WORKER
FOR TELEPHONY
TELLSOF GROWTH
T. A. Watson, Who Assisted
Bell in Early Days Takes
Vacation Here

The man who made Alexander Ora:
ham Bell, telephone Inventor, famous,
is in Honolulu.s....sHe is Thomas
Augustus Watson and he came in the
Manoa Tuesday night to visit in the
islands for the first time. He expects
to remain about a month and is stay
ing at the Pleasanton Hotel.
Watson was in charge of the mech
anfcal and technical end of Professor
Bells theoretical experiments and
heard the first message ever spoken
over telephone. 1t was particularly
appropriate that about 80 years later,
Watson and Bell who had the first
telephone conversation, should be the
two to talk from New York to San
Francisco a year ago last January.
Speaking of this remarkable long
distance conversation, Watson told in
the Star-Bulletin office this morning
that it was easier to hear the mes
sage over the 4500-mile space ira
yersed than it had been over the two
mile line 40 years ago.
Il was in San Francisco, Mr.. Bell
was in New York City, and Theodore
N. Vail, the president, was on Jekyl
Island off the coast Of Georgia" said
Watson. "The three of us, heard eV-
erything perfectly. Mr.. Vail cut in
and Mr.. Bell and, did the talking.
The total distance was about 4500
miles, hut we were talking on a dou-
BILE circuit or 5000 miles Of wires"
Watson's home is in Boston, where
he has attended only to his personal
affairs for the last few years, but for
several years after his association
with Bell he was an extensive ship
builder and is we'll informed on the
subjects of ship subsidies and mer'
chant marines. He is student of bo.
tany and geology. '-+......
'I don't believe the laws of Con
gress, whatever they may be, will ever
make great American merchant ma
rine," said Watson in talking of ship
ping, 'and about the only way the
United States can ever become
great power commercially will be
when internal economic conditions are
the same as those of the foreign ma
tions who are so successful with their
shipping"
About 12 years ago Watson spent
most of his time in Washington, he
says, in an attempt to put the ship
subsidy bill through Congress but it
fell by the way. Watson says he lost
every, cent he put into the shipping
business because that is one of the
few ventures almost impossible under
oyicfino conditions in the limited
States.

day. r.. 6
A number of speakers were called
upon to tell of free ports, and though
Hamburg, Hongkong and Copenhagen
were mentioned, not one of the speak
ers spoke in favor Of a free port fol-
Honolulu, or the benefits to be de
rived from the same. = g I.
Governor Lucius r. Pinkham, the
first speaker, told Of Hongkong as a
free port being the great distributing
center, OF China, and also told of the
benefits of a free port to Copenhagen
but he stated that ne could not see
where Hawaii would benefit by haF
ing free port in Honolulu
Judge Sanford B. Dole said that the
question of a free port for Honolulu
had been brought up for the past 81
years, but no one had come out tc
give any definite explanation oi
where the plan would be of benefit
to Hawaii. He stated that a free
port district in some cities is place
for the storage of raw materials. He
ended his discussion by stating thai
the constitution OF the United States
would have to be changed to make
/ Honolulu q free port. - =
Edward L. TindaIls told Of the free
port at Hongkong and said that it was
favored by mariners and ship-owners
as there was no charge made fol
goods, all supplied being free of duty
with the exception OF opium.
Jared G.. Smith told of a plan tc
form a free port on Long Island
where raw materials could be receiv
ed free, and then manufactured fol
exporting to other countries. He said
that irasmuch as Honolulu was moi
a. center for distribution he could
not see where a Tree port would be
of benefit. 1 EEszs.

A. T. Longley, superintendent o.

stated during his remarks in ship

that a number of ranchers are throw

bananas are rotting and thrown away
