Do NOT WANT
NEGRO REGIMENT

Members of the Merchants Asso-
citation are urging upon the officers
of the organization the importance Of
taking steps to prevent, if possible,
the proposed stationing of the
Twenty-fifth negro regiment, in
Hawaii. r...
1T would seem to be a serious mis-
take to force this regiment upon Ho-
nolulu," declared a prominent bust
ness man this morning. These troops
will not be welcomed here, and social
conditions in Hawaii are such, espe-
cially at the present time, that I am
certain very serious trouble will re-
suit if the proposition is carried out.
In the first place, there is no present
negro population here in which the
negro soldiers would find a congenial
environment. On the contrary, there
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-02-09

are places on the mainland or in
the Philippines where these objec-
lions could not be urged, and where
the troops themselves would Ger
tainly find conditions more to their
liking.
"Then again, with our present sys-
TEN, or rather lack of system in hand
ling the so-called social evil, our prob
lem is going to be serious enough
with the stationing here Of from
10000 to $4,000 white troops, not to
speak of negroes.
when this regiment was sched-
uled for Hawaii a year or two ago
there was a prompt and vigorous pro-
test from every element Of our peo-
pie, and it was effective. There is no
reason why we should not again at
least do what we can to have this pro
gram changed"
Other business men who were in
terviewed in the matter spoke in like
vein, and the suggestion was made
that the commercial bodies of the
city act at once, taking the matter
direct to President Taft, if necessary
in an effort to have the army orders
changed as regards the Twenty-ffth

Another Commander Coming.
In the Sierra due here on February
% from the coast, Lieutenant Com.
mander Edward Woods is expected to
arrive to take the place of Lieutenant
Commander Wirtzbaugh, who left in
the Sierra on Tuesday last for the
coast to see his family before he
starts for his new duties in the
Asiatic fleet Commander Wirtzbaugn
was on the South Dakota. This va
cancy will be filled by Commander
Woods.
Dr.. Minke Goes to Guam.
If the fleet stays much longer, there
will not be many of her original Off
GERS left here. DR.. Minke of the West
Virginia has received orders to leave
for Guam for duty there under the
United States Navy He will take his
departure in the transport Sherman
due here next Monday or Tuesday
from San Francisco, and calling at
Guam on her way to Manila.
Paymaster's clerk Machado was an
other who left gap in the fleet ranks.
He got away by the Sierra on Tues
day last. His place has been filled by
an enlisted man.
Exercises Were Carried Out.
The cruisers carried out all sorts
of exercises outside the harbor. In
the morning they were busy simulat-
ing battle conditions, in the afternoon
they had other exercises, and at night
they were busy repelling imaginary
attacks by torpedoes. They will go
out again on Monday morning in all
probability. That is the present idea.
The boats came in yesterday after
noon, in accordance with the plans
formulated by Admiral Thomas. Not
one of the boats came in before half
past two yesterday afternoon.
This morning the California and
the South Dakota are busy filling up
their bunkers, The West Virginia and
the Colorado coaled last week. The
usual procedure is to let the coal sup
ply run down to 1900 tons, and then
fill up again. This allows the boats
to coal two at a time.

is likely. Just exactly what will hap
pen even Admiral Thomas cannot say
at the present juncture.
The West Vrginla's Find.
When dragging up her anchor this
morning the West Virginia fouled a
small anchor with fifteen fathoms Of
chain attached to it. The gear was
hauled on board the cruiser to be
turned over to the owners if they can
be found, or to go into the naval store
If there are no claimants.
One of the T. X. Z boats lost some
gear of this description many months
ago, but it is not thought that this
find belonged to any of the Japanese
liners, as the anchor is too small for
that class of boat An interesting
story is told in connection with the
loss of the Japanese anchor. A white
officer when off port was told to let
go an anchor. He told the captain
that it was too deep to anchor, but
the captain preferred to take the
word of the quartermaster that It was
not very deep.
"All right" cheerily replied the Of
ficer, "let 'er go!' With great rat
tie away went the chain, when "bing,"
suddenly there was finish to the end
of the chain.
That ones gone" shouted out the
officer to the captain. "Will I let the
other go?"
The captains answer was not in the
logbook, but the other anchor was
kept in reserve and the vessel changed
her position nearer port.

