Independent organization. The boat

the understanding that our swimming
records would become official What
happened? Why, the very first rec
ord that was hung up here, that of
Duke, was laughed at by the A. A.
u. officials, who told US to send our
man along and let them have look
at him In the East. II doesn't look
as though the A. A. u. had been able
TO do much for the rowing clubs. -
This seems to be the general sen
timent among the rowing men, who
will not tolerate interference in their
affairs by the III. A. Al. The latter
body is just as firm in its own stand
against any meeting where cash
prizes are offered, and it now re
mains TO be seen where the deadlock
will be broken. Secretary Lightfoot
stated that there was no doubt about
the Alameda crew rowing, and that
as matter of form, every man who
pulled against II would be able to
show his A. A. u. card.
Puunenes Arrive.
The senior and junior crews of the
Puunene Athletic Club arrived from
Maui yesterday morning, and yester.
Gay afternoon took the water in their
barge from the Myrtle boat house,
where they are training. Al large
crowd Of rowing critics were on hand
to size up the invaders, but The Pun.
nenes didn't unlimber themselves to
any extent and contented themselves
with very gentle pull around the
harbor.
Following is the personnel of the
two crews:
Senior George Crook, No. 1; John
McCaulay. No. D; William Stewart,
No. 8; Manager r. e. Hughes, cox.
swain; Fred Voeller, No. 4; H. B.
WEIGH. No. s.; william Schlotz, No., s,
Junior Alfred Taylor, No. 1: Geo,
Murray. No. 3; William Bal, No. 8;
William Chillingworth. No. 4 Frank
Lufkin, No. s; r. s. Gray, No. 6.
Local Clubs Change.
The Healanis and Myrtles are
working feyerishly to turn ont their
best crews for the 1ist, and this has
necessitated some pretty strenuous
changes. Yesterday afternoon the
senior crew was still further shaken
up when Lightfoot was taken from
the junior boat and put in Dick Sui
liyan's place at 2 in the senior barge.
This change is not necessarily per.
manent, and was done partly to give
Sullivan chance to work out in his
pair-oar. but the fact remains that
within three days five out of six men
have been replaced in the senior
crew. The only senior left In his
seat is Grace, at bow. and within two
weeks Of regatta day this is admit.

me to explain where they come in for
such words. First, McCarty is only 20.
years old. and O'Brien stiiI younger
bysa year. McCarty is the strongest
and most powerful puncher among the
heayies, even now, before his strength

in his class at landing blows and keep

him. He's even the superior OF

0'Brien lacks what McCarty has,
while McCarty lacks what O'Brien
has.
Two years in the ring, with his cam

able McCarty to make q punch at the
spot he aies for, and also would give

should bring O'Bfien from the light

he has been growing In the last two
years. and he should develop into an
exact replica of what his big brother
was in years gone by. Eventually, he
might even be a heavyweight, but we
doubt 1t. As a middle, he would make
a fighter much after the pattern of
Nike Gibbons, the st. PauI spectre.
O'Brien and McCarty are fine names

INTERESTING POINTS BROUGHT OUT BYE /. PAXTON
AIIEARINGB BEFORE SECRETARY FISHER YESTERDAY

in its infancy you are familiar with
the way things work out elsewhere
it Is reasonable to suppose that hu
man nature is the same here as else
where.
A. Some people think the climate
affects them, but / don't.
O. What reason Is there for sup.
posing that in contest OF that sort
that the homesteader being depend
eht upon single cannery without
competition will not have to sell his
pineapples to that cannery at the
lowest price that the pineapple can
merry Is willing to pay, and what rea
son is there to suppose that he -.
: A. think mutual interest will pre-
vent 1t. Besides i don't see what
would prevent the homesteaders get
ting together and building cannery
of their own.
Fisher: You have spoken of the
difficulty of getting capital from the
mainland for railroad building, what
chance would the homesteaders have?
Paxton: think mutual interest,
will work towards fair price The

