NEW YORK, July ll.-Roosevelt,
checred by the news Of several happen
iugs which on the surface appeared to
favor his candidacy, issued his first
campaign pronuneiamonto from Saga
more Hill, his oyster Bay home, last
night. He declared, as Governor Viii
son has already done, for an investiga-
ton of the high cost of living and in
cidentally asserted that he stands for
a sweeping revision Of the tariff down
ward, to meet the needs of the con
sumers of the nation.
He received but declined comment
upon the news from Reno that his fol-
lowers there had launched the third
party in Nevada by filing Roosevelt
petitions, and that the third party had
also been launched at Des Moines, Iowa.

State convention there had rebuked
Taft and the Taft managers for fraud
at the recent Republican convention,
and had proved in other ways decided

BID FAREWELL
TO W|NDJAMMERS
Sugar Factors Planning to Ship
Product to Market by
Steamers Only.

Plans for the proposed ten day sched-
ule of the Americana Hawaiian Steam
ship Company for its 1912.1913 service
between the Islands and Salina Cruz
will be perfected soon. The Sugar Fac
tors Company, which arranges for the
transportation of the bulk of the sugar
crop, has had conferences with the
local representatives of the steamship
company during the past three weeks,
and the schedule is made up and only
reeds the ratification of the principals.
The American-Ha company is
now working on an eleven-day schedule
and this will be bettered next year by
reduction of one day. Another large
cargo steamer will be put into service
between the Coast and the Islands, and
the Islands with Salina Cruz, in order
to take care of the increase in the
output of sugar and to provide suffi-
cient cargo space for quickly moving
sugar.
The Sugar Factors Company will
drop out one or two more sailing vessel
charters next season and this addition
al tonnage will be taken care of by
the American Hawaiian steamers. This
year five sailing vessels only were en-
ployed in taking sugar around to Phila-
| delphia and New York via Cape Horn,
| the charter of the Nuuanu having been
cancelled. The last of the sailing fleet
left for Delaware Breakwater a couple
of weeks ago. By 1914 no sugar from
Hawaii will be shipped around the
Horn in sailing vessels, and if any is
shipped in sailing vessels it will be
routed via the Panama Canal.
The same sailing vessels now char
tered by the Sugar Factors may be en-
| ployed then, but the big white flyers
will be equipped with auxiliary power
in order to make quicker and more di-
rect passages between the Islands and
Panama and between Panama and New
York
'The captains of the sailing vessels
carrying out sugar told me that the
Sewali company plans to equip all their
big sailing vessels with auxiliary pow
er,' said A. M. Novel;, manager of the
Sugar Factors Company, yesterday.
"'With this power they will be able to
make eight or nine knots and will 90
direct TO their destinations, thereby
avoiding the great areas of calm re-
gions in the Pacific Ocean"
1t is claimed that by 1915, when the
Panama Canal opens, that the fleets
of sailing vessels will all but have dis
appeared from the Pacific and that the
only ones retained in service will be
small trading vessels, lumber schooners
and the like, but that the great huge
white flyers like the Erskine NJ. Phelps,
William r. Frye, Sewall and Dirigo
win pass out of the long carrying trade
across the Pacific and become coasters
to a more or less extent. The Sugar
Factors may continue them in service
between the Islands and Panama, but
the probabilities are that the big steam
er freighters viii eventually take every
pound of sugar manufactured in

JUDGE RESIGNS
OFFICE IN CLUB
Henry E. Cooper Finds Business
Too Pressing to Retain
the Post.

