that its franchise will be passed by

by President Peck will ceme as a sur

anxiously awaiting to hear further
word on the extensions believed to be
contemplated by the tramway corpora

until congress acts fayorably on the
franchise measure passed during the

Stunning all the attention of the federal

by President Peck may be taken to
mean that for at least two years the

STEPS TAKEN TO
RECLAIM LANDS
ON Big ISLAND

The initial step toward the recla-
nation of the low-lying Waiakea
lands at Hilo was taken this morn
ing at meeting in Secretary Mott
Smiths Office of the several depart
mental heads who must share in un-
raveling the 'red tape" that will
make the reclamation possible. At
the close of the conference Mott
Smith announced that the necessary
legal formalities are to be taken up
at once, and that dirt probably will
be flying on the actual work early in
August.
While the tract in the Waiakea
district is not as large as the Kewalo
tract in Honolulu, on which similar
improvement is progressing at the
present time. it lies in an important
location and when the necessary fills
are completed, is expected to prove
one of the most valuable pieces Of
real estate in the Crescent Ciy.
The procedure or Inaugurating the
improvement project is to be prac-
tlcaIly identical to that employed on

CONDITION OF
|. JAPAN'S MIKADO
Still SERIOUS
Local Japanese Offer Prayers
for Early Recovery of
Yoshihito Harunomiya

In the temples of the Japanese OF
Honolulu prayers are being offered to-
day for the recovery of the emperor
of Japan, Yoshihito Harunomiya, who
is reported to be critically i'll In his
Toxic mansion. Great apprehension
that the ruler of the Nipponese win
succumb to the disease, which has
brought about Inflammation OF the
lungs and raging fever, is felt by
his countrymen here.
As early as yesterday when the Nip
pu Jill published an extra reporting
the emperor to be in q critical condi-
tion, the Japanese assembled at the
Shinto and Buddhist temples, where
prayers were offered up, for their ruler.
The temple doors have not been
closed since then.
[ News received this morning from
Toxic. reporting the condition Of the
emperor to be only slightly improved
caused added numbers to visit the
temples and join in the prayers, So
long as Harunomiya's life is in danger
will the supplications continue.
Several official cable messages, re-
garding the condition of Yoshihito
Harunomiya, 122nd emperor of Japan,
were received by Japanese Consul
General Eitake from the embassy at
Washington during the day. The lat
est, dated Washington, May 22nd, 10
a. m, reads:
Condition of emperor as follows:
At a. m. temperature 1877, pulse 81.
respiration 80. At noon temperature
39.7, pulse Sc, respiration 30. At.
p. m. temperature 1877. pulse 60"
The consul-general stated that this
news was very encouraging and that
his imperial majesty was gradually
improving.
If the condition of the emperor
does not improve, the wrestling
matches which were planned to be
held at the Athletic club tomorrow
will be indefinitely postponed. Two
champion wrestlers, who have toured
the world, defeating all comers, are
in the city and announcements we're
made that they would meet any
wrestlers in the territory tomorrow.

GREAT BRITAIN
PLANS COALING
STATION HERE
Statement Made That Site Has
Been Selected and Loaded
Vessel is Enroute.

