WOrkmen at the central fire station are making changes which are neces- stated on account of the arrival of the new service truck which is ex- pected in a short time.

This part of the apparatus will be kept in the rear of the other apparatus. An arrangement is being planned by the chairman of the board of safety by which the new truck and chiefs car will be able to get away at once on the sound of a bell,

GOVERNORS PLEDGE SUPPORT FOR WILSON
Resolutions Of Confidence Sent to President by State Executives

Boston, Aug. 25.-Resolutions of President Wilson yesterday by gover- nors of nearly a score of states attend ing the annual conference of sover nors in this city.
 These resolutions were introduced by Governor Walsh of Massa chu setts:
 The governor of the several corn monwealths of the nation, in confer enCe assembled, desire to tender to you an expression of their confidence and support in this hour of deep in- ternatiOnal concern: and to assure you of their readiness to follow your leadership in all matters which you may deem best to promote the honor and maintain the peace and welfare of the nation and the whole people,"
 Sharp Division of Opinion.
 A sharp division of opinion mani fested itself at the conclusion of ad- dresses by Governors William H. Mann of Virginia, Robert l.. Will Hams of Oklahoma. and Moses Alex ander of Idaho, who urged the exten- sion of the powers of the governor, when former Governor Ava Adams of Colorado took advantage of the op- pOrtunity for discussion afforded by the program.
 You would have us drift away from democracy, to drift from the policies of Thomas Jefferson to those of Alex ander HamiltOn,' he stated. "It is an idea entirely contrary to our ideas of democracy. It is a power that be- longs to monarchy"
 Demand of People.

 At the suggestion of former Gov ernor Franklin Fort of New Jersey, who was presiding, Gov. James $. Fielder of New Jersey told of the operation of the short ballot in his state, and said that not only were the people satisfied with it, but they would be better pleased if it were shorter.
 Might Remove Temptation. During the afternoon Governor Robert l.. Williams of Oklahoma, one l of the speakers, urged that a law should be enacted making a governor ineligible during his term of office and for six months afterwards for can didacy for the United States senate or to congress or fOr state Ofica. SO that all temptations for him to u:, his of fec for political advancement might be removed.
 At the close of the discussion, Sec retary of the Navy Daniels invited the governors with their wives and daugh- ters, to board the drcadnought Wyom- ing today for a trip to Gloucester during which the North Atlantic fleet of two score ships will pass ill review before them.
 Gov. Walsh's WeIcomc
 In welcoming the governors con- ference, Governor Walsh said in part: 'MaSsa chusetts, mother of states has contributed her sons and daughters to the citizenship of every other com- mOnWealth, and in return has received some of the most valued elements of our citizenship. This gathering is therefore in a sense a home -cominy and there is in our WlecOme a per sOnal element of family affection.

Secretary Daniels came around from New London on the gunboat Dolphin. On the way up the harbor he stopped for two hours at the Fore River ship yard and inspected the battleship Nevada and two destroyers which are rapidly nearing com pletion there.
 The secretary said he had heard a rumor that several of the submarines had been shipped abroad, but he was able to satisfy himself by actual count that all were in the yard.
 Secretary Daniels has invited the governors with their wives and daugh- ters, to beard the dreadnaught Wyom- ing today for trip to Gloucester, during which the North Atlantic fleet of two score ships will pass in review before them.

CARRIES away
Officers Having Great Difficult
ty to Lift and Drag Sunken
Boat to Shallow Water

