DIES READING David Watson, Well Known Hawaiian, Passes Gently to Last Sleep. David Watson, a well-known Ha waiian politician, died unexpectedly this morning at his home In Kone ohe, at. the age of 58 years. He was sitting In his bedroom, reading an Old Testament, when ho sank back into his chair and (lied suddenly. No one In the house knew that he had died until they cal led him for break fast. Failing to hear from him, they went Into the room, only to find that he was dead. Up to the time of his death he was apparently well and in the best of health, i Watson was a Home Ruler at one time, and afterwards joined the Dem ocratic party. Later he joined the Republican party, with which he was affiliated until his death. He was a lawyer by profession, having been admitted to practise In all the dis trict courts of the Territory.

OLD TESTAMENT OF TEACHERS I A II TO HAVE HARD FIGHT Opposition to Measure Is Al ready Well Entrenched Here. DOUBT IF PLAN IS ' APPLICABLE LOCALLY Legislators Beginning to See Many Objections to Forc ing the Idea on Hawaiian Electorate. With the Republican Territorial platform calling for the enactment of a direct primary law at the next session of the Legislature, all tho Flgns of the times point to a fight against the measure within the party ranks. In fact, several of the Oahu legislators-elect are not averse to de claring their opposition In private conversation, although none of them has yet dared the public wrath by coming out boldly against it. In spite of the four years and more that the direct primary has been a pending law in Hawaii, the legisla tors declare that the plank was in serted In tho platform with but little knowledge of the effects of such a law, and that later study has con vinced them it can not be success, fully applied to local conditions. A number of the Oahu delegation attended the meeting last night of the -civic section of the Men's League and heard Judge Whitney's able pre-, sentatlen of the varying phases of dl-. rent primary laws. Several of them this morning declared that the ex pense of direct primary campaigns, the length of time involved, the lack of clean-cut party lines and the In ablity of country candidates to get a fair hearing makes the law unsuit ed to Hawaiian conditions. Onnosition Been Laid. Ha"': of this, however, is an unde niable opposition to the bill based on present party affiliations, and the opposition looks strong enough now to make the passage of the bill a verv doubtful matter. The fight over this promises to be the feature of the legislative session. Oahu will be the center of tho fight, as the platform would apply the law only to this Island. .The outside del. egatlons are liable to Bwing either wyi.v. Chairman A. I). Cooper of the Ter ritorial executive committee, and re cently named head of the steering committee, says he Is satisfied that the strong pledge given in the plat form will not be . Ignored, but other politicians are not so sanguine. Sev eral of them have grave doubts as to the constitutionality of a law that will prescribe one method of voting in Oahu and another in Maul, but this difficulty, it is stated, will be obviated by making the direct, pri miary appljl' iblei to municipalities, and the city and county of Honolulu, being the only municipality, will thus get tho benefit of the law.

Teachers having completed the two years collegiate course in Ihe Nor mal school shall begin at $115.00 wr month receiving the maximum salary in five years.

NO PAY DAY FOR CITY EMPLOYEES UNTIL PASSAGE City and county employes say that they are broke. And, worse luck, there is no Immediate prospect for the payment of their salaries. Tho new board of city and county supervisors has a new appropriation bill under consideration. Until this is passed at a final reading and re celves the signature of Mayor J. J. Fern, City Clerk Kalauokaianl can draw up no salary lists, Auditor Klcknell can Issue no warrants, nor can Treasurer Shingle cash the lit tle blue slips that are presented at his cashier window. Heretofore, the grand army of em ploy en of the municipal government have been ree iving their princely stipends on or about the first und fifteenth of each month. They will be obliged to forego the bi-monthly replenishment of their cash boxes this month, pending the adoption of the appropriation bill. This measure is being rushed through the board. Tonight they will pass the bill along to a second reading. Then comes a third ami final consideration before the three months' expense bill goes to Mayor Fern for signature or veto. Should his Honor decide to affix his name to the document, the glfost will stalk through municipal halls the first of February. There Is one sad contingency, however, and that comes from a fairly well-founded opinion expressed in some quarters that Mayor Fei n may decide to hold till the appropriation bill until the "solid six" Republican supervisors come around to his way ol thinking The salary schedule for principals is as follows: Principal and one assistant $780.00, third year $8 Hum fifth $!MHi.0O. eighth $1000. tenth $!2oo'. Principal and two assistants, first year $840.00. fourth $!ioo.oo. sixth $10110.00. eighth $1200, tenth $1500.

Principal and ten assistants, first year $800. seventh $2000. Principal and over ten assistants, first year $2000, firth year $24.00. Regular teachers in high schools and the Normal school are paid $1000 for first year. Second and third year $1200. Fourth to tenth years Inclus ive $1500. After ten years $1800. The principals of the high schools and Territorial Normal school shall receive $2400, after 10 years $2700. Normal critics and high school teach ers not In charge of departments shall be paid according to the following schedule: First year $!)oo, second $!bio, third $1020, fourth $1080, fifth $1200. The loca'ion of the new Girla' In dustrial School is still in abeyance. It has been practically decided to allow the question of site go for the present and attempt to secure an appropria tion from the next Legislature. leav ing a site of about twenty-five acres to be decided by the school commis sioners later. Objection has been raised to the location at Moiliill and same of the Commissioners feel that the school should be located at a point distant from the residential part of the city.
