Col. McGunnegIe Rules Against
MaSsmeeting but Officers T..
Resent Horne Statement

The army of Oahu is now a closely
knit unit in demanding that the en-
listed men be cleared of the alleged
stigma placed upon them by President
Perley l.. Horne, of the Kamehameha
Schools, when he made the statement
at a public mass meeting that young
Hawaiian girls we're considered the
legitimate prey of soldiers and ad-
venturers from the mainland. The
protest voiced by the soldiers of Fort
Shafter has spread like wildfire
throughout the island posts, and the
officers, from the department COM
mander down to the most recently
Joined second lieutenant are behind
the men in their demand for redress
and fair dealing from the people OF
the city and Territory.
This morning Colonel George X.
McGunnegle, commanding the depart
ment. considered the whole matter
for some time, and finally sanctioned
any action which might be taken by
committees of responsible nOn-cOm-
missioned officers, toward protecting
the personnel and reputation of the
army here and the uniform of the
United States from slander. He did
not. however, sanction the proposed
mass-meeting of soldiers to be held
next sunday night in this city, this
being deemed an unwise move, likely

James Wakefield. president of the
Church Club. this morning said that
he heartily indorses the clubs action
and feels that method is presented
of checking some of the unspeakable
crime concerning which pubic senti-
ment has recently become so strongly
aroused.
The resolutions as passed by the
club will be forwarded to the commit
tees named by Bishop Restatick as
the result of the mass meeting at the
Bijou theatre on the evening of De-
cember I, This committee is author
ized TO consider means of checking
the crimes against women and young
girls, and the establishment of the
whipping-post is one of the means
suggested by the Church Club.
"We realize fully the disagreeable
features involved in carrying out such
suggestion. and members Of the club
lad considered the matter carefully
before action was broached at the
meeting on Tuesday night" said Mr..
Wakefield this morning, but We feel
also that the whipping-post- viii help
to stop this evil and that the greater
good to the community outweighs the
argument against reyerting to what
has been an abandoned form OF pun
ishment." 80
Mr.. Wakefield referred also to the
radical reforms that have been eff
fected in England through the rees-
tablishfent of the whipping-post for
grave offenders.

Rear Admiral Walter Z. Cowles COM
ton since December IA, 1910, has just
received cablod orders which will re-
lieve him from his command here on
Feb. 81 next, and which promote
him to be commander of the United
States Pacific feet The goal of every
flag officer of the navy, to fly his two
starred blue flag aflcat, will have been
reached by Admiral Cowles within a
few months.
While Admiral Cowles expected to
be relieved here some time next sum-
mer, he had no idea what command
was in store for him, or that his Or
ders for sea duty would come so soon
He takes the place of Rear Admiral
w. H. II. Switzerland as chief of
Uncle Sans floating fighters in the
Pacific, his orders being to sal! from
here between the 21st and the 25th
OF February, or as near those dates as
practicable, and to take over the com
1and of the fleet at San, Francisco on
arrival there. IT,.
1t is not known what officer will
hc sent here to assume command OF
the Honolulu naval station, and the
important naval work which is going
on at Pearl Harbor, but the opinion
prevails in local naval circles that
some captain who has made his cap
tain's cruise, and who has two or three
years to wait for his stars, will assume
the reins of government. 1t is posi-
III hnrrny,nF. hof onnfhnP rno oA-
riral will. come to Honolulu.
Busy Time Here. .~. ...' Il
Admiral CowIes has been closely
identified with Pearl Harbor. many
preliminary details of the great nava'
project having been carried out by him.
He has seen the new station grow
from a mere channel dredging project
to one of the most extensive and i'm.
poTtant naval undertakings ever at
tempted by the United States or, any
other government. The drydock,
coaling plant. barracks and industrial
buildings are now we'll on the road
to completion, and within another
year the commandant and other Off,
GERS stationed in Hawaii will be living
at Pearl Harbor. and the yard will be
in partial operation.
Il ain sorry to leave Honolulu,
said Admiral Cowles this morning.
Il like the. place, and like the peo-
pie, and my work here has been some.
CT the most interesting that have
ever had to do during my naval ca
Teer. | am sorry not to see Pearl
Harbor further along toward compile
tion. but when a naval officer is or
dered TO sea duty he goes, and OF
course | am getting fine command.
| shall always feel warm personal
interes: in Hawaii, and | am. sure that
my successor, whoever he may be,
can not help but like the station as
| have liked it,"
Mrs. Cowles and Miss COwles are
expected to return tomorrow on the
transport, after a visit to the main
land. They will probably leave here
with Admiral Cowles. and take up
their residence either in San Fran
cisci, or Washington, D. c., for the
present.
1t is thought that Admiral Souther-
lands relief sooner than was eX'
pected may he due to the splendid
work which he has recently done in
Nicaragua, and that he has been tend
cred the o.:er of some higher COM
mand.

Gently been brought out forcibly that

and laymen will take the matter up.

members of my congregation in the
near future"
Rev. David Cary Peters, pastor of
the Christian church, discussing the
subject this morning, said that his
personal opinion is that if it were
brought before the church congrega-
ton, the sentiment would be largely
in favor of the whipping-post. "Of
course" he said, this is only my per-
sonal opinion as no action of any kind
has been taken, and so far as | am
aware the subject has not been pre-
sented to the members of the church
for any expression of general opin-
ion. Whether it will or not cannot
say at this time, but / think it not
