RUM0R HAS WILDER
LEADING IN RACE
FOR G0vERN0RSHIP

At variance with more direct news
from Washington were rumors today
among the administration officials at
the capitol building that Judge A. a.
Wilder is now first choice at Wash
ington for governor of Hawaii, and
that f. NJ Watson, who is at present
at the national capital, is strongly urg-
ing Judge Wilder's appointment. The
same rumors say that Mr.. Watson is
seeking the position of associate jus
tice of the supreme court, to succeed
Justice Antonio Perry, whose term ex-
pires tomorrow.
The term of Circuit Judge w. l..
Whitney also eXires tomorrow Judge
Whitney's reappointment was en-
dorsed some time ago by the Bar As
sociation. Democrats frequently men
toned as possibilities for this job are
Joseph Lghtfoot, c. W. Ashford and
Glenn Quinn. On the other hand, sew
eral well known Democrats said this
morning that Judge Whitney's record
is such that there is no wish among
the Democrats to disturb him on the
bench.

new BOARD Is
Named hPEARL
HARDDR PROBE

In. order that the fullest fnvestiga-
tion may be made as to the fitness
of the Pearl Harbor site for a perma-
nent drydock, a board of navy civil en-
gineers has been appointed to make
further Investigations and tests OF en-
gineering conditions. In last Satur-
days issue the Star-Bulletin stated
that such board would probably be
appointed, and Saturday afternoon a
cable from the navy department for
convening the board reached Rear Ad-
miral Mq1re.
Civil Engineers E. r. Gayier, F. r.
Harris and Samuel Gordon are named
as members Of the board, in orders is
sued from the naval station today.
Civil Engineer Gayler, public works
officer N Hawaii, is the senior mem
Der, and will preside at the meetings.
Gordon is also attached to the local
station, while Harris is public works
officer at the New York navy yard,
coming here several weeks ago with
Rear Admiral Homer Sanford to as
sist in the preliminary examination of
the drydock disaster, that came to an
end with the departure of the bureau
chief for the Coast last Saturday
The findings of this board will be of
the greatest Importance to the govern
ment, the contractors, and to Hawaii
as whole. Its report will be the fl
nal word as to whether or not the dry
dock contractors were responsible for
the disaster of February II, or wheth-
er the rising of the bottom was due to
the natural unfitness of the site. If
the former is the case, and it is deter
mined to build the dock according to
the original specifications, then the
financial loss is sure to fall much
more heavily on the contractors than
if some other rlethod of construction,
or the building of a floating drydoek
is determined on. To date there has
been nothing in the Investigations to
show that the contractors are not re-
sponsible for the accident
The new board of investigation will
convene Thursday. 1t has the power
to make such further physical tests as
are deemed necessary, to work in con-
junction with the contractors, and to
examine any witnesses it may see fit
to call.

WIFE'S TAUNTS
CAUSED Crime
Operator Heartbroken Over
ACt-Korean Youth Killed
by Automobile

and justifying his act by asserting
that she had tormented him until he
Whaley, night operator for the Mutual
Telephone Company. who sent death
bullet through his wife's brain Sunday
evening at the end of quarrel in the
company's operating room, declared
this morning that he was insane when
he committed the murder, and that he
will rest his defense ON that ground.
Meanwhile, as remorse broke from
him in sobs, the coroner's jury was
sworn in and taken before the body
of Mrs. Whaley at the morgue, which
rests on slab near the body of the
Korean, King Chun, who lost his life
the same day, being struck by an auto
mobile driven by Henry Aki. Further
investigation into the death OF both
victims will be conducted by the jury
tomorrow, the inquest over the body
of the woman having been set for
10:30 tomorrow morning, and the lat
ter for 2:30 in the afternoon.
The shot which killed the woman
and the machine which ended the life
of the boy cover another chapter in
the volumn of tragedies which has
been unfolded here in the last two
weeks.
Differing in their circumstances, the
murder of Mrs. Whaley stands out
from the others as one generated from
jealousy, which was touched on when
the young man was first arrested and
which he has repeatedly reiterated:
Il killed the woman who was my
wife; but she taunted me to do it. l
killed her-but O! what else could |
do? She tormented me So"
The murder occurred few minutes
after s o'clock in the upper operating
room of the telephone company.
Whaley was alone in the room when
a carriage drove up from which his
wife alighted. Dismissing the driver,
she crossed the little strip Of grass to
the side door Of the building, hurriedly
entering. A few minutes later. the
voices of the couple rose above the
noise of the clicking of switchboards,
the woman's sharp and high. Once
she was heard to snap:
Shoot me, why don't you shoot me-?
you fool"
Those were her last words. Through

With the arrest of eleven persons
over Sunday, charged with having

made a misdemeanor under the Chill

sion of the legislature, the first con-
certed action has been started to at
tack the constitutionality of the
statute.
1t was announced in the police court
this morning when the cases of the
eleven were called, that a fight would
be made on them, and request was
made to postpone the hearing for a
few days, which was done.
Ii was reported IN the court that
the prisoners, a few of whom have
given bail, are retaining attorneys and
are prepared to fight the new act to
the highest court on the ground that
it deprives them CT constitutional
rights.
Under the provisions of the act,
a person is guilty of a misdemeanor if
opium is found upon him, without re

