Writes Vaudeville Sketch.

A sketch written by Simmons lis
dale and New York friend, Mr.. Shan
non, was accepted by well known
vaudeville team recently, much to the
budding playwright's surprise, and will
be presented in the spring in a New
York house on the Keith circuit. The
skit is called The Sixth Sense.'
The playlet had been written over a
year ago, placed with a vaudeville sketch
broker and almost forgotten, when sud-
denly Mr.. Shannon appeared upon the
scene with the several hundred dollars
payment Of the sketch and divided MP
with his astonished friend and colaborer,
which goes to prove that genius is not
born to blush unseen even in New York.
The Billboard, Telegraph and other lead
ing theatrical papers itenized the an
of the sketch and its pre-
senters.

ITO give a little illustration of the
condition of Hawaii if our sugar
should be put on the free list, will
quote few figures given to me as to
Eva plantation. In 1911 their profit
was $1,277,OOO.
"If they would have paid duty on
their sugar as the stariff stands now,
Eva plantation would have profit Of
between forty and fifty thousand dol
lars.
Now Eva is considered to be our
banner plantation. If they could have
only made from per cent or less on
their capital stock, what would have
become of our second-class planta-
tons? 49, 49,
an my judgment, rs per cent OF
them would have to go out of business
and the others-the remaining 25 per
cent-might have enough profit left to
buy enough grease to grease a small
rag.
This is the way, in my judgment,
that the Democrats feel toward the
industries of Hawaii

for all time, Notwithstanding that
some people misquote us in the
papers.

people of Hawaii should know that /

that the time made by Friessel in the

The American Can Company's fac.

after several months operation on but
part time. 1t will be some time yet,
however, before the big plant will be
turning out cans to it's full capacity.
A good deal of new machinery has
recently been installed, so that the
output will easily supply the 20 or 80
million cans which the present sea
sons pineapple crop will require. The
big new concrete buildings erected by
the company about year ago will
make It possible for the output to be
increased as the trade demands, by
the simple addition of more machin-
cry, for some years to come.

ALEWA HEIGHTS
RESERVOIR TIGHT

Yesterday afternoon rumor went
the rounds that the Alewa Heights
reservoir was leaking, and that the
people who reside near the big tank
were alarmed at the thought of an
outbreak.
Investigation at the public works
department ELECTED the fact that the
reservoir was simply being tested by
the engineers, and that the water seen
coming away was the overflow The
reservoir has not been taken over by
the department yet and, till several
more tests are made, will not be for
mally accepted.
The practise is to fill the reservoir
and then examine for any leaks.
Should any be discovered they are at
once attended to, and then another
test is made. The Alewa reservoir is
hole in the ground and is as safe
as it is possible to be.

MCCARTHY YIELDS.

MCCARTHY YIELDS.
Continued nom page One)
nation against McCandless, at the
meeting held this noon, pledged his
earnest support of Mccarthy. Sheriff
Jarrett, Deputy Sheriff Rose, Super
visor Mcclellan and Glenn Quinn did
the same, each one saying that he
would get behind the Colonel and do
everything in his power to secure the
nomination for Delegate for McCar-
thy. E. p Irwin stated that the
Crossroads of the Pacific is an indie
pendent paper but that it would sup
port Mccarthy on the ground that
Mccarthy is the best man whose
name has yet come up in connection
with the delegateship.
The action taken today virtually
means that McCandless has been
dumped by all the influential part of
the Democratic party and that his as
pirations will be squelched if the eff
forts of those present at the confer
ence can effect that result.
The split occurred on account of Nc
Candless' insistence upon one conven-
ton not only to name delegates to
the Democratic National Convention,
but also to select candidates and de-
eide upon platform.
McCandless notion that one con-
vention, to be held in April, should
do all this work, was at first agreed
to by the Democratic Central Com
mittee, but later the absurdity of the
situation became apparent. The Dem
ocrats would be adopting a platform,
and possibly endorsing the platform
of the National Convention, before
the National Convention had met. In
case the Democratic National Con-
vention should, for instance, go on
record as in favor of free sugar the
Democrats of Hawaii would find
themselves in a most embarrassing
position, there being probably no
Democrat except T. ]. Ryan in favor
of free sugar.
The situation was explained at
length to McCandless and every effort
was made, both by Colonel Mccarthy
and by other Democrats, to induce
him to ask the Territorial Central
Committee to reconsider it's previous
action.
Yesterday afternoon McCandless
called at the office of Colonel McCar-
, thy, which is also the office of the
Crossroads of the Pacific Mccarthy
again urged McCandless to withdraw
his opposition to a reconsideration of
the action of the committee. McCan-
dless was obstinate. The matter was
thoroughly debated, but McCandless
refused to face the issue squarely.
Mccarthy, also, voiced the protest of
most of the members of the Demo
cratic party at McCandless' listening
to the advice of Soap-Box Barron, n.
J. Ryan and others of like ilk, to the
exclusion of reputable members of
the party. McCandless insisted that
he would associate with whom he
pleased.
At this juncture e. p Irwin, editor
of the Crossroads, suggested to Nc
