MANY CLASS
A men IN
I'd INFANTRY

The classification of the enlisted
men of the End Infantry according to
the plan of General Funston, is about
completed, and it is found that the
regiment has a high percentage Of
Class A men; who will be entitled to
the special privileges going with this
rating Nearly so per cent of the en-
tire enlisted strength is Class A.
Yesterday Colonel French called the
company commanders together. for a
final report on classification, and gave
them his Interpretation of the order
recently issued In regard to Class B
men, Colonel French believes that the
intent of the order is to keep these
men out of Honolulu, rather than to
keep them strictly within the limits
of the post, and Glass B men of the
Second Foot will therefore have the
run of Moanalua and adjacent points
This is good news to the B men, who
feared that they would have to stay
strictly inside the gates, and the result
is general good feeling throughout
the regiment

ACTION MEETS
With DISFAVOR


Declaring that the Beretania play.
ground Is absolutely essential to the
welfare Of the children who reside in
its neighborhood because OF its CEN
trail location. Spencer Bowen, head
worker of the Beretania Settlement
and one Of Honolulu's strongest aivo-
Gates of Fairgrounds. this morning
voiced his protest against the report
r1ade last night by the roads commit
tee of the board of supervisors, which
vas to the effect that Aala Park be
turned into q playground to take the
place Of the one now located at Smith
end Beretania streets
The report OF the roads committee.
made to the supervisors last night and
adopted. Is as follows:
"Your committee on roads, bridges,
parks and public improvements to
which was referred communication
S71, relative to the playground at
Smith and Beretania streets, begs to
report that 1t has given this matter
due consideration and fails to see any
way that this board may relieve the
situation other than purchasing the
property. The property at the pres
ent time is leased by the Bishop Es-
tate to the Free Kindergarten and
Children's Aid Association for none
tary consideration. The association
has gone to considerable expense pur-
chasing and installing fixtures, etc,
for the amusement of the children
and IL it is necessary that the grounds
should be taken over for other pur.
poses your committee would recon-
mend that the association be allowed
the use of section of Aala Park. The
committee is heartily in sympathy
with the work carried on by the asso-
citation and would very much like to
see the continuance of same, but if it
viii become necessary for the city and
county to finance same, or to assist
financially, we would recommend that
this matter be referred to the, ways
and means committee for informa-
ton as to funds"
That Aala Park. the selection of the
roads committee as playground to
take the place Of the one at Beretania
and Smith streets, would be entirely
inadequate for use as a place of recre.
alton for the children in the neighbor-
hood OF the Beretania Settlement, is
the grounds upon which Mr.. Bowen
has based his protest. He brings out

NO FIGHT ON
! COMMISSION
IS FORESEEh
Chairman Mott-Smith of New
Public Utilities Body Says
He Doesn't Expect
Attack
CORPORATIONS ARE
NOW FILING RETURNS
Question of Jurisdiction Up in
Certain Cases. but General
Validity Accepted

That the public service corporations
of the territory will not question the
validity of the public utilities act
passed by the last legislature. and that
on the contrary they will show good
faith in working with the new COM
mission, is the belief reached since
september l by Chairman e. A. Mott
Smith.
The first days of September have
been crucial for the commission, and
the commissioners. Sometime ago the
chairman. sent out letters to all the
corporations that might fall within
the meaning of public utility ask
ing them for a statement of their
business. Upon this statement is to
be based the public utility fee, one
fortieth Of one per cent of the aggre-
gate par value of the stock and bonds
issued by such public utility and out
standing on December 81 of the pre-
ceding year.
II the public service corporations
are to oppose the work Of the COM
mission, 1t is in the returns to. these
letters that the first signs OF fight
are hooked for Hence the anxiety
with which the commissioners have
been looking for answers to the let
Hters, replies being due ON September
I.
This morning Chairman Mott-Smith
said that there has been no sign Of
opposition, and that several Of the cor
poration returns are already In. among
them such important public service
corporations as the Oahu Railway and
the Mutual Telephone company.
The corporations with whom the
conmissi1n rbnst dehf Afe ehowiug
every mention Of acfinE IN eitire
good faith, said the chairman this
morning. They are making the
statements ] asked for and we shall,
upon fixing the size of the fee under
the provisions Of law, mail them bill
for their payment.
There are several questions yet to
be settled, of course. Certain corpor-
atoms do not believe that they are
acting as public. utility corporations
In this territory under the meaning of
out act. 1t will require some investi-
cation into their business to deter
mine this, but they are quite willing
for the investigation to be made.
Where corporations are convinced
they should not pay this fee, that they
are not affected by the act, they will
naturally contest in case we insist on
the fee being paid. However, this con-
test win not hinge primarily upon the
validity of the law. but upon the in
depreciation of the law in determining
its scope,
II believe that the law is going to
be accepted as valid and that no con-
test win be raised on these grounds.
The public utility corporations will CO.
operate with us, ! am satisfied"
There has been considerable gossip
lately to the. effect that an attack
would be made on the general valid
ity Of the act. This will not be known
until later. Many corporations have
not yet indicated their course, and
the optimism of Chairman Mott-Smith
is based on the evidences of coopera-
ton so far shown.

