BEGIN WORK ON
100000. JOB

Work on the Schofield barracks
under the contract awarded to this
company on Saturday, commenced
manager of the Hawaiian Dredging
Company, said to a Star-Bulletin re-
porter.
Yes, it is the first house-building
contract the company has ever had
We bid for one before"
Referring to the Pearl Harbor dry
dock contract, Mr.. Dillingham; re-
marked:
"A satisfactory arrangement has
been made between the government
and the contractors for a change in
the use of the new mixture of con-
crete that has been shown by expert
ment to give the results sought.
THE pouring of this underwater
concrete for the making of the lower
layer of the dock will commence in a
few days. Work will be carried on
in Section of the dock. While this
construction work is in progress the
concrete that proved failure in Sec
tion l will be removed.
IF Congress as anticipated appro-
PIRATES the funds for the extension of
the dock to 1000 feet in length, the
matter will be taken up by board
of government engineers who will fix
the price for this additional work. |
see no reason why operations on this
contract should not be pushed from
now on at a rapid rate"

Passage of Canal Bill May
Prompt Sale, Says ]. +.
Hackfeld

The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany may sell ont its ships to an inde
pendent company, in the event of the
presidents approval of the bill prohib,
iting the use of the Panama Canal to
steamships in which any railroad com
pany owns any interest whatsoever;
at least, this is possibility" said y
+. Hackfeld.. president of Fl. Hackfeld
& Co., Ltd, local agent of the Pacific
Mail, this morning.
Mr.. Hackfeld understood that the
bill as it passed Congress contained
the Senate amendment permitting
steamships wholly or partly owned by
railroads, which are engaged In for.
eign commerce, to pass through the
canal and do a coastwise trade be
tween oceanic ports IL at least fifty
per centum of their cargoes Is des.
tined to or shipped from Oriental OF
European ports. ...szs
Prohibition of the use of the canal
by steamships owned or controlled
by railroads, in Mr.. Hackfeld's opin.
ion, is of doubtful constitutionality as
abrogating the, rights of property. II
might be used, In the way Of repris.
ais, by a railroad company to destroy
an independent steamship line, as a
railroad company could secretly ac-
anire shares in such eompany and
thereby place 1t in the pruhibitEu
class. - @

After firing eight shots from the big
mortar batteries at Fort RHger with
swiftness. and apparent precision this
morning, the powder failed to ignite
on the ninth charge causing a mis-
fire. AS a result the ten shots were
. fired in 81 minutes instead of the ten
minutes allowed and even though the
report on precision be A. /. the bat
terry will be sadly handicapped as FAR

less the umpire, Lieut.. Col. Campbell
finds after investigation that the fault
did not lie with the battery command
er or his men.
The mortar practice with shells at
targets lying out to sea as announced
for this morning, brought out quite a
crowd of spectators including num-
ber of officers from other branches OF
the service. Governor Frear watched
the firing for awhile and General Ma
comb was an interested observer from
the FIRE control station on the crest
of Diamond Head. - =.
All of the eight mortars were fired,
two of them twice to make out the
round of ten shots, the other mortars
loading when zone was discharged.
The Hfactice this morning was at
targets in the fourth zone, range OF
about, s35e8 yards and this fact per-
mitted the spectators to follow the
course of the big shells as they went
shrieking skyward to be lost for a
moment In the clouds before hurtling
downward to the target floating on
the ocean.

Because he was suffering from ira
ehoma, Czekalin Feodor, recent Rus
sian immigrant, has been sent back
to Hardin to be knouted and hanged
as a deserter from the Russian army
This in Feodor's opinion will certainly
be his fate unless he manages to elude
the secret agents of the, Gear who
swarm about the Japanese seaports
at which the Shinyo Maru, on which
Feodor Is passenger, touch.
Feodor did not go back to the dire
full fate threatening him without max
ing numerous prayers for mercy. All
proved unayailing, for the immigration
law is not elastic, and although Feo-
dor impressed the officials as telling
the truth when he said he would be
hanged, there, was nothing to do but
put him aboard ship with the whisper
ed counsel that he leave the vessel at
the first Japanese port and get as far
away from the Russian sphere of in.
fluenee as possible. ....
1t was to Secretary Ralph Kearns
of the Board OF immigration that Feo-
dor told his story. When his depor-
tation was decreed, Kearns called on
the man with an interpreter and told
him he would be sent back to Russia.

American Citizens at VeIardina Ask
Protection in Vain-Authorized
to Secure Arms and Protect
Themselves.

Ell Paso, Tex. Feb. 2S.-The Vas
quistas rebel element which tool
possession of Ciudad Juarez, after fir
ing single volley, plans next to cap
ture the city of Chihuahua. Early IL
the morning the march of Gen
Campa's forces on the capital of the
state Will begin, according to an
nouncement made by the commander
Col. Antonio Rojas, with 10 rebels
| arrived at Bauche shortly after noon
and stopped his march there, unaware
OF the developments at Juarez. Campo
notified him to resume his march and
RoJas is expected to arrive some
time during the night.
Gen. Campo declared that there
are 900 rebels already in Juarez and
that the arrival of Rojas' group will
give him total of 1000 which he
claimed recently he would have in
JuareZ. He says the remainder will
proceed southwark over the line OF
the National railway in the morning
for an assault on Chihuahua, which
is being held by Gen. Pasqual Orozco.
Gen. Campo said that he did not
believe the report that Col. Francisco
Villa. with his loyal insunectos, was
coming to Juarez, and that he con.
siders the town safe from any assault
by federals.
Saloons all Closed.
Following the seizure of the town
the Vasquistas set about the task OF
establishing a new municipal govern
ment and of maintaining perfect or
der. Gen. Campo appointed Mai.
Tomas Loza, secretary to Col. Dem
etrio Ponce, one of the rebel leaders,
mayor of the city. Loza was installed |
as municipal chief shortly after noon
and Immediately began organizing a |
police force.
His first order was that the saloons
be kept closed. The result was that
there have been only minor disturb
ances during the afternoon and even.
ng. Every step taken by the rebels
apparently is with view to avoid
ing any possible action that might
cause trouble with the United States
government.