Honorable John B. Renters
British consul stationed here has re-
ceived work that Former Ambassador
James Bryce intends to spend only a
few hours at Honolulu on his way to
the Orient from the United States. He
expects to have little more than time
to pay his respects to the local dig
nitaries while the steamship Mongolia
is in port.
Bryce will arrive here next Friday
and intends departing the same day.
1t had been hoped to have him remain
on the islands for several days at
least, possibly inducing him to visit
the volcano and inspect some of the
local scenes and industries.
Territorial Secretary Mott-Smith,
on whom the responsibility of arrange
ments for distinguished guests usually
falls, leaves tomorrow for ten days
vacation on Molokai. In his absence
that duty reyerts to the governor.
Definite plans for Bryce's reception
and entertainment cannot be perfect
ed until the latter part of the week,
when the governor probably will get
into direct communication with him
by wireless.

by the citizden-soldiers. From 8 un-

companies, platoons and squads be-
fore the sharp eye of the inspector.
They drilled creditably, and showed
more snap and interest than has been

dismissed.

fore Senate Sub Com.

According to a cable received here
Saturday, the senate committee on fl
nance, which has in charge the sugar
tariff bill-the whole tariff bill, in
facts about call a special hear
ing, before a subcommittee with
Senator Williams, as chairman.
This would mean q somewhat un-
expected reopeniRg of the subject, in
dicating that the claims of Hawaii
and other sugar Communities are like
ly to get more of a hearing than was
expected 1t is, showever, generally
in line with a cable received from
Chairman ShafrotA of the senate com.
Inittee on territories, in which he
stated that the committee would not
grant hearing, but invited briefs
and arguments. According 60. one
view, the later cable may mean that
the finance committee has decided, in
view of the numerous appeals, to
grant some sort Of hearing, and has
therefore referred the matter to a
subcommittee.
Nothing has been heard from Car.
ter on the subject. of hearing. How.
ever, the ''tip" that there is to be a
rehearing soon, with John Sharp viii.
liams Of the subcommittee in charge
is thought to be q good one. If it is
it breaks up the reported Democratic
program of rushing through a tariff
reform bill without taking up separ
ate schedules.
If sugar has a separate hearing, SC
may other items, and the decision
may be very long way off.

Attorney f. NJ Watson-s appoint.
ment as governor OF Hawaii is conf.
IDENTIFY expected by his close friends
and supporters here, and they expect
furthermore that President Wilson
and Secretary Lane will make a move
within as hours.
Two facts combined today in the
fostering OF this feeling. First, the
news came out that Secretary Lane
had cabled to at least one prominent
Democrat in connection with the gov
ernorship situation Just what Lanes
cablegram said was not given out for
publication, the contents of the mes
sage being regarded as confidential,
hut 1t evidently convinced the leading
Bourbons that President Wilson and
Secretary Lane are thinking of NAM
ing a new governor within few
hours 1t is certain that the message
indicated an early change as being
now the intention OF the secretary of
the interior.
Though it could not be definitely as
certained, il is believed that other mes
sages from Washington have come
within the last two days asking as to
whether or not the national admins
tTation should change governors at
this time. Governor Frear,- as has
been published, considers that in some
respects IL would be wise to make no
change in Office until after the gov
ernor's annual report is out OF the
way. Governor Frear does not wish
reappointment and is ready to relin-
quish the reins when HIS successor is
appointed and Qualified, but many Of
those In touch with Hawaif's official
affairs have urged that no change be
made In the executive office until Au-
gust or September, when the boards
may be swept clean for new admin
istration. That Secretary Wilson con-
siders an immediate change is now
we'll assured.
The other piece OF news that
cheered up the Watson people is that
Ed" as they call him. has arrived in
Washington feeling well and has
emerged from his conference with
Lane much encouraged over the cut
look AS shown by the cablegram to-
day from the Star-Bulletin's Washing
ton correspondent, people In Washing
ton seem to think that Watson is in
fairly good health. and that he is rap
idly recovering from the effects of the
paralytic stroke that visited him in
Washington and from which he was
suffering severely when he left the
national caital His cablegram to
Senator Metzger last Saturday, that
he was feeling bully" and the fur
ther news today, has encouraged his
friends hQmensely.
On the other hand, neither the Nc
Candless nor the Waller supporters
have lost heart. In fact, the Mct;and-
less hackers today were smiling over
the receipt of some news from Wash
ington which was said to be of the
most optimistic sort
As the candidacy of Senator Metz
ger is conditional upon the rejection
of Watson, and as Judge Wilder's can
didacy is uneonfirmed and indefinite.
The local situation will probably be
unchanged until Watson is either ap-
pointed or turned down.
