GERMAN EMPEROR lNVESTiGAT-
ING EFFECT OF BEER.

Berlin. Dec. 14.-The emperor,
among a variety OF new subjects en-
gazing his attention, is looking into
the subject of the German workmens
productiveness and the use OF beer
during working hours. HIS majesty's
inquiries among employers and stu
dents of social questions indicate that
he regards the beer now drunk g
larly on factory premises as apprecia-
bly, detrimental to both workmanship
and amount of product. A movement
is on foot to. exclude beer from the
factories. Several works have already
induced their operatives to dispense
| with morning and afternoon beer re-
cesses. 1t is quite common for a
workman 20 drink ten pints a lay IN
! the shops, while the average is not
much below a gallon per day, especial
ly among molders.
An American firm making electric
apparatus here has kept records OF
the work done before and since the
prohibition of beer. The result is 10
per cen increase in product per man
Part of the increase, however, is due
to the time saved. The theory of the
firm is that beer drinking in working
hours makes a mar physically and
mentally inactive, and that conse
%quently he is less capable of doing his
work, especially toward the end OF
the day.
The foreign Office officials tell the
correspondent of the Associated Press
that Germany has not the remotes'
idea of selling a Venezuela harbor il
order to have satisfaction of he,
claims.
Germany has not any government
claims, and those connected with TIN
m~istreatment of sailors and German
residents in Venezuela are substantial
ly settled. Germany might push som
private business claims, but she re
CARDS the whole matter now as il
significant and would gladly be out G

THE AMERICAN FEDERATION
AMERICAN FEDERATION RAISING
sINEWs OF WAR.
Per Capita Tax Increased to Create a
Defense Fund-The Militia
and Unionism.

Scranton. Dec. 13.-The convention
of the American Federation of Labor
held three sessions today, and dispos-
ed of more business than on any prev
ious day of the meeting. The session
tonight was decided upon SO as to en-
able the delegates to finish the work
of the convention by tonight. One OF
the principal features of today's pro-
ceedings was the defeat of the PROPOSE
ton to increase the number of vice.
presidents from six to eight.
The increase was recommended by
the committee on law, but many dele
gates made warm speeches against the
increase.
Charges were made that the execu-
tive council, where the vice presl.
/ dents are members, was back OF the
! proposition, but this was vehemently
denied. A resolution instructing un
ions to hold aloof from the militia OF
| the several states was debated for {
long time. Strong language agains'
the use of the militia in case of strike:
was used, but the whole subject wal
tabled. The convention decided to in
crease the per capita tax of nationa
and international unions from one
third to one-half of one cent pc
member per month, and also agreed t
raise the per capita of Federal an
local trade unions from S to 10 cents
month for each member. The increas

THREE DROWNED.
House Boat Blown From Its Mornings
and Wrecked.

-'.
Nashville. Dec. 14.-The heavy wind
AID rain last night resulted in a triple
drowning about five miles below the
city. Edward Reynolds, a fisherman,
his wife and an infant, were lost and
tow others narrowly escaped drown
ing. The five persons were on a house
boat moored near the mouth of Rich
land creek, and the sudden rise OF
the waters broke the mornings and
the wind drove it into the mud OF the
Cumberland river, where it was
blown over and sunk. The two per
sons saved were taken off the boat
just before it went down by men in
skiff. The bodies have not been re
| covered.

SUBJECT OF ADDRESS OF PREsI-
DENT A. 3. sTickNEY.
The BANKERS BANQUET
If Restrictions Were Repealed and
Banking Made Free It Would
Evolve Itself.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-The bankers OF
Chicago were given a banquet by the
Marquette club tonight. In addition
to speeches by ex-Comptroller James
H. Eckels, president of the CONNER
cial National bank, and President j.
B. Morgan, of the First National bank,
there was one by A. B. Stickney pres
ident of the Chicago & Great Western
Railway company, who was the prln-
cipal guest OF the evening. Mr.. Stick
ney's subject was "The Central Re-
serve Bank"
He contended that a central reserve
bank would not and could not become
a monopoly, extending its branches to
every village and driving all other
banks out of existence, the necessity
of keeping As per cent of reserve
would render it incapable of Compel
ing. except in the larger transactions,
| with the other banks which would car
nv no more than 5 to 8 per cent of re-
serve. The reserve, he said, is the
regulator Of the banking business. AS
a matter Of fact, he went on to say,
the Bank Of England, Scotland and
Wales has 1921 branches. The bank
1 ing business outside of London is en-
tirely in the possession of the the
others banks. Some of the Other
banks, both in and out of London, II
point of deposits, rival the Bank Of
England. and in the matter of loans
outstrip it. ut is my conviction hi
said, that there is no safety and car
be no safety of financial affairs in thu
United States until the treasury il
abolished but, at the same time, w
must not close our eyes to the fac
that it has become an integral par
of the banking system, and canno
be safely destroyed until a centra
reserve bank has been developed
otherwise, the duty of protecting tn
gold reserve from expectation woul
fall upon 4,O64 national and 5,649 stat
banks and institutions. The imposs
bility of more than 5000 separat
! banks protecting the gold reserV
against expectation, would OF itse
necessitate a central reserve bank, t
which would be delegated the sole r.
sponsibility of protecting the reserve
tIt is my conviction that if the r.
), strictions of the American bankin
laws were repealed and banking mao
0 free, there would be developed in tn
S United States a banking system SUI
r stantially on the lines of the Scotcl
S English system. In process of tim

Railroad Wants Money.

The following communication was

To the Finance Committee OF the
House OF Representatives OF the
Territory OF Hawaii.
Geutlemen:-Ws beg to call the
attention OF your honorable COM
mittee to the inclosed statement of
subsidy to which the Oahu Railway
and Land Company is entitled aud
which becomes due during lie cur
rent biennial period, the amount OF
which is $3.50.
The wisdom of the Legislature of
1890 in granting this aid to the o. r.
81 l., Go. has been fully justified hy
the vast amount Of taxable property
which has come into existence
through the construction OF this
road. The road would never have
been built without tba subsidy. IL
it had not baen built, ths Eva and
Waialua distr cts would have r.
NAMED undeveloped to the present
time.
The question before your honor-
able b ,dy at the present time 10 not
should the subsidy hsye been grant
ed, but shall default he madei
The credit OF the Government was
pied sed TO assist 10 the construction
of this railroad. Bonds were sold
and purchased by the public, aud
obligations we're entered into on the
faith of this underking on the part
OF the Govern msnt. The subsidy
therefore became part Of the ma.
tional obligations standing exactly
on the same footing as the national

t. take p aoe in the payment Of the

We therefore beg to submit this
matter to your attention in order

Are you the Thurston OF Kiheis
Are you the man OF Olsa? Are you

no longer engaged 10 law practice
and the next day cowardly hide
yourself behind your ill gotten Ger.
tifcats as lawyer in an endeavor
to escape an investigation from a
Grand Jury which you daily reviles
in your paper? Mr.. Thurston, you
have stated openly that legislators
have been brbed. Now help the
Grand Jury to ferret out toe guilty
parties, and, do not act as low
sneak who stabs in the dark but
fears to mert the blazing rays Of
Truth. Come on Mr.. l.. A. Thurs.
