HAWAII WOULD PROVIDE
THOUSANDS Of FARMS

WASHINGTON. March 26.-Giving
the results of observations made in a
recent visit to the Hawaiian Islands,
Director Newell of the Reclamation
Service speaks at length of the posi-
bilities of the reclamation Of lands
there suitable for homestead purposes.
He finds that, as a rule, the sugar
companies are irrigating most Of the
cane lands, pur thinks that there are
considerable tracts Of other lands as
well adapted to sugar cane which VIII
have great value when water Is
brought to them and they are infeiii-
gently cultivated
He thinks it probable that over lo0,-
coo acres of land now practically use
less NAV be reclaimed. and SAYS that
on this basis II would be possible to
furnish 5000 farms Of twenty acres
each, which would provide for a popa-
lation of about 10000 persons. He.
therefore, recommends a systematic ex-
animation Of the water resources Of
the Islands and the preparation of a
contour map.

IS WARREN To
Run HAWAI-?
Has a Young Wyoming Man
All Ready to Take the
Breckons lob.
BY Ernest G.. Walker.
mail Special to the Advertiser.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 21.-
From present appearances there is to
be opposition to the selection of A.
L. c. Atkinson TO be District Attorney
of Hawaii. This opposition is not so
much personal TO Mr.. Atkinson as it is
friendly to Mr.. Breekons, who recent
" retired Some think an effort will
be made to put Mr.. Breekons back into
his former place, now that there is
a new administration. His friends here
intimate that he might have the nomi-
nation again if the Department of JUS
tice would assent to a removal of the
restrictions about corporation and other
practise as attorney.
Just how much foundation there is
for that claim can not be stated with
any accuracy. IF it be found that Mr..
Breckons can not be restored, Senator
Warren, of Wyoming, will seek to have
one of his constituents from Cheyenne
appointed to the place. The young
man is willing to go to Hawaii for
the salary of $4,000. His name for the
present is withheld but Senator War
rem is ready to press for the nomina-
tion of the Wyoming man to the exelu-
sion of Mr.. Atkinson.
It was stated at the White House
yesterday that the matter has not come
vet before President Taft and that moth
ing is known there about it. The
presumption is that President Taft will
not restore Mr.. Breckons, after the ac-
ton taken following the presentation
of the Harr report. Of course, Mr..
Breekons can claim that he was not
forced to resign, it being understood,
as already stated in the Advertiser,
that he took the course he did on the
suggestion of Senator Warren. Presl-
dent Taft has not indicated yet what
his policy win be about nominating out
siders for territorial offices. Senator
Warren viii probably be pretty in1u-
entail with the President in such mat
tiers
The whole question of appointments
from outside of Hawaii is likely to be
raised also when it comes to the nomi-
nation of an additional Federal judge.
AS far as can be learned there IS no
news in Washington thus far about who
the new Judge will be. President Taft
has been too busy with other questions
to give it attention yet and may not
for some time as the new judge viii
not take Office till July 1.

ADMIRAL |J|CHI IS
PLEASED WITH VISIT

Admiral Ijichi expresses himself as
greatly pleased with his visit to Ho-
nolulu and the warm reception he has
received from both the foreign and
japanese residents Last evening he
prepared a reply 10 the House Of Rep
resentatives' aloha to the squadron
and was quite busy with many other
replies to welcomes received during
the week.
The admiral also eabled his regrets
to the people of San Diego that he
world be unable TO accept their invi-
tation for the squadron TO visit that
port. owing to his itinerary having al
ready been planned, to which he must
adhere strictly. The admiral regretted
last evening that the squadron could
not stop at San Diego, as he felt sure
the welcome there would be sincere
and pleasurable to himself, officers and
men.
Today the squadron leaves for Hilo,
where. after a three davs' stay. the
vessels will start for San Pedro, and
thence crnise up the coast.

THE SENATE N A
SECRET SESSION FAILS To
CONFIRM APPOINTMENTS
House Receives Freak
Petitions and Adj
iourns After a Hard
HaIf-Day's Work.

The House saw some rather unusual
things yesterday, one being the sight
of all the members of the judiciary
Committee voting IN body against a
bill they had unanimously endorsed,
and another being Kaniho outdoing
himself. The bright particular stunt of
was the presentation of petition
from a number of voters and citizens
who worship while the sun shines and
keep disereetly quiet in their document
about what they do when the sun has
gone down. Another of his petitions
came from certain ftcitizens of Ma
noa, whatever that means.
The House only sat for half a day,
adjourning at noon after rushing
things, this being in respect to the
fact that the day was Good Friday
A report of the Molokai trip was
presented, which made a number of
recommendations, one being that when
the trip is made next year only the
members of the Legislature, members
of the Board of Health and the repre-
sentatives of the press be allowed to
go. Another recommendation in re-
gard to this next trip was that the pail
trail be put into shape so that the
chartering of a special steamer will be
unnecessary and the committee may
enter the Settlement by the overland
route.
The report also referred to the re-
quest made for money for a hall in
which TO show moving pictures, say
ing: The idea is to have a building
not less than seventy feet long, with
a stage at one end, and planned to
protect the audience from rain and yet
allow a free circulation Of air. We do
not recommend that the Territory pro-
vide this, but that some baron who has
reaped rich harvests in these Islands
be philanthropic enough to help them
out. A malihini, Dr. Wyllie, gave the
lepers bandstand at his own expense.

GOOD FORTUNE CAME TOO LATE.
Lifelong Unfortunate Killed Himself
at Moment Of luck's Turn.

A French provincial newspaper tells
story of the irony of fate. The hero
was a notary's clerk, named Lemer-
cier who had a remarkable series Of
reverses of fortune.
He seems to have been hoodoo.
for something was bound to go wrong
with every firm he joined in the ca
pacity OF clerk or cashier. Always Ill
paid and wretchedly unhappy. the
youth was in turn gardener. por'
ter, a carter and anything else that
enabled him to buy bread, till after
10 years of a hand-to-month struggle
he returned to his native village OF
Breval, near Nantes, and was taken
in by a charitable person. In vain
he sought for work, and he contracted
some unavoidable small debts.
The other morning an imperative
knocking at the door announced the
emissaries of the law. The wretched
Lemercier barricaded himself In and
then hanged himself. When a lock-
smith had broken open the door Lee
mercier was dead. The intruder had
not come to arrest him, but to an.
nounce that a distant relative had left
him legacy OF $4,000.

The increased cost OF living in India
generally, and in Calcutta particularly,
writes our correspondent, is severely
felt not only by Europeans but also by
Indians. House rent in recent years
has trebled and even quadrupled.
Ten years ago a family of half a
dozen persons could live in fair com.
fort for e200 a year, excluding extras.
With nothing less than $500 can one
live in the same way now. This is
recognized by the government, and
the salaries of subordinate officials
have been revised
Domestic servants wages have in.

cannot be had for less than $40 a
year, whereas half that sum was con.
sidered sufficient ten years ago.--Lon.
