock is as dead as ever and

City Attorneys Opinion.


City Attorney Cathcart is one of
those who sees no good in the Demo
cratic proposal
'What the Democrats agree to. con-
cede is practically nothing" he said
yesterday SIN my opinion the ap-
pointments made by the Mayor SO far
overreached what his rights were that
he put himself clearly in the wrong and
in the hands of the enemy. What he
offers to give up is something which
he never had, and what he wants to
take is practically everything. There
is nothing in his promise to give the
fire department to the Republicans, so
far as that being balance to the pos
sible formation of machine in the
road department. There cannot be a
machine in the fire department. No one
| would stand for that, however much a
| party man, while the electric light de-
| partment and the engineer depart
| ment are SO small as to be practically
| nothing. The police and road depart
ments are the main departments and
| the Democrats want them both. / do
not think that Mr.. Kinney desires to
have any machine built up, but there
are others in the Democratic party. /
think Link McCandless is the daddy of
the whole Democratic program, from
| the start.
$ suppose I am being criticized for
not holding myself in a non-partisan po-
sltion IN this matter. I did try to pre-
serve that position, though. l con
suited with Mr.. Fern regarding the lease
| of the city offices and tried to show
that l was ready to advise him in any
way desired, but l found that he did
not intend to consult with me or ask

Vlsors came to me [ advised them. /
am being blamed for some things which
have not done, however The Monday
proceedings were not on my advice, al
though the business done by the Super
vlsors on the following day was.
| The whole matter will have to be

could be done on an agreed statement
of facts, if we could get together to

PEARY'S STATEMENT
Will Charge That Cook Cannot Pro-
duce Shoes, Sedges and Other
Equipment.

1t has been learned at Portland,
Me, from a source close to Com
mander Peary that the commander
iustiiies his action of refusing to al
low DR.. Cooks instruments or records
on board the homeward bound steamer
Roosevelt on the theory that he had
been aware for some time of Cooks
intention TO claim the discovery of the
North Pole. and that Peary, therefore.
would sanction nothing to aid this pro.
ject.
Peary's forthcoming statement con-
cerning Cook, it was also learned. will
charge that the Brooklyn explorer can
not produce shoes, sledges or other
equipment which will show the wear
and tear that comes from travel over
the Arctic ice. This is the first init
nation of any specific evidence that
the commander will produce, although
he has said from time to time that he
has evidence enough TO discredit DR..
Cook.
1t seems evident that Peary is de-
sirous of issuing his statement in the
near future, especially since the ar.
rival of Harry Whitney at Indian Har.
Dor. While he declared that Whitney
has no part in the controversy Com
mander Peary has nevertheless re.
ceivcd messages concerning Whitney's
progress. He has, however, made no
attempt to communicate with Whitney
and says that he will make none.
