MERCHANTS
SATISFIED WITH TRADE

The prohibition put upon the emf
grafton of japanese laborers from
their home country by the Japanese
Government has not hurt the business
of the Honolulu japanese wholesalers.
On the contrary, the prohibition being
the result of the exclusion of Japa-
nese from Hawaii to the mainland, the
business among the Japanese mer-
chants and storekeepers throughout
the Territory is today on a ffrmer and
better basis than ever. The retail
dealer has a staple class to deal with
and is not hampered by having to de-
pend upon a shifting population. Con-
seouently there are fewer chances for
him to lose through bad debts and is
therefore entitled to better credit from
his wholesaler, who on his part feels
safer in allowing credits. This is the
concensus of opinion among the lead
ing japanese wholesalers of Honolulu,
expressed in denial of the published
statements TO the contrary.
The reason the japanese merchants
are not importing to any great extent
at the present time is because of the
heavy overstocking done during the
month of December, in which month
the sailing of three tramp steamers
for Hawaii from Japan forced cut
in freight. rates. In that month three
full cargoes in addition to 1000 tons
brought on the Mongolia stocked the
Japanese warehouses to the caves.
These cheaper freights enabled the
merchants to sell lower and this has

resulted in an apparent price cutting
and sacrificing.
The months Of January. February
and March are always slack in Japa-
nese trade. For one thing, the New
Year time draws a large amount of
money out of the country. remittances
being sent to relatives at home. The
month of February, too, brings the
little red poll tax receipts in the pay
envelopes of the Japanese laborers.
and this cuts down the amount CT
money in circulation appreciably.
From April to October business
will be good again, while for the year
the average imports and the average
business will be found equal to IL not
above the averages last year.
These opinions are those of Manager
Arai of the Hamano Stores; Yama-

great, but the fund for transportation
is shy.
r. D. Mead, they said, on behalf Of
the planters, offered them $24 month,
provided they proved themselves ca
pable laborers. In addition to this
they were to be furnished with houses
and furniture, wood, water, and med
ica1 attendance, and a cook for every
twenty of them, the cook to receive
the same wages as a field laborer. If
they did not prove themselves capable
laborers they were to get only $22, $50
or S1S a month, whatever the going
wages are.
The wages were satisfactory, they
said. Times were so hard in Califor-
mia that they could not make that
much money But the hitch came on
the question of transportation. The
planters would not furnish transpor-
tation from San Francisco here. The
men did not have the money to come
themselves, and therefore they would
have to go back TO their countrymen
in Chico, their mission failure.
The Hindus who came here few
weeks ago from the Orient have Sc
cured employment in Kohaia, 1t is
said.

PICKING COMMITTEE
NAMES IN SECRET

Because Of objections made by j. F.
Morgan, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, and George w, Smith,
president of the Merchants Associa-
ton, the representatives of the press
were excluded from the meeting of the
two with the Secretary of the Terri
tory yesterday afternoon, the meeting
being called to lay the preliminary
plans for the entertainment of the fleet
during its stay in Honolulu. Accord
ing to the message delivered from be-
hind the closed door of the Secretary's
office, where the trinity deliberated in
their secrecy, the two presidents "did
not consider it necessary that any re-
porters should be admitted
The need for the caution exhibited by
the two gentlemen could be neither
ascertained nor surmised. Mr.. Smith,
after the meeting stated that all that
was done was to go over the list of
names suggested for members of the
general committee and decide on the
eligible ones, dividing these also into
subcommittee 1t is expected that
this work will be finished today and
the committee lists handed out for the
papers to publish.

