CUPID BREAKS
WITH GOV.
FREAR .
Reiterates Statement That the
Chief Executive of Terri
tory Lied to Him.
MEANS SPLIT IN THE PARTY
Delegate Says Plantations Can
Get What They Want, but
People Get Nothing.
Delegate Kuhio has definitely and
finally broken with the Republican,
party or at least, that part of the
Kepublican party which includes Gov
ernor Frear. He announced last night
that he had split with the Chief Execu
tive who, by virtue of his position, at
ieust, is the chief Republican of the
Territory and that ne is willing to
leave theisaue to the voters.
Cupid goes farther; he reiterates the
statement he made recently at a public
meeting at Waiohinu that the Gov
ernor has lied. "He lied to the people
there," says Cupid, "and he lied to
fie. ' ... t
"I suppose Governor Fiear will get
out of the lie somehow. He can always
do that, you know. He'll find some
way to get around it. But he did not
tell the truth to the people at Waio
liinu. He lied to them and he made me
lie to them. n
"I myself heard the Governor m a
speech at Waiohinu promise the people
that the Kamaoa lands would be opened
Un to homesteaders within three
months. He said the lands would be
thrown open by last January. And I
supposed this had been done J never
knew that the lands had not been open
ed up, until I got to Waiohinu and they,
told me abm,t it." That put me in , &
bad position with the pedple there for
I relying on the statement of the Gov-
ernor, had pTomiseo. iuci
should be opened up. err,fF'f"
made me lie. The people don't like
that, and I don't like it.
"The plantations can get anything!
thev want from Governor Frear; the j
people can't get anything. That's the
kind of a man Governor Frear is
"Yes," I suppose my remarks about,
the Governor do amount to a
the Republican party. They certainly
amount to a Tlit between the Gov
ernor and myself. But I am
relv on the voters at the polls. The
people don't like such treatment as
they have had from Governor Frear.
Deliberate Statements.
The Delegate made his statement
calmlv and deliberately and has evi
dently made up his mind as to his
future political course. He is appa
rentlv willing to accept the issue raised
hv his own attitude toward the Chief
Executive and leave it to the voters
to decide. How they will decide as
between Prince Cupid and the other
Republican leaders only the result of
the next political campaign can tell.

By Ernest G. Walker.
WASHINGTON, November 2S. Sev
eral prominent Hawaiians are expect
ed in town this week. According to
present advices, Governor Frear will
be here in a few days to take up offi
cial matters with congressional com
mittees and the various departments.
He will call at the White House, also,
and it is hoped here that he will have
an opportunity to tell the Fresident
about conditions in the Islands. Atty.
Cen. C. F. Hemenway and Atty. D. L.
Withington are expected by tomorrow
(Monday) to argue cases before the
Supreme Court.
Judge Hatch, accompanied by Mrs.
Hatch end Miss Hatch, has just ar
rived for the winter. They are at the
Willard Hotel for the time being, and
are looking for apartments.
The land bill, enacted by the legis
lature in extra session, has been re
ceived here. It will be introduced in
the hou.-e on the opening day of the
session, one week from tomorrow. It
is understood here that Delegate Ka
laniananle will not reach Washington
till about December 14 or 13, one wee!t
after the session begins.
Governor Frear's report has been re
ceived ar the department of the inte
r:or. but is not yet ready for publica
tion. The corrections, whieh Governor
Frear was asked to make, have bfen
put into the document, and probably
the comolted Tpport will be released
within a few days.
MISS HONOLULU'S CHRISTMAS BOX.
THE LAIRD OF SKIBO NOW, MY
MAKURA PLANT
BEING TRIED OUT
United Wireless System Installed
as an Experiment Is
Working Well.
J,The"..result of the testu being.. made
with the wireless plant aboard the
Hoyal Mail S. S. Makura will deter
mine whether or not the United Wire
less Company will succeed . in getting
the contract to install plants on all
the vessels running between Vancouver
and the Colonies. The plant aboard the
Makura is the most powerful in the
Pacific, being a five-kilowatt outfit,
whifiTthat aboard the Korea is a four
kilowatt. Operator Mnlroney talked
with Vancouver 1400 miles out and
talked with Kahuku at 1300 miles. He
expects to do even better on the way
back from the Colonies and will keep
up communication as long as possible
on the way down to Suva.
The wireless plant on the Makura is
installed for permanency, if the tests
come out all right, but if the company
records a failure to do the best stunts
in talking then it will be removed.
Operator Mulroney, however, is con
fident that the plant will do all that
is desired. Should the United get the
contract to supply all the steamships
it will mean also that the company
may install plaDts on the Australian
and New Zealand coasts. At present
there are no wireless stations in the
Colonies of any consequence, but a law
was recently passed which requires that
all steamships carrying passengers shall
be equipped with wireless. This i3
doubtless the result of the mysterious
loss of the steamship Waratah, whieh
disappeared overnight with two hun
dred people aboard about five months
ago. Had there been wireless aboard
a different story might have been told
of her disappearance.
Operator Mulroney expects to pick
up the wireless station at Guam and
also to get in touch with the Korea,
which left Yokohama on -Friday for
Honolulu. On going further south he
will endeavor to get in touch with
British warships lying or cruising in
Australian waters.
The Makura 's wireless plant is locat
ed aboard in the same manner as that
on the Korea. They have auxiliary
storage batteries so that if the engines
are put out of commission by water the
storage batteries will "enable the opera
tor to send out his calls for assistance.
ENDORSEMENTS ABE
SENT TO GOVERNOR
Secretary and Acting-Governor E. A.
Mott-Sinith has forwarded to Governor
Frear the bar association's endorsement
of Judge Robinson for reappointment of
the position on the bench now occupied
ty the judge, and of Judge J. T. De
Kolt for appointment, to tne supreme
bench.
"I did not forward the endorsement
of the bar association of A. G. M. Rob
ertson for the position of second fed
eral judge," said Mr. Mott-Smith, "for
the very good reason that it was not
sent up to me by the bar association.
It has probably been sent direct to the
Governor by the association.
"I also forwarded to Governor Frear
the resolution adopted Friday at the
mass meeting, advocating the suspen
sion of the coastwise shipping laws."

