CQASTMLSE BILL

Following is the text of Delegate
Kuhio's bill regarding suspension OF
Coastwise Shipping laws:
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled, That for a period of six years
from the passage of this Act, passen-
gers may be transported without pen
atty in foreign vessels between ports
OF the Territory of Hawaii and other
ports of the United States: Provided,
however, That the provisions of this
Act shall cease to be operative when
ever a new line of at least three steam
ships of the United States shall have
been established from the United
States to Hawaii"
The favorable report on the bill, pre-
scented by Congressman Littlefield for
the Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries, contains the following:
The Committee on the Merchant
Marine and Fisheries having had I'M
der consideration the bill III. r. 1869
to amend the laws concerning trans
portation between the ports of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii and other ports of
the United States report the same
with an amendment and the recon-
mendation that the bill do pass as
amended.
The purpose of this measure is to
afford temporary relief to, and addi-
tional facilities for, passenger travel
between the Hawaiian Islands and the
mainland of the United States.
Owing to the discontinuance of the
Oceanic Steamship Company's service
to Australia, and the law prohibiting
foreign steamers which make Homo
lulu a port of call from transporting

passengers from Hawaii to San Fran
cisco, the people of the Hawaiian ISL
ands have three less passenger steam
ships available for travel from the
port of Honolulu than they had, when
the annexation act was passed ten
years ago. The present conditions are
an additional hardship because of the
fact that the volume of passenger
travel has meantime increased more
than so per cent.
During the past year there have
been numerous occasions when the
time between sailings of American
ships has been from eight to twenty
one days, with intervals of ten OF
twelve days a frequent occurrence. In
numerous cases the American steam
ers calling at Honolulu en- route to San
Francisco from the Orient, have not
been able to provide cabin space for
more than from 10 to 60 per cent OF
the passengers booked for those
steamers.
THE people of Hawaii say, with
much reason, that it was never the
purpose in anneXing those islands to
the United States to make commune
cation with the mainland more diff
cult than it was when they were a
foreign country.
mo change of the law as regards
freight transportation is asked, nor
are lower steamer fares sought; the
purpose is only to secure the physical
possibility of travel when business OF
personal reasons demand it.
"Inasmuch as Hawaii has no alter
native of land travel, the application
of the coastwise laws to those islands
has created a total inhibition of travel
for the varying periods between Amer
lean steamer sailings, such as was not
contemplated in the passage of those
laws.

the operator was attempting to talk to

ator, his message was picked up by
the operator at Sitka, Alaska, at a dis
lance of 1866 miles. On the present
trip from the Orient the Sherman was
only eight days out of wireless touch

NEW ARMOUR PLATE PROCESS

ROME, Feb. 9.-Engineer Barratta,
of the Italian Navy, has patented a
new armor plate. A composition a
foot thick is laid over a single sheet
of steel.
The armor thus made, experts de-
clare is light and cheap and it has re-
manned unperforated by projectiles

know him, but wanted to marry him
and who was so difident to marry him
she sent to Chicago and paid 81 to get
an introduction to him and to have a
suitable excuse for sending her photo
graph.
The next paragraph tells more about
her, as follows:
THE lady whose photograph and
description inclose, may interest you.
She has no one in view and has not
been introduced to any gentlemen. She
is an American widow, age % years,
perfect form, handsome, stylish and is
in good health. She is good-natured
and liberal, with a kind, affectionate
disposition"
Apparently the manageable young
woman had married her first husband
at a very tender age, else the agent OF
Cupid had slipped a cog and miscal-
culated when he wrote the following
paragraph describing the 2S-year-old
widow:
Her husband has been dead several
years. For many years they lived very
happily together and she wishes again
to enjoy comforts and happiness Of
married life. She is honest and sin
cere and really wants a husband. She
is not a society lady and does not meet
suitable gentlemen, so she comes to me
to find her a companionable husband.

chance to better your condition. A

provides that its operation shall cease
as soon as a new line Of three Ameri-
can steamships shall be placed in this
service.
"The measure is neither asked nor
intended as any departure from the
true intent of the American shipping
laws, but is merely designed to give
temporary facilities for travel till such
time as a proper support of the Ameri-
can merchant marine will enable it to
supply an adequate passenger service
between Hawaii and mainland ports.
We look upon the circumstances that
justify this temporary eXpedient as
peculiar and unusual and largely the
fault of the Congress in not enacting
adequate legislation. 1t Is very I'M
likely that they can be duplicated, and
this bill can not be relied upon as in
any sense a precedent for any legisla-
ton that will in any degree perma-
nently impair the integrity Of the
coastwise laws.
This bill may involve some inter-
esting constitutional questions, but as
they were not raised or insisted upon
before the committee and it is doubt
full if they would arise in such a man
ner as to cause any embarrassment,
we express no opinion thereon.
This bill, it will be seen, as amend
ed answers the suggestions and is in
accordance with the recommendations
of the Secretary of the Department of
Commerce and Labor"

AN EASY TO LIVE WITH WIFE"

Aroused by the legal troubles Of
Marion Grey, affinity finder, attention
has been turned to the methods of
men and women who seek to subsidize
Cupid and turn his harnessed activi-
ties to their own profit through Che OPP
Grafton of matrimonial agencies. To-
day, when the trial of the Elgin nup-
tial agent was at its climax reporters
for The Daily News unearthed CORE
spondence showing how some wielders
of love potions operate. The docu-
ments were sent in a letter to Ira Car
rington of Fullersburg, H., by the
Keystone agency" 3Gth street and Ell
lis avenue, in a vain attempt to get 81
from him, for which, with SO more to
be paid later, he was to have deliver
ed at his door, express prepaid, "a
large, handsome, wealthy, kind and
easy to live with wife"
The keystone agency" is the one
to which attention was attracted re-
Gently when it became the subject OF
investigation by federal officers. It is
said still to flourish on the suscepti-
bilities of those of matrimonial incli-
nations.
The envelope received by Mr.. Car
rington contained three documents
The first he drew out was a typewrit-
ten letter which began its appeal to
him to end his days of bachelorhood,
thus:
Dear Friend: A lady who has just
Joined my agency diving in your
town has sent your name to me, say
ing she believes you are free from in
cumbrances and in position to mar
ry."
Thus the first picture presented to
Mr.. Darlington was that of a young
