British Guiana Greenheart Used In
 Panama Canal Locks.

The secretary of the institute O! mines and forests of British Guiana In book of information which is issued as an official dQcEment writes as fol foWs:
 There are three varieties of gre6l4' heart-yellow. black and maintop- all most serviceable and durable woods if gut at maturity. oreenheart Is one of che tallest forest trees of British Gui- ana. and logs can be had from eighteen to tveuty-four inches square and sev- enty feet lGhg II grows in clay soil near the rivers and creeks Owing to the great demand for this timber and the absence uf legal restriction to pre- rent The cutting of the young trees it is becoming extremely difficult to pro duce good greeuheart. ani it's preServa- ton is worthy of the attention of the legislature.
 Greenheart is already familiar to the trade. beng highly esteemed for all classes of submerged work-iiles, dock gates. etc It k one of the eight first class woods 0f I.loyd's. and admirable keeSonS. knee and other tiinbers can be had of il. Sawed into scantling it is used for planking vessels For wharfs. house framing. mill timbers and many other purposes greenheart is unsurpassed by any other wood in the colony.
 The Panama consulting engineers aft er a comparison of the worlds woods have adopted British Guiana green heart for the Panama canal locks, re- gardin. it as superior to Australian ironback wood in its resistance to tue teredo
 Though the excellence of greenheart has never been so prominently brought before the notice of the world. its duia- biity and suitability for lock gates are widely known Most of the lock gates constructed in the Mersey during the last twenty years have been made with it. as have those at the Manchester ship canal. and when the necessity oc- cured for enlarging some of the canal lock gates fully thirty years after they were placed in position it was fou ld that the wood waS in such an excellent state Of preservation that it could be used over again.

Ship With Three Skins.

The launching of the Iron Duke at Portsmouth. England. recently. marks 2 new era in British naval construction Tine vessel k the twentyeighTh British Dreadnoueht to take the water. Her displacement is 2G.450 tons. and her main battery consists of ten i3.5 inch guns firing shells of l,4o0 pounds. or l5O pounds more than the proiectilea fired by former weapons of this caliber
 The chief feature. however of the new Dreaduought is the improvement that she demonstrates ill her prote'- ton against submarine attack. Over the whole length of the "vitals'' tfrom the first tnrret to the last the bull of the ship consists of three separate skins. so that even If the two outer ones should be pierced by rocks or tor redces the stability of the vessel would not be impaired.

CASE
in THE HANDS
Of committee
President Wilson Leaves Mat
ter Entirely Up to Those
Who Confirm
By C. S. AZ BERT.

IS,.ecIaI Star-BulIetin Correspondence1
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL. -
The presidents refusal to Withdraw
the nomination of l. e. Pinkhnm to
be governor of Hawaii left the senate
committee on Pacific Islands and Por-
to Rico to thresh the matter out. 1t
was announced by the president that
he did not care particularly about the
reply made by Mr. Pinkham to the
charges preferred against him. He
thought 1t better for the committee to
consider 1t In connection with all 9TH
|er features of the case and reach its
own decision without any reference to
his opinion.
In view of this situation Senator
Shafroth determined to begin work
quietly. He waited a few days before
calling meeting of the committee.
This was due to the fact that Senator
Vardaman and other members were
extremely bitter on the subject, and
he thought delay would afford them
an opportunity to cool off and be less
radical in their views 1t was real
lied by Chairman Shafroth that a long
and stubborn fight will be made
against the confirmation of Mr.. Pink
ham. unless Mr. Vardaman and his as
sociates can be Modified or given
time to change their minds. He did
not desire to induce additional antag-
onism by hurrying the matter.
1t became evident after the meeting
was called that quorum could not be
obtained to take up the Pinkham case.
A large number of senator's left town
Immediately after the tariff bill was
passed and sent to conference. A few
remained to see what would be done
about currency legislation. These
joined the exodus when It became cer-
tain that all topics of legislation would
be permitted to soak for week Or
ten days.
In the meantime. Mr. Pinkham set
tied down to wait patiently for results.
He did not resume his residences at
the home Of Representative Kent after
returning from Worcester, but took
apartments at the Congress Hall Ho-
tel. He win appear personally before
the committee on Pacific Islands and
Porto Rico, if desired.

MONUMENT To
MARK GRAVE
OF HAMMER
Honolulu Ad Club Presents FL
nal Mark of DisreSpeCt to
Buried Enemy

To mark the grave where the ham
ner lies buried IN the graveyard of
frictions and Misunderstanding in
Hilo, buried on the occasion Of the
Ad Club excursion to that town a few
weeks ago, solemn ceremony was
performed In the banquet room on
the sixth floor of the Alexander
Young hotel at / o'clock this after
noon when the delegates to the In
ter-lsland Civic Convention were
guests of the Ad Club at delightful
luncheon.
In speeches from w. r. Harrington,
president of the club, and George Cur
tis, chairman Of the committee on the
recent excursion to Hilo, the monu-
ment was delivered into the care and
custody Of the Hilo Board of Trade
who were heard to complain that
although the hammer was buried,
nothing remained to mark its grave.
and that they were in a sense like a
widow who mourns with feeling of
uncertainty by an unmarked mound.
Clarence Waterman was the Hilo
delegate who openly voiced his dissat-
isfaction over the present condition Of
the buried hammer. He interrupted
President Harrington. when the latter,
addressing the delegates, stated that
the hammer had been buried in Hilo,
buried well and completely. and moth
ing remained to add to the ceremony;
that the hammer was buried for keeps.
After Mr.. Waterman objected to this
statement, saying that the job was
not complete as had been represented
by Mr.. Harrington, as no tombstone
stood to mark the spot of its last
resting place, George Curtis arose and
made a presentation speech, in which
he cleverly gave the monument to
the Hilo Board Of Trade, pulling aside
the curtain which had covered the
DR.. H. B. Elliot, president of the
Hilo Board of Trade, accepted the
gift.
With the consent of Mr.. Earring
ton." he said. 81 will Immediately call
a meeting of the board of trade. In
the first place wish to tell them to
join the Ad Club as soon as they pos
sibly can, and in the second place, /
