Cable From Shanghai Says
Rebel Forces Continue
to Press North

Especial Gable to Sun Chung KwCck
SHANGHAI, China, April 3.-Mili-
tary Governor Ghanwan of the prov
ince of Szechuen has telegraphed to
Peking that the forces of Yuan Shih-
Kai in the north have stopped figats
ing fer the TIME being owing to plans
to conciliate the north and the south.
The revelutionists, the telegram says,
continue to press forward day by day,
and they. now have interfered with
communication between Chunghing
and Shindo, important cities in the
Szechuen province. i
Nearly all of the districts and coun-
ties of the Human province, with the
exception of Tseungsha, have fallen
into the hands OF the southern troops,
opposing Yuan Shih-Kai. Cheung.
king in, commander of the Seventh Di-
vision, recently sent by Yuan into
Szechuen to oppose the progress of
the reyolutionists, has been killed in
action after meeting with defeats
which greatly diminished his troops.
Peace Plans Hopeless. .,:...a
Chasai-cheong, present minister of
internal affairs for the Yuan govern
ment, has telegra phed to various
provinces in the north saying that
plans for cancellation are hopeless. He
has requested that the governors of
all the provinces in Yuan's power take
steps 20 defend their territories and
not join the southern troops, or revo-
lutionists. ... ...... IT,
The commander of the government
troops in the Kwongtung province fed
to the sunboat Hoichan for protection
after he had been threatened by the
revolutionists. Half OF his troops
have surrendered to and joined the
Kungwo body of rebels, the other half
having fed in disorder Negotiations
are now being pressed whereby IL
day armistice may be agreed upon be-
tween the rebels and Yuan's troops.
After he had been advised to resign
from the presidential chair, Yuan
telegraphed to Peking and suggested
the drawing up of peace articles,
whereby the north and the south
would again be united. One Of these
messages went TO Hong You Wal, lead
er of the Tsun-pu Tang or Progress
siye party. II was largely through
his influence, it is reported, that the
present revolution in China was
brought about Many of his pupils
and fellow party men now are leading
the rebel troops against the armies OF
Yuan In some quarters it is predict
ed that he will be the next president
of China. .~..

CONVERT tunnel
RAILROAD INTO !.
HIGHWAY AMMAN

Capt A. Amman, the Hill liner
Great Northern's big commander,
turned explorer yesterday, and with
the help of Contracting Engineer Jor-
gen Jorgensen of the Waiahole Water
Project, discovered an ancient burial
cave in the hills back of Honolulu
Plantation in which were seven koa
wood coffins, each containing the
skeleton of a chieftain!
That cave could be made one OF
the biggest tourist attractions Of Ho-
nolulu," declares Capt. Amman today.
THE railroad leading up to the water
tunnel goes within a stones throw of
the cave. After it has served its pur-
pose as a railway, the right of way
could and should be converted into
boulevard Honolulu should not ne
glect this, as the trip to the cave, fol-
lowing the tunnel railway, has some
of the loyeliest scenery and sweetest
flowers l have ever seen. The view
and vegetation are wonderful"
Capt. Amman told Director A. P.
Taylor Of the Promotion Committee of
his visit to the cave, and said con-
certed enort should, be put forth to
make this region easily accessible to
tourists.

ASHFORD DENIES
MANDAMUS SUIT
BY GOLDWATER

Witnesses, testimony and appliances
brought into Judge G. W. Ashford )
court this morning gave the usually
quiet and sedate confines the appear
ance of young dental parlor, the case
on trial being the petition for writ
of mandamus by DR.. Manuel Gold
water against the dental examiners.
Goldwater's petition for a dental
license on the grounds that his ex-
animation had not been fairly graded
was dismissed by Judge Ashford
Two women, Mrs. Loughminer and
Mrs. Ochio, Japanese, we're brought
into the court and their teeth ex-
amined for work which DIR. Goldwater
had done upon them. DR.. H. Glenn
mems, another witness, went over DR..
Goldwater's examination papers and
gave what he considered were the
grades they deserved. He declared
the gold filling in Mrs. Ochio's mouth
to be worth practically IS per cent. on
the belief that there was not proper
prevention by extension IL.
Other phrases whose meaning in
general was unknown to the lay ear
entered into the discussion. These
included such terms as carries, micro
organisms and organic tissues
The question of who was bearing
the expenses of the case, asked by
Attorney l. NJ. Stainback of
Dr. Clemmens, was objected to hotly
by George Davis, attorney for DR.
Goldwater. IL
What difference does it make to
you who bears the expenses" cried
Davis as the question was put. who
paid for the Rapid Transit suit?"
Stainback intimated that he guessed
Davis had not paid much of it, Davis
maintaining that he had paid more
than Stainback. }<...... H..
Late in the case the petitioners
counsel moved to amend the petition
so as to make the case operate as
suit, to compel further examination on
the ground that the first examination
was not a proper one. The court
ruled against this petition, however.
There is talk of appealing the decision
to the supreme court or of raising
new case to provide for further exami-
nation. " H.. ...s
Members Of the examining board
were present this morning at the trial.