KEALOHA Is
LOSER ON'3
BIG POINTS

Although the supreme court denied
Attorney C. H. McBride's plea in
abatement in the Kealoha impeach-
ment proceedings yesterday afser-
noon, the preliminary fight. to pre-
vent the hearing of the impeachment.
is not yet ended and win be renewed
September 20. when the attorney gen.
eral and Mcbride viii present oral ar
guments on a demurrer.
The supreme court yesterday held
against Kealoha's counsel on the
three important points Of his con-
tention, but informed him that one of
these could not properly come in the
form of a plea of abatement AS a
result, Mcbride is to bring forward
the third point on a demurrer, which
he has promised to file on or before
September 16, and on this the argu-
menL will be made September 20.
The supreme court, in an oral deci-
sion, expressed the opinion that the
three peutions presented by the at
torney general are Identical in form
and therefore may be regarded as
one, and that, as such they contain
beyond dispute the required number
of signatures, even though three Of
the signers may have asked to have
their names withdrawn.
McBride's second point, that the
signers had no personal knowledge Of
the facts set forth in the petition, Is
oyerruled.
His third main point is that the pc
titions have not been sworn to. The
court rules that these are not matters
for a plea in abatement and not to be
passed upon in the present instance.
The attorney generals demurrer to
the plea was sustained.
Attorney Mcbride, who was pres
ent when the oral decision was given,
Immediately noted an exception to the
ruling and gave notice that he will
file demurrer on or before Septem.
Der l6, asking that it be set for hear
ing September 20. His request was
granted.
The principal question, it is under
stood, TO be argued at that time will
be whether the signers must take
oath when attaching their names to
the petition calling for impeachment.
This means that the case Is to be
delayed several weeks longer and
that the actual Impeachment hearing
will not be reached before the latter
part of the month at the earlies.

LIGHTFOOT
MATTER Is
DISCUSSED

Members OF the special committee
of the bar association, appointed some
weeks ago to investigate the charge
made against JOS. Ljghtfoot by Claud-
ius Mcbride met at the Offices of City
and County Attorney J. w. Cathcart
this morning. The members OF the
committee are Senator Albert F. Judd,
A. D. Larnach and J. w. Cathcart. the
latter being chairman.
For an hour the members OF the
committee were in conference. What
decision, II any, was reached could
not be learned. It was stated by one
member of the committees that he did
not believe a report would be handed
in to the bar association for several
days at least. He added that it was
probable that a large amount of work
was ahead of the committee.
Sentor Judd has just recently re
turned from a months sojourn on Ha'
waii, and Mr.. Larnach has been on
Maui. Mr.. Cathcart has expressed his
wish tc leave for fortnight's vaca-
tion within few days, and in view
of these facts, it is not considered
likely that report will be made by
the committee at once.
Before the meeting Senator Judd
stated that as he had been away for a
month he did not know the exact sta
tus of the committees work. Mr..
Cathcart or Mr.. Larnach did not wish
to discuss the progress of the fnvesti-
cation.

lowing letter, signed by J. w. Cald-

August %:
I'VE beg very respectfully TO apply

States military reservation. known as
the 'Emmes Wharf Site,' which prior

manent improvements in accordance

now practically completed and only

With the application for a new five
year lease already on its way to
Washington for the approval OF the
secretary OF war, the territory is in
no danger OF losing that section of
the Queen street bulkhead known as
the Emmes wharf site and owned by
the federal government, according to
statements made this morning by Su-
perintendent OF Public Works Cald-
well, members of the board of harbor
commissions, and Frank C. Poor.
clerk of the board.
These statements were made in
the discussion of an article published
this morning to the effect that the
army is In possession of and is the
owner of the larger end of the new
Queen street wharf covering an area
Eof 10000 square feet and with water
approaches on two sides. IT was fur
ther stated that up until August Is,
1913, the strip of land In question was
held by tUe territory under lease from
the United States government but on
the date in question the lease expired
and the land reverted to the war de-
partment with all improvements The
harbor commission and the superin-
tendent OF public works are blamed
for having built q wharf at the ex-
pense Of the territory upon q military
reseryation saving that these two
offices either knew nothing Of the
fiye-year leasse from the federal gov
eminent. or ignored the fact that the
lease was soon to expire

A HAPPY MEDIUM

Mr.. Taft's address before the Am.
erican Bar association proves that
he has not modified his ideas con.
corning the desirability of free and
Independent judiciary, untrammeled
either by personal considerations or
public clamor. Indeed, his standpat-
ism on that question does not seem
to have been affected jot or a title
by the unfortunate results of last
falls election.
The former presidents critics find
themselves in an unfortunate position
when they wish to attack his view
of this question. While he regards
the judicial recall with disgust, he
was among the pioneers in the advo-
cacy of radical reforms In court pro-
cedure in the United States. He finds
1t possible to reconcile these views
most happily and his attitude is
equally irritating to the radicals who
wish to dub him reactionary. and
to the ultra-conservatives who would
like to lash him as b radical Herald
Republican.
