Three Hundred Pound Blast De-
stroys Hulk of Bark Melancthon
Sunk in Pearl Harbor. ~vg
(From Wednesday Advertiser,

(From Wednesday Advertiser.), .
Final obsequies over the hulk Of the
bark Melancthon was. sounded yester,
day morning at eleven clock, when
the owner of the remains of the well
known vessel, c. II. Brown, pressed a
button that turned on an electric cur
rent igniting three hundred pounds of
dynamite that had been planted under
the hull where il lay as an obstruction
at WATERFOWL, Pearl Harbor.
The intonation, which was distinctly
heard In Honolulu, threw planks, spars,
chains, timbers, bolts and bars two
hundred feet in the air and with these
flying remnants Of the exploded hull,
tons Of Water were hurled 10 even a
greater height, The debris was seat
tered over an area as large as city
block Thousands of fish were killed
by the explosion. 1t was Witnessed by
several hundred persons Those in
charge considered ii fortunate that no
one waNinjlred by timbers that were
hurled through the air.
The Melancthon was 700-ton bark
used by the United States government
IN carrying rock and other material
from Honolulu to Pearl Harbor to- be
used in naval construction. About a
year ago, the vessel began leaking had.
ly and finally sank in shoal waIert at
the point where il took final leave yes
terday. 1t was purchased from the gov
eminent by Mr.. Brown, who exhausted
all means TO raise the vessel W thout
success. Being an obstruction in the.
harbor, the government recently mott,
fled Mr.. Brown that II must be removed.
Dynamite was the only recourse and
that was resorted to with complete sue.
cess yesterday. @"..' ':' .
The Melancthon has had varied his
tory, having seen service in the whal.
ing fleets years ago. More reccutly the
vessel belonged to Captain Miller OF

MAHUKA
SITE
JEFF Mccarn Invites Attorneys Of
Owners to Get Together to See
If Condemnation Awards Can
Not Be Scaled Down to Amount
of Appropriation in Sight
Must Do Something,
(From wednesday Adyertlser.l

(From Wednesday Adyertiser.)
United States District Attorney Jeif
McCarn has addressed letters to all the
attorneys representing the various par.
ties at interest in the Mahuka site CON
domination proceedings, requesting
conference at an early date. He stated
that while the appropriation is not suf-
6cient to pay all Of the Judgments, the
treasury department officials are anx.
ious to reach some final disposition Of
the matter at the earliest possible mo.
ment.
Mr.. McCarn said that he would like
to help get the question Of a site set.
tied so that the people here can get to-
gether and work for an appropriation
for government building, and that
while he did not know very much about
II he would be glad to help settle it.
Some Of the officials back In Wash
ington, he said, are Of the opinion that
the Judgments that have been rendered
are entirely too high. II that Is the
case, and he said that he had no per-
sohal knowledge in regard 70 the facts,
II would appear that IL the owners Of
the properties, the title Of which has
not yet passed TO the government would
get together and agree to Voluntarily
reduce the valuation Of their properties
so that the totals would fall within the
amount Of the appropriation it would
expedite the settlement.
He said that he realized fully what
il would mean to Honolulu TO have the
direction in which the city is TO grow
definitely fixed, as would be the ease as
soon as the entire area has been pur-
chased. "a
\ Additional appropriations for the
purchase Of the land alone would be
difficult to obtain, he thought, and TO
await additional site appropriations
would undoubtedly postpone the cree
tion Of government building for many
years.
Mr.. McCarn stated that he has no al.
rect instructions from Washington in
regard 70 the Mahnka site, but had an
idea that the government might aban-
don its efforts TO take over this partic<
ular property unless some compounds
could be arrived at. The question Of
the location of government building
Is one that does not concern him, he
said, and he is only interested in see
ing that the legal proceedings are
brought TO a satisfactory conclusion.

James 8, Mccandless Tells How
Los Angeles Has Aided in
Reducing Cost Of Living.

James S. McCandless in an interview
with The Advertiser yesterday, said
Los Angeles County, California, has
Just built 800 miles of paved roads, six.
teen to twenty-five feet wide, at cost
of six to ten thousand dollars per mile.
The county issued $3,500,000 bonds and
put the expenditure of the fund in the
hands of special road commission.
= The people down around Los An
geles, = said Sunny Jim, y SAY that
having good roads reduces the cost Of
living. Delivery Of merchandise over
the well.payed county roads by team
and auto-truck costs less than transpor,
tation by railway, with the double han.
ding that goods must receive to and
from the freight depots. Not only eau
farmers deliver produce to city con.
sumers at reduced cost, but there is a
saving of time and labor in handling. 4"
The Los Angeles County supervisors
are reported to have adopted plan
that will call for the construction of
one hundred miles of paved road every
year for ten years, he stated. "They
are doing it by levying one mill tax.
HGood roads are the greatest asset
we haven't got" he continued. 1.-THE
roads and streets can be put in good
condition and kept that way at cost
of not to exceed $4,000 per year, but
to do it we must get down to brass
lacks and demand lone hundred cents
worth of work for every dollar that is
spent Of the taxpayer money.
The Ad Club is going to see that
this white mans town has roads be.
fore and the other members of the
road committee get through with this
proposition. 81, tss3''0- ~ ..,'7'rz

Bankruptcy proceedings having been
brought in Philadelphia against the
Philadelphia Brcakwater Company
which has tho contract for the con.
struetion Of the breakwater at Hilo,
and receiver appointed, the latter
has requested United States Attorney
Jef Mccarn to represent the interests

When interviewed by The Advertiser
yesterday, Mr.. McCarn denied that
there has been any serious controversy
between himself and Frank f. Thomp-
SON the attorney representing the local
creditors Of the bankrupt concern and
also that so far as he was aware he
knew Of no reason why there should
be.
Agreed to Thompson's Request.
Thompson had stated that he would
like 20 have proceedings delayed until

initial procedure in the United States
District Court had been postponed I'M

/, This is n question that almost any
one who has read the Constitution be-
ieyes himself able TO answer OF hand.
IL was asked the other day. IN the
presence Of two or three leaders Of the
Hawaiian bar, and the various replies
made were all to the effect that a
person had to be born upon American
territory, either on American soil, on
an American ship or in an American
consulate or embassy, or give up al,
hope Of ever occupying the White
House as boss
M The General Opinion.
Continued questioning along this
line led to the discovery that the opin.
ion outlined above is the common opin.
ion. But it is a wrong opinion, never
theless. A person can be a atnatural
born citizen of the United States
without being born in the United
States or place over which floats the
Stars and Stripes. A person may
have been born in Timhuctoo or Der,
lin and still be eligible for the highest
place within the gift of the American
voters. A study Of the law, backed
up by some gleanings made by Federal
Judge Clemens, shows that male
child born in . foreign land may be.
come President, If he is very lucky and
|if his parents happen to be American
citizens temporarily in foreign land.

 MT. Lawson will assume the duties of the Darien passionate tomorrow but will probably be unab ble to move his household effects from Plainville un- til the latter part of next week.
 Expect Lively Meeting.
 General interest is taken in the an- nual meeting of the sanitary and sew CT district to be held in the Town hall Monday evening and it is expected that there will be large attendance. Although 1t is not expected that a vote authorizing the officers to make preparations to award contract for building the proposed sewer will be asked for at the meeting, no notice of such action being given in the call, there will be general discussion concerning the merits of the plans prepared by Engineer McKernan and approved by the district committee.
 Representatives of the firm of Met calf and Eddy, which has been en- gagged to examine the plans, will be at the meeting to give their opinion of the layout and to make whatever suggestions they consider advisable. Brief Items.
