system of Govern raent tn Be Used In the
Hawaiian Islands.


Chicago. Oct. "A Daily News WASH
ington special says: Hawaii Is TO have a
government patterned after that of the
District of Columbia. N reports are true.
The system here was devised by Senator
William p. White of Maryland. and n sat
isfactory TO a majority of the residents
OF Washington In spite of the agitation for
"home rule" on the part of a minority
here. The general government assumes
one-half the taxes. The District of Co
lumbia Is the ward of the government
just as the islands now are, therefore the
proposition to govern the recently annex
ed territory in similar manner meets
with much favor and the prospects ara
that IL will receive the sanction Of con-
gress. The establishment of this system
for the Hawaiian islands viii avoid all
the embarassments and complications
which Il Is feared would result from a ter
ritorial form OF government. including
even a modified suffrage.

The reduced speed Of the ships, which

about by the desire to secure unprece-

increased responsibilities of the United

that these vessels, or most of them
would be required to make up the fleet in
that ocean. The sacrifice of speed to en-
