Action No Surprise.
The cable from Washington did not
come as a surprise to those who are
familiar with the conclusion that Spe-
eial Agent Harr reached as the result
of his investigation in Honolulu. Be
fore leaving for the mainland, Harr
told friend that while he did not
find anything absolutely dishonest II
the administration of Breekons' Office,
he was convinced that he was out of
sympathy with the majority Of people
in the community, and he thought has
ultimate resignation probable.
Il is understood that there were no
recommendations in the Harr report;
simply the facts as he discovered them
TO exist after an impartial investiga-
ton. He enumerated all that had
been accomplished by Breekons during
his tenure of office, and found much
TO be commended, but the document
was Just as impartial in dealing with
what Harr considered the shorteom-
ings and unprofessional conduct that
had been pursued by the United states
ATTORNEY in several instances.

Because the ship waited for the

last night were informed that the Maru
was DELAYED because the moon hadn t

Held Up by a Calm.

on the coast Of Molokai, several days
ago, Captain Meyers ran into a fat
calm. Not a breath OF wind stirred,
and the sails Of the vessel never bagged
an inch. Il was exasperating, to say
the least, that Captain Meyers should
have such bad lack on his first voyage
down here, bat the owners of the yes
sci are well pleased with the showing
he made under the circumstances. In
spite Of the fact that almost every boat
that has arrived here within the last
two months has reported exceedingly
stormy weather, the Levers had only
ordinary winds and no heavy seas to
speak Of. She is loaded to the limit
with Washington lumber, most of it in
the rough. Her deck is piled high, and
the schooner sits low in the water.
