CAUSES BREEZE AMONG SUPER
VISORS-BISHOP STREET EX-
TENSION BUSINESS.

The Board of Supervisors held a meet
ing last night when was enlivened to
a slight degree when Archer and Char
lie Hustace had lively set-to over the
question of giving money to the Saliva
ton Army Home. Archer made a
number of rather unpleasant remarks
to the chairman before subsiding.
The usual bills for the month were
passed but the monthly park appro-
priation was cut out on account of the
fact that old bills have been coming
in and there is some explanation need
ed by the board. A letter was receiv-
ed from the Warehouse Trust Com
pany asking that the Bishop street eX-
tension through the Mahuka property
be graded and macadamized as soon as
possible and another letter, officially
notifying the board that the title to the
proposed extension was now with the
Territory, was received from the Su-
perintendent of Public Works.
A letter from Admiral Very thank
ing the Board and highly commend
ing Fire Chief Thurston and his assist
ant, Augustus Deering, was read. A
letter was received from DR.. Cofer,
president of the Board of Health, ask
ing that certain board sidewalks in the
Chinese and Japanese sections of the
city be replaced with cement walks, on
account of the fact that the board
walks formed perfect rat harbors.

FREE TRADE TRUST
IN BANANA TRADE

after trainload of sound bananas into
the river at that point.
The United Fruit Company holds a
club over the heads. of the jobbers of
the United States. In some cities of the
country the trust does not ask the job
Der how much fruit he wants, but its
representative goes to him and says
that we are going to supply you with
two cars of bananas a week. or per-
haps five cars a week, according to the
representative judgment of what the
firm can handle. The dealer must take
it or go out of business.
There have been no less than a dozen
fairly well established banana import
ing concerns put out of business by the
trust within the last five years. The
octopus has started instructions in the
growing sections merely to destroy the
property Of its competitors, it is re-
ported.
When the trust got out of the law
suit which was begun in New York a
few weeks ago it apparently was not
through with its antagonist on this
score. Several thousand dollars has
been spent in collecting evidence a.
gainst the United Fruit Company. In
quiries have been held among the
growers, and the evidence is down in
black and white.
The opening shot Of a real investiga
ton was fired by Senator Johnston Of
Alabama Tuesday. The banana buying
public is very much interested and viii
await with pleasure the progress Of
the proposed inquiry.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-04-29

As bananas are on the free list, the
following comments OF the Packer on
the operations of the free-trade trust
ought to be interesting to revisionists.
The Packer says:
From what can be learned at pres
ent, the banana trust is in for a
searching investigation, and those who,
because of their past business connec-
tions, are in a position to know of the
workings of this trust, say that if a
clean, impartial inquiry is made the
sensations which will be brought out
will make the public sit up and think.
Several weeks ago the Packer pub
lished accounts of a suit which the
Mcconnell Company of Mobile had
brought against the trust to recover
several million dollars damages, and
how this case was practically thrown
out of court on a motion of the trusts
lawyers because the alleged depreda-
tons occurred outside of the jurisdic-
ton of any court of this country.
None but the banana buyers of the
United States and several former com
petitors of the trust who have made
investigations as to the methods the
| trust used in its fight can fully realize
the iniquity of the workings Of this or
ganizatiOn.
Ever since the United Fruit Com
pany and its Western distributing com
pany, the Fruit Dispatch Company
have been organized these methods
have been employed. Down in lower
Illinois about ten years ago the fruit
company began its system of destroy
ing outright sound bananas for the
simple purpose to get them out of the
market to keep up prices. AT one time
the citizens of a small town on one OF
the smaller rivers Of Illinois made a
protest to the Governor, in which the
proofs were presented that their en-
tire section fairly reeked with infec-
tious disease on account of the United
Fruit Company dumping trainloaC

which Carnegie decided to found a
national university. This would be in
line with Carnegie's founding of those
universities for the people,, which
are founded in so many municipalities,
with his endowments of Edinburgh
University and with his gift to the
Carnegie Institute.
With such an endowment as be-
ginning, the national university could
be made the most powerful educational
institution in the world, and patriotic
Americans would be told that it came
as a realization of one of the dreams
of George Washington.

night at the Orpheum. Mitsuka has
gone back to his old stunt in lifting
1OO-pound rice bags, to get more
strength. Another thing that Mitsuka
is allowing his training partners to do
is to butt him in the stomach as hard
as possible, but none of them seem to
do him any harm.
Roberts is still gaining weight and
yesterday he did good deal of swim
ming and wrestling with Professor
Baron in the water Roberts is very
confident as to the outcome, and stated
J yesterday that he would beat MitsN,a
without any trouble.

led with Froelecher. Harry Cobb Will
