From a staff Correspondent Of The Tribune. J
Buffalo, Oct. 27.-Job E. Hedges, Re-

or Just a pleasant exchange of CONVERSE

Ign. and made public here to-day.
During his pre-convention trip around
the state Mr.. Hedges took part In a three
cornered political DEBATE at Tully, In
which DR.. Bayliss and Thomas Mott Os-
borne were the other participants.
The general subject was political vir-
tue. Mr.. Osborne made a presentation OF
the Democratic end of the argument. DR..
Bayliss as Mr.. Hedges describes the af-
fair, took the Bull Moose side and trans
ported his hearers a few steps upward
toward the throne of grace" Mr. Hedges
contributed what he thought of politics,
the Republican party, bossism and po-
litical virtue, and afterward, he said, DR..
BayIss told him publicly that II he were
nominated he would get the clergyman's
vote.
A short time ago, Mr.. Hedges says, he
met DR.. Bayliss, and asked him II he
were going to vote for the Republican
candidate.
why, no." he says Dr. Bayllss told
him. When I said that l didn't think
Barnes would let you get the nominal
ton" Wherefore Mr.. Hedges has writ
ten TIE clergyman this letter:
My dear Dr. Bayliss: I am sim inter
ested 20 know whether you are going 10
keep your promise and vote for me Tor
Governor, as you said you would AT Tully.
The fact that you did not expect me 10
be nominated and that Barnes would not
permit H. az YOU stated 10 me at OsWego,
is apart from the question.
II Is not question with me either OF
gaining one vote II is a question with
me OF fair dealing, and think you should
announce with the same degree OF pup
liClty that you did at FULLY that II If
your purpose 10 vote FOR me.

not going 10 do so, as you must be n

order that my memory should not have

BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS.
WHY?

Why are the very rich
growing richer!
Why are the very poor
growing poorer!
Why are little children
compelled to work while
thousands of able-bodied
men are idle!
Why do millions go
half nourished when the
land is full of plenty?
Why does the cost of
living steadily mount,
while the nation produces
a surplus every year aver.
aging two billion dollars!
Every man in America who
works is entitled to a wage
sufficient to raise his family in
decent conditions, to educate
his children in the common
schools, and to lay by some
thing for old age.
Why is it impossible for
hundreds of thousands OF men
to do this?
You hear these questions
constantly, and you hear all
kinds of answers.
What is YOUR answer?
Mr.. Lawson knows why the
cost of living is mounting.
Why the rich are growing
richer. Why wealth is unfair
" distributed. Why there is
so much misery.
He tells you why in this
number, and how to stop it.
Eight years ago he tried to
tell you, and you saw some OF
the superficial crimes and
started to correct them, but
you would not wait to see the
real cause crime.
Eight years ago Mr.. Law
son spent at least two million
dollars trying to get your at
tention and interest to the big
crime.
Many of you were interest
ed and willing and patient, but
most of you were merely en-
tertained by his disclosures,
and when the hour for work
came, you turned your backs.
Now Mr.. Lawson is at it
again, ready this time to go
the limit. Ready to show you
Just what the trouble is, just
how it is brought about; just
how it can be stopped, and
ready to spend and be spent
to the limit of his strength and
his resources.
And EvERYBoDY's MAcA-
ZINE is in the fight to the limit.
Will you join?
For the sake of the weak
and helpless, for the sake Of
Americas future, for the sake
of your children's future, for
your own sake, will you join?
We ask you to support Mr..
Lawson's work.
We ask you to read his "a
BIC of High-Cost-Living in
this number.
We ask you to get it clearly
in your minds.
And then we ask you to talk
it at every opportunity.
Talk it to every one who
will listen. Mention it in your
letters. Talk it at the office
and on the way. Talk it at
the club and after church.
That makes public opinion.
And public opinion makes
legislators make laws.
And there is going to be a
law against the gambling
tricks of the Stock Exchange.

Company, aud the Catton.N Neil Com
pany. Last week the commission
awarded forty-six thousand dollar
contract to Lucas Brothers for the coz
struction of the Queen street bull5hoa4
wharf shed, bringing the totals mp to
more than one hundred thousand
dollars.
The bids yesterday were for tho re-
laying of the floor area, piles, stringers
and surface work for the Queen street
bulkhead wharf, the successful bidder
being the Lord Young company, and the
laying of the fuel oil pipeline along
the waterfront from Iwilei to connect
with all wharves as far as the Channel
wharf.
There were two bidders ON the wharf

commission passed unanimously in favor
of the Lord Young bid. Lucas Brothers

The old shed is being taken down and
put up again on the Hackfeld wharf by
Contractor Freitas. When the wharf
is completed, with its much larger shed
area, it will be turned over to the Mat
son navigation company, to be used as
it's principal wharf. 1t will have a
number of features designed partic-
ularly to give passengers easy oppor-
tunities to get to and from steamers
They will have a "cat-walk" over the
roof of the shed, the walk to be en-
closed This will take the passengers
out of the freight trucking area.
For the fuel oil pipeline there wero
three bidders, the Catton-Neill Com
pany, Honolulu Iron Works and II. E
Hendrick. The award, which will reach
close to $4,000 was given to Cation
Neil Company, the collective tenders
for piping, fixtures, etc, being gener-
ally in their favor.
Bids for the Hilo wharf viii not be
opened for two weeks, although they
were to have been opened yesterday
Owing to correction which the attor-
ney- general believed TO be necessary
Chairman Campbell decided to extend
the time for passing in the bids. The
Territory has about 100000 to build
the wharf, which is to be 1900 feet
long and will be modern in every re-
spect. 1t is to be located on the shore
of Kuhio Bay, Hilo.
The revised plan of rights-of-way for
the Hilo Railroad Company, showing
the settled plan for subdividing up the
land adjoining Kuhio Bay into streets
and squares, was handed yesterday to
Acting Governor Mott-Smith, by the
Hilo Railroad Company.

