naval officers at this station, who see
in Admiral Moore a logical SUCCESSOR

Admiral Moore is now in command
of the naval stations at Cavite and

and as Hawaii, with Pearl gHarhor in

transfer would be in the nature of a

Admiral Moore passed through Ho-

fore the Pacific feet was consolidated

Speaking Of the rumored agreement
between the government and the at,
torneys for the owners L.. S. Attorney
Breckons said this morning that the
amount settled upon for the Hall
corner can not be made public as yet,
but he regards it as reasonable"
Il believe that the site as at pres

the circumstances" said Mr.. Breck-
ons Furthermore | believe that the
next congress will appropriate the
necessary money to buy it. But"
he added with grin-"not before l

Asked regarding the possibility that
some one will be sent on4hore to pre-
sent the case of the present site to
the proper authorities in Washington,
the District Attorney said that in bis
opinion there will be. no need. of any
such move All the necessary facts
will be presented in full In the routine
report on the case forwerded to the
Attorney General hy the Federal at.
torney's office here. .
Breckons jnsimated this morning
that he is in constant communication
by cable with Attorney General Wick
ersham's office, receiving one or two
messages today from Washington, but
IL appears there is still considerable
doubt whether ;ae terms sought by
the owners will be accepted at Wash
ington. r..
Meantime the hearing of the case
to determine the value OF the Austin
estates interest in the property has
been continued to January 6. When
the jury met in court at $3.50 o'clock
this morning the suit was continued
TO 2 o'clock this afternoon, but Judge
Dole and Messers. Breckons and Oh
son met in conference two hours later
and at its close the date for further
hearing was changed to January g..
This is taken to mean that il no
agreement between the government
and owners is reached before that
time all hopes of sending the ap-
preparation bill into congress during
the short session will be abandoned.
