DEMOCRATIC PLUMS
BEING DISTRIBUTED
AROUND THE ISLANDS

President Wilson is turning his at
tention now to appointments OF the
judiciary in Hawaii.
This was made evident this morning
when local Democratic leaders receiv-
ed a cablegram from John Fl. Wilson,
Hawaii's national committeeman, ask
ing that the territorial central COM
mittee take up the matter OF indors-
ing candidates for the judgeships and
several postoffice jobs.
Three Endorsements in the circuit
judge column and a number in the
postoffice department will probably
be cabled to Washington shortly. The
committee has already indorsed "Ol-
lie" Shipman of Hawaii to succeed
Judge Parson, and Judge w. S. Ed
ings. now of Oahu, to succeed Judge
Kingsbury of the Maui circuit bench.
1t is probable that another indorse-
ment to be made is that of success
or to Judge Perry of the supreme
bench, and the previous Endorsements
will be reaffirmed.
A. F. Costa, Jr., manager of the
Maui Drygoods Store, is favored by
the committee for the Kahului post
office job. His name has been sent
again to Washington.
Endorsements for postmaster at
will be considered at once.
H. d. Corbett, of Hilo, has the
honor of being the first appointee in
Hawaii of the new president. The

Washington MAY
Double The
FAIR FUND

Looking to Washington to supple
ment the appropriation made by the
territorial legislature for exhibition
purposes at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco in 1913, thus
increasing the fund to 100000, the
amount originally asked by the Promo
tion Committee, II. p. Wood, chair
man of the Hawaiian Panama Pacific
commission, announced this morning
that changes would not be made In
the plans as originally prepared.
These plans were drawn upon the
assumption that the legislature would
appropriate between $150,000 and
100000 for Hawaiis part in the
worlds fair, and when the bill Was
finally passed, setting aside only
only 100000 for exhibition purposes,
many feared that it would be neces-
sary to completely change the plans
for the buildings to be used in san
Francisco to make them COME within
the allowance.
The announcement made by Char
-.nan Wood that assurances had been
received from Washington that the
federal government would undoubted-
ly appropriate a large sum for the.
use Of the territories at the. fair met
with happy reception this morning,
as did his second assurance that in
event the government failed TO come
TO the assistance of the territories,
civic bodies on the islands would take
the matter in hand to see that Hawaii
vas properly represented in San Fran
cisco in 1915.
If the commission was Obliged to
look only to the s100.00v for the build
ing and maintenance Of the exhibit
structures. it is said TO be certain that
only a small showing could be made.
But with 100000, the commissioners
say, they viii be able to put up one OF
the finest structures on the fair
grounds and make il the best adver-
tisfng medium Hawaii has ever had.

Former Road 0yerseer Ap'
pointed by Governor, Quail
flies and Immediately
Takes Office

John w. Caldwell was oppinted su.
perintendent Of the department OF
public works this morning by Cover
nor Frear. The appointment went In
TO effect at once; Caldwell qualified
and Immediately assumed the respon-
sibilities of the office.
Since the recent election Caldwell
has been associated with the Homo
lulu Construction & Draying Com
pany; for many months prior to that
time he served as road overseer for
the city and county of Honolulu, and
for a number of years before his ap-
pointment to the latter office he was
gn overseer in the federal engineering
service.
Caldwell takes up his new duties
at smaller salary than that paid his
predecessors in the public works Of
flee, the 1913 legislature having re-
duced the superintendent's emolument
from s4,S00 to $4,200 a year; and just
as his affiliation with the Republican
party cost him his position with the
city and county when the new local
administration came in, so he may
lose the new office when the new
Democratic governor takes hold OF
territorial affairs. His appointment
is for a term of four years, subject to
confirmation by the next legislature.
but in common with the other present
heads Of the territorial departments
he will hand in his resignation to the
new chief executive. If the expected
change by President Wilson mater
ializes, 1t is said.
Rumors were heard on. the streets
two or three days ago that -Galdwell's S
name was seriously considered by the
governor for this job, and right up to
the final few minutes of the legisla-
ture Wednesday night the nomination
OF man for the place was anticipat.
ed by the senate.
The governors action now is re-
garded as an explanation of the situ-
alton. Expecting to retire shortly
and not desiring to handicap his sue
cessor, it is figured that he did not
desire to appoint a man who might be
confirmed by the senate for a four
year term and whom the new execu-
tive might not approve yet could not
remove save for cause.
II is taken as an intimation that
Governor Frear is clearing the way
for the expected new administration,
and, that the new executive will en-
counter no obstacle in bringing to his
cabinet" those ofNhjs own choice.
There will be no shakeup in this
office-at least not for some time,
announced the new superintendent of
public works this morning" The
present assistants. heads of depart
ments and office employees through
out will be retained, at least until |
have time to become familiar with the
details of affairs. Even then, should
changes be made, ii will be only with
the idea of efficiency in mind"
The new superintendent is popular
in his profession and is declared to be
an able official.