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, December
11- The conference held yesterday be
tween General Estrada and the envoys
of President Zelaya, has been discover
ed to have been simply a blind, cover
ing a movement of Zelaya 's troops
against Bluefields. It is stated that
Zela ya 's force at Greytown is sufficient
to crush the insurgents who are now
beseiging the city.
Estrada Asks Help.
General Estrada, leader of the revo
lutionary forces, has become much
alarmed over the reported advance of
President Zelaya.
He has asked for the landing of the
marines from the U. S. cruiser Des
Moines, and it is believed that he de
sires active intervention of the Amer
ican troops in his behalf.

CHAMPION TENNIS
PLAYER MAY BECOME
A LIEUTENANT
A decision just reached by the war
and navy departments will, in ail prob
ability, have considerable weight with
the bill now pending before congress
placing paymasters' clerks on a basis
of assistant paymasters with increased
pay and commutation of quarters, and
will effect Edwin S. Gee, clerk to MaJ.
B. B. Ray, army paymaster, and James
Dunn, clerk to Paymaster Hornberger,
U.S.N. The decision is as follows:
"The civii service commission has
before it opinions of the attorney-general
to the effect that paymasters'
clerks of the army and navy are of
ficers of the United States within the
constitutional meaning of that term,
and that they are officers in the regular
service within the meaning of acts of
congress respecting retirement, whieh
view the attorney-general bases upon
the practical construction which has
been given to the statutes by the war
and navy departments and the comp
troller, the recognition by congress, and
the decisions of the Supreme Court.
Navy pay clerks on sea duty and army
paymasters' elerks on duty with pay
masters hold excepted positions under
the existing civil service rules, and the,
commission has under consideration the
necessity of amending those rules so
as to place all army and navy par
masters' clerks outside the classified
civil service."
The army paymasters' clerks may
rank as first lieutenants.
QUARRELING OVER WHERE YOU'RE
PREVENTION IS
BETTER THAN CURE
An Evening With Fennell Is an
Object Lesson on How Law
Is Enforced.
- Walking the. 'streets at right with
License Inspector W. P. Fennell is riot
all roses for in the commendable oc
cupation of keeping the town as sober
a3 possible, Fennell manages to cover
a respectable distance every evening.
For instance, last night he took a lit
tle., jaunt around the center of town
and managed to scare at least a half
dozen possible infringers or the law
out of a seven years' growth.
On the waterfront he nad an oppor
tunity of turning his lamp on a gentle
men of the docks who was soused to
the skin who earnestly pleaded to be
arrested. Fennell, however, tempers
a secluded corner where he could sleep
justice with merey and steered him to
it off.
Going up a back alley behind Oza
ki 's store he had some hopes of se
curing a bunch of surreptitious booze
fighters, who sometimes hang out there,
but as Ozaki has been fined lately for
Belling imitation whisky he is not par
ticularly anxious to get outside lawful
bounds. ...
On Nuuanu avenue Fennell tumbled
into an alley two feet wide and began
to wend his way among numerous hid
den tenements foul with opium smoke
and with the Chinese language so thick
in the air that you could cut it with
a knife. A perfunctory exploration of
the buildings resulted in the discovery
of no offenders and emerging on Hotel
street he began to look for blindpigs.
Fennell has got so that he looks for
blindpigs in his sleep and if there were
any there he would find them. To show
how easy it is he walked into a sup
posed restaurant across the street and
took a bottle of beer away from a cus
tomer who had just placed himself out
side of its contents. As he had seen
no money passed he couldn't make any
arrests but scared the proprietor much
ly. Further exploration showed twelve
or so bottles that had just been emptied
and a fine bottle of choice wine. A
warning , was dispensed to the apolo
getic proprietor and he was left to his
own devices.
In another, saloon, Fennell found a
young Hawaiian who jumped a foot":
when he saw the inspector enter and
then swore stoutly that he was twenty
years old. Later he decided that he
was twenty-one for there is nothing
like being on the safe side.
Fennell asked a few questions (the
hoy didn't look seventeen), and finally
nrdered him out. No minors patronize
the saloons if Ffnpell knows it. Other
saloons and wholesale places were visit
ed and the goods and their labels ex
amined and then Fennell went to the
station to keep an appointment and his
tour was done.
Obvious results, none. Irobvimts re
sults, the town firmly corvinced that
there was a man-sized inspector in town
who could he in more places at the same
time than anv other person of his
inches and it was therefore wise to
keep a close as possible to obedience
of the law.

