T. Seigle, IT. S. heretofore attached to Hawaiian department headquarters, was yesterday designated as professor of military scienpe at Punahou and Kamehameha schools, dividing his time between the two schools. The new commandant of youthful troops at the two big schools came to Honolulu several months ago with a much higher rank than he now holds, expecting to command a large force.

The change in plans of the war department in postponing the establishment of a division of troops here resulted in Major Seigle 's demotion to his present regular rank. The demand for an officer of aptitude for instructing young men in military tactics resulted in the selection of Major Seigle for the dual post. Kamehameha School has a cadet battalion of 152 young men of Hawaiian birth. The battalion has always excelled in drill and Iunahou, with only two years of military instruction to its credit, has forced ahead rapidly in this branch of the last month and lately the road gangs have been handicapped by the fact that the mill of the Honolulu Construction and Draying Company was broken down and crushed rock could not be obtained. This, however, has been overcome and the mill started working again Saturday night.

Grading and excavating is poing forward on the Belt Road at the foot of the Pali and molds are under construe tion for the pouring of concrete. Work on the repairing of the Pali Road has been resumed and it is expected to get this highway in shape again within the next few weeks.

"It is up to the city to seeure better water for Nuuanu at once." Wayson Sees Danger While Dr. Wayson is not greatly disturbed over the increasing number of typhoid eases, and dysentery cases are not reported, he feels keenly the danger of surface water and the inadequacy of the present chlorine system by whieh the water is treated for "purification." Nine eases of typhoid have been reported to the board of health in the last 22 days, and while health authorities admit this is an unusual number, they insist it has not yet assumed an epidemical proportion, but is only "a forewarning of what may be expected from surfaee water and unsanitary conditions if allowed to 'continue.

Dr. Wayson declares the present system for the treatment of Nuuanu water is nothincr more, than farce, and that must be fixed, due to the fact that il has not received the attention it should have for several years. Kaimuki To Benefit Residents of Eleventh Avenue, Kaimuki, are soon to have a better road as the engineer's department is laying gravel from Cooke's tjuarry and has installed 45 feet of drain. This work has been underway a week. Patching work is being laid down on the.Moanalua road as far as Red Hill from the end of King Street to put into condition this piece of road which receives heavy use.

Wilson has a light asphalt gang at work under J. Rodriguez which repairs all chuck holes reported throughout the city. Bids will be opened September 30 for the Beretania Street improvement from Punahou to King Street extension. Work on the Tantalus Road is being haudled by High Sheriff Jarrett and it is intended to join the Round Top road with the old road going up by way of Punchbowl. A meeting of the road committee is scheduled for today to rniap out a further program of repairs and improvements.

SCUDDER LEAVES TO GET SPEAKERS FOR CENTENNIAL GOVERNOR'S AID IN H. C. L. FIGHT McCarthy Will Name Fair Price Committee Several Requested To Serve Governor McCarthy yesterday received instructions from Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer to appoint a fair price committee for Hawaii.

United States Attorney S. C. Huber will act as chairman of the committee and the following members are to be. appointed: a wholesale merchant, a retail merchant, a representative of organized labor, and a housekeeper. Governor McCarthy has mailed out letters to several persons asking them to accept a place on the committee.

Investigations will be made by the committee into every aspect of staple commodities needed by, the consumer. Prices on groceries, meat, fish and clothing will be examined and a fair price determined upon. The executive committee when named by the Governor, will have power to name as many sub-committees as it sees fit to assist in the work. The workers will serve without pay and will be advised when by J. P.

Child, former food administrator for Hawaii. Honolulu has only luck to thank for not being brought down by an epidemic, the danger of which hangs oyer the eity like the proverbial sword. "For 25 years, to my own knowledge, we have talked better water for Nuuanu, but nothing has been done. When I first came to Honolulu the people were talking of the necessity of getting artesian water for the valley, but Nuuaifu still drinks surface water." Reports and reports have been made, and investigations, he added, none of which has helped make the water better. (Continued on Page 2.

Column 1.) How the Party Went Is Graphically Told By Letter To Japanese Paper In celebration of his '60th birthday anniversary, L. McCandless gave a dinner at' his Liliha street home for servants of many nationalities who have been employed by him over a period of 20 years, "according to the Nipjti Ji.jr y-cuterday. The. J'-apiwiese newspaper tells the story of the celebration as follows: Nineteen Americaus, Japanese, Hawaiians, negroes and others, who have continually served L. McCandless for 20 long year? did not only receive presents but were invited recently to an elaborate dinner whieh was arranged in the large beautifully deeorated hall of their master, one of Mr.

