Holly Denies Report That He Is
Preparing to Present His
Resignation.
WILL FACE INVESTIGATION
Declares He Will Never Retire
Under Fire and Defies
Affidavits.

WASHINGTON, January ia re-
port that Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger was prepared to resign rather
than face the investigation which has
resulted from the various disagree
ments the secretary has had with the
former chief of the forest service was
IN circulation here yesterday. The re-
port was based principally upon the
seriousness of the affidavit made by
Representative Hitchcock, accusing the
secretary of the misapplication of pub
lie funds entrusted to him.
Secretary Ballinger, when question.
ed as to the truth of the report, replied
hotly in denial of it. He stated that he
would never consider such a step as
resignation so long as he was under
fire, and that he would face his ac.
cusers before the investigating com
mittee.

COMET VISIBLE ON
THE TWENTY-F|FTH
Professor Donaghho Computes
the Time When Expected
Traveller Will Appear.

According to the computations of
Professor Donaghho, of the College of
Hawaii, Halley's comet will first be.
come visible about January %. From
then until March 20 the comet will be
visible, though probably not to the
naked eye. Between March 81 and April
the comet will be behind the sun, and
therefore not visible.
pass from behind the sun and will be
visible mornings, gradually growing
brighter. By April 10 it -,lll probably
be visible to the naked eye. On May
10 the comet will be nearest to the
earth, the distance between the bodies
at that time being computed as 14,9O0,-
900 miles.
Professor Donaghho has prepared a
chart showing the relative positions of
the comet and the earth between now
and May 49, This chart will be on dis
play in the window of The Advertiser
office.
The orbits of earth and comet are
both drawn to scale, the latter from
computations based on Cowell and
Crommelin S elements, which are Civ
ing the positions almost exactly as tney
are observed.
The comet will be invisible. even
with telescopes, for period near March
26, when it will appear in a quarter of
the heavens very near the sun. The
limits assigned to this period on the
model are not, of course, intended to
be exact.
Plotted in full, to the same scale. the
orbit Of the comet would reach 20 feet
. inches in the direction of the black
line from the position for April 20,
through the sun, and would have a
maximum width of feet inches.
The growth and disappearance of the
tail at the last appearance is crudely
in dicated, from March 13 to April 10.

"NNASaaag
DR.. John Aicherley, his string of med.
cal afiixes, his wife Mary and their six
children, left the Territory of Hawaii
last night at twenty minutes past six

son liner Lurline, en- route for San

The Atcherleys will leave for Tahiti
from San Francisco on the first avail.
able steamship. Mrs. Atcherley has
relatives in the French island, and they
will begin life anew, and possibly in
the town of Papeete they will not be
troubled with voices issuing from sewer
pipes.
The doctor was released from the
insane asylum yesterday on ninety
days parole, signed by the chairman
of the commissioners, Judge Alexander
Lindsay. When it was learned that the
Atcherleys really intended going to Ia.
hiti, leaving the Hawaiian Islands for
ever, DIR. Peterson, superintendent of
the asylum, made application to the
commissioners for parole. The time
limit on the parole was set at ninety
days, and if the doctor was still in the
Territory after ninety days the asylum
authorities would have the right to
place him in detention again.
When the doctor and his family went
aboard the Lurline they were bedecked
with leis, and the doctor looked jaunty
in new clothes and fedora hat set
rakishly on one side Of his head. He
looked well, and appeared to have gain.
ed flesh and strength since being under
the charge of Doctor Peterson.

its volume increased fortyfold. Some
other comets have also shown puzzling
eccentricities. One broke up into five
small comets, which pursued parallel
paths. The tail Of a second showed
kinks, as if it had been hit in the side
by an invisible body. 1t is not unusual
for comets to have two or more tails,
and at least one has been observed
which threw out lateral branches The
nature of the forces acting within and
without the comet which produce these
strange effects is so imperfectly known
that astronomers are eagerly awaiting
the exceptional opportunity now at
hand for obtaining new clews. If, in
addition to noting every alteration in
shape, the astronomers devote atten-
ton to the spectrum of the comet, they
will unquestionably gain fresh hints Of
its composition. Perhaps a year hence
better classification will be made on
the basis of materials than has previ-
ously been practicable.
Photography, unknown in 1885, has
given the astronomer assistance of i'm
mense value. It furnishes permanent
records of fleeting phenomena. 1t makes
possible the multiplication of copies of
the original picture and leaves the ex-
pert free to examine deliberately feat
ures which may at any moment disap-
pear from the telescope view Besides,
it preserves with absolute fidelity de-
tails which even the most skilful artist
could not hope to reproduce with the
pencil. How Haley and Herschel
would have envied the present genera
ton of their successors if they could
have foreseen this advanced

