MOTT T-SM!TH MAY
BE INELIGIBLE
FOR COMMISSION
Indirect Interest in Large Pub
lie Utility Raises Techni-
cal Question

Territorial Secretary E. A. Mott
Smith doesn't know whether he is
qualified under the; law to hold the
position of chairman of the public
utilities commission. or even to be a
of that body, and has asked
Attorney General Tnayer Tor tormai
opinion on the subject.
isIIis present job as secretary of the
territory does not disqualify him, but
when the last legislature enacted the
statute creating the new organization
il inserted a clause specifying that no
one should become member who
held stock in any public utility corpor-
alton which might come within the
Jurisdiction of the commission.
Mott-Smiths position is a peculiar
one. He is a director and holds a
minority amount of stock in the John
Mott-Smith Estate This estate, in
turn, holds quantity of stocA in the
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Com
pany, and .the latter concern in turn
holds the controlling interest in the
Kahului Railroad Company. The Ka-
uu1ut SOiipohy 10 OiC VI ttS
corporations over which the utilities
commission will have power.
Thus Mott-Smith may be said to
have an indirect interest in that con-
Germ; whether that interest will be
sufficient to debar him from member
ship on the commission remains for
the attorney general to determine.
1t is a technical question that
should be cleared away before the
commission comes into existence and
! assume the new Office" said the Sec
retary today. The query would have
arisen later anyhow. and it might as
well be settled before it becomes a
source of trouble.
My interest In the John Mott-Smith
Estate is the only one that can be said
to be an interest in any public utility
if that can be SO construed. l once
owned considerable stock in the Oahu
Land & Railway Company, but dis
posed of that long time ago.

BRECKONS SAYS
INVESTIGATION
Will GO DEEP
Completion of Mcguire Probe

Waii House. Cleaning

Special Prosecutor r. w. Breckons,
retained by the Hawaii probe COM
mission, returning from Hilo after
hearing sentence pronounced upon
Charles X. Mcguire, confessed divert
or of county funds, announced today
that the commission has not complet-
ed its work, but will now direct its
attention to scrupulous investiga-
ton of the manner in which county
road money has been disposed Of in
Hawaii.
With the completion of the Mcguire
proceedings the commission has only
completed the first chapter of it's
work, for sensational disclosures, and
the calling of a special grand jury
may follow rapidly the conviction OF
the former Hawaii official, says Mr..
Breckons.
The commission will meet again the
first part of July to begin its investi-
cation into road matters. Upon what
angle this will be started, and the
persons who will probably be involv-
ed in it, cannot be learned from the
special prosecutor. who remains reti-
sent on many matters of the probe.
He stated that he may be called be-
fore the grand jury, and that in event
it brings in indictments against per-
sens accused of misappropriating
county road money, he will act for
the territory. in the trial

HARBOR ENLARGEMENT
PLANS BELIEVED TO
HAVE BEEN ENDORSED

The report OF Major w. p. Wooten,
head Of the army engineers here on
the advisability of making an extend.
ed survey of the proposed ship canal
between Honolulu and Kalihi harbors.
las been forwarded to the chief en-
gineers in Washington. Although Ma
jor Wooten can not give out the tenor
of the report until it has been con-
sidered by General Bixby, 1t is pos
sible by his negative action to deduce
that Ii recommends the proposed sur
yey. RI the report had been unfavor-
able, Major Wooten, according to
army custom, would have notified
tbe various commercial bodies that
submitted facts and figures in sup
port of the plan, that his recommends
lions were against the survey, so that
they could have been given this oppor-
iunity TO further advance their claim
higher up the line. No such notifica-
tion has been given so the natural
supposition is that Major Wooten fa-
1ors at least complete survey and
soundings for the proposed harbor inn
provement.
The investigation being made by
Major Wooten was not as to the ad-
visibility of cutting the channel and
joining the harbors, but as to the i'm.
pcrtance of making full survey.
Funds will have to be appropriated for
this work, and much more extensive
soundings made and figures collected
than are now available.
At any rate, the prospects are that
il the report is approved, the second
step toward harbor enlargement will
be under way before many months.

REPUBLICANS PREPARING
FOR CAMPAIGN OF 1914.
LEADERS TO
FATHOM THE
PRIMARY LAW
Belief General That the Neces-
Sity of Machine Is Greater
Than Before

