MANY HOTELS FOR
THE JAPANESE

HONOLULU, Jan. 22.-There are now
twenty-five Japanese hotels in Homo
lulu, with three more being built.
There were only eleven year ago.
Formerly all the Japanese hotels were
controlled by single company,
amounting to practically a trust, but
the increased business OF the past
twelve months has induced opposition,
another strong company entering the
business and having now more than
half the trade. These hotels are not
supported by the resident Japanese, but
solely by those coming into the country
and by those drifting in from the plan
tations to leave for the coast.
The law restricting the recruiting of
labor for the mainland has shut off the
commissions of many Of the hotelkeep-
ers. although it is stated that. despite
the law, many of the hotels have their
runners out among the camps inducing
the laborers to leave, picturing the bet
ter times in store for all who can man
age 10 reach San Francisco. During
the months of February, March and
April IL is expected that many recruit
ing agents from the coast will be at
work among the Hawaiian Japanese
and an extra large emigation coast
ward may be looked for.

MAUNA LOA LIGHTS
HAWAIIAN ISLES
Great Mountain Is in Erup-
ton Again and Specta-
Gle Entrances Populace
RIVER OF FIRE RUNS
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE CALL

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE CALL
HONOLULU. Jan. 16.-At midnight.
Wednesday, January 9, the people of
nearly all parts of Hawaii awoke to
the realization that the splendid spec
tacie of an outbreak of Mauna Loa
was before them. In Hawaii volcanic
activity is never dreaded; it is always
welcomed. 1t means a spectacle as
long as it lasts, Incompatible, ma gnif-
cent-and so far as the experience of
hundred years goes, without danger
to life-almost without danger to
property.
From the summit of Mauna Loa. a
vast dome which rears itself from a
base fifty miles in diameter and in
cludes almost half of the Island of
Hawaii. to height of 1855 feet above
sea level, a great glow began to be
seen. 1t rose in an immense column
OF light, rejecting from the overhang-
ing clouds. and seeming to spread out
over a large area of the zenith. Where
the column left the mountain IT seemed
almost white in the intensity of light.
AS IT rose and spread out in refiec-
ton on the clouds it assumed a deeper.
redder tinge.
The great column of light, did not
burst into view suddenly The column
of light, a shaft at first, grew in size
and brightness for several hours. To
those who have seen eruptions of
Mauna Loa, it told it's own story.
Somewhere near the summit of the
great mountain the molten lava had
broken out in a fiery stream, form
ing first a cone, and then, bursting
through the side of this, had started
as a river Of fire and lava down the
ntly>sloping side of the mountain.
This wonderful spectacle was visible,
as it has now been ascertained, for a
distance of a hundred miles in every
direction, except where great cloud
banks piled by the trade winds on
some parts of the mountains shoulder,
intercepted the view.
In reaching the sea the lava stream
crossed the Government road which
runs along the whole western and
southern slope of Mouna Loa at an alti-
tude of about 400 feet. 1t flowed
mainly through Kahuku Ranch, do
main of 1876, 900 acres, much OF it bar
rem and useless. Some pasture lands
have been destroyed, but the damage
is not great.

LANE FINDS CRAFT
Of TRA|NMEN
Lumber-Mill Owners Com
PEELED to Pay Railroad
Employees to Obtain Cars
PRACTICE is COMMON

SEATTLE. Jan. 22.-Evidence in
dicating that lumbermen have been
paying money to railroad employees to
have cars spotted" on their tracks
was introduced before Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Franklin X.
Lane this afternoon at the hearing into
the car shortage question. Charles z.
Patton. president, of the Reliance Lum-
Der Company and vice president and
secretary of the Atlas Lumber and
Single Company, made the statement
during the course of his examination.
His evidence caused sensation.
Patton had been giving facts and
figures showing that there was an
apparent discrimination in the distribu-
ton of cars among the mills at Ia
coma.
How do you account for this dis
elimination" asked Commissioner
Lane.
only that somebody was buying
cars" replied the witness.
What is a common salutation among
lumbermen, concerning this purchase
of cars?' asked Austin r. Griffith, who
was conducting the examination for
the lumbermen.
We'll. a very common salutation
among lumbermen is What is the price
today?'" replied Patton. The price
of cars runs from 81 to IS a car. The
practice on the part of the railroad
employees in selling cars has been elm
mated in the northern part of the
State, but still fiourishes in the south"
How common is that salutation
among the lumbermen?" queried Com
missioner Lane
"Oh. it is very common" replied the
witness. 1T is almost a joke. Some
weeks ago the superintendent of our
mill at Tacoma saw a very large car
being switched around. He asked the
conductor If we were going to get that
car. The conductor asked him how
much it was worth to him. I had given
strict orders that we were not to buy
any cars, and the superintendent said
that, while we wanted that car pretty
badly, we were not going to pay for
it. The conductor said that 1t was
worth $40 to him, and we did not get
the car"
On cross examination z. ]. Cannon,
attorney for the Northern Pacific,
wanted to learn the names of the ship
pers who had paid for cars. and the
names of employees who mad received
the money. Commissioner Lane de-
INJURED about going into these details.
and remarked that they are for the
railroad company to investigate
But we dispute that any such prac-
tice exists said Cannon.
"The commission has testimony from
all over the country that the practice
is a pretty universal one" said Com
missioner Lane.
A multitude OF witnesses testified
before Commissioner Lane today about
car shortage and the Gripping effect
1T has had upon the industries of the
State Not only were lumbermen put
on the stand, but Senator Paulhamus
told of the sufferings OF the Puyallup
ry-growers, and the troubles OF the
wheat farmers of Eastern W ashington
were gone into.

