Martin Will Try To Fly The Atlantic
Eos sos goz
Aviator To Garry Several Passengers
BIRD MAN TO ATTEMPT
TO ANNEX THE BIG
PRIZE OF $50, 900

Capt. James V. Martin, noted aviator
and inventor of novel aeroplanes, will
sail from Honolulu tomorrow morning
on the liner Sierra TO attempt con-
tinuous flight across the Atlantic
ocean.
Lily Irvine, an English girl whom
Martin taught 10 fly, and possibly Jack
London, the famous novelist. will be
taken as passengers on the trip and
Martin also plans to take mechani-
clan.
Leaving the Inter-Island Steam Nav
igation Company's service, where he
has been employed as third officer of
the Mauna Kea, Capt. Martin will de-
vote the next year to preparing for the
record-breaking flight. Fifty thou
sand dollars has been offered for the
first man to sail across the Atlantic in
seventy-two continuous hours, and
Martin fully expects to fulfill the con-
ditions, and If anyone beats him to the
fortune hung up as prize, it will be,
thinks Martin, only because the Amer
lean aviator has not had time to get
his machine ready for the attempt.
Capt. Martins plans, as he tells
them to a representative of the Star
Bulletin, are to go to New York and
from there directly to France. He ex
poets to build his Martin type of hy-
dro-aeroplane at Pau, in the south of
France, probably at the shops of the
Breguet company, worlds leading con-
structors of military biplanes. The
machine will be entirely of Martins
own invention.
Not Daunted by Danger
Capt. Martin talks coolly and conf
IDENTIFY of achieving the feat that has
daunted the bravest of aviators thus
far, that has resulted in the death of
Melvin Vaniman, the former Honolu-
Ian, and that has been pronounced i'm

MURDERER and

Two FiIipinos Held Pending In
vestigation While Hunt for
Gold Progresses

Under special guard at Oahu prison
are two Filipinos, held in detention in
separate cells, awaiting a rigid inves-
tigation now being followed by Chief
Of Detectives McDnffie, Deputy Kel-
lett and a squad of other officers,
who late last night completed the pre-.
liminary work in the attempt to un-
rayel the mystery surrounding the
identity of the person or persons re-
sponsible for the chastity murder of
Linn All Kim, q we'll known chinese
merchant, and his pretty wife, Lum
See.
A sum declared ito total between
SIX and nine hundred dollars, the prop
erty of the murdered man, and believ-
ed to have been the chief incentive
for the killing of the man as well as
his wife, is now said to have been Sc
ereted at a place but a few feet dis
tant from the store building.
Chief McDuffie, accompanied by a
pretty accurate description of the ex-
act spot where the treasure is alleged
as buried, hastened to the scene this
morning, and a determined effort is
now being made to recover the loot
Find Damaging Evidence.
In the detention of Emilio Domingo,
the police believe that they have an
active participant in the murder. The
officers appear satisfied that the deed
was the work of Filipinos. From a
series of clews that have come into
the possession of Chief McDuffie, he
traced one Filipino to certain Hotel
street rooming and apartment house
last night, and there was informed by
one lodger who declares himself to
have been an eye Switness, that the
Filipino now held for investigation,
was discovered wa$hing blood stains
from a red bordered white sweater, in
the bath room of the premises on or
about one o'clock in the morning fol-

Local Bourbons Are Asked To Indorse
DEMOCRATIC PlUMS

President Wilson is turning his at

This was made evident this morning
when local Democratic leaders receiv-

mittee take up the matter of indors-
ing candidates for the judgeships and
several postoffice jobs.
Three Endorsements in the circuit
judge column and number in the
postoffice department will probably
be cabled to Washington shortly. The
committee has already indorsed "Ol-
lie" Shipman of Hawaii to succeed
Judge Parson, and Judge w. s. Ed

Kingsbury of the Maui circuit bench.

bench, and the previous Endorsements
will be reaffirmed

Citizens request
MACADAM FOR
BATES ST.