architecture, set among the trees,
where now brick and mortar hold
sway, always open in welcome to
landsmen and seamen. a quiet haven
and refuge of hope. On the Sabbath

olive spray in it's beak, sent out It's

found a welcome from the first, here
they listened to the gospel, both in
English and in their own vernacular,

great white pulpit, which some of us
remember still with awe, and pro
fessed their faith in Jesus Christ.
Building and pulpit have gone and the
dear old church is now but memory,
but the good work which radiated
from this center still goes forward,
and the old Bethel, and the Lyceum
where the Chinese congregation met
later on Nuuanu street, seemed to
form a background for these recent
exercises.

in some long distance practise. When
the boats are in the harbor they can
not work so well as when they are
outside, as the ornamental hills in
terfsre with the waves. Already the
South Dakota has got a message TO

Stay Is Indefinite.
The stay of the vessels in these
waters is indefinite. No word has yet
been received as to when they are to
leave There Is a rumor that the
Maryland will come back here, and
there are all sorts of rumors that the
vessels are going away. The Mary
land might come back here, and it is
expected that she will, especially in
view of the fact that nearly all the
wives of the officers are still here.
This, of course, may be merely be-
cause they prefer to winter here, see
Ing that there is uncertainty where
the Maryland will go from Guayaquil,
because it is certain that she will not
stay there any longer than necessary,
as she might be quarantined at any

other vessel, allowing that one to be

Los Angeles, Cal, June 3.-The di-
rect examination of Bert Franklin in
the barrow trial was completed Fri
day by Assistant District Attorney w.

tons which developed surprise after
surprise and brought the names OF
half a dozen well-known citizens into
more or less intimate relationship
with the main events of the alleged
bribery plot
Here are some of the allegations set
forth in Franklin's testimony:
That barrow personally gave him
the $4,000 used in the Lockwood bri-
berry after going into an adjoining
room with Job Harrison, an associate
counsel for the McNamaras, and COM
ing back with the roll of bills.
That after his arrest Lecompte
Davis tried to arrange that he should
plead guilty and take fine of $4,000,
to be paid by the Mcnamara defense,
Franklin to receive $4,000 and in re-
turn, to protect barrow.
That barrow at one conference in
sisted that If Franklin ever used OAR
rows name he wanted him also to
tell all he knew about Hartmann
connection with the case-and that in
the presence of Lecompte Davis.
He further testified that Franklin
Fowler, an investigator, who gathers
evidence for the Pacific Electric COM
pany, went to prospective juror and
asked him if he did not want to be a
Mcnamara juror. at the same time
laying four matches on table and,
as he pointed to each, said it repre-
scented a thousand dollars.
That he also offered brides to three
other men who Indignantly refused the
/ offer. They were Guy Yokin, we'll

GOWNS and John Underwood, a Los

JOE DAWSON is VICTOR
500 MILE AUTO RACE WON BY MA
TIONAL DRIVER IN e:21:o6.
Ralph De Palma, in Mercedes, Lost
Out by Breakdown When
Near Tape.

indianapolis, June driving Ma
tional car, Joe Dawson won the 500-
mile race on the speedway here Thurs
day. His time was hours, Fl min
utes, 6 seconds, and he averaged 1917
miles an hour worlds record for
the distance on any kind of road or
track The former speedway record
was 745 miles
Luck had something to do with the
victory, for Ralph de Palma in a
Mercedes was ten miles ahead of
Dawson in the 496th mile. De Palma
had led the parade from the tenth
mile and seemed sure of victory. In
fact, he seemed not to have a chance
to lose. But automobile racing is
uncertain, and with the race almost
in his grasp the Mercedes car devel-
oped trouble and limped at snail
pace around the track.
Meanwhile Dawson saw his chance
for glory and opulence, and drove fast
but carefully The victory meant a
fortune for the boy as his winning
brought him more than $4,000, includ-
ing the extras. Second place with it's
$4,000 prize and some extra fell to
Tetzloff in a Fiat.
Third place was won by Hughes in
a Mercer. Much glory and $500 goes
with this position.

that the instruction of lower class
