HILO GETTING
HER FULL SHARE

The Territorial administration does
not at all agree with the article under
a Hilo date line appearing in this
mornings Advertiser to the effect that
the Territorial government has been
selling off Hilo's public property at a
prodigal rate and giving Hilo nothing
in return for it, The article enumerat-
ed sales made during the past year or
two, aggregating $2O,116.
Asked about the matter this morn
ing, Governor Frear said:
During the last year the entire pro
ceeds of all sales which could be used
for the purchase of other land at Hilo
amounted to $12,241. One small pur-
chase for county road purposes has
since been made from this fund.- and
there was remaining at the end of the
fiscal year $10,916. We hope to use
this in part for the purchase of Irop-
erty to make out the block needed for
the new $65,000 Union school build
ing, for which we have been negotiat-
ing for long time, and for which we
expect soon to be able to get title. Be-
sides this, during the year we turned
over to Hilo two valuable Territorial
lots for fire stations"
The governor pointed out that all
funds received from the sale of public
lands must, under the law passed two
years ago, be expended for the pur'
chase of other lands in the same coun
ty, or could be applied to the sinking
fund of the Territory. This last, how
ever, has not been done.

in regard to transportation for the
party; since many of our guests find
it impossible to give me definite as
surance of their going, and as an
extension of the session past our date
of departure has now become a pos
sibility, there seems nothing left but
to recall our invitations and cancel
the trip. Unfortunately there is no
later set of steamer sailings both
going and coming that would enable
us to arrange new dates acceptable
to a sufficient number of our guests.

pie of Hawaii that we shall not have

Especial Correspondence Of the starr
WASHINGTON, August 19.-The
congressional junket to Hawaii will
not be made this year, according to
Secretary Mcclellan, who has the
matter in charge for Delegate Kalani-
anaole on account of the failure of Con
gress to reach an adjournment date
in time for arrangements to be com
pleted for the trip. Many members
who had made conditional accept
ances notified Secretary Mcclellan
that they would be unable to arrange
their affairs so as to accompany the
party. So many of these communica-
tons were received the trip has been
abandoned
While plenty of members might be
secured to take the trip to Hawaii,
the intention of the Delegate was to
make up a party of members whose
committee assignments would enable
them to use the information gained
in the intelligent consideration of
Hawaiian measures to be taken mp
during the regular session. 1t has
been found impossible TO make up
such a party on account of the pro
longed session, and the abandonment
followed. Not a single member OF

House Committee on Territories, who
had expected to go, was compelled to
cancel mis- acceptance, along with
Messrs. Man, Floyd, Bradley and 9th
ers.
THE latest sailing date the party
could avail themselves, to allow tor
sufficient time in Hawaii and a return
to meet other engagements of the
members it was intended should go,
would be September 2, and it was
necessary to know some time in adj
vance of this date in order to arrange
for the transportation of the party"
said Secretary Mcclellan to The Star
representative. 1--WE are compelled
to abandon the trip for this summer,
but hope to be able to secure rep
resentative delegation after the ed
iournment of Congress next spring,
The appropriation is available until
used, and it has been the desire of
the Delegate to expend this sum in a
manner calculated to best serve the
purposes for which it was intended
We have been reluctant to abandon
the trip this year, and have held out
until the very last moment, in hopes
j it could be arranged That now

to the belief that the Territory will

GOVERNOR FEARS
ASSASSINATION

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 21.-Po-
licemen are guarding the executive
mansion of Kentucky tonight, assign
ed there at the request of Governor
Wilson. Fears that the historic
house may be set on fire or that food
taken in for the use of the Governors
household may be poisoned are re-
sponsible for the guards.
Some time ago Gov. Wilson dis
charged an employee who worked on
the place. This employee continued
to get his meals from the executive
kitchen until the Governor found 1t
out, and he was ordered from the
place. The next development was

His statement is to the fact that
he heard the whistling of Matthews,
and being under the impression that

with whom he was expecting trouble,
having been threatened, he fired from
the upstairs window in the cabin, with
the result that he killed a man
