DOWSETT FOR DELEGATE

Nominations for delegates to the Republican
convention are but a week away
The Republicans are faced with the plain
duty OF sending to the territorial and county
conventions men who can be relied upon to nom
mate candidates of the highest standing. There
will not this year be the excuse that such candi
dates arr. not available.
The disbursements committee accomplished a
notable thing in securing the candidacy of d
large number of leading businessmen who are
willing to devote time and energy to the govern.
rlentsDf Hawaii for the next two years At the
head Of the ticket is J.. NJ. Dowsett Able, fear.
less, determined, successful in business and al.
ready enlisted in public work, Mr.. Dowsett is
the type of citizen upon whom Hawaiian voters
car rely to make brilliant representative al
Washington. He will command the maximum
Of respect and support from his colleagues there
and he Will have the ipteres Hawaii at heart.
Mr.. Dowsett served in the territorial legisla-
ture as senator with distinction. He has given
large amount OF time te.the forestryiand agri
culture department as a member Of the board Of
commissioners and has served and is serving on
other public boards and organizations. He has
distinctly the ability andsthe qualifications that
fit him for Hawaii's delegate to Congress.
The Star-Bulletin has already defined its po-
sition with respect to the delegate Kuhios
strength will not be the strength of impartial
Judgment by the voters, but the strength Of an
appeal on lines of personal animosities and on
lines that are iniuring this territory.
Mr. Dowsett is the man for Hawaii to make
delegate to Congress.

SUPPORT THE HARBoR toRHlssI0kERs

81
Honolulu,s opportunity to make this port
ready for the opening of the canal is here in con
crete FORM, ss i IS
The board Of harbor comnjssi oners yesterday
took action toward securing for the territory the
WATERFRONT property generally known as the Al
len & Robinson property and which for many
wears has been used for lunber-yard and ware
house purposes 1t is now proposed to secure
this property for government wharf purposes.
In brief, here is the plan entertained by the
harbor commissioners:
That part of the waterfront bounded by
Queen street, Fort street, the mauka end of the
Oceanic dock site, and the water Of the harbor
itself is to be wholly acquired. The territory
already owns a narrow strip along the harbor
front, the strip varying in width from twelve
feet to q foot This strip has been used by the
Robinson estate under an old license dating from
the days of the monarchy The license is held
BY the territorial authorities to be subject to
cancellation. Part of this area now wanted is
owned by the federal government, and this is to
be secured also, under the present plans, perhaps
by an exchange of property with the territory.
It's proposed to raise the funds to make these
land purchases partly by the sale of territorial
property, with the authorization of the governor,
and partly by Legislative appropriation, and if
negotiations for the land are successful the next
legislature will be asked to provide such funds
as have not been secured by the firstnamed
method
Two great public necessities will be served,
say the harbor commissioners, by this plan.
First. the available wharfage fuom in Homo
'ulu's harbor will be considerably increased.
Berths will be furnished for two more large yes
els. secondly, the way will be cleared for the
.elt.line railroad that is to swing around the

Jos. SIobodien Is Purchaser
--About $4,000 Involved.

One of the biggest, if not the big
gest, transfer of improved property in
the heart of the business section of the
city was made today when Lawyer
Thomas Brown, through his real estate
agents Burke & Bolger, sold his hand
some three-story brick row at State and
Center streets, to Joseph Slobodien, a
Smith street shoe merchant. 1t is un-
derstood that the property brought
$4,000, which gives every one an idea
of the value Of State street property,
and the ready market for real estate To-
Gated in the business section of Perth
Amboy. Mr.. Brown erected the row
about year ago and nets a neat sum
on the quick sale, it is reported.
Mr.. Slobodien says that he has no in
tention of transferring his business to
his new building, but merely purchased
the property as an investment. The
building faces one hundred feet on
State street and ffty-two and one-half
feet on Center street. 1t is three sto
ries high and has the following stores
on the ground floor: Sheyers Toggery,
New Jersy Products Company, Collins
Bakery and Louis Weinblatt, cigars and
confectioner.
The second and third stories in the
building are used as private apart
ments, etc. Mr.. Brown, at the present
time, occupies suite for his personal
use. Mr.. Brown has secured an option
on an additional $50 fest of State
street property on which he will erect
another brick row when the title is
passed. Burke & Bolger, who are
handling his real estate interests, de-
clined to give out the location of this
tract.

Logonier, Pa, July 6:-The death
list In the Wilpen Valley railroad
wreck grew during the night from
twenty-one to tWeDty-seven victims.
There may be still more victims
buried beneath the wreckage and
some of the seriously injured are not
expected to live. Almost every family
in the village is affected, because
most of the people on the telescoped
passenger train were children return
ing from picnic up the mountains.
Frantic parents spent the whole
night tearing away the wreckage to
find traces of their lost ones. To add
to the horror of the wreck there was
no adequate medical attention for
several hours after the accident. Two
of the towns physicians were on the
train, one being killed and the other
seriously injured. The third doctor
of the town was away on visit.
Te1egrams brought help from out of
town, but it was slow coming and
the injured suffered more without
relief.
The latest victim was Walter
Serena, of McKeesport, who died this
morning.
The accident happened at the fair
grounds, about one and a half miles
from Logonier, and is said to be due
to a misunderstanding of orders. The

ROMANCE LEADS
GIRL TO AMBOY
Miss Wnfred Barnes Of Asbury Park Who Wants to Mar.
ry Japanese Arrives Here Yesterday on Bicycle

Miss Winifred Louise Barnes, who
has caused a sensation in Asbury
Park and New York City over her
infatuation for Japenese oriental
dealer, passed through this city on a
bicycle yesterday afternoon about
4:30 o'clock, presumably on her way
to New York. The girl, who is re-
puted to be wealthy, tried several
times to wed her suitor but owing to
trouble in securing license 1t has
been deferred time and time again.
Upon the solicitations of her mother
even the pastor of the Little Church
Around the Corner, of New York,
has refused to tie the knot.
The girl and her mother have been
stopping at the Plaza Hotel in AS
bury Park. The girl was dressed in
a MILDLY blouse, blue skirt and yellow

shoes when she arrived here yester-
day and caused quite a stir. The
purpose of the ride is problematical.
1t may be taken that the girl dressed
as she did toevade the watchful eye
of her mother and was enroute to
New York to be married.
When Miss Barnes was seen at the
Plaza Hotel in Asbury Park night be-
fore last she said that no date has
been set for her marriage to Sangoro
Ono, the Asbury Park dealer. Mrs.
Barnes is heartbroken over her
daughters infatuation for the Japa-
nese suitor.. 1t was through the
mothers opportunities and personal
pleadings with Dr.. Houghton, of the
Little Church Around the Corner,
that the ceremony was not perform
ed last Sunday.
