Order to Store Coal at Naval
Dock Causes'Officers to
Give Opinions
That the Pacific fleet may pay Ho
nolulu another visit this winter or
early spring is the rumor going the
rounds in naval circles here. There
has been no official word to this ef
feet, but recent information from the
Navy department regarding the coal
supply here leads to the belief Jhat the
cruisers may come again for a pro
tracted stay.
"I would not -be surprised to see
the fleet here again soon." said Rear
Admiral Cowles this morning. "No
order has been received, but we have
word that we are to get 7.000 tons of
coal per. month, beginning next Febru
ary. It Is hoped that, the coal-stor.
age. plant at Pearl Harbor will be In
operation by the end of pezt June, but
until that time it will have to be stor
ed around' the front here, which
looks as though there might be a more
or less immediate call for fuel. We
have no word as to how long the
monthly shipments ' are to continue,
although. I -. suppose the idea is to
bring the supply up to 100,000 tons
again. "-:' -t? ' ,'

Ordinance Planned : to Keep
Autos and Cabs from Stop
ping on Street
At the meeting' of the supervisors
last night, Harry Murray gave notice
of his Intention to Introduce an ordi
nance . which-will forbid any vehicle
from taking a stand on Fort street be
tween Beretania and Queen streets. 11
passed the ordinance will prohibit any
vehicle from stopping longer in front
of a store than to discharge its pas
sengers. The vehicles can rest on any
side street, but they can not remain
on Fort 6treet
The ordinance is introduced, Jt is
understood, because of a series of ac
cidents which have resulted through
the overcrowding of Fort street, and
inasntuch as the merchants are all
treated alike,' It is not believed that
there will be any complaint from
them.
At a meeting last night, the Board
of Supervisors passed Murray's reso
lution, for some time pending, which
forbids employes of the city and coun
ty from engaging in. politics in office
hours. The vote was four to two. Ar
nold and Dwight being the minority.
These members thought it was a case
of locking the stable after the horse
was stolen.

IVERS COMMENTS ON
ORGANIC ACT PROVISION
No Evasion of Law, but 1000
Acres Too Small for a
: Plantatioh
Under date of September 30, 1912,
C. Brewer & Co., Ltd.. executed quit
claim deeds to three corporations for
lands on the Island of Hawaii.
Asked regarding the transactions.
Richard Ivers, secretary of Brewer's,
bald this morning that' the corpora
tions were those mentioned in his
statement to Secretary Fisher report
ed in yesterday's Star-Bulletin.
"The provision of the Organic Act,
prohibiting a corporation from hold
ing more than 1000 acres of land, had
nothing whatever to do with these
transactions said Mr. Ivers. "All
three of the deeds .cover only a little
more than 500 acres. ..
"Besides, there Is . nothing in the
Organic. Act to prevent one corpora
tion from holding the stock of an
other. The author of that provision
in the Organic - Act evidently knew
more about a henroost than he did
about a sugar plantation. Everybody
knows that one thousand acres will
not do for a sugar plantation amount
ing to anything. 1 !
MIn the Philippines the limit to cor
porations is 2500 acres of land, but
they are getting all the land they want
there and there has not been a'ainxltf
case brought there for violation of the
law. AA , ',A,'A: .-. y'y
TThe lands- conveyed to these eom
panles ' were bought by C Brewer &
Co. ' as an . Investment, as I stated . to
Mr. Fisher, and they contain some cane
lands . which . are cultivated by sugar
companies of which we are the agents.
There are some errors in the publish
ed report ot my statement to Secre
tary v Fisher, regarding the profits to
planters on contract, but I have fur
nished' Mr. Fisher with a correct tran
script of my evidence, and a copy of

time this, subject may again come up

Political Candidates Talk of
Rumor That Oppositjpn
Will Be Strong
The confirmation of Dr. Victor S.
Clark as commissioner of immigra
tion, a position to which he was ap
pointed by the Governor not long after
the adjournment of the Legislature of
911, will be fought by the next Ter
ritorial Senate, according to a well-
defined political rumor which is con
firmed by some of the candidates for
the Legislature.
The appointment of Dr. Clark was
a recess appointment by the Governor
and must come before the next Senate
for confirmation, in the regular course
of events. The opposition to the com
missioner has not yet crystallized
enough to put forth definite reasons
against his confirmation.
JAPANESE AND
HORSE INJURED
A Japanese driver of the Hiramoto
delivery wagon and the horse drawing

