Jared
On Rubber
Industry
SAYS CAPITAL TO THE AMOUNT
OF 100000 HAS BEEN INVESTED
IN 1T HERE.

Director Jared G. Smith, of the Unit
ed states Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton returned to Honolulu yesterday
from Kahului, Maui, where he went to
attend a meeting of the rubber grow
ers of that island The meeting was
for the purpose Of effecting an organ
ization by which the rubber industry
in the Territory, which is just now
fairly under way, may be promoted.
At the present time there are three
large companies on Maui which have
gone into the business on a large scale,
and each of these was represented.
The organization was effecsed and
the following officers elected: Presi-
dent, D. c. Lindsay; vice-president, H.
A. Baldwin; secretary and treasurer,
Hugh Howell. Meetings will be held
from time to time and all matters af-
fecting the growing of rubber in the
Territory will be discussed, and the
business carried on for the mutual ad-
vantage of all. Inasmuch as the de-
mand for rubber will for a number OF
years much exceed the supply, it is
not likely that there viii be any diff
Guilty in getting good prices and ready
sale foir all that can be grown In the
Territory, and the interests Of one will
be the interests Of all who are engaged
in the business. The discussions at
the first meeting were largely OF a gen
eral character, relating to the scope of
the organization.
Director Smith, who was present to
lend such assistance as he could in
launching the new association, by way
Of suggestions. from his experience in
similar agricultural organizations, and
knowledge Of the industry in question,
speaks optimistically Of the outlook for
rubber growing. not only in the limited
sectln in which the present attempts
are being made, but throughout the
Territory generally. The only thing
about It to detract IN any way from the
bright outlook, Is the possibility OF
over-production, but this win probably
not occur, he thinks, inside OF ten
years, by which time a good deal OF
money 10 likely TO be realised by the

Trade Law
Is COMPELLED TO GO HOME ON
DORIC AND IS COMPELLED TO
PAY 5000 FINE.

Senator S. H Piles and Representa-
tives E. Y. Webb, Charles McGavin,
and ]. w. Keifer, members of the Con-
gressional party, arrived here early
this morning on the Mauna Loa from
Hawaii, where they left the remainder
of the party which will return tomor-
row on the Kinau.
In the case of Congressman Webb,
his trip ahead of the others was a
necessity as he is obliged to return to
the States as soon as possible, and
leaves on the Doric tonight. He will
go direct to his home in North Caro-
lima, where his wife is i'll, and he has
other important business demanding
mis- attention.
Mr. Webb was Obliged to agree to
forfeit the $500 fine in order to secure
passage on the Doric, which is a Brit
ish boat, and under the American
passengers between American ports.
Mr.. Webb was compelled to go, and so
forced to make the sacrifice, which he
did with poor grace. "I don't know
whether my position as. Representative
win enable me to get the 5000 refund
ed" said he, but I have to go just
the same. But it's an outrage, and
that's all can call it. I'm an Ameri-
can all right, but 1 don't believe in
robbing Peter to pay Paul, and mas
much as the American vessels are not
equal to the task of handling the traffic
of these islands, they shouldn't be al
lowed to keep the people here from get
ting any service they can. The law
might be all right in ten years from
now, but at the present time it is de-
cidedly one-sided. I'm sure the law
could be modified in Congress without
trouble if the people here would only
get busy and ask for it, but the Ameri
can shipping interests, understand
are pretty strong and it's hard to gel
UP an active campaign under such
circumstances"

CONGRESSIONAL VISITORS ARE
WARM SUPPORTERS OF THINGS
HAWAIIAN.

The four members of the Congress

this morning on the Mauna Loa, in

are enthusiastic with their trip, not
withstanding the fact that they are all
about played out from their eXertions

Those who came this morning are
senator S. II. Piles, OF Washington,
and Representatives E. Y. Webb, of
North Carolina, Charles McGavin, OF

PURSER THORN REPORTS CON-
NECTICUT MAN, WITH PRICE ON
HIS HEAD, IN CHINA.

William F. Walker, absconding treas
urer of the Savings Bank of New
Britain, Connecticut, who got away
last February with nearly half mill
lion dollars and for whose arrest re-
ward of five thousand dollars is or
fered, was for time aboard the s. S.
Doric while she was in the Orient on
this last trip and about the time that
suspicion was aroused and move was
made for his arrest he made a quick
disappearance at a Chinese port.
Purser Thorn of the Doric when that
vessel arrived in this port this after
noon from the Orient stated that Walk
er had been aboard and that he was
the man wanted in Connecticut for the
embezzlement of fortune as treasurer
of the Savings Bank of New Britain.
: Photographs and detailed descrip-
ton of Walker were received in this
city some time ago and his picture is
posted at the Judiciary building and at
the police station, with the notice OF
Sc, 900 reward for his apprehension.
Not only is $4,000 reward for his ar
rest offered, but $1,000 is offered fol

Pinkerton men are after the abscondei
and the police of all the world have
been notified in regard to his crime.
Chief of Detectives Taylor this after
noon boarded the Doric on matters con-
nected with his bureau and learned
from Purser Thorn of the appearance
and disappearance of Walker. Walker
is supposed to have passed through
here early in March.
He is 81 years of age, 5 feet, inches
in height, weighs las pounds, sallow
complexion, gray hair, blue eyes, gray

