December 18CHICAGO,famine which has

been threatening Chicago eversince the winter set in is here. Theweather wliich has been excessive-ly cold and stormy has becomemore soj the temperatnre yester-day havingdropped to zero anda high wind blowing in from thelake.

been high all, winter and goinghigher has put 4t b.eyohd the abil-

ity of thousand of the poorer peo-

ple of the city to obtain the neces-sary fuel and there are hundredsif not thousands who are in realperil of freezing to death, or fall-

ing victims to the deseases clue toexposure.

Already the hospitals arc filledto overflowing with such casesand the charity boards of the cityhave more than they know how toattend or care for on their lists.

The coal dealers are united indeclaring that the shortage whichlias now reached approximatelyseven thousands tons of coal a daybelow the actual peeds of the city,is due to the lack of railroad carsto haul the fuel. They have ap-

pealed in vain to the railroads,they declare and the railroadshave replied that they are doingwhich they can to rush coal to therity, but that the demand for carsfrom other cities and towns inthe Middle West and elsewherein the country, is such that theycan not meet it.

The city government has takenofficial cognizance of the situationand has issued a manifesto callingupon the business men and man-

ufacturers of the city to reducetheir expenditure of the preciousfuel as much as possible so thatthe supplies which are reachingChicago will meet more needs.

The manifesto requests man-

agers of office buildings and apart-

ment houses to reduce the temp-erature of these buildings fromseventy to sixty and asks thatmanufacturing plants cut downexpenditures as much as possible.

The suffering among the pooris already intense, and threatensto become much more so beforerelief can be had.

"One of the exhibit at. the MaulCounty Fair which was a surprise tohot only visitor from the other Islands but to most Maui people a well,wa that of tire roi tland cement manu-factured here on the" island by theMaui Agricultural Company. That thisproduct is of a superior quality, test-ing higher than required in Unitedstates government work, and that itpromises soon to replace in consider-able part imported cements, is causefor still greater surprise. Such, how-

ever 1 the case. Moreover, at thepresent time a plant is being erectedon the beach at Paia .which when com-pleted will have a capacity of at leastone hundred barrels per dayl This plantwill be in operation probably in Aprilor May.

"Primarily the product will be usedto supersede the large amounts ofimported cement now used on theAlexander 4 Baldwin plantations onthis island, particularly in connectionwith the concrete lining of the manymiles of irrigated ditehe and tunnels.The surplus is to be marketed, and itis expected that it will be possible tosell it at from twenty-fiv- to fifty percent lower price than other cement oflike grade.

"The ciment is made from beachsand lime and crushed lava rock. Theprocess has been worked out by J. P.Foster, chemist of the Maui Agricul-tural Company, through a series of ex-

Before th elose of the meeting, oftvhich .Bishop H. B Restarick waachnirnian, a , comprehensive resolutionwaa passed covering moat of the pointsat issue and calling on the religious or-

ganizations of the city, as well as thechurches and congregations, to assistin the campaign that has been launchedfor a clean city.Seeks Systematic Fight

Rev. Charlfs H. McVey, who spokelast week before the chamber of com-merce on the vice situation, urged hishearers to make the fight a systematicsone.

This campaign should not be spas-modic," he said, "but a determinedfight until vice lias been exterminated

rem the community. "Bishop Restarick advised a campaign

of education, and pointed out thatwhenever the young are dealt, withalong educational lines the impressionmade has been enduring. Ignorance ofsex life, he said, is a imenaee to thecommunity. These matters, which arenow concealed, according to the seak- -

r, should be nu-d- plain ,to the young.James A. Rath, hsad worker of the

I'alama HettK-ment-, declared that itwas up to the intelligent classes, andespecially for religious workers, to givelight to the young. He especiallyurged that the matter should be takenup at the next session of the legisla-ture.Wants Abatement Law

"We should go before the legisl-ature," he suid, "and gee that the Iowauljtitemcnt law is passed. By a law ,ofthis nature it is possible to place theresponsibility where it belongs. Theresponsibility does .not rest with thosewho are carried away by passion, butwith those who permit their propertiesto be used for commercialized vice."

In ohjeeting to the committee appointed at the meeting last night, Dax iii Carey Peters assorted that Hawuiians, Chinche, Japanese and persons

Consul General Moroi Says Con

sulate Is Working To EducateNipponese To Register Visitsof Storks With the Authorities

Failure of many Japanese familiesto register births with the board ofhealth, whllo at the same time thry arerecorded at the Japanese consulate hasbeen pointed out in the board reportThe statement called to the attentionyesterday of R. Moroi, consul generalfor Japan here, brought forth the explanation that it is the Japanese laborers, ignorant of the law, who arc responsible for this condition and thatan active campaign of education la belng waged by tho consulate to remedythe situation.

The board of health report pointsout that 977 more Japanese births wererecorded at the Japanese consulate during the fiscal year ending June 301916, than were registered with theboard of health.

The board's report shows 3662 Jaianeae births registered during the yearwnue 4ujy were listeU with the consulate.

In explanation ot the failure of hiscountrymen to register their childrenwith the board of health, Consul Moroisaid:

"Since my arrival in Honolulu, Ihave made every effort to have Jap-anese residents register births with theproper territorial Authorities. Kveryparent that has recorded the birth ofa child with the consulate has beennotified to immediately resistor withthe board of health.

"It is the plantation laborera, whoare ignorant of toe law, who are ncgligent in this respect.

"The situation however is improved.The number of those who have failedto register with the board of health hasbeen much less during 1916 than thonumber during ill 15 and I expect thenumber to be still less this comingyear.

On my trips to Kauui and MauiI have repeatedly advised the Japaneseor Tnose islunds to register with theterritorial officials and the Japanese'newspapers continually give the sameadvice to their readers.

"Homo of the Japanese neglect toregister births with the consulate aswell as with the board of health."

