OF DEMOCRATS

President Apparently Is in No

TO BE RECK0NED WITH
Belief General That Wilson Is
Holding Appointments to
Force Tariff Bill
BY C. S. ALBERT.
Especial star bulletin Corrsspondencel


WASHINGTON. ID. c., April "a
Democratic politicians are becoming
much incensed because President VIII
son does not hand out the pie and
prevent them from being besieged day
and night by their constituents. The
onslaught OF office-seekers has become
trifle unnerving. In addition, there
are daily demands for temporary loans
to chase the wolf away until the sal
airy from the government comes along
This is a drain on the pocketbook and
does not appear to bring the longed,
for job any nearer.
Up to this time the president has
made but fe wappointments. He has
been in office two months and the lis
OF nominations, aside from those in
the army and navy. has not even ap.
proximated the hundred mark. AT
present about 5000 places are ready
for filling and this number is increas
ing at the rate of nearly 100 day
This fact does not worry the pres
dent and there are no indications that
he will soon cut loose and turn in Q
big batch of nominations
Meantime, there are from five to
fifty hungry Democrats in town for
each position open and ready to nail
down the job If opportunity is pre-
sented. A large proportion of these
are already occupying the status OF
flood sufferers. They are approach
ing the stage of bankruptcy. The
blame for non-action is distributed
equally between the president, his
cabinet ministers and members of
congress.
A large number of public men have
now reached the firm conclusion that
President Wilson is holding up all
federal patronage and will use it as a
club in driving his tariff revision bill
through the senate. This has created
great apprehension, as the policy cor
responds to that followed by Col.
Roosevelt, when in the saddle, and
which was quite unpopular all around.
1t is almost regarded as certain that
President Wilson will keep the choic-
est plums in his own hands and give
them out if it becomes necessary to
use the big stick in securing votes for
free sugar or free wool.
This feeling of apprehension has
caused many good Democrats to be-
come disgruntled. They had expected
a change from former methods of put
ting over a tariff measure, but are
now willing to confess that the net re-
suit promises to be the same.

GOVERNORSHIP

By C. S. ALBERT
Especial star-Bulletln correspondence

WASHINGTON, D., c., April "a
The appearance here of a possible
dark horse in the gubernatorial race,
and the manifestation of considerable
activity on his part, has been the only
development in the political situation.
Despite the continued presence of Nc
CandleSs and Waller, no selection for
any federal office in Hawaii has been
announced
The dark horse is Harry Irwin, rep
resenting the Hilo board of trade in
the pending revision of the sugar
schedule. He does not openly admit
that he had any aspirations beyond
seeking to prevent the placing of sugar
on the free list, but it became noised
abroad that he would not decline the
goYernorship. Further, it was limited
that he might prove quite acceptable
in the event that the forces OF Waller
and McCandless could not arrange
some sort of compromise.
Irwin is we'll known to the politi-
clans here. and especially the Wilson
faction He was delegate to the
Baltimore convention and a member of
the committee that prepared the plat
form adopted. ...:. ~
The belated arrival of Edward NJ
Watson, who has been strongly en-

sippi and some from other sections,

new VOLUNTEER
CORPS APPROVED
BY Department

The military strength Of Oahu is TO
be increased by the addition Of vol
unteer motorcycle corps. Probably
these "Mercuries'' by the grace Of
gasoline will be attached to the signal
corps of the national guard. but the
plan is so well thought of by regular
army higher-ups that it Is being faith
cred by the department commander,
who will probably secure the neces-
sary authorization for its organization
from the war department.
Credit for the inception of the mo-
torcycle corps belongs to F. NJ. Erie
SELL of the department of public
works, who is himself one Of the
keenest motorcycle enthusiasts In the
territory. Friesell, after taking the
matter up with Col Campbell, depart
ment adjutant went among his friends
and fellow cyclists, and had no trou-
bic in securing twenty picked men,
who were anxious to enter the new
service.
The principal difficulty in the way
of giving the. motorcycle corps a mill
tary standing is that the regulations
do not permit the formation of a new
company of the national guard with
less than fifty-six men. This difficult
ty, it is believed, will be overcome by
attaching the motorcyclists to some
existing organization. 1t Is the inten-
ton to drill the members of the CORPS
in signal work, go that they will be
able to establish chains of signal sta
tions in fast time.
"A corps of this sort would be OF
great value to the regular army when
the troops are called into the field for
maneuvers, or in the event of the ar
my being called out for a more Sc
rious purpose. said Col. Campbell
this morning. Motorcycles can now
carry two men anywhere, and if the
riders were we'll ertained signalmen,
with flag and beliograph, they could
be used to great advantage AS a vol
unteer organization the motorcycle
corps should be attached to the ma
tional guard. to have the proper mill
tary standing, and probably the mat
ter will be helped along in every pos
sible way by this office