That the British government is not
only contemplating the establishment
of coaling station in the Hawaiian
Islands, but that steps already have
been taken towards the selection and
requirement OF a suitable site for the
extensive plant, Is the report that
reached Honolulu today through re-
liable source.
The declaration Is now made that
the British government is determined
to prepare for the increased traffic
of its merchant marine with the open
ing of the Panama canal.
A few days ago, cable was re-
ceived in this city announcing the de-
parture of the British freighter Glen
artney from Cardiff, destined for Hon
olulu.
The only inference gained through
the seeeipts0f-a Q father vague and ana
biguous message, is that this vessel
has been supplied with large ship
ment of coal for these islands. The
Glenartney is believed to have been
chartered some weeks ago while call
ing at Continental ports for the trip.
At last accounts the Glenartney was
loading at Cardiff, having reached
there April "a.
Inquiry at the Office of T. H. Davies
& Co. this morning developed little
additional information concerning the
movements of the big British freighter
o: the freighter Glenspean, which is
reported to have sailed from Cardiff
for Honolulu So days ago, and should,
according to present calculation, ar
rive here the first part of June.
1t is stated that in chartering a
number of steamers to carry coal from
Cardiff to the Hawaiian islands, the
British government would confer a
distinct boom to trans-Pacific shipping
as well as all companies now planning
to operate freight and passenger car
riers in the Atlantic and Pacific by
way of Panama.
Whether the Cardiff would serve as
a permanent source of supply for
coal at the proposed new station yet
remains matter of doubt
It has been pointed out that the
British Columbian coal fields with i'm
mense deposits yet untouched, are
about 2400 miles distant from the Ha
waiian islands, and it might be more
practical as well as economical to
transport coal for the British station
from the Canadian Northwest.

Hailed
AS THE next
GOVERNOR

Edward M. Watson is hailed as the
next governor by many prominent
local Democrats today, following the
receipt of news from Washington in
the last forty-eight hours that points
Enthusiastically to the fact that the Ha-
waiian attorney is being given special
consideration by President Wilson.
Several cablegrams that have reach
ed here recently have confirmed the
published dispatches that Watson has
seen the president and that Wilson's
attitude seemed to favor Watson's ap-
pointment This. together with the
news that Wilson is likely to make
a nomination soon, has been taken as
pretty good proof that Watson will be
be the name sent to the senate.
Watson's friends say that he cabled
here day or two ago that he had
seen the president and considered his
prospects good, and close on the heels
of this cablegram came a newspaper
message that Wilson viii not wait
until September to name the new gov
crnor. This is believed to indicate
that Wilson is satisfied with Watson
and hopes to end the present Demo
cratic squabble at an early date
Secretary Lane. 1t is known, favors
the retention of Governor Frear in
office for several months longer, but
Watson's friends think that he has
personally satisfied Wilson regarding
his physical condition and that this
is what. has caused Wilson's determ-
ination to name Governor Frear's sue
cessor "soon." What Wilson means
by soon" is worrying good many
Bourbons. -

SCHt]NAN FIRM IS
PURCHASER OF
ASSOCIATED
Large Business Transfer Was
CoHSummated Through
Trust Company.

The most important business deal
of some weeks was consummated yes
!, terday afternoon when the Associated
Garage Ltd, of this city sold its in
terest i'm all of the new cars, acces-
sories and parts and merchandise on
hand to Gus Schuman, president and
treasurer Of the Schuman Carriage
Company. The deal was effected
through the Waterhouse Trust Com
pany and was the result of negotia-
tions which have been going On for
several months past
The transfer means that T.. q. Hall
& Son. proprietors of the Associated
Garage, are going out of the automo-
bile business after being prominent
factors in IL for some years. 1t signi-
fies also rapid development in the
Schuman firm and is taken as evil
dence of intention to make consider
able extensions in the business at
once.
II is understood that the transfer in
volved in the neighborhood OF $25,Oo0,
taking with 1t the actual stock on
hand and the good will" OF the busi-
ness.
The accounts receivable and all
other obligations due the Garage Com
pany, Ltd, will be payable to f. o.
. Hall & Son, who will also assume all
outstanding indebtedness Of the Gar
age company.
E. III. Paris. manager of E. 0. Hall
& Son, when seen regarding the trans
action, stated that his firm has de-
cided that the garage business re-
quires too much attention. with the
growth of our retail and wholesale
business, we have decided that all oGr
energy should be devoted to the gen
eral lines which we are now handling
and we cannot divert our attention to
an enterprise which requires so close
and intimate following up as does
the automobile business. This move
is not made because OF the present
local conditions, or on account of the
outlook of the sugar industry, for we
are all very hopeful of the outcome
IF national legislation, but is the result
of a decision of our directors made
more than a year ago that our grow
ing business needed all of our energy
and attention and that the handling OF
automobiles was too big an elephant
as side line"