Pooran Singh and Diwan Chang, the
representatives of a hundred turbaned
Hindus in California, return to San
Francisco by the S. S. Mongolia to-
day, to tell their compatriots that they
have been unable to make arrange
ments to secure them work in the
cane fields of Hawaii.
Pooran Singh and Diwan Chand ar
rived here by the S. s. China last
Monday. They have been for the past
two years in the beet sugar region
of Chico, California. Hard times,
however, have struck California as
they have the Bowery, and work be-
came scarce for Hindus as well as for
others. The word that laborers We're
wanted for the Hawaiian cane fields
reached these Hindus in Chico, and
they made up purse to send Pooran
Singh and Diwan Chand down here TO
see if work could be secured. They
came on the China, as has been
stated. They went to the planters
labor agency and told their story.

day afternoon, the harvest truly Is

SECRETARY ICHIkAWA
LEAVES FOR THE COAST

He had large part in the negotia-
tions which led to the treaty of Ports
mouth His services were recognized
not only in Japan and in America, but
in every foreign office in the world, as
eff the greatest possible value.
Mr.. Ichikawa is linguist of very
great ability. Besides japanese and
English, he speaks the Korean Ian
guage, and he has been of very great
service to the courts here in Honolulu
and to the civil authorities in mat
ters where a knowledge of the Ko-
rean language is necessary. He has
been very generous, as has the Japa-
nese Consul General. in placing his
linguistic accomplishments at the SER
vice of the local authorities.
Mr.. Ichikawa has many friends here
among the English-speaking commu-
nifty, as well as .among the japanese
community.

Secretary K. Ichikawa of the Japa-
nese Consulate General sails by the
s. S. Mongolia today for San Fran
cisco on cabled orders from the Jap
,anese Foreign Office at Toxic TO pro-
.ceed Immediately to San Francisco.
No reason for sending him is as
signed in the cabled instructions. AS
he is well versed in the Korean Ian
-guage, the presumption is that he is
being sent to take part, on behalf of
the japanese Government, in the in
vestigation of the causes and circum-
stances of the assassination of D. w.
stevens by Koreans in San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. stevens was for many years in
the service of the japanese Govern
.ment as adviser in diplomatic matters.

MRS. kAKALEA CHARGED
WITH EMBEzZLING $1,000

Mrs. Kamiki Kakalea was arrested
yesterday afternoon on a warrant
charging her with the embezzlement
of $1,000 in gold coin, the property of
James Hoare. It is alleged that on
October 10. Hoare, who is a nephew
or some relative, trusted her with one
thousand dollars in gold coin, to be
kept for him and returned on demand
Now he claims that she converted it
to her own use and refuses to return
it to him. She has retained Judge
Kaulukou to defend her, and he re-
fuses to permit her to say anything
in regard to the matter. Both parties
live in Kakaako.

THE RED CROSS
PEACE CAMPAIGN
Dr.. BrinCkerh0ff Delivers First
of Series of Sanitary
Lectures.

DR.. Walter R. Brinckerhoff, il
station on Molokai, delivered a lectur,
on '"The Causation of Infectious Dis.
ease,'' under the auspices of the Rec
Cross Society of Hawaii, in the par.
lor of Central Union church last night
The parlor was we'll filled wher
Judge Ballou introduced the lecturer
He said that the projected course ot
lectures was a part of the peace cam
paign of the Red Cross Society as
contradistinct from it's wartime activ-
ity, and spoke of the strategical posi-
ton of Honolulu in the common ac-
eeptance of the term. paralleling its
position in a disease sense.
DR.. Brinckerhoff stated that the OBJ
ject of the course of lectures, of which
this was the first, is to give the public
right ideas about infectious diseases.
The following extracts from the lee
ture are appended:
Drinking water should be boiled
intelligently. For example. it does
little good to boil infected water and
then put it into bottles which have
been rinsed out with infected and un-
boiled water. This simply decreases
the number of germs for a time in the
bottles. The deficiency will soon be
made up by the multiplication of the
germs introduced in rinsing the bot
ties, which will multiply rapidly in
the boiled water. I shall not scold
this audience on this subject, for I
know that in Honolulu more intelli-
gence is used in caring for the drink
theless, it may not be out of place to
repeat here few simple rules which
apply to all cases in which the water
supply is believed to be infected with
a disease-producing germ. This ap-
plies to water during an epidemic of
typhoid fever, of cholera and of dys-
entery, whether of amoebic or bacil-
larry origin.
'F'irst-If you must filter the water.
do SO before and not after boiling it.
This is because it is practically i'm
possible to get water free from germs
by filtration as that procedure is car
ried on in the average kitchen. The
chance of reinfecting the water dur
ing the process is very great. I know
this from experience, for in labora-
tory work it is often desirable to OBJ
tain a germ-free fluid without sub
iecting it to heat or to chemical
reagents. Even with the most careful
technique, and with all. the scientific
apparatus made for the purpose, it is
exceedingly difficult to get a germ-free
fluid by filtration and to keep it in
this condition. If a trained laboratory
worker considers this a difficult prob
lem it is hardly matter to turn over
to a Chinese cook!
"Second--When you boil the water
to be used for drinking, allow it TO
cool in the same vessel in which it is
A large kettle is convenient
for this purpose.
"Third-Boil the bottles in which
he water is to be kept till used. Wash