lengthy eulogy of the good work
Kennedy has done for the church and

conclusion of this, Mrs. Holmes arose
10 state that the cause of Kennedy's
resignation was his receiving an un-
signed letter which stated that he was
doing more harm for the church than
good and recounting other things
which Mrs. Holmes did not review
After this, a resolution was intro
duced asking Kennedy to reconsider
lis resignation and setting forth that
it was the voice of the church mem
bers that they not accept the resigna-
ton. This resolution passed with an
almost unanimous vote.
Immediately after Scott arose and
said that if there were members in
the church who would stoop to such
low levels as to write anonymous let
ters, he wanted to sever his connec-
ton with the institution. And he de-
manded that his resignation be ac-
Cepted. Scott was evidently angry

WEDDING BELLS IN
Wake OF OCEAN
VOYAGE

When the Oceanic liner Ventura
arrived in San Francisco from Aus
tralia on April %. there were at least
two persons on board who had fig
ured in a romance which was born
on the high seas and which culmin-
ated in marriage. H. f. Williams,
the wireless operator of the vessel,
and Miss Pearl Dobson, who was a
member OF the Atkinson Wild West
show which was stranded in the An
tipodes, the one watching over his
key, and the other a passenger in
the cabin, held the center OF the
stage on which was settled another
transpacific romance.
On the last voyage of the Ventura
to the Colonies, Miss Dobson was a
passenger along with the other mem
bers of the Wild West Company of
which she was a member. While en-
route, Williams, patiently tapping his
key, established new record for
senuing a radio message z7U0 miles
across the equator. The feat caused
considerable talk on board the ship,
and the interest which Miss Dobson
took in the wireless equipment was
the cause of love matcn springing
up. During the rest of the trip the
two were constantly together. At
Sydney, Miss Dobson continued on a
tour with the company while Will
liams returned home with the prom
ise that she would be his wife as
soon as the engagement was over
The standing in Australia of the
Wild West show fastened the rom
anee to a climax and upon the re-
turn OF the Ventura to Australia the
couple were married at Sydney.

RAY OF HOPE is

QUESTION
Louisiana Delegation Would
Put Date of Laws Effect
Over Six Months
BY C. S. ALBERT
Especial s,ar-Bulletln correspondencel

WASHINGTON, d. c., April "a
A new proposition has been brought
forward to somewhat lessen the ter
rors of free sugar. 1t was advanced
by the Louisiana delegation in con-
gress and will be urged by all those
opposed to removing all protection
from sugar three years hence.
The plan is to have free sugar be-
come effective on February /, 1917, in
stead of three years after the approval
OF the pending measure, which would
be approximately August 20, 1916. The
argument is made that the crop In
Louisiana cannot be marketed before
February l. All contracts and loans
are arranged with that date in view
1t is held that otherwise great diff
Guilty would be experienced in dispos-
ing of the crop according to the usual
prevailing custom.
Senators Thornton and Ransdell, ac-
companied by other members of the
Louisiana delegation, conferred with
Chairman Underwood o, the ways and
means committee and Senator Sim
mons of the finance committee, com
plete details and reasons for the sug-
gested change being given. The dele
CATION also will call on President Viii
son and seek his assistance in having
the time extended the indicated five
months.
