MINNESOTA CONVENTION
ENDS IN A COMPROMISE

st. Paul. Minn-, June H.-The insur-
gents and the stand-patters scored a dog
fall in the Republican State convention
to-day The stand-patters proposed to
indorse the Taft administration. touch
lightly on the Payne tariff law, and
whoop It up for the tariff commission
and the railroad bill. eonfining the rest
OF the platform to State topics
The insurgents demand a plank repu-
dating the Payne law as a population
Of pledges of the Republican national
platform, also a plank expressing uual-
terable adherence to all of the policies
promulgated by Theodore Roosevelt, and
mildly praising Mr.. Taft for his ''patri-
otic efforts to advance legislation for the
benefit of the whole people" but refrain
from indorsing any of his direct admins
trative acts.
Contests over State officers were so
pronounced as to force a spirit OF COM
promise, and the platform finally adopted
after a fight on the convention floor is
a compromise over which neither faction
is enthusiastic. The platform indorses
President Tafts patriotic efforts TO Sc
cure legislation for the benefit of the
whole people" ignores reference TO the
Payne tariff law, applauds the Roosevelt
conservation policies, and commends the
railroad legislation.

election. The ticket nominated wass:

ton: lieutenant governor. Sam Y. Gordon

TO
NAVY BASE:
OF PACIFIC

Although the military officials have
not decided anything definite as to the
suggested Honolulu Pearl Harbor
canal via Kalihi, some word is expect
ed soon from Washington relative to
the matter which was first mentioned
exclusively in The Star a year or SO
ago.
Since the matter was first suggested
a number of prominent officers of both
the Army and Navy have expressed
an opinion that the canal was a neces-
sity in the event of war with foreign
power, as there are times when it
would be hard for the large ships of
our navy to come out of Pearl Harbor
on account of the heavy seas and
strong winds.
Since the work of dredging Pearl
Harbor commenced, the engineers
have found that the bar is constantly
filling up in spite of the work being
done by the sea-going dredge South
Bay, and it is very likely that it will
be an obstacle at all times especially
if the wind happens to be blowing
with any force.
One who is interested, talking about
the proposed canal this morning said;
81 believe that the time is not very
far off when we will see the actual
work of digging it, as it is something
that the authorities in Washington are
bound to authorize in spite of the re-
ports against the idea.
"In the event of war with a foreign
nation it would be a great help to
the navy to have an inland waterway
and If the weather outside should be
so bad that it would be risk to take
some of the ships with big freeboard
out through the channel, the ships
could use the canal which, in my
opinion, could be built without a very
large outlay.
From what l have been told, the

A quick trip was made to the hos

he was very good at the job and the
cause of the accident was given as n

for the unfortunate man, although
they will be unable to determine the
exact nature of his injuries until ne

bar at the entrance to Pearl Harbor

if this continues. it will be necessary

There is plenty of water in Kalihi

be used for some good purpose, and
with some dredging the harbor would
be able to hold a number of big ships

AS a result of thirty-foo fall from
tree this morning at the residence
of Mrs. Duncan, ON Aud lane, her
Russian yardboy is likely to die. The
Russian, whose name could not be
learned by the police. was sent up
tree by his employer to cut some of
the overhanging branches for kindling
wood, and while saving off one OF
the limbs lost his hold and fell to the
ground below Mrs. Duncan and sew
eral of her neighbors were in another
part of the yard at the time of the ac-
cident, and when they arrived at the
foot of the tree they found the man
lying unconscious. A hurried trip
was made to the nearest telephone to
summon the wagon from the police
station, and by the time the wagon
arrived Mrs. Duncan had decided that
the best thing to do was to send her
servant to the Queens hospital for
treatment, he being still unconscious.
