HARRISON TALK
in 1878 HERE IS
RESURRECTED

Goyernor-general Harrison of the
Philippines turned loose some politi-
cal chickens which are coming home
to roost, 1t appears, when on Septem-
ber Is, 1913, he told Democrats in
Honolulu that it gave him a 'satur-
nine pleasure" to see the Republicans
getting, kicked out of Office, or words
to that effect.
A few days ago an Associated Press
despatch told about ex-President Taft
referring to this fling at the Republi-
cans. 1t is now developing that what
the governor.general said on his way
out to take Office at Manila is like
ly to be used against him, and not
only against him, but against the ad.
ministration.
What ex-President Taft said, and
other information here, leads to the
belief that the little speech the gov
ernor-general made to a group of his
local fellow-Democrats at the Young
hotel viii be used now for the pur.
pose of showing that he took a sat
urnine pleasure" also in discharging
Republican employees from the service
in the Philippines.
When the goyernor-general was
here on September 16, 1913, he made
two or three addresses. At recep-
tion in the throne room of the capitol
he made one; another at a University
Club luncheon and another to Demo
Gratis assembled in the afternoon at
the Young.
On the day following this afternoon
address, Mr.. Harrison was quoted as
follows:
Il have no policy in regard to the
Philippines, save that of the Demo.
cratic party. / am going there to
study conditions at first hand | feel
that years of experience in the party
qualify me to know Democratic prin.
ciples and to live up to them

DAUGHTERS OF
WARRIORS WILL
BE I'M PAGEANT
Society viii Be Reorganized,
Men Admitted, and Old Ha-
Waiian Customs Preserved

Members of the Daughters of the
Warriors who met Sunday at the
home of Mrs. Rosalie Blaisdell on
Beretania street took uD the question
Of entering into the Carnival pageant
and practically deaided 10 do so. The
subject viii be further discussed at 2
meeting next Sunday at the home of
Mrs Manuel Refs, Spencer street
near Magazine The meeting is set
for O'clock.
At the session the question of in.
cooperating and making the society,
one for both men and women will be
taken up. 1t has been proposed to.
reorganize the society along this line
and to make the primary object the
preservation of Hawaiian customs and
traditions, which the members say are
being corrupted because of lack of in
terest on the part of the natives.
If the Daughters OF the Warriors
take part in the Carnival pageant they
will take great pains to see that all
costumes and acts are in exact ac-
cordance with old Hawaiian custom
as it has been handed down to them
Under the proposed plan of reorgan-
ization all members will be required
as far as possible to trace their an.
cestry back to the warriors In the o,d
days before the haoles came, and rec.
ords will be kent of the ancestry of
members and the traditions of the
people as remembered by the older
H4waiians.

GEORGIAN SAID
TO BE IN Line
FOR JUDGESHIP

Another purported department of
justice secret slipped out today
when it was whispered around fed
eral court circles that another south
erner is to be sent to Honolulu to
be given responsible government po-
sition. The new man, declares the re-
port, will come from Georgia and will
succeed Hon. Sanford B. Dole as Sc
nior Judge of the local u. S. district
court Rumor has it that the depart
ment of justice does not intend to re-
appoint Judge Dole, but will retire
him on December 16, and probably
with a pension. ....~...,. =.~a..
The Georgian man of mystery" is
said to be totally unknown in Hawaii
and it is further reported that there
are but few federal officials here who
know his name and who were inform
ed of his coming. ..>@ ......-* III
Judging from the tenor of adVices
which have been received here from
Washington, D. c., and from the COM
ment Of Honolulans returning here
from the capital city, it seems possible
that Judge Dole may not be reap
pointed and that Horace W. Vaughan,
assistant district attorney, will sue
ceed him in case the purported Georgia
appointee does rot show up.
In case the Georgia man does come
it is likely that Vaughan will remain
in his present position. as indications
are that he will not be the successor
1of District Attorney Jeff McCarn, who
rendered his resignation more than a
month ago. ..... =
The choice of the department of
justice for the local district attorney
ship is believed to be Frank Pittman,
brother of Senator Key Pittman of
Nevada.

CHARGE AT BALAKLAVA
ECLlPSED BY DEED OF
AUSTRALIAN SOLDIERS

BY an Australian Official Eye Witness
THE DARDANELLES.-S fresh
details regarding the famous charge
of the Australian Light Horse Brigade
against the Turks on the, Mex, in
which the best part of three Austria
liam regiments participated and only
one man returned alive, have just
reached British headquarters through
a Turkish prisoner.
The prisoner was able to state posi-
lively, what many Australians who
witnessed the charge had suspected,
that during the attack the Turks lost
not single man.
They received special compliment
tary order from their general and sew
eral medals and good many promo
tions,
The Australians charge followed a
long period of bombardment- AS soon
as the bombardment stopped" said
the Turkish prisoner, "the English
(the Turks call all the British troops
whether home or colonial by the
name English) leaped over their para
pet and charged down upon US. They
came on very well. AS soon as they
appeared, every rife in the place open
ed upon them direct across the Mex,
and a machine gun with its cross fire
from the right swept them sheer off
the face of the earth. Three of them
managed to reach our trench and fell
dead over the parapet into the bottom
of it.
AS for the men of the Light Horse
Brigade-after three months in the
trenches, with many of them sick and
some of them weak, with every officer
and man at his appointed place, the
instant the word was given they leap
ed from their trench and rushed on
death-the first line may not have
known it was death-the third line
must have known it And they died.

"San Francisco shipping men do not

to shorten that estimate any,, said
James A. Kennedy, president and gen.
eral manager of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company, as he looked
across the harbor to the waterfront
this morning as the Matsonia was COM
ing up to her dock.
Mr.. Kennedy said that he learned In
San Francisco that as fast as the
earth is dredged away in Gaillard
(Culebra) cut. more is forced up by
the tremendous pressure of the hill
sides above, SO that the present rate
of progress is noteat all speedy.
While in San Francisco, Mr. Ken
nedy purchased for the Inter-Island
the steam. lumber boat Shoshone, for
use in carrying lumber and cattle be-
tween island ports and Honolulu. He
declined TO state the purchase price.
The Shoshone is of 646.03 gross and
341.74 net tonnage, built at Fairhaven,
CAL, in 1908. Her length Is 1855 feet,
breadth 3S and depth 1873.
"The Shoshone will not get here be-
fore two weeks or more" said Mr..
Kennedy, '.and we don't know just yet
what run wen put her on. We will
use her for carrying sugar and cat
tie"
Mr.. and Mrs. Kennedy returned to.
gether from San francisco. Mr.. Ken
nedy said there is no truth to the re-
port in San Francisco papers that he
was there trying to buy two colliers.
There is no use buying colliers at
this season Of the year." he said. "We
had intended to buy, but prices are
out Of sight now, so that it is out of
the question"
While in San Francisco, Mr.. and
Mrs. Kennedy saw Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
man E. Gedge frequently 1T depends
on the weather there whether Mr..
Gedge stays or returns soon, said Mr..
Kennedy. He is enjoying a complete