RODERICK a MATHESON, EDITOR

Deserting the Scionsthe prohibitionists are steadily winning

in CJah'fomaJatltlthe dealers in intoxi-

cants. Jcic plainly the MrfdWVifiniff oriuhe wall arefacts evidenced in many ways, not tjie least signi-

ficant ot whKh,i the recent eStprtssfion of, desireon the part 'if "the hotels, wineries irnd breweriesto form an afliatide with the, ternperance organika-tio- n

for the abolition of the saloons. That sectionof "the California press which before the electionwas screaming advice to the voters to "Vote no onboth amendments" is now swinging around to anattack upon the saloon. It is plain that the situa-

tion has' reached the point where the liquor inter-

ests face a desperate situation arid are fightingsolely to save something. The saloon and the salooninterests are being jettisoned.

A remarkably frank exposition of this policy iscontained in the December 2 issue of WesternHotels and Travel, the organ of the hotel interestsof California, under the heading "The Time forthe Complete Abolition of the Saloon has Arrived.

"The hotel journal says: t

It seems that at last there ! a general awakening r"

to the evils of the aaloon, the irresponsible manner in'which moat of then are conducted and their general

- bsrmfulnees to the community at large. The geiefal'public baa-a- t last come to a thorough realization "of

the true situation and even the authorities are takingnotice; to a certain extent and are commencing a gene-- .

rat eleaa-up- , but, Mr. and Mrs. General Publie, a gene-

ral clean-u- p is not going to bring about a satisfactorycondition. That condition will only eome about throughthe complete abolition of the aaloon and the saloon

' cviL All too long have these parasites been feedingupon the public, aueking the blood from every torn-- ,

muaity in which they have been tolerated. You arecommencing to realize now that these interests are

ot thoae of the community at large; that yon can' get along very well without them, and in doing so

' - you will not even be jeopardizing the enormona la-- .

vestment represented by the vast acreage plaated to, win and table grapes, neither will you be in any way

restricting the production of grain or barley, for, with' the abolition of the aaloon and the well regulated

use of beer and wines in the home aad elube and' ' hotels and restaurants come into this category there

will be bo hardship worked upon the producer; it onlymeans a clean business ran along legitimate lines asagainst the virions unregulated aaloon. The averageaaloon man will not want to continue in business if

, the restrictions are aueh that they will satisfy thegeneral publie. He looks for a 100 per cent profit allthe time, aad he geta it one way or another. The'divekeeper plies the weak-minde- d patron until he has

' peat his last cent and then throws him out. Thecorner aaloon with its back room for women, manyof whom, after they have drank too much, find theirway to the barroom itaelf, ia responsible for the de- -'

generncy of the saloon patron and the evil repute in' which the business itself la now held by the general

which is demanding the" change ia condition,Sublia Man, aad you, too, Mr. Eestsnrant Man. yonhave got to take your place ia this campaign againstthe aaloon. It is aa evil that we now recognise must

. ot.be permitted to exist la oar midst any longer,, ,

. The aaloenmea themselves are now., netting bon on.' their own account to set their ,onse "hi order;' lot' they have started too late. The publie is thoroughly

. aware that it is only S subterfuge to win votes in an' effort to continue their high-hande- d methods of de;

stroyiag the morals of any, community in which theyare permitted to operate. They have started ia theirreform movement, and they show promise of beingjust as eireamspeet ia their behavior as the small boy .

before Christmas, bnt we can count upon the lapse'' from grace once they get by the. election. Their

methods are well known and there is bo use beingmisled by the promises they are making now, lor w

.. know full well what their conduct has been in the past,. so there is no ase in going about your light in a half-

hearted manner. Tou must get in the thick of the' , fight, for it is your own interest that is at stake. The

prohibitionists are in the Held now and have started'their campaigns and unless you speedily join the light

' you may find your service bar included in their listedenemy ranka. Bo now get out, Mr. Hotel Man, andtake your place under the right banner before it istoo late.

Not In Honolulu" "Booth Tarkington proclaims in substance that oneof the moat deplorable farts about American life todayia the national belief. ' whatsoever makes money, thatis beautiful.' "

COLLIERS WEEKLY.

The sentiment deplored describes the attitudeof the bill board advertiser to a dot.

! Booth is unduly pessimistic however. A reac-

tion has set in in many places throughout the' Union, and all is not beautiful that glitters on the

credit side of the ledger. The public sentiment ofHonolulu does not consider the bill board beauti-- .ful, irrespective of whether it "makes money" or

" not.:o:

! Various reasons have, been advanced why theMalihini Christmas Tree has not been held for the

'" past two years, and in no instance has the correctreason been given. The idea of holding the tree'was dropped two years ago because of the devas-tation caused by the war in Europe and the factthat the community was contributing heavily to-- -

wards the various war relief funds. It was believ-ed that by dropping the public gift giving her.ethe children would be more impressed with thesufferings of the children of Europe. The sameidea has persisted. When the war is over, by wayof extra celebration, the Malihini Christmas Treewill blossom forth again. It has not been abani

Sdoned at all, but postponed because of the great-- 'er necessity for giving elsewhere. The idea sug-- tgested by a correspondent in the Star-Bullet- in yes-terd- ay

that the tree was given up because it wasdifficult to find malihinis ready to finance it is

absurd. Except for the original tree, the malihinisnever have supported it. Malihinis have helped,but only incidentally.

bureau, the funds for the expenses of the workhaving been contributed by the San Francisco RealEstate Board. Honolulu had a survey in partwhen H. Gooding Field went over the city's books,but that survey was of a man here and on "that

cisco findings, the Argonaut saya, in part:The exoerts arrived last June and began their work.

and aew we have this Inclusive summary of theirad opinions o.Jwetdrf Arranged and o ad-

mirably expressed as to "represent not only en almostMeet monislpal system, bat the practical steps by whichit sea be reaebed. At the earns time the report eon-taia- s

tions, good and bad alike. It enables the r.itlze todiscover, almost in a moment, the exact merits aad de-

merits of nearly every feature of the city governmentso far as its fins ace aad administration are concerned.

