Francis Gay

If there is any foundation to the
rumor that has been circulated about
town for the past week, the moneyed
interests on the island of Kauai are
bringing pressure to bear at Washing

Mr.. Gay was reached over the tele-

They contend that an investigation
of the facts and circumstances con-
cerning the convention, and of the
controversy relative to Governor
Frear's desired reappointment, will
show that an attempt has been made
on the part of the Governors friends
TO deceive the administration in their
efforts to show that his reappointment
is demanded by the citizens of the
territory. 1t is doubtful If Messrs.
Holstein and Parker call upon Secre-
tary Fisher in reference to the mat
ter, as they believe that he has pre-
judged the case and that it would be
useless to submit facts to him.

declared Fred l.. Waldron, shortly
after he had reached his office, after
arriving home from a six weeks trip
to the Coast. Mr.. Waldron has con-
sistently been one of the most ardent
believers in Hawaii's future as tour
list center, and he has been one of
the strongest hackers of promotion
work for the islands both officially
and unofficially. During his recent
trip which included visits to Portland
and Puget Sound, as we'll as San
Francisco, he studied the situation
closely from a mainland viewpoint,
and comes to the conclusion that his
optimism is well founded.
Mr.. Waldron states that the pros

service with the islands from San
Francisco is excellent; although he
also believes that the increase in
traffic will probably more than keep
pace with the improved shipping. De-
signs for the new Matson liner, which
have been accepted, Mr.. Waldron
says, indicate very fine vessel, with
passenger accommodations that will
excel anything at present on the Pa
cific. The new boat will have accom-
modations for 25O first-class passen-
gers, and will be ready for service,
according to Captain Matson, within
years time.

of the early edition of one of the
New York evening papers. One
morning, just before press time, a
bulletin came in saying Chas. Schwat
had been made president of the steel
trust at a salary of $1,00O.000 pei
year. Bennett reduced it to a para.
graph, wrote a one-line head over it
and stuck it on an inside page. When
the regular city editor came down he
almost had fit.
Good land, mani" he stormed
"Why didn't you smear that story
all over the first page with a big

A half million dollars is to be ap-

the state will have to appropriate

be increased between $1,000 and $40
900 by decision of the Lee county
district court, according to w. b.
Barney, state dairy and food COM
