SECRETARY OF WAR
ORDERS SETTLEMENT
OF PEARL HARBOR LINES

The chief of United States military
engineers in this strategic Territory,
Major Winslow, is in receipt today of
cable advices from the secretary of
war at Washington to the effect that
there must be taken up at once in Ha-
waii the question of what are to be
the harbor lines in the coming great
naval base of Pearl Harbor
This means that within a very short
time there will be settled the matter
of just what waters in Pearl Harbor
are nayigable waters. in the legal
sense of the term, just what waters
are sacred to the use of the govern
ment, and just what waters private
owners may be permitted to use for
wharves, docks, ietties, piers, ap-
proaches and private moorings.
Many wealthy estates are involved.
It is the custom of the United States
in matters of this kind to call for pub
lie hearings in order to give private
or corporate owners an opportunity TO
discuss with the authorities what
each consider to be the respective
rights of the other. The United States,

California millionaire, by Lillian

incidentally added to the sensations Of
the case by taking a shot at Baldwin

The old suit against Baldwin was
knocked out, it is claimed, largely by
the evidence contained in letters
which passed between the gay old
millionaire and the fair plaintiff i'll the

In announcing a tentative reduc-

effective Aug. /. II has served notice
on the companies that they must

that its reasonable demands are en-

The public is greatly interested In

but the public which is chiefly the
source as well as the beneficiary Of
the carrying trade is the paramount

This piece of sleight4of-hand may
not be apparent at first sight. If a

rate, more so pound packages would