AT meeting of the directors of the
Hawaii Yacht Club few days ago,
President Henry l.. Cooper of that club
rendered his resignation which, al.
though deeply regretted, was accepted
by the directors. Judge Cooper pleads
the press of business as his reason for
resigning. He has been one of the best
presidents the local club has ever had
and has devoted a great deal of his
time in boosting the popular sport.
In the appointing of successor
for Judge Cooper the club should use
every endeavor to get man who
knows the yachting game and who will
devote considerable time in putting his
club among the top notchers of the
world, said one of the clubs officers
yesterday. "There seems to be lack
of interest in this game and it is to
be regretted, for with the excellent ia.
cilities that Honolulu has for yachting
there should be ten times the number of
winged craft availing themselves of
1.-THE unsurpassed weather conditions.
With the clubs on the Pacific Coast
where the members have many miles to
ride before reaching their boats, there
are always from twenty to thirty sail
ing craft racing or cruising on Sundays
and holidays. There are about ten
good boats in the local clubs at the
present, but the interest in racing and
cruising seems to lag.
"No other city as compared to its
size, has as many moneyed people as
has Honolulu and as the yachting game
is wealthy man 5 sport there is no
reason in the world why we should not
have more big yachts. However the
residents Of the city have shown their
enthusiasm by contributing to the
building and entering of the yacht Ha'
wall in the transpaciiic race and this
all goes 20 show that the game will be
backed providing the proper boosting
is done There are dozens of places
along the coast where races and cruises
could be made and return the same
day
Gone of the most important features
in boosting the game is having beau
tiful clubhouse where yachtsmen can
lcongregate and races be planned 1t is
hoped that the Hawaii Yacht Club will
commence the building of new club
house within n short time.
! After the finish of past transpacific
races it has been customary to put the
Hawaii away at Pearl Harbor. This
only helps to ruin the beautiful craft
and it is hoped that the club viii ap
point a captain and crew TO keep the
boat in trim all of the time.

GOVERNOR Gets BACK
INTO HARNESS AGAIN
(FrOm Thursdays Adycrtiser.)

(From Thursday Is Advertiser.)
Governor Frear spent most of yester
day in consultation with secretary
Mott-Smith in an endeavor to get in
touch with affairs as they have de-
veloped during his absence and ia
miliarize himself with the present
status of territorial matters rs whole.
When not so engaged the Governor
signed up number of land papers.
He says that a good many lots have
been sold for homestead, residents and
other purposes, and that the govern
ment is getting ready to sell others.
In a short time about sixteen hum
dred acres of as good pineapple lands
as any under cultivation are to be
thrown open to homesteaders. This is
virgin land and is situated near Ka-
paa, Kauai The land has been used
for grazing purposes and is clear of
timber. 1t has splendid climate and
is in a beautiful region. Mr.. Lutted
sontemplates the erection of new
pineapple cannery in the vicinity.
The 1900 acres will be divided into
homesteads Of about twenty acres each,
and, it is expected that there viii be
considerable competition for the lots.
The method by which they will be
homesteaded has not yet been deter
mined upon, though four different plans
are under consideration.
About the same time. a number Of
beach lots on the bay Of Hanalei will
be thrown open for purchase at public
auction. These are intended for resi-
dence sites. They have not yet been
appraised, but appraisers will be sent
TO Kauai very soon, and the lands in
both tracts win be offered to the pub
lie as soon as possible.

quantities of irrigation water to carry
the crops along"
The present, or 1912 crop, is not af-
fected to any extent, and this will be
taken off in the time estimated, but the
1913 crop, which should be half grown
at this time, may be retarded by lack
of water, particularly on those planta-
tions which rely upon rainfall princi-
pally as means of cultivating their
crops.
Little or no planting is being done
by plantations just now, although June
and July are the months in which con
siderable planting is carried on, The
planters have found that there is little
use in planting cane unless there is an
overplus of irrigation water to keep
the ground well soaked. The parched
condition of the soil requires many
times the usual amount of water for
ditch work.
The planting which would ordinarily
be done during the months of June and
July will form the 1914 crop. By reason
of the lack of planting the season of
1914 will be shorter and will therefore
make for n shortage in the amount of
sugar produced.
The Kau plantations are the princi-
pal sufferers for want of water. The
plantations in the Hamakua district
which formerly relied upon rainfall,
now fall back upon the heavy supply
furnished by the Hamalua Ditch Com
pany.

CUPID MAY SAIL
YACHT in RACE
Delegate Wants to Command
Seafarer on Run to Hilo
if Possible.

