the trustees would soon bring suit
in Brooklyn, asking that the trus-
tees be empowered to wind up the
affairs of the trust and dispose OF
the property IN their hands for the
benefit of the certificate holders
who are the real owners of the
stock. He said: This action is
taken by the trustees because it is
the only thing that they can do.
They do not propose, in their
official capacity. to accept any OF
the responsibility of the matter OF
reorganization. They, therefore,
appointed committee with power
to cooperate with the other stock
holders for the purpose of securing
as promptly as possible a new or
ganization to protect their prop
erty."
Personal Mention.
About year ago some Mormon
elders induced thirteen native Ha-
waiians to leave their homes on
Oahu and join the saints under pro-
mise of high wages and steady
work at Salt Lake City. Early in
the week nine of them-five men,
three women snd boy-returned
to the city and they are on board
the Mariposa. While in San Fran
cisco they were given assistance by
Consul Mckinley. The colony of
native Hawailans at Salt Lake,
while quite large is in u state of
discomfort.
Among the passengers on the
Mariposa for Honolulu is James ii.
Pratt of Albany, n. Y, who came
to California in 1915 and remained
here only year He intends to
remain in Hawaii some time.
Working for the ships.
Robert J. Creighton the New
Zealand Governments Agent is
doing excellent service in bringing
the necessity of passing the ton
mage and subsidy. bills to the at
tention of Congress, and as it is
not probable that Congress will
adjourn before September one or
both of the bills may go through,
both having already passed the
Senate. Recently he drew an adj
mirable comparison between the
China and Australian trades say
ing: In the last fiscal the exports
to Australia aggregated S12,252,-
l47 and the imports s5,99S, 211.
The trade balance was this 1929
937 in our favor. The exports OF
merchandise to China were valued
at S2,790,62l and the imports at
17,02S,412 the balance against us
being S14, 237,7 91. the Australian
trade is out of sight the best one to
hold of the two and l am amazed at
the business men of this country
who do not seem to think it worth
their while to try for the $780,
100000 annual trade done by the
Colonies.
The West Australian mail will
hereafter be sent from England by
direct service instead of by Sar
Francisco. This is done by reason
of the geographical situation o.
West Australia, quicker time being
possible in that way.
War in Central America.
The most conflicting and contra,
dictory reports come from Central
America in regard to the difficulty
between Guatemala and San Sal
vador. On the Goth the Mexican
journal Ell Universal published an
account of battle between 5000
Guatemalas and a large force OF
Salvadorians in which the Guate-
malans were defeated with loss OF
over forty killed. The Guatema-
lans have since denied that there
was any battle at all while the
Salvadorians now claim that six
have been fought and that they
were successful in all The New
York Herald claims to have inform
alton of an alliance between Guate
mala and Honduras on one side
and Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa
RIGA on the other. 1t seems prob
able that a general Central Amer
lean war cannot be avoided, and
the Herald claims that the Guate-
malan government will appeal to
the United States to prevent Mex
lean interference. The latest relia-
BILE estimate of the armed forces of
each republic is as follows: Qua
temala $1,000, Honduras 5000, Sal
vador 10000, and Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA jointly $1,000.
| Nicaragua Canal Interference.
DIR. Wilfrid Nelson, an old time
Central American traveller, who is
now in New York, says that it is
pretty we'll understood in Central
America that if Guatemala should
overwheIm Salvador and Mica
ragua, she will load down the canal
with so many concessions as to
