that this is by no means the record

had to agree with him. Last evening
was one of the most uncomfortable
nights this city ever experienced. 1t
was not because Of the high tenn
perature or the low humidity, for
neither are recorded at the weather
bureau but largely because there was
no breeze stirring. II was a steady
still heat that just wouldn't let up and
as a result many got little or no

v. E. LOUCKS
Says Pineapple Growers Ought
to Institute Publicity Cam
I)algn Before lnCreaS-
ing Acreage

That the Hawaiian pineapple grow
ers, before increasing their acreage,
should resort to a more extensive
campaign of advertising throughout
the mainland in order to be assured
Of a market for their production, is
the opinion of w. e. Loucks, rep

in company with Mrs. Loucks, is in

The ]. X. Armsby Company has for
a number of years handled and dis.
tributed the entire output of the Tho,
mas cannery at Kalihi, and in speak
ing of the quality of Hawaiian pines.
Mr. Loucks said this morning they
far excelled all others in the Ameri,

the same as the opinion of the heads
Of mainland concerns that have ham
died Hawaii's output. Since his arri-
val here, Mr.. Loucks has visited the
local canneries and, while being i'm
pressed with the modern facilities
brought into play for putting up the
pines, his attention has been attracted
to greater extent by the large areas
of land which are being cleared, or
which have already been cleared, for
planting pineapples.
Il believe that this increased acre
age has great deal to do with the
apparent over-production this year"

Developments today in the investi

Among today's important develop
ments were the following:
Superintendent of Public Works
Caldwell, who has repeatedly denied
that his office was carrying on an OF.
ficial inspection of the work, admitted
Under pressure that some ten days
ago q steel expert, W. C. Furer, was
employed to make an investigation of
the armory job. This investigation,
Caldwell insists, has nothing to do
with the question as to the safety of
the structure. The Star Bulletin
learns, however, that Furer was asked
to look into this phase of the matter
and to make report. The report is
expected next Monday.
Governor Frear said this morning
that his attention had been called to
the matter of the armory work last
week by COL Jones and that 1t is in
the hands OF the department of public
works.
The Star Bulletin publishes today a
letter from the Honolulu Planning Mill,
which has the armory contract, to Rip
ley & Davis, architects, which, in
brief, declares that the only feasible
way to put up the armory is to put
up the steel work first, and which
asks the question liz the steel work,
designed by the architects and accept.
ed by them. lis not strong enough to
be erected with safety" This ques-
tion, the contractors maintain, was
never answered.
The contractors take the position
that the architects approved the steel
work and that If it was not strong
enough to be put up on the plan in
sisted upon by the contractors, the
architects, as supervising the work,
should have stopped the construction
at once.
The architects say that a recognized
steel expert passed on the plans and
on the steel. and that the work was
permitted to go ahead on Mr.. Young's
assurance. though it is brought out
that the method urged as preferable
by Mr.. Young was not followed, but
second method which he thought
would answer.
The facts uncovered by the Star
bulletin and confirmed by those con-
nected with the armory construction
have already taken the scope of the
inquiry far beyond the immediate cir
surrounding Anderson's
death and into the question of the
safety of the armory construction,
with the peculiar features surrounding
it.

Democratic members Of the senate are
exceedingly sore because Of the ap-

Hawaii. Senator John Sharp Williams
OF Mississippi and senator Benjamin
r. Shively Of Indiana are leading the
movement to oppose Pinkham's con.

NO COMBINE EFFECTED
or WATSON AND WALLER
MEN AGAINST PINkHAM

No ponabination ef-aVAiier and Wat.
son forces has been effected to oppose
fhe oonfrmation I'm the senate Of L
q. pinkha,'1'1 pominafi0n as governor.
No conferences of,r6cognized Waller
and Watson forces was held yester.
day, nor has anyone with authority
from either Of the candidates taken
steps to start such opposition. or to
join hands in any kind Of protest.
Attorney I'm. Watson substantial
ed the above statements this morning
when asked by the ar-Bulletin as to
the truth of a published story that a
cobine against Pinkham had been
formed.
Il know of no such combine, nor Of
any move for II, and I doubt the wis
dom of such q move" he said. There
was no conference of my friends yes
terday with any Waller men with a
view to combining in protest to
Washington.
II was learned that possibly the
only basis for the story is that Wat
sons friends may present to the sem
ate committee on Pacific islands and
Porto Rico, to which the nomination
was referred, a statement dealing with
Mr.. Pinkham's residence In Hawaii
and his political affiliations while
here. This statement has probably
gone forward on the Sierra today, and
is believed to take the position that
Pinkham, by his absence from the ter
ritory while employed in the Philip
pines, had disqualified himself under
the residential clause.
Ii is also believed that it will de-
clare that Pinkham was a Republican
in territorial politics The statement
is said to be more in the nature OF a
party than personal objection to
Pinkham
AS to the statement, Mr.. Watson
would only say that he believed the
senate committee should be- fully in
formed as to the appointment before
II.
From Mr.. Walters closest political
associates comes absolute denial thai
any move has been made by the Wal
ler element to block Pinkham's con-
firmation. So far as can be learned,
Waller has not communicated with his
friends here as to course of action
to be taken.
Leading McCandless men regard the
confirmation of Pinkham as certain
and Mr.. McCandless' rather guarded
utterances indicate that he is taking
no steps either way, but that opposi
tion by him is doubtful.
As to Confirmation.
Opinions vary widely as to the prob.
ability of speedy confirmation. In
some quarters 1t is believed that Pink
ham will be confirmed next week
Others think that the Democrats in
the senate will delay action and as
matter Of party regard will allow all
protests to be filed, particularly those
by friends of the disappointed candi
dates. II is confidently predicted,
however, by leading Democrats that
the protests will not be united enough
to stick.