The general impression left upon the mind by thisreport is an. encouraging one. If there has been grossinefficiency aad maladministratlon--a- s of course therehas been they are not usually of the wilful or viciouskind, and we are showa how easily and how promptlythey can be cured. The chapter of financial misman-agement is heavy eaoogh and serious enough id allconscience, bnt It is sot of the crudely corrupt kiad.It is represented in the main by a thousand dribletsof extravagance aad wastefulness that arc almost in-

separable from the handling of large affaire by smallbmb, aod from the official irresponsibilities, the false

y sense of relative values, that are engendered by ourpolitical system. The aggregate of thee cxtravagaaeesadded to the aggregate of neglected fiaanelal oppor-taaltie- a

is frankly appalling. Thus we And that nearlyI million dollars aycar are masted by the five depart-ments ot Usance, fire, health, coroner, and public werka .

ae a result of mUmanagemeat and laeSUieney. At thesame time we arc warned that this,is'subtantisUy un-

derestimated asd that there arc "many other sourcesof savings", that can be developed and that do notadmit Oi tabulation. Bo far at new sources of revenue

re concerned, we have a definite estimate of 152,000a year aad the assurance that "a complete revision ofthe city's license system should add several hundredthousand dollars to the annual revenues." A reformof purchasing methods would save $100,000 year,Another $100,000 a year can be saved oa registrationexpenses. The fire department spends $88,000 a yearmore: than it should. The department of health shouldeconomize to the extent of $33,MQ a year. And thedepartment of public works that chief of sinners isresponsible for a waste of $500,000 year. By way ofbringing the matter home even to the most cursoryreader it may be said that every man, woman, andchild in Baa Francisey is mulcted to the extent of atleast two dollar a year in order to pay for easilyavoidable extravagances and inefficiencies.

The recommendations of the bureau are, of eourse,limited in their scope. They are confined to those thatcan be effected without Change of charter, and theyare without reference to the broad political system fromwhich most of our evils spring. Ho long as we electmen to perform publie work, not because ihey are ableto do that work, but because they are able to do some-thing else, so long we shall have incapacity and ex-

travagance. Bo long as publie offices are gorged withofficials whose only claim to place and salary is somepolitical service that would not always bear the lightof day so long we must expect to be taxed beyond ourmeans. Ho long as ability is the last consideration ina public servant and partisanship the first, so longKhali we be With such mstters the reporthas no eoneern, but we may usefully remember thatthe only abiding reform begins at the polling boothand that all others are substitute! and palliatives.

PACIFIC MAIL IS

ASSURED SUCCESS

astern Business Looks ' Upon

New Venture As GuaranteedContinued Existence

That Eastern business interests lookupon the success of the new venture of.he newly organised Pacific Mail

Bteamship Company aa assured la seenby' a a inspired article in an Easternfinancial journal which is quoted andcommented upon by the conservativeNew York Times. The company is

upon as so strongly backed byEastern master capital and ao closelyrelated with , America 'a

,new

to develop foreign business that it is assured of a living bythe business that willnaturally fall to it. The Times sayat

The three new ships on the transpacific route are practically of a newtype of economical express liners adapt-ed to "development!' projects in oceantransportation. They carry 111 first- -

class passengers In comfort excelled onlyon the finest of the big tranatlantieabips, and seventy-eigh- t steerage passengers with standard accommodations.Their gross tonnage Is only hair that ofthe old Pacific Mail ships of the Orien-tal service. They will pay on lighttraffic where the old ships would pileup a burden of loss. They are the latest word in construction. They burnoil, and can be quickly adapted to acapacity for etesming 16,000 mileswithout stopping for fuel, as against3000 miles for comfortablepassenger ships. In ordinary timetwo dollars and forty eents worth ofOil delivered on the Pacific Coast hasthe efficiency of seven dollars worth ofcoal. Automatic feeding devices reduee the number of men necessary tooperate oil ahips. At present the fuelfor the fact Be voysges is carried inI

"these are the ideal ships for theCentral American service and for putting out on new cross-ocea- lines thatthe company sees fit to try out," saysthe National City Bank magazine, TheAmericas. "They can be made practically independent of foreign eoalingsupplies. In organizing ocean trans-portation service they are analogous tothe vehicles of light gasoline bus lineswhich the steam railroads now use todevelop 'feeder' business to the pointot paying support of regulsr equipment. l hey are comparatively moreeconomical than the bus vehicles, however, and are directly m line with thevery, latest ideas in ocean economy, ofoperation. The 'motor ship,' whetherbig or little, seems to be the ship ofine ruture.

"The management of the PacifleMail is very conservative In forecasting earnings when shipping conditionsgeT4ack to normal. They foresee closecompetition, with the Japanese linesable to cur verv close. The PacificMail expects to hold certain economiesthat the Jap" have not the advantageof, tending to offset the low costs of la-bor, and ao forth, which the Japaneseenjoy. However, the attitude of con-structive persistence noticeable in thenew management has its explanation.The Pacific Mall is a stone in the masonry of the structure of internationalenterprise which Is being ' suneroreanized' in the hands of the new intereststhat took over the company and itsproperties. Up to a certain point itsemployment is not dependent on closelydrawn competitive economics. A coodvolume of business is certain to go toI on a hasis. Jt car

ries the United Btates mails. It wilbe a physical connection between newAmerican enterprises in the Orient andbases of supply here. I'p to a certainpoint the line is pretty sure of a living.Beyond that point there is an opportunny, rrom the standpoint of the company, in good management and in interlocking enterprise."

The name of the new syndicate ia theRusso-Japa- American Syndicate, andjust recently it filed its articles of incorporation with the Btate of Cali-fornia. He is said to have gained con-siderable financial backing for the ven-ture while on a previous trip to the FarKnot.

Flood will first atop ia Japanesecitiea and will from there go on toSiberian porta, and eventually to Pet-rogra-

BANANAS TO BE USED

The development of an industry closely related to the banana trade andabout to receive an impetus from Amer- -

"Hanenas suitable for export mustalways be a certain size or number of'hands.' The rejection of smallerbunches by the fruit companies haa al-ways been a source of complaint andalso of loss to the planters. It is nowpropused to use them in the manufac-ture of alcohol. By executive order,the President of Honduras has signed acontract by which an American of longexperience in the fruit business in thetropics, representing a company ofAmerican capitalists, is granted theright to erect a distillery at San PedroSola, Honduras.

