FREAAR TO Begin
BIG MESSAGE
E., TOMORROW
sti.sgsgskEsfE

Governor Frear expects to begin to-
morrow the actual work of inditing
his message to the legislature. His
time thus far has been taken entirely
by the preparation OF a mass OF
figures and Q table which wilk serve
as the appendix to- the message prep
er. In this he has ,een delayed con-
siderably by the hardness with which
reports from the various offices have
been coming in. Important data are
still forthcoming from the county
auditor of Hawaii, but these are an
ticipated tomorrow.
Several times the chief executive
has been compelled to revise his fig
TRES in recommendations for general
expenditures, made necessary by dis
coveries that the tax receipts for the
next two years will be inftisucient to
supply the demands.
While the needs of the growing ter
ritory have increased the demands for
public improvements, he finds, he
says, that the territory's income
threatens to be much less than in the
last few years, and as a result needy
projects must be cut down to the
minimum of cost.
The lower price OF sugar will reduce
the income tax materially, he says;
a number of big sums received from
inheritance taxes during the recent
years cannot be expected to be r
peated; while the large amounts Of
public lands formerly under lease.

eminent, are being given out to home

not return nearly as much in taxes
as they have been. These are some
of the principal causes, he asserts,
for the reduction IN the territory's in

APPOINTED
FOR new Army
DEPARTMENT

The murh-discuss"d question OF per
sonncl OF the staff OF the recently Gre
ated Hawaiian Department was an
swered this afternoon by cabled
message to department headquarters,
as follows:
Following officers assigned staff
commanding general, Hawaiian De-
partment: Chief of staff, A s. Conk-
lin; adjutant, A. Campbell; inspector,
J. G. Galbraith; chief surgeon, H. l.
Raymond; chief engineer, w. P Woot-
en-; judge advocate, E. K. Massee;
chief quartermaster, B. F. Cheatham;
chief ordnance officer and chief sig
nal officer, artillery district ordnance
officer or other line or staff officer
designated by department command
err
The only additions to the staff Of
the present Department Of Hawaii are
Lieutenant Colonel Galbraith, who is
now lieutenant colonel of the Fourth
Cavalry, and Lieutenant Colonel Mas
see, who is now assistant judge advo-
cate of the Western Division. 1t is
noted that Colonel Campbell and Col.
onel Galbraith are designated as lad
jGtant' and inspector" respectively,
instead of adjutant general, and in
srector general, as was the case with
the division organization. The wording
is not understood by army officers
rtre.
The first wave Of the flood Of Off
cial cabIegrams that is expected to
swamp the newly created Hawaiian
department reached army headquar-
tiers early this afternoon, in the form
OF message containing 456 code
words. While the chief clerk was
"unpacking" this tumble of meaning
less sylab1es, two more cable mes
sages arrived.
The messages carry War Depart
nent orders for the assumption of the
powers formerly held by division by
the new departments. For example,
no court martials appointed by the
Western Division are to take up any
naw cases for trial. Cases already
commenced will be continued, but as
soon as practicable the commanding
general of the Hawaiian Department
will appoint its own court martial
boards. AL functions formerly held
by the division. revert to the depart
r'ent, so that promotion boards
boards to pass on matters Of santa
TIC n, inspections of troops and ac-
counts, and many other matters af-
fecting the army here will be dispos-
cd of without reference to other au-
thority. The War Department is the
Crly authority higher than the Ha
Haiian Department.

Chinese Seek Government Subsidy
Chinese steamship companies await
some move upon the part of the new
government towards bestowing sub
stantial subsidies. Japanese competi-
ton, assisted by government subsidies,
dominates the whole position. Sus-
pended or reduced dividends are in
evitable in the Far East in view of the
6 1,200,000 which Japan pays in sub
sides each year. He adds: "On the
Yangtze, where the allied companies
hold their own, there would hardly
seem to be the demand for the ton
mage supplied and it has to be infer
red that the newcomers are relying
this year upon their subsidy in order
to maintain the service An even
more striking instance Of the value of
a subsidy in forcing a way into
market is seen in the Japanese SER
vice which since September 1911 has
been running between Calcutta, China
and Japan"

