INTERMEDIATE
SERVICE

The popularity achieved by the ToyC
Kisen Kaisha in the operation o. an
intermediate steamship in the San
Francisco-Hon honolulu and Oriental rum
has warranted the big Japanese
steamship company coming to the de.
cision that an additional steamer is
required to properly take care of the
business now offered. = ~. =
With the arrival of the liner Shinyo
Maru from China and Japa nports
this morning, it was definitely learned
that one of the important matters
under consideration at the head C>fice
of the company at Toxic, dhring the
recent visit of Assistant General Man
ager WI H. Avery to Japan some
weeks ago, was the placing of adj
ditional tonnage in the intermediate
service -. e.
On or about the first of March, the
Hongkong Maru. we'll known to ship
ping people and trans-Pacific travel
ers. is TO enter the Far East and the
Pacific Coast of the. United States. A
joint schedule with the Pacific Mail
will soen be drafted, which is TO in
cfude the Hongkong Maru in connee-
tion with the other vessels in the
Toyo Kisen Kaishas now trayersing
the "semi-tropical route" -t.a
The Hongkong Maru is to arrive
here on or about January 1, with gem
eral cargo destined for Central and
South American ports. 1t is stated
today, that the present voyage to the
west coast of South America will be
the last in that service. Upon return

MURRAY SCORES
MAYOR At
Meeting

Supervisor Murray assailed Mayor
Fern in sharp terms at a meeting OF
the board of supervisors this after
noon.
What angered Murray in the first
place was the fact that the clerk had
not managed to nave certain money
resolutions advertised in time for the
board to act IN them at this meeting.
The mayor had been praised, Muir
ray taunted his honor, for his action
in regard 10 the Kalakaua avenue
parking scheme. 1t would have been
better, he went on to remark, If the
mayors pet papers had roasted him
for holding up resolutions carrying
appropriations for necessary road
work. The chances were, the irate
supervisor threatened, that the ma
yor's proposition for lighting Kala-
kaua avenue would be voted down at
third reading.
There are two resolutions In the
hands for approval-oE- OF

DELEGATE FROM
PHILIPPINES
HOPEFUL

Hon. NJ. L. Quezon, delegate from
the Philippine islands to Congress, is
registered as passenger on board
the 5hinyo MaIn. arriving this morn.
ing from the Orient. The fact that
Quezon was on the Shinyo was sur.
prise 10 local friends, as ne was not
expected here for some time.
Quezon is lighting for the independ.
ence OF the Philippines, and an alleg-
ed interview in a New York paper
some months ago stirred up. the Amer
icans in the Philippines greatly. In
this interview Quezon was quoted as
making vague threats against Ameri-
can business interests in the Philip
pines. He insinuated, according to
his published statements, that after
the Filipinos were given control OF
their own affairs the American busi-
ness men would have to take a back
seat and some of the firms would be
driven out of business. Quezon's
friends retorted by saying that he
meant only that no American busi-
ness could ,trample on the little brown
men, and had no threat for legitimate
industry. ~
Mr. Quezon, interviewed as to Phil
ippine affairs, expresses himself as
confident that TIE Democratic party
win speedily grant Independence to
his conntrymen. He favors early au-
tonomy and does not agree with Mr..
Taft's latest ideas as to the time re-
quired for educating the Filipino 10

WASHINGTON, Dec. ai.-The
Pennsyivania Bridge Company was
low bidder on construction Of the
naval rasrazins AZ Pearl Harbor,
when proposals were opened here tbs
morning. The figure of the Pennsyi.
sanis concern is $ss,74o, the othes
bidders being the Concannon Com.
Lany Of san Francisco, S8e,ss0, and
the spaulding Construction Co, Of
Portland, ses,f4o The appropriation
available is $4,000.
The Pennsylvania Bridge Co. will
probably be given the contract. No
proposal was submitted by the Lord.
Ioung Engineering Co. Of Honolulu,
The naval magazine for the Pearl
Hnrbor station is to be located on
ISuahua Island, west of the drydock
entrance. and far enough removed
from il to minimize danger to the big
liasin and yard buildings in the event
OF any minor explosions. The maya.
zine plant. consists of five separate
buildings or reinforced concrete
their designation and the estimated
cost Of each being as follows:
Primer house. $4,000; magazine
building. $4,000; loaded shell house.
100000; fixed ammunition house, $25,.
600; high explosive house, $4,000
Only the construction of the actual
buildings will be let by contract,
money being appropriated for grad.
ing. and a lighting, sewage and street
system, TO be put in by yard labor.
WorE will be commenced as soon as
practicable after the contract is let
as 1t is the policy of the Bureau oil
Yards and Docks to rush all Pearl
Harbor work toward completion.
This is said to be the firts appear
ance of the Pennsylvania Bridge COM
pany in the local field. The Concan-
non company and the Spalding con-
cern have such ueavy interests In
Pearl Harbor work that they may al
most be classed as local firms.

SHOP WINDOWS
SETTING new
RECORD
Many Beautiful Designs, Good
Weather and Big Crowds
Expected Tonight &

Honolulu merchants are setting a
new record in the matter of tasteful
end effective window displays for the
holiday season. A round of the bust.
ness section of the city shows that the
retailers are alive as to the wisdom
of window dressing TO attract custom
ers, and more care has been lavished
on displays this year than ever be-
fore. 1t is a prosperous season and
the merchants are making the most
of the prosperity.
Not even the sprinklings of rain
daily could disturb the holiday
crowds. According to present indica,
tions, the weather will De good tc-
night, and great crowds are expected,
rs all shops will be open.
If one wera to make a critical in
spection of the display windows in
Honolulu as they now appear, he
would soon come to the conclusion
that many of them, If not all, are on
a par with those of the largest busi-
ness houses On the mainland, both in
attractiveness and beauty of design.
The merchants of the city seem to
have gone one better than last year,
bringing into their windows this year
many unique designs which are mo-
dels Of the window dresser's art, and
which attract the attention Of the
passeTs-by, causing them to stop for
a moment Besides the displays in
the windows, interior decorations in
keeping with the Christmas season
are playing prominent part in many
of the different business houses, and
in some instances, these, rather than
the Christmas goods which are on
display, are the first sources of
admiration. Business in Honolulu has
been larger than ever this year, and
many of the merchants are of the
opinion that an attractiyely decorat-
ed show window is almost as good as
the best-written advertisement
Among the many attractive win
dows noticed are:

of the interior decorating of that

WATER ON Lanai

Ii shocking as if the visit of Rev.

redemption of the island of Lanai
from the curse of aridity News from
the first well being driven where Mr..
Mason OWNED by his own sensations,
without using the twig, that water
should be found, was received this
morning, and it is highly favorable.
Although stream has not been
struck, strong seepage has developed
which gives excellent promise of a
copious flow being tapped
THE well is now down twenty five
feet in porous rock" said Cecil Brown
this morning. NO distinct stream
has yet developed, nothing but traces
of where the water is coming in, yet
on. Thursday night sixty-fiye gallons
of water collected in the pit, which
had to be bailed out before the men
could go to work in the morning.
They have commenced on any 9TH
er place yet, because We consider this
is the most important place. If we
get water here we will be able TO do
away with pumping water from Kai-
kolena gulch, where we have to keep
the pump going day and night now to
water the stock. The water there
comes from tunnel in the mountain.
Mr.. Munro, the manager. is very
much pleased with the prospect. it
should be remembered that this is the
dryest time that Lanai has had for
ten years, which makes the strong

ty-five feet, look all the more encour-
