Per Hour

A policy of strictly government
ownership and control of Territorial
larbor and wharf facilities is con
tained in rules submitted to the
beard of harbor commissioners this
afternoon for the use of the big fuel
Gil pipeline for the local waterfront
The rules were submitted to the
board this afternoon by Commits
sioner James Wakefield, and put in
definite form proposal of term on
" hich the board may allow Oil com.
panies operating here to use the ten
inch line. The use of this line has
already given rise to some contro
persy, the Associated Oil Company
protesting igainst the joint-user plan.
Nevertheless, the rules as outlined
today are in accord with a definite
policy of government control, nom
leasing and joint-user. Commission
er Wakefield does not believe that
the oil companies will experience any
serious disadvantages in the joint use
of pipes, and he is convinced that it
would be a mistake to lease the gov
ernment pipeline to any one company

this morning, "and r believe that is
sound policy not only in the operation
of government pine-lines, but Of other
harbor facilities. .-,..
The rules submitted this afternoon
are as follows:
Control Of Pipe Line.
o. The pipe line shall be under
the control of an employe of the
Board of Harbor Commissioners who
shall work in conjunction with the
firms, corporations, or individuals
using the pipe line; so that every fa-
cility will be secured for the prompt
and accurate despatch of the deliv

users of fuel oil.
Charges for Use Of Line.
(2f For the first six months of it's
use, the charge shall be at the rate
of .O1h per barrel Of oil pumped
through the line either from ships to
tanks, or from tanks to ships, or
other users of fuel oil. After this
reriod. the charge for the use of the
line shall be based to cover

STILL
ON PRISON BOARD

Rufus Lyman, the secretary of the
board of license commissioners at
Hilo, who Is accused of embezzlement,
has not yet resigned from his MEN,
bership on the BOARD of prison in
spectors. Questioned on this point
Governor Frear today replied. that the
resignation received from Lyman yes
terday mentioned only the license
commission. The Governor added.
however, that Lyman's term on the
prison board expired some time ago
and that he has been merely holding
over until the appointment of a sue
cessor. The executive could not say
how soon this appointment will be
made, but is inclined to believe that
Lyman's resignation from the license
commission carries the inference that
he desires relief from both jobs.
The Governor declined to confirm a
state ment from Hilo to the effect that
Lyman's last reappointment was op-
posed by some of the commissioners.
r. Lyman was first appointed to the
position by the former governor" said

Delegates Advisers Urge Him
to Make Campaign With
out Personalities

Delegate Kuhio has been besought
urged, importuned by the men most
prominent now in his campaign for
reelection to eliminate from that
campaign any reference to the "Ku
hio-Frear controversy" Moreover
when the0 Delegate left this morning
on a stumping tour of Hawaii and
Maui, he was believed by his most
intimate friends to be acquiescent to
their wishes. n.5
Before the delegate made his
speech at Aala park last night, he
was asked by one or two Of his clos
est associates not to go into his
fight against Gov. Frear. The story
that comes out of las; nights meet-
ing is that Lorrin Andrews. one OF
-Kuhio's campaign managers, wanted
The prince to sail into EN-, . in other
words, to go into his fight with Frear
and make that feature Of his
speech. From Kuhio headquarters
earlier in the day came the intima-
lion that the prince would make the
fur fly last night. But he didn't. He
started his speech with the statement
that those who had come expecting
a sensation from himssin the way of
reference to his controversy would
be disappointed, Instead OF going in
10 this, the delegate tUnfented MIN
self with feiferating his previously
published statements that he wants a
more liberal construction of the land
laws and more encohragement for a
middle class in Hawaii.
According to the story, Andrews
was somewhat disappointed after the
meeting at what was considered the
mildpess OF the princes speech, but

ers, who have urged him to eliminate
the gubernatorial controversy, were
very happy at the tone of Kuhio's ad.

This morning Kuhio's friends felt
that a way had been opened to a
