to Refuse Injunction in
Government Wireless Case

TRENTON, Nov. 1S.-"War may
break out at any time and the policy
of this court is not to enjoin the gov
eminent from getting any apparatus

people," was the decision of United
states Judge Rellstab yesterday on
the application of the National Elec-
trio Signaling Company for an inJunc-
ton restraining the Marconi company
from making further deliveries of GER
tain goods, to the government, espe-
cially deliveries of goods to the great
signaling station at Arlington.
United States Attorney Davis APP
peared as an intervening party for
the government, and this provoked
the remark from the court. Counsel
for the National company, said that
his company could supply the in
fringing apparatus to the govern
ment and make as rapid deliveries as
can the Marconi company The court
said, however, that it would not dis
turb this Marconi contract, in view
of the possibility of war.
The court did issue the injunction

the fifteen-year sentence imposed
upon young man who killed his step
father for beating his mother Judge
Voorhees, issued a statement today, in
which he showed that the long term
was justified. He is upheld in his sem

Facts that We're not on the record

lowest ORDER said Judge voorhees,.
1.-THE stepfather was not married to
the woman, but had lived with her
for years. The son who did the kill

fourteen years old about seven years
ago. That case was not prosecuted
because his family made settlement

Return Match Here with Cali
fornians Is News Brought
Back Today
By LAURENCE REDINGTON

The All-HaWaii polo team is home
again Captain Walter F. Dillingham;,
F. f. Baldwin, Arthur Rice and Har-
old Castle, the two first mentioned ac-
companied by their families, renewed
their acquaintance with Diamond
Head from the deck of the Wilhelmi-
ma early this morning, and everyone
expressed pleasure at the home-com-
ing, in spite of the fact that the polo
invasion has been one grand success
from start TO finish. Sam Baldwin
remained in San Francisco for a
short stay, and is expected here be-
fore long.
The four men who put Hawaii on
the polo map of the world,-and did
the job so thoroughly that whenever
the greatest sport of all is mentioned
in east or west, Hawaii will be a fac
tor in the discussion have nothing
but good words for everything con-
nected with their long campaign on
the polo fields of California. There
is not a kick or a complaint from any
one of them, but, being students of
the game, as we'll as past masters of
its exploitation, they are able to throw
some. interesting side lights on the
why and the wherefore of their vic
tories and their defeats. What they
have to say regarding ponies, playing
conditions, and the various little in
cidents which go to make up the luck
of the game, is intensely interesting to
the initiated. In a nutshell, the Ha-
waii team, although beaten by Coro-
nado and the Slashers, proved itself
to be about the equal in the long run
of any four ever seen on the Pacific
coast. This is not the Judgment of
the players themselves, but rather the
verdict of experts of both the east and
west, who told the Hawaiians some
very flattering things about them
selves, their mounts and their sports
manship, said compliments being
drawn rather reluctantly from the re-
turning players. Every man was
willing to retail some compliment paid
to one of his team mates, and by proc
ess of compilation it is apparent that
individually and collectively the locals
made big hit in Coast polo circles.

LUSTY YOUNGSTERS Of PALAMA
TURN FIREFIGHTERS in CAMP

When fourteen members of the Pa
lama Sunday school, under the leader
ship of Spencer Bowen and two as
sistants, left for a weeks camping
trip down the country last Monday
morning, they all had visions of an
entire week of pleasure with little
or no work to do However, when
the party returned to the city last
Saturday night, each member brought
with him the necessary qualifica-
tions for a berth in the city fire de-
partment.
. 1t all happened last Tuesday after
noon. The boys had gone into camp
on P NJ. Ponds ranch at Mokuleia
about mile up into the hills at the
base of Kahala. On Tuesday after
noon the party took trip up into the
hills with a view of making a survey
of the country. When they had gone
perhaps two miles, one of the young
sterS climbed a tree and soon start
led the others with cry of fire"
When the other members of tn party
went to look see" it was discovered
that a short distance away about an
acre and a half of the long gress
which prevails in that district was on
fire. The wind was blowing and
sweeping the fire toward a small for
est which surrounded the clearing
The fire had gained considerable
headway by the time the party reach
ed the scene and looked for time as
if it would reach the forest before
it could be checked. Securing a num-
ber of koa branches, the boys attack
ed the fire with vim which would
have made the local firemen turn
purple with envy. Starting in at the