The concessionaire haa deposited2',000 with the government as an earn-

He agrees to take all the banana offered up to 200,000 bunchesmonthly at a fixed price of thirty centsgold per hundredweight.

The ronccsNionurie must begin distill-ing within one year from the date ofronKiossional approbation of the conr.cNttion. This new industry will be avaluable stimulus for the northern sec-tion of Honduras.

The Department of Fomento of theHonduras government has also approvedHie company's application for the rightto build a suirar mill and a paper millnear the distillery, The company pro-nose- s

to supply planters with funds forplanting sugar cane on the worn-ou- t ba-nana lands, and will also distill fromthe cane the bagasse, which is to beused in the manufacture of paper. Ex-periments will be made in the manu-fictur-

(Aasoctatoa" Press by rtderal Wlrslsss)LDH ANGELES, December Id Fire

of a mysterious origin early today de-

stroyed most of the plant of the Llewel-lyn Iron Works, In this city.

Soon after the discovery of the firetwo heavy explosions occurred In theplant thnt shook all the eastern seetion of the city. Following the explo-sions the fire spread with lightningrapidity, and all of the buildings ontwo' squares of the plant!' were burnedto the ground before the conflagrationcould be checked.Loss Is Heavy

The damage to the works, which isone of the biggest concern! in thewest, is estimated at 3.V).(H)0.

Working on the theory that the ftrwaa of incendiary orlirin. the noticeare making a thorough investigation.it is me oener mat the plant waa de-liberately set on Are and that timebombs were placed In some of the buildings. Color ia lent to this theory because of the fact that the Are occurredalmost immediately after David Cap-la- n

had been found guilty of beingimplicated in the blowing up of thepiant ana the l imes building in 1910.Echo of Former Plot

By the police authorities the fire andexplosions in the Llewellyn Iron Worksfollowing the conviction of David Capi-at- on a manslaughter charge, la lookedupon aa an echo of the dyna-miting plots in this city In 1810, whenthe Lob Angelea Times building as wellas the Llewellyn Iron Works was blownup by dynamite.

In the dynamiting of the Timesbuilding more than score of the em-ployes of the newspaper lost their Uvea.The crime shook the entire country andresulted In a nation-wid- e search for theculprits. As a result of the investiga-tion a number of labor leaders in allfarts of the country were placed underarrest and many of them were convict-ed and sent to the federal prison atLeavenworth.

But the chief interest in the sensa-tion centered in Los Angeles with thearrest of Ortle McManigal and the twoMoNamara brothers. John and James.Hoon after being plaeed under arrestMcManigal turned state's evidence, al-though he was not given any promiseof immunity. Fonda were collectedfrom labor unions all over the UnitedStates to defend the McNamara broth-ers, who were regarded as martyrs inthe cause of labor. Clarence Darrow,the noted Chicago attorney who hadmade himself celebrated during theeoal strike in Pennsylvania severalvears fcefore, waa retainedthe two prisoners.Sensational Trials

The trial of the McNamara brotherswas the most sensational and pro-longed ever conducted in Ixs Angeles.It dragged over several months, andnewspapers from every city of theUnited States sent special writers toreport the proceedings. The eourtroomwaa crowded every day, not only to aee'he prisoners, but to see and bear Dar-row. Suddenly, out of a clear sky,Darrow waa accused of attempting toSribe a witness. He waa arrested andreleased under heavy bonds and al-

lowed to continue his ease. But againout of a clear aky the McNamaraa con-fessed their guilt. John was sentencedto fourteen years in th penitentiaryand James waa given a life sentence.

Almost before the memory of theMcNamara trial had grown cold Darrow was plaeed on trial for attemptedSiibery and subornation of witness.The trial of Darrow was, if anything,more spectacular than that of bis former clients. The ease attracted theattention of the entire country andI ragged along for aeveral months. Inhis own defense Darrow delivered anration which required fifty hours toleliver. In his plea the attorney re-sted the entire history of labor union-

ism in the I'nited Htates, and the s

afterwards became a campaignlocument in the radicnl wing of theininnites. The trial resulted in a

of the jury.Jury Failed To Agree

Darrow was tried again on the samecharge, and after several weeks thejury again disagreed. When an at-tempt was made by the district attor-ney to try the noted lawyer a thirdime a cry of peraeeution went up andt was decided that it was useless to

attempt to convict him.In the meantime the investigation

was not abandoned. Oeneral Harrison(Iray Otia, proprietor of the Times andan unrelenting opponent of unionism,insisted that, every body eonneeted withthe blowing up of the Times buildinr;should be brought to justice. The coun-'r-

was combed time and time againby the best detectives available. Wil-liam J. Burns, head of one of the larg-est detective agencies in the country,personally interested himself in the"ase and after a vigorous search, Mat-he-

A. Hchmidt was connected withhe crime and brought to J.o Angeles

for trial.Schmidt Con tU. led

The trial of Hchmidt occupied sixweeks and witnesses were brought fromill over the United States and Central

inerican countries. The jury returnedi verdict of murder against Hchmidt."iniith immediately appealed hia caseo a ihigher court, alleging that the

Burns detective agency haT "cookedup" evidence on which he was convict-ed. His case is still pending andSchmidt 'remains ia the Los Angelescounty jail.

Noaooner had Schmidt been convictednan the ease against Caplan was pre-

pared by the district attorney who en'jnged a number ot' special investigators'o unearth evidence. For some time'here was an agitation to drop the caseHCiiiiist Cnplnn because it was fearedthat the evidence was insufficient (toconvict. It was also pointed out that

lug to the difficulty of securing tonnage for the transport of coal cargoes,tae British government la putting intoeffect restrictions on the delivery offuel to vessels other than those ownedby British subjects, or subjects ofsilled nation.

Special arrangement have been made,according to the announcement . fromthe British embassy at Washington,that fuel will be reserved to these Ves-sels la order that as many ships as pos-sible can be withdrawn from the taskof maintaining bunkering piles andplaced la the other services of the Empire at its time of need.

"The British government is unableto guarantee these facilities to othervessels," say the statement.

The British restrictions on eoal madein order to save ships and tonnage forother commercial trade has already hitHonolulu. Vessels that have been inAustralian ports for several weekswaiting for coal cargoes for the localbunkering piles have left these portsin ballast.

