OIL STORAGE

Committees of the House and Senate
have investigated the conditions sur
rounding the oil tanks at Iwilei, and
it is reported that there will be in
troduced legislation covering the pres
ence of the oil storage reservoirs within
the city. and the safeguards which
should surround them.
The House Committee looked over the
six tanks now there, tanks having a
combined capacity of 10000 barrels
and tried in several ways to burn some
of the oil finding that it is practically
impossible to secure ignition by ordi-
nary means. The committee has had
no meeting to consider its report as yet,
but will go into the matter fully hav-
ing reports of oil experts to guide them
The oil men contend that there is no
danger from the tanks. owing to the
fact that the oil is very heavy and
gives off no gas at all, and in eonse-
quence there is no danger of fire, I'M
less there should be a stroke of light
ming to burst a tank. The fact is that
the oil tanks and the contents. are in
sured at the rate of IL per cent, which
is much less than is carried on bust
ness property. and the nearest neighbor
Of the tanks, the Fertilizer works. will
soon receive a reduction in its insur-
ance, by reason of improvements.

WALL BUILT
UPON SAND
Government Wants Kerr
to Vacate Sand
Strip.

A concrete retaining wall which L. B
Kerr has erected on the seward side
of his Waikiki beach premises has
caused Attorney General Andrews to
file suit against him in the Circuit
Court to compel him to remove it. The
wall is 10 feet long, two feet thick
and five feet high and is alleged to
have been erected far out to sea be-
yond the original lines of Mr~ Kerr's
property on said accretions which have
been washed up by the waves and surf
The Attorney General sets forth in
his petition to the court that Mr.. Kerr
is in possession of, and claims in fee
simple certain piece of land at Wal
kiki, a portion of which was conveyed
to David Kawananakoa and Jonah Ka-
lanianaole on August 30, 1902. Makai
of the sea-ward or sea-frontage the
land has been enlarged by the gradual
accretion Of sea-sand to such an ex-
tent that the original high water mark
is now far beyond the makai or sea-
ward of the present makai line of the
Waikiki road.
The Attorney General sets forth that
the title TO public lands of this kind
rests in the United States as the sue
cessor of the Hawaiian Monarchy and
the Republic of Hawaii and that the
right of control is now vested in the
Territory of Hawaii. On February 10.
1903. Mr.. Kerr began the construction
of the wall above named and it is al
legged to be about 1876 feet makai of the
ordinary high water mark on the Dia-
mond Head side. The erection of the

Modern science has discovered that
dandruff is caused by germ that digs

destroys the hairs vitality, causing
falling hair. and. ultimately, badness.

tion was also mentioned, but in this
matter the president had already made
up his mind, and as the labor leaders
left the white house a statement was
issued setting forth the presidents
views on a subject which has occupied
several months. The president said
that Foreman Miller could not be dis
missed on the charges made by the
book binders union, and that there
could be no discrimination in gov
.ernment employ between union and
.non-unio labor. He argued that he
could no more consider the fact that
a man was a member of a union than
that he was white or colored, Protes-
tant or Catholic, Jew or GENTLE. The
labor leaders could hardly conceal
their disappointment at this ultima
tum, but they are very guarded in
their criticisms of President Roose-
Welt. The day following the confer
ence they issued a statement "TO Or
ganized Labor of America. - 1t said
in part: "In view of the publicity
given this subject (the Miller case
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor takes this oppor-
tunity to say that the trade union
movement stands for strictly union
shops, experience having proved that
where the "open shop" system has
been tried reduction in wages and pro-
fits has ensued, with general disaster
to the industry practicing that system
md therefore declares that the best in

It will be seen that while the state

president, it nevertheless declares that
union labor stand by the principle of
no "open shops. " The question will
doubtless be discussed at the annual
convention of the American Federation
of Labor, which meets in Boston on
November 8. Many politicians believe
that the question of "open shop" in
government employ will be factor
in the coming presidential campaign.

Sir Herbert was only 46 years of age,
which is very young for the important
post with which he was intrusted
Although he was ambassador in Wash
ington but few monthes he settled
with Mr.. Herbert Bowen the Difficult
ties arising from the attack of the
allies in Venezuela, and also negotia-
ted with Secretary Hay the treaty un-
der which the Alaskan boundary COM
mission is now sitting in London. He
had served in Washington twice be-
fore, married an American, and was a

whom he had known for many years.

Robert p. Skinner, our consul gen.
eral in Marseilles, France, is now in
Washington completing arrangements
for his trip into Abyssinia, where lie
is going for the purpose of inviting
King Menelik to visit the st. Louis
exposition, and to make a commercial
agreement with the United States.
Mr.. Skinner has been presented to
President Roosevelt, who takes great
interest in the expedition, and who
will send a message of friendship to
the negro ruler. An American war
ship will take Mr.. Skinner to the
nearest port, and body of United
States marines will escort him OH his
journey to the capital of Abyssinia.
The European press insists that this is
the first step for an American invasion
of Africa, but it forgets that One-third
of the goods that are imported into
Abyssinia come from the UnitedStates,
and that it is but natural that we
should establish diplomatic and con-
sular relations with the buyers of our
products. More than 30, 900, 600 of
cotton goods are sent from this country
each year to the subjects of King
Menelik. In return for these and
other goods we get ivory, hides, carpet
woods, and other raw materials. Con-
sular Skinner will reach his destina-
tion sometime in November, and he
hopes to increase greatly the avolume
of our trade with this distant and
country.