UNI LINE
PLANS CHANGE
New Zealand Lines May Be Put
Into a San Francisco
Mail Service.
NORTHERN LINE TO CONTINUE
Honolulu Will Benefit if Laws
Are Suspended If Not,
Will Lose.
The Union Steamship Company of
X' V I 1 i : . . i.
.voiauu, uuw iiutrrs now ioucu
here to and from Vancouver, are con-1
sidering a plan whereby their fleet is
to be divided, the newest and fastest
vessels to be put on a run with San
Francisco as their American terminus
and the older vessels to be kept on
the Vancouver run with Seattle as a
port of call.
If the coastwise laws be suspended
this will give Honolulu another tourist
lsne from San Francisco and an alto
gether new line from Seattle. If the
laws are not suspended it may mean
that the San Francisco boats will cut
this port out altogether, while the boats
rnnning to Seattle can not land Hono
lulu passengers there but must take
them through to the Canadian port and
let them come back to Seattle on tho
return trip.
If the laws are suspended to allow
the British boats to bring and carry
away passengers, Honolulu stands to
profit greatly with the change; if the
Little Honolulans are able to block the
suspension, the city will lose in both
ways. 1
It is not the Honolulu trade that the
Canadian-Australian boats are after
primarily, but the mail carrying busi
ness between New Zealand and the
Coast, .a movement in New Zealand
favoring sending the London mails via
San Francisco owing to the saving in
time which might thus be effected.
The New Zealand government is
anxious to reorganize the Colonial-San
Francisco mail service which was in
operation before the Oceanic Steamship
Company withdrews its three liners
Ventura, Sierra and Sonoma from that
run. Since the suspension of this steam
er service the train time from San
Francisco to New York has been short
ened one day by means of a fast daily
train which now connects the two jrreat
American ports. This makes a gain
of practically'two days which the New
Zealand government finds itself de
barred from using.
The New Zealand government appre
ciates the fact that San Francisco is
the real gateway to the American con
tinent, particularly since its rebuilding
has been accomplished, making it a
greater city than ever. San Francisco,
therefore, is the . natural terminus of
the trunk railroad lines of the United
States, and the moment the New Zea
land and Australian mails reach it they
are on a route which must always be
the fastest and most progressive . of
any in the world. The New Zealand
people believe that the present round
about way of getting the mails to Lon

week while in the pursuit of his work
as a sailor on board the steamer
Kauai.
The steamer arrived off Ookala early
in the morning, and a boat was-sent
out, Kaiama-liilii being a member of
its crew. It appears that the men j

and, fearing that the boat would be
overturned by it, the word was giveu
to jump. AH the men, with the ex

but the boat weathered the wave in
good shape, and all the sailors swam
back to her, except Kaiama-liilii. This
unfortunate man could not swim, and
he sank the moment he struck the
wafer, and was not seen again. His
trousers were seen floating on the sur
