FREAR LISTENED
TO DITCH KICKS
Main Objection to Irrigation Bill
Appears to Be That 1t Is
Too General.
tFr0m saturday,a . AdvertIser.l

Objections made to Governor Frear
while he was in Hilo against the pro.
posed Kau ditch bill, brought to the
attention of congress recently by John
t. McCrosson, indicated that the pref.
erence was against a general bill in
favor of specific bsll, confning its
scope to the proposed Kau ditch alone.
While the Governor does not state, for
himself, that he believes this is advis.
able, he has brought to Honolulu ex-
pressions of opinion of residents of the
Island of Hawaii, and will have them
forwarded to Washington.
He stated yesterday that there doesn It
seem to be any objection to the Kan
project, the objection being to extend
ing the language to cover future irriga-
tion projects in other sections. Some
appear to think that the bill should be
acted upon by the Legislature before
being presented to congress for consid-
Grafton, the "resolution sprung at
the Hilo meeting being from one of
these.
The Governor states that while some
of the residents of Hawaii may be writ
ing their opinions and forwarding them
to Washington, none of the objections
age being forwarded through him as
Governor. One man wrote him asking
a number of questions about the bill,
to which the Governor replied that he
had better write direct to the proposer
of the bill at Washington. Some Of his
questions were based on a misunder-
standing of the meaning of the bill.
The Governor states he has suggested
number of changes to Mr.. McCrosson
which he adopted 'But the bill is
not my hobby - says the Governor. 81
approve Of it but l am not responsible
for it.
"I think the bill will work ont prac.
tically, as it Is, but in order to make
it more definite, more certain, it might
be well to amend it in some respects to
guard against possible abuses.
''I don t see how any one can oppose
the Kau project unless it is on the
ground that the water should be taken
around Kawaihae way instead of Kau,
on the idea that that would make a
better use of the water. OF course, the
rights of the HilO people should be pro
tected in every case, but that any one
should object to using water in this
way, water that now runs to waste into
the ocean, and not put on arid lands, is
hard to conceive.
"Such project will mean an invest
ment in the ditch itself, together with
reservoirs, Of about $3,OOO,OOO, and
probably an equal investment in devel-
oping the lands in Kau to be irrigated.
That would mean an increase of about
Sc, 100000 in wealth to the country,
and about 100000 year in taxes right
off. 1t would mean an increase in the
production OF the island right along,
and at the end of the period The whole
works would revert To the Territory.
That is not counting the rents that
would come from the lands meanwhile.
elf the bin is too broad now and
too general by all means let it be
amended"

MCCrOsson Bill Said to Be Aimed
at Water Sources OF the
Wahiawa Company.
THE NEWS A BIG SURPRISE
Wahiawa Officers DenOunce Bill
as "Cold-BIoOded Stea" and
Will Fight 1t.
CFrom saturday's Advertiser.l

John 7. McCrosson, according TO pri.
vate advices received from Washington
yesterday, has had introduced into con.
gress a bill to grant him and his asso.
ciates all the water rights on the Leile.
hua military reservation for term of
fifty years.
Taking for granted that this means
an attempt to take from the Wahiawa
Water Company the rights it now en-.
joys on the reservatIon-and the Ian
guage of the cable received admits OF
hardly any other construction-the
news came as staggering surprise to
the shareholders of that company here
and the shareholders of the plantation
benefited by the company's irrigation
system.
The message, which came to Castle
g. Cooke, said:
Delegate introduced bill house,
Clark senate, granting McCrosson
all water rights military reserva-
tion fifty years. Referred war de-
partment.
This, declared Z. D. Tenney, presi.
dent of the corporation which has the
agency of the Wahiawa Water Com
pany, is a cold.bloOded steal, and we
will oppose the passage of the bill to
the fullest EXTENT
If the cablegram correctly represents
the bin being introduced in congress,
and has been correctly interpreted here,
it refers to the water company which
Mr.. McCrosson and associates were
planning to supply Oahu plantation Is
upper cane lands. Their plan was to
tunnel through the Koolau range from
Waikane and Wdiahole sections, and
then develop water and bring it down
to the plantation. Engineer Jorgensen
is now in Switzerland and Italy, look,
ing over the most modern machinery to
develop this work. The water supply
was supposed to come from another
source, however.
The military reservation boundary
ends at the Koolau range on the Wahi
ava side, which is just about opposite
Waikane.
Mr.. Tenney states that the Wahiawa
Water Company depends very largely
upon the fork, within the military res.
ervatiOn for ITS supply, and will fight
to the last ditch to retain its rights
and preserve all its water sources.
Instructions have been sent to the
firm g representative in Washington to
investigate the matter thoroughly and
keep the local people informed.
Delegate Kuhio stated yesterday that
he did not know what the bill was,
and had had it introduced on Mr.. Nc.
Crosson s request. He did not know
whether it was an attempt to control
the water supply of the Wahiawa Water
Company or not. He didn't remember
seeing the bill or draft of it.
The bill was drawn up by the firm
of Thompson, Clemons and Wilder Mr.
Thompson left for Washington on Wed
nesday and was to urge the passage OF
the Kau ditch bill.

