MEASURES OF RELIEF
Railway Managers Are After Better
Steel-Problem Great
One.

During the month of February the
railroads of the United States were,
1t is estimated, nearly 10000 cars
short OF the demands made upoa
them by the actual traffic offered for
transportation. This amazing fact
was given TO the American Railway
association at its closing session, AMI
the knowledge of it won the day for
some drastic measures to correct the
evil.
The problem of car shortage, the
operating men declared, it today the
greatest and gravest which the rail-
roads have to face and to solve. It
was stated that a searching investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that the car
shortage is not due to decreased car
efficiency, as the records showed tina.
the average daily movement of all
freight cars had been 25.4 miles. It
was therefore concluded that the
shortage is due to the extraordinary
increase in the demands made upon
the railroads.
Measures of Relief Proposed.
The committee has reported that it
had confirmed the general opinion
that great deal can be accomplished
to improve the situation which has
been effecting a partial paralysis of
the business of the country: First, by
the railroads themselves; second, by
the railroads in their relations to the
public, and third, by the railroads ii
their relations with each other.
The question of increasing publ.
safety has been an engrossing topic
at the American Railway associa-
ton. 1t was said in report adopted
today that many of the recent dis
astrous wrecks could be traced di-
rectly to imperfect rails, and these,
it is said, could be traced to undue
haste in the steel mills in filling or
ders.
Demand for Better Rails.
Railway managers have made it
plain to the makers of steel rails in
this country that they want some
thing as good as that furnished the
Canadian Pacific-admittedly the
best rails in the world. Samples of
these rails have been sent to the stee.
trust mills, together with the FORM
ula of their manufacture, accompan-
led by an invitation-which amounts
to an ultimatum-to produce bet
ter rail, or at least one as good.
A reply was received through the
Frick mills that the Canadian rails
or formula could not be improved
upon and that the product was as
perfect as the science of the age
could make 1t. 1t was explained That
when these rails are made they are
subjected to a most rigid test in or
der to get as near absolute safety
as possible. The samples are frozen
with liquid air to temperature OF
200 degrees below zero and then bat :,
tered with trip hammer. Batches
which do not stand this test are re-
jected. Consequently broken rails
are practically unheard of in Canada.

The remark was recently made, no
doubt thoughtlessly, that certain news
in rhe Star was unauthorized In
asmuch as the criticism appeared in
print and reached many people, think
it not out of place for The Man About
Town. whose friends will admit his
long experience and have always had
great faith in what he had to say, to
put to press a few ideas.
The day may be approaching when
unauthorized" news will be possible,
but at the present stage of the news
PAPER science there is little that ap-
pears in as reliable a paper as The
Hawaiian Star that is not authorized,
not in the sense that the critic would
have it but in the broad sense that
what is news is necessarily authorized
news, authorized for the reason that it
is the fact
When psychological science reaches
the stage when a newspaper reporter
can be sent to a man sought to be in
terviewed and that man refuses to
have a word to say, but the reporter
takes a photograph of his thoughts and
publishes in his paper the picture Of
that mans thoughts, revealing to the
public his Utmost secret mind, then,
say, such news would be entirely un-
authorized. When that stage is reach
ed there may be no need of newspapers
but until that development is accom-
plished all truth that does not tend to
lead to crime is authorized for publica-
ton because it is the truth. If Jones
contemplates robbing a bank and re-
porter can expose the fact it is au-
thorized information; if Mrs. Billing
son plans a divorce on the ground Of
non-atfinity, such news is certainly
authorized.
Honolulu wants too much of a certain
brand of authorization" which means
Lothing more nor less than the permits
sion of some timid "tabbies,' male and
female, to print what everybody is
talking about.
Authorization" has nothing to do
witt news, as such, but is specially re-
later to oficialdom. For example:

I am for Roosevelt In giving the

My esteemed friend c. r. auckland,
editor of the Hawaii Herald, has writ
ten letter to the Hon. r. D. Lydecker
which am sorry to say borders on the
profane. 1t deals with some tables
which Lydecker sent. Lydecker, be
it known, keeps track of tides, and
supplies the press with tables showing
the exact hour of low and high tide,
moon risings, sun risings, etc. If the
reader will take look at the table on
page two of The Star he will see what
kind of table 1t is. By request Ly-
decker sent one to auckland, but of
course it had to be changed for HilO, to
make up for the difference in time.
auckland sent for one corrected. 1t
went back, all decorated up with fig
ures. 1t was then that auckland
wrote the profane letter. He wanted
to know if Lydecker was trying to
drive him crazy. He said that he
tackled the table many times and then
had put in day trying to put pigs in
clover by way of training, but he had
ing Lydecker, for anyone who can give
auckland anything in the way of
tables or statistics which he does not
enjoy eating up it a peach.

TOWN TALK
By THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.

An interesting story comes from
Waialua-one which throws some light
on "the change of front in regard to
the appointment of Arthur Brown, as
prosecuting officer in the police court
Roast Pig" was the immediate cause,
with nice cold bottles to follow. In
other words, at least three of the super
visors were won over by the insidious
influence of a generous "luau." OF
course, arguments on the side were
made THAT Cathcart had a right to
appoint his Deputies that the sup
ervisors had no right to butt in Be
tween bites, these poisonous shafts
took effect and when the party broke
up the supervisors decided that Brown
was a good man and he ought to have
the salary that goes with the job.
The luau took place near Waialua on
Sunday, the 2nd inst; The feast was
prepared by some of the Holt boys, AID
ed by Arthur Brown and John Cathcart
the county attorney The nosts were
at the Waialua Hotel when the train
arrived; they greeted Sam Dwight,
who journeyed down the road to in
spect some county work, so he told
his friends. Later, it developed that
he was an expected guest. Two other
supervisors were on hand and soon the
party left for the scene of the luau.
L.,
was promised the job.
1t is only fair to state that Cathcart
did not attend the luau 1t appears
that one of the hosts, or a relation,
was to be prosecuted next day on a
charge of stealing cattle-Cathcart was
to prosecute.

An unusual number of Hawaiians

Along the Kakaako reef last night
were some twenty torches and more

looking for cells. Everyday on the

This means a smaller sale at the
fishmarkets without any decrease in

crease in fish eating and a dropping off
in the purchase of meat. Some of
the kamaainas say that the fish are

claim that cash is scarce and the ma

pleasure with substantial results.