Private advices to Honolulu com-

mercial firms say that the operation ofthe government restrictions in Aus-tralia has resulted in inability of Amer-ican ship to load for Honolulu. Thevessels chartered for the purpose haveleft empty.

Expected cargoea of eoal to Honolulu are therefore, without exception,non existent. There is no coal on theway here.Entente Ships Goal Here ,

The majority of the vessels using thelocal bunkering facilitiea are ships ofthe subjects of the Entente Allies.During the last week three called forbanker eoal, of which two were Eng-lish and the other a neutral, Danish,but engaged in carrying war materials.Every other ship so served in the pastmonth ha been bound for Vladivostokwith supplies for the Russian armies otammunition factories.

Of a large number of vessel duo herefor bunkers within the next thirty days,the majority are English and Japanese.

The significance of the British order,as applied to Honolulu, seems distinct-ly to lack point, but there ia no doubtentertained locally that the discrimina-tion hns been extended to Honolulu,just the same.

(AasoctsUd Prsss by Padsrtl Wlrslsss)NEW YORK, December 17 Impor-

tant speeches dealing with the questionof preparedness and the necessity that!exists for an awakening of the Nationto the exigencies of the hour were de-

livered yesterday, one by Secretary ofWar Haker, who spoke before theAmerican Academy of I'olitieal and So-cial Science at Philadelphia, and for-mer Secretary of War Lindley Garri-son, who made aa Impassioned addresshere before the New York Lawyers'Club.

Secretary Raker addressed the Phila-delphia society on "The Real Signifi-cance of Preparedness." in his addressstating that the" situation in which theUnited States has found itself placedhy the events of the world haa made it'plain to tho thinking men of the Nationthat there is a real necessity forAmerica arming herself and becomingprepared for any eventuality.If Great Test Oomes

"If the great test to which othernations are now being put should everbe put to this nation, and if the UnitedStates were to be called upon to makethe supreme sacrifices for what we be-lieve to be right that other nations arenow being called upon to make, it isour duty and the duty of our govern-ment that that time shall find us pre-pared," he said.

"America stands in a world at armsfor peace. But, although we stand forpeace, some of the prices at which wemay continue to have it are too highfor us to pay and retain our nationalhonor, and it is then that we must beprepared.

"We have had our lesson in thenecessity fur military training of euryoung men, and we have learned thatlesson. '

lo question the power of the national government to make, adequatepreparation for the defense of-.tn- e sov-ereignty of the country, or even toargue that the national government isnot today under an imperative necessity of making those ndequate prepareturns is little snort of treason," be said.

"That the central government of thenation had made a 'lamentable faillire' so far of its preparedness plans,the former secretary of war admitted,but this relieved the loyal citizen ofnone of hia obligationa to aasiat thegovernment in remedying mistakes andcorrecting faults. . '

VERY UPSETTING

News That Knocks All

EVERY COMPANY MUST

HAVE HUNDRED MEN

Rank and File Had Been GettingDown To Work Ort Basis

of Sixty-fiv- e fihly'

Orders which upon their fulfilmentwill increase the National Guard ofHawaii' to over a.ix thousand men havebeen reeeived by the guard organisetiona from JLht office of the adjutantgeneral. These come In the form of amemorandum imparting instructionstransmitted through the commander ofthe Hawaiian department and outlinethe strength and composition of an infantry regiment according to the requirements of the war department.

The feature of this new table is thata eompany of infantry will have tocome up to a minimum strength of onehundred enlisted men, wbereaa the preaent accepted minimum is only sixty-fiv-

The suard companies have been rceruited to an approximate ten or moreper eent higher than this minimum.A Bomb Explosion

The publication of the new memorandum haa bad the effect of a bomb onthe local companies, at least, althoughit was not altogether unexpected. Itis not so much the extra recruitingcampaign that will have to be inlinediately commenced, but it infers thatthe local regiment has not been recognized as such by the militia bureau because it has not eome up to the strengthrequired of a regiment.

This "knocks" all hopes of federalpay for the period, if it be true. Jastwhat effect it will have on the companics i problematical but it is knowsthat in order to fulfil the requirementof the militia bureau a to attendaaeeand the number of.drills, a majority ofthe companies have beea working faithfully, putting in extra drills, often samany a three a week it all. and idother way striving to do the requiredamount ot duty. :

Looks Like a BuncoThe order, inferring that all of this

will not count, and that through nofault of their own the guard is goingto lose all oi the small benefit thefederal government does allow, ' waamet by the. men yesterday with ratherwryfaeoa. ' 1 ' '

The joker (n the new militia' lawseems to be la the clause requiring amintia eompany, in order to draw payto approximate the strength of a company of regular. This strength turnsout to be one hundred men. Tae required strength of a eompany has beenonly sixty-fiv- e men, however and aa fastas a company reached this strength itwas being recognised officially by thefederal instructors here and going towork in good faith to fit itself for itwork. The clause was first noticed aweek ago and the ofticera warned asto what was coming.Mot Growlinf However

There doe not seem to be sny exeesaive growling ia the local regimentof militia. It has rather disheartenedsome of the officers but all nevertheless are turning to and trying to overcome this one more handicap towardsfederal recognition, only hoping thattoe wise and all provident militia uureau won't think of something elsenasty by the time the citizen soldiersare again "efficient" according tohigher definition.

The new memorandum require thesame company noncommissioned officers as at present with the exceptionthat eleven corporal are authorized..Nineteen first class privates are ordereda first class private being new to thepreaent militia organization. A firstclass private is supposed to be efficientabove his fellows and get paid a smalladditional sum, if he ever gets paidat all.

It is a foregone conclusion nowamong militia officers that no organisetion in the guard is going to get 'paidafter its six months hard work.

It is aotioeable that the guard wasnotifiuj of the required strength withinfifteen days of the time it was (uppoaedto be paid on lor six month' work,nrovided that the sic months' work metthe requirements in strength snd attendance.

More Than $3000 Taxes By Uncle

Kvery person having a net incenseof "" or more per annum Is requiredto make a return thereon, under thenew regulations for the collection ofthe federal income tax.

