Kaiser Reviews Great Fleet
KEEL, Germany, September s.
The great German naval fleet was re-
viewed by Emperor William in the
harbor here this morning, thousands
of spectators observing the fleet as 1t
could take to sea tomorrow for action
if necessary. The three newest bat
tleships of the Ostfriesland type did
not join the fleet for the review, as
technically they are still undergoing
trials Though fully completed, these
three 2O,O00-ton warships remained at
anchor in the harbor and saluted the
Emperor as he passed out of the bay
to board the flagship Deutschland.
The vessels of the fleet pulled up
their anchors as the Emperor's yacht
approached and steamed to meet the
imperial reviewing party, every shin

war ship must necessarily have a
displacement of at least 81 900 tons
to resist the terrific recoil.
These plans demonstrate, it is de-
clared, how materially is the evolu-
ton in naval construction and ord
nance in one country controlled by
the progress of others.
With the size and strength of war
ships growing from year to year in
this worldwide endeavor to excel
naval experts are beginning to wonder
when and where the climax will be
reached. The rapid development in
size is demonstrated by the Dread
noughts built or building for the Unit
ed States Navy
The Utah, which has just been
placed in commission, has a displace-
ment of 21,S25 tons; the Arkansas and
Wyoming, which will be completed in
less than year, will be 10000 tons,
while the Texas and New York, the
construction of which was begun only
a few months ago, will be $1,000 tons
With the 10000 and 27,OOO-ton ships
building, the Navy Department is
planning 10 make the displacement Of
the two battleships authorized by
the last naval act 2S,5OO tons That
is certainly not the end, for it is be-
lieved that the next Dreadnoughts will
be at least 10000 tons.
Wyoming Flagship,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-ProbabIy
within a year the battleship Connecti-
cut. Americas most famous flagship,
will surrender the banner of Rear
Admiral Osterhaus, commander in
chief of the Atlantic fleet, to the
dreadnought Wyoming, now nearing
completion, which has been selected
for the signal distinction of being the
flagship of the Nays real force. The
Connecticut was the flagship of the
fleet on the famous cruise round the
world.
Because of this honor much senti-
ment surrounds the Connecticut and It
is with reluctance that the naval Off
cials have decided to displace her as
the flagship Of the battleship fleet.
The Wyoming will have a displace-
ment of 10000 tons, or 10000 tons
greater than that of the Connecticut.

Wrecked Torpedo Boats.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - The
storm which swept the South Atlantic
coast Saturday night left it's imprint
on the navy. Six torpedo boats were
wrenched from their mOorlngs at the
Charleston navy yard and tossed high
upon the beach. 1t is reported that
many buildings of the yard were
wrecked but no lives lost. 1t is re-
ported also that many of the wharves
and sea walls were almost demolished
No estimate of the damage can be
made here because of the interrupted
Geographic service.
The commandant appealed for $780,
600 as an emergency fund with which
to make immediate repairs. Though
this amount will not cover the loss
sustained by the navy, acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Winthrop late to-
day authorized an expenditure of $751;
900 for the most urgent work.
The violence Of the storm is indicat-
ed by its play with the torpedo boats
These form a part of the reserve tor
'pedo fleet and were strongly fastened
to the stall-like wharves of the inner
harbor, but were picked up by the
wind and swept ashore.
Major-General Leonard Wood, chief
Of staff of the army, was notified to-
night that sixty building at Fort
Moultrie, Ca, were damaged by the
storm.

WASHINGTON, September As
soon as some other nation begins to
arm its warships with fourteen-inch
guns-the caliber of the rifles which
compose the main batteries of the
latest designed Dreadnoughts of the

is believed by naval ordnance experts,
will seriously consider the sixteen
inch guns for battleships. The largest

REMARKABLE; PHILADELPHIA TWINS,
ONE BLACK, ONE PERFECTLY WHITE

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2S.-Marie
Boner, aged five months and a few
days, is as black as her heart-of-Af-
RIGA ancestors were. On the other
hand Sallie Boner, likewise aged five
months and a few days, and twin
sister to Marie, is much whittier than
the average Caucasian baby
The case is providing much interest
to the doctors and nurses. They say
that it is nothing more or less than
the unusual but we'll authenticated
atavism or manifestation of a racial
strain that has been submerged for
generations, and finally crops out un-
eXpectedly. The case of Marie and
Sallie is all the more unusual because
of their being twins-one black and
the other white. The doctors declare
that they have records of cases where
a single baby has betrayed the sub
merged strain of another race, but
that atavism has seldom manifested
itself in this manner. Atavism is not
peculiar to any race. The same freak
of nature might develop in the off
spring of white persons.
Marie and Sallie are at this moment
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-09-12

