'(Special Correspondence of The Star.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. Hawaii
cahie very near not seeing tho Pacific
fleet this winter, according to rumors
heard around tho Navy Department.
When tho President's order came
holding the vessels at San Francisco
tho word passed along that tho delay
of two weeks In tho sailing date
"would bring the ships so close to the
date for fall maneuvers and target
practice that the Hawaiian cruise
would probably be abandoned. As the
matter has turned out, however, Ha
waii will got to see these warships
for a greater length of time than had
the original plans been carried out.
when the Pacific fleet, accom
panied by the first and second divis
ions of the Pacific torpedo squadron,
sails for Hawaii November 15 as now
scheduled, It Is announced It will not
return until the middle of January.
This will give a much longer time for
maneuvers in Hawaiian territory.
The Collier Nero, now fitting out ac
New York, will sail around tho con
tinent as soon as she Is ready for
sea, and will be attached to the Pa
cific joet. .
Much speculation Is rife In naval
circles as to the scene of the winter
cruise of the Atlantic fleet. Tho mat
ter is In the hands of Secretary
Meyer. Preparatory to the cruise,
tho first, second, third and fourth di
visions of tho fleet have been ordered
to gather In Hampton Roads October
10. The Delaware, Kansas, Id5ho and
Rhode Island, which are being over
hauled at their homo yards, will not
ioln the division until December 15.
Thirty thousand dollars will be ex
pended on tho now buildings at the
Boys' Industrial School, Walalae. -The
Department of Public Works and the
Department of Public Instruction are
-co-operating on the project. Tho
proposed plans have been made up,
and the matter has been laid before
the governor.
Three buildings nre to be erected,
and tho structures are to be of rein
forced concrete. The largest is to be
a two-story basement building, about
10x00 feet. '
The second building will bo a small
one-story structure, to be used as
kitchen, store-room and pantry. The
third fctructuro Is to bo a one-story
concrete building, some 40x00 feet,
and it will bo used for the purpose of
housing such departments assembled
as will best utilize tho power, steam,
etc.
Tho boys at the Industrial School
are to take part in tho construction
work. At least sixty lads will be tak
ing an active part in the erection of
the new buildings. Arrangements can
probably be made to givo them a small
compensation for their work. Expert
mechanics and a foreman will be en
gaged to take charge of the technical
part of the construction work.
A rock crusher has already been In
stalled, and it can easily turn out fifty
cubic yards of material per day. A
concrete mixer, of one-half cubic ynrd
capacity, is to be purchased, and it
can be driven by electric power,
t Tho water supply system at present
Is weak. Moro power is .needed, and
the plant must be greatly enlarged and
lmpioved in every way. The present
well, near the taro patch and pond, Is
but u few feet in depth and very eas
ily contaminated.
It is proposed to put In a new pump
of 500,000 gallons capacity; this pump
will bo capable of working against a
head of 100 feet of water."

) W. T. Pope visited Waialao a fow days
ago, and ho has made out a report on
the proposed new building. Superln

School will work in conjunction with
the two departments in the erection of
tho new buildings.

POO

Whether or not H. M. Honan, a
Ttapld Transit car conductor, is eligi
ble for a Carnegie hero medal, tho big
corporation which employs him has I
deckled that his remarkable rescue of
two Japaneso children from being
crushed beneath ihe wheels of his ear,
several weeks ago, deserves especial
recognition. To this end Honan was
called to the oillce of the company
yesterday afternooiv where, in the
presence of tho motormen and conduct
ors of the night shift, he was present
ed with a handsome gold watch and
an official letter of commendation from
tho company.
Mr. 'Honan, as readers of the Star
will remember, was running on the
Wnlalao line ato tho occurrence of the
test of nis quickness of mind and body
and of his courage a3 well. Two very
small Japanese children, mere babies,
were playing on tho car track as the
rapidly running car. turned a curve
and bore down upon them. Honan,
seeing the peril of the tots and realiz
ing that the car could not be'brought
to a stop before they were run down,
sprang out on the running board, on to
tho fonder, and at the imminent risk
of his life, threw himself upon the
track and drew the babies to safety.
The bravo conductor was covered with
mud from his exploit, his uniform
ruined, and his person more or less
bruised and scratched, but he was not
soriously hurt.