This new regulation, received thisweek by tbe local interna) revenue of-

fice, affects a large number of personsin Hawaii who heretofore have not. hadto bother their heads about the incometax.

The regulation reads: "Kvery citl-se-

of the United Htates and everyalien residing within the United Stateshaving for the year IHltS a net incomeof .'I0(K) or. over,, including dividendsand Income on which tbe tax has beenwithheld at the aotiree, is required onor before March 1, 1917, t make areturn on form 1040, revised. Hush re-

of tlx" oiio in force heretofore and af-

fects a rauoh larger proportion of thepopulation. . j f Associated by Pedsral Wireless.)

Under the new law such 'a return ia required, notwithstandingthe fnct that no tax is collectable. Theidea is, aa explained yesterday by Act-ing Collector of Internal Revenue RalphJohnstone, that the government re-

serves the right to decide for itselfaa to the exemptions claimed by theindividual.

Kvery individual who pays salary, in-terest, rental and so forth to anotherperson in excess of 3000 is requiredto nun Hold one per cent from the entire amount, unless an exemption eer-lth- e

Resolution for

Many Citizens Appear Before CityFathers In FaW'of the

Band's

EVERY MEMBER OF BOARD

CASTS VOTE FOR THE POLL.,, , .

Not One Opposing Voice RaisedBy Crowd Which Attended

Meeting

On Februnry 'M a bond election will

be held at which the people of Honoluluwill be asked to vote On the proposi-

tion of floating a bond iasue of MH0.0O0

to complete water and aewer improvements that are admitted to be badlyneeded.

Thia decision was reached last nightby tho board of supervisors at one of

the most exciting meetings held in theassembly hall for a long time. When

tho motion was made by Supervisorjreu to pass the resolution calling for

the special election, it was voted for

by every member of the bqard.Thi assembly hall was crowded with

prominent citizens from all parts ofthe city who came to the meeting to

express their views on the proposed

election. A number of them who were

unable to get into the room remainedin the corridor. Although many apoke

on the subject there was not a singlo

objection raised to the proposition togive Honolulu sutlicient money to carryon the improvements that the city sore-r-

needs if it is to keep pare with itsgrowth.Dozen Persona Speak

Nearly dor.en persons spoke andevery one was emphatic in his opinionthat the improvements should be car-ried out and that the quickest and bestway to get the work done was by abond issue. By many of them it whsstated to be an imperative duty ofthe city to go forward In its improve-ments and the keen necessity for n

decent sewage system was brought outby more than one speaker."February 21 was the date set for the

election nnd a proclamation 'will ntW be printed setting forth in full

'he various it"nis for which the moneywill be spent. If the spirit of the meet-ing lust night can be taken as an indi-cation of the attitude of the generaloublic ',11 the subject, tbe bond fssucvill carry by an overwhelming major-ity.

Supervisor Arnold started the pro-

gram which ultimately became n gen-

eral clnmor to give Honolulu enoughinouey to place the citv in the front'auk in the matter of civic improve-ment. Arnold explained how the a,d- -

ninistintion had done its best to makeih frontage tnx law a success andpointed out the various improvementshat had been projected and were al

ready under way. All future improve-ments, declared Arnold, were' doendnit ou the laying of water and fevernrins. For this reason, jf for noulier, he stated that he fuvorod a bondissue.

hoiio that the committee will recommend that an election be called."

Supervisor I.ogan, who was chairmanof the meeting in the absence of theMayor, explained that an increase iathe tux rate would not taVe care ofsewer and wuter development. Ac-

cording to his view the tax would huveto be raised to u poiut where the peo-

ple would object and the running ofthe city government would have to bekimiied. There was no way out of it,

according to Logan, except by floatingbonds, which he hoped would be doneand the work aturted at ouch.Freer Favors Bonds

Former Governor Krear, who was atthe meeting on another mutter, an-

nounced that lie hud thought over thematter and that he was in favor ofthe bonds. It wns a good thing, hesaid, and he believed that it. wouldenrry without the slightest doubt. "Wecan't go to fast with city improve-ments," he said, "and I believe thutu boud issue is the best wuy to get thework doue. "

Decluriog that the city wuh tenyears behind time, W.. K. Karri irgton.made a strong plea for th,e bond elec-tion'. "We can't gef' fho money toosoon,'' he said, "and we can't spendit too fast. '

men of the United States Army, the natiohal guard and the newly created reserve forces are anticipated beforeong. .Military authorities are engagedn the levlsion of the regulations and

The problem deals with the methodf individual designation by some ,

probably of metal, that shall beon the eollar to indicate the arm,

iorps or other branch of the service tovhich the wearer belongs. (treat dlf-Icult-

has been encountered in thisuatter of identification, aud the prob-lem is increased by the lurge numberif different emblems that must necessarily be adopted for the new ranks',trades and positions ereated by the na-inn-

defense act.The war department intends to sim-

plify the system as a matter of econ-m-

nnd to avoid confusion and trou-ble that would come from carrying indock a large number of distinctive

legislation For National GuardRecommendations in the adminstra

ion of the national guard as affectedy the national defense act of June 3bis year,' which will require congresson at uction, will, be important subjectslisi'ussed ih tho near future in hearingsbefore the House and Senate MilitaryAffairs Committees.

One suggestion along this line disre-gard the national guaru aa a factor,nd content pin tea the maintenance of

'00,000 enlistments a year, .composed ofitiotaa from different congressional dis-rief-

to serve fhree years with theolori nnd four yearS with the reserves,he training to be at least two monthsyear intensive aa may be. At the end

f tlie seventh yar the advocates ofhis scheme claim thpre would be undernns in this country an aggregate forcef something' like 1.400,000 men, all

mdi-- r more or less' training, but not'nuugft for actual war with a first-laK-

Power.It' has been suggested that in the new

;ysem there be some arrangement byhich lare numbers of the organlza-io- n

of this force1 be brought into prac-is-

together in order to acquire theipneflt1 bf massing and association ando furnish the Opportunity for exercisef command in force, it being pointedlit tlilat so tfar we have been content

vitb individual work and have donelothing with big Commands.