The factory the pineapple factories
have found II and will find 1t more
and more difficult to get labor to run
their own plantations.
@. ] am told that already the price
of pineapples here has been cut in
two, that is, the price for which the
pineapple cannery is willing to pay
for pineapples is only half of what 1t
used to be- Fors instance, / have a
letter here signed by Mr. Hutchin-
son, Mr.. o. L. or o. E. Hutchinson,
dated Honolulu, about cannery at
Hilo. DO you know anything about
that?
A. | do not I know there was a
small cannery started there under
very unfavorable. conditions. 1t was
started when the market was entire
ly overstocked with pines and lack of
capital caused its failure.
Q. Well of course, If that is "a cor
rect statement of the facts it would
apparently indicate that the pineapple
landlord was at a distinct disadvan.
tage If he had only one cannery to
whom he could sell his pines.
A. Well, on this island there are
several canneries.
@. On which Island?
A. On the Island of Oahu.
O.. Are those canneries so situated

Elmer 81. Paxton Of Alexander &
Baldwin, gave Interesting testimony
before Secretary Fisher yesterday
which, owing to lack Of space. was
not published In yesterdays issue. II
is as follows;
Q. recall Mr. Swanzy's state
ment was. generally speaking, to the
effect that 10 acres would be about
q minimum and that white farmers
or farmers from the mainland ought
TO have homesteads several times
that size.
A. Ny experience Is little
@. Mr.. Ashford estimated 40 acres
to the man. six or seven times as
much as YOU
A. | can give you exact figures on
one of the plantations--S.41 acres.
@. You said that you charge them
for planting and furrowing only the
actual cost!
@. In arriving at that cost do you
make any charge for carrying you
mean the actual cost of labor and
wear AMI tear of machinery?
A. Yes.
@. How large Is that?
A. That / could not tell you off
hand.
Fisher: Now. you have spoken Of
the other experiment which. as | un
oerstand IL, has to do with pineapple
lands-you have built railroad and
have taken steps to see that canning
facilities are increased. What as
surances will the homesteader have
there in regard to the charges of the
canning?
Paxton; The fruit is delivered by
the homestcader to the cannery and
the canilery pays for the fruit deliv
cred on the cars. on contract for
years.
O. What would be the position oil
the homesfeader at the expiration Of
the seven years?
A. It means that the cannery viii
have to renew the contract with them
if It wants fruit.
q. He will have to renew his con
tract or have his fruit rot on the
ground.
A. Ii Is mutual.
q. Would not the homesteader be

A. Il mas not worked out so fal
in the pineapple industry.

the transportation that one hand
A. Probably will not be for tw OF
that there is no particular necessity
for regulating steamship rates af the
present time?
Paxton: don't think there is any
necessity now.
@. Are the steshaship lines largely
owned by the planting interests?
A. / could not say as to that.
@. Are they working In coopera-
ton with the planting interests
through the fact that the same people
own stock in the steamship com.
panies and in the plantationsis
there a community interest between
the steamship lines and the planta.
tions?
A. None that I know of.
@. / have been told that there was.
A. So far as we are concerned,
there is nothing between our company
and the inter island steamship COM
ypany. In fact, at one time we thought
of building steamer of our own, as
we didn't think we were being treated
fairly in the matter of freight.
@. Wouldn't public utilities COM
mission serve a useful function in re-
moving that objection7 q
A. Probably if you got the right
kind of men on the commission.
@. That brings me to the other
question of these activities to which
you have referred and that have been
engaged in by the planting interests,
such as the experiment station Why
haven't the planting interests had
those enterprises carried on by the
local government rather than starting
a semi-public or private enterprise?
Paxton. Well, think the planters
have felt that this proposition could
be handled better by the planting in
;terests. We have to get the very best
talent that can Sbe secured in the
world. We pay high salaries. to get
the best specialistsst We cannot al
ways get that through governmental
activity. There is always so much
politics and red tape The Board of
Agriculture here is doing good work;
they are doing the very best they can
under the circumstances. To accom-
plish the results for the planters re-
quires the expenditure of large sums
of money and it requires quick action.
In about 1902 or 8 pest appeared
which threatened to annihilate the
sugar industry. 1t multiplied so rap
idly. The only thing that could be
done was to get the best specialist to
go to foreign countries and find a
parasite to destroy that pest, and they
did It.