of for an hour during the months of
its greatest visibility next year, and
in order to fill gap which might other

The value of concerted action in the

then underwent astonishing changes of
form. Under the influence of solar heat
it gradually developed tail which at
one time had length of thirty de-
grees, or one-sixth of the span of the
visible heavens. While the head was
still on the way to the sun the tail
entirely disappeared. Subsequently the
nucleus grew enormously. In single

Is Expected to Cable Taft That
He Will No Longer Retain
the Position.
SAM PARKER MAY BE NAMED
Boom for Mott-Smith, but He
Will Leave Office When His
Chief Does.
tFrom wednesday s Advertlser.l

Governor Frear still maintains the
enigmatic silence of the sphinx on the
resignation question. When asked
whether or not he intends to resign,
al have nothing to say" is still his
reply.
But it now looks very much as if the
Governor intends to get out. His re-
fnsal TO deny the rumor of his intention
to resign would alone be enough to
indicate that he has at least not made
mp his mind to stay on the job, and
it is very strongly believed that he will
quit. Strong efforts have been made
by some of his friends to induce him
to retain his position and carry out the
land policy which he has been so care
fully outlining for himself, but their
efforts are probably unavailing That
the Governor has already cabled his
resignation is more than doubtful, but
that he will send it, either by mail or
cable, appears more than probable.
The principal question still remains
not "Will the Governor resign3" but
"When will the Governor reslgn7n He
may quit at once, or he may hold on
for while until matters become more
settled, but sooner or later he will
probably get out.
Sam Parker Mentioned.
If the Governor does resign at this
time, there is rumOr that Sam Parker
may be named to succeed him. Parker
is now in Washington, with Kuhio and
Frank Thompson. He has large num-
ber of influential friends in the admin
istration and among the members of
congress- and Thompson himself, if he
sets out to work for Parker, would
prove host in himself.
Parker was once offered the gov
ernorship by President Roosevelt, SC
the mention of his name in that con
neetion again can not come as great
surprise.
Delegate Kuhio is also thought to
be possibility, in case of the resig'
nation of Frear.
Mott Smith Boom.
Yesterday, before the opinion began
TO form that the Governor would not
obey first impulses and resign, there
was quite little Mott-Smth boom for
the gubernatOrial position under way.
1t was generally conceded that the
present Secretary of the Territory
would be a logical and qualified can
didate for the gOvernorship, in the
event of a resignation, and the only
snag in view appeared TO be the ideG
that Mr.. Mott.Smith's IS resignation
would probably follow the Governor {
and any offer of advancement would
be declined.

GAS PEOPLE SLIGHT THE
MUNICIPAL LAWMAKERS

The gas company is willing to COM
ply with the county regulations re-
garding the tearing mp of streets and
is perfectly willing to take out permits
for all excavation work, but it objects
as required by ordinance. This is the
gist of a verbal report made last night
by Supervisor Quinn.
Quinn, as chairman of the road com
mittee, was appointed to interview the
company and find what it intended
doing in regard to the ordinance. This
was after the company had laid gas
main on permit from the superin-
tendent of public works without TAX
ing the trouble to communicate with
the municipal authorities.
The matter came up again last night
when a communication was received
from the gas company stating that it
intended laying n main on Dowsett
lane and announcing that the company
would give careful consideration to
any suggestions which the board might
care to make. The gas people did not
ask the board 8 permission, however,
but carefully stated that the superin-
tendent of public works had issued a
permit.
The road committee was commission
ed with the task of seeing that the
ordinance is enforced.

County Physician Mackall reported
that during the six months ending De-
