.BIGARMYFORHAWAII, SAYS :.
gen. funston AT LUNCHEON

Saying he was not a professional
speechmaker, General Funston opened
a short talk at luncheon at the Com
mercial Club today, by telling OF a
speech he made in Denver shortly
after the Philippine war and its re-
suit. "a big stick from the White
House hit me-" said the gallant COM
mander, and l. have had trouble in
the ears ever since" He could not
tell them anything new from the
United States, as he had not been
home for some years and good part
OF the country had lately been washed
away" .- .'a . I.
The army command in Hawaii had a
good deal of interest Just now, the
general proceeded, as it was the only
place outside of the Philippines where
development was in progress. This
station was not like some on the
mainland, where the chief interest in
the army related to the alfalfa the
reople could sell TO the troops. Homo
lulu does not have to ask for the sta
tioning of troops, the forces being
sent here for national purposes. There
would be larger force here than any
where else under the flag. Naturally
il will be a very desirable thing for
the business people here to have H.
600 or $4,000 troops in the city or near
it." said the guest of honor. "lf the
black cloud now hanging over you
should grow a little worse, you can
live off the army" Laughter }. ~..- :
General Funston then switched his
remarks to the Philippines where he
said everything was now peaceful eX-
cept in the province of Moro. They
had the best laws he knew anywhere,
and they we're we'll enforced by the
Philippine constabulary, containing
some Americans, but a large proper
ton of Filipinos. The force was so
efficient that if man committed a
crime he was uD against the same
proposition as he would be in the
most orderly community Of the United
States. They get him"
Yet everything was not bright. he
went on to say. There -ere agNtors
there He did not have anything to
say against Manuel QIezon, delegate,
and his associates, but they were ut
terly impracticable in thsir, ideas. If
they achieved independence. at the
present juneture, enterprise would fall
off and the revenues decrease. No
doubt the country would have as good
a government as it deserved, but

MAN BRECKONS TRAPPED
Is GIVEN NEW TRIAL

Granting the defendants motion for
re-trial of the Goo zee VS.. Rosen-
berg opium case, decided in Judge
Cooper's court some time ago, the
supreme court, in an opinion filed
this afternoon, re-opened one of the
most unusual cases ever tried in the
local courts
Those who followed the case at
the time, remember that Yee was a
Chinese who purchased $114 worth of
opium from Rosenberg. After the
sale, it developed that the opium had
been furnished to Rosenberg by U.
S: District Attorney Breckons as a
means of catching zee in a trap and
of convicting him of the Illegal pur-
chase of unstamped opium. 1t also
developed that the opium cans were
marked with the initials of Collector
of Customs Stackable, which, Yee de-
clared, made him think that it was
the stamped article. When zee ap-
pealed to the circuit court to be paid
the money which he had given for
the "hop" he won his case. The de-
cision of the supreme court this after
noon overruled the former decision
and the famous case will again come
to trial. @.s a.

there would not be tie same conf
dence in things as now. ~
AS it is, the civil government OF the
Islands is self-sustaining. Lately a
reputable magazine had commented on
the millions of dollars the Philippines
are costing, but as matter Of fact
they are not costing the United States
one cent for their civil government.
Concluding. General Funston ex-
pressed doubt that rapid progress
would be made by the Philippines IN
producing sugar. Their labor supply
IS inefficient The native of the Philip
pines was honestly opposed to labor
of any kind.
President G.. F. Bush of the club
presided, with him at the table of
honor, besides General Funston and
staff, being Admiral Moore, Governor
Frear. Secretary Mott-Smith, Judge
Dole, Colonel Jones and F. w. Macfar-

And Even Women's Suffrage
May Be Helped Along Be-
fore Adjournment

1t is now quite certain there will
be no special session of the legisla-
ture. incidentally, the seat left va
cant by the death of Representative
Poepoe will remain without an occu-
pant through the remaining sixteen
days of the regular session.
The time is far too short to per-
NIT of special election for a sue
cessor to the vacancy, to enable him
to take part in the deliberations of
the present session. Speaker Hol-
stein said this morning that no spe-
ciaI session Is at all likely, and that
the only value Of special election
TO choose. q successor might be to
have one In casesa new chief execu-
tive Ii appointed by the national
Democratic administration. In the
event of the appointment of a new
governor, that official might call a
special session; if so, he would have
ample. time then to also call the
special election to fill Poepoe's place.
Territorial Secretary E. A. Mott
Smith, on whose Office devolves the
duty of issuing such calls and ar
ranging the details of elections, coin
cides with this opinion.

