The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1913-09-05

Members of the old, tottering, almost
defunct Home Rule party of Hawaii are
srrayed against the president, Charles
Motley, over the nomination of l.. +.
Pinkham for Governor of Hawaii, the
former wishing to endorse the nomina-
tion, while the latter is opposed to such
action.
Mr.. Motley is now in Honolulu, and
stated yesterday that he had been re-
quested to call "A meeting of the party
for yesterday afternoon that action in
the Pinkham matter might be taken.
Mr.. Motley was clearly out of harmony
with the proposition and prevailed upon
some of the party workers here to set
the meeting over until this afternoon,
this being regular meeting day.
"The members have asked me to hold
this meeting said Motley, "but
think it is a wrong move. i can t see
just why they want to do it, but as
they have asked for the meeting they
will get it.
'The action, | believe, is asked for
under the belief that Plnkham, while
president of the board of health, did
great many favors for the inmates of
Kalaupapa, Molokai. That has been
Cne of the incentives, and when some
of those who are in touch with the
settlement started the movement, it
was taken up by others.
"There is one thing, however, the
members forget in connection with
Iinkham S board of health presidency.
This was his opposition to j. Lor
Wallach, whom the Home Rulers want
ed appointed to treat the inmates. He
was turned down by Pinkham. They
have forgotten that incident.
MIR. Motley is not in favor of the
action proposed and may do lot of
buttonholing of members to induce them
to keep their fingers out of the politi
cal not until a Governor is actually
confirmed by the senate.

Gunners at Harbor Fort Make
Good Practise-Two Generals
Are Spectators.

With Brigadier, General Funston, com
manding the Hawaiian Department, and
General Macomb, commanding the First
Hawaiian Brigade as spectators, the
three-ineh guns at Fort Armstrong en-.
gagged in target practise yesterday
morning.
The firing was done at two targets
towed by the mine planter Major Sam.
uel Ringgold and the tug Intrepid. The
range was at an average of two miles
with two guns firing at each target.
1t was stated afterwards that the
gunners made excellent practise serv-
ing the guns with great speed and
making almost every, shot count.
The targets, which appeared to be
about twelve feet square, were riddled
with shells and the practise indicated
that a torpedo boat or flock of them
for that matter, would have been blown
out of the water long before reaching
the harbor mouth.
Among others who witnessed the
practise were Lieutenants Ball and
Peyton, aids to General Funston and
General Macomb; Major Conklin, chief
of staff Col. w. G. Rafferty,, command
ing the Coast Defenses of Oahu, and
a number of officers from the different
artillery posts,