Another scheme Is' to break up thelivisional and brigade system of

guard troops. Army dopesterslo not think that the national guardr other reserve forces should have

'urgvr Unit than a regiment ,in its n

to the Federul service, so thathen the troop of one State are trans

FOR ISLANDS PLAN

A. R. Todd, Head of Tuna CanningCompany Would Make Sup-

ply Inexhaustible

Tentative plans are under ennsiderntion by the meu back of the recentlyorganized Mid Pacific Tunn CanningCompany, to take tip with the Unitedstates government the question of cre-itin-

a fish reserve around the Iilandswhich are now, or shall become birdreservstions in the future. A. K. Todd,who ia at the head of the men organiz-ing the company in a statement to TheAdvertiser last night, said that sucha plan if carried out would undoubted-ly work lo the benefit of both thebirds and the fl.sh, to say nothing ofthe men who hnpe to make a fortuneby canning the latter.

"This is the age of conservation,"said Mr. Todd, "and I have seenanotigh In the p.ist to realize that thereis danger, if industry is permitted torun riot, of exhausting the natural re-

sources of the country."Personally I believe that these

things, the timber in the forest, thefish ir. the sea and the animals of thefield, are put here for our use not forour abuse. The Mid Pacific Tuna Cnn-ain-

Company intends to take a goodmany fish out of the sea when we getdown to hard work, which I hope willbe soon iiow, for the organization ofhe company is progressing quite

and the prospectus will beent out Monday morning in the mail.

Even if the government does not actin the matter it would be years andyears, may bo a generation, before thesupply of fish in Hawaiian waters couldbe exhausted. But there is no reasonwhy the supply should ever be exhaust-ed that I can see.

"I Intend, to propose1 us soon ns weire in a position to do so, that thegovernment create a fish reserve aroundluch barren islands ns Johnson IslandItid the like, where bird reserves have'ieen created already. Such places arehe natural spawning places of the fish.

They are protected in such localities.There is good food for them, and theironly enemies, the birds, would notmaterially lower their numbers.

"This, or a similur plan has beenfollowed on the Columbia River by thetate of Oregon. There for a time the

fisheries threatened to drain tho river,but the State authorities j;ot busy, builthatcheries, and now the yearly catch;s larger than ever and the supply of,Jsh appears to be increasing ruthercnon aimmisning.

SOLON MINDTORRENS LAND LAW

Act Will Be Made Workable AfterSeveral Years of Legal

Tinkering

REGISTRATION OF TITLEUNDER SYSTEM SIMPLE

Research Companies Chief Ob-

stacle To Safe and Simpli-

fied Property Legislation

At the next session of the Legisla-ture the active campaign for the estab-lishment of a true Tnrrens law in NewYork w ill be renewed aud a determinedfight mode to have the amendmentspassed which me necessary to makethe New York law workable. The taskis not nn easy one, but its accomplish-ment is expected this year.

The Tbrrens system for registeringland titles is bound to come because itis riKhf. Every new method, however,displaces an older method, which oftenis of long standing. The coming of anew way inevitnt.lv briugs with it aconflict with thoxe whose livelihood andinterests are wrapped up in the oldprocess.

Although in successful uso in otherparts of the wot Id for over sixty years,it is less than twenty years since the.'Irst low went into operation in theI'nited States. Illinois (1S05), K)hio(1X!)C), California (1807), and Massa-chusetts (1.!)8) were the pioneer States,;n Torren leirislntion. Today fourteonStates (besides Philippine Islands andHawaii) have Torrens laws.

When the agitation for a TorrensInw gained strength' ten years ago, thetitle companies, by this time dominantin the title-sen- hiiig lield. found theirlucrative business in turn threatenedby n new method which was as farsuperior to their own as their methodhad been superior to that of the old-styl-

searcher whom they had

The public demand tor the Torrenssystem, by whicu titles are transferredalmost ns quickly, safely, and cheaplyas liimk stock, became ho insistent thatit became impossible to prevent thepnssnge of a luw. The influence of thetitle companies, however, was tremendons, and the commission appointed byGovernor 11 light in 1007 made themistake of iutroducing features intothe law which were foreign to a trueTorrens system, and were introducedither ut the sungestion of the titleompiiny representative or with theilea of conciliating them iu order tovin their favor and permit the lawto puss. Thus they succeeded in "mar-ring the net."Why the New "fork Law Has Failed

The New York law, with its com-promises and foreign features, passedn IDOX, but w is a fiiilnie from thetart. In New York County only thir

teen titles have been registered, of.vhich live huve been withdrawn andme caiio led, leaving seven titles aithe net result of eight years' operution.

There were four features in the 1008'aw which caused its failure and whichire found in no t uceessful Torrens law.

First Registration was not madeocimniu nt titles could be withdrawn

Second into the assurance'mid k;ik optional and the State(county was not buck of the fund.

Third Kxuminution of titles for tint ii i t iu I registration was not made ofliciul, but was put into the hands of tintitle companies und private examiner:as a piisate money making proposition

Fourth - The initial court procct'din;was made as complicated, lengthy, antexnsive, seemingly, as the i nciiumof the lawyers could devise.

The strength of the Torrens systeu'lies in its stability and safety, in itisimplicity und in the economy of it

The 11I0S law, which violated nenrljevery fundamental principle of the Torreus system, failed of public confidencenus so expensive, that no owner couloafford to use it and became the luughiug stock of ull title people.Progress of Amendments

In 1013 umendment were preparesthat followed in principle the successfill Miusai husetts law and the Modeact of the American Bar Associationind were introduced iu the Legislature,hut too late iu the session to get generul public support.

In lOlti the same amendments weragain introduced and there rallied behind them such civic associations as th'Chamber of Commerce, the Bar Assi:ciution, the New York County LawyersAssociation, the State l.eugue of Build

ii and Loan Associations, the Citi-zens I'll ion, and many other associations, besides numerous indivil"ols uiuArms.

