assured something will be done to-

Charges of party treason are being
hurled with nightly frequency and bit

with Sheriff Jarrett, Fern being on
the so-called Pinkham ticket for the
St Louis delegation and Jarrett run

on the "Pinkhan ticket
The charge made by Fern that the
McCandless wing would sell out its
delegation to get back at the governor
is vigorously resented and denied by
the McCandiess people:
Territorial Chairman Pacheco, iden-
titled with this faction, said today
that Ferns charge is nonsense.
The convention will be for Presi-

nothing to that" he asserts. I'VE
would be foolish to start any fight in
our little camp against Wilson or try

HILOITES AIM
OPPOSITION At
R. v. BRECkONS
Republicans of Delegation Say
They Want Man Raised
In Islands

Robert w. Breckons for the next
national committeeman OF the Repub-
lican party is opposed by at least
some Of the delegation from the hilo
district
This was made plain by John T.
Moir. one of the leaders ofEhe Big
Islanders. in statement TO the Star
Bulletin at the dock just before he
left on the Mauna Kea for HilO to-
day.
l. have nothing personal against
Bob Breckons. Moir declared, and
none Of MY fellow delegates are op-
posed 10 him personally. so far rs
knew, but We do not favor him for
national committeeman.
MOir gives as his reasons for this
opposition the feeling among the Hilo-
ties that the national committeeman
should be a man who has been raised
in the islands-one who has been
rocked in the cradle of island beliefs
and schooled in island lore. so to
speak.
Il do not feel" says Moir. that
Breckons is, such a man. He is
man from the states
Picks No FaVorite.
Moir would not pick man as his
favorite for the position of national
committeeman II declared that he
has no special choice, save that the
candidate shall be an island man.
Henry J. Lyman, delegate chosen
on Monday to accompany Prince Ku-
hiO to the Chicago convention, denies
emphatically today taht he is pledged
to support BreckOns for national COM
mitteeman.
Il am pledged to support no one"
Lyman declares, and least of all
Robert Breckons. | shall not recon-
mend Breckons for the position.
Lyman declined to discuss why he
is opposed to Breckons, but remarked
that the national committeeman ought
to be one not in any special circle of
favoritism. When pressed for the
reasons of his opposition to Breckons,
he referred the questiOner to Moir.
You tell him, John, why we are
opposed to Breckons, he said.
And John" told.
Lyman is still a Staunch Roosevelt
man and a firm believer in Roose-
yelt's policies, but he will not go to
Chicago determined to vote for Roose-
welt and for no one else. He will
wait and see what may come.
Lyman Not Pledged. .-s,
If find taht Roosevelt is showing
up strong will vote for him at the
convention" Lyman declared, but
so far am not pledged to vote for
any certain man. =. "a. j., ,e ..a
The delegate also mentioned the.
name, of Associate, Justice Charles Ea
Hughes, remarking that his viii be.
one of the prominent names at the
convention. as will also that of ElihuI
Root.
However" says Lyman. Il am too
far away from the mainland to make
any prediction as to who will be the
final choice of the convention
Many delegates from Hawaii left
this morning, on the Mauna Kea, and
they did not keep their happiness a
secret As II. L. Holstein, veteran
party man, remarked as the steamer
was pulling out:
I'VE ought to feel good, we cleaned
up the other fellows" 2H
Delegate Lyman will be back to the
city in about three weeks. He re-
marked that he hoped the party would
be settled down to a choice for its
national committeeman by that time.

FAKE AID BILL ENDORSED

The movement for a Shameless Sunday

terday when the Senate District Com
mittee reported favorably the Works bill
prohibiting barber shops from operating
on Sunday. The man who let's the
stubble go until the Sabbath will have
to buy a razor for Sunday use or under

TO FACE CONSPIRACY
CHARGES In NEW YORK
U. S. Commissioner Allows Extradition
of Fowler, Schulteis and Martin,
Accused of Fomenting Strikes.

Former Congressman II. Robert Fow-
Ter. of Illinois, Herman B. Schulteis and
Henry B. Martin, of Washington, were
held for extradition to New York here
yesterday by United States Commits
sioner A. S. Taylor on an indictment re-
turned in New York against them and
Congressman Frank Buchanan charging
them with conspiracy in fomenting
strikes in munitions factories, but re-
sisted by applying for writs of habeas
corpus. Justice Gould of the District
Supreme Court announced that on March
ne would hear argument on the appli-
cations.
The accused men are fighting extra
dition on the ground that the indict-
ments returned against them in Deem
Der do not charge a crime and that the
Sherman antitrust law, upon which the
indictments are based, Is not applicable
to such an offense as they are accused
of committing. Commissioner Taylor,
who has had the case under considera-
ton since the preliminary hearing six
weeks ago held in his decision today
that the indictment contained clear def
mite, and distinct charges. He also held
that there was probable cause for the
extradition for trial next Tuesday.

GIRL LEPER YEARNS
 FOR ISLAND HOME

SECAUCUS, N. J. Feb.15.-The piteous Asiatic cry, "Unclean! Un- clean" may echo over the ocean, when at dusk, Magdelena Mclean, leper, is released to take stroll alone.
 Isolated in the Hudson County Hos pital for Contagious Diseases here this seventeen-year-o West Indian girl is steeling herself for a life every day of which, physicians say must be passed in seclusion.
 Leprosy marked the girl when as a child she played on Barbadoes Island. Soon after her parents moved to Jersey City, several years ago, rash appeared upon her body, but not until she was taken to the Skin and Cancer Hospital of New York, three years ago was her dis ease diagnosed as leprosy. The au- thorities decided to move her to an isolated ward in the institution here. Not till then was the girl told she was leper.
 Seventeen years old now and made more serious and mature than girls of her age by years of seclusion with her books, there is still the In- dian beauty about her, altho her face is pa rtly disfigured and her hands spotted.
 "My only worry" she said, lis about my people. They must have known all along that 1 was leper, for they have always been sad about me, mamma especially. When they took me away, even papa cried. When l was first shut up in my littleroom at home I wondered why could not play with my little friends, but l got used to it. l suppose I'll get used to this, ,too."

SHIP BRAKE PROVES
 INTERESTING SURPRISE
(From the P.-I.)

(From the P.-l.)
 The first of series of practical tests of the Hyde automatic ship brake were made on the bay with the tug Hesperus equipped with the invention.
 The demonstration proved the ef- ficiency of the apparatus beyond doubt and was an interesting sur prise to a party of steamship mast CTS who made trip in the harbor aboard the Hesperus.
 During the tests the tug while going at a speed of eight knots an hour was stopped within distance of ten feet. Capt. James Lousn- berry, a former member of the United States transport service, and a number of other mariners who were aboard the Hesperus for get to hold onto something solid and when the tug came to a sud den stop from an eight knot clip, were sent sprawling on the deck of the vessel.
 The Hyde ship brake consists of steel plates attached to the bottom of vessel in such a manner that they can be opened outwards, giv- ing the craft great resistance in the watey.