The first opportunity the supervis-
ors have had to take advantage of the
two acts introduced by Senator Judd
in the last session of the legislature
providing for bonds to be issued for
street improvements came today when
residents of Bates street petitioned
the supervisors to macadamize and
otherwise improve Aumoae street,
running southwest of Bates streets.
The petition is signed by Jacinthe
Santos, Jose Costa, Jose Rodriques de
Gcuvea and NJ. L. Henriques 1t was
referred to the roads committee, and
it is probable that the attention of the
petitioners will be called to the new
law which makes it possible for them
to have street improvements made
by filing a petition signed by sixty
per cent of the residents of the dis
trict to be improved, the costs of the
work to be assessed to their prop
erty.
The residents at Waipahu also Pc
tltioned for improvements. In this
case they desire electric lights run
from the railway depot TO the town
of Waipahu. The petition was filed.
The rumor current this morning
that the supervisors were to re-employ
+. ]. Dies, the discharged clerk of the
road department and that an effort
would be made to oust City Engineer
rWhitehouse from office did not prove
TO be the case, for with the COM
pletion of the routine business of the
Gay the city fathers adjourned until
next Tuesday at 7:S0 p. m.
1t was said after adjournment that
the matter might come before the
supervisors at their next meeting In
the form of petition.

Looking to Washington to supple
nent the appropriation made by the
territorial legislature for exhibition
purposes at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco in 1915, thus
increasing the fund to 100000, the
amount originally asked by the Promo
tion Committee, H. p Wood, chair
man of the Hawaiian Panama-Pacific
commission. announced this morning
that changes would not be made in
the plans as originally prepared.
These plans we're drawn upon the
assumption that the legislature would
appropriate between $150,000 and
100000 for Hawaii's part in the
worlds fair, and when the bill was
finally passed, setting aside only
only 100000 for exhibition purposes,
many feared that it would be neces-
sary to completely change the plans
for the buildings to- be used in San
Francisco to make them come within
the allowance.
The announcement made by Chair
nan Wood that. assurances had been
received from Washington that the
federal government would undoubted-
'ly appropriate a large sum for the
use of the territories at the fair met
with a happy reception this morning,
as did his second assurance that in
event the government failed to come
to the assistance of the territories,

the matter in hand to see that Hawaii

If the commission was obliged to
look only to the 100000 for the build

But with 100000, the commissioners
say, they will be able to put UP one of

CALDWELLNAMED
TO HEAD PUBLIC
WORKS BOARD
Former Road 0verseer Ap-
pointed by Governor, Quail
ifies and Immediately
Takes Office

John w. Caldwell was oppinted su-
perintendent of the department OF
public works this morning by Cover
nor Frear. The appointment went in
to effect at once; Caldwell qualified
and Immediately assumed the respon.
sibilities of the office.
Since the recent election Caldwell
has been associated with the Homo
lulu Construction & Draying Com
pany; for many months prior to that
time he served as road overseer for
the city and county of Honolulu, and
for number of years before his ap-
rointment to the latter office he was
an oyerseerl in the federal engineering
service.
Caldwell takes up his new duties
at smaller salary than that paid his
predecessors I'm the public works Of
flee, the 1919 legislature having re-
,iuced the superintendent emolument
from $4,000 to $4,000 year.. and just
as his affiliation with the Republican
party cost him his position with the
city and county when the new local
administration came In, so he may
lose the new office when the new
Democratic governor takes hold OF
territorial affairs His appointment
Is for term OF four years, subject to
confirmation by the next legislature,
but in common with the other present
heads of the territorial departments
he will hand in his resignation to the
new chief executive, If the expected
change by President Wilson mater
ializes, IL is said.
Rumors were heard on the streets
two or three days ago that Caldwell's
name was seriously considered by the
governor for this job. and right up to.
the final few minutes of the legisla-
ture Wednesday night the nomination
Of a,man for the place was anticipat-
ed by the senate.