The 1910 campaign was not whollysuccessful. The representatives of tintitle companies Were present urgin)that the law remain unchanged. A

" compromise " t resulted w hich, n

finally passed, corrected the first unmet'fault by eliminating the withdrawalfeature, so that registrations are nowpermanent. Payment into the assurancefund was mudii compulsory, but theState wiut not put buck of tlio fund.

The program for litl7 comprises the'line f ures not passed in 10 111. TheState (County) must hack it he assur-ance fund to establish public confid-ence; tlu preliminary examination oftitle must lie made exclusively ofhVltil

nd the initiil proceedings must beshortened und simplified.Torren Law simple

The Torrens system once establishedis simplicity itself. After nil the titlesin mi' coiiinv are registered, even tneplant in the public ortic will full intot'tsuse, because under the Torrens sys-tem h eertillcute is automaticallykept posted to date and no searching of

This Coming Year

During the year of 1917 there willoccur the maximum number of erlipesof both th eua and the moon, that isthere will be as many eclipses as arepossible under the laws of celestialmechanics. The number of eclipsesscheduled for the coming year is fontof the sun und three of the moon.

To the average man it matters HttUwhether there are seven eclipses or onlyone, but tfi the astronomer it is of vasimportance, for during these periodnot only are many discoveries made bumany astronomical theories verified oicx loiled. For instance on December 13

of next year there will be what inscience is called u annular eclipse ofi he sun. This means that the moon willsning in its orbit botween the sun andthe earth cutting off to u great extentthe light of the solar orb.

But us the moon will be at that timein uplielion wjth regard to the sun, tbais, at Its greatest distance iu it orbifrom the center of the solar system, thiellipse will not be total. It wi.l leavea ring of light around the dark ceuteiof the eclipse.

At such a time astronomers are enabli-- to study what is known as th(solar corona or the streams of lightthat fbiro out from around the dark"I"'1 lm ecnpsc. n nas oeen iouuu'hat ' ine of theso streams of whatset ins to ne nre leap up to almost

distances, that is, distanaeigreater than any that have beenmeasured in the solar system. Huchdistances are not measured in milesbut iu the speed nt which light travel

Huch an eclipse will occur on De-cember 1.1 of next year and it is morethan probable that all the great tele- -

scopes of the world will be trained onibe- phenomenon where it is visibleIt will not be visible in Hawaii, uorwill any of the other eclipses of ,thesun that occur on January 22, June 18und July 18. All the other .threeeclipses will be partial.

lint Hawaii will be favored withthree eclipses of the moon. These willoccur on .Isnunrv 7, July 4 and Decernher 27. Tho eclipse of January 7 andDecember 27 will be visible, but thatnn July 4 will be invisible for thereason that it occurs during the day-light.

Hut what Honolulu will be particul-arly interested in is the total eclipseof the moon which occurs on January7. us it will be favorable for observa-tion here. The shadow will first beginto dim the light of the moon at seven-twent-

o'clock in the evening. Then itwill gradu-ill- creep on the lunar orbuiril the eclipse is total at eight-thirt-

o'clock. At the beginning it will ap-pear 'hat a small crescent section hasbe.n bit out of the moon. This cre-ccn- t

shaped obscuration will increaseuntil the moon is totally hidden. Thetotal eclipse will only lust for a frac-tion of a minute, but io the naked eyeit will seem to be of greater duration.

From this time on the shadow acrosst ti moon will begin to arrow less untilit emerges from the nenumbra at ninminutes past eleven o'clock. Prof. J.

Reports from the mainland that theAmerican Hawaiian Steamship Com-pan- y

has assigned to the Matson Navi-gation Company the-- contract for trans-iitatio- n

'

The Mntsnn vessels will carry to BanFrancisco nil sugar shipped from thetslnnds to the refineries during', theinluncc of December end during Jan',iry. This much was learned yester-M- y,

but is the only fsct definitelys.ablislied in connection with attempts

ro verify the reports that are emaaat-.n- g

Another angle of the reported tra ris-er of the sugar carrying contract tobe Matson company is the rumor,' ofntense Interest to local Commercial In- -,

crests, that Captain Matson is nego- - '

luting, for the purchase or ehartef ofhe giant Hill 'liner Minnesota. The

I dinnesota, now in Ban Francisco bay,s me largest rreignt vessel afloat.

One very positive account of the relorted deal between the Amerlcan-Ha- - :

voiian and the Matson companies forlandling Hawaiian sugars appeared inhe Ran Francisco Call of December T.

it Is this account that declares thatCaptain Matson is endeavoring to1

cure the use of the Minnesota in or--'

er to tarry out the contract jhat thermvrican-Hawalia- Company has withoesl sugar factors. It is pointed ont :

hat the Minnesots will provide the additional tonnage necessary for tbe Mat-o- n

company to carry the a a gar ship--nen- ts

from the Island and the regular.'reight business as well.Upon Ocntract Mad )Th Calrs account, though quoting (o. authority for its statements, de-lar-

in definite terms that tbe ar--'angement has been made for the Mat.'ion company to take over the Amer- -can Hawaiian 'a contract. The aeeountssumes that the handling of Hawaiianugnr cargoes by the Matson companylould continue the present arrange-- 'ueot of transshipment of the sugar atan Francisco for transportation by

werland rail routes to New York and'hiladelphia refineries. ,

The Call report of the deal follows. .'.

''Resigning itself to a two million-lolla- rloss, the American-Hawaiia- n

tteamship Company has contractedvlth the Matson Navigation Company--

handle tbe American-Hawaiia- line'ontracts for carrying sugar from Ha- -til to New York."While the contract will turn

4,250,000 into the coffer of the Mat- - '

on company, it will be a heavy lossor the other line. The American-tawaiia- n

Htoamship Company ia ttnderontrart to carry the sugar at nine dol--ars a ton. The Matson line will, be :

aid seventeen dollars a ton.leavy Loss Tor I4ne

"According to shipping men, the lossvill be sbsorbed in Wavy profits madey the American-Huwaiia- (Steamship'orupany in the sale of vessel and incur charter now. netting big returns."Most of the company's vessels are

n the Atlantic trade. Thia left insuf.Icient tonnage to fulfil the Hawaiianontracts."Each year the Americas Hawaiian

ino has bandied 250,000 to 300.000 tons .
