many others, but still retained owner

Having discontinued the shipping
business and having no further use for
the queer shaped vessel, the directors
Of the company decided that it was
/ white elephant on their hands, and
yesterday the deal was concluded be
tween Hackfeld and Company and c
K. Al, president Of the City Mill Com
pany.
The vessel will be placed in the dry
lock at once, the engines removed an

The Pioneer was put in commission
about 1904, AMI was used az water
barge to supply vessels for which Hack

also to transfer immigrants from ship,

antinC wharf near the immigratio,
station.
The Pioneer while built in Germany
WAS put together in Honolulu. Tn,
vessel was built in sections and the
parts loaded into the barkentire Dun

mOny.
Then arose the question of her reg
'stry. She was primarily German
;cssPl. The matter was taken to Wash
ington by the firm through E. r. Stack
able, then collector of customs at Ho
nolulu. A bill was passed in congress
giving special permission to give the
vessel American registry, the act being
signed by Secretary of State John
HAY on March 8, 1905.
The Pioneer is l02 feet long, twenty
five feet beam and has a nine foot

below decks, and is built almost entire

good today as when she was launched
With her engine she was a self
propeller, but had no speed. When load
ed with water she sidled around the
harbor at times like an ungainly duck
She has been thoroughly surveyed b,

Whether the name Pioneer will
be retained is a matter which has not

NO REGATTA JULY :
FOURTH IN H|L0
Yacht Club Also Decides To De-
fer Building Its Project
ed New Home

There will be no new clubhouse for
the HlIo Yacht Club, yet awhile, says last
Saturdays Hilo Tribune. And there
viii he no regatta on the Fourth of
Jrly. Both decisions were reached at
a meeting of the members last night.
The report of the building committee
vLS adverse to any unnecessary expen-
diture of money at this time. On mo-
ton to adopt the report, James w.
Russell offered an amendment to accept,
which would Lave left the matter open
for discussion, whereas to adopt would
have been final action. The amend.
men. was defeated and the motion to
adopt then carried by large majority,
on Il showing of hands.
Builrding Committee Opposed
Tho building committee, Composed
Of J. c. Plankington (chairman), A.
NJ. Webster (absent), and c. L. Wright
Cabsent, felt that it was inadvisable
Mt this time to raise 10000, which
was the sum needed to build a club
house of the type desired. Many Of the
younger members expect to be called
ont in the draft and others are volun'
tcering for special duty. Moreover,
the stntr of the money market and the
attitude of the banks toward any ex'
p"nditures not strictly necessary is such
that it was felt wise to defer action.
The whole thing boils down 10
this, said Mr.. Plankington last night:
"A new clubhouse is not a necessity
and we all know it. SO far as the sup
port Of the members goes, at any other
tune we could have 1000 if we ask
ed it. Ultimately, we shall have the
clubhouse that Hilo deserves.
Wait Wont Hurt Club
In fact, it doubtless was in The
minds Of many last night that by wait
lnc We shall in the end get n better
nous" than if we pushed the thing
'h"ugh now. Many members beliey,
that whatever was done now woult
have 10 be compromise between
what ought ultimately to be done ant
"h"t th" present circumstances per

SESSION
TO Be RESTRICTED
leaders Intend To Place Limit
On Length and Legislation To
Be Considered BY Legislature

Leaders of both houses are preparing
program and making other prepare
lions FOR the special session of the leg
stature, which is to open May IA, as
stated by The Advertiser week ago
The formal proclamation calling tn,
session was issued yesterday by the
Governor.
No departures from the plans that
have been announced are expected.
While the Governor cannot limit the
length of the special session and can
not restrict the activities of the legisla
ture before or after the session opens
the intention of house leaders is to
place a limit both on the length Of the
session and on the legislation to be
considered, by having a resolution
adopted as the first action of the ses
sion fixing the date of adjournment
and listing the measures that are to
be considered. The intention is to
have the session open on Tuesday and
close the following Saturday.
Probably the first work will be t.
meet the need for which the specia
session originally was proposed. Thi'
Is to afford relief for the Island Of Ha
wall in the shape Of funds with which
damage done by the storm of ten days
ago may be repaired. This is to be
accomplished without disturbing the
budget, by shifting certain existing
appropriations to meet the emergency
( In addition to this, certain war meas
ures will. be presented and among these
will be an anti-sedition bill aimed t.
check disloyalty of every shade and
particularly dislOyal utterances re
fleeing on any of Americas allies. A
measure to establish an internment
camp by territorial statute may also
be introduced, unless Washington takes
action and establishes a camp in com
pliance with the appeal forwarded fol
lowing Mayor Joseph J. Ferns Town
Meeting.
One new proposal that has been ad
vaneed is to appropriate money with
which territorial powder magazine
may be built to take the place of the
present storage place in the old incin
orator.

VETERANS Of CIVIL WAR
ARE RAPIDLY DYING OFF
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25.-Veter-
ans of the civil war are dying at the
rate of 100 daily, according to Orlando
A. Somers, commander-in-ch of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Mr..
Somers made this announcement dur
ing patriotic exercises in this city in
honor of Abraham Lincoln and the
Union defenders.
Mr.. Somers said there were now
living approximately $4,000 veterans,
according to the pension office at
Washington, and he added that the
country would have suffered a great
loss after they had all passed away,
inasmuch as they had been a COM
handing factor in keeping patriotism
alive in this country.
1--WE may have to send 100000
men across the water before the war
crazed maniac of Europe will admit
he is crushed and beaten, but in the
end there can be but one outcome
our armies will return victors," Mr..
Somers declared.