James Wesley Thompson, appointee
OF President Wilson as judge of the
third circuit court, island OF Hawaii,
is not to be confirmed without local
protest.
The Star Bulletin received cable
gram this morning bringing first def
mite news from Washington of the
fight to be made on the Wesley nomi-
nation. The cablegram is as follows:
"yVAsHINeToN, D. C, April A.
The nomination Of Thompson has been
suspended because Of cableeram re-
ceIved by the judiciary committee say
ina that protests against his confirma.
tion are en- route. These are expected
soon. Action 10 unlikely until the COM
plants are investigated.
&C. s. ALBERT"
That a number of protests are be-
ing made Is the information received
by the Star Bulletin. One of these
has already been forwarded, 1t is un-
derstood, by the Kohala Civic Associa-
ton, signed by fifteen members. The
Kohala folk, it is said, are basing
their protest both on the excellent
service given for many years by Judge
Matthewman of this circuit and also
on the allegation that Attorney Thomp.
son. Is. not capable OF satisfactorily -fl
ing the position to which he has been
appointed.
Other protests are stated to have
been sent forward. 1t is presumed
that the cablegram asking for delay
has been sent by representatives of
the Kohala association.
The Bar Association has taken no
action nor is action contemplated, so
far as could be learned today. Secre-
tary e. White Sutton said that the
executive committee held meeting a
few days after the nominations were
sent in to the senate by the president,
but that it was decided to take no &C
ton on the Thompson appointment.
Information from Washington Is
that the other judicial appointments
are all being passed upon favorably
and confirmation of. these should be
rapid.
II haven't the slightest idea as to-
what resident or residents of Homo
lulu have protested against my ap-
pointment as judge" Mr.. Thompson
said today, when informed of the con,
tents of the Star Bulletins cablegram.

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, February 29-(Special)-Al- exander c. Morgan, head of the firm of A. c. Morgan & Co.,, members of the New York Stock exchange, and inciden- tally a cousin of J. Pierpont Morgan, of whom you may have heard, told me yes- terday that he didn't believe anything could stop the progress of Birmingham this side of an earthquake, or unpardon- able politics.
 In his office at % Broad street, within sound of the vocal din from the curb brokers far below, had he been left to his train of thought and his ticker. he might not have thought of the Magic City just then, but-I asked him and I knew he had been there.
 "Why?" he continued, guided by an- other query, Well, when I visited there I was impressed by the fact that progress was in the harness and, what is perhaps equally as important, was being guided and steaded by the calm hand of Poise. There seemed to be realization of the fact that youth cannot at once acquire all things that go with maturity-a mis- take so often made by other youthful municipalities doubt if it is good to be the greatest in anything. To strive to be is always commendable and right, but with the object achieved there comes relaxation which is sometimes danger ously close to retrogression. New York is the greatest city in the world, and as a result there is seen here and there tendency to rest upon laurels won, rather than to strive harder than ever for new laurels.
 When Birmingham failed to popularize grand opera sometime ago, it was de- plored, I remember. It should not have been. She was not ready at that time. An, young men and young cities-you don't realize your wonderful possibilities in these most wonderful of all times. It seemed to me that all of Jones valley

 Since I was there. have watched the progress of Birmingham, and I feel sure
 it is destined to be leader of southern municipalities. Yes, I could offer sev- eral different criticisms, but since I am not there to make such criticisms con- structive, I shall not offer one. But the fact that there is something to do-some- thing to build-something to inspire thought and effort-to put spur to tagging energy-is the reason why I envy the younger geehration of that city,
 And all that from a Wall street man named Morgan. But Mir. Morgan, as might have been guessed, is not only 8 Wall street man; he is president of the Artists Fund society here, and is him. self capable artist and a traveller, who knows America thoroughly, and knew what g. number of the foreign countries looked like before they were punched so full of holes by heavy artillery.

FEW SHIPS AFFECTED

New York. February 29.-Only a small
 proportion of the shipping plying between
 American and Europeon ports-a fleet of
 armed Italian merchantmen-appears to
 be menaced by the new Teutonic subma-
 rine policy which goes into effect at mid-
 night.
 British and French ships that have ar-
 rived here and at other Atlantic ports
 during the past year have carried no
 guns. Seven Italian ships with naval
 guns mounted on their after decks and
 manned by trained crews from the Italian
 navy have been plying between New York and Mediterranean ports since the first of the year, and one similarly armed put in at Port Arthur, Tex.
 Five other Italian liners in the New York trade are understod to have been York trade are understod to be placed on their next arrival at home ports. Of the latter the San Giovanni sailed at noon to- day for Naples and Genoa. The steamship Giuseppe Verdi. the first Italian liner to arrive here thus armed is due to leave port tomorrow this being her second trip as an armed vessel Her agents had not ascertained today the number of passengers she will carry, but believed that the number would not be large, the majority being third-class The steamships San Guglielmo and Ma poll, also armed, are due to sail with freight for the Mediterranean on March f.
