ISLAND RICE IS
MOST NUTRITIOUS

from the Bureau of Chemistry shows
that in the essential nutritive com
pounds the rice grown from the Japan
seed in the Hawaiian Islands IS su-
perior to that grown in japan. The
amount of moisture in the Hawaiian
grown rice is little less, and the fat
and heterogeneous substances somewhat
greater.
1t is evident, therefore, that there
is no basis for the statement that rice
grown in Japan is more nutritious than
that grown in these islands; IN fact the
contrary appears to be the case. The
only practical Importance which at
taches to this fact is to be sought IN
the large importation of rice from
Japan by almost every steamer from
the Orient. japanese rice IS not only
imported in large quantities, but is
eagerly sought for at price much
higher than that paid for Hawaiian
grown rice. 1t seems to be matter
Of some Importance, therefore, that the
fact of the higher nutritive value of
Hawaiian grown rice should be pub
lshed as widely as possibly in order
to correct the mistaken notion which
has hitherto prevailed, and incidentally,
check to some extent, the unnecessary
importation of large quantities OF rice
from Japan.

Grand total, Sept. |, 'OS... 3


Out in the second precinct of the
fourth district there is a little scrap on
lust now as to where the voting will
take place on Saturday. It's all over
the question of a suitable site, and +.
Buffandeau, chairman of the club,
thinks that Alabama Mitchell's old sa-
loon (now vacant) will be just the
place Here is where others don
agree with him, for that takes the vot-
ing out to Moihih, on car line where
cars run only every twenty minutes,
and-welI, they say it's almost off the
map. It's an ideal place to do politics,
however, and it is on this account that
the Mandates say the voting will have
to be held down in Pawaa. If va
cant house cannot be procured there on
Young street or Pawaa lane, they say
vote in the open shed of the Rapid
Transit Tt is likely that this ques-
ton viii come to an issue today.
Charley Clark has scented mystery
The ticket which the Bulletin printed
the other day with Charley Clark in the
running for auditor, is the result OF
collision, says Charley. on the part of
the Advertiser, and, mind you, Bernard
Kelekolio. Charley is just as sure that
the Advertiser had Bernard draw up
this ticket and then foist it on the Bull
letin as he is that he win be elected.
In other words, Charley is mistaken in
both guesses.
'.Never you mind, y said Charley
yesterday, "I'm going to make run
and good one, too, and one that will
give me victory F" But Charley is like
many other politicians-they believe

THE NEWS OF BESSEMER
By J. F. LEE.

Bessemer, July 15.-(Special.)-Th afternoon about o'clock Brick, the g. year-old son of T. M. Brock. was wad- ing in a branch near his home on Carolina avenue. near Twenty-second street and claims to have been bitten by a snake.
 He ran screaming to his home and showing his mother small puncture in the end of his toe, said that he had been bitten by snake about "so long, extending his little hands.
 DTS. Conwe1l and Gwin arrived at the home about the same time. and while no constitutional symptoms showed the wound to be snake bite, they took no chances and dressed it as one, the little fellow. in his excitement. being so positive that a snake which he plainly saw, had bitten him. The doctors dressed the wound about 4 o'clock, and returned late this evening and re- moved the bandages and found no in- flamation. It is thought that perhaps the child saw a snake, and in his fright and excitement, hurt his toe in getting out of the branch.

GUNBOAT MAY BE
 SENT TO HONDURAS

Washington July 15.-Somewhat con- cerned over the situation at Puerto Cor tez and at Ceiba, on the northern coast of Honduras, because of the threatened op- eration of the revolutionists and a possi- ble menace to American interests, the ad- minstration is considering the advis- ability of dispatching navy vessel to that coast. The gunboat Marietta, now at Porto Antonio, Jamaica, Is being held in readiness to sail if called on.
 Persistent reports of threatened revolu- tionary movements against Puerto Cortez have come to the state department, but reliable information has been difficult to obtain; consequently the officials have hesitated to send an American war ves- sel to that port. The Honduran gov ernment has a gunboat at Puerto Cortez and Senor Ugarte, the minister here, says the authorities are prepared to resist suc- cessfully any movement against that place.
 The state department has inclined to the belief that no serious danger was to be apprehended from the small parties reported to be on the northern coast, and they still express the opinion that the Honduras government will be able to handle the situation.

NO CRIME TO BET
 UNLESS RECORDED

New York, July 15-Comp1ying with
 torney Elder of Brooklyn, Police Com
 missioner Bingham, Deputy Commis-
 sioner Baker in charge of the Brook
 lyn office, and Sheriff Hobley of Kings
 county, appeared before the Kings
 county grand jury today to testify
 about the charge that the police have
 been negligent in enforcing the anti
 betting laws at the race tracks. Dis-
 trict Attorney Elder said emphatical-
 ly that subpoenas had not been issued to compel the presence of the men. Upon leaving the jury room at the end of an hour Commissioner Bingham gave an interview in which he frankly admitted that betting still goes on at the race tracks, but the police would not make arrests unless bets were re- corded. He explained that the police are guided in their action by the ad- vice of the corporation counsel and the decision of Justice Bish off and that so
 long as oral wagers are made and not recorded no arrests will be made. "It Is no crime for me to say l bet you $10 and such and such a horse and then hand you the money" said the commissioner.
 Unless you record the pet, no crime has been committed" he added. William Dubois, chief of the club house commissioners. was arrested t
 Brighton Beach track today. This is
 the most important arrest made so far
 in the anti betting campaign. It is al-
 legged he accepted a bet from Frank
 Taylor, the man who trains Dubois
 h orse. Dubois Is the bondsman for
 nearly all the bookmakers who are un-
