Natl Committeeman Shown to
Have Endorsed Hawaiian
Residents for Vacancies

Coming to the defense of National
Committeeman John H. Wilson against
the charge by number of prominent
Democrats that he is trading off Ha-
waii patronage in an effort to insure
the appointment of L. L. McCandless
Jas governor, the territorial central
committee through Chairman Pacheco
has made public letters written by
Wilson relating to judiciary nomina-
Itions for Hawaii. .....@ ~.
1t is stated that while Wilson has
worked against James L. Coke for dis
trict attorney and has agreed to the
appointment of mainlander for the
position, this is the only office for
which he has not urged the appoint
ment of men locally resident =.
The letters, copies of which were
sent to the committee by Wilson, give
an inside view into some of the polit-
ical work of the committee and the ma
tional committeeman for several weeks

Charges by James L. Coke that he

A statement of the facts relating to
the division of the conservation fund,
the settlement of which will be car
ried 10 the supreme court and which
involves a difference of $4,000 in the
territorial board of immigration's ex-
chequer, was drawn up and passed
upon at a meeting of the board at 2
o'clock this afternoon, and will be
PRESENTED to the governor today. The
matter has arisen because of the re-
cent income tax decision.
Among other things set forth in the
statement, the board Of immigration
claims that the sum of $40 0.231.31,
the unexpended part Of three-fourths
of the conservation tax collected be-
lore April 30, 1913, under the proyi-
sions of Act 80, session laws of 1909,
is available for the use of the board
as if Act 164 of the session laws of
1913 had not been passed. The pre-
sentation of the statement of facts to
the governor this afternoon, it is
hoped, will bring about speedy de-
cision in the matter by the supreme
court. The law firm of Holmes, Stan
ley & Olson has been retained to act
for the board
Action was taken by the board on
two sets of bills, the first amounting
to $4250.7S and the second to $1s7p.44,
both sets being approved. 1t was de

Interpretation of the new statute.
Though the contest, as now out

cidentally at least, settle the ambigu-
ity o. abe law where it. recites that an

Of the statute was that only taxes

BY the Chinese bringing the test

opinion of Attorney General Thayer,
says Col. Mccarthy, because the
same tribunaI has heretofore held
that all taxes are due the first of

Interest in the arrival of the gift
battle-cruiser New Zealand, which will
reach here tomorrow afternoon about
4 o'clock, continues to grow, and with
it the plans for the entertainment Of
the officers OF the vessel are rapidly
expanding. Aside from the Official
ceremony of welcoming the arrival Of
a foreign ship of war, and the formal
call of Rear Admiral Moore, Governor
Frear, Consul Renters of Great Brit
ain, Consul General CanavarIo of Por-
tugal and Consul General Eitaki of
Japan, and representatives of other
foreign countries, on Captain Halseyi
and officers of the New Zealand, soci-
ETY. is planning an active part in the
entertainment of the officers of the
New Zealand, and functions additional
to those enumerated in the Star
Bulletin yesterday may be given.
Messages received from the vessel
indicate that it will arrive here at the
time first given by Captain Halsey, at
o'clock Saturday. Lieutenant Ste
vens, acting on behalf of Rear Admiral
Moore, will board the cruiser out OF
harbor, offering the courtesies of the
port to Captain Halsey and chart of
Honolulu channel and harbor. In
quiries swere made by wireless last
night as to the minimum, mean and
maximum draughts of the ship. The
answer. was received by Rear Admir-
al Moore last night, saying:
Beam, 81 feet; draught, on arrival,
2S feet aft, 25.6 feet forward;
draught, after eealing, 80 aft, zS.9I
feet forward.
( The figures show that the vessel
will be able to enter the harbor with
out difficulty. 1t will be given a
berth at the Eva side of the Alakea
wharf, to which pilot boat will take
it after the first courtesies, the firing
of twenty-one gun salute to the
American flag, and the reply salute
to the British flag by the battery OF
Fort Armstrong.