The carrying away of another line
on the sunken submarine "A this
morning caused another delay in
salvage operations. The cruiser Mary
land has a tow line to the two lifting
pohtoons, an easy strain being kept
up to hold THE ship in position and
keep the pofitoons in place, and an
other wire cable will be dragged I'm,
der the sunken boat to take the place
of the one that parted That. in brief,
is the sum total of today's opera.
tions.
While navy officers on the job feel
keenly these delays, they are by no
me ms discouraged, nor are they much
surprised. Obstacles were expected
all along and had the F-4 made smooth
progress shoreward as soon as lifting
and towing was started, conditions
would have been much too good to be
true.
The parting of these wire cables,
which have an enormous breaking
strain of almost 200 tons, can prob
ably be accounted for by the chatting
either on the submarine itself or on
the sea bottom. There is a vast diff
ference between a straight even lift,
with the strain equally distributed be-
tween four cables, and drag across
the sea bottom, where irregularities
md possibly coral ridges may exist
There is no telling what the condi-
ton of the bottom shoreward of the
submarine may be. The divers who
descended last week reported smooth
sand directly around the sunken boat,
but the formation may change only a
few feet away in any direction. 1t
is all a matter Of guesswork.
Good progress was made yesterday
until the first line parted, a lift Of
eight feet and shoreward progress of
60 to IS feet being the inside estimate
of the officers in charge. Great care
is being taken not to err on the side
Of optimism and it is possible that
the amount gained both vertically and
laterally is greater than this.
Admiral Moore. who is giving close
personal attention to the salvage
work, and who now spends a large
part of his time af1oat, is expected to
visit the barges this afternoon. The
commandant is kept informed of ev-
-ery move in operations, and divides
his time between Pearl HarbOr and
the local waterfront.

A memorial asking congress to pro-
vide for the widows and orphans Of
the 81 members of the submarine F-4
crew was presented in the house of
representatives today by Speaker H.
L. Holstein and was adopted on unani-
nous vote.
The concurrent resolution recites
that the United States government
has provided pensions for the widows
and orphans of those who fought in
the civil war and set forth that the
members Of the .F-4 daily took the
same chances, if not more chances,
than the soldiers of the civil war 1t
asks that congress provide pensions
or make appropriations for the bene-
fit of the widows and orphans of the
21 men. The resolution must be
concurred in by the senate, to whom
il has been referred.

Great excitement prevails among
Honolulu 'hinesc and Japanese today
as a result of the appearance OF the
cablegram that the final warning has
been issued by Japan.
The Nippu Jill takes the stand that
the cable could not possibly be true
as neither the Associated Press nor
the Jill correspondent in Toxic has
cabled such reports. The Jill thinks
that an uItimatum may he issued If
China ignores the last presentation
by Minister HiOki.
The Sun Chung KwOck Bo, Chinese
conservative paper, is Of the opinion
that the cable is true, and says edi-
tcrially:
War will be declared. Yuan Shih-
kai will not yield to the demands Of
Japan and will soon be ready to throw
out the demands entirely
When the war in Europe first
started Chinese statesmen forsaw
the pending trouble with Japan and
started to build up the army and
navy. They had to be patient in the
face Of the far-reaching demands
which would let Japan into the very
heart of the Chinese empire, but
have. strained every effort to prepare
China for a solid resistance.
The Chinese people have been
quietly pouring their money into the
military fund until now China is
ready to fight. The moment a .Japa-
nese force sets foot in Shantung it
will. be- met by Chinese army Of
patriotic soldiers ready to die FOR the
integrity of the republic"
The Liberty News, the Nationalist
Chinese publication Of Honolulu, is
skeptical Of the report that an ultima
tum had actually been sent to Pc
king. D. J. Wudan, former general
in the revolutionary army, now of the
Liberty News, declares an ultima
tum impossible at this time He feels,
however. that Chinese procrastination
has enabled China to become better
prepared in her fight for national ex-
istence
The Nationalist party will hold a
mass meeting in the Liberty theater
tomorrow night, beginning at 7:3O
o'clock. Wudan will be the princi-
pal speaker.
Il am going to hammer on two
main subjects" said Gne Nationalist
leader. Both hinge on Yuan Shih-
kai's decision in regard to the de-
mands. II he Yields to JaDan We will
have to take the welfare of China into
our own hands. II he rejects the de-
mands We will stand back of him to
the last ditch. We will Law aside all
party grievances and fight for a unit
ed China against the common
enemy"