The meeting of the Promotion CON-
mittee held yesterday was the most inn
portant that has taken place for a long
time and some very interesting matters
came up for consideration
Perhaps the most pleasant feature of
the meeting was the statement of Mr..
B. F. Clawson, representing Thomas
Cook & Son, that he would impress on
the firm the desirability of adding Ha-
waii to their list of places to which
they send tourists. This will mean
much for the Territory. for Hawaii will
be placed in the same position to the
Pacific Coast as Bermuda and the West
Indies are to the Atlantic Coast
1t was practically decided to move
the Los Angeles office of the commit
tee to Seattle, where, it is believed,
there viii be more demand for the at
fractions that Hawaii has TO offer.
Another matter which came up for
discussion and which was favorably
thought of was the establishment of
news bureau in Honolulu for the pur-
pose of disseminating news matter per-
tanning to the Territory through the
medium of the mainland press.
Present were: Secretary Wood, A.
Sheba, F. L. Waldron, w. T. Lucas, J.
l., Mclean, J. A. McCandless, w. w.
Ball, Lyle A. Dickev B. F. Clawson
and E. A. Barnes.
e. A. Barnes stated his Willingness
to accept an appointment as represen-
tative of the committee in Chicago
should such be desired. 1t was the .opin-
ion of the committee that it would be
impossible to make such an appoint
ment at present.
THE JAPANESE PARK.
A. Sheba was present to learn what
was to be done in connection with the
scheme to make japanese park along
Nuuanu stream.
Messrs. Hall and Dickey represent
ing the Nuuanu Improvement Club will
call meeting of the club in the near
future and the probabilities are that
the club viii take hold of the matter
themselves.
HAWAII FOR COOK.
B. F. Clawson, who came to Homo
lulu to meet the Asahi Shimbun party
which arrives by the S. S. Mongolia to-
day and who represents Thos. Cook Il
Son, stated that he was greatly inter
ested in Hawaii from what he had seen
during his brief visit He would make
an effort to get his firm interested and
thought that he would succeed. Since
arriving he had gathered as much in
formation as he could concerning trips
apd emnsements and had seen much
which he thought would attract the
average traveller.
"In getting tourists said he, "go /
after good people and not cut-rate peo-
pie who will do you no good. Also
preserve local conditions as much as
possible and remember that people come
here to see Honolulu and its people and
their customs more than anything else.
''There are very great tourist possi +
bilities here, dependent, of course, on
an efficient steamer service. Visitors
must know for certain when they will
be able to get away again.
"'There is just as good a field on
the Pacific Coast for travel here as
there is on the Atlantic Coast for
travel to Bermuda and the West In
dies. The latter business is constantly
growing and the number of tourists
who visit Bermuda and the West In
