Suicide because she deemed him I'M
faithful

Chief Of Federal Bureau Here
to Take Observations on
HaWaii's Problems.

Released from the geologic survey, |
w. F. Martin, chief photographer of |
that survey, yesterday arrived in Ho.
nolulu on the China to commence the |
study of the Island geology for pur.
poses of supplying data for the con-
servation of water, study that will
occupy possibly five years time. Martin
| has been released without prediudice
from the service; lent TO Hawaii, as it
were. AT any time he wishes, he may
return to the Coast and resume his
position in the federal work. Should
he find the climate nard on him or on
Mrs. Martin, who accompanied him, he
may return, but it is not probable that
he will leave for several years.
| He Immediately placed himself under
the orders of Marston Campbell, super
intendent of public works, and is now
installed at his desk in Campbell s Of
fee. The latter has advised him to
take a week at least to rest up, read
up, and become acquainted with the
town, advice which he will probably
! follow.
In discussing his work yesterday
Martin stated that proper results, OF
the gathering of sufficient data to com
o mence practical work, could not be OBJ
n tanned in less than three years or mayb,
e FIVE. Two years would hardly be sufh
e cient.
q Then, he says, the results of his worl
will result in the establishing of dams

e il might naturally resolve itself int

HARBOR TO
Be GREAT NAVAL
BASE OF PACIFIC

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE
President has approved the recon-
mendation of the joint army and navy
board for making Pearl Harbor, in the
Hawaiian Islands, the great naval sta
ton in the Pacific. In doing this it
was considered that a temporary naval
station only would be constructed at
Olongapo and that the proposed i'm
proven,ent in Manila harbor would be
abandoned. This will leave the pro-
lection of the Philippines to the army.
The determination to minimize the
Notifications in the Philippine Islands
and to make Pearl Harbor a great
naval station was not, it was explained
today, because of any intention to
withdraw American control from the
Philippines. 1t was done, it was said
purely for reasons of strategy.
For years fierce controversy has
been waged as to whether the principal
fertilization in the Philippines should
be located at Olongapo or cavite. The
naval officers favored Olongapo and
the army Manila bay on the ground
that Olongapo could not be protected
from land attacks.
The big floating dry dock Dewey is
now at Olongapo and under the present
plan will be retained there. Such i'm
provements as are made at this point
now estimated to cost between 1000
and 100000, will be with the idea OF
removing the Dewey to some Other
port in case of danger from attack.

PUT THEM OFF

DISPOSED OF THE ST0WAWAYS
LurIine Hands Over Two to the
Hilonian, Which She Called
by Her Wireless.

While the steamships Lurline and
Hilonian of the Matson Navigation Com
pany were in midocean, thousand
miles from Honolulu, the former on
the way to San Francisco and the lat
ter en- route to this port, two stowaways
on the Lurline were transferred to the
Honolulu-bound boat.
When the Lurline was day or two
out from Honolulu the stowaways were
discovered. The captain didn't want
them aboard and decided to take the
first and best opportunity of getting
them back to the Islands. He sent a
wireless message out into the Pacific
addressed to the captain of the Hilo-
man. The message futtered through
i, the air and settled upon the receiving
wire of the Hilonian. The message told
Captain Frederickson that two undesir
able passengers were on the Lurline
and he wanted to get rid of them
Would the Hilonian come along thu
route of the Lurlines So by wireless
the two captains ascertained the route
of each ship and during last Friday thu
two steamers came close enough to
gether to permit of boat being launch
ed from the Lurline carrying the tw
deadheads. They were put aboard tn
Hilonian and when the vessel reaches
port last night they came ashore in
hurry. One gave his name as Tx
Stevens, and the captain says the othe
was formerly connected with one Of tn
Inter-Island steamers.
The Hilonian brought $500 tons o
cargo including icehouse goods and e>

Other matters which took up his
