MAJOR WALLER
DENIES ATROCITIES

TANNED IN MILES REPORT.

NEW YORK. April 3O.-,Maior Little
ton Waller of the United States Marine
Corps, who was brought before a court
martial on the charge of cruelty to the
t1upinos, has made a comprehensive
statement of his side of the case. saws

MANY DESERT
FROM THE NAVY
\ HUNDRED AND FIFTY LEAVE
MARE ISLAND IN \ MONTH
COMPLAINTS ABOUT RATIONs.

MARE ISLAND, April 29.--The epi-
demic of assertions from the United
States navy continues. and this months
report beats all previous records. One
hundred and fifty men failed to return
to the receiving ship Independence
since last pay day. The enlisted men
upon being questioned for reason for
this alarming condition of things one
and all claim that inferiority and in
sutiiciency of rations is the sole cause.
Many of them referred to the training
ship Mohican's log to prove their state
ment. On that ship an eX-apprentice
is the commissary, and so satisfactory
is his administration that assertions
are most infrequent. The torpedo boat
Perry also has a good record, and they
point to the fact that the commissary
there is also highly capable.
The seat of the trouble, therefore,
seems to be in the matter of food dis
tribution. over $500 enlisted men have
deserted the ranks since the beginning
of the year.

The House developed many differ

proprations and much discussion re-
suited, with many failures to decide
anything except that more committee
reports were wanted The idea of
finishing the session in anything like
fifteen days has been altogether given
up.
The items of 100000 for segregation,
support and maintenance of lepers and
ST, $50 for Kalaupapa store, were re-
considered on motion of Paele, who
wanted to make allowance for larger

horse and to require not less than three
horses to enter and start in each race
and as an inducement for horsemen to
bring their horses stall rent will be
charged only to owners of winners.
In addition to the racing events there
will be other attractions which should
bring a large crowd to Hilo. The
events will all be in the hands of the
committee and prizes will be offered
for base ball and polo matches as well
as for brOncho riding and roping and
tying steers.
The ceremonies attending the formal
breaking ground of the Kohala- Hilo
railway will be made interesting. There
will be speeches, recitations, vocal
selections and choruses and instru-
mental music by the Hilo band. The
barbecue will be an interesting feature;
at least three steers will be roasted on
the spits and the meat will be served
to the audience.
1t was the intention of the committee
to have the railway exercises and bar
becue in Puueo on ground owned by
Admiral Beckley but Mr.. Kennedy sug-
gested that it would be more conve-
nient for the public to have these on
a lot at Waiakea now under lease to
the Kohala-HilO railway. This sug-
gestion won immediate approval of the
committee and there is no doubt that
1t will be acted upon.-Hawaii Herald.

From New York to the Pacific Coast
the message will go by the land lines of
the Postal and thence to Mania by the
Commercial cable lines. At Manila it
will be taken up by the Eastern and
hurried on to London, where it will be

In its travels the message will make

most of this has been worked out al
ready and the rest will be cared for
long before the date for the trial.

A PERMANENT EXHIBIT.

! EDITOR STAR 1t appears to me
that there exists an essentially obvious
/ necessity for the combined efforts of
the Merchants and others interested in
property on these islands to execute
some systematic method whereby de-
sirable immigration and capital may be
induced to come to these islands. The
desired result can only be offered by the
concerted action of the business men
here. 1t would not do to indulge in
any eXtravhgant boom tactics, but
merely to place more prominently be-
fore the people at large the particular
merits. A permanent exhibit should
, be maintained in one of the stores on
our principal streets, this EXHIBIT should
be maintained by subscription either
under the auspices of the Chamber of
Commerce or a Board of Trade should
be organized to be known as the Board
of Trade of the Hawaiian Islands or a
Bureau of Information. There, all pro-
ducts of the islands available should be
exhibited together with statistical in
formation gratitiously given under the
auspices or supervision of a thorough
and capable manager well informed on
the islands.
Each arriving vessels should be
visited and an invitation extended to
each passenger to visit this exhibit;
and with the thousands who pass
through some good is sure to result.
Every day some new product of the
islands comes before me, and what lit
tie must the tourist who rushes through
see 1t is impossible for him to know
the advantages. But were this perma-
nent exhibit to be established it would
render valuable assistance.
All petty feeling of jealousy should be
laid aside This movement should
Jointly be acted upon by all interested
in the Hawaiian islands both capital
and proper immigration are waiting to
enter these islands If properly en-
couraged. Let the good work go on.

THE NEW WHITE HOUSE.
Expense Of Keeping it Up Have About

\ bill for increasing the salary of the
president from $4,000 to $4,000 follows
appropriately enough on the report to
Congress of Col Theodore Bingham
superintendent of pubnc buildings and
grounds in Washington. He said among
other things
The recent changes in the White
House have resulted in a building far
more expensive to maintain than for
merly. The character of tne new fit
tings and new furnishings is such that
repairs and replacing will be more eX-
pensive than before and It will be more
expensive to replace specially designed
silver doorknobs and escutcheons, sill
yer and gilt hinges, etc. Hardwood
floors and thing will require extra labor
to keep in order More help will be
needed in the laundry. owing to the
large family which occupies the White
House and the large amount of enter
tanning done.
Accordingly he asks an appropriation
of $l10,264 for the White House for the
coming year, instead of $50. 600 which
was the appropriation for the present
year. 1t might be said that as the
costs of keeping the house in repair
have trebled, the cost of keeping the
president in repair may be cons dered
as having at least doubled.
