the past year and accomplished much.
We secured the passage by the re-

status and material needs of the Ter

of custom in all States and Territories.
Our efforts have been confined to the
only proper and becoming channel, the
medium of our Delegate to Congress.
Bills have been introduced by the
Delegate in the House of Representa-
tives for public buildings in Honolulu
and Hilo.
Work is being done to forward meas
ures for a breakwater at Hilo.
We have endeavored to secure to
those who constitute the citizenship of
the Territory the patronage of the Ter
ritory.
We are now endeavoring to secure
to citizens the patronage of the Fed
eral government, depending more on
Executive orders than legislation.
We have and do recognize the labor
on plantations.
Our position is one of discouraging
and opposing Orientals leaving the

occupation.
Inc carrying out OF our efforts ten Is
to force the Oriental back to the plan

To all Congressman, Federal and To-

CLAIM FOOD IS VILE.
Travelling Men Enter Protest AGAINST
Starbuck Eating House.

Several travelling men who make
their headquarters here make loud
complaints about the principal eating
house at Starbuck. While there is no
lack of quantity, the quality of the
food is vile. The cook appears to be
graduate billposter, whose only ac-
complishment as a culinary artist is
the ability to make paste, every article
of food that he touches having the
same pasty flavor. When guests of
the hOstelry complain of the food set
before them, the manager of the house
remarks: Well you ought to be able
to stand it for d little while without
grumbling. l have to stand it all the
time Conductors and brakemen, who
are given the privilege of free meals at
the house as an inducement for direct
ing transients there, prefer to pay for
thir meals at Chinese restaurant
rather than be nauseated by the un-
palatable stuff served at the more pre-
tentious hotel The people in charge Of
the hotel are charming, but they do
not satisfy the appetite of hungry
man.

1t is the judgment of this court, first.
that an offense has been committed as
second. that there is probable cause
for holding the defendant, Millarl

had not produced sufficient evidence
to substantiate the charge, and that

was an accomplice, could not be ac-

of $500 on a charge of seduction pre-

resignation of Col Frank J. Hecker
of the isthmian commission is the re-
suit of serious friction in the COM

Hecker conducted himself in a man
ner calculated to arouse suspicion.
Business interests, it is said, guided
him largely in the performance of his
tuies.

dump cars, Colonel Hecker is said to
have wired friends in the United
States urging them to work up the
contract. His friends Immediately be-
