Washington. May 1I,--Strenuous OPP
position by the Democrats In the
house prevented the reference of the
presidents message recommending
certain legislation for Porto Rico to
the committee on ways and means.
A motion by Mr.. Garrett of Tonnes
see directing the speaker to forthwith
appoint the committee on :insular af-
fairs, asked by the president. which,
under ordinary procedure, would have
charge of the subject, disclosed the
fast that quorum was not present.
Consequently the message will lie on
the speakers table until the house
meets on Thursday.
In opposing the appointment of the
insular affairs committee the Repub-
lican leaders indicated their ipten.
tion of adhering to- the policy of per-.
hitting no legislation at the present
session, but that which they deem;
urgent or which the president recon,
mends. The, introduction and; consid-,
Grafton of a, Porto Rican bill will not
necessarily affect the program of the.
leaders as it does not open UP any
new channels to members who desire
to have other legislation considered at
this time. 80, ....ns' a.sd H..

Porto Rico in Peril.

Mr.. Taft recommended legislation al
the present extra session, amending
the Foraker act under which Porto
reefs the attention OF congress to at
fairs on the island, u laying particular
stress on what he"terms "a situation
OF unusual gravity" developed through
the failure OF the legislative assembly
OF Porto Rico to pass the usual ap.
preparation bills, leaving the island
without support until June 80 next.
Porto Ricans have forgotten the
generosity OF the United States, the
president says, in the, desire of certain
OF the Islands political leaders for
power. and he adds that the present
situation indicates that the. United
States has gone too fast in the ex.
tension OF political power to the Porto
Ricans He concludes that the abso.
lutte power OF appropriation should be
taken away from those who have
shown themselves too irresponsible to
enjoy it." .. -.
The president suggests to congress
the wisdom OF submitting to the ap-
preparation committees the question

council and the legislative assembly

But no action OF this kind, the pres

sums equal to the appropriations made
in the previous year for the respec;
tive purposes shall be available for the
current revenues. and shall be, drawn

Footsore and hungry, four little
youngsters, the Oldest but twelve years
of age, wandered about in the noun
tains night before last, lost. Finally they
reached Kaneohe, where they were TAX
en- in by kind hearted folk who later
turned them over to their families.
The children are John and Augustine
Botelho and the little Freitas boys.
The youngest of the lads is but five
years of age, and the experiences
through which they passed might well
have terrified grown persons.
Early Monday morning, the quartet
of youngsters started for the mountains
in search of maidenhair ferns. They
climbed Tantalus and passed into the
Businesses beyond. In the depths of
the mountain forest, they lost their
way and wandered along, not know
ing where they were going. Tired but
plueky, they kept on to the benchland
above Pacific Heights, skirting Nuuanu
valley as they tramped, every step tax
ing them farther from home. They
finally got into Nuuanu valley.
Night came on with no signs of habi-
tation but they kept going and de-
seended the Pail, finally reaching Kane
one, where they found sueeor FOR the
night.
When nightfall arrived and the chill
dren did not put in an appearance, a
searching party was organized. Moth
ing was accomplished, however, so yes
terday morning police aid was sought.
Two mounted officers were detailed on
the case, and Tantalus was searched.
The officers spent the greater part OF
the day in the mountains without sue
cess.
Later in the day, j. B. Freitas, the
brother of the missing Freitas children,
started in search of them. From Kane
ohe he received word of their where
abouts and quickly brought them back
to their parents. The children suffered
no i'll effects from their experience.

ed, will be passed in review before the
lawmakers. Luncheon will be served

So many of the Congressman who are
interested in the agricultural resources
of the country have expressed desire
to visit the experiment station of the
Planters Association and the Federal
experiment station, that all who wish
to 60 will be taken to both places to-
morrow morning. A plan of Mr.. W. A.
Bowen to take party of Congress
men to Tantalus on Thursday has been
postponed to later date in order that
all may see the experimental work.
Captain Rees asks that the Congress
men assemble at the naval station ad-
building at $50 this
morning. The visitors win be receiv-
ed by the commanding and other Of
ficers of the station. They will be re

Satisfactory.

There was little trading recorded on

SNEAK THIEF Gets
IN WORK At RINK

John Aylett went to the skating rink
last night with $50 in his trousers
pocket. When he was getting ready to
skate, he transferred the money to his
coat, and hung the coat on the wall.
In consequence, he is now minus the
$50, for, while he was gliding about the
floor, some sneak thief came IN and
rihed his pockets. Aylett reported his
loss to the police, and Leal paid the
skating rink a visit last night, hoping
that the thief might return. No trace
OF the misereant was found. Had the
man waited a day longer before de
scending upon the skating rink. the
month of August would have passed
without single case of thievery in
any form being reported TO the police.

ADVANCE IN CONTRACT
RATE IS CONSIDERED

The Sugar Planters Association is
considering an advance in the contract
rates. This is a matter which has been
under consideration for some time, but
naturally remained in allegiance during
the strike. The advance in contract
rates would Ut affect the day laborers
IN any way. but is in line with the
policy of the plantations to encourage
the contract system, which gives the
men considerably better opportunities
for making money than they can have
on a daily wage basis.

Gazing for the first time upon the
interior of an extinct volcanic crater
the visiting members of the Congress
sional delegation were yesterday i'm
pressed with the fact that the War
Department selected wisely and well
when it chose Diamond Head crater as
the site for a fertilization.
Passing through the tunnel from the
outer slope of Diamond Head, the Con
gressmen and local committeeman
emerged again into broad daylight to
look upon one of Nature freak up
heavals. The great amphitheater, with
walls formed of lava from the bowels
of the earth, suggested a natural
Gibraltar. Nevertheless, kiawe trees,
green and fourishing, dotted the floor,
and in the far side was a depression
denuded of underDrusn and trees, the
site of the water basin in which dur
ing part of the year few inches OF
water. form pond.
The basin was large enough for the
site of a fair-sized city, or for a great
pasturage for cattle, but above all its
possibilities as an agricultural area
were shown to be of the best, for the
soil in the floor of the crater is far
richer than much in the cane lands OF
Oahu. For centuries the silt has wash
ed down the inner slopes of the crater
to the floor, becoming richer and rich
er Vegetable supplies for tho garrison
could be raised there in large quanti-
ties, if water were piped in from the
outer world through the tunnel.
