LANAI SENDS FOR HELP
SERIOUS FAMINE THREATENED
AT MAUNALEI.
One Bag OF Flour Left and other Pro-
visions for Six Hundred People VIII
Last Three Days.

The little island of Lanai has sent to
Honolulu for help to stave off famine,
which Is close at hand unless a load
of provisions is sent there at once.
Even taro is beginning to command a
nigh price and flour and rice are not
to be had. There are about six hun
dred people on the island and when the
steam launch Talula left there yester-
day to ask that a cargo be sent from
here, the stores were only enough for
three days.
Manager Stoddard of Maunalei, the
Lanai plantation. came to Honolulu on
the Talula this morning to have pro-
visions sent at once. He was already
on the way here on the Mokolii when
the latter went ashore. Efforts to get
food on Maui resulted in failure. La
haina stores are reported to be well
stocked, but they will not part with the
stun they have, fearing non-arrival OF
shipments from here. There is one
bag of flour on Lanai" said Mr. Stod-
dard this morning land the stock OF
rice is getting very small. There is
taro to be had but even that is get
ting high priced and the Chinese and
Japanese laborers are not satisfied un-
less they can be given rice With over
five hundred people there to be looked
after and only food for about three
days on the island, the situation is real
ly serious We want a steamer load
| at once and in fact shall have to have
1t, plague or no plague. 1t is better to
run risk of plague than to die of starv-
alton anyhow"
/ Since the pest broke out in Honolulu
| Lanai has been somewhat neglected
| She is not a very big island, and doesn't
very often want a steamer, but she
has 500 mouths to be fed, and the own
| ers of the six hundred mouths are cap
| able of making an unpleasant row IL
| they get hungry. The Wilder Steamship
| Company is sending the Maui, but no
| freight is allowed on her. The Lehua
will leave some goods at Lanai on her
| present trip.

AIMING AT THE PAPER TRUST.
Bellamy.s Bill In the House Receiving
Considerable support.

A special to The Charleston Post
from Washington says:
Representative Bellamy, who has
introduced a bill in the hou of rep
resentatives aimed at the paper trust
OF the country. is receiving consider
able support. The bill. IL passed by
congress, would be a direct blow to this
trust. which has been enabled by the
duty TO keep up high prices on paper.
The removal OF the entire duty on
wood pulp and the reduction Of .he
duty on manufactured paper 50 per
cent. a the measure proposes. would
do much toward breaking up the pres
ent ton existing. The paper
trust. il is needless TO say. is fighting
the removal OF the duty on wood pulp
and h reduction of the duty On manu-
featured paper tooth and nail. but the
sentiment in the house in favor OF the
passage OF the bill is found to be very
great.
The southern members OF congress.
including, il is believed, the entire
South Carolina, North Carolina. Vir-
ginia and Texas delegations, are in Ia
vor OF Mr.. Bellamy's measure. TLe
measure is especially in the interest OF
rural newspapers, and is receiving a.
large support from that quarter. The
sentiment in favor OF the passage Of
this, ore some bill similar to that of Mr..
Bellamys measure. is not found alone
on the democratic side Of the house.
AT least one republican in the house.
Mr.. Tompkins, OF New York state, has
declared himself in favor OF n re-
moval of the duty on wood pulp. He
goes further even than does the pro-
posed measure of Mr.. Bellamy, and
says he would like to see the entire
duty on paper, manufactured, removed
If possible. Other republicans in the
house, some of them otherwise strong
protectionists, coming from the rural
districts, are being besieged by their
constituents to support the bill, and
many of them are declaring themselves
in it's favor. 1t begins to 0 as if
the sentiment in the house might be-
come strong enough to compel the re-
porting of the bill from the ways amt
means committee of the house, where
it is now pending, and its passage
through the house of representatives.
If the bill of Mr.. Bellamy should pass
through the house, a strong effort
would be made to secure its passage
through the senate"

TO osTRACIsE TRUST MAGNATEs

~ So-
ST. Louis, January 15.-Colonel Will
liam Jennings Bryan and President Ar
T. Hadley, of Yale university,
were interviewed today relative to the
latter's proposal to o~stracise trust
magnates. Both are agreed on the idea
that social recognition should be de-
MED to any man engaged in a trust or
other business enterprise inimical to
the public welfare, and that the public
mind should be educated to see those
evils that exist in the trust system.
Colonel Bryan said:
The idea is a good one and should
be encouraged. A man who tries to rob
the public by means of a trust, or by
wrecking a bank or railroad, should no
more be cou~ntenanced by society than
a plain highwayman. The thing need
ed is to awaken Inc educate the public
mind and conscience on such matters
When the people understand the harm
that there really is in trusts, they will
be ready to apply a remedy. There
are things which were permitted in So
ciety twenty-five years ago, which are
not tolerated at all today The change
has been wrought through education A
similar change will take place when the
people learn the true moral status OF
the trust question"
