from Grahgeville securing the en-
d ,rsement Of a number Of our promi-

recently created by the state legis-
latafe Owing TO the fact that
Judge Scales failed to announce his
Candidacy until the bill had passed
the lower house some Of the boys had
already given their support to other
candidates and if the Judge fails to
land the appointment he can lay the
blaneto not getting into the race soon
enough.

Deputy Smith Calls On Hatch For
Explanation Of Grand Jury Hint

Hearty approval of letter prepared
this morning by Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral Arthur G. Smith In answer to an
attack made by Supervisor f. Nj.
Hatch Thursday ON the 100000 In.
demnity bond which H. Hackfeld &
Company refused to sign, was given
by the board of harbor commissioners
at its meeting today. The letter was
mailed to Hatch by Smith.
The board voted to approve Smiths
reply, place copy in the minutes and
give out a copy for publication. Com
missioner James Wakefield made a
pertinent comment on q phrase of
Hatch's attack in which the supervisor
is quoted as referring to, certain over
heated aliens" when he said:
It looks to me as though Super
visor Hatch is suffering from overhead
as well as the 'oyerheated aliens to
which he refers" Wakefield's remark
drew smiles from ell the commission
ers. -.
The deputy attorney generals letter
of reply reads as follows: b.

M'DUFFIE gets
real Wild MAN

Pedro Alvarez, a Porto Riean termed
by the police as the wild man." was
sentenced by Judge Monsarrat to six
months in prison for vagrancy when
arraigned this morning. ..~ ....
The defendant was picked up by
Capt. McDuffie and Sergt Kellett on
Beretania street this morning in a
pitiful condition that was almost lu.
dricious. ID ..-. H.
Although in appearance he was
healthy, his dress was an amazing as
sortment of patches. One pair of tight
fitting trousers and snu khaki coat
was his whole dress and these were
so worn and filled with patches that
had broken apart that he was more
nude than dressed and resembled a
walking crazy quilt.
Alvarez served six months once be-
fore on a similar charge Hesis thought
to be slightly demented but absolutely
harmless. In his tattered rags, he
parades the street as the laughing
stock of everybody, because, he says,
his gods demand the action regardless
of pain or imprisonment. He didn't
beg-his relatives furnish him food
he just paraded .-.s.s-.:.

said Commissioner James Wakefield,
"as his statements are a fact / do
not think H. Hackfeld & Company
has dealt with the board fairly or
squarely. Klebahn charged United
States Inspector OF Boilers Heeney
with false statements about the POM
mern's condition, but the boards in
vestigating committee proved lnspec-
tor Heeney's statements absolutely
correct In every way. We are dealing
with INSCRIPTIONS and resourceful
men and in view of what has hap
pened to German steamers on the
mainland il would be folly to con-
eider any further concessions. We
should order the Pommern and Setos
TO outside anchorage Immediately"
Commissioner C. J. Mccarthy said
he only differed from Commissioner
Wakefield so TAR as the place where
the steamers should be put. Il want
them by all means removed from the
territorial wharves they now occupy"
he said. II am in favor of applying

After a general discussion of the
situation. In which il developed that
the boards plan is to anchor the Pom
mern at the outer anchorage far
enough eva of the harbor entrance to
keep her from blocking it in case her
officers and crew should raise anchor
and let the ship drift, opening the sea-
cock when she was directly across
the channel, the board got down to
business and passed the resolution or
dering her out. 1t Is, the boards in
tention to tow her In again and tie
her up with the Setos in Rotten Row
after the "dolphins," or mooring piles,
have been driven. 49,.
The cost Of the dolphins will be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, the cost of
which the board plans to pay by means
of a special mooring charge. To
legalize II new ruling is to be made,
probably on the same basis as the
present Kahului moorfng rates. There
is now no mooring charge at this port
as all vessels use territorial piers and
pay the regular wharfage rates.
All three motions to move the Pom
mern out. secure the Setos at her
berth, and get permission to drive
dolphins were unanimously passed by
the board. The resolution ordering

Governor Urges Extreme Caution
At l0:45 this morning, immediately
after the board had adjourned, the
commissioners were requested by
Secretary Will Wayne to meet with
Governor Lucius E. Pinkham In the
executive chamber.
The board at once conferred with
the governor 1t was learned that the
executive read a letter he had writ

to the German refugee merchant

by the imperial German government
as an act Of war, or which might re-
suit in any diplomatic complications.

advisable and necessary in order to
properly accommodate the commerce
in the port of Honolulu, and, ~
Whereas, removal of the S. S. Pom
mern to a safe anchorage outside the
harhor viii at this time relieve the
situation materially, and
Whereas, 1T also appears advisable
to safeguard the interests and proper

Therefore be it resolved, that the

present berth to an anchorage outside

hours from receipt of notice, said an