.HARBOR BOARD IS
|. PROBING WHARF
CHARGES
Former EmpIoye of Contract,
ors Declares He Was In
Structed to Use Under
weight Copper

Informed through the testimony OF
John Herley, laborer formerly in
the employ of the Lord-Young En-
cheering Company, that 16-ounce
copper sheets have been placed upon
some of the piles of the Queen street
bulkhead wharf whereas the specifica-
tions call for copper weighing 1S
ounces to the linear foot, Harbor Com
missioners C. j. Mccarthy and James
Wakefield have been appointed an
committee to give the report a thor
ough investigation.
The harbor commission began first
to get wind of the situation last We'd
nesday. Previously, it appears that
Herley had visited Commissioner Nc
Carthy and told him that under
weight copper was being used on the
wharf Mccarthy directed Herley to
make his complaints to the commits
sion. The commission had before it
on Wednesday Inspector Richey, who
reported on the facts of the copper
he had inspected. Engineer Parks
and Herley Commissioners Berndt,
Mccarthy, McStocker and Wakefield
were all present at the meeting.
None of the commission intimates
that the contractors knowingly used
the lnderweight copper, but all are
anxious to find out Just what the
facts are and why Herley should have
made his charges. .- ..
When seen by a representative Of
the StarBulletin this morning, Herley
stated that he had been dismissed
from the eemploy of the Lord-Y Young
Company because of the disappear
ance of ten sheets of copper for
which he was held responsible. He
admitted freely that he was anxious
to get back at the company for ,this
reason. Herley stated that he put
16-ouhce copper sheeting around the
piles without knowing that the speci-
fications call for 1S-ounce.
Foreman Agasy drew me little
sketches of his own of the work re-
quired and never showed me the
specifications. he stated.

morning the statements made We'd

WILSON NOW
LEANING TO
McCANDLESS
Cause Must Be Shown Presi.
dent Why Link Should Not
Be Appointed

Especial star-sulletin corrsspondencel

! Especial Star-bulletln Correspondence
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 81
President Wilson is leaning in the di
rection of appointing Lincoln L. Nc
Candless to be governor Of Hawaii
No definite conclusion has been reach
ed but the president appears to be-
lieve that Mr.. McCandless has beer
more strongly recommended for the
position than any other candidate.
This statement is made on the high.
est possible authority. 1t does not re.
suit from speculation or gossip. II
may only prove straw but does IN.
dicate that the appointment wind is
blowing toward Mr.. McCandless. He
must be credited with at least being a
nose ahead in the gubernatorial race.
In having impressed the president g
mind that he is the most available
man for the governorship. Mr.. Nc
Candless has profited from good team
work and a great mass OF recommend
ations. He was personally endorsed
by many prominent Democratic poll
tlcians from the state of Washington
and other commonwealths along the
Pacific coast. This has undoubtedly
assisted Mr.. McCandless in his can.
didacy.
The fact remains that Mr.. McCand-
less Will be bitterly assailed. He will
be opposed all along the line. What
ever complaints are lodged against
him must have some foundation in
fact. President Wilson Is an obstinate
cnd determined man. He viii not
abandon purpose or forsake friend
unless plain reasons are set before
him for doing so. He may hereafter
lie persuaded to drop McCandless but
sufficient cause must be shown him.
Secretary Tumulty, who often is
close adviser of the president on mat
ters Of appointment, has also reached
the conclusion that Mr.. McCandless
has taken the lead and will prove q
formidable competitor for the Hawaii
an governorship.
IA other, respects the situation has
undergone no material change during
the dull period preceding the extra
ordinary session of Congress slated
for April Z. Chairman McCombs and
Secretary Lane have been busily oc-
cupied with all sorts of important af-
fairs and have given little heed to the
political status in Hawaii.

NO SPECIAL Session IN SIGHT
SAYS SPEAKER HOLSlEIN NOW

I'VE are moving along nicely now, .
said Speaker Holstein, and can see
no reason at present for an extra
session The only important feature
still requiring detailed consideration
is the general appropriation bill.
The public utilities measure Is in
the hands Of the committee but can
be definitely decided In very short
time; the Honolulu charter bill al
ready has passed the senate, is now
in the house, and can be disposed of
in few days; the workmen's COM
pensation measure is progressing
nicely, and all other matters OF mo-
ment can be cleared up without un-
due haste"
The Speaker also took occasion to
remark that virtually every pledge
of the Republican campaign plat
form has been fulfilled, save that
regarding women suffrage, and even
offers a bright rassof hope to the suf-
lragists.
I'VE were not ready to act on the
woman suffrage question when 1t
first came up" he said, ''but 1t Is by
no means dead-merely tabled-and
can be resurrected at any time. And
it undoubtedly will be brought to the
fore by the house leaders in the last
two or three days of the session.
we are not opposed to equal sHf-
frage, by any means, and will prob
ably enactt some Legislation on the
subject before the session ends"

