stration He declared that the great
safeguard Of a nation was its reputa-
tino for character and manliness and
courage and that with such reputation
gone it was almost certain TO be so
imposed upon by foreign aggressors
as to make war unacceptable.
Roosevelt Answers Lane.
The Secretary of me Idterior Mr..
Lane. who was quoted by Col. Roose-
welt in his Battle Creek speech as
having said that the understanding
policy had been a failure, recently
sent a public letter to Mr.. Roosevelt
Directing to the use of his remarks
and asserting that the Chief Justice
of the United States regarded the
understanding" as a great diplomatic
triumph. Col. Roosevelt has answer
ed Secretary Lane in a letter which
will afford Mr.. Wilson's supporters
little comfort. Mr. Roosevelt points
out that the opinion credited to the
Chief Jusice was expressed long be-
fore that eminent iurist had had an
opportunity to Judge of the note-fol-
lowing policy. The fact is that Chief
Justice White. Louisianian and life
long Democrat as he is, holds this
administration in supreme contempt
which only the restrictions OF the
ermine prevent him from expressing
in terms as forcible as some OF MS
own decisions in the Supreme Court.
Were he free to express himself. his
words would be even more embar-
RAISING to Mr.. Lane and his idol than
Col. Roosevelt's communication.
Wilson and Hughes.
In an appeal 10 young voters VINO
called on him at his summer home,
President Wilson uttered the follow
ing casuistry: IF they are going to
change our foreign policy, in what
direction arc they going to change
It? There IS only one choice as
against peace. and that is war Mr..
Wilson has on occasion given evil
dence Of too much intelligence to per-
nit anyone to believe his statement
sincere. The pretended logic of his
remark cannot but be regarded as a
further manifestation of that intel
lecttial dishonesty" with which ex-
President Cleveland charged him. To
Mr.. wilson SOpnlhtTy bON. hughes
has replied, and his words are worthy
the thoughtful consideration of every
voter. Said Mr. Hughes, THE alter
native OF a weak and vacillating
policy is not war; IL is a Arm in
sistence upon firm rights in a world
where all nations desire our friend
ship. and we desire the friendship Of
all. and where only the most mex
cusable blunder could drag as into

rage following a quarrel at the house

Corner, some time late Saturday
night or early Sunday morning.
The headless body of the woman

morning. The police we're immedi-
ately notified and Captain Kane, who

der. Another colored man, Thomas
Lombard, a tenant on the farm Of

The story of the shooting as told by
Henry Miller. colored. and his wife
and his daughter. who live on the
Townsend farm. and with whom Stew
art and the Washington woman we're
staying, is as follows:
The Millers had come to Whining
ton Saturday night to spend the night.
The Washington woman left the house
before the Millers. When they re-
turned to the house on Sunday, about
IL o'clock, they found the kitchen
showing signs OF a terrible struggle
and the body Of the murdered girl
partly reclining on a chair in one cor
ner Of the room with her head shot
off. A double-barreled shotgun. be-
longing to Miller, with empty shells
in both barrels. and a small penkntfe
with the blade bloody and broken lay
on the floor.
met Stewart and Lombard in the city
Saturday night and went to LON
hard s house on the Clair farm. All
are said to have been drinking. The
three then went to the Townsend
farm and il is supposed there was
fight over the girl. Stewart is said TO
have been jealous of attentions shown
the woman by Lombard. In the night
Lombard is said to have cut Stewart
over the eye with the pen knife. HaV'
Ing driven Lombard away, Stewart Is
alleged to have gone back to the
house, placed the muzzle OF the gun
against the woman's head and shot
her head of.
Stewart apparently made no e1ort
to escape. but wandered about for
part of the night When arrested he
was drunk and did no appear TO real

RESERVOIR AND
filter WORK SLOW

Contractors for the new reservoir at
Eighth and Rodney streets, and the new
filter plant at Sixteenth and Walnut
streets, are making slow progress in
the work, the weekly report of Elmer G.
Manahan, resident engineer, TO the
water commissioners at their meeting
this morning, showed. About 200 cubic
Yards Of concrete have been laid in the
litter plant, while at the reservoir the
same amount of concrete has been laid.
In the latter project the steel re-en-
forcement is little ahead of the concrete
work, and some delay is expected in the
building of IT, basin.
In the reservoir much stone has
been struck. but during the past week
less was encountered. Labor is hard
to secure.
So dissatisfied are the commission
ers with the hardness OF the Roberts
Filter Manufacturing in the building
OF the filter plant that resolution
authorizing Edgar NJ. Hopes, chief
engineer, to investigate and order the
contractors to direct their energies
along certain lines with more vigor,
especially on the filters and water
main, was adopted.
It was decided to give the meter
readers and inspectors Of the water
department an allowance of $40
year. $50 to be received by them in
April and 500 in October. for the
maintenance Of their uniforms, pro-

viding they will keep their uniforms
in the best possible condition. The
matter of selecting the uniforms was
left to Chief Engineer Hopes.
Because of their fund RAPIDLY
dwindling and as their quarterly ap.
preparation is not due until the mid.
die OF November the department de-
cided to ask City Council for $4,000
of their appropriation.
During the past week 95.55O.S2 gal
Ions OF water were pumped. which is
an increase Of 1921 .4SO gallons over
the pumpage for the corresponding
week Of last year.

SAILING HOUR OF

: IS CHANGED

Effective with the sailing of the
Manoa Tuesday for San Francisco, the
Matson steamers Manoa and LurliRe
will leave Honolulu for the mainland
at noon Tuesdays instead of O'Clock
in the afternoon OF that day. the pres
ent time OF departure.
Castle l. Cookies shipping depart
ment this morning confirmed a ru.
NOR around the waterfront to the eff
feet that such change is contemplate
ed The reason for the earlier sailing
hour is to enable the steamers to ar
rive at San Francisco half a day soon
er than at present, which will permit
passengers and freight TO be landed
much more advantageously.
The Manoa will leave this port for
Kahului at 5 O'Clock tomorrow after
noon, returning Sunday morning. She
will sail at noon Tuesday for San
Francisco, and after that date the MIA
not and Lurline will steam away at
the noon hour Tuesdays instead OF /
o'clock in the afternoon. .
The chief reason for advancing the
sailing time from this port Of both
boats is that the steamers are now
going out with capacity cargoes,
which means that any rough weather
encountered on the voyage over
makes them hours late.
Owing to bad weather the Lurline
did not arrive at San Francisco until
noon Wednesday this week, taking
eight days to make the run over. She
should have reached the coast Tues
day. -ss.
Arriving late at the coast makes it
impossible for the steamers TO receive
pratique before dark Tuesday. BY
sailing from here earlier they will be
able to dock Tuesday afternoon, de-
spite delay from bad weather
