 The interstate commerce commission has now been informed that q general advance in rates. effective August 1st, will be made by southeastern lines on all commodities of southern clag- sification. taking classes B, c. D and F from Ohio and Mississippi crossings to all southeastern points. The increase amounts to three cents per hundred on Class B, 2c per hundred on Classes c and D and 4c per barrel on class F. The increases are on packing house products grain and grain products and flour in sacks and barrels while no an- nouneement Is made with respect to fresh meats. the rate on them now is based on ten cents over the rates on Glass B commodities and 1t Is likely that an additional increase on fresh meats eventually will be made.

BROOKS VS..
Whitley

When the big libel suit of f. NJ.
Brooks against Judge Whitley was
commenced it was rather laughed at
by some who asserted that II was sim
ply being done for the effect that It
would have on the Impeachment pro-
ceedings which were being brought
against the Shanghai jurist at the time
before the House of Representatives.
From the recent developments, how
ever, it appars that the suit will not
be dropped but will be fought through
to it's end
A document was filed in the Cir
cult Court this morning in which it
was stipulated between the two op-
posing attorneys, George A. Davis for
the plaintiff and A. G. NJ Robertson
for the defendant, that dispositions
should be taken from a number of
witnesses. Those specified were j. J.
Keegan, H. Rosecrantz, George f. Cur
tbs, Lorrin Andrews, r. B. Jackson, c.
r. Holcombe, j. w. Rice and e. e.
Hinclxley. Their homes are scattered
all over the United States. China and
Japan and the cost of obtaining these
dispositions should mount up consider
ably.

UNCLE SANS OFFICES IN THE
JUDICIARY BUILDING BEING
RENTED FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

A lease is being arranged between
the Federal Government and the Ter
ritory for the use of the offices in
the Judiciary building which are &C
cupied by the United States District
Attorney the United States Marshal
and the United States District Court
The rent is fixed at $4,000 per year,
quite respectable sum, enough in
fact to pay for the entire expense Of
keeping the building in repair
In the lease which is being made
out, which will run for year, with
the privilege of renewal for a second
period of the same length, clause
has been inserted which allows the
Federal Government to terminate its
tenancy at any time when a Federal
building shall have been erected and
is ready for occupancy in this city.
The Territory also receives GER
tain amount of protection in the
lease. 1t is hoped that the coming
Legislature will appropriate a suffi-
cient amount of money to reconstruct
the Judiciary building. In this case
it is agreed that the Federal court
and the other Federal offices shall
move to another location

DEVELOP
The LANDS

In speaking of his prospective trip
to Washington Land Commissioner
Pratt in an interview this morning
stated that he hoped that it would
prove productive of a great deal for
the Territory. He said that several
of the members of the Advisory Land
Board had met him on the street and
thought that his trip would be Of
great assistance to them, as he would
be able to bring back ideas which
would surely be of use. In relation
to irrigation matters Mr.. Pratt said:
1.-The making our waste land pro-
ductive is a matter which is of great
importance. 1t may be possible to
frame a law, to be passed by Con
gress, by which money could be APP
propriated for reservoirs and canals,
and this be paid back gradually by
those who take up land, and who
would thus gradually obtain an in
terest in the irrigation works them
selves. We have vast areas of land
which could be made productive in
this manner.
l"Take the island of Molokai, for
instance, where so much land is be-
ing used for grazing which might
be splendid agricultural property If
we had the money to develop water
for it. Then on, Hawaii, the lands in
the Waimea district, on which the
lease expires on in 1918, l believe.
could all be made into the finest of
farming land. What is needed for
this Is capital"

splendid Words FOR HAWAII

"a WASHINGTON, D.. ca July H.
The Star says editorially:
1.-THE battleship feet arrived at Ho-
nolulu yesterday and was given an
,enthusiastic welcome by the island
!ers. PTliere Is mo- wonder that the
Hawaiians are aroused to such a
pitch of patriotism over the advent
of the war vessels. Although they
have been a member of the Ameri-
can family for ten years, they have
received practically no consideration
at the hands of Congress as such.
Situated midway in the Pacific, in the
line of trade, in a position of the
utmost Importance from the strate-
gist's point of view, Hawaii should
long ago have been developed as a
naval base and the center of Paci-
fic operations. So little has been, in
fact, expended there in the develop
ment of the harbor and the erection
of the necessary works for the evo-
luton of a modern naval station that
the Hawaiians have reason to think
Congress does not fully appreciate
the advantages offered by the pos.
session of the archipelago.
Numerous commissions have visit
ed Hawaii since the annexation and
have reported favorably to the exc
cution of various projects of improve
ment. But nothing has been under.
taken of Importance, and today If a
war should occur between this coun-
try and a foreign power with Paci-
'fic possessions it would be necessary
to begin constructions in Hawaii al
most from the beginning to enable
this country to use it's midocean out
post as a base of operation.

The opening of the big vaudeville

poned from Monday next until Thurs
day, August 9th.
The postponement is caused by the
fact that some of the performers miss

Hilonian due next Wednesday. Cable
grams received state that the delin-
quents have departed. Their baggage
is here, having come by the Alameda.
i ne management wisely decided not
to open until the balance of the COM
pany arrives. When they do open a
big show and great one is promised.