If Captain L. A. Norris of the Sea-
farer will consent to allow Prince
Cupid to sail his yacht in the coming
HiIo race, the Prince will select crew
of local boys and attempt to put the
San Francisco boat over the finish line
IN the lead of the other entries. The
Delegate is very anxious to sail this
race. 1t is his desire to see as many
boats as possible in the race and al
though his interest is with the Hawaii
it would make a better race with three
entries. This offer to sail the Coast
boat was made Mt the luau given by
Prince cupid Tuesday night.
When the crews of the visiting
yacnts and members or the Hawaii
Yacht Club entered the big dining room
at the home of Prince Kuhio, Tuesday
night, not a man expected that he
would be able to make his exit in .
normal condition. One look at the
long tables loaded to the gum Is with
every kind of food known to Hawaiian
history staring them in the face, was
enough to make each man "bust out
a reef in his belt.'' No knives or
forks spoiled the setting and the crowd
Immediately proceeded to set-to with
their brawny fists. 1t would be hard
to estimate the amount of poi and fish,
not mentioning the many other choice
morsels of good things that this
hungry bunch of salts slowed away.
At the head of the horseshoe tables
sat the host, Prince KuhiO, with Com
nodore Hatch of the Hawaii Yacht
Club on his right and Commodore War
rem Wood of the South Coast Yacht
Club on his left. Next to these guests
we're Captain William II. Stroud of the
Hawaii, Captain Lew b. Harris of the
Lurline and Captain L. A. Norris of
the Seafarer. 4 few words from the
Prince and conventionalities were
thrown to the wind. 1t would take
many columns to tell the many funny
experiences of these yachtsmen in try
| ing to wrestle a piece of pork or in
getting on the outside of bowl of poi
Commodore Talks.
Shortly after the luau started, the
Prince arose and introduced Commo
dore Hatch, who extended a hearty
welcome to all of the visitors and also
spoke of the close relationship between
the Hawaii Yacht Club and the South
Coast Yacht Club. His welcome was
followed by an answer by Commodore
Wood. He said in part:
"On behalf of the South Coast Yacht
Club, who put up the cups which were
raced for this year, desire TO compli
ment the Hawaii Yacht Club on Tho
sportsmanlike way in which it entered
the yacht. No other yacht club has
shown as keen an interest in this rae,
as has the Hawaii club. Since the
FIRST race in which our old friend Com
modore Macfarlane sailed the old Ii
Paloma they have not failed to entel

that can not say this for my club, bui

SWEDISH ROYALTY CONGRATULATES
DUKE BEFORE CROWDS IN STADIUM
Hawaiian Lad Is Most
Popular Athlete
in Stockholm.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July Ii
Duke Kahanamoku is by all odds the
most popular olympiad in Stockholm.
For several days the people have gone
wild over him and yesterday Royalty
itself unbent to welcome the Hawaiian
swimmer into the Royal box i'll the
stadium, while the vast throng of more
than ten thousand people cheered and
yelled and gave him an ovation that he
will remember as long as he lives.
Duke was brought into the stadium
to hear the announcement of the result
of the swimming heats yesterday. There
was the usual enormous crowd, lines
upon lines of humanity apparently
stretching away to the sky, and banked
high above the Royal box, at one end
of the huge oval. The King, Gustav
v, the Queen and a throng of courtiers,
diplomats, ambassadors and military
and naval attaches, all in uniform,
were in the box. The scene was most
brilliant one.
When the announcer made the Off
clal statement that Kahanamoku had
won the heat in the time, hitherto un-
equaled, of one minute, three and two
hfths seconds, faster than any one had
ever gone through the water before,
there was tremendous roar from the
crowds, and it swelled and beat against
the sides of the arena until it sounded

race that can compare with this one is

sailed in 1914 will have entries from
all of the big yacht clubs in the
world.

race He is Captain l.. A. Norris.
Shortly before the race ] received a
communication from him to enter his
boat. After Captain Stroud and my
self had talked the matter over we
phoned Captain Norris that we would
postpone the race if he would consent
to come. We received reply from
him stating that he would sail the
race if he had to sail his boat alone
as he experienced difficulty in finding
a crew. That is what l call true
sportsmanship.

filing the cup with amber liquid of a

Thanks the Grew.
Captain Stroud of the Hawaii was
then presented with the handsome see
ond prize cup by Commodore Wood, and
accepted on behalf of the Hawaii Yacht
Club. Captain Stroud replied
"When we crossed the starting line |
had every hope of winning the first cup
but after seeing the Seafarer and Lmr-
| line sail away from us my hopes were
/ shattered, but | made up my mind to
get third place at least. 1t was n great
surprise that we beat the Seafarer and

which accompanied me. We sailed a
hard race and think we got everything
out of the boat that was possible.

have done so and accepted half of the
entertainments the South Coast Yacht
Club offered me, it would have been
