.CATHCART CASE
ENDS IN SMOKE

Shortly before noon today the Terri
torial Grand Jury filed into Judge De
Bolts court and submitted a report
of no bill in the case of County Attor-
ney Cathcart, charged with assault and
battery on one Goo Wan Hoy.
Mr.. Cathcart was not in the court
room at the time, the first information
of the finding reaching him by tele-
phone.
The story of the County Attorneys
interview with Goo Wan Hoy a few
nights ago will be we'll remembered.
From the police court the matter went
to the grand jury and was taken up
yesterday. The finding of the inquisi-
torial body was not altogether unex-
pected.
In it's inquiry the Grand jury not
only examined all the witnesses nam
eu by Goo Wan Hoy but called in two
others not mentioned by the complain
ant at all.

QUINN JOINS
THE DEMOCRATS

Senator e. w. Quinn definitely
alignted himself with the opponents
of the Republican administration and
put himself against the Republican
platfrom on which he was elected, on
the occasion of crucial division that
took place this morning on the House
resolution embodying the Organic Act
amendment bill pending in Congress
That Coelho and Robinson placed
themselves in similar position was
not unexpected, being where they
have most often been found. The re-
suit of the detection of the two act
ing together was that the most i'm
porant section of the measure was
defeated so far as it could be by the
Territorial Legislature. This was af-
ter a lucid explanation of the mea-
sure by Governor Frear in person,
which showed that tie bill was well
designed to settle a Number of quas-
tions arising out of tine relations be-
tween the United States and the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, also that it had
been changed in manner not quite in
accord with his views yet without. in
his opinion, preventing it from being
about as satisfactory a measure as
could on on the whole be devised.

READY TO
CUT CORAL
GIANT CLAMSHBLL DREDGER AND
HOPPER SCOWS FOR PEARL
HARBOR.

A new and extremely powerful clam
scows and a tug with which to handle
them, are soon to be placed at WORK
on the Pearl Harbor channel contract
which is in the hands of the Hawaiian
Dredging Company. In addition to
this the present equipment has been
placed in the best of condition and
changes made in the big suction dredge
Pearl which will give it much great
er capacity for working.
The clamshell dreuger arrangements
for which were made by Walter Dill
ingham while on the coast, will be a
tremendously powerful affair. 1t will
be 120 feet long and sixty feet in width
and the boom will be LAG feet in length.
This will be used for the dredging on
the bar, which is considered the hard
part of the contract. The two big
hopper dredger scows will be used in
che same work They are different
from anything ever seen here and con-
tain four pockets each, any one OF
which will have a larger capacity than
the entire hulls of the scows now in
use. To handle these a tug of about
the power of the Intrepid will be ne
cessary. She must be of light draft,
however, in order that she may be
placed alongside of the dredger when
in shallow water. Such a boat will
probably be bought on the coast by
w. f. Dillingham; before his return
to this city. According to present
plans he will arrive here on the Mon
golia, due May II.
The machinery for the dredge is al
ready here and ship load of lum-
Der for the building of the hull and for
the construction of the scows is ex-
pected to arrive here about the first
of May. The hulls will be construct
ed by local contractor, bids having
been asked for already.

vETOES OF
APPROPRIATIONS

Nothing doing when the Senate open
ed at 2 p. m, Chilingworth moved for
a recess subject to the call of the
chair, suggesting in addition that the
president wait ON the Governor and
ask him to send down his appoint
ments. He spoke of peculiar posi-
ton from the fact that the offices Of
Commissioner Of Public Lands and
Surveyor had not been considered.
Was the superintendent of Public
Works under the combination of offices
to have the appointment of those two
important officers?
Coelho stated that the combination
was effected, as the salary was voted
for the head Of the combined depart
ments.
Recess was taken, the president go
ing up to the executive Office.
ORGANIC ACT AGAIN.
AT 3:17 the Senate was called to or
der to receive a notification from the
House that it had failed to concur In
the Senate amendments to House con-
current resolution q. The president
appointed Fairchild, Mccarthy and
Quinn as Senate conferees.
Coelho returned to the table his re-
solution on the water controversy. The
matter was in line for early settle
ment.
GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
After another recess a message from
the Governor was received disapproy
ing about $4,000 worth of items OF
the big appropriation bill. In hr

Appointments

At o'clock this afternoon Governor
Frear sent a message to the Senate
in which he named e. A. Mott-Smith
as president and member of the Board
of Health, Albert Horner as Liquor
Commissioner for the County of Ha-
waii, William P. Alexander and George
r. Carter as Commissioners of Public
Archives and George Herbert as a
member of the Board of Medical Ex-
aminers. The last three mentioned
are denominations.
Horner succeeds Lidgate, whom the
Senate refused to confirm.
Willard e. Brown this morning
finally declined to accept appointment
as Territorial treasurer.
He (Brown) was then asked by Sec
retary Mott-Smith to see William L.

would accept the Office. Mr.. Brown

eve have already one local man
as a Federal judge. There is such a
thing as being too insular in our
views, andwhen such man as Judge
Woodruff is concerned whose appoint
ment is not matter of patronage

one who simply wants to get GER
tain man into a position-lt is quite
satisfactory. 1t is even good thing
when you can get the right kind of a
man. 1t will be an acquisition to the
Territory"
The Governor added that he recon-
mended both Judges Perry and Whit
ney.

some of the items but that the financial
conditions make it necessary.
The Queens hospital item of $4,000
is vetoed, on the ground that the city
and county Of Honolulu should look
after the matter. The governor also
disapproved a clerk to the deputy
high sheriff, bookkeeper for the dep
uty insurance commissioner, appro-
priations for Mahukona and Hanalei
wharf Improvements, and three clerks
for the first circuit court.

NO SUFFRAGE YET
FOR SUFFRAGETTES

Kealawaas resolution anent woman
suffrage was politely tabled in the
House this morning for the reason that
the ladies themselves had failed to at
tack the Legislature with any prayer
for recognition at the polls.
This was the reason given in the mis-
cellaneous committees report for re-
commencing that the resolution be
laid on the table.
But the hint remains, the hint to
women that if they want to vote they
had better get in and hustle within the
next two years, and fly banners and
make speeches and memorialize Con-
gress and the next Legislature, and
for the next Legislature to memorial

Governor Frear, speaking of the ju-
dicial appointments exclusively re-
ported by The Star, said:
Judge Woodruff is assistant attor-
ney general for the Interior Depart
ment. In that capacity he has had
a great deal to do with the admins
tratiOn of the land laws.
He was member of the Commits
sion ON Public Lands appointed last
year by President Roosevelt. Mr..
Woodruff is very highly thought of
in Washington.

he was a member OF the college foot
ball team, and on the Yale boats
crew with George r. Carter.
Judge Woodruff is a man of ability
and very high character. When was
asked in regard to his appointment
replied that l thought it would be all
right to appoint him if the admins
tration saw fit. And number of the
attorneys and leading business men

submitted the answer to the Terrific
rial secretary.
OF the matter Mr.. Hopper said, early
this afternoon: 81 was asked by bust
ness man il / would accept the office
of Territorial treasurer and replied
that | would do So"
Charles Hustace, Jr., is also said
to have declined the appointment. Hus-
tace's reason is said to have been the
rumors of a possible change in gov
ernors.
The Senate at once confirmed all the
nominations except that of Mott
Smith for President of the Board OF
Health This was held up temporarily
pending an explanation of the attitude
of President Mark Robinson, some OF
the members wanting an assurance
that he had resigned before they
agreed to, the new appointment.
