IT Secretary Lane had his (own way Governor Frear would continue to hold office until the Democrats of the territory could agree on his successor. He is weary of the perpetual wrang ling that has prevailed since the elec tion of last November. : He thinks, it would te appropriate punishment to leave the Republicans in control until the Democrats could fight out their differences among themselves. The Republican senators have vir tually reached a determination to not oppose the confirmation , of Governor Frear:s successor. While no definite conclusion lias been effected it be. came self-evident that a majority did not favor the fight. A good minority believed it should.be made and pros- eputed to the bitter end. It there is antagonism on the floor of the senate it .will be -offered .by senators acting as individuals and not concerted movement ratified by the minority in conference. Irwin believes the placing of sugar ont the free list will greatly aid in the populating bf iiawaii with Asiatics. He thinks the territory will be rapid ly colonized by that element and all Caucasian labor driven out. In discussing the effect of the pro posed tariff revision, Irwin said: "Free sugar would- ultimately make Hawaii an Asiatic colony, and a mere outpost of the Japanese' empire. The question becomes , more important when we consider that the United States government is spending mil lions of dollars to make Pearl Harbor and its environments, on the island of Oahu, the Cibraltar of the Pacific. The result of free sugar would be to settle the status of Hawaii beyond recall, ex cept at a price w hich we as a peace loving nation would deplore. The question of free sugar or no free su. gar is a question of finance, involving, at most, a small amount per capita to be paid by the people. If our indus trial condition in Hawaii remains un changed, we can continue our policy of encouraging Caucasian labor, thus offsetting the Asiatic, preponderance, but if our industrial conditions are changed we shall eventually have our Gibraltar of the Pacific entirely sur rounded by the very people from whom it was designed to protect ;. Make of Iiawaii an Asiatic colony and you have moved the outpost of Japan 3000 mf.es into the Pacific ocean and within eight- hours of the western coast of the United States."

The consideration of a number of applications for new" liquor licenses which were presented at the last meeting of the board of liquor lieense commissioners, will comprise the main business of the Anti-Saloon league, which meets Thursday afternoon. ' Secretary Paty, of the league, stated this morning that plans would be drawn up at the meeting to more fuiiy organize the local forces which are working for the passage of the Gronna bill, which is now before congress, and which provides for prohibition for Hawaii. That the bill has a better chance of going through now' than it has ever had before is the opinion of the members of the leasu?, and they have come to the conclusion tha.t definite action on their part is neces sary in order to set forth the believed good results which would come with the passage of such a bill.- It is now only a matter of time, they claim, and within a year they expect that the bill will have been passed. "If our slogan,-Prohibition for Ha waii in Wi't' has any eiTcct." said, Paty tLis morning, ' we will then adopt the- slogan, 'National prohibition in IS 20.'

PRINCESS KAWANANAKOA TO SPEND SUMMER HERE From New Tori? . conies ' word that the Princess Abigail Kawananakoa is contemplating a termination of her visit to the metropolis and a speedy return to her home in the Hawaiian islands to remain throughout the sum mer. Princess Kawanakoa. who was a recent visitor in this city, went east some weeks ago in the hope of gain ing permanent relief from a fracture of her knee, which occurred last year. She ha.d Intended undergoing medical treatment, even an operation if neces sary, and her plans included an ex tended sojourn in the east. Letters do not state her degree of success n-ith the medical advisers of New York, but as the unexpected return seems to presage failure, her friends here are hoping that she will remain away a little longer and will seek fur ther in the fields of medicine for a cure S.

