Loaded down with leis, hung on him
by his many friends and well wishers
OF the service and civil life, Rear Ad-
miral Waiter G. Cowles sailed for the
Coast on the Manchuria this noon.
He was accompanied by Mrs. and Miss

Harbor, which / believe to be one Of
the most important projects of the
government at the present time. There
are many people in Honolulu who
don't as yet realize just what Pearl
Harbor means to the community, but
in a comparatively short time now
they will begin to feel the commercial
Importance of the new station. I be-
lieve that the delays and accidents to
the drydock are merely temporary
setbacks, incident to the solving of an
exceptionally difficult problem of en-
cheering, and the surmounting of
hitherto unencountered obstacles.
Eventually Pearl Harbor will have a
drydock as good as any in the
country"
Admiral Cowles had heard nothing
as to the date of his taking COM
mand of the Pacific fleet. He goes
to San Francisco to await orders, and
expects to learn something definite
on arrival there.
Asked If there was any chance Of
another visit to Honolulu by the Pa
cific fleet, Admiral CowIes said that
while he could make no definite pre-
diction, he thought it quite possible
that the fleet would be back here be-
fore long.

The smooth sailing which house bill
157, setting aside $4,000 for the en-
tertainment of notable guests, has
had in both houses wa schecked this
morning and one or two sensational
mariners predict rough weather
ahead.
When the bill appeared for its final
hearing in the senate this morning,
Senator Rice made an objection to its
passage at that time 1t was pointed
out by him that there was no re-
strictive cleanse in the measure de-
termining the particular distinguish
ed guests" who were to be enter
tanned by the officials out of the $780,
900 appropriation
Senator Chillingworth, who up to
that time had had his shoulder to the
bill, and had succeeded in rushing it
through its preliminary readings,
caught the point and asked that it be
deferred until this afternoon. His
motion prevailed.
Before the senate convened this
morning the financial committee held
a meeting on the bank examiner bills.

Brown, and also on the one offered
by Abe Lewis on behalf of the differ
cnt banking institutions of Honolulu.
1t was learned that the committee
is drafting new act, based upon the
Lewis one, and that it will recon-
mend that this measure he passed in
place of Senator Browns. 1t could
not be learned when the committee
will report on the bill.
The new bill. it was stated by a
member of the committee, will meet
with the approval OF the bankmen.
At a public meeting held recently, at
which time Mr.. Lewis submitted his
proposed measure. il was stated by
the bank men that they had no OBJ
lection to a law creating the Office

iections went merely to the procedure,
or the financial basis upon which the
work was to be done and to the ma
ture of the report to be submitted Ky

struggle on the point of whether it
should go to its final resting place or
be re-referred to the judiciary COM

Senator Makekau asked that the
latter action be taken, and Senator
Judd, chairman of the committee, sup
ported him. To explain the motion,
Senator Makekau stated that there
was another bill in the house. in many
ways similar. and that he desired his
measure to be sent to the Judiciary
