ALLOWANCE IS
MADEF0R PLANS
" Of WHARF SHED

Superintendent Of Huhlc Works
Caldwell haS requested Governor
Frear 70 advance out OF the loan fund
$4,000 TO be used in having plans
drawn for the lilo v lrarf shed and
tho apprGaChin@ road, and Governor
Ercar mas tentatively agreed to allow
the money to he drawn. 'bu, not in the
way suggested by the superintendent
This became known yesterday after
noon at q meeting of the harbOT com.
mission when Chairman Caldwell OF.
the commission stated that he had
made such an application 10 the gov.
eFner and that he had received q let
ter from the latter stating that he
would probably advance the $4,000
but would take it temporarily from
the fund available and unexpcnded
for wharf construction at Honolulu.
AS the balance remaining of this
fund is not sufficient for any big jobs
TO be done with it, the harbor com
mission has not objected to the $4,-
600 being diverted temporarily. They
are anxious for the plans for the Hilo|
wharf shed to be made as soon as
possible ....-. Il
The last legislature allowed $780,
900, in the loan fund, for the Hilol
wharf shed, but the commissioners
state that as the governor will go out
of office soon, he does Tot wish to-
borrow this sum, believing that i'll
should be done by his successor in
office. AS it will take some time for
the plans to be drawn, the commits:
sion believes that much time will be-
saved by having this work begin at
once, and that probably by the time
the plans and specifications are com
pleted, Governor Frear'S successor
will be in office. ,r

the wonderful primitive conditions at

nor the recent arriving oriental has
taken his abode. There is to be found

WIRELESS NOW
FOR FREIGHTERS

The installation of wireless equip
ment on the larger freightcrs, oper-
ated in the Pacific and those which
the delivery of coal from the east
coast of the United States or from
Australia, is predicted with the en-
forcement of the new federal law
which went into effect the first OF the
present month.
According to the United States law,
all big freighters without distinction
as to the flags they fly, must be
equipped with wireless if they make
calls at American ports. The law is
in the nature of supplementary act
to the law requiring wireless on pas
senger boats. III
The law applying to freight carriers
provides that all vessels arriving at,
or departing from an American port,
and carrying fifty persons or more,
either crew or passengers, must be
equipped with wireless apparatus, an
auxiliary wireless set with storage
batteries, for use in case of accident,
and two wireless operators, one OF
whom must be on duty at all times.
On exclusive freight carriers one of
the operators may be a member OF
the crew, licensed for the operation of
the wireless, and able to understand
the call of the ship and receive dis
tress calls. In case any extended
wireless communication is necessary,
the operator with the crew is instruct
ed to call the expert operator. He is
merely to be on guard at the wireless
station to summon the expert opera
tor to the key when necessary.
The new law is far-reaching in i'm
portance, and local marine men ex-
pect that il will result in practically
all freighters, whether with large or
small crews, soon will be equipped
with wireless telegraph. ..

as satisfied with the situation.
"Fielder's election is certain he
said. 1T is only a question of the size
of the plurality he will receive"
Laurent Tonnele, the assistant
secretary of the committee, is in touch
with party leaders from all sections
of the State.

to reporter for The Star. ''sentf-

plurality over Stokes and Colby will
be as great as was his majority at

of talking but is not making votes
On the other hand every mail brings
US promises of support for Governor
Fielder, not only from Democrats
and independents, but Republicans
who do not approve Stokess candi-
dacy because of his past affiliations
and corporation record as a legisla-
tor and Governor. Governor Fielder's
tour OF the State as far as he has
gone has been complete success
