M'CROSSON BILL
is kept ALIVE
Secretary Mcclellan Writes Mer-
chants Association Regard
ing Vexing Measure.

The merchants association have
received word from Secretary MeClel-
Ian OF the final disposition Of the Lei
lehua water bill for the session, the
situation being that the status quo is to
be preserved for future action and the
matter taken up later for disposition.
While the secretary Of war asked that
the McCrosson bill be not passed, he
at the same time asked that it be not
killed. Mr.. McClellan's letter is;
"Dear sirs;-The secretary of war
has now made ms report to congress
on the pending bill to grant certain
water rights of waanae-uka to John
.T. MeCrosson.
'The report of the secretary includes
the offer submitted by Mr.. McCrosson
and by the wahiawa Water Company
respectively. After discussing the
question in general the secretary states
that Mr. McCrosson offer is the most
advantageous to the government, but
luilutI bdNH lndb db ~ ID bNAutHb budb
the water rights of the government are
exceedingly valuable that he recon-
mends that no action be taken by this
congress pending an investigation
which they will have made to ascertain
the value of the governments rights.
''The secretary discussed at length
the briefs submitted by attorney for
the Wahiawa Water Company, but he
denies that any water rights whatever
were secured to the Wahiawa Water
Company by act of congress Of Febrl-
airy, 1909, holding in effect that the
government will be free to make any
disposition it chooses with the surplus
water after the expiration of the Dow
sett lease.
"While asking that the McCrosson
bill be not passed, the. secretary also
recommended that it be not rejected
in other words it is to go over, with.
out prejudice, for further investigation
"The Delegate will ask to have this
report printed and copies will be mailed
you as soon as available. This ends the
matter for this session of congress. f"

BARRY FORCED TO
SEND RESIGNATION

WASHINGTON, January 27.-By
direction of the President, Rear Ad-
miral Edward r. Barry, the former com
mander in chief of the Pacific fleet, to-
day submitted his resignation for the
good of the service. 1t was immediate
ly accepted. The enforced resignation
is the outward growth of charges which
have been in circulation affecting the
moral character of the naval officer.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer an
nounced that on instructions from the
President he telegraphed last night to
Admiral Barry asking that he submit
his resignation. The resignation sever
ing the officers connection with the
American navy after forty-fve years Of
active service, was received today and
his name was at once stricken from the
list of naval officers. This action natur-
ally terminated his salary from the
government.
In response to telegraphic request,
Admiral Barry was placed on the retired
list of the navy January IA, several
months in advance of the date on which
he would have been retired by operation
of law. His right to seek voluntary re-
tirement was his privilege under the
law permitting such action after forty
years service.
The secretary of the navy took up
the request with the President and it
was promptly approved. Later, how
ever, reports began to emanate from
San Francisco that Admiral Barry s re-
tirement was forced by demand that
he resign on account of alleged sean
dalous conduct. 1t was added that the
officers of the cruiser West Virginia,
Admiral Barry's flagship, were not
satisfied with retirement, but insisted
on his resignation. The secretary of the
navy took cOgnizanee of the reports and
called on Captain Orchard of the West
Virginia for formal statement, mean.
while ordering Admiral Barry to remain
in San Francisco until further orders.
Captain Orchards report was re.
ceiyed by the navy department several
days ago, when II was submitted to the
President, and the enforced resignation
followed.

Continued from Page Onel
The Filipino who escaped from the
planters shed was rccaptured the same
evening by the Filipino officer OF the
staff, who was detailed by the chief
20 search the Filipino settlements for
him. Instead of going around the
known haunts Of tho islanders, how
ever. the officer went directly to the
planters shed where he found his man,
who had returned TO sleep there, and
who would most likely have again
jumped the fence in the morning, hav-
ing found a means Of egress. He gave
his name as Manuel de Cruz.

