JONAH KUHIO HAS NO IN
FLUENCE IN CONGRESS

If Kuhio is such mighty man at
to obtain for his aunt, eX-Queen Liliuo-
kalani, that $25O,OOO that he has for
several years been trying to getY
To hear Kuhio and the other Repub-
licans tell it, all he has to do is to ask
for anything he wants and he gets it
promptly. Everybody at Washington,
they claim is his friend, and any little
thing he asks for, such as few million
dollars for the dredging and fortifca-
tion of Pearl Harbor or the fortifcation
of Diamond Head, or appropriations for
breallwaters and harbor improvements,
is promptly handed over to him with
the thanks of Congress for his having
condescended to ask for it.
That is the Republican side. That is
what Kuhio claims But what about
that $250,000 for Liliuokalani? 1t is
only measly little quarter of a million,
yet Kuhio, nephew of the Queen has in
all the years he has spent in Congress.
been unable to get it or any part of it
for his aunt. That is just about how
strong Kuhio is at Washington
Congress has indeed appropriated
millions for Hawaii-but not because
Kalanianaole asked for it. The millions
would have come just as quickly if Ku-
hio had never seen Washington, even if
Hawaii had had no delegate at all Ku-
hio has no influence at the National
Capitol. He is tolerated rather as
mild joke than for any other reason.
Those who come in contact with him
during the session quickly discover that
he knows nothing of the duties of his
Office and couldn It perform them if he
did know anything about them. Per-
haps his private secretary, Mr.. McClel-
Ian, may be able to help him out once
in a while-but what's the use of hav-
ing delegate who is incapable of per-
forming his duties? Why not elect
man who does not have to rent his
brains-to hire his thinking done for
him?

tiles at Washington the appointment of
another and entirely inexperienced
man. This merely for political and per-
sonal reasons. What the people of the
community want is matter of no mo-
ment whatever to Governor Walter
Francis Frear. Is not he the whole gov
ernment? And is not his will law in
the land, even though it be not order?
Now it appears that Albert Judd af-
ter consulting with his bosom friend
and ellow-conspirator, Frear, has also
gone over to the enemy and is using
whatever influence he possesses against
Drake.
But brakes friends, many Of whom
are staunch Republicans have taken up
the cudgels in his defense and are out
after the scalp of one Albert Judd, with
more than fair chance of getting it.
They say that if Judd opposes the re-
appointment of Drake, they will oppose
the election of Judd. Judd is none too
strong politically as it is, and with this
additional tide to stem, his chances of
election appear mighty slim.
All of which is good for the Demo-
Gratis. The Republican party was badly
split before and every additional split
hurts their cause and helps that of the
Democrats.

REPUBLICANS SPLIT
ON COLLECTORSHIP

The internal revenue collectorship is
rock upon which the Republican craft
has bumped and which bids fair to
wreck the political career of some Of the
leading Republican crew.
One of those who is liable to find him
self struggling in the waters of defeat
because of this matter is Albert Judd,
Republican candidate for the Senate.
Mr.. Judd, following the illustrious ex-
ample of his friend and mentor, Gov
ernor Frear, appears to have been try
ing to execute the double-cross, and the
results may prove disastrous to him
self.
The Republican campaign committee
recently endorsed the present incumb-
ent, Walter F. Drake, for the position,
as has also the business community of
Honolulu.
But Governor Frear, according to his
usual contemptuous custom, has butted
into the game and, though it is none of
his business, has taken it upon himself,
it is reported, to urge upon the author

HOW IS THIS
FOR REPUBLICAN CALL?

United States District Attorney Rob-
ert w. Breckons. a Republican. who was
chairman of the Republican county con-
vention, and is supposed to be good
Republican, and whose example is sup
posed to be of same value, actually has
the face to acknowledge that he has pc
rused all wireless messages which pass
ed through the Kahuku station during
a period of forty eight hours.
Think of it ! There is nothing sacred
from the prying eyes of this man, who
sets himself up as holier than anybody
else for the sake of notoriety in opium
detective work. 1t is his business to
prosecute, not to play detective, and
even if it were his business to play de-
tective, by what right does he read your
private messages and my private mes
sages sent over the wireless?
This is what the Bulletin an admirer
OF this Breckons, and Republican pa
per, has to say about the shameful piece
of sneakwork:
"Brecllons denies the story that one
of his men had disabled the Kahuku
wireless station so that no message
could go through to the Mongolia warn
ing Ferreira of his impending arrest
(on charge of smuggling opium), but
HE DOES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
NO MESSAGES HAVE PASSED
THROUGH THE STATION FOR THE
PAST FORTY-EIGH HOURS WHICH
HE HAS NOT SEEN"
How's that for clean work? How's
that for your model Republican? How's
that for a chairman of Republican
county convention? How's that for a
United States District Attorney who is
supposed to use brains and not such il
legal trickery in the prosecution of
crime?