Again comes the rumor that Hawaii is not to Ik? overlooked much longer iu the matter of military aeroplanes and hydroplanes. The United States army is making a belated attempt to close up the long aviation gap between it and foreign military services, and from th? mainland comes the news that tusiderable work will be dune with the aviation braacn of the signal corps in the Philippines. . Hawaii is next on th list, say offi cers who have the reputation of tell ing which way the wind is to blow liefore the weathercocks on the capitol begin to swing. : The San Francisco Chronicle says: Army experts believe that it will be a comparatively short time before every army post of any importance, and particularly posts at which there are coast defense batteries, will be e quipped with either aeroplanes or hydroplanes. The United States army is far in the rear of armies of other nations in the aeronautic end of mili tary wcrk, and an effort is being made to slowly but steadily Improve condi tions. On the Pacific. Coast the first big effort in that direction has beeji in the recent establishing of the avia tion camp at North Island, near San Diego. " Under the direction of Colonel Wil liam A Glassford. chief signal officer of the Philippine department of the army, a new aviation school term has been begun in the Philippines, with Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm, cavalry, .Manila, as instructor and with three student officers. The school has an equipment of two machines, one of which is a hydroplane and intended for use In the defense work about Manila bay. Colonel Glassford is building a hangar at Corregidor and one already is in use at Fort McKin ley, five miles from Manila. Last year daily flights were held at Fort McKln ley, and Colonel Glassford, according to private advices received here, hopes to hold flights almost daily this sum mer.: '" :' '-, 10 GIRLS IN ENTERTAINMENT 'I Star-Bulletin Staff Correspondence HILO, Hawaii, j;ay 5.-Seklom has there been such a large crowd ia the Hilo armory, except for a political meeting, as the one which witnessed the interesting and pretty May day entertainment given by the Bloomer Girls' Club of tne Hilo High School last Saturday night And the crowd was well repaid for its attendance for the entertainment was good and showed the trouble the high school girls had taken to make it such. From the crowning of the May queen until the end of the last of the basket ball games, which followed the traditional May day entertain ment, it was an evening of enjoyment lor all present . '. The program started with a march of thirt yyoung school girls, cos tumed In keeping with the rural dec orations of the armory, al 1 wearing lets to match their costumes. This was" followed by songs and the crowning of the May queen, Mary Jensen, and this by the May pole dance, every step showing the care their, members had taken in teach in gthem. A feature that met with much approval was an exhibition of Spanish dancing by Eleanor Patten, Mae Mundon and Blowden Forbes, the execution being remarkably good. The dancing of the Highland Fling by Miss Canario was another feature that was highly applauded. Mrs. Elliot, wife of Dr. H. B.

PRETTY MAYDAY The military strength of Oahu is to Le increased by the addition of a vol unteer motorcycle corps. Probably these "Mercuries" by the , grace of gasoline will be attached to the signal corps of the national guard, but the plan is so well thought of by regular army higher-ups that it is being fath ered; by the department commander, who will probably secure the neces sary authorization for Its organization from the war department. Credit for the Inception of the mo torcycle corps belongs to F. M. Frie sell, of the department of public works, who is himself one of the keenest motorcycle enthusiasts in, the territory. Friesell, after taking the matter up with Col. Campbell, depart ment adjutant, went among his friends and fellow cyclists, and had no trou ble in securing twenty picked men. who were anxious to enter the new service. The principal difficulty in the way of giving the. motorcycle corps a mill, tary standing is that the regulations do not permit the formation of a new company of the national guard with less than fifty-six men. This difficul ty, it is believed, will be overcome by attaching the motorcyclists to some existing organization. It Is the inten tion to drill the members oMhe corjs in signal work, so that they will be able to establish chains of signal sta tions in fast - time. "A. corps of . this sort would be of great value to the regular army when the troops are called into the field for maneuvers, or in the. event of the ar my being called out for a more se rious purpose," said Col. Campbell this morning.; "Motorcycles can now carry two men anywhere, and if the riders were well trained signalmen, with flag and heliograph, they could be used to great advantage. As a vol unteer organization the motorcycle corps should be attached to the na tional guard, to have the proper mili tary standing, and probably the mat ter will be helped along in every pos sible way by this office." VHAiraiMS WAS ACCIDENTAL . That his wife was killed by the ac cidental discharge of a revolver which he , was cleaning at the time she en tered the switchroom of the telephone company, was the statement made to Chief of Police McDuffie last night by F. L. Whaley, who is confined at the police .station charged with having shot his wife on the evening of May 3rd. . ' ... Whaley talked with the chief for some time last night, and the story which he told is looked upon by the police as being plausible. He said that at the time his wife entered the room , he was seated at his desk en gaged in cleaning and loading the re volver whicn is kept in the switch room. The two commenced to quar rel and then Mrs. Whaley jumped to. ward her husband and tried to wrest the gun from his grasp, he says. Dur ing the scuffle which followed, he added, the gun was discharged, the bullet striking the woman and killing her instantly.

Wideman of Honolulu, familiarly known to his San Francisco friends as "Mona" Wideman, was quietly married in San Jose a week ago yes terday to Miss . Mary Fairweather, who, of late, has been making her home in the Garden City. The'-bride and groom are at present? spending their honeymoon at "Arcadia," Wide man's country home, which adjoins his ranch and vineyard in the Santa Cruz mountains. Wideman was one of the speediest swimmers that ever wore the emblem of the Olympic Club, and in hi3 day made records at twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five ar.d a hundred yards. His mark of 11 seconds in the twenty-five-yard dash remains . unbeaten. The friendship of some years stand ing between the former Miss Fair weather and Wideman grew into a mote tender association after the bride took up her residence in San Jose.
