DEATH AND DAMAGE
is DUE TO FLOODS
LandsIides Cut Off Plantation
and Destroy Provisions
Thirty Drowned.

A story of death and disaster in the
Federated Malay States from floods was
received yesterday in letter from the
manager Of the Pahang Rubber planta.
tion in Pahang State, by Secretary +.
7. p. Waterhouse, of the Waterhouse
Company, Limited, Stangenwald build.
ing, rubber factors. From the brief
report made in this letter it appears
that there has been a lively time
throughout the states on the Malay
Peninsula following very heavy rains.
At the city of Tras, in Pahang, the
floods did great amount of damage
and thirty people were drowned, roads
were swept away and bridges across
streams carried off.
On the Pahang Rubber plantation all
the bridges were swept away except
one, while the roads were paddy dam
aged and in some places washed out
entirely. In the mountains the gov.
eminent road was practically destroy
ed by landslides.
SO far as the rubber trees are con
cerned little if any damage was done
but two wagonloads of rice which were
being brought in over the government
road for the coolies on the plantation
were buried in one of the landslides
and lost This made scarcity of rice
and for a time it looked as though
half rations of this cereal would have
to be issued, but cable dispatch, sent
after the letter was mailed, stated that
everything was all right again, al
though the plantation had been cut of
from the outside world for five days.
All through the Federated Malay
States there is something of a famine
in rice and the prices of this food there
has increased more than fOurfold since
the floods The government, however
has stepped to the front, under direc
ton of the British resident minister
and afforded relief by sending in guam
titles of rice from the outside.
Mr.. Waterhouse has also received
from the Tanjong Olok Plantation sam
Piles of the raw rubber produced there
this season, one of them being sam
pie of the grade which brought the
highest price in Singapore during the
month of December. This is a fine
grade of yellow coagulated rubber and
fetched $l.0S pound in Singapore. So
far as known the Tanjong Olok Plan
tation has not suffered from the floods
which devastated other sections of the
Malay States.

.HAWA||ANs HEARD BY
HOUSE COMMITTEE

On Saturday, January 20, b. II. Riv-
enburgh, secretary to Mayor Fern, was
permitted to make brief statement
before the committee on Territories at
Washington, on the Fairchild public
lands bill Mr.. Rivenburgh was anxi-
Gus to return to Hawaii and the com
mittee allowed him to speak ahead Of
scheduled time. On January 81 Mr..
Rivenburgh left for the Coast.
l.. S. Conness, editor of the Hilo Her
aid, who has been in Washington for
several weeks in the interest of his
street railway franchise at Hilo, was
also given a hearing by the committee
ON Territories the same day. The com.
mittee took no definite action.

COMMITTEE IS NOT
A SPENDING BODY
So Says MiIverton, to Great Dis
may of City Roads
Committee.
fFrom saturdav's Advertiser.l

Hereafter the road committee will be
an advisory adjunct to the board OF
supervisors and have no initiative re
garding the spending of road fund ex,
cept such as is especially delegated to
it by the board, which is certainly
tough for the road committee members
and the elections coming on.
From now on, according to action
taken yesterday, the committee will
submit its estimates month by month
in advance and will be held to account
for the carrying out of the specified
items in the estimates, while the road
department-not the committees to
do the spending.
The matter was forced by an opinion
from Deputy County Attorney Milver.
ton, who said he had been requested to
give an opinion as to whether the road
committee is authorized, under the rules
of the board, to expend the appropri
alton for road purposes, or whether the
amount of such appropriation should be
expended by the head of the road de.
partment, unless otherwise ordered by
the board.
The city attorney said that "primar-
lily the duty of a committee of board
of supervisors is to conduct investi-
cations and prepare data for the con-
sideration of the board, and in connec-
ton with such investigations to make
recommendations to the board if it de-
slres, which the board may either ac-
cept or reject. In the absence of any
action on the part of the board the
various appropriations should be ex-
pended by the head of the department.
The charter of the city and county of
Honolulu does not grant to committees
of the board any authority to make
expenditures, and whatever power ex-
lists as to committees must be looked
for in the action of the board itself
This would apply to all committees.
The rules do not seem to contemplate
anything further than investigation
(by committees), the preparation of
data and submission of the results to
the board. Whether or not the COM
mittee in question should, prior to the
first of each month, submit to the board
its estimate of expenditures for the
following month, so that the same may
be adopted by the board, depends upon
the wishes of the board. Under the
rules it would seem that such com.
mittee is not specifically required to
take any such action. The board,
however, may by FIVE affirmative votes,
as required by its rules, amend the
rules 50 as to clearly place this duty
on the road committee"
Supervisor Low wanted the same rule
applied to all committees and looked
grieved when his colleagues laughed at
his suggestion.