CASE AGAINST GOLDEN
RULE CHIEF FALTERS
Testimony of ACCuserS of CIeve-
lands Police Head Falls
Flat at Trial

CLEVELAND, June 1.-The second
day of the trial of Chief of Police Fred
Kohler Clevelands Golden Rule
chief" on charges of immortality, in
toxication and INSTRUMENTATION, was IA
vorable for the defense.
The prosecution put on the stand
their star witness, a woman who was
expected to prove the more serious
charges of immortality. In substance,
all the testimony she gave was that
she had once seen Chief Kohler drink
ing wine in a disorderly house.
The next most important witness was
Patrick J. Brown, a former policeman
at Muncie, Ind, and one of the two
men who signed the charges. Brown
complained that on one occasion when
his automobile had been stolen Kohler
refused to listen to his complaint and
had ordered him out of his office.
On cross examination he admitted he
had bet money on the result of the
trial and that he had also made a bet
of $50 in January that he would get
Kohler yet

HAMILTON MAY PLAN A
TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT
Aviator Suggests Trip from New
York to Chicago for a
Prize of $4,000

NEW YORK, June 1.-Charles K.
Hamilton, the aviator who was first
to suggest the offering of $4,000 as the
prize of an aeroplane flight between
New York and Chicago and who vol
unteered a subscription of $4,000 toward
the project, believes the time soon VIII
come when some aviator will succeed
in crossing the Atlantic in an aero
plane. This prophecy he made follow
ing his statement that he would be a
competitor for the New York Chicago
prize, which he says he does not con-
slider too difficult.
The transatlantic problem will
come next" he continued, land cross
ing the Atlantic In the air would be a
greater feat than that of Columbus.
The expense of a trip across the At
lantic rather than the risk of life IN
volved is the one factor which Is keep
ing aviators from attempting the pass
age.
ut would require a large machine
with capacity for great quantity OF
gasoline. The Atlantic could be crossed
at it's narrowest point, which is about
1850 miles, in twentyfour hours.
zone of the requisites for such a trip
Is a fast boat build especially for such
trip, which could develop and sus-
tain a speed of from forty to fifty knots
an hour. While such a motorboat could
not keep up with the aeroplane, the lat
ter could make circles in the air and
fly back every time it got too far
ahead"
Hamilton will go to Chattanooga,
Tenn, later in the month for series
of government aeroplane tests. He is
twenty mine years old and is possessed
of an Independent fortune. He is a
graduate of the Sheffield Scientific
school at Yale and is lineal descend
ent of Alexander Hamilton.

by BloWup
NO DAMAGE CLOSE TO PLACE

OGDEN, Utah. June -Four hun
dred kegs of powder were discharged
prematurely today in the quarry of
the Union Portland Cement company
near the Devils Slide in Weber can
yon eight miles east of Morgan.
Seventeen laborers are missing, and
il is believed all were killed in the eX-
plosion. Those missing include the
Foreman Hugh Mcclure, seven Ital-
ians, seven Hungarians and two Jap
anese.
The force of the explosion broke
windows in the settlement at DEVILS
Slide and legs, arms and heads of the
missing workmen were found on the
hillside across the canyon, 100 yards
from the quarry.
The body of Hungarian was hurled
out of the tunnel with such force that
1t cut a telegraph pole in two.
A tunnel had been driven into the
hill above the cement plant and 400
kegs of powder placed therein. The
workmen were preparing to seal the
chamber preliminary to firing the
mine when the powder exploded.
A curious feature of the explosion
was that no damage was done to the
company buildings in the Immediate
vicinity, but windows in ranch houses
far distant were shattered.
Telephone and telegraph wires were
torn down and the first news of the
accident was sent to Morgan by cour-
Ter.
It will take q week or more to re-
store the tunnel

HEAVY LIQUIDATION IN
THE RAILROAD STOCKS

NEW YORK, June 1.-SpeculatiVe
holders of stocks today showed their
alarm over the injunction against west
ern trunk line rate increases obtained
by the government and liquidation in
the market was heavy.
over a million shares had been sole
before 1 o'clock, and such declines haG
been forced as ~ points in st. Paul,
AZ in Louisville and Nashville, A 3-S in
Union Pacific and Reading, and be-
tween 2 and 4 for most of the active
railroad stocks. Industrials were less
acutely affected.
Bears operated very boldly and had
to bid up prices to cover their shorts
in the latter part of the day, resulting
in violent rallies, running to points in
Reading.
The closing tone was slightly irregu-
lar and unsettled, but with no resump-
ton of the early Generalization.
