POPULATION Is
GOING AHEAD
Steady Increase in Number OF
Whites With Certainty
of Many More.

With the growth of the japanese
population of Honolulu and the. grad
ual advances of the japanese camps
throughout all parts of the city, it has
been generally regarded by many that
the white population must necessarily
have decreased, crowded out. This is
not the opinion of those best in G po-
sition to know, however, their claim
being that there has been a gain IN
the number of whites in the city dur
ing the past five years, a gain every
year, while it is certain that the open
ing of work at Pearl Harbor and the
manning of the great naval station
there will increase the white popula-
tion of the city at a very substantial
rate.
"The growth in the white population
of the city during the past few years
has been such that at the present time
there are practically no houses in good
localities that can be had for rent,
says William T. Lucas, manager of the
firm of Henry May & Co., in discuss
ing the question. "six years ago there
were scores and scores of empty houses
all over town, good houses in good To-

WHAT VOTERS
MUST SWEAR To
New Form of Affidavit For
the Applicants For
Registration.

new form of affidavit on applica-
ton for registration has just been
framed and approved by the Governor
and will be used in the registration of
voters for the coming election. 1t diff
fers quite materially from the one
that has been in use, in two particu-
lars. In the first place it is drawn so
as to make it comply strictly with the
franchise right as defined by the Or,
ganic Act. The applicant has to state
that he is not in the Territory by rea-
son of being in the Army or Navy of
the United States or by reason of be-
ing attached to troops in the service
of the United States. The applicant
is also required to state that he has
law-of any criminal offense punish
able by Imprisonment for term ex-
ceeding one year without having been
pardoned therefor and restored to civil
rights. The second particular in which
this form differs from that in use in
the past is that the oath is more ex.
plicit. In the new form the applicant
has to swear conditionally to the truth
of the statements made, while in the

The Territorial grand jury meets at

Throne room of the Capitol for the ex-
press purpose of investigating the
Iauk -Tsoi incident.
The session today is at the instance
of the grand jury itself which was IN
session on Wednesday engaged with
some minor eases. At that session,
however. it was decided by the body
to take up the inquiry into the Iaukea-
Isoi matter and adjournment until this
morning was taken for that purpose.
Subpoenas have been issued and
served on Iaukea, Isoi, Townsend and
Mrs Isoi, and they are expected to ap-
pear before the grand jury to answer
all questions that may be asked of
them in regard to this matter. As
there have been interviews with Isoi

Governor Frear is preparing his elec.
tion proclamation, and it will be issued
as soon as the petitions concerning
changes of election precincts and poll
places are acted on. The Governor is
now considering these, and will be very
glad to hear from any voters or organ
ization who may have any suggestions
to make. There are no requests for
changes from Kauai or Hawaii, but
there are number from Oahu and
Maui, and some of these are quite i'm
portant, and all are interesting.
Probably the most important request
is one made by voters of the first and
second precincts of the Fourth Repre-
sentative district. These voters ask for
very vital change in the precinct
boundaries of these two precincts.

A. B. Leekenby, scientific farmer,
who has just returned from an extend
ed trip about the island, addressed the
members of the Promotion Committee
yesterday on the results of his obser-
vations and the possibilities for diver
sified agriculture noted by lin on his
trip. The report made was one of
interest and value, the trained eyes of
the expert having noted much in the
way of possibilities that have passed
without exciting interest OF comment
with the old timer.
The immense possibilities for work
ing up a valuable industry through the
cultivation of the hau tree for its fiber
and the manufacture of rope, twine
and thread from this were dwelt on at
length, the expert deeming this to be
of the very highest Importance. He
exhibited section of rope made from
twisted hau fiber, rope which had
been put to the hardest kind of usage
for the past year, yet which showed
no sign of fraying, rotting or wearing
out A manila rope used in the same
way would be hard or rotted by now.
"Fiber men have been securing the
world for material of this kind and
have never been able to find it, - ex-
planned Mr.. Leckenhy. Here is
fiber, easily grown and prepared, tongh
and strong as anv and which will not
rot. It is exceedingly valuable and
there is a possibility for valuable in
dustry in it for these islands. For
certain uses it will have high value

Mr.. Chas. Roe:
ARE AFTER WILLIAM c. ROE

The latest Candidate for "SHER.
IFF' is WILLIAM C. ROE of the Ho-
nolu1u Iron Works; his name is being
considerably discussed by the Politi-
clans who intend to support him. The
forerunners of different political fac.
tions have been feeling the strength
of their parties, and found that Roe
was being spoken of as the right man
for Sheriff. At any rate in case Roe
consents to run, for SHERIFF" of
the County of Oahu for $50, it would
make the race very interesting. So far
as the Labor Party is concerned it is
said that it would endorse him.

SOME INSIDE SCHEMES THAT

could at least earn living for them

In other places the estimates are made
and the tax rate struck on that by the
counties, proportion going to the cen

PRACTICAL +" POLITICS.
Talk of this kind will not go far po-
litically in Oahu, however, The ones
who are most active politically cannot
be bothered with questions So. alb
struse as tax rate. What is of para
mount Importance is not SO much where
the money comes from as where it pSes.
The income and inheritance tax opes-
tlons pale before the question of tbs
payment of road workers, and the great
land question, boosted as it is by some.
after all cuts less ice with the onos at