McCandless' servants writes to this paper. The occasion was the birthday dinner of Mr. McCandless, who is one of the influential democratic leaders and one of the wealthy men of Hawaii, says the letter. Describing the scene at the dinner party, the writer says the servants who have long served the master faithfully gathered in a large hall to celebrate the 60th birthday anniversary of their beloved master. Though there were men and women of different tongue, all were accorded the s-ame treatment and hospitality.

All prayed the longevity of their master and pledged to serve their aged master faithfully and loyally. Off to Boston aud other Eastern cities to select speakers to attend the eentenary of the landing of the first American missionaries in Hawaii in April, 1S20, Dr. Doremus Scudder leaves this morning in the Niagara to be' Passengers Delayed In Disembarking Here For Over An Hour By Immigration Officials Although the Koyal Mail liner Niagara docked at Pier 7 at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and her gangway was lowered at exactly 4 10 o'clock, not a passenger was permitted fo leave the vessel until 5.30, because immigration ofiieials, employing only two inspectors on a vessel carrying 000 iassengers and crew, failed to complete their work until the latter hour. For the one hour and 20 minutes after the vessel docked and the passengers were permitted to land, there was a general indignation meeting among several score of impatient passengers gathered about the top of the gangway, barred from descending by the qua rterinpster who had been stationed there. Protest was also voiced by cus.

toms house inspectors who were delayed more than an hour in the examina tion of the baggage of fil passengers who disembarked at Honolulu. While the basgajre of these passengers was allowed to be placed on the dockt the owners were held on the vessel, precluding fin examination of their be-, longinjrs bv the customs 'officials Take No Chances Although the refusal to allow the through passengers to land was the di reet result of an order from the steam, ship officials themselves, it was occasioned by the delay in the examination by immigration inspectors of the persons were to disembark her. The Makura, also a Royal Mail line rdeam-er, was libelled after her last visit to Honolulu, because a. Japanese had been permitted to land without the authority of "the immiEp-ation officials. The Royal Mail officials refused to a-cept any responsibility fhis time and rather than lav themselves liable to a recurrence of the Makura incident, the order was issued prohibiting the.

olden days, the board treighter Kastern Queen docked in Honolulu harbor yesterday afternoon, her deck rails jammed and smashed by $150,000 worth of cargo swept from her decks," her cargo hoisting booms lashed to stanchions, her coal nearly gone, her drinking water polluted with salt and her food supply running short. It was on September 11 that the freighter, enroute from the Panama canal to Yokohama, via San Francisco, ran into mountains of seas 1200 miles north of the Hawaiian Islands. She gave up the battle on September 17 when her master. Captain C. W.

Weston, fearing that 8,000 tons of steel rails would shift in the hold and swamp the vessel, turned her nose off her course and headed for this port. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon she appeared unannounced off the Honolulu channel and at 3 o'clock was safely moored on the Uwa side of pier 7. The Eastern Queen is operated by the Barbour line of freighters ami she came to berth yesterday within 200 feet from a sister vessel, also bearing about her stack the blue stripes of the Barbour company. This is the Benoni, also beaten by gales and with a disabled propeller, which put in here for coal Sunday morning. The' Benoni is loaded with similar cargo as the Eastern Queen and during her encounter with a storm, two days off Panama, she lost' a propeller blade and a part of-her- deck cargo.

the adversities of the Eastern Queen; were longer and more rigorous. They began when she entered the Caribbean tea, a. few -days before passing through the. Panama There for several days the decks of the vessel were awash and the salt water filtered down intothe drinking water reservoir. The Story of the Mate "But the storm we encountered two days out from San Francisco was worse than that," said A.

C. Mackie, first officer, last evening after the Eastern Queen was safely docked. "We had run up to San Francisco from Panama for coal and left the California port on September 5. On September 7 we ran into a nor-wester and for 36 hours we battled with the thing. That storm covered our decks with water continually and here on the main deck, outside the officers quarters, we were forced to walk' with top boots.

That storm took away a greater part of our deck cargo of barrels of and formaldehyde and some of it we were forced to cast over to protect our steering-gear which is above decks. "After running out of this storm we dug in for our straight course to Yokohama and were sliding along nicely until September 11 when we hit the so-wester about 1200 miles north of the Hawaiian Islands. It was a backbreak-er. We fought that mountain of sa for six days, from September 11 to 17, and some-, days we were able to make only 67 miles in the 24 hours. During the entire battle the best we did was 1S5 miles.