Governor Frear is clearing the way
for the expected new administration.
and that the new executive will en-
counter no obstacle in bringing to his

There will be no shakeup in this
offiee-at least not for some time,

details of affairs. Even then. should

the idea of efficiency in mind ~
The new superintendent is popular
in his profession and is declared to be
an able official.

"The real investigation is to be
made by the hold-oyer committee: The
Investigation of the joint committee
on education of the two. houses, whose
report was handed In recently, was
for nothing more than to give i'm.
petus to. the hoidover committees
work"
Thus spoke Senator Penhallow,
chairman of the education committee
of the senate, and chairman of the
special holdolover committee appoint
ed to investigate school conditions in.
the territory and report to the next
session of the legislature.
"We did not intend this report to
do any more than pave the way for
b5etween-sessions investigation. 1t Is
rot complete report, OF complete
investigation. Two years from now
we will have data sufficient to appear
before the Legislature and have our
recommendations carried cut.
'It is a mistake to think we intend
ed the present report to be the last
word on the subject Even before the
Joint committee investigation was or
dered, Representative Clarence Cooke
and agreed that hold-oyer commit
tee should be named at the conclusion
Of this session to study school matters
in the territory and make needed re-
Communications.
"It will require such study before
a proper understanding of the school
situation can be had. Just now, on
the information before me, | would
not vote for the consolidation OF the
Normal School with the College OF
Hawaii i feel the same way in re-
spect to other matters before the
committee. The text book problem
is an instance. Whether the territory
should publish its own books, or buy
them from the publisher. or let the
pupils buy them direct from dealers
are questions which can't be decided
on snap judgment. 1t takes long and
serious thought"
Senator Penhallow continued that
the committee would lose no time in
beginning its work.
Only One Commissioner.
The end of the 1913 legislature
leaves the department of public in
struction with only one commissioner,
Mrs. May T. Wilcox. The failure CT
the senate to confirm the nominations
or appointments made by Govern1r
Frear removes W. r. Harrington from
the board, while the terms of Mrs.
B. d. Bond and W. H. Smith. Of Ha-
vail; of w. o. Aiken, Of Maui, and
w. H. Rice, of Kauai, expired last
week
Thus five of the six commissioners
are out of office. It is understood Sen
ator Penhallow has recommended to
the governor that an entirely new COM
mission be appointed. The chief ex-
ecutive said today he had not given il
any thought and will not until he re-

Three of the commissioners have
been serving unexpired terms. Mrs.

and Harrington was appointed to sue

The terms Of Rice, Aiken, Smith AMI
Mrs. Bond expired last week The
term for which Judge Stanley was ap-
pointed, which was being filed by rar

H|LLTOPPERS START
THEIR WORK AGAIN
Practice Called For Georgetown
Team in Preparation For
Thanksgiving Day Game.

Things are picking up on the Hilltop
today for the first workout for the
football team since Saturdays defeat of
Virginia in the annual contest. AS the
next game is TO be played with Holy
Cross on Thanksgiving Day Georgetown
feels that there is plenty of time to
get into shape for the championship of
the Catholic colleges.
A defeat of Fordham has given the
Worcester eleven clear lead for the
title of the Catholic colleges and George
town has an excellent chance to win
the honor by defeating the Holy Cross
team.
Holy Cross will come down with a
record against Yale Harvard and
Princeton. Yale was held to a 10 to 0
score, Harvard was given its hardest
early season game by the Worcester
team, while Princeton got away with a
big scare.
At the Hilltop every preparation and
possible care will be given the players
as it is hoped that a win will be re-
corded. After the win over Virginia
Georgetown is more than anxious TO
take Holy Cross into camp.
with the exception of Tad Donnelly
all of the players are in fairly good
shape. Few injuries were recorded aft
er the Virginia game and the players
after being given a three-day layoff are
reporting today with the idea of getting
into the stride for the big Thanksgiving
Day game.
