reference 60 Oahu. and the garrison
needed. The great Russo.Japancse war
had not been fought. We knew very
little of the power and military force
which that country was going TO dc.

arise as to where the big naval base
of the Pacific should be. Opinion

Gently. In 1909 it was understood that
there would be n naval base or station
in Manila Bay, but gradually the opin-
ion of the Navy has changed and they
have ultimately settled on Pearl Harbor
as their great Pacific base, and we nee
essarily have followed them. With the
development of that power (Asiatic
sea) and with the development of Pearl
Harbor and its adoption as great
base, at which n good many millions
are to be spent by the Navy, and have
been spent, we have been compelled to
be ready not in any uncertain way, but
in very certain way, to defend that
base, and that has resulted in our max
ing appropriations to have our entire
garrison there on war footing rather
than have only a portion of it there
and the rest in San Francisco. There.
fore, we have not made these changes
of our own volition, but we have been
making them as a part Of our policy in
which we have had to cooperate with

Secretary Stimson: 81 would like to
put in the record in substance an cpl.
tome of what was stated recently by
Colonel Morrison, representing the
Macomb Board, as the reason for the
defense of Oahu as it now appears. 1t
now develops that from n combined
naval and military standpoint, it is
necessary that the island of Oahu
should be made, as far as possible an
impregnable fortress TO prevent, on tho
one hand, any attack on the Pacific
Coast, and on the other hand because
it serves as the best, if not the only
practical defense for the western end

NO CEMENT GUN
At KAMEHAMEHA
MAJOR CHEATHAM MAKES soMH
CHANGES FOR PEARL HAIR
Dor BUILDINGS.

Maj, b. Frank Cheatham. quarter
master corps, who is in charge of con-
struction in Hawaii, has submitted some
important recommendation regarding
the type of construction of army build
ings at the coast artillery post at Ka-
mehameha, says the Army and Navy
Register. 1t is proposed not to make
use of the cement-gun type, which has
been used in the construction of Scho-
field Barracks, for the reason that the
buildings are under the mortars or near
the guns of the coast defenses. Major
Cheatham is in favor of type of con-
struction similar to that used by the
people of Honolulu. 1t win be possible
by this means to construct buildings
for the four companies of the coast ar
tillery to constitute the garrison for
100000, as compared with $356,500,
which was the orIginal est mate. Major
Cheatham in his memorandum on the
subject says:
lowing to the local conditions, and
particularly to the recent decision to
limit the cost of officers quarters in
Hawaii to $4,000 for company officer
and $4,000 for field officer, it is be-
lieved that this is IA case where excep-
ton to the rule of the war department
to construct permanent buildings only
should be made, and it is strongly rec
commended that all buildings be of
frame and only one story high.
1.-THE types of construction used 10.
cally have been carefully studied, and
it is found that, owing to the absence
of high winds, it is customary to use
an exceedingly light frame with single
walls. Such houses are almost universal
here and are not only satisfactory, but
are MS permanent as could be expected
from all-frame construction. The rela-
lively small amount of lumber used re.
duces the cost materially as compared
with standard frame construction in
the United States.p
Sketch plans for all buildings MT
Fort Kamehameha, based on the idea
above expressed, are now being pre-
pared and will be forwarded for con.
| sideration at an early date; the delay
in submitting them is due to the fact
that an engineer could not be spared
from Schofeld Barracks until now.
1t is estimated thar suitable build.

ROME, Italy, March 7.-(Special to
The Advertiser)-A graft scand Il, com
parable with the one connected with
the building and furnishing of the
Pennsylvania statehouse, threatens to
grow out of the arrest of Commenda-
tore Ricciardi and Signor Borelli, mem
bers of the firm of contractors who
built the now famous law courts.
The structure, which was twenty
years in building, cost the government
$s,000,000 instead of $1,200000, the
original contract price.
The result of a recent searching in
quiry led to charges of graft against
the contractors and of bribery against
$ gnor Silvestro, an official of the rail
way administration. The latter escaped
from Italy before the warrant could be
served.

Confronted with the evidence al

Over his signature he admits to the

1000. This covers twenty.six sepa-
rate warrants, ranging in amounts
from $l65, which is the lowest to
$685. the highest. all in favor of the
First Bank of Hilo.
The first of these warrants accord

issued February %, 1910, and called
for $3.50. In this manner more than
$4,000 was taken from the county
treasury during the year 1910. Each
month of the year the illegal transac-
tions took place, growing larger each
month until the average for the last
four months of 1910 was more than
$4,000 per month.
The first illegal warrant in 1911 is
dated in February and calls for $1,000.
The illegal practise is not attempted
again until in August and September
when the total drawn was 5000 Sep
TENDER, November and December also
proved good months for the illegal

The Wholesale robbery, as it was

$4,000 was secured. All these warrants
were in favor of the First Bank of
