By State Board Of Arbitration,
Sometime This Week.
Manufacturers Accused Of Dodg.
Ing the Issue Of Wage Increase.

New Bedford, Mass, Sept. 12.-At the
meeting of the New Bedford Textile
Council held Saturday night it was
stated that while in Boston last week
members CT the Textile Council had
seen the state board Of arbitration and
it was stated by the board that they
would be in this city either Wednesday
or Thursday of the coming week to
take up the matter of the wage ques-
ton here. ,,,.-
Under the circumstances there was
nothing for the council to do but to
read the letter of the manufacturers
which simply reiterated the stand
taken by the mill men, that they would
be willing to have an investigation
made of the relative wages paid the
operatives in this city as compared
with the wages paid the operatives in
other mill centers.
The members of the council openly
stated that the manufacturers were
side-stepping the real issue, and that
the council wanted the ability of the
manufacturers to pay better wage
scale tested. but now that arbitration
had been started the council would

comparison they would like to have
the whole matter gone into.
A new union was taken into the
Textile Council. the warp twisters, and
it was left in the hands of the presi-
dent, John Halliwell, and the four Sec
retaries representing the spinners. the
carders, loom fixers and warp twisters
to carry OH all matters pertaining to
the arbitration and to meet the board
in behalf of the Textile Council.
1t was also voted to communicate
with Gov. Draper and ask him to have
the findings of the board published in
full. .4,
Should the, decision of the board be
that the advance in wages is warrant
ed, the operatives will look to the
manufacturers to make overtures. and
If adverse the Textile Council is duty
bound to wait so days before taking
action relative to calling the opera
tives out on strike.

NO HAsTY CONCLUSION.
President Of Peary Arctic Club Doesn't
Yet Dscredit Cook.

New York, Sept. 12.-Commander
Peary has sent no word to the mem
bers of the Peary Arctic Club, thanks
to the financial support of which he
was able to attain the long coveted
goal in application Of his dispatches
branding DR.. Cooks claims of having
first discovered the North Pole as al,
attempt to foist gold brick" upon
the public. General Thomas H. Hub
bard, president of the club, Will.
firmly convinced of the good faith of
Peary, is not inclined to take the
naval officers challenge of DR.. Cooks
claim as categorical declaration
based upon indisputable proof that Dr.
Cook did not reach the Pole.
Il believe said he, that Com
mander Peary. hearing that DR.. Cook
had laid claim to having accomplished
what he himself had devoted the hes,
part of his life to achieve, saw in VIVA,
to him was but the unsupported
declaration of one man, the possibility
of his glory being urjustly minimized.
through the too eager acceptance by
the public of what might be after all
only monumental falsehood.
l am not prepared to say that DR.,
Cook did not reach the Pole. 1 dom,
know whether he did or not. But !
understand Commander Peary's attl-
tude respecting his rivals claim. Fear
full no doubt lest institutions like Uni
versity of Copenhagen and the Danish
Geographical Society take DR.. Cooks
statements for granted ard accord him
formal recognition which later they
pOl116 11-p11 withdraw hn
it upon himself to sound a warning.
I do not take it that Commander
Peary positively knows that DR.. Cook
did not reach the. Pole, but he has
heard that he did not, and for this rea-
son urges the PUBLIC to not take the
Cook story too seriously.
You can see how DR.. Cook, aSsum-
ing for the sake of argument that he
is the sort of man who could stoop
to such a thing-cOuld easily have
woven together plausible story OF
the discovery of the Pole from infOr-
nation given him, if not by the Es-
Iuimaux in Peary's party, at least by
other members Of the tribe. to whom
the exploit achieved by Commander
Peary was known.
"Peary returned to comparative civ
iliZation on April 49, and the news OF
his success was at once disseminated
among the Esquimaux assembled near
the Roosevelt. DIR. Cook then hac
from the end of April to the end OF
August to hear the story and modes
his own after the original. l do not
say that he did this. but he could
have done so and this thought no
doubt at once struck Commander
Pcary when he learned that DR.. Cook
claimed to have outstripped him in
the race fer the Pole. My attitude in
the matter is one of waiting. 1t VIII
be time enough to arrive at con-
clusion when the proofs of both claim
ants are laid before board of COM
petent judges" Al

