A Riuer Ford Has
Caught WaHabies
Lost byR. H. Trent
So Declares Letter Received
Today BY DiSConSolate
Owner of MarSupialS

Richard II. Trent, whose wallabies
from far Australia fled into the noun
tains and created a new kona weather
topic OF conversation for all Honolulu,
today received the following self-ex.
rlanatory letter:
Mr.. Richard H. Trent, Ex-Treasurer
and Ex-WaIlaby Owner.
Dear Sir: Pursuant TO your urgent
request that / hit the trail of the
nimble wallaby and with my keen
nose pick up the scent of their fleeing
footprints, beg to report that shortly
after your engaged me / rubbed by
rose against the broken wire netting
of their pen and after two shifts and
ere taste I headed for the mountains,
following the ridge that runs back
from your zoo. found it very hard
to keep on the trail of your pets as it
had rained since they passed, but on
account of my great experience with
wallabies when in Australia and also
to the fact that make a noise like q
wallaby most of the time, finally
succeeded in locating them at the foot
of a very step ledge far back in the
mountains. Using my usual per-
suasiye tactics, finally induced them
to follow me down into a valley and
got them to small dairy farm, where
had two men hold them in a position
so that could photograph them
81 now enclose the photo took in
order to convince you that / have been
successful in capturing your wallabies
and will now ask that you send me 9
check for $50, as / understand you
offered a reward of s25 each for them
If captured alive. This is little
enough, assure you, for I wore all
the skin off my nose picking up, scents
with it from the rough, muddy trails,
and also wore the seat off perfectly
good pair of pants sliding down with |
them into the valley. 4. !
Awaiting receipt of your check.
when will at once turn the blooming |
casts over to you,
81 remain, yours truly,

II. CANDLES
Will BE IN RACE
FORCAPiTOL JOB
Announces Candidacy for Dele
gateship Through Columns
=. of Hawaiian Paper

Lincoln L. ('Link"l McCandless.
/ Democratic war-horse and leader OF
| the so-called McCandless-Wilso fac
ton Of the local Bourbon party, once
more has girded on his political ar
NOR and will enter the coming cam
paign as candidate for delegate to
/ Congress.
The announcement of his candidacy,
coming rather late. is made by Nc
Candless in the Aloha Alma, Hawai-
ian newspaper published in Pauahi
street, the edition containing the an
nouncement having been printed
Thursday afternoon A three-column
headline shouts the news to the read
ers of the weekly newspaper. 49,. Il.
McCandless makes his announce
aent in the form of signed state
ment. He says that his being a can
didate. this year is due largely TO the
urgent request of Democratic pre-
cincts ia all parts of the territory. He
asks that the voters support him in
the nomination and at the general
election, adding that he will stand by
the local Democratic platform and up
hold all OF the planks therein. a
IF all the people support the Dem
ocratic platform they may be assured
that there will be good government in
the territory of Hawaii" says the
statement, according to the transla-
tion of J. Uluihi, editor of Aloha Alma.
McCandless also says that he has
changed his mind and has decided
to run" This might infer that; for q
time, the Bourbon leader had not in
tended to enter the race this year.
In conclusion he urges that the Dem
ocratic voters support those persons
who will be nominated by the Bour-
bons for seats in the upper and low
er houses of the legislature. ...f
If all these things are DONE. he
says, then the Democrats are surefo
win %
McCandless told the Star-Bulletin
on Thursday that he was in "recep-
tive mood and that he was seriously
considering being candidate for the
delegateship. About the time he made
these statements his message to the
Democratic voters, as published ip
the Aloha Alma, probably was being |
set into type.
Whether Prince Jonah Kuhio Ka' |
Ianianaole will be candidate for the |
delegateship on the Republican ticket |
this year has not been definitely an
nounced. but he is fully expected to |
run. Il

HOLD BERETANIA
Street PROJECT
ISPLAN NOW
MccandIess Says Supreme
Court Decision Win Have No
Effect on Movement

