that all the followers of the colonel
who are candidates for once on regu
lar tickets can not AFFORD to accept his

der it. Governor Stnbbs OF Kansas is
mentioned as an Illustration OF this
maxim. He is an avowed candidate for
the United States Senate. He can not
hope for success as a bolter. It Is es-
sential above all things that he remain

make his fight along regular lines.
Those supporting him can not AFFORD to
be classified as out of the organiza-
tion.
The overthrow of Roosevelt In Chi
cago had been fully anticipated, and it
is not believed at this early hour that
Colonel Roosevelt's detection will ma
terially imperil Republican success in
November. He may knife the Taft
ticket, and some of his most intimate
followers will do likewise. but the in
dications are that the great mass OF
those who shouted for the. colonel in
the primaries and at Chicago will be-
come regular long before November.

From their talk am convinced that
a number of big syndieates are anxious

TALKS Of AMENDMENT
Proposed Increase in Capital
Stock Not Opposed or Ap-
proved, He Says

-.r Z =
John 4. McCrosson. the irrigation
/ king, returned IN the wnhelmina this
; morning from Washington. where he
has spent some months in the inter.
est of the Kau ditch franchise bill.
He comes home feeling well as
sured that the Bill will become a law
at the present session. Seen at the
Alexander Young Hotel by a Star
Bulletin reporter, he was asked about
the sidetrackine of the bill In the
Senate, as repofted BY q correspond.
ent of this papkr. through the objec-
ton of Mr. Bristow to taking it up
" hen reached q the Senate.
mr.. BristoR# objection was mere
ly on account q the absence of Mr..
Poindexter, a iember Of the commit
tee on the Pa dc Islands and Port
Rico. who was away doing politics.
1t was desirable to have Mr.. Poin-
dexter present, owing to pending
amendment proposed by Mr.. Nelson
of Minnesota.
Limited Capital f<aticn.
::sE his anloAd1 -6Ht AEetld limit llle
capitalization of the company to $3,-
100000 bonds and $50 500, 900 stock.
We felt that this would injure the
chances of the bill, as our intention
is to have just about half of that
amount to build the ditch. What
would hurt us is the proposition that
the Congress of United States should
authorize - corporation to water its
stock to the extent of 100 per cent
Still it would injure our interests
only witha the members of the cpm2
mittee who did not attend the meet
ings. So far as the thing itself is
concerned it is matter Of indiffer'
'ence to US.
Il think the amendment viii be-
eliminated, however, and the bin pass
the Senate in the same form as ii
passed the House. Oh, yes, be-
lieye it will pass at this session. 4
am not going back to Washington.
Mr.. E. M. Watson is looking after
the matter there.
Not Fighting Amendment.
There is no fight on our part but
merely a difference among the mem
bers of the committee. 1t is imma-
terial to us whether the amendment
goes in or not, excepting for, the one
thing that if it goes in the bill will
have to go to conference.
."The Wahiawa water question is
entirely in the hands of the War De-
Iartment. We have no bill regard
ing it in Congressathis session,
Il believe that ultimately all the
water not required by the War De
partment will be put up at auction
That seems to be the opinion of a.
majority of members Of both houses
who know anything about the subject.
Our intention is to go right ahead
with the Kau ditch enterprise when
ever the bill is passed. The com
pany has not yet been organized It's
total capital would not exceed fhreel
and half million dollars at the but
side''
s, Mr.. McCrosson enjoyed excellent
health during his absence and re
turns feeling and looking well.