TIE man was arrested and taken to
the police station where he is now held
without charge. Az he is afflicted with
traehoma, the reason of his inearcera-
ton in'the planters shed, Doctor Pratt,
president of the board of health was
sent for, and expressed his satisfac-
tion that the man had been put where
he was, a he considered him ''bad

There are now number of Fill.
pinos confined in the planters shed,
all OF them afflicted with some ailment,

stated yesterday that the majority of
these would not be deported. Treatment
is being given them under supervision

The street car service managed well,
and only on the Waikiki run was any
stoppage reported. Some of the other
lines appeared to be in a bad way, but
the company kept right up to its sched-
ule throughout.
The Oahu railway was blocked dur,
ing the morning, and two of the trains
were delayed. One of them was over
forty minutes late reaching its desti-
nation and the other about a quarter
Of an hour. A report was current in
town that part of the line had been
damaged, but as the service was con-
tinued throughout the day without fur

no truth in the story.
The tourists in town were treated to

it was also raining just MS hard, but
the sun was shining brightly all the

was plenty of liquid about it, however,

SEARCHING FOR
NEW SECRETARY
Proper Successor to Morton
Proves Hard Man for PoIlti-
clans TO Lay Hands On.
CBy Ernest o. walker-)

(Mail Special 10 The AdYertiser.)
President Taft's search for a new
secretary in place of Charles d. Norton,
about to retire, interests Washington in
very comprehensive way. The pol
iticians are on the qui vive about it.
The change has significance in connec-
ton with the presidential campaign. It
also has significance with respect to the
transaction of a great volume of bust
ness that senators and representatives
have at the White House.
The announcement that Secretary
Norton is TO retire was coupled with
another that his successor was chosen
long ago. That is taken with some al
lowance for it is known that the Presi.
dent wants to be relieved of any
representations that might be made to
him regarding available men for that
office. Anyhow the curiosity is very
keen to know who will preside IN the
outer rooms of the White House offices
for the next two years,
Secretary Norton's tenure has been
brief, as compared with his predecessors
of the last twenty years. He is very
well meaning young man, who came to
the place with the best of intentions
and laboring under conditions that were
and would have been embarrassing to
any man. He was tyro at politics, al
though the duties of the office involve
many intricate political matters which
have a bearing upon the popularity and
success of the President whom he
serves.
1t is very essential for secretary to
have the confidence and esteem of
senators and representatives, who are
ever laundering at the office doors. He
must, in a measure, speak their language.
Mr.. Norton was at a disadvantage
in that regard. The President was will
ling that his new secretary should take
off his shoulders many political burdens.
Secretary Norton sprung vigorously to
that task and did much work very salts
factorily to the President. Probably
it was unfortunate that an idea was al.
lowed to go abroad that he would act as
sort of "assistant President.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1911-02-07
Regular or 1nsurgont.

have placed in the secretary's Office
some politician of their own stamp. 1t
is question whether that would be
very popular. The Insurgents who
must always be mentioned and consider
ed in every political proposition at
Washington nowadays, would take Of
Tense thereat. The political difficulties
of the office are demonstrated, when it
is remembered that Secretary Norton
had, and probably still has Insurgent
leanings, and yet. hard as he has striven
to obtain a measure of recognition for
the Insurgents, he has by no means sue
ceeded in winning their friendship
The present Secretary has been cred
tied with antagonizing certain members
of the cabinet. Washington has be-
lieved that he was ambitious to succeed
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
and also to GUST Postmaster General
Hitchcock. His activities in that re-
speet probably have been over emphasiz.
ed but members of the cabinet note the
newspaper comment about such matters
and are just as human as other folks in
their consequent resentment.
A Good Salary.
The efforts on foot at the Capitol to
obtain salary of $4,000 for the secre
tary to the President indicate that be
wants to obtain seasoned man, who
already has some prominence in public
life and must be given quite a salary
| before he will consent to serve. The
present salary is $4,000 year, to which
figure it was raised some three years
ago. having been $4,000 for a long period
Generally a comparatively young mar
has been chosen and most often he has
been a man who was not earning large
compensation. The position is undoubt
eddy one Of much responsibility, es
peeially calling for tact and resource
fulness.
