Kinney Opposes Fairchild J May Bid for Leilehua Water. By Ernest O. Walker. (Mall Speclnl to Tlio Advortifior.) WASHINGTON, January 12. Tbo committee on investigation of tho Sugar Trust continues its sittings but tho hearings will probably bo concluded before this letter reaches Honolulu. W. G. Cook of New York, woll known to tho sugar planters of Hawaii, has been a witness before tho committco nnd probably will return hero again for further testimony. Mr. Wlllett, of Willctt & Gray, also well known to those of Hawaii interested in sugar production, has been a witness in days. B. P. Rithct is on tho way here from the Pacific Coast to testify but has apparently been dolayed by tho storms. It is felt hero that tho testimony brought out ,hns been favornblo to sugar producers but it is not oxpocted that this will be convincing to tho Democrats on tho committco. They brought a fow farmers hero from Colorado some time ago, who testified that tho manufacturers of beet sugar got all tho profits nnd that tho growers of tho sugar beets, othorwlso tho farmers, obtained no particular benefit from tho industry. ThiB was followed by testimony of a great numbor of farmers who declared that tho Colorado testimony was misleading and that tho industry was of great benefit to tho farmers. Good Tariff Arguments. Republicans of tho committco have laid the foundation for good arguments against, the reduction of duties. Representative Hinds of Maino, dovelopod during the testimony of Mr. Willctt, that sugar is ono of vory fow commodities, thn price of which has not been advanced materially in recent yoars. This was shown to bo tho enso in spito of tho fact that sugar has boon "hot I Bioused" to use a favorito expression of Chairman Hardwick of tho investigating committee for many years a'nd "by many governments. It has been fprotocteil by duties, encouraged by 'bounties nnd all that. Nevertheless it is not unlikely that the committco will recommend a reduction in duties on sugar. That is expected in any event. What tho Democratic house nnd tho Republican will do with referenco to a revised of sugar duties at this session is still very much of a guess. No ono attempts to say what the prospects aro at least no ono whoso word is of any weight nt the Capitnl. Thoro has een tnilt or revising tno sugar "but tho ways and means is taking no steps in that direction for the present. Lorimcr May Bo It. With tho changes in tho chairmanships of senate committee, over which tho senate leaders havo been dickering for several weeks, it now looks ns rthough Senator "William Lorimcr of Illinois, who has been under investigation as to his right to a seat, would head the committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico. This is tho committco "that "handles much of fho legislation affecting Ilnwail in tho senate. Many changes "in phalrnmnships havo from tho death of Senator Fryo of Maine, who was tho chairman of tho oommitteo on commerce.

But it will go quite a little better than and will bo given care that is unusual with ordinary mail matter. Governor Frear has been hard at work upon his report for several weeks; and when it wns completed last night tho territorial executive heaved a sigh of Tellef. Tho request for a reply to tho allegations mado by the delegate meant a lob of work for Mr. t'rear, and the compllnnco with the interior department's desires meant toil early and late.

Still the Governor did not stop oven to say how good ho folt, hut rather kept right on "sawing wood" until the big job wns finished nnd tho packngo for the mail signed, sealed and registered. Tho Governor's reply in itself covers ninety-two typewritten pages of legal cap, or about fifty thousand words. All through tho document there aro references to half a hundred exhibits which accompany tho direct answer. These "exhibits" consist of documents and records from every dopartment of tho territorial government which is concerned oven remotely in the allegations made by tho Delegate. Oovenor Frear in his Tcply makes no use of general statements, hearsay evidence, or matter that is not to the point. Instead, tho territorial executive simply goes nhead in his specific denial of a specific cliargo and tlion produces his evidence, the records of tho government, ns witness to tho truth. "No, I do not caro to .discuss the iinturo of my reply," said the Governor Inst night.

The prosecution claims that Franklin, who nominally held tho position of chief of detectives for tho McNamnra defenso, has. agreed to toll tho entire truth of tho bribery matters incident to tho famous trial in which ho was a prominent figure and for which bo was himself arrested. It is bolieved here that thoro will bo a long delay beforo Darrow 's caso finally comes beforo the court for trial. The ehargo against him is that of bribery. Franklin was formerly deputy sheriff of Los Angeles county but wns charged irom tno department for unruly conduct.
