Headquarters Hum with Prep
aration for Attacks and
Defense of Oahu -

With ten newly-arived officers, who
are to act as umpires IN the coming
army maneuvers, temporily attached
to headquarters pending the actual
field service, the executive offices OF
the Department of Hawaii are fairly
humming with activity. The coming
week promises to be about the busiest
on record, and everyone will have to
work at high pressure to be ready for
next weeks battle between the Red
invaders and the Blue defenders.
Besides the inspector general, Major
George H. McManus, who will make
the field inspection of the troops, nine
officers from division headquarters re-
ported to department headquarters
yesterday. One other officer, Captain
Bryson, who is assigned to the First
Field Artillery, arrived on the trans

Military Tribute to Soldier Who
Died Working at His
Post of Duty !. !.

At lis post literally Until the hour
WHOM .sath callst him ftDm a life
spent in his country's service, Major
John H. Wholley, Second Infantry U.
S. A., commandant of Fort Shafter,
was stricken with heart failure last
Saturday afternoon. and died within q
few minutes. Death occurred shortly
after four o'clock and Father Ulrich,
of the Roman Catholic Missions who
had come to visit the commandment
and was with him when the attack Of
acute heart disease came upon him,
administered the rites of the church
when it was apparent that the. COM
mandant was reaihing his last.
For some weeks Major Wholley has
been confined to his home and lately
to his room by the results of hard
attack of bronchitis which he con
tracted about month after his ar
rival In Hawaii. From this attack he
never fully recovered, and although
he was able to take part in the man
euvers last May during the visit of
the Inspector General. his health de-
clined during the summer and his
strength gradually left him. Though
weakened in body, the commandantI
never gave up work and all day Sat
urday he was busy with matters of
post administration, receiving re-
ports, signing documents and carry
ing out the many duties that devoly-
ed upon him. He was working a
large part of the afternoon and was
in good spirits. Major Kennedy,
medical officer, called upon him and
found him quite cheerful. However,
1t was evident that his condition was
serious and Father Ulrich was sent
for by Mrs. Wholley to come and visit
the Major. They were talking In the
Majors room when suddenly he
caught his breath and said, betweenl
gasps, that he felt faint. Medical aid
could do nothing for the major, who
died within a few moments.
The news of Major Wholley's death
was a shock not only to army circles |
but to the many friends in civilian
life that Major and Mrs. Wholley |

Line RUMORED

Story of Hamburg American
Deal Gains Strength in
Coast Circles
SCHWERIN IN EAST ON
SECRET NEGOTIATIONS
Change Would Endanger Amer.
ioan Flag on Many Boats
Touching This Port

A change of flag and registry In the
several Pacific Mail liners that make
regular calls at the port of Honolulu
during the course of their trans Paci.
fic voyage is the prediction that is
being freely made by steamship men
who profess to be cognizant with az
fairs on the coast.
That German colors will fly from
the Pacific Mail steamers is a story
that will not down, despite rather
lukewarm denials that have follow
ed the spreading of the report.
The Oceanic steamship Sierra, to
reach the islands this morning after
pleasant five days and eighteen
hours of steaming from San Fran
cisco shed additional light upon the
oft-repeated declaration that the Ham
burg-American interests were to as
sumo control of the Pacific Mail,
which would lead to further elimina-
tion of the American fag in the Paci-
.fic. - Z.
At the time the Sierra sailed from
San Francisco, Vice-President and
General Manager r. r. Schwerin was
absent from the city and believed to
be in New York where negotiations
toward sale of the Southern Paci-
fic interests in the Pacific Mail were
alleged to be progress.
Ignorance Alleged. ~.
The statement was made this morn
ing that practically all lesser lights
in Pacific Maildom along the coast
profess the densest ignorance con-
cerning any possible chance of the
line changing ownership and flag.
AS the story goes, the Pacific Mail.
which operates the Mongolia, Man.
churia, Korea, Siberia, Persia, China
and Nile, has been. approached by
powerful syndicate including the
Hamburg rg-American and White. Star
directorate, with view of taking over
the business of the company in the
Pacific. -.e... ..s..#z 4
Two of the present fleet of Pacific
Mailers are of British registry, the
Persia and Nile flying the Union
Jack, while the remaining five liners
are built in American yards.
Should the story prove more that
rumor, it would mean much and spell
disaster to great extent to Honolulu
and the Territory of Hawaii. With
five great liners sailing under a for
eign registry, the travelling public
would be placed at serious disadvan-
tage with constantly increasing tou-
rist travel knocking at the doors of
the Territory and demanding admis-
sion.
From the grave nature of the story
brought to this |city with the arrival
of the Sierra it is more than likely
that the several business organiza-
tions with headquarters in this city
may take the matter up with view
of learning something definite con-
cerning the repeated rumor of a moot
ed sale of Pacific Mail control.
Although the report of the sale
could not be confirmed, it was said |
shipping men that the Pacific |

Attorney General Alex. Lindsay hal
been formally asked to give his writ

of the nomination papers filed b,
the Republican nominees to the Leg
islature from Maui The letter o.
protest from Chairman M. G. Pa
checo of the Democratic Territorial
central committee reached the office
of Secretary r. A. Mott-Smith only
this morning, but the matter wa,
taken up immediately by that official
and submitted to the Attorney Gen
erai,. in communication published
in part below.
At the same time the leaders of the
Democratic organization state that
regardless of the conclusion reached
by the AttorneysGeneral, the question
will. undoubtedly be carried into the
courts for adjudication. Should his
decision support the Democratic CON
tention that the nominations cannot
be accepted because the nominees
failed to signify, on their papers. the
party with which they are affiliated.
the Republicans will OF course go in
70 court for writ of mandamus
against the Secretary of the Terri
tory compelling him to place the
candidates names on the ballot.
Should Lindsay's opinion hold that
the nomination papers we're filed ac.
cording to law, the Democrats will
carry the matter into court on an in
junction suit to keep the names off

In his communication to the Attor-
ney-General, the Secretary submits
four queries, calling for a compre-

Hero of Russo Japanese War
Ships as Forecastle Hand
from Honolulu

Famous throughout the world for his
deeds of daring during the Russo
Japanese war, but unknown in Homo
lulu when he shipped from here as a
common sailor before the mast, Louis
Splitter, noted blockade-runner, died at
sea on the bark Foohng Suey while
that vessel was carrying load of Ha.
waiian sugar around the Horn.
Splitter was well-known to many peo-
pie living in Honolulu, but none of
them when he shipped, it seems rec

turer who was probably the last of the
American priyiteer skipper. Not un-
til the Foohng Suey arrived at New

Lowering the Honolulu Passenger

Rate
PORTLAND, Oct. 5.-What is
taken to mean that rate cutting is
IN '0"re between lines operating
from San Francisco to Honolulu
was a message received by agents
that the fare one way, with berths
on the main deck, inside rooms, had
been lowered from SIS to s65, and
for the round trip it had been cut
from $135 to $110.
The rates apply on the big Four"
of the Pacific Mail fleet-the steam
ers MaDchuria, Korea, Siberia and
Mongolia The changes are made ef-
fective with the sailing of the steam
er Korea October II. The news was
of interest here because of the num-
ber applying for Accommodations on
later steamers. intending to make
winter trips to the Hawaiian group
Recently it has been difficult to Sc
cure berths for first-class passengers
unless arranged for weeks in advance
and for that reason the rate war
theory is advanced, because it is felt
that the Pacific Mail has been en-
joying heavy business to the is
lands and that the fare would not be
cut voluntarily. Rates are made from
Portland so passengers are routed