RAW PINEAPPLE
DUTY REDUCED
IN new TARIFF

"PineappIes, from s cents to 6 cents
per cubic foot capacity or barrels or
Packages; from IS to s. per thousand
iii bulk -..-
Such is the change in the duty on
pineapples proposed in the Democratic
tariff bill. From the published reports
to hand it does not appear that canned
pineapples come in for any reduction
There is nothing about a change in
the duty on preserved fruits, which is
. cents pound. Last year the ship
ments of raw pineappies to the main
land amounted in value to S54,25S, as
compared with a value of $3,329, ,097
in canned pineapples, so that the re-
duction of duty on the raw fruit is
unimportant to the territory. 1t is
likely, moreover, that the shipments
of raw pines this year will be consid-
crably less than last year, as the
Pinectar Sales Company is going out

cisco with the expiration of existing

FRIENDS SAY
{. N. WATSON
IS THE man
Call to Washington Taken as
Showing Other Candidates |
Not Wholly Favored

Attorney E. NJ. Watson is leaving
for Washington on the Lurline this
evening with the assurance that no
appointment of governor for the terri
tory will be made until he arrives at
the capital and with the further as
surance OF strong support locally.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr.. Wat
son made arrangements to sail on
the Lurline today. He had first in
tended to sail on the Mongolia, but
was unable to secure the necessary
booking and it was not until late in
the afternoon that his plans were
finally settled. He will be accompa-
MED by his wife.
Bronzed and alert-looking after sew
eral weeks at Kohala beach. Mr.. Wat
son this morning showed an improve
ment in health during the past few
months that his friends declare is
wonderful. Moreover, he expresses
himself as absolutely confident that
he can make the trip without trouble.
II have not the slightest doubt tina
am well able make the trip he
said this morning. Some time ago /
expressed myself as against going to
Washington simply to seek the office,
but / am going now because | feel II
is my duty My friends believe that as
am candidate, should, under the
circumstances, go to Washington, !
since 1t is evident the president and
secretary of the interior wish to see
all the candidates there"
Mr. Watson is not accompanied by
a nurse and he laughingly remarked
this morning that if he could make
the trip across the continent six
months ago, there is no need for him
to worry about it now. While he has
not made public the source of the
cablegram that came to him yester-
day, ii may be authoritatively stated
that the message came from promi-
nent Democrat in congress who is a
strong Watson supporter, and the
fact that the cablegram has come en-
courages Mr.. Watson's local support
ers to believe that he has an exceed
ingiy good chance of being named
the next governor OF Hawaii.
Il freely admit that II it is neces-
sary for the governor of the territory
to run foot-races or to put on the
gloves, would have to be counted
out" said Mr. Watson frankly this
But as far as the other
requisites go, feel perfectly up to the
work. Otherwise l wouldn't be going
to Washington"
The comment in political circles
this morning was frequently to the ef-
feet that If Watson's health permits
lin to go to Washington, he may BE-
sure of plenty of support here, and on
this theory, the balance of opinloa,
which has been leaning to McCand-
less, began today to swing the other
way.

WILL SOLVE DRYDOCK PROBLEM,

To Investigate GayIer Plan.
Admiral Stanford was not prepared
to state whether the plan suggested
by Civil Engineer Gayler, for con-
structing the drydock of concrete
blocks cast on shore and lowered into
the basin by the floating crane, the
spaces between to be filled by pour
ing underwater concrete through
tTemies, would be the one adopted. 1t
is known that the Gayler plan was
favorably considered in Washington,
but the bureau chief does not care to
make any fat-footed statement as to
its adoption.
Mr.. Harris and will spend good
deal of our time at Pearl Harbor," said
Admiral Stanford In fact, as all the
records of the work are now kept
there, besides its being the base of
operations, it might be said that all
our working time would be spent
there There is much 70 be learned
about conditions surrounding the
work, and the causes that led up to
the recent accident, and Pearl Harbor

Admiral Stanford Begins Inyes-
tigation-Tells of Plans for
Beautifying Pearl Har-
bor Station Ii.

There is no welhsnarked, macadam
highway leading to s6iltion of Pearl
Harbor's drydopk problems. Those
who travel the road must cut their
way through the jungle of the un-
known and the untried, and as you
know, such trail-making is uncertain,
both as to results and time"
So said Read Admiral Homer Stan
ford, u. s. N, chief of the Bureau of
Yards and Docks, who has come from
Washington to tackle the Pearl Har-
Dor conditions first hand. Admiral
Stanford is a master of simile, and
his comparison between the open roart
and the path perilous, in connection
with the engineering problems which
confront the naval experts in the max
ing of the big ship basin, hits the nail
sQuarely on the head. ~.-:... T..
at would be mere guesswork. and
very unwise as well, for the drydock," :"
continued Admiral Stanford, chatting
with Star-Bulletin reporter at the
Moana Hotel last night. I'VE are here
to make investigation and if possible
arrive at results. 1t may be some
time before we have all the data re-
quired, and have formulated plans"

marks applies to Civil Engineer F. R.

