A BUILDING
LAW NEEDED
Continued l,un Page One.)

in the rank with fireproof buildings.
In fact there are only two buildings
that could be considered class A build
ings and one at present under process
of construction. Climatic conditions
in Honolulu naturally reduce the fire
risk as we have no open fires nor do
we use heating apparatus in our build
ings, the only risk being occupancy.
The external conditions are, however,
deplOrable. Should a fire get good
Roadway in one of our blocks in Ho-
nolulu, it would probably result in the
entire or partial loss of the block, even
with our efficient fire department and
ample water supply in the fire limits.
The legislature has many times been
appealed to to provide funds for build
ing inspectors, but has always failed to
make such provision and this depart
ment hos been compelled to rely on the
assistance of it's clerks and the SAM
tary and Plumbing Inspector.
1.-The Department is prepared to
place before your EXcellency for sub
mission to the legislature, what it
deems proper building law The
law is applicable to all parts of the
Territory and should be Territorial
law instead of passing such, measures
as would permit each county to draft
its own laws. However, as the mat
ter of building construction is pro-
| perly the function of City and County
| government, the enforcement of the
law should be under the direction OF
! the county boards of supervisors. This
matter is one that materially affects
the business prosperity of our COM
munity, and | feel that l would fai
in my obligation to the citizens anG
administration if l did not bring il
before your attention.
The building laws should cover g
wider scope than that of construction
and should limit occupancy in certain
localities, as, with our cosmopolitan
population, we are having certain
classes of buildings erected in the resi-,
Dental portion of the city and occu
pied for purposes that are a detriment
to the city especially from a moral
sanitary and commercial aspect wheT
located in close proximity to our pub
lie schools"

TWO CHARGES
AGAINST STRAUS

Leon Straus, he VINO by a telephone
girl is alleged to have threatened her
death, levenng a pistol, unless she
consented to become his wife, has two
charges placed against his name on
the police record.
He is charged with inflicting a slight
injury and also with carrying con-
cealed weapon. On the latter charge
he is likely to have trouble, but there
seems to have been no slight injury
inflicted unless it was to the lady's
nerves.
Probably the section following the
slight INJURY" section is that under
which it was intended to charge him,
that having to do with assault.
In police court this morning Straus
had his case continued until Friday
He is out on bail

CANYON
BROKER LOVE RETURNS FROM
VACATION AMIDST THE FINEST
SCENERY ON GARDEN ISLAND.

William A. Love of Halstead & Co.,
brokers, returned in the Kinau this
morning from a delightful vacation on
Kauai AS a guest at the Knudsen
home in the mountains he went gun
ming for goats in the Waimea gulch,
which he describes as one of the grand
est pieces of scenery in the Hawaiian
Islands. 1t is vast. with walls several
thousand feet high, and the variegation
of colors in the canyon is ravishing to
the eye. This canyon is the source Of
water for the Waimea-Kekaha ditch
lately constructed.
Among other places in the district
which he visited was forest of koa
and lehua trees, which Mr.. Love found
different from the forests on other ISL
ands. Being on the dry side of Kauai
it does not present tropical jungle
aspect the trees displaying their
trunks from the ground up with in
dividualized dignity. There is a diff
ference in the texture of the koa wood
also, as compared with that now being
commercially exploited on Hawaii. 1t
is of a crinkly and wavy grain and
possibly might have especial value for
decorative panels and veneering.
Mr.. Love saw where the wild cattle
| and goats had worked destruction to
forest and field vegetation. What
were once populous hillsides, dotted
with the somes of thrifty natives, is
now a scene of desolation. There is
scenery now and nothing else and the
| knowledge of what the land looked like
before makes an alloy of sadness in
the enjoyment of a picturesque and
bold perspective of landscape. However
work of redemption Is going on. For
est lines have been laid out as a re-
suit of examination by Territorial For
ester Hosmer and a forest reserve
will be created. In the meantime the
Knudsens have been carrying on a
process of eXtirpation of the wild cat
tie on their extensive domain, while
their friends from Honolulu and else
where have complete privileges OF
foraying against the goats. They have
also done a great deal of tree planting

mier artist, has been sketching in Wal

KAPPA LANDS
DISCUSSED AGAIN
THE GOVERNMENT is DISPOSED
TO STAND BY THE FIGURES OF
THE APPRAISERS.

Col. Spalding, of the Makee Sugar
Company, called on governor Frear
this morning, in connection with the
Kappa lands. He stated that he had
gone over the appraisers report very
carefully and that he differed with GER
tain portions of it, He believes that
the Government is asking for too
much rental for the land and that it
should be reduced.
1t may be said, and with almost Of
fetal authority, that the Government
win not lease the Kappa lands for a
lower figure than that set by the APP
praisers, From the ideas which can
be obtained from all the Government
officials who have had anything to do
with this NATTER II seems that an Gre
| dit for an accurate and just figure Is
given The three appraisers who had
charge of the work