Although the supreme court has up
held the validity OF the frontage tax
law so far as il relates TO proposed
road work in Manoa Valley, Lincoln
L. (.'Link''D McCandless declares that
there will be no let-up in the move
ment 70 secure signers to petition
protesting against the application OF
this statute TO contemplated road i'm
proyements on Beretanfa street.
As announced in the Star-Bullctin
Thursday, p. l.. Weaver. attorney for
McCandless, is endeayoring to secure
the signatures of at least So per cent
OF the property owners on that por-
ton OF the street intended to be i'm
proved. These signatures are affixed
TO a protest contending that the i'm
provement work should not be done
under the frontage tax law, but that
the money should come out Of the
general taxes. 49,. -
THE finding of the supreme court
with regard to the proposed Manoa
improvements will have no effect Oh
our plans" McCandless says. "The
fact that the supreme court holds that
a bond issuance would be valid does
not make any change in the laws per.
tanning to the rights of the people to
reject a proposal of the board of sup
ervisors to make improvements on any
one street under the frontage tax law.
The supreme court ruling does not
deny citizens the right to protest
against the carrying-ort OF the front
fage tax law in districts to which il
applies.
Take Beretania street from Nuu
anu to King as an example. IL So per
cent of the frontage objects to the
earrying-on of the improvements. then
the supervisors cannot carry it on.
II a majority of the people approve,
then the bonds come in and the super
yisors can put the matter through.
In the personal opinion of McCand.
less, the general taxpayers should pay
for the improvements on Beretania
street
'sWhy should the owners pay any
more than anyone else?" he asks. "Ho-
tel street is being repaired and the
frontage tax law is not being ap-
piled. .
- tlA9 i've Per scSul Oh luS- lIOutdSS

did 1t before and they are going to !
do it again." he says. when the !
hearing is held the people will pro.

We pay taxes, goodly amount, and |
We are getting nothing for it. The |
question is, what do we pay taxes for |
IL we do not expect to get something |

McCapdless adds that if the super
visors will pay for the proposed i'm |
provements out of the general tax,
there viii be no protest by the prop
erty owners.

Milwaukee.-Four persons were seri-
ously injured and score of others
badly bruised and shaken when a Chi
cagobound Northwestern road passen-
ger locomotive ploughed halfway

PRACTICE RIGHT RESTORED
Gov. Philip Issues Executive Order in
Case of Doctor A. r. Law
of Madison

Madson.-Gov Philip has entered
an executive order directing the resto-
ration to DR.. A. r. Law of Madison the
right TO practice medicine in Wiscon-
sin.
This action of the executive was
taken upon the urgent request of a
large number of prominent people of
Madison and vicinity, among whom a
number of practicing physicians were
petitioners
DR.. Law was deprived of the right to
practice his profession by a judgment
of the Circuit court of Dane county,
Judge +. Ray Stevens sitting, upon
his conviction of the crime of mar
slaughter in producing a death by an
illegal operation.
Upon that conviction DR.. Law was
sentenced TO serve eight years in the
state prison Later, upon petition Of
hundreds Of citizens of Madison and
other cities, Gov McGovern committed
his sentence and later DR.. Law was
paroled.
On June 10 last Gov Philip grant
ed pardon to restore the doctor to
citizenship At that time the governor
was urged to restore to him the right
to practice but did not do so.
Following that, however, petitions
were renewed and it was urged and
believed by many that the order of
restoration to citizenship in effect re-
voked the order of the court denying
the right TO practice.

GOVERNMENT LAND
STILL IN DEMAND.
v. s. OFFICE AT WAUSAU PLACES
MANY SETTLERS ON
VIRGIN SOIL.
MANY INQUIRIES RECEIVED
Majority Of Homeseekers Are Foreign
ers Without Money-About 5000
Acres Of Land Still Open
to Entry.

Wausau.-Interest in government
lands in Wisconsin is still keen, and
the United States land office at the
federal building in Wausau Is receiv-
ing many inquiries from prospective
settlers for northern Wisconsin
During the last year the federal
land Office at Wausau answered ap-
proximately $500 queries regarding
government lands" said Kurt A. Bey-
ries, the officer in charge. 1--WE have
not counted the number of answers
written, but we had literature prepar-
ed for that number, and 1t is now near
ly used up. A large number of these
queries were from homeseekers eager
to secure a piece of land to develop
into productive farm"
About 5000 acres of land are still
open to entry. Practically all of that
land can be used for agricultural pur-
poses. On some there is timber. The
swamp lands were taken up by the
state a number of years ago. Almost
all of the land open to entry is located
in northern Wisconsin. A large ma
jority of the homeseekers are foreign
ers virtually without money, who are
willing to become pioneers.
There areAnow about 1000 home
steaders whc are still living out their
tenure of service on their lands to Sc
cure a complete title to the land.
These are now coming in at intervals
to make their reports. In 1915 149
homesteads were given out.