How HE JOLTED THE JOLOS

AS an instance of the state of un.

the following incident:
He was some distance from camp
overseeing the work of gang of la.
borers, and sitting on log in the
shade reading newspaper. Sudden
ly he looked up, and noticed that all
the men had stopped work and were
looking interestedly at a point be-
hind him. He turned without rising,
and found himself staring into the
eyes of Moro, who was but few
yards distant, crawling stealthily
through the grass with the evident
intention of finishing the officer with
cne silent blow, as he held a huge
knife ready for action. Captain
Humphrey drew his revolver without
getting up, and killed the man with
the first shot. He then turned and
continued his perusal of the newspa
per, without so much as looking at
the men in front of him. His actions
so surprised the latter that they went
contentedly bac kto work, instead of
jumping him. The dead man was

] u RY DECLARES
TAI CHONG AN
EMBEzZLER
Savings Bank Clerk Convicted
OF Crime as Climax to
Noted Case

The jury in the Goo Tai Chong en-
heZzlement case returned a verdict
of guilty as charged at twelve-tWenty
o'clock this afternoon, having been
out seven minutes. The crime for
which Chong was charged, embezzle,
ment in the first degree. Is punish.
able by q fine of five times the
amount embezzled or by ten years
imprisonment.
The case for the defense became
known for the first time this morning
when Attorney Lightfoot, waving a
preliminary statement of his case, in.
troduced copy Of the extrndition pa,
pers upon which Chong was returned
from Japan and then plunged at once
into his appeal to the jury. Lfghtfoot
pointed out that his client was
charged with a specific crime alleged
to have been committed upon def
mite date. He read the extradition
papers to the effect that Chong was
being extradited for having embezzled
$1,000 upon the 2Sth day of June. 1912.
This was the crime charged, he stat.
ed, and the prosecution had not prov
en- that an ysum of money had been
taken upon the particular date set
forth. The attorney for the defense
made little attempt to refute former
alleged embezzlements, stating that
such additional crimes we're not
charged in the indictment.
In summing up the case for the
prosecution Attorney E. G. Peters
pointed out the number of forged
withdrawal slips which had been ad-
mitted as evidence and upon which
Chong, according to H. Gooding Field,
the expert employed to examine the
books, had taken out Of the bank
something less than $4,000. Peters
also called attention to the condition
of the books of the savings company,
which, as Field testified, had been
plugged to make up glaring dis.
crepancies.
Judge Robinson's charge to the
jury was brief and to the point The
trial was one of the drearfest on re-
cord owing to the fact that counsels
engaged in innumerable technical dis
cussions. As soon as the jury's YER
dict was announced, Attorney Light
foot moved an exception to the judg-
ment and made a motion for a re-
trial. 1t is said by those who have
followed the case that it will in all
probability go before the supreme
court Bail was fixed at $4,000
pending the hearing ia motion for
a new trial
Although there have been several
reports as to the amount of money
that Chong got away with, the expert
testimony of H. Gooding Field fixed
The probable amount at considerably
less tha ns5O,O00,0OO and the bank Of
fieers consider the chances splendid
for "saIving" a good deal Of this.
Chong was a clerk of the First
American Savings & Trust Company.

in extinguishing the last spark. An
investigation was made shortly after
the fire was put out, and it was pro-

not be learned, but it is supposed that
some cowboy dropped lighted cigar

was as dry as tinder on account of
there being no rain for some time.

there for the night. About ten o'clock,
when everybody was asleep, Jupe
Pluvius turned on the faucet and
sent the rain down in torrents.
Fortunately there were a number of
sections of corrugated iro nroof in
the immediate vicinity, and with
these the boys made temporary
shelters for themselves. They crawl
ed under these, wrapped themselves
in their blankets aid despite the tor

the hoodoo still fingered in the neigh
borhood and at about one o'clock a
strong wind happened by to court the
rain, and as playful trick, blew all
the covers off the sleeping lads. The
sheets of iron sailed away in the
breeze, leaving the greater number
of the party exposed to the rain
which only increased in volume. A
short consultation was held and the

spending certain time during the