FUND
FOR M
PLANNED

The securing of a permanent endow-
ment of $4,000 for The Young Mems
Christian Association is the plan
which is now being worked out by a
special finance committee composed
Of F. C. Atherton, chairman; B. +.
Dillingham; and r. H. Trent. At the
regular meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the association which was
held yesterday afternoon, the special
committee reported its preliminary
findings and the board voted to take
definite action toward raising the en-
dowment.
In the report of the special commit.
tee, plan was set forth whereby the
board adopt policy of receiving an
endowment for the association with
the aim to be set as follows: educa-
tional work, $4,000; religious work,
100000; physical work, $50 1000; boys
work, $30,000, and administrative eA.
penses, $4,000. This would give the
association an endowment of $4,000.
which, invested, would bring In a
yearly income of $4,000 to carry on
the present lines of activities, and
establish several new features which
are greatly needed. 1t is not the in
tention of the association to carry on
a campaign for raising this money,
but to insert in its annual report a
statement of the needs along the var
ious lines in hopes that 1t viii lead
to gifts and bequests for the purposes
specified. III. i
The board of directors at the meet
ing voted in tWenty-one new members
to the association, which brings the
total enrolment to 1916, after deduct.
ing those who have been dropped
from the rolls for non-payment of
dues. The report of the general Sec
retary showed some interest ing fig.
Tres: 2539 games of bowling were
rolled in the alleys during the past
month; the total enrolment in the
night school classes prior to their
closign for the spring vacation was
&68 students in. the different classes
and 81 men and boys in the education
al clubs, making total of 359 in both
departments. The house committee
reported that it was making an inves-
tigation with regard to installing
swimming pool in the association.
1t being the last meeting of the fis-
cal year, nominating committee COM
posed of C.. H. Atherton, F. d. Low
rey and w. G. Hall was appointed for
the purpose of nominating five direct
crs and one trustee to hold office dur
ing the coming year. Glen G.. Jack
son, at present senior at Coe Col
lege, Iowa, was, upon the recommen-
dation of the boys work committee,
elected to succeed w. L. Johnson, at
present assistant physical director of
the association, who leaves his work
with the local institution in few
months. Mr. Jackson, upon his ar
rival here will have charge of the
work of the boys depart

PRESIDENT IS
INSISTENT ON
TARIFF CUTS
Message Talks of Avoiding De-
Struction but Emphasizes
Party Pledges

Copies OF President Wilson's mes
sage at the opening Of the extraordt-
nary session of congress, delivered on
April 3, were received by mail today
from Washington. The message deals
with revision of the tariff.
The message referred to no partic-
ular. schedule, mentioned no rates,
and included no statistics. 1t was an
enunciation of the presidents princi-
pies on tariff revision. His specific
views and ideas as to rates and duties,
it has been generally accepted, will be
contained in the tariff bill itself which
he is now considering In detail. The
presidents decision to put the weight
Of the administration influence be-
hind the bill with its serious schedules
drawn by the house ways and means
committee, caused him to omit specific
reference to tariff rates until the
measure was finally agreed upon IN
the opening days Of the present ses-
sion.
The message SAYS
70 ne SSn6te shd HouSe 6f
Representative
'T have called the congress together
in extraordinary session because q
duty was laid upon the. party now in
power at the recent elections which
1t ought to perform promptly, in order
that the burden carried by the
people under existing law may be
lightened as soon as possible and In
order, also, that the business inter-
.ests of the country may not be kept
too long in suspense as to what the
fiscal changes are to be which they
will be required to adjust themselves.
1t is clear to the whole country that
the tariff duties must be altered,
They must be changed to meet the
radical alteration in the conditions of
our economic life which the country
has witnessed within the last genera
tion. While the whole face and
method of our Industrial and COM
mercial life were being changed be-
yond recognition the tariff schedules
have remained what they were before
the change began, or have moved in
the direction they were given when
no large circumstance of our indus
trial development was what it is to-
day. Our task is to square them with
the actual facts The sooner that is
done the sooner we shall escape from
suffering from the facts and the
sooner our men of business will be
free to thrive by the laws Of nature
(the nature of free business) instead
of by the law of legislation and
artificial arrangement.