First skirmIshings for the political
campaign OF 1914 will be begun to-
night with a meeting OF the Republi-
can county committee in headquarters
on the third floor of the Bank of Ha-
whii building.
Chairman Bertram Won Damn and
Secretary John H. Wise said this
morning that they expect good at
tendance, for though the campaign is
more than a year away, there are
healthy signs of reawakening in Re-
publican ranks. This is the first
meeting since the disaster" of last
fall. when Democracy sprung the big
gest surprise In the history Of local
politics by electing most of its candi-
dates for county offices and giving
l.. l.. McCandless, who was running
against Kuhio for delegate, ouch a
big vote on Oahu that Kuhio has been
peeved about il ever since.
The particular piece of business for
tonight's meeting of the G. o. p.
leaders is a discussion of the direct
primary law enacted by the last legis-
laiure. The party has been talking
direct primary for many years and
finally the Republican majority put
the law through in rafting style.
However, most of the Republicans
frankly confess they don't know what
the law means and there will be sew
eral evenings devoted to talking over
its FEATURES.
Both Chairman Won Damn and
John Wise have made considerable
study of the new act and unite in be-
lieving that II means more party or
g9nization than ever They incline
to the opinion that longer cam
paign period is necessary and that
the party organization will have to
: be well perfected by the end of next
summer in order to have 1T working
perfectly through the fall. Chairman
Won Damn plans to secure the CO.
operation OF local direct-primary
students in putting before the com
mittee meetings various phases OF the
act.
Republican leaders have recovered
from their natural discontinue OF
last fail, when the votes all went the
wrong way. Shortly after the Demo
cratic victory, there were wholesale
desertions from the ranks Of the
voters, many Of whom made haste to
get on Democratic roll-books in order
to be In line when the distribution of
patronage began. Now many Of these
are said to be anxious to become
good Republicans again. figuring that
Democracy has already began to fade
and that next fall the big Republican
majority on the Island Of Oahu will
come into its own again.

MID PACIFIC CLOSES
SCHOOL YEAR WITH
AWARD OF DlPL 0MAS

In the presence of more than 100
persons, the closing exercises Of the
Mid-Pacific Institute, which consti-
tutes Kawaiahao Seminary and Mills
school, were held in the assembly hall
of the Mills school yesterday after
noon. Diplomas were awarded fifteen
graduates representing FIVE different
nations, and the large crowd which
attended was perhaps the most cos
mopolitan of its kind ever seen in
Honolulu.
The program opened with process
sionaI by the Mills School orchestra,
being followed with an invocation by
RevR. Elmer Smith. The Kawaiahao
Glee Club then sang, In the Harbor
We've Been Sheltered" after which
number of interesting essays were
read by the members of the graduat-
ing class, the readings being inter
spersed with musical numbers. The
presentation of both the high school
and grammar grade certificates were
made by DR.. Doremus Scudder, the
program closing with benediction by
Rev. r. Elmer Smith and selection
by the Mills School orchestra.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June S.-The
condition of panic in which many
Democratic senator's from western
States now find themselves has never
been equalled. They are suffering not
only from acute apprehension but az
gravated irritation and indignation.
They believe the Underwood tarin Dnl
will prove disastrous to their con-
stituents, destroying the wool and SUI
ear industries. They realize that II
they vote for those features 1t means
their retirement to private life. This
is offset by the dread Of ostracism and
isolation that would follow their re-
fusal to support President Wilson.
How long this panic can be re-
strained and kept in check is the
question being asked at this time by
all thinking persons here. 1t is pos
sible Mr.. Wilson, with the patronage
lash, and the assistance of such sena-
tors as are not thus brought face to
face with the anger of their eonstft-
uents and loss of prestige. 1t is a
choice between love and duty. Public
men have never before been placed in
&. more desperate and precarious posi-
ton.
II would surprise no close observer
if this incipient panic became rampant
at any time. No establishment would
be expressed if a number of these
Western senators took the bit in their
teeth, defied the president and deter
mined to stand by the welfare of their
people at home This would mean the
rejection of free sugar and free wool.
They would become party renegades
but would save their place in official
life and be in position to retrieve
their fortunes with another admins
tration not so radical In matters OF
downward tariff revision.
Boiling mad is the expression used
in describing the feelings of Senators
Newlands, Smith of Arizona, Shafroth,s
Thompson, Chamberlain, Hitchcock,
Lane and some others, who appreciate
the fact that not only are they being
eliminated from public life but the
Democratic party is booming itself to
another long period of far-distant re-
moval from governmental control.
Optimistic people predict that be-

CONSUL EITAKE
SAYS VAR Is
IMPOSSIBLE
Makes Statement in Answer to
Questions Asked by
Japanese

Having been asked by many Japan
ese of the islands to answer the ques-
ton of whether or not there is like
lihood of war between the United
States and Japan growing out of the
alien-land law passed by the legisla-
ture of California, Consul Eitake, for
Hawaii, issued statement yesterday
in which he reviews the relations Of
the two rations and declares there is
mo possibility of war.
The following is a translation of the
statement as given by the consul:
Many questions having been asked
by my countrymen relating to the SEN
timent which arose with the passage
of the alien-land law of California,
wish to state for the knowledge Of the
japanese in this territory that there
is no possibility of war between Japan
and the United States. The long
friendly relations which have existed
between the two nations will not be
ended. Though California has passed
q law disfayored by us, we must re-
member that it is only one state, and
is not the act of the government or
the United States. You may rest as
sured that there will be no war. Con-
tinue your work here with the same
industry and energy you have always
shown, and do not allow yourself to
become in anywise agitated because
of the present trouble, which is des-
tined to blow over soon"
This statement will be published in
the various Japanese papers in Homo
lulu and the territory. 1t is the first
official word of the kind relative to
the United States-Japanese situation
the consul has issued.
