CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CALLED
TO ACT.
Special Meeting Will be Held Tomor-
row to Consider the Questiou-The
Need has Become Imperative.

\ meeting of the Chamber of Com
take into consideration the question
| of wharf facilities, and how best to
| present the urgent need of increased
wharf room to secure what is needed
The increased traffic of the Islands
in itself requires an increase of wharf
| facilities. Ever since the transports
| began to arrive, and the numerous
cargoes of coal for the United States
government there has been Il jam at
the wharves amounting sometimes to
a blockade. Coal vessels have been
| obliged to lie in the stream for days
at time. And even Island steamers
have in some cases been obliged to
wait two days for a berth.
But the increased shipping due to
the war has not been the only factor.
With the development of the sugar
industry and particularly with the in
crease of pumping works on the plan
tations, the use of coal has largely in
creased. requiring more shipping and
more wharf room.
With the beginning of the sugar
shipping season attention is called
acutely to the subject. Without in
creased facilities it is said serious loss
will be inflicted on the business in
terests of the community. The COM
panies operating Island steamers are
already, it is said. feeling the cramped
facilities that exist.
The United States has taken that
part of the water front beyond the
! Pacific Mail wharf, so that additional
| facilities will have to be made in 9th
er directions.
One difficulty that confronts any at
tempted solution is the uncertainty as
to what sovereignty the title to the
water front will be vested in. If the
United States takes it. improvements
will have to wait congressional action.
1t may be. however. and the opinion
seems to be widely entertained. that
the title will be vested in the Terri
tory of Hawaii. In that case the local
government can proceed with plans
| that can be gotten ready as soon as
the question of title is settled.
| The Chamber of Commerce will
probably put into concrete and tangi
BILE form the pressing needs of in
creased wharf room torether with
suggestions as to the physical plans
that will best meet the needs, in order

RUSSIAN SECT PROPOSED AS
LABORERS.
Canada Takes Five Thousand of Them
and Distributes Them Among Her
Many Fruitful Farms.

Commissioner Marsden proposed in
a letter to the Planters Association
that laborers on the plantations might
be found in Russia from what was
called the "Quakers," though that is
not really their name, the proper So
briquet being the Dukhobortsia sect,
which means Warriors of the Spirit" :"
The Canadian government according
TO a recent number of the London
Times, is taking 5000 of this sect and
distributing them among the farms of
Canada, where they will meet with Il
climate as vigorous as their own. So
if the Planters desire to obtain this la
Dor they should be up and doing. The
5000 warriors of the spirit" who go
to Canada will arrive there either in
January or February.
There is no reason why Russian
peasants should not do well on our
plantations. Though exposed to great
extremes of cold, they are also expos
ed to tremendous extremes of heat
Working in the wheat fields on the
immense flats of Eastern Russia in
midsummer and at reaping time is
far greater labor than any of our
plantations involve. The heat of the
tropics in Hawaii is as nothing to the
still heat of Eastern Russia. where
the sun blazes with such fierceness
that the crop is sown and garnered
within the space of some four months.
These warriors of the spirit" are
one of the many mystic sects of the
Slavic race. They are sober, earnest,
chaste and devoted to their particular
form of religion. 1t is "A curious thing
that the Russian mind runs to mysti-
cism and the number of sects that
have arisen in spite of the determina-
ton of the main government that all
of Holy Russia" should be orthodox.
by its action in prosecuting such sects
the Russian government drives some
OF its best citizens out of the country.
If Mr.. Marsden's proposal is listen
ed to favorably a very valuable and
earnest addition to our population will
be made

STEAM VALVE ENPLODES.
Electric, Light Workmen Have a Mar
Now Escape.

y globe steam valve, six inches in
diameter, burst at the electric light
works about 10 o'clock this morning,
and several men working i'm the neigh
borhood feel that they had a narrow
escape.
When the explosion occurred the
shop was filled with smoke. Superin-
tendent Hoffman's first order was to
see that no one was hurt This was
done. All the men had escaped inju-
ry. The steam was then shut off
from the boiler. Examination reveal
ed the fact that the valve had crack
ed from top to bottom. 1t is suppos-
ed that it had a defect in it which
could not be detected by the naked
eve.
The valve is made of iron. Had it
shattered. which il might have done,
the effect would have been similar to
the explosion of a field shell. and
someone must surely have been kill
ed or severely injured.
Power was off in town for half an
hour on account of the accident. An
other valve was inserted in place of
the burSted one.

The Tempest Tossed and Struggled
for Vessel Now Manned by Prize
Crew of Two Policemen.

The City of Columbia lies idly at
the wharf, deserted except by two po-
licemen, who constitute the prize
crew, now that the vessel is in the
hand of the law and the custody of
the marshal. There is no bos'n to
pipe all hands to grog: no captain to
tread the quarterback.
The crew are scattered about town.
One was left sick in Hilo. Another of
them shipped this morning ON the XII
nau. and third got job ashore. The
vessel will be the sleeping place of the
men pending the court proceedings.
But for meals, the men can get them
where they choose, the consul general
holding whatever Judgment is collect
ed from the ship to pay such bills first.
The engineers force will set the
pumps going twice a day to pump out
whatever water the vessel makes in
the meantime.
All the officers and the crew except
Captain Minor joined in a libel

KILOHNNA ART LEAGUE.

After January LIST the Kilohana Art
League will, for some weeks at least.
hold its meetings in Progress hall. The
present rooms over the Fort and Ho-

at the end of the year. 1t is the in
tention of the League to occupy ul-
timately rooms in the new Cartwright
block near Progress hall. Mr.. Hitch
cock will probably have his studio at
his home.
The financial condition of the Art
League was never better than at pres
ent. but the way is not vet clear for
it to build home of its own. 1t has
long been the idea and hope of the or
ganization that the Library Associa-

the second floor could be occupied.
This scheme exploded, however, when.