In little little more than an hour
from the time the case was called for
hearing the jury had been selected,
evidence taken, instructions read and
the jury's verdict returned in the final
Mahuka site condemnation suit in fed
eral court this morning. Counsel foG
the government and E. o. Hall e. Son
had agreed that S71,G44 was 4 reason
able sum to pay the firm for its
leasehold interest in the E. o. Hall
block, and this amount was returned
by the pury as a satisfactory figure.
Thus the long-drawn Mahuka site
litigation is ended, and all that re-
mains now to make the proposed fed
eral building a certainty is the pas
sage of the bill IN congress which in,
cludes the appropriation for the Ho-
nolulu edifice.
This does not mean. however, that
active work on the ground may begin
shortly, or that the new building will
be ready for oecupanty at any early
date, for the plans remain to be drawn
by the government architects at
Washington, and the present occu-
pants of the blocks now on the site
must be given a reasonable length OF
time to find and remove to a new
location. 1t is not thought the federal
building will be finished within two
or three years, at the earliest.
Judge A. A. Wilder represented E..
O.. Hall G. Son in the suit handled
This m9Eniags In s AbIes Was the
question asked him was his opinion as
to whether he regarded $71,644 a
reasonable figure to be paid the COM
pany TO 'rits leasehold. He replied in
the affirmative
. The only exhibits were the three
leases, given at various times by the
Austin estate to e. D. Hall. The last
Of these, in effect at the present time,
was still good for, a period Of eight
years and three months at The time
the condemnation of tho property
was instituted, on December %, 1910
On it the firm was paying rental OF
$1,000, but expert witnesses in former
cases stated they considered the lease,
hold worth 81 900 a month to the mer-
camille firm. This estimate was &C
cepted as reasonable by tie govern
ment.

CLAUDINE IN TROUBLE
tContinued from Pace u

manager ito slip off into deep water
and proceed on her way to this port
without serious damage.
s.. tsThe company Is just beginning to
reap the harvest that Mr.. Kennedy
has soWn broadcast" said Mr.. Ash
ford, commenting on the, report,
which, however. he declared himself
unable to substantiate.
According to statement from unof-
fetal but inside" sources today, the
steamer Claudine was taken into Ka-
hului by pilot, Parker, and not by
the new captain, Melvin. 1t, is said
that the Inter-Island wirelessed to
Kahului for Parker to take the
steamer in to make sure there would
be no trouble. +
The second of the developments
that made the masters and mates jul
bilant was the receipt OF a wireless
dispatch from Hilo declaring that the
masters and all mates Of the two
steamers Kaiulani and Keauho, which
make their headquarters in the Big
Island city, have cast in their lot with
the masters and mates and will stick
with the harbor in the fight.
1t was learned today that Captain
Haglund, former port captain for
the company here, left for Hilo Satur-
day for the sole purpose of talking to
the masters and mates or those
steamers. and while neither the at
torneys for the harbor nor any Of the
members Of the harbor who could be
reached, would discuss the matter at
all, it is taken that Haglund succeeded
in his mission beyond expectations.
Taken in connection with the resig-
nation Of Captain Lane, of the steam
er Helene turned in by that officer
this morning, and the reported inten-
ton of at least one of the malihinis
to join the harbor at once these events
heartened the captains tremendously.
Communications from the mainland
announced that the coast harbors of
the association are preparing to rem
der whatever aid is needed in the
fight, declared one of the members OF
the special committee this morning,
and Mr. Ashford added that steps are
being taken to get in close touch with
the headquarters Of the association
in Washington.
1--WE are fighting, now as always,
on the defensive" said Mr.. Ashford
this morning. I'VE are not claiming
the right to dictate, bat only to JUS
tice."
The Claudine, reported to have
touched the bottom of Kahului harbor
while in command CT Captain Parker,
the Kahului harbor pilot, was inspect
cd by a diver today.
The report submitted to President
and General Manager J. A. Kennedy
this afternoon is to the effect that the
bottom of the vessel is not damaged in
the least by the impact. A small
amount Of paint is declared to be
scraped off.
From what can be learned, the
Claudine merely touched the corral in
an attempt TO make the difficult land
il s 1t is said the company attaches
nc blame to Pilot Parker.
The presence of another vessel in
the port, with her long tern lines out,
and the consequent difficulty of get
ting the Claudine to her usual berth
is reported to be thought the cause Of
the accident,

PROVED
COSTLY ONE

Three Japanese labOrers, employees
Of local contractor were called upon
to pay a fine of $50 each at the con-
clusion Of hearing held before Judge
Monsarrat, at District Court this morn
ing, wherein the defendants were
charged and found guilty of setting
eff a series of blasts that succeeded
in creating considerable havoc along
the waterfront and lower portion of

The attempt to lay low a brick
building situated near the corner of
Queen and Mauna Kea streets, with
the assistance Of dynamite or giant
powder, failed in its purpose so far
as demolishing the structure IVES con.
cerned. The blasts, however, sent
tons of rock and other material sail
ing skyward. which in falling to the
earth seriously damaged the roofs of
adjoining buildings, and threatened
the lives of number of persons in
the neighborhood. The japanese de-
clared i'll court this morning that they
had taken precautions to warn the
public by placing red flags at the ap-
proaeh to the street.
Prosecuting Attorney Brown insist
ed that the Japanese displayed gross
Carelessness in the handling of the
high powered explosive and he ar
gued for the passage Of sentence that
would serve TO teach the defendants
a lesson.
The Japanese were charged under
the act that applies 70 the mainte-
nance Of a common nuisance.
The fines aggregating $50 it is said
will be settled b. The Japanese con-
