No. 5013 T FflR MA YflR PNG . inn I THE -NAME OP THE FORMER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FOR THE MAYORALTY IS RECEIVED WITH GENERAL ACCLAIM "A CLEAR THINKER WITH NO BOMBAST" TAKEN BY SURPRISE JUDGE 1 PERRY IS NOT READY TO ANSWER. Tho latest name brought forward as a possiblo candidate for mayor of Hono lulu at the coming election Is that of Judge Antonio Perry, former Associate Justice of tho Supremo Court. The matter had never reached his ears till he wafc questioned this morning by a Star reporter and ho could not say at that tltno whether, in case tho honor was offered to him, no would be In a position to accept. So far as tho suggestion has been followed up, Judgo Perry's name has met with almost universal favor. In interviewing various business men and others who are interested in the matter of politics to some degree, not one could bo found who did not have a good word to say for Judge Perry, whether a Republican, Democrat or Civic Feder ation man. A. F. Judd, when asked what he thought of Perry should the latter al low his name to be used, Bald: "It would be Impossible to get a more . competent man for the position. Ho 13 a hard worker and a clear thinker with no bombast about him. I believe that If ho could, bo prevailed on to ac cept the nomination ho would make an ideal candidate." F. B. McStocker in speaking of tho matter Bald: "A better man for tho position could not be found. He is honest and effi cient and would be certainly tho right man for the place." Ed. Towse was another who seemed very favdrably impressed by tbo rrien- CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND 'FAREWELL OF THE RETIRI NAVAL STATION LARGE THE COMMERCIAL CLfctJ- I The largo dining room of tho Com mercial Club was well filled this atter noon with a largo number of Hono lulu's representative business men to say good bye to Admiral Very who leaves'' this afternoon In the Korea tor tho Coast..

He said: 1 "Ho Would be a very good man in tho place and he is very well liked. I doubt if it would bo possiblo to find anyone who would object to him for the position." 1 Charlie Hustaco was another who seemed to like the Idea and who be lieved that Perry would mako a strong candidate. Alex. Robertson, tho re tiring, chairman of the Republican Ter ritorial committee, also spoke strongly in regard to Perry'B qualifications. From tho opinions which have bevi expressed it appears as if Perry was just tho man whom tho various wings of tho Republican patty might conso lidate on and for whom all would work in the most absolute harmony. The only question Is whether Judge Perry can be induced to run for tho nomina tion. His legal business Is ono which he has built up to largo proportions and It would necessarily suffer should he take office under the municipal govern ment. In speaking o'f the matter thlB morning he said: "You have sprung something entirely new on me and I really cannot answer a question as to Whether I would take the nomination should it be offered mo. I have never heard a word of the mat ter before and you can understand that it Is a rather strong proposition to take up at a moment'B notice. I can say one thing, that It would require a great deal of persuasion to mako me take such a nomination."

Admiral Very responded as follows: Aloha, gentlemen. I appreciate very much tho complimentary re marks paid mo by President Morgan but I am unwilling to accept all the praise for the success of the Pearl Harbor matter, because I think the greatest credit Is due 'Mr. Morgan and tho rest of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as Mr. Wood for their ener getic work in getting the appropria tion through this year. . "Now that we have the appropria tion for Pearl Harbor, nothing is go ing to stop It, and some of us aro go- Ingj to live to see the greatest naval station in the world completed (ap plause).