SCHOOL BOARD TO
ABOLISH ''FRATS"
Former President Altman
Takes Initiative and Will
Introduce a Resolution
VERDICT UNANIMOUS

While the body of Jeanne Mcneil, the
schoolgirl who committed suicide Sat
urday because of woes created through
the school fraternity. was being re-
duced to ashes in the Odd Fellows
crematory yesterday, former President
Altman of the Board of Education
was framing a resolution he will pre-
sent at the next meeting Of the board,
Thursday. abolishing fraternities from
the public schools.
All the members of the board eX-
pressed the opinion that secret societies
among children are demoralizing and
there is no doubt that the order will be
issued.
Altman said:

board we had constant trouble with the frater-
nal societies. There disposition among
the members OF these organizations to override

board is in harmony with me in the matter, the

something which should have been done before,
but the initiative was never taken.
Lawrence F. Walsh, another member
of the board, said:

SENATE VOTES FOR
INQUIRY ON RIOTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Senate
today passed the compromise Foraker
resolution authorizing the committee
on military affairs TO investigate the
facts Of the ARRAY at Brownsville on
the nights Of August 10 and IA last
without questioning the legality or
justice Of any act Of the President in
relation to or connected with that
ARRAY" This action came after the
subject had been under consideration
almost daily since the first day Of
the present session of Congress and
every phase of the question had been
discussed on all sides.
Before the adoption Of the resolu-
tons several substitute measures were
voteh down. One by Senator Mallory,
declaring that the President had au-
thority for his course and acted justly,
was tabled by a vote Of 43 to % An
other, by Senator McCumber, simply
providing for an investigation without
reference to the President in any man
ner, was tabled by vivi voce vote. A
third, by Senator Culberson, simply in
dorsing the Presidents action and pro-
viding for no investigation, was tabled
by a roll-call vote Of 46 TO l9. There
was no record vote on the resolution
adopted.
Senator Sutherland occupied the first
three hours Of the days session in de-
lkeIluB MS lESL speech IN Lnt SENATE.
Ii was in behalf OF the right of Reed
SmOOt OF his own State to a seat in the
Senate. The Brownsville debate then
followed, Senators taking the oppor-
tunity TO explain the vote they should
cast on the resolution.
Mallory offered a subtitute for the
Foraker compromise Brownsville reso-
luton. 1t provided for an investiga-
ton, after resolving as follows:
an. bc frsEr ~ 4 he -
the recent action of the President in
discharglng without honor enlisted
men Of Companies b. c and d of the
Twenty fifth Infantry was within the
scope Of his authority and power and
the proper exercise thereof"
Senator Teller opposed the idea ad-
vanced in a recent speech by Senator
Lodge that the President Inherited
power from the King This was a new
doctrine and the Colorado Senator said
he could see how IL might become popu-
lar in some localities.
While willing to have an investiga-
/ ton TO secure the facts OF the Browns
Vile ARRAY, Teller said he could not
support any provision with any ex-
preston either way as to the Presi-
dents authority in the matter. The
Senate, he believed, should not raise
that question at any time.
Senator Bacon Of Georgia supported
the Mallory substitute. He charac-
terized the agreement among the Re
publicans on the Foraker resolution
as an illustration of their extreme
dexterity in forming measures for
which they can all vote. although
some Of them directly opposed in senti-
ment, as in the matter TO which that
resolution relates"
Foraker, replying TO Bacon, re-
viewed the history Of the Brownsville
/ controversy in the Senate to show that
1 the question OF the Presidents power
had been raised by the message the
/ President had sent TO the Senate on
/ December II last. Foraker maintained
] that from the beginning all he had
contended for was the facts

BERKELEY, Jan. 22.-WIth the
declaration that high school fraternitfes
are undemocratic and Prejudicial to
good order and discipline, the Board of
Education took action tonight by which
members of such organizations are to
be barred from participation In all
school activities, athletics, gIee clubs,
journalism, debating societies and the
like. The name of the Berkeley High

connection with any society of pupils.
Drastic resolutions were adopted of
such range and tenor that the result is
to bar any fraternity member from the
usual school affairs, in short, to vIr-
tuaIIy demand the withdrawal from
STRAIT associations or withdrawal from
the school.
