When asked about the mastering out
of the troops he said:
THAT is a very difficult matter and
has been delayed 10 give US a chance
to make the best move.
All of the volunteers who have seen

remain in the service and for days I
have been besieged with letters. petit

friends Of such regiments TO keep them
in the service.
"Of course, a large army is necessary
and will be kept up. Nevertheless We
feel that there are many who made a
pecuniary sacrifice to get to the front
and now that they are not wanted we
want to give them back to their tami-
lies and business. l do not know just
when the official order of muster out

What will the Government do for
the many volunteers who may find it
impossible TO sc their old positions

THAT is another proposition. l

possibility But the Government can do
nothing in case the men are refused

In Furniture.

Of course you want to
see your money 90 full duty, and
the chances are that you are puzzled
to know whom TO believe when all
are crying "Our prices are lowest. +"
1t is evident that our values must
be as great as others give or we
could not stay 10 business, but there
must be some other cause for the
large and steady increase. of our bus
mess. We assign two reasons to it.
Our stock IS larger and better assorted
than others show. our prices are a
shade lower.
This is daily demonstrated by the
number of prospective buyers we
entertain. Just at present there is
a large influx of people to these
shores, vino, if they find the condi-
tons exist such as they wish, will
eventually settle in Hawaii. To
these we wish to say that our time
is wholly at your disposal if you
wish to look over our stock and
prices. There is no compulsion about
buying.
If you see what you want, we
feel confident that our prices will be
right.

Governor Dyer has commuted. for good
behavior while IN state prison. Adolph
Bender German. who was sentenced TO
serve q term OF seven years at Cranston for
breaking and entering. The governor did
this solely because the law provides that every
person IL entitled to such communication for
good conduct and because majority OF the
board of state charities snd corrections had
apprS we'd the application, but he was opposed
TO il because Bender is one Of the worst Grim
inals ever held at Cranston In edition 10 the
seven years ALLUDED to above, Bender had also
been sen enced for seven years previous ia
that in In state and for four years in Massa-
chusetts
Finally Gov. Dyer decided 10 let the man
go, but only on coalition thar bo should be
shipped at once to Germany by the board OF
state charities and corrections, and Bender
was taken TO New York last evening by
Deputy Sheriff Frank Wall who will see that
the noted criminal der aris from these shSres.
Gender gets just s60 days of his sentence.
Governor Dyer was very much surprised to
learn that in cnses where criminals were re-
leased on communication no information was
ever sent by the state beard to the police au'
thorities of the cities and towns In regard io
their names and criminal records, aad nc
believed that the sooner the law was made
TO define this as one OF the duties of the board
the better and safor IL would be for the p.o-
