PENNSYLVANIA
MAY BE FIRST
THROUGH CANAL
American Hawaiian Vessel
Sails From Hilo For Balboa
on instructions to Captain
Especial star-BulletiD cy,rrespondenceI

Especial tar-Bulletip CJrrespondence1
HILO. July 24.-After "a hours de-
lay at this port awaiting sailing or
ders, the American-Hawaiian steam
ship Pennsylvania, Capt Joseph
Nichols, was instructed yesterday. al
ternoon to proceed at once to Balboa,
Panama. It Is believed the Pennsyl'
vanian is to go through the Panama
canal, and IL so she may be the first
vessel to make that passage from the
Pacific to the Atlantic sidean. his
toric honor.
If the news of the big ditch's open-
ing, given out unofficially at Washing
ton, Is based on fact the Pennsylvania
undoubtedly will go through and I'm all
likelihood will be the first vessel from
the Pacific unless another steamer
from San Francisco beats her to it.
Here is the chance for an interesting
race between some ship from the coast
and the Pennsylvania from Hilo to
reach the canal aud receive the dis
f;neticn of making the first trip
fhnfIEh While the statement Is not
made definitely by T. H. Davies &
Ecmpsny that the vessel Is TO proceed
by that route, nevertheless 1t is re.
garded as certain she will do so un.
less the waterway is not vet open for
commerce when she reaches Balboa.
The Pennsylvania comnleted her
sugar cargo at this port Wednesday
and was to have sailed at once for the
straits of Magellan. At the last mo
ment captain Nichols received orders
delaying sailing "a hours and to await
further instructions. This order was
renewed again yesterday morning, but
the sailing instructions arrived in the
afternoon and before nightfall the big
steamship was on her way east She
carries a capacity load, though it is
not as much sugar by several hun
dred tons as she could have taken had
the news of the canals opening been
received before she left Honolulu.
Much space that might have been
given to sugar is taken, by fuel which
she would have required for the long
run through the straits.
Whether the Pennsylvania will be
actually tht first to traverse the big
ditch from Pacific to Atlantic, she at
least will have the distinction of ia.
king through the first Hawaiian sugar
by ship. Some sugar has gone across
on barges but none as yet on the yes.
sells receiving cargo at the islands.

IS COHEN OFFER
SUFFICIENT TO
D|SQUALIFY HIM?
That's the Question Asked in
Political Circles as Result of
Proposal to Waive Salary

Has Joel c. Cohen endangered his
legal qualification to run for mayor
of Honolulu? ::s ->-E
That is the question asked today
following the publication in yester-
days Star-Bulletin of Cohen's signed
offer to give part of his salary to a
private secretary and the rest to
charity, and the simultaneous pub
lication of an attorneys declaration
that election to an Office through the
waving of any part or the whole Of
the salary is illegal, voids the elec.
ton and constitutes bribery on the
part of the candidate
Mr.. Cohen's offer was made as fol-
lows: :.... . -
81 will take from my salary enough
to add to the salary of the mayors
secretary so as to insure the selec-
ton of a competent man for the po.
sition and the balance of my salary
/ will give to the Leahi Home and
other worthy charities and do this
without any ifs, ands or butts in ref
erence to the board Of supervisors or
any other public official" r.. -
Now the question is asked in poll.
tical circles: Hasn't Cohen disquali.
fed himself by making this offer?"

GRAFT PROBERS'
REPORT DELAYED
TILL next week
viii Then Be Submitted to
Governor - Legislative
Bills Drafted Later

II will be about a week before the
formal report of the Hawaii county
graft commission is presented TO the
governor.
The commission has been sitting In
Honolulu this week and hoped to fin
ish its work this afternoon but is un.
able to do so. Chairman H. B. Elliot,
departing for his Hilo home today, is
taking hack some data on which to
base recommendations and will whip
this last bit of work into shape in
time to send II back completed to Hon
olulu next Saturday.
Commissioner Williamson said to-
day that the original plan of the com
mission to accompany the report with
complete drafts of bills, ready for pre-
sentation to the legislature. has been
changed. These bills are designed to
carry out the recommendation of the
commission, the most important of
which, IL is expected, will be the urg.
ing of an independent auditing sys
tenn for the territory. a sort of bureau
of accounts
In discussing these bills the COM
missioners have come to the conclu-
sion that they can get better results
IL they have as many suggestions and
comments as possible from business
men and others interested in the inn
proyement Of public accounting These
suggestions and comments will be
evoked, it is apparent, after the report
of the commission has been presented
to the governor and published in the
newspapers of the territory. The com
mission has therefore decided not to
draft the bills until about the first OF
next year. which will be in ample time
to present to the legislature meeting
in February.