snuggled side by side in a cot in the
day camp of the Chestnut street recre-
alton pier and are oblivious absolute
ly Of the rudely curious visitors who
find them a source of wonderment.
Both are as healthy as children can
be, and their chief recreation lies in
chasing Zach other-liSe two cubs
around their trundle cot and event
ually falling into terrific struggle for
supremacy Maybe race supremacy is
the cruX of their baby antagonism,
and maybe it's merely the joy of be-
ing on the top of the wind-swept pier
away from the sordidness and fetid-
ness of the streets and alleys.
There are many wonderful conject-
ures about Marie and Sallie, Their
mother died when they were born, and
as far as their father knows there
may have been the blood of the white
man in Mamma Bonets veins. Friends
of Mamma Boner say that it must
have been four generations age that
the negro strain was broken.

TAFT ASKED TO MAKE THE
CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW EASIER

SAN FRANCISCO, September q
AS far as the local officials of the
United States immigration service are
aware, President Taft has taken no
action on the memorial submitted to
him several weeks ago by the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce, the
Chinese Chamber of Commerce and
other commercial bodies, complaining
of alleged i'll treatment of Chinese i'm
migrants of both the excluded and the
exempt classes under the exclusion
law.
In this memorial the merchants,
both American and Chinese, criticised
the manner of enforcing the excm-
sion law in this port, and complained
specially of conditions at the immi-
grafton station at Angel island.
Soon after this memorial was for
warded to Washington" said H. e.
Edsell, assistant commissioner of inn
migration, yesterday, the bureau Of
sent a copy of the
charges to this station, with directions
that a report should be made on each
charge. This was done.
Wherever there was anything to
indicate tenability of the charges, It
was explained, and where the charges
were not tenable at all their falsity
was shown.
Some of the conditions complained
of had been remedied before the me-
mortal was submitted. Others were
remedied later The complaint about

The company, with a plan for
'round-the-world service, will obtain,
it is contemplated, hotel holdings in
one or more of the Japanese and Chi
nese cities. Then, with a sea service
such as it now has on the Atlantic,
and the Hotel St. Francis, it will be
in a position practically to monopolize
high class tourist traffic from London
and Paris around the world to New
York.
Plan Long in View.
Such a scheme is said to have been
under consideration by the stockholm
ers of the Ritz-Carlton Company for
more than two years. Their agents
are reported to have been travelling
abroad, closely studying the trend of
travel, and the methods of handling
tourists who pay the best of prices.
In studying the San Francisco hotel
situation while here last week, Albert
Keller said that in no part of the
world were the conditions the same
as in San Francisco. He referred par
ticularly to the mixed class of guests,
and marveled at the way the manage
ments handled at the same time the
man or woman of modest means and
those of wealth and extravagant
tastes.
'If our company takes over the st.
Francis" Keller remarked to a New
York acquaintance one afternoon, at
will have an entirely new experience.
In our hotels our company has paid
attention to nothing but the richer
class of travellers who can afford 10
pay high prices for service, but in San
Francisco l find that your big hotels
are ready to receive all classes of
travellers and give each his full
moneys worth"

poor sanitary accommodations was
true only in petty details. The fire
apparatus is efficient. We have %
watchmen on duty, in shifts, and
fine fire fighting system. The com.
plant about the Chinese not being
permitted to have counsel during their
examinations is unfounded, as they
are allowed counsel, although counsel
are not allowed to cross examine or
to take part in the examination in any
way until an appeal is filed, when
they can participate.
1.-The categorical answers to the
memorial were sent some days ago
to the bureau of immigration, which
summarized them and turned them
over to the secretary of commerce
and labor"
Meantime, no action has been taken
on the memorial by the Washington
authorities.
To a committee representing the
Chinese Chamber of Commerce and
various Chinese commercial compa-
MES, that called upon him Thursday,
Commissioner of immigration Samuel
w P""kus said that his office appre-
ciated the position of the Chinese, and
that, while the statutes would be en-
forced without fear or favor, every
effort consistent with the proper per
Torrance of duty would be made 20
remove just cause of complaint, and
that all applicants for admission to
the United States would be dealt with
fairly and honestly.