Improveme Waialae IMPORTANT BUSINESS AT CLUB MEETING WATER PROBLEM SERI OUS SATISFACTORY ROAD -WORK CARE OF TREES ASSUM ED BY PRIVATE OWNERS PROPOSAL TO UNITE KA1MUKI AND PALOLO DISTRICTS IN NEW ELECTION PRECINCT. A meeting of the Waialae, Kairaukl and Palolo Improvement Club, to which residents of Beretanla and Young streets were invited, was held at tho Government Nursery last night. President A. F. Clark, Secretary D. V. Anderson and Treasurer A. F. COoke were at the table. Wade Warren Thayer read the re port of the committee, of which ho is chairman, on tho question jot car ser vice. It is printed in full below. Tho report was accepted and tho consider ation of its recommendations referred to a special meeting at an early day to be called by the chair. Several committees reported on dif ferent branches of the club's Interests. The road work by tho county In tho section was considered as having Deen very satisfactory thus far, and the meeting received with applause tho reported assurance that tho Improve ment of Sixth avenue would shortly bo undertaken. Residents of the up per part of Katmukt tract have lately relieved the tree planting committee of the care of trees planted along their frontages, as well as tho club's treas ury of the expense of that work. There was only ono matter, outside of the car servlco, which was reported In unsatisfactory status. This was tho vital question of the water supply tor houses on the upper levels. As lately reported in The Star, the reservoir is leaking badly and threatening to give way .entirely. Superintendent of Pub He Works 'Marston Campbell linds that Us repairing is out of the ques tion, the substructure being quite un substantial. There is no fund out of which a new reservoir can be built. Many of the residents aro in favor of Replacing tho reservoir, under an appropriation from next legislature, with a steel tankv lined with cement, which would cost something less than $15,000. This typo of high level water container has strong engineering ap proval on the mainland. Mr. Camp bell inclines to a reinforced concrete reservoir on tho slto of tho present tanks, with a smaller receptacle on tho higher Palolo land to serve the houses CINTON .1. IIUTCHINS, THE WELL-KNOWN INSURANCE MAN AND PROMOTER OF DEVELOPMENT, GOES TO THE COAST PER MANENTLYHE WILL FOR THE PRESENT RETAIN PRESID ENCY OF THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH COMPANY. Clinton J. Hutchlns has resigned his local presidency of tho Pacific Mutual Insurance Company, tho vico presldency of tho West Hawaii Rail road Company, tho vice-presidency of tho Kona Development Company, tho vice-presidency ot tho Coyno Furni turo Company and his official con nections with a few other concerns with which ho has been identified hero, and within a week, perhaps, leaves for San Francisco, accompan ied by his wife, to rcsido permanent ly. His mother Is In Borkoloy and ho wants to bo near her; his wife's health is a most Important consider ation, and they also wish to bo oti tho coast whero their daughtor is in college. , As president of tho Wireless Tele graph Company, C. J. Hutchlns will, for tho present at least, retain offico. Thoro is much to bo dono at tho Cali fornia end for tho Wireless Telegraph and Hutchlns, Its president, Is tho man to do It. Now that tho wireless company has taken deflnlto steps to establish long dlstanco stations horo and mako this tho most up-to-dato wireless center In tho world, arrange ments aro to bo perfected with all tho steamship companies for tho in stallation aboard trans-PacIflc boats ot wireless apparatus that tho local long-dlstanco systom may servo thorn. With Hutchlns on tho Coast theso arrangements may. bo expected not to bo dolayed any moro than is ab solutely unavoidable iits ecton on the highest elevations, this to be served by pumping from the reservoir. It would bo too heavy a load for the present Kalmuki pumping station to drive water to a reservoir on the sum mit. This plan would cost about ?35, 000. It is proposed that tho government take over tho water system of the Pa lolo Land Co., discarding Its supply out retaining Its service mains. There would need to bo a larger appropriate tion for including this action, but the government would bo reimbursed by having all tho Palolo wnter rates to collect as well as thoso of the Kalmuki and Waialae tracts. At the same tlmo the Palolo people would, receive arte sian Instead of surface water. C. II. Kluegel, the public works en gineer. It was reported, Is Investigating the entire water problem of the sec tion. Another important proposition laid before tho meeting by the president wnsithat of joining Kalmuki and Palo lo in a now election precinct. It was received favorably by the meeting, which felt that the Interests of both sides of Waialae road, from Kapahulu road up, were Identical with regard to public utilities. President Clark, Emll A. Borndt and Wade Warren Thayer were appointed a committee to see Act ing Governor Mott-Smlth about tho matter and they arranged right there to attend to tho business today. ' Following Is the report on tho mat ter of car service mentioned above: Hpnolulii, April 22nd, 190S. To tho residents of Kalmuki, Waialae, Palolo Beretanla and Young streets: Your commltteo on street car ser vice appointed at a meeting held on Fob. 10, 190S, beg leave to report as follows: Two conferences were held by your committee with Governor Walter F.

It is probable that ho will bo giv en a district to manngo near Bor keley for tho Pacific Mutual, for which he has dono so much hero. .Tho Wireless Telegraph Company hero will probably at an early moot ing provido for a second vlcc-prosi-dent and a director and arrango to operate, with its president away on tho Coast. Hutchlns, who Is ono of tho most energetic and level-headed of local business men, dooply regrets leaving theso Islands and tho pcoplo of which and of whom ho thinks so much, but waureua uu iius iui eleven years ueeu living hero and visiting the mainland ho will now llvo on tho mainland and visit horo. Incidentally ho will bo an Important Individual Hawaii i promotion commltteo on tho Coast. Among other offices resigned to day, Hutchlns put in his quit as Com missioner of Public Instruction, a work in which ho was zealous and deeply Interested. Ho will porhaps bo most Identified with tho Kona Dovolopmont Com pany, outsido tuo lnsuranco business, foi ho took that to tho receivership, guiding It through elovch lawsuits, and it is still engaged In tho Illerco controversy.