What was left of our cargo cn deck either went through the deck raiis or over them, until the decks were as clean as a whistle of every movablo thing. It was when we feared the cargo of steel rails in the hold would shift and swamp us that we decided to firn back to Honolulu. "We also were forced to put in here for coal and water. We had consumed so much of the coal we got at San Francisco tliat we did not have enough to attempt the voyage straight over to Yokohama had we been able to withstand the storm. And the water is salt and has been since we began to ohip the seas two days out of San Francisco." Vessel Looks Scarred Although the Eastern Queen withstood the heavy seas without serious damage to her physically she certainly looks weather beaten.

Her steel sides and steel decks are red with rust and the deck rails are twisted iu places and completely eliminated in others. Captain Weston, who has sailed the seas for 20 years, declares the storm the vessel encountered north of here, the worst he has ever experienced, and Mackie, the first officer, with a shorter record of 12 years, asserts it to have been as bad as anything he desires to meet up with in the balance of his seagoing life. The Eastern Queen was built in Kobe by a Japanese shipbuilding company iu 1918 for the United States shipping board, and was immediately taken to San Francisco and around to the Atlau-ti; for the transportation of horses to France. She later made a trip with supplies to Germany and this is tho third trip of her career. She is S-l feet long, with a gross tonrage of 5,71) aud carries a crew of 3.1 men.

Dr. Scudder has been deputized to go to New England and select the men, eminent iu church and mission circles, who are connected with the greater movement to spread the gospel throughout the world, to come to 'Honolulu next spring.

The brig Thaddeus arrived here in April, 1820, with the first contingent of missionaries. This will be the event which will be observed. Dr. Scudder "will probably be in Grand Kapids, Michigan, on October 23, the hundredth anniversary of the date when the missionaries sailed from Boston for Honolulu via Cape Horn. Grand Rapids has been selected this year for the convention of the Congregational ministry which Dr.

Scudder will attend. He said yesterday that he will undoubtedly draw the attention of the convention to October 23 as oue MRS. BELLIVEAUIS NOT QUEEN'S HEIR Writ of Error Sought By "Princess" Denied In Unanimous Opinion of Jurists Judge C. W. Ashford, formerly on the circuit bench, did not err when he rejected certain testimony during the trial of the contest instituted by Princess Theresa Wilcox Belliveau over the will of the late Queen The writ: of error' seeking a reversal of the decision tin this case was dismissed by the supreme court yesterday under a unanimous opinion written by Associate Justice This decision brings to a close, it is expected, the contest -prosecuted by Mrs.

Belliveau to prevent the. probate of the late Queen's will. The" contestant is now serving a three-year sentence in prison, having been convicted of the charge of forging the name of Liliuokalaui to a so-called false will. "The writ of error in this matter," says the supreme court opinion, "is sued out by Theresa Owana Wilcox Belliveau seeking a reversal of the decision and order of the probate judge holding that in her attempted contest of the will of the late Queen kalani filed for probate by one of the executors therein named she failed to establish her alleged interesting relationship to the late Queen and hence failed -to show herself entitled to contest the will. Said Was Closer Than Kuhio "The case sought to be established by Mrs.

Belliveau is in substance that at the time of the death of the late Queen Liliuokalani (which occurred November 11, 1917), she was related to the Queen in a nearer degree than any other living person, in that while she admits the genealogical connection of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole with the late Queen, and that he was a great grandson of the late Queen's grandmother, Kamokukui, she (Mrs. Belliveau) claims to be a great granddaughter of the late Queen's mother, Keohokalole. "In order to establish her claim and to enable her to eontest the will it was necessary for Mrs. Belliveau to prove (1) that she was the daughter of Ka-maikaopa (w); (2) that Kamaikaopa was the daughter of Kauakaha (w); (3) Kauakaha was the daughter of Keohokalole, who was the mother of the late Queen Liliuokalani. "It is conceded that Keohokalole was the late Queen's mother and also that Mrs.

Belliveau 's mother was Kamaikaopa. A summary of the testimony introduced by the plaintiff-appeb lant in error shows that she was the daughter of Kamaikaopa (vv) and Gideon K. L.aanui, and that her maternal grandparents were Kauakaha (w) and Kaukahele. Relied On Aged Witness "To prove that Kauakaha (w) was the daughter of Keohokalole she (Mrs. Belliveau) relies upon the testimony of one Kioula, an aged Hawaiian, and the declarations made to her (Mrs.

Belliveau) by one Wainee alleged sister of her mother. "This witness (Kioula) testified that the mother of Kauakaha was Keohokalole, who was the mother of the late Queen; that he was a poi vendor aud saw the various parties mentioned, but had never spoken to any of the parties; that his information was derived from people 'who are all the name of the only one of whom he can recall was 'Piiwi', a woman living at the time. "The testimony of this witness (Kioula) was clearly inadmissible. None (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.)