WIRELESS TALKS At
NIGHT WITH COAST

The report of the catching of wire
less message at the Pail receiving sta
ton from Kansas City, which reached
The Advertiser Thursday night, appears
to have filtered through enough people
to have been greatly exaggerated be-
fore it reached The Advertiser copy
desk, although there was enough in the
story to make it an important one for
Hawaii in particular and for the whole
world of wireless in general. Honolulu
did not "hear" Kansas City at all,
but did receive long message from
San Francisco, in the course of which
the Coast man stated that he was in
constant touch with the Missouri town.
The message received here, which
came without an interruption was as
follows:
You should be getting this much
better than before. We are han
ding commercial business as far
east as Kansas City and will soon
have Chicago in commission. We
had twenty messages from Kansas
City yesterday, which is doing
very well for start. We average
twenty-five messages an hour on
this string all day which is equal
to the quad wires of the Western
Union and other companies. Will
have the rapid wire ready in two
or three weeks. 1t has been given
severe test between here and Los
Angeles and Portland and is o. K.
up to two hundred words per min
ute. Will cut out now.
Manager Balch states that Honolulu
is now able to talk without trouble to
San Francisco any night, but the tests
so far during the day have not given
good results. Constant experiments are
going on in the effort to establish day
time communication, with the object of
establishing a Coast to Honolulu com
mercial service as soon as practicable

SPECIAL RATES
FOR ISLANDERS

Special rates for island people who
wish to see the Floral Parade on Febru-
airy 20 is now an immediate object
sought by the merchants association,
At the meeting of the directors yester-
day afternoon a special committee was
appointed to confer with the promotion
committee ON that subject and both the
lnter-lsland Steam Navigation Com
pany and the Oahu Railroad will be
asked to provide special rates for the
gala occasion.
The association is anxious to increase
the attendance at the parade in every
way possible. AS the mainland is be-
ing well canvassed in that regard, it
win turn its attention to bringing in
the residents of the other islands and
will attempt to provide every facility
possible.
The standing committees Of the as
sociation were appointed yesterday by
President Gignoux, but have not been
announced as the formal aeceptances
have not yet been received.

FRISCO SYDNEY
SAILING IN JUNE
Effort Being Made by Australian
to Boost Market for Anti
podeS Products.