Land CASES SET
FOR HEARING

First on the calendar of cases set
in the supreme court for the May ses-
sion, the two famous Spreckels land
cases, as announced today, will occu-
py the attention of the three justices
In the near future. The cases are
those of John D. Spreckels ct al. VS..
Brewer G. Company and John d..
Spreckels ct al VS.. Claus Spreckels.
Prosser, Anderson & Marx are attor-
neys for the plaintiffs-appellees, and
Castle & Wilmington and Holmes,
Stanley and Olson represent the de-
fendants-appellant in the first case.
In the second case the defendants-ap-
pellants are represented by Castle &
Wilmington.
A case which promises, it is said, to
become as troublesome as any ever
entered in the land court is that aris-
ing from the disposition of certain
annuities under the remarkable Gal
braith will filed in the territory about
four years ago. The case came up be-
fore Judge Whitney this afternoon.
Under the terms of the will, the es-
tate, including lands in Ireland valued
at twelve millions as well as exten-
sive holdings in Hawaii, Is held in
tact and the income disposed of in a
large number of annuities ranging iE
amount from six to a thousand dol
lars The present trouble arises over
the fact that two of the beneficiaries
have died, leaving the disposition of
annuities, awarded to them under the
terms of the will, in question.

OFFICERS TRAIL
MURDERER And
LOOT TO Lair

Under special guard at Oahu prison

separate cells, awaiting a rigid inves-
tigation now being followed by Chief
Of Detectives McDuffie, Deputy Kel.

who late last night completed the pre-
liminary work in the attempt to un-
ravel the mystery surrounding the

sponsible for the CHASTITY murder OF
Lin All Kim, a well known chinese
merchant, and his pretty wife, Lum
See.
A sum declared to total between
six and nine hundred dollars, the prop
erty of the murdered man, and bel1ev-
ed TO have been the chief incentive
tor the killing of the man as well as
his wife, is now said to have been Sc
creted at a place but few feet dis

as buried, hastened to the scene this
morning, and a determined effort is
now being made to recover the loot.

In the detention of Emilio Domingo,

BILL TO PROTECT
WATER KILLED
BY FRIENDS

That House Bill 311, bill TO. the
purpose of checking the wasga OF va
ter from artesian wells in and about
Honolulu was killed by its friends IS
the sad news which CAME from the
attorney generals office this morning.
The bill, after passing both hodse
and senate, was pocket-yetoed by the
governor; and this in spite of the fact
that everybody seemed to see the ne
cessity of legislation along the lines
laid down.
Trouble arose in this way: AS orig
inally drawn UP, the bill provided that
the government should have certain
privileges in restricting the flow OF
water from artesian wells within the
city and county of Honolulu. 1t was
also provided in the act that all pre-
vious legislation in this regard should
upon the passage of the act, be re-
pealed.
When the bill came up in the SEN
ate it passed with little difficulty. In
the house. however. it was suggested
that the bill also. include the sugar
plantations where water economy is
always observed from economic rea-
sons if from no other reason. A we'll
known representative then rose and
suggested that the bill should apply
70 the district of Honolulu, as it is
within the district that most of the
water waste occurs. There was no
objection to this scheme and the bill
was so passed.
Not until Attorney General w. w
Thayer again saw the measure did he
realize that it had been so altered as
to apply only to the district of Homo