many other subjects of legislation. Sec
tion provides that any statute of the
Territory in conflict with any such or
dinance shall cease to be operative
within the city and county so long as
the ordinance remains in force.
Il know OF no similar provision else
where so broad as this, although | am
aware in some places somewhat similar
powers are conferred under different
conditions and with reference to a
narrower range of subjects.
Apparently the purpose of Section
8 is to avoid the effect of the decision
of the Supreme Court in the case of the
Territory V. McCandless, IS Haw Gle,
but in order to accomplish this it would
be sufficient to provide merely that city
and county ordinances should not be
imperative by reason of the fact that
there is a Territorial law covering the
same subject. There is no need OF
giving the city and county such extern
sive authority. to annul or repeal so
far as it is concerned the laws of the
Territory"

more than S174OO0 while there are
pending bills and resolutions carrying
ANYTHING between four and five mil

Evidently the Senate is in favor Oh
some measure to remedy the eNli -ei
lack of coordination and the preVa-
lence of discord between sherlhs ana
tbair IDENTITIES. and whether or not II
will pass the House measure proVld-

The Legislature this morning re-
ceived from Governor Frear his veto
of Representative Douthitts bill which
sought to amend the municipal act by
authorizing the City and County Su-
pervisors to control and regulate the
method and style of construction of
carpenter, machine, blacksmith and
other workshops, foundries, bakeries,
and other factories, laundries, poi
shops, abattoirs, fshmarkets and
places where nOisome trades or manu-
facturers are carried on, hotels, te
nements, lodging houses, theatres, halls
and places of public resort; prescrib-
ing places for such, and to enact and
enforce ordinances necessary to re-
move such.
On Douthitts motion, in the House,
consideration of the veto goes over an
til tomorrow morning.
The message in full, is as follows:
Il herewith return, without my ap-
proval, House Bill No. II entitled An
Act to Amend Section2o Of An Act en-
titled AN Act Incorporating the City
and County OF Honolulu" being Act
11S of the Session Laws of 1907
This Act in my opinion attempts to
confer upon the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of Honolulu too
extensive as wen as most unusual pow
ers. This is due perhaps to a desire
to make sure of meeting certain needs
deemed to be important. In such cases,
however, great care should be taken to
avoid going so far that the resulting
evils in other directions will be greater
than the evil intended to be remedied,
or so far that even the desired object
itself will be frustrated.
Assuming for present purposes that
the provisions of Section l are not so
broad as to be unconstitutional, or at
least that it would be safe to enact
them and leave their construction or
effect to the courts, and also that there
is no objectoon to Section taken by
itself, think that Section especially
in connection with Section 2, goes al
together too far.
Section authorizes the Board of
Supervisors to make all ordinances ne
cessary to protect health, life and prop
erty, in other words, to cover practi-
cally all subjects embraced within the
Territorial criminal laws as well as

ment and execution of written invest
ments was, at the suggestion OF Pre-
/ sident Smith who indicated defects,
deferred till Monlay on third read

tion act of this session. by making
temporary provision for the Board OF
Agriculture and Forestry, etc, passed
third reading 1870.
! House bill for enrolment of mill
tia on second reading was referred 10
the military committee.
! House bill to provide for the ap-
pointment instead OF election of dep
uty sheriffs, coming up for reference
on second reading, provoked warm
debate
Chillingworth strongly favored the
bill on the ground of the mischief donS
when a sheriff, who appointed the po-
lice, was not in harmony with the
3 deputy sheriff, who was in charge OF
I the police.
! Coelho thought the remedy was to
give the deputy sheriffs the appoint
ment of the police.
/ Mccarthy said if the sheriff had the
appointment of the police he should
also have the appointment OF his dep
uty. If the deputy was to be elected
as now the sheriff should not be res
ponsible for the acts OF the deputy
! The thing should be remedied. Whe-
ther this bill was the right way he
was not prepared to say.
Fairchild began remarks in favor
of the bill, when Coelho sharply call
ed him to order on the ground that
the merits of the bill could not be
debated on a motion to re~-r The
speaker sat down with a remarK
about the objecting member having
discussed the bill himself.
President Smith had taken the
floor with Vice President Kalama III
the chair, but his first attempt tc
speak was anticipated by Coelho's
speech on the bill. He now admit
ted the point of order but claimed in
T diligence on account OF the import,
ance of the bill especially as one oi
the motions was to lay the bill on thJ
table, which he thought would be dis
courteous to the House, From his
experience of deputy sheriff on the
Islands Of Kauai and Maui for differ.