The Frisco to Sydney sailings of the
Oceanic s, S, Company will be resumed
in June says letter from Mel Nielsen,
of Australia, to the Hands Around the
Pacific Club. The letter in part is as
follows:
81 am just back from trip to
Vancouver, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland, in all of which places
had the privilege of making speeches
/ of course made the big point the ne
cessity of better trade on the Pacific
so that we shall not only have closer
intercourse with each other and so
know each other better, but so that we
of the Pacific may, all cooperate.
invariably secured an enthusiastic
cheer on striking this note, so that
feel that the heart of the American ma
tion, usually looked upon as of such
utilitarian instincts, can be stirred up
by the sentiment upon which our Hands
Around movement is built.
"The boats that are to run between
Frisco and Sydney will be ready il
June next, they will of course call nj
Honolulu, and l hope to be able to gel
an Australian company to start a line
direct to Puget Sound, if L can get
the most Objectionable clauses of the
coastwise shipping laws modified. II
this comes about this line will call al
your port also. | feel the more ships
we can get into the Pacific the easier
we will find cargoes for them all if we
go about it in the right way.
''There is splendid market there
for our frozen meat, for our hardwoods
butter, hides and leather, it only wants
developing.
At the Hands Around the Pacific
meeting yesterday it was also announc.
ed that the President of Peru would
act as an honorary president of the
Hands Around and organize branch of
the movement in the Peruvian capital.
The organization now has branches en-
tirely around the big Ocean and every
one of them is necessarily booster for
Hawaii.
Mr. Mel Nielsen will probably re-
turn to Honolulu in April.

cratic staff and be the color bearer OF
the party in the territorial campaign
for delegate to congress.
This is the announcement of promi-
nent Democrats (of the McCandless
brandt who say that faction or no fac.
tion, the feeling of Democrats from
various islands is in favor of Link be-
ing again the "choice of the party"
to lead the Bourhons against the Repub.
licans. They don't care who is selected
by the Republicans. McCandless will
be their man and will run again for
congress
This is another indication that the

that Link $ check book will show more

The factions in the Democratic party
are still wide apart and the effort to
conciliate the Jarrett faction has not
borne fruit However, the Democrats
will open wide their precinct campaign
next Tuesday evening at Pauoa, when
the tenth and twelfth precincts will
join forces to make it lively session.
All the prominent Democrats will be
present, including McCandless.
On Friday night the territorial cam
paign will be opened and the full plans
for the campaign will be broached.

FATHER OF WILLIAM
C. LEONARD DEAD

Colonel Edmund Jerome Leonard,
father of William G.. Leonard, of The
Advertiser editorial STAFF according to
the last mail advices received from New
York, died there on January o, in the
eightieth year of his life, and was
buried at the Fort Covington Cemetery
on the eleventh.
Colonel Leonard at the time of his
death was a special agent and attorney
of the pension bureau, with offices in
the Whitehall Building, New York City,
though his residence was at New Ro-
chelle. During most of his life he was
in the government service in one ca
pacity or another, and had a most in
teresting career.
Born in Boston on February %, 1882,
he graduated from Boylston School and
was admitted to the bar. Later he
joined the Massachusetts, Militia, and
at the time of the famous antislave riot
over the escaped slave Burns was in
command of the Bay State Artillery
which escorted the fugitive from the
old State House to the Long Wharf,
whence government vessel took Burns
back to his "owners" in Virginia.
Civil War Record.
Upon the outbreak of the Civil War
Colonel Leonard assisted in the organ
ia2tion of the 9sth New York and went
to the front as captain of company
A. He was brevetted major at Fair Oaks
Swamp, made major at Malvern Hill,
where he was wounded, and left the
service in 1864 as lieutenant colonel of
volunteers. AT the close of the war he
was given post in the war department
and afterwards made special attorney
of the pension bureau.
In 1888 Colonel Leonard was elected
member of Assembly from Westches-
ter county, New York, and three years
later became surrogate and probate
judge. A lifelong Republican, he count
ed among his best friends of his earlier
days the late Vice President William
A. Wheeler of New York, and the late
Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson,
of Boston, who had asked him to re.
sign his command in the Massachusetts
guard when the order came for the Bay
State Artillery to escort the fugitive
slave Burns to the awaiting warship
Colonel Leonard, then Captain Leonard,
refused to comply with Higginson's
wishes, but assuring him that in the
conflict both deemed inevitable over
the slavery question he, Leonard, would
be found on the right side.
Colonel and Mrs. Leonard had
planned on spending the winter at st.
Andrews Bay, Florida, intending to
leave on January 10. On the ninth he
died on the way to his office.
