Pearl Harbor drydock construction
on the new plan and with an increase
in cost of $1,500,000, was secured in
the senate only after a vigorous de-
bate on the floor, in which Senator
James K. Vardaman of Mississippi
strongly questioned the wisdom of
raising the cost limit to 1885, 500.
The debate, which brought out many
important facts concerning the dry
dock and recent developments hither-
TO unknown in Hawaii, is fully report
ed in the Congressional Record of May
%. The discussion came up on the
report of the committee on naval af-
fairs with the Pearl Harbor amend
ment. The Congressional Record thus
reports the debate:
The limit of cost of the dry dock at
the naval station. Pearl Harbor, Ha-
waii, is hereby increased to 1895
500.
Mr.. Vardaman. Mr.. President. l
should like to ask the acting chair
man of the committee or the senator
In charge of the bill to explain this
item. understand that no estimate
has been made for this amount.
Mr.. Thornton. Yes: il has.
Mr., Vardaman. What is the esti-
mate?"
Mr.. Thornton. Just what is provid-
ed for here. l will read it to the
senator will say to the senator
that l also have here a letter, which
/ will read.
Mr.. Kenyon. l should like to in
uuire whether the senator is asking
3 sto Key West or as to Hawaii?
Mr.. Vardaman. Pearl Harbor, Ha-
wall, on page &c, line Is.
Mr.. Kenyon. Is theer any estimate
a. to Key West? observe that the
amendment relating to Key West has
gone by without any explanation.

The POINT INVOLVED

The movement to secure "citizen-labor" clause
all federal work in Hawaii should not be undertaken
without mature and broad consideration of
all the points involved And prominent among these
points is the fact that international question of
extreme delicacy is likely to be raised. Is Hawaii,
the country that invited Japanese immigration, in
position meet that question? Will private bust
ness do that which Uncle Sam is being asked to do?
Star Bulletin.
Our friend up the street is quite mistaken In
way international question be raised through
the restriction of awards in government contracts
citizens Legislation restricting awards of contracts
other than for government work could raise such
question but there is nothing in international law
treaty to prevent Uncle Sam from deciding with
whom he shall deal On the other hand, there is
press provision whereby the secretary of may,
should he fit, limit employment federal gov
eminent work, contract otherwise to citizens.
There is in this question involved regarding what
private business may or may not do, and no such
question needs to be raised-Advertser.
The Advertiser has evidently misunderstood
Ihe suggestion Of this paper. The Star-Bulleti1
lid not and does not refer to question of in
ternationaI law. Whether reached by way of al
order from the secretary of war or by way o.
congressional legislation, the practical result tt

as to that. 1t seems to be quite a
substantial sum, 100000, though, of

it had been previously recommended

CLEARING THE 'fISHMLRKET zOEt" OF SALOONS

r. In response to the unmistakabIe demand of
the people of Honolulu, the board of license
commissioners yesterday decided to clear the
'fishmarket zone Of saloons The saloons now
in the district will be given until January l,
1915, to find other locations or go out of bus
mess.
3 The action of the board yesterday is wise and
progressive; it is evidence of the steady advance
made against the liquor evil in Honolulu. Even
the representatives of applicants for licenses. by
their attitude before the board yesterday tacitly
admitted recognition of the fact that the saloon
is an evil to the community
4 good deal has been said on the attitude of
the military authorities in regard to the LeiIe
hua Beer Garden. Their attitude is shown to
be in favor of definite restrictions against whole.
sale distribution even of beer among the SOL
diers. They do not wish beer to be sold in bottle
form, so that it can be taken off the premises.
If the board should decide to let the Leiehua
resort continue business, certainly the stand
taken by the military authorities should guide
the commissioners in granting privileges to the
licensee.
