leaves and applied 1t to their bair with
wonderfully beneficial effect, Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-tine,

DRYDOCK CONTRACTOR
LEAVES FOR COAST
G-

Contractor Smith, representing The
San Francisco Bridge Company, left
hurriedly for San Francisco yesterday
on the steamship Mongolia, armed with
blue prints of the Pearl Harbor dry
dock. He is going over to confer with
the head office of the company and to
get in touch with naval officials as well
as suppliers of materials required for
completing the drydock.
Since the contractor found that in
pumping out the enclosed section of the
drydock that the coral bottom was be-
ing forced up by the clay strata under
meath, and the sheath piling also being
raised, a new plan of procedure would
have to be followed TO get firm foun-
datiOn before the concrete could be
laid on.
The water has been allowed to rise
to the level Of the water outside and
there will be nothing doing there until
material for piles arrives. In the in
terim Mr.. Smith found It convenient to
make a hurried trip to the mainland,
but viii be back shortly to take up the
new work, which II Is expected the

IS CLOSED
FOR THE IRWIN SITE

With 5524 names secured on the
petition for a change Of the federal
building site to the civic center from
the Mahuka site, the campaign for this
purpose closed yesterday, although Eve
more petitions are to be returned yet
with approximately 200 names.
Altogether there viii be about 500
names on the petition to be presented
to congress, which is considerably more
than was anticipated by Attorney A.
L. @. Atkinson when he took hold of
the matter two weeks ago.
"It would be easy to get six thou
sand names If it were necessary said
Mr.. Atkinson yesterday, Hfor so many
sent in for petitions and there was such
a unanimity of sentiment in favor of
the Irwin site that there has been no
trouble in getting a good many more
than the number of 5000 which we set
at first as a limit. !"
Figuring out that there were Just
6916 votes cast for all candidates for
delegate to congress at the last election,
Mr.. Atkinson finds that over hve-sev-
enths of the voters of Honolulu are
in favor of the Irwin site for the fed
eral building. And hve-scvenths of an
electorate on one petition is o most
unusual happening.
The plans for the presentation Of the
petition have not been completed, ex-
cept that the petition viii be handled
lat Washington through the Delegate.
The committee in charge Of this cam
paign, consisting of James McInerny,
Frank 2. MeStocker, r. II. Trent, A. J.
q. Atkinson and Representative A. @.
Mareailino, viii meet early this week
and decide, after conference with
Prince Kuhio.
All the members Of the committee
feel that this petition represents more
conelusively tho sentiment Of the PEG.
pie Of Honolulu than any similar effort
has ever shown. and u a factor which
demands consideration.

Under instructions from the board Of
trustees Of the chamber OF commerce,
Secretary II. p. Wood yesterday sent n
cablegram 10 George NJ. Mcclellan, rep
rcsentative Of the chamber at Washing
ton, requesting more information re-
qnrding the proposal Of the war do
partment to concentrate a number Of
regiments on the armory site, better
known as the drillshed lot, in this city.
Members of the board Of trustees
present at the meeting included Presi-
dent James II. Morgan, }. p Cooke,
L. E. Paxton, J. W. Waldron, Z. D..
Tenney, Robert Cation, II. 1. Spalding
and Secretary Wood. Prince Kuhio,
delegate to congress, was also present
by invitation, and it was upon his adj
vice that the cablegram was sent.
A majority of the committee, it is
understood, are in favor Of simply en-
dorsing the plans of the war depart
ment, whatever they may be in regard
to the establishment of a garrison IN
this city, but others feel that sug.
gestion that the soldiers should find
site outside the center Of the city
might carry weight, and it is suggested
| that Fort Shafter or some more open
space along the waterfront would be
better for the soldiers as well as fol
the city.
However, It viii depend entirely
upon the cabled answer expected from
Mr.. Mcclellan, tomorrow or Tuesday
as to what action viii be taken by
the chamber Of commerce and mer
chants association. 1t is possible that
Ia Joint meeting Of the two bodies will
be held early this week, in case it il
seen that action taken here will havt
any effect.
The principal objection to the aTmory
site, from the point Of view of tn,
civilian, is that it win crowd severa
thousand men in a thickly populated
center of the city with Strengthened
quarters, which will be bad for tn
soldiers and tend to boisterousnes
when they are given liberty. The OK
perience of those who know the eli
mate and surroundings is that Their
should be plenty of ground about sue
garrison as proposed.

GREW SAVED.

The American schooner William H.
Marston, which sailed from San Fran
cisco on May IS, at Eve o'clock in the
afternoon, for Honolulu and Pearl Har-
Dor, sprung leak when less than two
days out, and sunk Off the California
coast after the crew had abandoned the
vessel.
When the captain and crew left the
ship yesterday she was water-logged,
but she sank before the crew were out
of sight. According to special dis.
patch received by the local agency Of
the Merchants Exchange last night
the crew was saved by the American
Hawaiian steamship Mexican, which
left Seattle for Honolulu ON the 10th.
The Merchants Exchange cable read
as follows:
s'Marston abandoned waterlogged
yesterday; crew saved Mexican"
The Associated Press cable last night
adds the information that the vessel
sprung a leak and sank off the Coast,
the crew being rescued, but the name
of the rescuing vessel is not mentioned
The William H. Marston left San
Francisco with cargo of lumber and
other materials for the Pearl Harbol

[NGLISH RULE IN /
GARRISON TOWN
Bnfu.AR CONDITIONS NAY De
HIRE As AT MALTA IN
MEDITERRANEAN.

In view Of the fact that Honolulu
may soon become what is generally
known as garrison town, IL will be
interesting to know how matters in this
connection are run under the British
flag. The island Of Malta, in the Mcdi.
lerranean, is a good example Of what
might be expected when Honolulu has
a big square in the center OF the town
in which are housed thousands Of
troops.
The island is about the same sire Is
oahu, and also holds the same relative
position in the Mediterranean Sea as
this Island does in the Pacific. The
proposition of being the key, rs we
are looked on, is n much bigger thing
here, but still something of the same
conditions must exist.
The island of Malta is seventeen
miles long, and has an area of ninety.
FIVE miles, which couple. of nearby
islands raises to III square miles. It
had a population in 1909 of 212,SSS,
and is looked on as one of the most
important ports of call in the world
1t is uesd by the British as a base aad
resort for repair and refitment of their
Mediterranean fleet. Its harbor was
too small as a naval station, and a big
breakwater was constructed to accom-
modate the warships.
