While the suffragettes were press

police guards surrounding the vehicle,
hostile crowds attacked the women,
and struggled to duck them In the
Thames.
The demonstration today marks the
climax Of the many attempts OF the
halIot.wiId women 70 w.r tsle;ri point.
and was the most spirited of any.
That such demonstration was fear

the opinions obtained from the differ

ed the senate that several Hawaiian
representatives were opposed to the
compilation project and that their OPP
position was mostly due to the fact
that Rev. W. d. Westerveit, DR.. En-
erson and others were slated for the
position of compiling the dictionary,
and that no Hawaiians had so far
been named. ..... IL. .
The several senators questioned this

TO
FILL PLACE
OF HEWITT
Governor Announces Will Call
Special BaIloting as Result
of Senator's Death

Governor Frear announced today
that he will issue a proclamation to-
morrow calling for a special lection
in the first senatorial dis ret. Hawaii,
10 fill the vacancy caused by the death
OF Senator George c. Hewitt. Forty
Gays from the issuance of this proc
lamation must elapse before the cleo
ton can take place This will set
April 81 as the date for the selection
of a successor to the position.
The situation is an unusual one. If
the successful Hawaii candidate is in
Honolulu and ready to take ms seat
ir the present legislature when the
returns of the special election become
known, he will be able to sit for nine
Gays before the close OF the legisla-
tive session. If he is still in Hilo,
he will not be able to sit in the senats
for only three days.
Senator Hswitt's successor will be
elected only to fill the unexpired
term, which ends in 1914, before the
next regular legislature convenes, in
1915, and his service will be required
only during the few final days Of the
present legislature unless the chief
executive should call an extra ses-
sion some time within the next year.
May Wait in Honolulu.
1t is likely that the candidates con-
testing for the senatorial job at this
special election will all come to Homo
lulu before the election day, receiving
the returns here, SO that the successful
one may Immediately take the oath of
office and enter upon his duties with
out the loss of nearly weeks time.
This is the first time in the history
of the territorial legislature that a
member of either branch of the law
making body has died in the course OF
a session.
Band Loses Friend.
For the first time in many years the
Royal Hawaiian band gave its Monday
morning concert for the legislature
without having Senator George c.
Hewitt near to counsel and discuss
the musical program With Captain
Berger The late senator was known
as an excellent musician and he took
a deep interest in the fortunes of the
Hawaiian band. curing the last three
legislative sessions he assisted Cap
tain Berger in the arrangement of the
programs for the Monday morning
concerts on the palace grounds.

WILSON SHOCKS
PARTY BY HIS
ATTITUDE
Democrats Fear He Will Not
Scatter Jobs Among
the Faithful
By C. S. ALBERT
lSpecial star- -BuIletln CORRESPONDENCE


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. PA
wave of dismay and disgust has been
passing over the Democratic cohorts.
1t began with the announcement of
President-elect Wilson that he will re-
tain nearly all of the old force at the
White House. He went into the mat
ter with Mr.. Taft and obtained the re
cord of each man. All were given a
certificate of integrity and ability. He
thereupon declared that al; would. be
retained in their presen, positions.
The horde of hungry Democrats let
out roar that could be heard on
Spitzbergen island. They, pad been
waiting sixteen long and cry years
to get their feet In the trough. Hun
dreds of applications had been filed
for the pleasant situations at the
White House. They could no: under
stand how a genuine Democratic presi-
dent could reject their peas an6 re-
tain in employment a lot Oh notd-over
Republicans This did no: accord
with their ideas of the spots system.
Following closely on the heels OF
this severe shock came the intima-
lion that President Wilson would re-
tain Ambassador Wilson al the city
of Mexico because cf his familiarity
with affairs in that unfortunate re-
public. This seemed to snip off one
good position, with $17,50O a year,
and reducing the possibilities OF hav-
ing enough places to go around. This
was a more serious matter WITH staies-
men than the force of CLERKS at the
White House, although that was suffi-
ciently bad.
Talk Of Republican Convention.
The plan of holding a Republican
national convention next autumn is
being discussed up and down and
crossAise. 1t has been encorsed by
National Chairman Hilles. oy Presi-
dent Taft and Senators Root. Crane
and nearly all the regular Republican
leaders 1t is disapproyed Oy senator

the ground that he is an oyeTtlrown

P0PPERs ANSWER TO LISz1
Ceillat's Gentle Retort to the Com
pcser's Seeming Attack on the
Jewish Race.

Among the anecdotes told about the
late David Pepper Is an interesting
one relating to Liszt. It is we'll known
that many OF the plges attributed to
Liszt were really written by the Prin-
cess Sayn-Wittgenftein. The most
fragrant instance was the insertion by
her In me OF his books of some pages
attacking the Jews and advising their
deportation In body to Palestine.
Liszt was greatly annoyed at this. for
such sentiments were entirely foreign
to HIS character, and many OF his best
friends were Jews; among them David
Pepper, the famous violoncelljs.. Not
long after the appearance OF The book
referred to Pepper made a call on
Liszt, who was delighted TO see him,
and asked when he came and where
he was going. II am on the way to
Palestine. dear master, in accordance
with your wishes," was the prompt an
swer
