ROBERTSON FOR GOVERNOR
AND F2EAR FOR HIS OLD
JOB Of CHIEF JUSTICE

Among the speculative street ru.
mors of the day is one to the effect
that the consideration of A. G. M.
Robertson as governor involves a re-
tlrn of Waiter Francis Frear to the
supreme bench as chief justice. Frear,
It will be remembered, was chief JUS
tice when the last change in govern
orships came, and he went directly
from the chief justiceship to the ex-
ecutive chambers.
Now, say the gossips who think
that Taft is not going to reappoint
Frear governor, he may go back to
The old job. In the meantime, as
stated in the Star some days ago,
Robertson, the present chief justice,
has been considered for governor. It
is believed that he is in communica.
tion with the President on the sub
iect, but Robertson declines to dis.
cnss the matter.
According to some of his friends,

TOTAL TODAY: TAFT, E39 ROOSEVELT, I3
An ATTEMPT TO EXCLUDE FRANCIS j. HENEY IS TABLE
DREW WAGES OF
DEAD WORKMAN

Daniel Dumulcan, a Filipino, is in
Jail charged with gross cheat.
1t appears that on June he drew
$26 from Paymaster Stevens of the
naval station, on representation that
he was a brother of Pedro, a Filipino
who died recently and who had S26
in wages coming to him from the
government for work performed on
the drydock at Halawakai.
Paymaster Stevens paid over the
money unsuspectingly and did not
know of the fraud that had been i'm
posed on him until the real relative
of dead Pedro put in his claim for
the money and proved that his claim
was a genuine one.

Robertson does not want the govern.
orship, but would not refuse if it
were offered to him. In fact, it is
pointed out, he could hardly, as a
public citizen and official, fatty re,
fuse the office.
In this connection it is pointed out
that the job may be a very temper,
arv one. Unless a Republican pres.
ident is elected, the governor of Ha-
wall will be expected to resign next
March, when a Democratic president
would take hold, There are many
who think that an appointment now
from Taft is not a very attractive
political plum, as the appointee
might not have time to much more
than get started in the office before
nc would have to offer his resigna-
tion to Democratic president. This
may account for the lack of active
candidates to succeed Frear, say the
politicians.

That the Merchants section of the
civic parade on the Fourth of July

than have ever been seen passing
through the streets of Honolulu be-
fore, is the assertion of j. Walter Doyle

1t has been pointed out to the mer.

affords great advertising possibilities
if the floats are novel and unique in

has arranged with a float building
expert who will furnish the ideas and
do all the work for those desirous of
participating.

JOHN COLBURN
PLAYS OYSTER

There is trouble in sight for John
Colburn, manager of the Kapiolani
estate, because he refused fatty this
morning to answer certain questions
asked him at the hearing before John
Marcallino, sitting as commissioner
to take testimony in the case of An
tonic A Long VS. John F. Colburn.
Colburn was asked whether or not
he had for the past twelve years had
supervision of the books of the Kapio-
lani estate. He refused to answer.
After some exciting argument the COM
missioner took Colburn down to Judge
Cooper and placed the matter before
the judge. No final conclusion was
reached, but the Judge promised that
next Monday he would sit with the
commissioner, Then If Colburn per-
sists in his refusal to answer ques-
tions asked him it may be construed
as contempt of court.
The matter before the commissioner
is a bill for account, Colburn being
the defendant

is every prospect of the deal going
through.
The need for another steamer on the
Australian run is apparent, for no
matter how we'll the Sonoma and Ven
tura keep up their schedule there must
come time when one of them Will
need an overhaul. This would mean
the placing of substitute vessel in
commission, which is not generally
looked on as being a good plan to fol-
low out. With the Sierra running as
third regular boat there will be a
guarantee that the requirements of
the mail contract will be fulfilled at all
times and also that American and Aus
tralian shippers will be assured of a
perfect service.

Oceanic Line

If the negotiations now un0er way
between the Oceanic company and the
Pacific Mail are carried through to a
successful conclusion the Sierra will
be fitted with the latest type of oil
burning machinery and will take up
the Australian run with her sister
ships the Sonoma and Ventura, while
the China will change owners and
take up the run now made to this port
by the Sierra. Such is the statement
made in San Francisco by Manager
Fred F. Samuels of the Oceanic COM

A conference has already been held

STREET CARS DANGEROUS RISK
IN PASSING DRUNK NEAR TRACK

How much risk Of hitting PROSTATE
drunken man should a street car take
and what chances of being able to get
by him when he is lying alongside the
track so that the dashboard may hit
him? The question is raised by some
residents of Kaimuki, who are severe
ly criticising the action of the motor
man and conductor of a car that left
Honolulu late last Saturday afternoon
and, on approaching a drunken man
lying alongside the track, slowly edged
up to see if the car could get by him
without the dashboard hitting him. The
car came to a stop, two of the passen-
gers got out and carried the man TO
the sidewalk-and while they were do
ing so the car went on and left them to
walk home. Wherefore the men in
charge of the car are being very sharp
ly criticised.
Professor Blackman of the Honolulu
School for Boys and R. w. Anderson
were the two men who got off the car
to help the fallen man. He lay close
to the track. The car slowed down,
and in a very cautious manner was
proceeding, the motorman apparently
trying to see if he could clear" the

son got off the car and did the Good

THE idea of a car trying carefully to

whether he is drunk or not, piece of

Two passengers jumped off to do
what the men in charge of the car
should have done-remove the man
from danger. They carried him to the
sidewalk and while they were doing
so the car went on, leaving them to
walk home.
"The man might have been i'll or