Roosevelt Man Opposes Third
Party Here in Interests
of Organization

Returning from Hilo this morning.
Joel Cohen took occasion to announce
that he viii be candidate foR the
Senate at the coming election. He
also declared that although. he IS a
Roosevelt man, he is opposed to the
formation of a third party, more par
ticularIy in Hawaii, where he declares
such move would be fatal to the sue
cess of the Republican cause in the
Territorial elections.
Il had not intended to announce my
candidacy at this time,' said Mr.. Cohen
this morning, but talked of my pur-
pose in Hilo. and as the news has
reached Honolulu. it may be said that
am in the race.
In this connecticut want to go on
record as being opposed to the forma-
tion of third party in Hawaii / am
a Roosevelt man, and wanted to see
him nominated at Chicago. believe
that he would have swept the country
for a Republican victory, and l also
believe that If he runs as third party
nominee. President Taft will be the
third man in the race.
But notwithstanding my views as to
Roosevelt, / believe a third party in
the Islands would only result in de-
stroying the Republican organization
here and giving the Democrats the vic
tory. The latter were never so strong

FREAR BACK
PLA|NS
VOTES
1.-TWO Ballots for the Roosevelt
Forces were for Good
of Hawaii"

For the good of Hawaii" is the
succinct explanation of the Hawaiian
delegations two votes with the Roose
yelt forces at the Chicago convention,
given by Governor Frear. spokesman
for the delegation. who arrived home
this morning on the Wilhelmina.
For four days we had been getting
In close touch with the situation. when
that vote on McGovern for chairman
came UP. We were not instructed by
the Taft forces and took the response
bility Of the action on our own shoul-
ders.
But there were conditions prevailing
at that time that. in many ways, Ha-s
waiIan people do not realize existed
We found that our ballot would not
swing the tide either way, knew it could
not injure Taft. knew our Instructions
did not compel ue 10 vote, with his men
on the point at tssue, and felt that by
casting our lot temporarily with Roose-.
welt we would be employing a bit of
political tactics that might help the
Territory.
Vote Created Surprise.
~Of course, when our vote was an
nounced. it created some surprise on
both sides. la,t llse Fpft pnen we're spdrI
reassured and when they understood
our position agreed that we had done
what was right
The Governor made no comment
tending either to confirm or deny the
rnmor that the vote for McGovern help
ed obtain definite promise. of Frear's
reappointment. and checked possible
moves 20 reduce the Hawaiian delegation
from six to two or four members
He termed Hawaiis stand with
Roosevelt on the contested California
delegates as purely decision between
right and wrong" in which, as in the
former case. the Territorial delegates
were not bound by their instructions
and felt that no momentous result
hinged on their attitude.
Made Grave Error.
1--WE were inclined to think that. the
Taft forces. as a matter of political
tact, should not have opposed the
seating OF the two contested California \
delegates. but should have let them
in, as they did the Texas men. III
they had consented to seating the Cali
fornla men We believe they would have
eliminated large portion of the ILL
feeling between the factions, so that
the split in the party might have been
avoided.
1--WE believed at the time that the
Taft men were making big tactical
mistake. The intense feeling aroused
by the California demonstration would
not have occurred. and at the same
time Taft's strength would not have
been seriously weakened

 As far as can be ascertained not another physician in the city or town could have been induced to take the place at the isolation hospital at any figure and S200 per week is consid- cred little enough for the services of an expert on smallpox. The town or Windham paid its health officer, pr. F. E.

CLEARING HOUSE CHARGES
 ON CHECK COLLECTIONS,
Wickersham Wants to Know Whether
 the Practice Violates Law.

Washington Aug 13.-A collateral phase of the so-called money trust 1t developed today, is being investigated by Attorney General Wickersham. The inquiry, which may affect clearing house associations throughout the country, revolves about the rule of the New York Clearing House asso- citation requiring it's members to charge a specified sum for the cOllec- ton of out of town cheeks drawn on certain parts of the country and al the same time giving them discretion whether to make charges for similar collections in other localities. A care ful and thorough study of the working of this rule is being made by the at torney general, it is said, to determine whether the Sherman antitrust law or the national bank act Is being vio- lated. If action is taken, 1t will stand as a precedent for all clearing house associations having similar rules.
 While officials of the department of justice are reticent in regard to the inquiry, it is learned that the attor- ney general may refer the whole ques- ton to the secretary of the treasury for remedial measures through the comptroller of the currency If 1t is found that the law is being techni- cally violated through the growth of years or that the practice, while not illegal, seems against public policy.