JUDGE fl F
The superintendent of Public Works
has disapproved the plans submitted
by the Rapid Transit Company for im
proving its service on the Punahou
line. As a result the proposed new
work will bo held up until an agree
ment is reached as to how tho work
is to bo done.
As has been reported in Tho Star,
tho street car company, in order 10

line, some time ago (Jecided to

turnouts, on this branch so that tho
occasions of heavy traffic, such for in
stance, as was caused by the floral
parade review at the Oahu College
grounds last winter, a whole row of
cars may bo enabled to pass each oth
er, instead of two or three only, as
at present.
The company's plans, as submitted
to tho superintendent of Public Works
for approval, called for the extension
.jjf tho various sidings along tho same
lines as at present. Superintendent
Campbell, however, thinks that this is
a source of obstruction because tho

to the curb that the passage of a ve

TO FIGHT FLY
In order to combat tho ravages of
tho Mediterranean fruit fly, it Is prac
tically docided that the Territory of
Hawaii contribute th0 sum of $8750
toward a fund to abate, If not exter
minate, tho Insect.
It Is thought probablo that tho
State of California will contribute tho
samo amount as Hawaii, and that tho
full sum will go a long way toward
banishing tho pest.
Fine Job Printing, Sra Office,
Dennis O'Brien, most Irish of nil
Irishmen and the vory broth of a
bhoy, withal, did a pleasing little turn
In tho pollco court this morning.
Dennis was charged with being
drunk. Ho looked the part;
"Guilty or not guilty?" asked Pros
ecuting Officer Brown.
O'Brien turned to him and started
to make a confidential statement
couched in tho choicest brogue.
"Tell It to the court," said Brown.
"I was drunk, your honor," said
Dennis, "sure I was quite drunk, but
I'd ask your honoV to suspind slntince
for it's a hard wor-r-king man that I
am, a most hard wor-r-king man."
"Where do you work?" asked Judge
Monsarrat.
"In tho bone factory, your honor,"
said Denis, "and I've wor-r-ked in
tho swato placo for many a mont'i,
for many a long month. I ask your
honor as a gontlomln to stiepind sin
tlnco; sure, 'tis a small thing for one
man to ask of another."
"Very well," remarked Brown, "I'll
ask that sentence bo suspended for
thirteen months with tho proviso that
if Dennis gets drunk again before tho
expiration of tho rcrlod ho shall bo
sent to Jail,"
"Sure, I'll go to Jail If I'm drunk
again, that suits mo If sintinco Is sun-plnded."
Sentencowns suspended and Dennis
waving his hand cheerily to tho Judge
and tho prosecuting nttornoy tripped
bllthesomoly out of the court room
with his battered strnw hat sot at a
contemptuous anglo on his head.
There was a torrid time in tho po
lice court this morning when tho case
of "Colonel" Knox, charged with ut
tering a threat against a nativo girl
named Annie Jones, which might have
led to a lynculng party In some coun
tries, came up for trial before Judge
Monsarrat this morning.
Georgo Davis, arrayed in a suit of
what looked to be white samite, "mys
tic, wonderful," appeared for defend
ant. No sooner was the case called than
the fur began to fly.
Davis demurred to tho complaint on
tho ground that it had been faultily
drawn and moved for a discharge.
Davis was right about the faultiness
of tho complaint, for it charged Knox
under a section .dealing with proced
ure Instead of that outlining the of
fenso of mcnaco and the use of
threats.
Prosecuting Officer Brown asked
that tho case be taken up in its due
order. Davis then put a match to his
oratorical fireworks and, glaring at
tho judge, denounced tho drawers up
of tho complaint as idiots and block'
heads and demanded that his demur
rer be dealt with forthwith, as ho had
an engagement in another court at 10
