OIL CLAIMANTS
ARE SUPPORTED

WASHINGTON January 19.-Judge
Franklin Pierce, First Assistant Sec
rotary of the Interior Department, in
a statement made before the Senate
Committee on Public Lands which Is
hearing representatives of the Califor
MIA Oil Association in support of Sen
ator Flints remedial bill unqualified
ly recommended the passages Of the
measure.
This unlocked for Endorsement was
highly gratifying to the representa-
tives from the West. Pierce recently
visited California and investigated
conditions there. He informed the
committee that while he had not rem
dered any decision on the Bakersfield
pure oil case, in which the question
of applying the yard decision to oil
lands taken under the mineral laws Of
the United States was raised, he was
strongly convinced that the principle
of the decision should be applied 10
oil lands. He, however, qualified that
statement in regard to the oil situa-
ton in California, and recommended
that remedial legislation be passed.
Judge Frank T. Short, of Fresno
Thomas O'Donnell, ]. NJ. Dunn, Lewis
W. Andrews and Senator Frank p.
Flint appeared before the committee
Judge Short discussed the legal phase
of the bill, and during the limited
hearing Chairman Knute Nelson and

WHY BUGLER HORNS SICK
CALL" UPSET THE NAVY

In the Island of Guam, early in
January, 1910, a trumpeter of the
United States Marine Corps, Horn by
name, placed a bugle to his lips and
sent forth the sick call" The sound
fioated across the plaza and through
the windows of the Governors pal
ace, and grated harshly upon the
musical ears of the Governor, Capt.
Edgar j. Dorm, of the United States
Navy.
1t was not a welcome sound to a
sick Governor. 1t made a well Gov
ernor sick, and in consequence this
same "sick CALI is now echoing
round the world in the reports of the
proceedings of the court martial, sit
ting at the Philadelphia Navy Yard,
trying Major Henry C. Davis, U, s,
M. c. on four direct charges and
about twenty specifications.
Before the final adjournment, when
Major Davis will either be cashiered
from the Marine Corps or else vindi-
Gated, these few false notes in the
bugle call of Trumpeter Horn will
cost the United States Government a
thousand dollars each.
They have been responsible for the
bringing of the accused and a wit
ness from the Island of Guam to
this city. Other witnesses have been
summoned from Washington, d. c.,
Wilmington, N. c., and Japan, not
counting the nine members compris-
ing the court who came from various
naval stations along the Atlantic
coast, and the court stenographers,

GET TOGETHER"

At this afternoons meeting of the
trustees of the chamber of commerce
there may come up the proposition of
endorsing the name of A. G. NJ. Rob
ertson for the office of chief justice,
for such is the talk among some of
those identified with the chamber. In
line with this latter idea, there is talk
among business men, some of whom
are members of the chamber, to the
effect that now is none too early for
Honolulu people to get together for
unanimous endorsement of local man
to succeed Judge Robertson as federal
Judge in the event of the appointment
of the latter as chief justice.

TABLET
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

Yesterday Superintendent of Edu-
cation Pope received a framed copy of
a picture of the Lincoln memorial
bronze tablet adopted by the Grand
Army of the Republic. This, as is
well-known, contains an extract from
the famous speech delivered by Lin
coin at Gettysburg on November 10,
1868. 1t was resolved by the Grand
Army of the Republic at its forty first
national session to have a copy of
this speech placed in some form in
every school and public building
throughout the United States. The
copy handed to Mr. Pope is for the
Mckinley High School, and was hand
ed over yesterday on behalf of John
W. Francis from the George W. De
Long Post, No. As, G. A. r. This pic
ture Will be presented to the school
Immediately.

brought from Washington at the ex-
pense of Uuncle Sam.
When these aforesaid rancorous
bugle notes smote the ear of the
Governor, he Immediately reported
the matter to the trumpeters com
mandant, Major Davis. Gov Dorm
knew Major Davis's house was too
far away to detect the falsities. Ma
jor Davis reprimanded the bugler and
had him punished by causing him to
play the calls repeatedly until he got
them correct.
In this way the matter was temper
arily adjusted, but when the offense
was repeated, Gov Dorm decided on
more drastic measures against Trum-
peter Horn, and he issued an order
making the officer of the day respon-
sible for all "slovenly" bugle calls.
This, too, gave the Governor tenn
porary relief, but only temporary,
for he was displeased by this same
veXation and annoyance, or to use
his own words, "slouchiness" of the
bugle calls. He therefore suspended
the officer of the day, who was Lieut..
Reginald Ludlow, for three days,
Lieut.. Ludlow shortly after this
was notified by the Navy Depart
ment that he was to come up for
examination for promotion. Knowing
that the suspension would prove de-
trimental to him in the examina-
ton, he petitioned Major Gen. G. F.
Elliot, Commandant General of the
Marine Corps, with headquarters in
Washington, D. c., for the removal
of this suspension from his record.
The rules of the navy require that
all such letters be sent through the

STEAMERS ON THE
WAY TO HONOLULU

The wireless operator on the Mat.
son liner Lurline sent through details
Of the passengers, cargo and mails on
board the vessel last night, Castle and
Cooke receiving the message this
morning. The Lurline at $3.50 p. m.
was 1885 miles from port, enjoying
winds and smooth sea prevailing. The
vessel has So passengers on board but
only one sack of mail matter, the
Coast mail coming over on the Sierra.
She has upwards of 400 tons of
freight of which 5000 tons are for
Honolulu, $50 tons for Kahului and
900 tons for Port Allen She also has
ten automobiles. All were well on
board when the message was sent
and the captain expects to bring the
steamer in on Saturday morning, no
time being stated
The Sierra Fast Trip.
The Oceanic liner Sierra is making
fine progress across the Pacific, her
run for the twenty-four hours pre-
ceding eight o'clock last night aggre-
eating 397 miles, which works out at
an average rate of 16 IL miles per
hour. This is certainly going some,
though it does not equal the twenty
four hours run of 400 miles which
the Sierra made on a previous trip.
At the time of wirelessing, the vessel
was only SCI miles from port, which
is thirteen miles nearer than she
has ever been at the end of the Sec
ond days run from San Francisco.
Though the liner is ahead of time it
is not expected that she will make
port earlier than usual, as there is
nothing to be gained by bringing the
vessel in before six o'clock on Fri
day, at which time she can be ex.
pected off port Fresh northeast winds
moderate sea and fine clear weather
were the conditions when the message
was sent. The barometer stood at
30 "a and the thermometer at Ga, the
temperature being considerably higher
than on the previous day.