in a Collision with a six-horse team
belonging to the Hustace-Peck com

hauling three heavily loaded wagons
filled with broken stone collided with
the delivery team, causing some dam

being called at the end of the eleventh inning on accountNof darkness.
With Christy Mathewson, the great Ntw York pitcher, in the box, the
Giants made a great effort to take th second game of the series from the
Red Sox and even up the score. Mathewson pitched a fine game, but the
heavy batters of the Red Sox would not be denied, and the New York In
field's work was decidedly ragged, five errors being charged against the
Giants. )
Boston got ten hits from Mathewson, but even at that "Big Six" out

Giants 'fell upon him hard and he was succeeded by Hall. HalPs curve ball

work was not up to standard and he was relieved by Wilson.

Attorney General Gives Opinion
on Powers of the Harbor
Commission
After a careful study of the . law
points Involved, Attorney General Alex
Lindsay has reversed the opinion he
gave off-hand to the Star-Bulletin a
few days ago, before he had examined
the statute relating to the case, and
he presented to the Board of Harbor
Commissioners this afternoon a for-
mal statement to" the effect that that
commission has no right, under the
present law, to regulate the dockage
charges at privately-owned wharves.
At "first flush" a few days ago,
when the matter was first called to
his attention, the Attorney General
was inclined to believe the commis
sion was empowered to 6et maximum
rates for all wharves, whether private ;

or public-owned,- that were used by that if Mr. Taft were retained as chief

DREDGING PROPOSAL I S ACCEPTED
Whether dredging operations, at Hi
lo should be postponed sixty days to
permit an early completion of similar
work in the Alakea street slip and
Port street slip in Honolulu was the
subject of earnest debate at the meet
ing of the board of harbor commis
sioners this afternoon, resulting in a
decision giving the work to the Ha
waiian Dredging company.
The Hawaiian Dredging company,
-whose tender offers to do the Hono
lulu work for an aggregate sum of
$68,946. proves quite acceptable to the
harbor commission, but the clause in.
serted in the tender, stating that the
local jobs will be completed by April
15. did not meet with approval. The
board wants both pieces of work com
pleted at the earliest possible mo
ment, as much before April 15 as pos
sible, and Chairman Campbell object
ed strenuously to the time clause.
Superintendent H. G. Plummer of
the Hawaiian Dredging Company ex

Recent Utterances of President
Indicate Extraordinary? Con

BY C. S. ALBERT.
Special Star-Bulletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept 27.
The pall of an extraordinary session
of Congress next spring for tariff re
vision has been thrown over business
interests . by. the recent utterances of
Tes Went Taft. His broad hints in
that direction indicate that Congress
will be. convened immediately after
the regular short session of this whi
ter, no matter who is chosen presi
dent. It was taken as a matter of course
that in the event of Mr. Wilson's suc
cess there would be the extraordinary
session. However, it was expected
uc
President Taft has promised a revi
sion of the tariff if the Republicans
succeed in the November elections.
The reason assigned is that duties
should be adjusted on a scientific
basis to prevent prices for the neces
saries' of life from becoming too ex
orbitant He hinted that the work of
the tariff board would be resumed
and all modifications of schedules
based on the conclusions of that body.
At the same time the president de.
clared that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
act had nothing more to do with the

jobs and complete them at once. J.
L. Young of the Lord-Young Engineer
ing Company was called into confer
ence and asked whether the postpone
ment of the dredging operations at
Hilo would check the construction
work on the wharf.
Mr. Young stated that it would not
interfere with the wharf construc
tion, and on that understanding the
contract was awarded to the Hawaii

complete both, Honolulu Jobs by Jan

the United States undoubtedly will

Attorney J. Alfred Magoon, Brown's

instructing him to begin preparation

fore the appeal was taken from Judge

mutual understanding between the
parties at Issue that no matter how

losing side should continue the case,