of water extinguisned the flame but
nothing would do the panic stricken
folks below, who thought the whole
tenement above them must be blazing,
but to ring in an alarm and draw a
section of the community to behold
the faults of this village in build
ing.
A climbing of back stairs to see the
hole in the floor, from the top, reveal
ed the fact that several steps of the
stairs were imminently and obviously
dangerous to human life and limb and
that patent weaknesses elsewhere ex-
listed, incidentally that those whose
duty it is to inspect and report such
things must be overworked or with
out the time to get around to this
building, or else orders for few new
pieces of lumber have been overlook
ed.
1t was also very forcibly revealed to
perhaps five hundred people, autoists,
i bicyclists, drivers firemen, policemen
and visiting citizens afoot and other
wise that the water-wagon has not
+ been in the neighborhood of South and
Queen streets for a very extended time.
A severe dust storm was raging, the
wind being boisterous as it very often
is in that section and the Kakaako
mission, across from the Magoon
block, stores, restaurants and lodgings
were being anointed with choking
binding dust, dust that settles on the
food displayed in shops and on the
persons of the numerous close-quarter-
ed inhabitants of the big stationary
ark.
The fire department turned out in
fine style to the alleged blaze, making
a splendid show as it went through
Palace or Union square as did also
the old reliable police wagon.
Some of the automobiles might have
been copied for exceeding the speed
limit in the heart of town if interest
had not Oeen centered in the where
abOutsl and significance of the sup
posed iconfiagration.
AS usual the loud alarm startled
the town, took clerks out of offices and
stores, disturbed business, got people
perspiring, took women from their
sewing, washing and cooking, ct cetera,
risked children's lives on crowded
street corners around which gas ma
chimes and horse-rigs whisked, caus-
ed all to wonder if their property was
in danger and generally demoralized
hundreds, the superiority of the still
alarm not yet having convinced Homo
lulu.
At the scene of the confusion were
observed supervisors, electricians, in
surance men, real estate men, sena-
tors, a goodlyy proportion of the mill
} tant police, bill collectors, telephone
linemen, business men, newspapermen
doctors who had been on the way to
patients, Federal and Territorial EN-

Europe has 420o0 square miles of coal area of which 2500O square miles are in Russia.
 "The leading industrial countries, Great Britain, France, Germany and Austria have 17 900 square miles and an annual output at present in round figures of about 500 ,000,000 tons, Against their 17,0oO square miles the south has 62,000 square miles, or nearly four times as much. Great Britain has only about one-seventh as much coal area as the south, but coal has been the mighty dynamic power which has made that country the mistress of the seas with half of the worlds shipping and likewise made it the worlds finan- cial center. Other causes have con tributed but witho coal these things would have been impossible.
 As to Iron.
 Turning from coal to iron 1t is now universally accepted that nature has given this section greater advantages for making iron at a low cost than she has given to any other land on earth. We only need the capital and the skill which we are beginning to get, such as the iron interests of the north and west have had for quarter of a cen tury to make our metallurgical prog ress of the past seem like childs play We have the resources out of which to produce iron and steel at less cost than any other section and so the time should come when MT. Atkinson's 5 statement will find its fulfillment in the south.
 And then as to cotton we hold practical monopoly of the worlds cot ton trade producing about 75 per cent of the worlds annual cotton crop Without the souths cotton three fourths of the worlds spindles and looms would have to stand Idle and mill lions of employees starve. Without our cotton Great Britain and the continent alike would suffer industrial and finan cial cataclysm for over S1,000. .000 900 is invested in European cotton mills. An nually through good times or bad times Europe must pay the south from $400, 000, 900 to $500.000,000 for it's raw cot ton. The vastness of this sum can probably be better understood from the simple statement that if Europe could annually gather every ounce of gold mined on earth and ship it to the south the amount would fall short of settling its annual indebtedness for

The Stomach Does
 Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will 1t Cure 1t Because The Lack of Gastric Juices Prohibits
 Relief.

The stomach is strong, powerful or gan, which is composed of muscles of great strength It is filled during di- gestion with gastric juices which, when the stomach, extending and compress ing the food, dissolve it and separate the nourishment from the waste matter. If. however, these gastric juices are lacking, the stomach is not capable of digastlng it's food because it has not the tools with which to work success fully
 The gastric juices when in a perfect state do away with all foul odors, fer mentation and decay, reduce the food to a disintegrated mass and the stomach then presses it into the intestines where another form of digestion takes place. Then the intestines take from this mass of food all that is nourishing and give it to the blood. The waste matter is thrown from the system.
 If instead of nourishment tine intestines receive impure deposits combined with a poisonous and imperfect gastric juice, 1t can be readily seen that they must turn such imperfect nuorishment into the blood. The blood then being unable to give each part of the body that which it requires, becomes impoverished and disease is spread broadcast.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets corrects such a condition at once. If the gastric juices are lacking and imperfect these tablets do their work just the same. They build up the elements in the juice which are lacking and remove those elements which cause disturbance.
 Meat grains, fluids, vegetables and delicacies, in fact each portion of largo meal have been placed in a glass vial and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have digested them to a perfect fluid just as healthy stomach would do
 A large complex, hearty meal holds no terrors for a dyspeptic if Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets are used. Abnormal eating, late dinners, rich foods cause i'll effects to the stomach, but when Stuart 5 Dyspepsia Tablets are used one may eat when and what one will without danger of dyspepsia or discomfort.
 Forty thousand physicians endorse and prescribe Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and every druggist carries them in stock. price soc. Send us your l,ame and address and we will send you at once by mail a sample package free. Address, F. A. Stuart Co.,, l5O Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

our cotton. No wonder it strives, but in vain, as it has done for three-quar ters of century. to find some other source of supply. and no wonder it seeks to secure cotton at as low a cost as possible.
 Limitless Possibilities.
 With such resources in coal and iron and cotton, how limitless are the possi- bilities of the south. But these are only a part. To these the south adds vast power personalities in it's rivers now running their courses almost idly to the sea, in it's clays, marbles and granites, it's timbers, it's phosphate rock, and it's oils, it's wide diversity of agricultural capabilities. it's even rain fall and it's equabe climate. It is a marvellous combination the like of which Is found nowhere else under the sum-
 Tn the utilization of these vast wealth making potentialities in the opening of mines and the building of factories and furnaces, in the upbuild- ing of cities and the improvement of agricultural conditions the south of fers field broad enough and suf- ficiently alluring to tax the energy and constructive genius of all it's people and of all who may be tempted to come in and take part in this great work"