COAST SLEUTH
LANDS At LAST
From saturdays Advertiser)

Detective Conlon of the San Fran
cisco police force now has Jue Nov,
the Chinese embezzler who fed to Homo
lulu a few weeks ago, in his own per-
sonal custody.
"It's the old Frisco force that has
ye now, - said genial Tom Conlon to his
prisoner as they left Judge Robinson s
courtroom yesterday afternoon, shortly
after two O'Clock.
Jue Now was again before a judge
on new writ of habeas corpus, brought
by Attorney Claudius Mcbride. Attor.
ney.General Lindsay, for the Territory,
asked that the case go over until today,
in order to give the department an op-
portunity to file its return to the writ.
The request was granted, and then came
the struggle for possession of the
prisoner.
High Sheriff Henry was on hand to
take Jue back with him. Detective
Conlon, Chief McDufiie and Deputy
Rose of the local department were also
there. Jue looked from one to the
other and wondered who would take
him in tow when the proceedings were
concluded.
Conlon made a request for the Gus
tody of the prisoner, and got him. Then
Claudius asked that he be given an or
der so that he could see Jue at all rea'
sonable times. This was granted. Clau.
dius wanted a general order, as he said
he did not want TO go skating all over
the country looking for Conlon.
Conlon looked really satisfied yester-
day, when he found he had Jue in his
own custody,
"Back to Frisco for us soon" he
said with laugh, 20 the crowd in the
courtroom corridor.
olaudius Was Real Anxious.
Mcbride is not making any hit with
the police officials at the police station,
and on Thursday afternoon he is alleged
10 have used such lurid language that
the captain OF the watch ordered him
out Of the station onto the sidewalk.

DR.. BLACK DEMANDS RECOUNT
Dalzell Men Alarmed at Charges of
Fraud at Primaries.

Pittsburs, Pa, June s.-Alleging that he
has discovered traces Of fraud in at least
IS of the III polling districts OF the ThIr-
tieth Congressional district. Dr. Robert
J. Black, opponent Of John DaIzell for
the Congressional nomination, to-day filed
a petition requesting that ballot boxes
from these districts be brought into court
and reopened so the vote may be re-
counted.
The petition has been granted and the
county commissioners are already receiv-
ing the ballot boxes. There is some dis
pute as to the time and place for recount
ing this vote. None of the boxes have
yet been opened.
Black, who has had a host OF detectives
working since the polls opened last Sat
urday. alleges that fraud in each of the
sixty-five districts named was most open.
and that IL an honest count be given
he will be declared a winner over DalZeu
by at least loo votes
The claims of DalzaITs people have
been steadily dropping, until it is now
said his totals viii show less than 200
majority by the official count. The move
made by Black to-day will postpone
counting the vote officially.
The Daizell people. now thoroughly
aroused 10 the gravity of the case. late
this afternoon fled notice that they
would ask a hearing before the county
commissioners before the opening of the
disputed ballot boxes was begun. This
viii likely be granted The last Of the
ballot boxes viii not reach the court
house until some time tomorrow.
