THANKSGIVING
 PROCLAMATION President Wilson and Secre- tary Bryan Issue First Off,
 ficial Document
P E GEE, PROSPERITY
Re ference Mad To Panama Canal and Is Looked on Beginning of a
 Kew Age.

Washin gton. Oct. 25. President Wilson today designated Thursday, November 27, as Thanksgiving Day, and issued the following. his first Thanksgiving proclamation:
 The season is at hand in which it has been our long respected custom as people to turn in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His manifold mercies and blessings to us as nation.
 The year that has just passed has been marked in a peculiar degree by manifestations of His gracious and heneficient providence. We have not only had peace throughout our own borders and with nations of the world but that peace has frightened by constantly multiplying evidences of genuine friendship, of mutual sympathy and of the happy opera tions of many elevating influences, both of ideal and of practice.
 The nation has been prosperous not only, but has proved it's capacity to take calm counsel amidst the rapid movements of affairs and deal with it's own life in spirit of can- dor, righteousness and comfort.
 We have seen the practical com pletion of a great work at the lsth- mus of Panama, which not only ex- emplified the nations abundant re- sources to accomplish what it will and the distinguished skill and capa- city of it's public servants, but also promises the beginning of a new age, of new contacts, new neighbor- hoods, new sympathies, new bonds and new achievements of co-opera- tion and peace.

"Will a merchant who is wise Ever cease to advertise? Nes-when the trees grow upside down When the beggar wears a crown; When ice forms on the sun; When the sparrow weighs ton; When gold dollars get too cheap; When women secrets keep, When firh forgets to swim, When Satan sings a hymn, When girls go back on gum, When the small boy hates a drum, When no politician schemes, When mince pie makes pleasant dream When it's fun to break a tooth,
 When all lawyers tell the truth; When the drummer has no brass When all these comes to pass,
 Then the man that's wise
 Will neglect to advertise. Anon.

JURY DUTY OR FIGHTING
Judge Clemons Takes Case Ar
gued by Mr.. Breck0nS Un-
der Weeks Amusement

Refusing to say that he would bear
arms on Saturday, if called upon to do
SO as a citizen of the United States, or
that he would convene with a jury
meeting on Saturday, Joaquin Comes
da Silva, Seventh Day Adventist
who applied today for naturalization
papers, has raised one of the knottiest
questions in the history of the United
States district court. Can Silva be al
lowed citizenship upon a qualified
oath of allegiance? Can the court
rightfully refuse him citizenship, thus
discriminating against him on relig-
ious grounds? These are the per-
picking questions that Judge Clemons
was unable to decide today.
Silva filed his citizenship papers
several months ago and appeared
this morning In full expectation of be-
coming full-fledged citizen of the
land of the starry banner Upon be-
ing told that citizenship papers were
granted as rule on Saturday, he re-
quested that an exception be made in
his case, and that he be allowed to
take out his papers today. This re-
quest was not thought unusual and
was granted. 1t was not until the
proceedings were well under way that
District Attorney Breckons discovered
that Silva was Seventh Day Adyen-
tist and holds Saturday, according to
the lights of his religion, to be the
Sabbath.

you were called upon to serve on a.
Jury meeting on SATURDAY., wauM yous

Silva hesitated and then acknowl-l
edged that he would be unable to
serve on Saturday, inasmuch as he is
commanded by his religion to keep
that day holy.

country on Saturday in case OF war?"

HAWAII ADVERTISED AS A

Super to secure the coveted jobs.
This mornings mail brought exact
ly seventeen letters, all from men and
boys in the city of New York. Some

received this morning were hand writ

MAHUKA FUND TO
PROVIDE B | &
BUILDING

That the federal government is ap-
propriating just as much money for
the federal building here on the en-
larged site as on the originally-pro-
posed site, and that this building will
designed is the declaration today of
the federal authorities.
District Attorney Breckons said
this morning that little simple arith-
metic shows that there has been no re-
duction in the amount of money for
the building itself, even though the
additions to the site through condem-
nation have made necessary an in
crease from million to million and
half as the aggregate limit cost for
both site and building. This increase
is provided for in the House bill in
troduced on January 6, 1913, by Dele
gate Kalanianaole. -
Moreover, as the senate yesterday
passed the public buildings bill, with
$450,000 for the federal building here.
no uneasiness is expressed that the
building appropriation will be later
cut down. TIE federal authorities had
hardly expected the appropriations TO
be perfected at this session of Con-
gress. As told in cablegram from
the delegate yesterday, the appropri-
alton carries eight thousand dollars
more than enough for both the origi-
nal and additional grounds included in
the site. ..... r. -.
1t became known today that the to-
tai amount to be paid by the govern
ment in the Mahuka condemnation
case is S465.336.7f or almost half a
million dollars To this sum will be
added probably interest from the time
that the suit was commenced two
years ago. The buildings for which
the government is paving include the
Castle & Cooke property on Fort
street, the premises of the Hawaiian
Trust Company. of the Office Supply
Co, and of E. o. Hall & Son.

HERE To- SIZE UP
DAMAGE TO THE BIGDRYDOCK

this afternoon. Mr.. Hindes viii then
have an opportunity to hear the de-
tails of the navy engineers new
scheme for anchoring the drydock by
making huge longitudinal blocks of
concrete on land and then setting
them on end along the bottom of the
basin, pouring concrete through
tremies between the blocks SO as to
make solid concrete bottom 90 feet
thick. This method, which has been
worked out-ty Civil Engineer Gayler,
is brand new in drydock construction
and was made known to the public
for the first time yesterday through
the columns of The Star-Bulletin.
The side walls of the dock will be
formed in the same manner, by set
ting under water blocks cast on shore
and filling the joints by pouring under
water concrete through the tremie
pipes. The side walls will be 21 feet
thick at the base, and will taper to
five feet at the top. 1t is figured that
this style of construction will add
two-fifths to the weight Of the dock
had it been constructed under the old
method, which will he ample to keep
the bottom from rising.
Details of this plan will be forward
ed to the bureau of yards and docks
by the mail leaving this evening. and
it is believed that Admiral Stanford.
who is familiar with conditions here,
will approve of the judgment of the
navy engineers on the ground.

Life for the first time was breathed
Into the senate proceedings this morn.
ing when two bills, both Introduced
by Senator Coke, came up for second
leading before the honorable body.
The first measure to provoke di. pute
was the measure dealing with the in
terest charges on delinquent taxes.
The second was the hill repealing the
law levying stamp duties.
The senate ways and means com.
mittee had doctored the first, MAX
ing the interest charge for delinauen,
taxes per cent per month, instead
of 5 per cent Der annum. and elimin-
citing certain other features, Senator
Coke announced that he had, az the
iatroducer of the bill, accepted he
changes made by the committee. SEN
ator Wirtz wanted to know why the
pe nalty on delinquent taxes should be
twice as much as the government pays
in interest on borrowed money, but
got small satisfaction, for the bill
passed second reading with all hands
up save his own.

that he personally favored the intro

he does not see how both such reve-

First Small oratory
Speaking for the bill Senator Coke
made the first lengthy address of the
senate session of 1913. He declared
that the law works hardship upon
the man who wishes to huy a small

government, and that the law is ante
quated and not in use in any other