"And 1 guess we went about every
where" he added. "I think we prob
ably know the Islands better now than
half of the people who have spent their
whole lives here.
"Our trip means just about % meme
bers in Congress who will do every
thing in reason to help the Territory
of Hawaii.
1--WE have tried to see everything in
the way of improvements needed in
the Territory, and have been pretty
conscientious about it too. We have
not seen anything that Hawaii is ask
ing for that she should not have, or
that is not entirely reasonable. In fact
1 believe we will all agree that the
people here are most modest in their
wants, and I know that when Congress
is again in session that all Of us who
have been on this trip will Loyalty sup
port and work almost anything that
will help the Territory. Instead of
having one delegate to speak for you,
you will have twenty-seven.
There are some big problems to be
solved" said Mr.. Webb. land the land
question is not the least of these.
question is not the lease of these.
don't think many of us expressed our
selves on the matter very much in
speeches made during the triJ. but I
believe that the sentiment of the dele
cation is in favor of Americanizing the
Territory by means of diversified farm
ing industries. instead OF the system
of big estates as at present. I am con-
WINGED that any legislation looking to
I this end will have the support of ali
of u.s."
Regarding the entertainment on the
trip Representative Webb was profuse
in his praise. He also took occasion
to speak in the highest terms of the
service on the various Inter-Island
steamboats, which the party travelled
on, and particularly of the Mauna Loa,
on which he said the fare and accom-
modations were as good as on any boat
on which he ad ever had occasion to
! travel.

WiIIOtt And

Outlook
THEY ENDORSE THE OPINION OF
EXPERTS THAT LOW PRICES
NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR SOON.

The following is from the latest cur
rent number of willett & Gray:
RAWS.-Durlng the week under re-
view Europe has led the advance,
which has been more notable than any
rise of recent months. Beet sugar rose
from 9s. Cd. to los. OAd. (parity of 4.12c.
for Centrifugals), and cane sugar rose
Cd also, with very strong market at
the close.
Prominent sugar experts in London
have recently said that the action OF
the beet sugar market at the time of
lowest quotations, Ss. 1-2d., remaining
firm and refusing to decline further al
though Cuba quotations were forced
4Oc. per 100 lbs. lower than the beet
parity, is a good evidence that the
trend of values of sugar have COM
pletely changed. sgs
When beet sugar was at its lowest

nipulation to put it on the lower basis
of Cuba sugar. These experts main

Is the strongest sort OF evidence that
such low prices will not be seen again
for several years to come. We are in
clined to agree with this opinion and
to look for extremely prosperous con.
ditions for the whole sugar trade from

The highest level reached last yeal
for Centrifugal sugar In our market

present parity of beet sugar. but thii
season promises to exceed this leve
with Centrifugals. The Cuba weathe

"GREATER ATLANTA"
Committee Works On Plans for Ex-
 tending Limits.

Atlanta, May 11,-(Special )-"Greater Atlanta" is the battle cry which has been taken up in the capital city. and in her eagerness to grow it looks as if Atlanta were going to try to annex two or three adjoining counties.
 Wher a compromise extension of the city limits was arrived at three years ago, it was generally understood that an- other extension of the limits was to be made prior to 1910 when the next federal census will be taken. But it seeems that Atlanta cannot wait; already the demand has gone forth that the extension must be provided for by an amendment to the cit, IS charter to be secured at the com ing session of the legislature. That would provide for its going into effect in 190S or two years in advance of the census taking
 Recent agitation has resulted in the ap- pointment of a committee of forty prom inent citizens to consider and report on the matter of the extension of the city limits.

Messina, Sicily, May 11.-New craters have opened in Mounts Etna and strom- boil, whose eruptions are increasing.
 The observations of Messina and Cat ania continue to register earth shocks, but they are very light.
 The alarm of the population of this is land is growing, especially among the in- habitants of the villages in the luxuriant zone around Mount Etna, although the director of the Catania observatory which is not far from the volcano, has assured the people that they are in no danger.
 The smoke and flames issuing from the main crater of Mount Etna are visible for a long distance.
 The eruptions of the Etna and Strom- on. Quantities of red hot proiectiles are being thrown from Etna in all directions. There are continued loud explosions and earth shocks. These latter are especially severe at the Etna observatory which is at an elevation of 4000 feet and only 17O0 feet from the crater. Observatory lies about the forest district, where scarcely any animal life exists. In win ter this point is covered with snow and in summer dry lava. Frank A. Perrett left here tonight for Stromboll The latest reports from that island declare the situation to be more terrifying.

OHIO CONDITIONS CONSIDERED.
Cabinet Meeting Lasts Four Hours
 Taft Won't Talk.

Washington May 1.-The cabinet meet ing today lasted from Il until 1:45 o'clock, an unusually long time. It Is believed that that the political situation as af- fected by conditions in Ohio was thor oughly considered. None of the members would deny that 1t was not. Each one who was asked about the meeting said it did not relate particularly to business in his department. The coming confer ence of republican state leaders at Co., lumbus on May 15 is causing a great deal of interest in administration circles and from remarks made by cabinet ofncer after the meeting today, the inference is that this came up for a large share Of discussion.
 The position of the Taft people from what this member of the cabinet said IS believed to be that the presidency and senatorship In Ohio should be considered separately Secretary Taft declined to talk on the subject
