their efforts in behalf of a bill to char

land to connect with the wires of the
Pittsburg and Allegheny Independent
companies, and these companies being
allied with Baltimore company,
would have connecting link in long
distance service IL Washington fran
chise is granted.
An important victory in the fight for
the charter has been won, the District
Of Columbia committee having submit
ted favorable report on the bill to
grant it. The independent company
proposes to furnish house service for
$24 a year and Office service for $3.50.
The present prices Of the Bell Company
are S12O and S125 for similar service.
A law requiring reduction to $50 a
year was declared unconstitutional.
Washington with its army Of people
earning from $1,000 to $1,000 per year,
is looked upon as a rich field for an in
dependent telephone line.

Baltimore companies interested sue

distance field, including northern Ohio,
and northern Indiana, southern Mich

reduction of Bell rates to $50 was tack
ed on to an appropriation bill. 1t went
through but was knocked out in court.

CHANCES
Were Indicative Of the
Womens' Mood.
Not Pleared With Resolution Adopted
by Church Trustees.

Members of the st. Clair street
Methodist church of Glenyille, who are
occasionally late at it's services, and
have been obliged to content them
selves with seats in the rear, where
only fleeting glimpses could be caught
of the pastor and Of the choir, through
a waving expanse of nodding plumcs on
Rribdingnaggan bonnets, are happy,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. At
its meeting last Monday evening the
official board of the church passed a
resolution requesting the ladies to re-
move their hats in all assemblies Of the
church.
At the morning service yesterday the
pastor, Rev. j. S. Rutledge, read the
resolution, and futter Of excitement
followed. A part Of the feminine por-
ton of the congregation hastily remov-
cd more or less elaborate displays of
millinery. Others glanced around the
church to see what their sisters were
doing, and reluctantly pulled out hat
pins and sorrowfully laid their hats on
their laps. Still other women firmly
compressed their lips, and casting a
more or less whitening glance in the
direction of the pulpit, detiantly wore
their hats during the rest of the SER
vices. S'i
Members of the board who were
scattered through the audience, were
also targets for scornful shafts from
flashing feminine eyes, and if ears
burn when people are thinking wicked
thoughts about one, some of the board
must have thought n blast from a
blowpipe was aimed at their aural ap-
paratus.
"Some of the members of the board
sit in the rear of the church" said Rev
Mr.. Rutledgc, after the reading of the
resolution, ''and / suppose they have
been obliged to rubberneck to obtail
casual glimpses of the pastor and the
choir"
Easter Sunday is only five weeks
away, and with the opportunity it ha'
come to afford for the display of dc
lectable dainties in the way of marvel
Of millinery, the resolution placing
high hats under ban arouses indigna
tion. Many of the ladies of the Glen
vile church are much perturbed owe
. the edict of the official board.
Some of them arc willing to compl!
with the request, and lay aside thei
hats, since II has become popular t.
eschew bonnets In places of amuse
, ment. Others insist that the action o
, the board is unreasonable, becaus
: check room facilities at the church ar
, somewhat meager, and holding a ha
, in the lap is inconvcnicnt and annoy
ing.
One Of the Woodland avenue church
es instituted similar reform som
time ago but it did not prove popula
A or &c long standing. Whether the ant
= hat crusade will be more successful i
! Glenville remains to be seen.

Second Judge of the Circuit Court. While
somewhat of a newcomer to Hawaii Judge
Silliman has made a large number of
friends here, and his record during his in
cumbency as temporary Judge was an ex-
cellent one and he earned the respect of
his confreres as well as that of the mem
bers of the bar who practiced before him.
During his recent absence In the States
Judge Silliman closed up his affairs on
the Mainland and has come to the Islands
to take up his permanent residence here.
Judge Silliman is young man but

fairs. He is from Michigan. where his
father was leading doctor of medicine.
Like many Michigan youths he first es-
sayed business in the lumber line and
spent some years in St. Paul. Minnesota.

Institution he was graduated in 1894. Ad-
mitted to the bar. he practiced for two
years with Draper. Davis & HOLSTER,
prominent lawyers of Duluth, Minnesota,
and at the end of that time hung out his
own shingle.
Pleasure-bent Judge S,lliman came to
Honolulu in the winter of 1928 and fell
a victim to the destinations of Island life.