CHUNG NUNG CASE
IS IN L|MEL|GHT
ATTORNEY FOR CHTNAMAN DE
4 cLAREs EVIDENCE FOR THE
ORIENTAL WAS WITHHELD.

The Chung Nung case continues to
furnish sensations, and the latest is the
statement contained in an affidavit of
Lorrin Andrews and DIR. G. B. Wood,
to the effect that Dr.. Woods testi-
mony, tending absolutely to eliminate
the most important evidence there was
against the defendant, was given to
Prosecuting Officer Cathcart himself, by
sDr. Wood before the trial.
DIR. Wood s affidavit is an astounding
indictment of the methods of prosecu-
tion, in the opinion of some of those
who have read it, for according to the
statement of the doctor, he gave the
prosecution direct evidence of a fact
which the prosecution proceeded to at
tempt to destroy, in the effort to con.
Wet Chung Nung.
According to the affidavits, DR..
Wood was consulted by the proseeu-
ton. He made a physical examination
of the defendant, and his report was di-
prosecution. He was dropped like a
hot potato, and the case went on trial
and was decided without court or jury
knowing the very vital facts in his
knowledge. He was not called as a
witness because, after he had made an
investigation, his report was against the
prosecution.
All this is charged, indirectly, in the

REGULATIONS RILE
THE SAMPAN OWNERS

Pflil1ia aplenty broke loose yesterday
with the enforcement of stringent reg
ulations against japanese sampnns for
taking on gasoline at the upper end 'of
the harbor and discharging their fish aU
the same spot. Tho regulations have
been in effect for some time and warn.
ing went out, but it is only during the
past week that the rules have been en-
forced in strict manner.
Charles Chillingworth, speaking For
the japanese, says the new rules if
carried out will do away entirely with
the fishing industry in Honolulu, an IN
dustry which amounts to one hundred
thousand dollars year. Emil Berndt
of the harbor commission says that the
Japanese are not going to be allowed
to take on gasoline from open drums on
Hackfeld wharf or any other spot
which endangers public property and
that as far as discharging cargoes is
concerned, there is no reason why the
fishermen should not haul their fish to
market as well as do other business
firms in town have to haul freight from
the docks.
The trouble all arose over spilling of
gasoline and filing tanks on the sam
pans from Hackfeld wharf, and the
leaving of empty drums on the wharf
and the street at the head of the wharf,
besides blocking traffic by discharging
cargo.
Harbormaster Foster was instructed
by the commission to assign some wharf
to the japanese sampans where they
could discharge without blocking traf-
fic and gave them a landing place at
the other end of the harbor where the
haul is much longer than from the old
berth. Tanks can not be replenished
from open drums and if the sampans
take on gasoline in this manner they
must take the drums on board and fill
their tanks away from all wharves.
81 don't know anything about this
present pilfkia,'' said Commissioner
Berndt yesterday, ''but I know the in
structions given the harbormaster We
are perfectly willing that the japanese
should fill their tanks from an under
ground tank and pipe line but we do
not intend them to take gasoline from
open drums endangering wharves and
cargo stored on those wharves.
1t is expected that as soon as the
two sides get together on the PROPOSE
ton and thorough understanding is
had there will be no more trouble.

MORE BOATS FOR
PACIFIC SHIPS
LOCAL SHIPPING MEN MUCH IN
TEREsTED IN CHANGE IN
LAWS ON COAST.

Local shipping men are much inter.
ested in the new law which has been
passed requiring that boatage on steam.
ers must be in proportion to the pas
sengers and not on the gross tonnage
of the vessels as heretofore. The fact
that the Oceanic and other companies
plying between the Coast and Hawaii
have carried plenty of boatage for the
particular effect as far as Hawaii is
concerned, but particular pains taken
by the Pacific Mail Company are of m
terest.
While the effect of the new federal
regulations regarding boatage ON pas
senger steamers will be to reduce the
number of passengers for which NUM-
Der of coastwise and transpacifc ves-
sells are licensed, it will not actually re-
duce the number of passengers carried.
The law goes into effect at once, and
in most cases all the change involved
viii be in the license.
owners Welcome Change.
The new law is welcomed by ship
owners as being more practical in every
way than the law which based the boat
age on the vessels IS gross tonnage.
Under the gross tonnage law ships like
the . Pennsylvania, of the Pacific Mail
Panama fleet, were compelled to carry
iifeboats 60 per cent in excess of the
requirements of the new law which
provides for boatage according to the
number of crew and passengers.
The liners of the Oceanic Steamship
Company have always carried boatage
in excess of the requirements, and their
present equipment more than complies
with the requirements even of the new
Flaw.
On the large transpacific ships the
boatage falls short of the requirements
| of the new regulation. The smaller
ships are over boated.' Even the large
ships, however, such as the Manchuria
and Mongolia, carry more than enough
boats for the passengers and crew actu-
ally carried. The shortage is more APP
parent than real. For instance the
Mongolia, Manchuria, Siberia and Korea
were designed when Japanese Immigra-
ton was at its high tide. They have
extensive steerage quarters and are
licensed to carry 1900 steerage passen-
bers. As matter of fact they seldom
carry more than 300 steerage passen-
gers. The license was maintained at
the limit to be prepared for any chance
harvest in the way of an extraordinary
rush of Asiatic or other immigrants.
The law will be complied with by hav-
ing the licenses amended.
