Honolulu Man Aboard.

Although the cablegram received yes
terday did not state that Melvin Vani-
man is aboard the airship America, he
was one of the crew expected to ac-
company Wellman in his attempt to
cross the Atlantic. VanIman was for
merly resident of Honolulu, an expert
photographer whose panoramas of Ho-
nolulu were sent to all parts Of the
world to promote tourist business. He
was the first to obtain panorama pic
ture of the harbor, and this was taken
from the masthead of a ship at anchor
in the bay. The camera he used was
built by himself and the picture was

man was an actor and known on the
stage as Melvin, appearing with E. H.

In a recent interview Vaniman said
he believed the voyage across the At
lantic could be made in four days, and
six days at the longest. The America
is the largest diriglble yet constructed
other than the largest Zeppelin, but will
lift twice as much as the Zeppelin. He
expressed the opinion that the chief diff

changes of temperature upon the lift

the semirigid type of airships. The
vessel is built for endurance rather
than for speed, and is constructed so
that it can be taken TO pieces and trans

Vaniman was the constructor of the

Ccborpo on Old Ono
In 1872, John Wise, a veteran aero
maui. and John Donaldson, one of a
later school, entered into an agreement
with the New York Daily Graphic to
cross the Atlantic in an ordinary bal
loon. Arrangements We're made with
the Domestic Sewing Machine Com
pany, whose main office was at the cor
ner of Broadway and Union Square,
New York, for sewing the material
necessary to construct the bag.
The Graphic was the first paper in
the United States to use a rapid re-
production process of engraving and il
Illustrations of the events connected
with the preparations were published in
the Graphic every day. Before the
bags, there were to be two of them,
We're made, Wise, who was conserva-
tive manbird, disagreed with his col
league, Donaldson, as to MINOR detail
and the trip was never begun.
The plan included a small balloon
which was to have a position half way
to the top Of the big bag. This was to
be used by Donaldson, who was fin
shed acrobat and rope walker, in GO
ing up to the valve, should the occa-
sion require at any time during the
long journey. 1t was so fixed that the
smaller bag could be drawn down to
the basket and while sitting in
b swain s chair the young man would
be raised to the necessary elevation.
Some years later Donaldson went up
in a balloon with a reporter named
Grimwood. starting from Chicago. They
were never heard from and it is sup
posed they fell into the lake. Wise,
who was the oldest in the profession,
also lost his life in a balloon venture.

Both Federal and Territorial
Money Will Be Used to Pre-
pare for Growing Shipping.

N addition to the 5000, 900 which the
federal government will expend on
dredging and cleaning up the harbor
basin and clearing the channel. the Ter
-itory viii also expend between $l50,000
and 5000 in dredging the harbor
slips and remodeling and dredging out
slip extensions
The present Matson wharf is to be
heightened and the slips also extended
up toward Queen street, the Job taking
in the site of the Brewer building, RACED
a few months since.
All the slips will have to be dredged,
as many of them have been filing
rapidly. The Hackfeld wharf slips may
also be redredged, as the Matson Navi
CATION Company is taking over the old
Hackfeld wharf, where the shed will be
extended to nine hundred feet in length,
so that two of the company's largest
vessels may berth in the same slip at
the same time and work cargoes.
Bids for Federal Dredging.
On November 2 bids will be opened
at the Office of Major Winslow, Corps
of Engineers, for dredging the harbor
and channel under the federal appro-
priation. All the contractors who are
equipped with dredgers are making ten
ders for this work. The Hawaiian
Dredging Company, although up to its
ears with the work at Pearl Harbor,
where it has a fleet of FIVE machines at
work on the bar, channel, harbor and
drydoek, may be one of the bidders,
while Hogs & Belser, who have one
machine already and another yet to be
built, will be in the field also.
About seventy thousand cubic yards
of material are to be taken from the
channel, and from the upper end of the
harbor sixty-thousand yards are to be
delivered to the Oahu Railroad and
Land Company for filing purposes on
some of its lands in the vicinity of the
harbor.
Insuficiency Of Wharves.
AS to wharves, the growing import
ance of the harbor indicates to those
in the shipping business that there is
an insuffciency of wharf space for the
better class of liners now entering the
harbor. The Matson Navigation Com
pany has outgrown the wharf where it
IAN operations and has taken over
the old Hackfeld wharf. Old as it is,
the wharf viii have to be remodeled
and brought as nearly up to date as
possible, owing to the vast increase of
its business. The Haekfeld wharf is
not well situated for passenger business,
being far from the street car lines and
inconvenient in rainy and muddy
weather.
The government may have PROPOSE
ton laid before it shortly that wharves
be built by corporations having ship
ping interests, on the understanding
that refund be made by the legisla-
ture for whatever OUTLAWS are made.
The time is growing short when the two
American continents Will be divided by
ship canal, which will be the medium
| by which great Atlantic passenger
liners will pass into the Pacific and
out to China via Honolulu. Four years
from now is the time set for opening
the canal. It takes nearly two years
to build a big wharf here. Delays
shorten up the time, and when 1914 ar

REPUBLICANS VOTED TO DIS
FRANCHISE NEGROES.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 3.-With re-
turns coming slowly from various
counties of the State, but still in
complete in forms, the results of Tues
days primary election remain prac-
tically unchanged with the exception
of the Goyernership on the Republi-
can ticket. Based on partial returns
Tuesday, j. W. McNeal was declared
the probable winner, but today's fig.
ures have made a radical change,
and party leaders here, including
Chairman James Harris, tonight con.
ceived the race is exceedingly close
between McNeal and former Govern.
or Tom Ferguson. The official count
may be required to decide who shall
be the standard-bearer.
On the Democratic side, w. H. Muir
ray and Lee Cruce are still claiming
the Gubernatorial victory by from 10,
900 to 10000 plurality. On the face
of the returns, however, Cruce hal
won.
Present figures indicate the adop
ton of the grandfather disfranchisint
clause by anywhere from $1,000 t
$4,000 majority. That the proposes
amendment should receive a heav-
vote in some strong Republican loca
tiles was one of the peculiar feature
of the election.
