THE piles have been driven for tho

of putting up the superstructure on tho

wharves here by the company which

as the contractors have finished their
work on it. This crane cost about
$330,000.

What of a Local Station7
Admiral Cowles had no information
as to what disposition will be made of
the Honolulu naval station grounds, but
as the navy wishes to retain only the
navy wharves, it is possible that the
war department may get the grounds
and use them eventually as site for
the army headquarters building and
quartermaster and commissary supply
Euilding. The grounds are more than
ample for these purposes and still leave
much for park purposes.
The local naval station is quiet re-
serve just now, for the admiral and
captain of the yard are the only officers
on duty there, the paymaster maintain
ing an office which he visits each day
, for only short time. BY June or
, July, 1913, the entire staff will be at
, Pearl Harbor.
} Within year warships will be well
coined at the station, and repairs to
certain extent can be made there

His Platform.
nrNow let us get to the issues which
confront us. These are issues which
should be taken up by every one OF
the public speakers, but are not.
''You want to know what l intend
to do regarding taxation. You want TO
know what / intend to do regarding
immigration; about homesteading;
about banana claims; the direct
primary law, and you also want to
know what I intend to do regarding
the uplift Of labor. will tell YOU"
Cohen said the first thing he intend
ed to do was to introduce a bill to
raise the legal rate of wages paid the
laboring men; he favored immigration
provided it was done along American
lines; the bringing in of agricultural
laborers who would remain in the coun.
try and not a lot of diseased paupers
who are dumped on the streets and
fiji the hospitals and otherwise prove
menace to the city.
Regarding homesteads, he said he
was In favor of assisting the struggling
homesteaders. He then touched on the
banana proposition and said he favored
the reimbursement of the losses sus
tanned lately by the people whose ba'
nanas were cut by governmental or
ders. He was strong for the primary
law so that the people would directly
choose whom the candidates were to be
and not half dozen bosses who cast
aside fit and proper candidates and
placed ON the various tickets as only
tools to be handled just as they choose

'Sam Parker is hookano; half the
time he is in California" said Charles
Hustace Jr., speaking in Hawaiian last
night at the Aala Park meeting of the
Home Rule and Independent candi-
dates. When he directed his talk along
the wahine vein many were the giggles
and laughs he evoked from the suf
fragists present.
Speaking in English, Hustace said,
among other things: 81 was formerly
Republican but now l am an Inde-
pendent. l came out as soon as could
be and announced myself ms a candi-
date for the mayoralty. They are
afraid of me. The newspapers are mis-
leading you entirely. If / am to be
your next mayor, remember there are
no strings on me. There is no come
here and no go there, with Hustace.
| am altogether too independent for
all of them.
Gas chairman of the second board
of supervisors i made a record. There
were six Hawaiians with me on the
board and we made record which has
not been equaled. l claim / saved
county government in this city. We
would have gone to the wall entirely
belly up-but for the business methods
we followed when funds were short and
we were beset with difficulties on all
sides. That board claimed the honor
of starting the belt road on this island.
Not Fit for Office.
"The Republicans have nominated
men who are not fit for office. Take,
for instance, the candidate for mayor.
What fitness has he for the offceY /
have had twenty-five years experience
in the banking business in this city.
1t was pitiful to me to stand here and
listen the other night to his qnalifca-
tions. The business men have been cry
ing for efficiency. Why don't they put
up men who are fit for office?
"Of the nominees for the board only
three men are fit through business ex-
perience. Paris is an able man but
he has little show to be elected. Bart
lett will win out but should he fall
! by the wayside there will be no others
who have experience, who may be able
to do the work. If Mcclellan should
fall there is not man left fit to be
elected. Elect seven men from the
three tickets and put me at the head
+, and / guarantee you good city govern
ment." There was good deal more
said along these lines by the speaker.
Among other speakers were William
AHA and Bill White.

j. G. Cohen had the center of the
stage and all the limelight for forty
five minutes at the Home Rule-lnde-
pendent Labor rally at Aala Park last
night, during which time he was round
ly cheered and his various good points
(in his speech) applauded. The indie
pendent candidate for the senate APP
parently had the crowd with him.
Something like a thousand people,
the majority of them voters, were out
to hear the speakers of the evening,
Kalauokalani ST., the "Grand Old
Man, of the Home Rule party, pre-
siding. His remarks were listened to
with attention, but this was not the
case when several other Hawaiian spell
binders mounted the rostrum. There
were half dozen or so noisy ones

police had to caution them to put the
soft pedal on.
Joe Cohen made the longest speech,

of applause.

Cohen. "If elected as such shall
be free from any obligation to either

FEEBLE QUAKES
ARE RECORDED

TECHNOLOGY STATION, Octbeor
"a, 1912.-For the week ending with
yesterday there is little to report con
corning the activity of the Volcano.
In all essentials it remains as describ-
ed in recent reports, yelled completely
by day, except for rare momentary
glimpses by the rising, swirling cloud
of fumes. By night short occasional
views disclose no noticeable changes.
Owing to much rain in the evening, the
pit has been less under observation
than usual. During the past seven
days no measure of the depth has been
secured.
On the whole the illumination of the
fumes by night has been feeble, though
on one or two evenings, especially that
of Saturday, October 10, and that of
Sunday, October 20, there were inter.
walls in the late evening during which
the Illumination was strong with occa-
sional bright fiaring Also in the early
morning hours of October 90 there was
relatively strong illumination for con.
siderable time.
OF late all such spasmodic periods Of
strong illumination, when these have
been observed at close range, have been
due to small flows pouring out over the
frozen surface of the lake from one or
more Of tho numerous tiny openings IN
the crust. 1t is presumed that the il
Nominations observed this past week
have been caused in this way also, al
though, as IL happens, none have oc'
cured when observers were at the pit.
Hence IL is considered that the slow
rise Of the lava column Ia continuing.
A careful measure Of depth will be
made at the earliest opportunity. The
