ROSS
RESIGNS
GdBB OF PAAUHAU TO BE HEAD OF
HONOLULU PLANTATION ABOUT
JANUARY /.

About the first Of the year, following
the agreement made when bo took
charge, Manager Ross OF the Honolulu
Plantation will resign 1t is under
stood that when he took charge of the
local sugar property he did so with
the agreement that he shouiu stay with
it till it was well on its feet and pay
ing dividends. This has been accom-
plished, the first dividend being paid
to the stockholders on May TO- and Mr..
Ross when the present season is COM
pleted, will leave. His health has
not been of the best for some time and
he will take a long trip away from
this Territory for benefit in this line.
Manager James Glib, of the Paau-
hau plantation, one of the Irwin prop
critics on the Island of Hawaii, is sche-
duled to take the position vacated by
Ross. He is well known and is fully
competent to handle the work, which
is in excellent shape His brotnSr
George Glib of the Olowalu plantation
on Maui, is mentioned fir the Paauhau
vacancy, but no decision in regard to
this has yet been reached and it is
quite likely that this change may not
be made but that the head luna OF
Paauhau may be promoted.
The present strike has had nothing
whatever to do with the Ross resigna-
ton. 1t is matter which was decided
on by that gentleman before the strike
was talked of and he leaves with the
good will of the employees of the plan
tation and recognized by the sugar in
dustry as one of the most capable man
ayers in the Territory Under his
charge the Honolulu plantation has
seen prosperity which was hardly eX-
pected by the most sanguine.

MONEY ON
THE PERSIA
GOLD AND SILVER SHIPMENTS
FOR JAPAN ON BOARD MAIL
STEAMER.

The steamer Persia, Captain Gauk-
roger, which sailed this morning at
10 O'Clock for the Orient, carried an
extremely valuable cargo. In her spe-
Gle room was a shipment of 100000
in gold, which was recently bought by
the Japanese government. In addition
to this she carried 500 bars of silver
bullion, each bar being worth about
$500 Mexican.
Another interesting feature of the
Persia's trip is the number of Chinese
who are being sent back to their own
country by the United States immigra-
ton authorities. Sixty-nine coolies,
who had been smuggled over the Me-
Xican border line were on the YES
sci, forming the largest single ship
ment of the kind which has ever pass
ed through here.

EVA CROP
NEARLY PAU
GRINDING 33.5OO TONS OF SUGAR
WILL BE COMPLETED ABOUT
AUGUST /.

The grinding of the present sugar
crop on the Eva plantation will be
completed about August 1, according
to a statement made by e. d. Tenney
the president of the company, this
morning. 1t will run up to 39,5OO tons
or over this year and everything is
in good shape. The completion OF
grinding at Eva will be relief to the
strike situation in great degree. When
the sugar crop is completed there, It
will mean that great number of the
laborers who have been used at Eva
as strikebreakers may be sent to Oahu
and Waialua plantations to assist in
clearing up the remainder of the crops.

AN ARMQRy NEEDED

Under this head the n. G. II. page
of The Service contains the follow
ing article:
Honolulu needs a better armory
for its National Guard. The Drill
Shed" as an armory for the National
Guard in Honolulu is disgrace to
civic pride and an eyesore in the pro-
gress of this city.
San Francisco with its Preside
and bay Notifications full of troops is
building an armory for its National
Guard to cost one million dollars, of
which its citizens subscribed about
100000. Hon William G. Irwin, a
member of the committee to raise
the subscription, is said to have con-
tributed $4,000,
"The War Department, through the
Governor, requested the Legislature
to appropriate for an adequate arm
DRY for Honolulu, but the Legislature
failed to enact this particular con,
structive legislation. and it is now
up to the business men OF Honolulu,
as a matter of insurance and on the
broad principle of doing business
with that department of the Federal
Government which spends about one
nalf of the many millions appropri-
ated by Congress, to subscribe the
$4,000 necessary to erect an armory
in Honolulu"
In an editorial on the same subject
The Service says:
THE main force of the militia, of
course, finds Honolulu It's headquar-
tiers and here it is that there should
be respectable housing for the men
and arms.
THE men have worked well to adj
vance to a stage of proficiency; they
are earnest in their ambitions and
are of the caliber to be depended on,
militiamen favorably comparable with
guardsmen anywhere, and yet they
are so little appreciated that they
cannot be given headquarters with
even the most primary decencies.
The old drillshed, that eyesore in
the rear of the Executive building, is
even a disgrace to tine Board of
Health. 1t would make a plumber
blush.
What the Legislature has neglect
ed, it would seem, must be for accom-
plishment in some other way, There
fore, cannot the business men, the
large men of big resources, whose
money-making in. these Islands is de-
pendent on the prevalence of peace
and order and observance of law, can
not they, as a matter of insurance
on their goods and chattels and en-
terprises, see to it that there is pro-
vided a sanitary, clean, pleasant, and
attractive place wherein may gather
the men who are their protection in
times of riot and mob-madness;
wherein these .militiamen may find
conveniences and even entertain
ment?
with all that the Federal Govern
ment does to encourage the National
Guard, the least we can DO is to pro-
vide a headquarters that is less of a
stable than the shameful drillshed."

WONDERFUL LITTLE
ICE MACHINE
Pocket Edition of New Ice Cream
Freezer Does Marvellous Work

Just think of taking cents worth OF
ice, placing it in a little box twelve
inches square and turning out the
most delicious ice creams, ices or
frozen sherbets in one-half minute
This seems too good to be true. never
theless it is no fallacy, as you shall
see. This entire little machine con-
slsts of a small wooden box about
foot square Within is placed hollow
metal cylinder. This is filed with
ice and locked in the box. A metal
pan in the bottom of the box, through
which passes the cylinder, holds the
cream, and as the cylinder is turned
through it the cream Is instantly
frozen cut catches the frozen
cream, which is all ready to eat. There
is no limit to the amount that can
be frozen. The small amount OF ice
to start on will freeze enough for 500
people. 1t all depends on how mucn
you want. The inventor, Mr.. Ii. >.
Turner, 355 East Second street, has
placed a machine at Henry Guyots,
$40 South Spring street, where ices
and creams are being made daily
showing what the machine will do.
No need of people going ice cream
hungry, for the price is so small Tor
the entire machine that every home
will have one, where frozen dainties
are loved,

DISCUSS ROAD
TO SAN PEDRO
FINE HIGHWAY TO THE SEA is
PLANNED
Representatives of Various organiza-
tlons Interested in improving
Thoroughfares Talk of Pre-.
liminary Needs

Pursuant TO an invitation from the
University Improvement association,
representatives from the San Pedro
Valley association of Gardena and
Moneta and the San Pedro chamber of
commerce met last evening at the office
of Kuck &c Golden at Vermont and JEFF
ferson streets to formulate plans for
the proposed macadamized boulevard
down Vermont avenue from Los An
geles to San Pedro.
The meeting was well attended. Be
sides many members of the University
Improvement association there were
present A. l.. Beam and l. S. Ball from
Gardena, w. C. Bryson and Hugh
Shaug from Moneta and Lewis Han
sen, N. o. Anderson and e. d. Seward
from the San Pedro chamber of COM
merce.
Supervisor C. ]. Nellis had also been
invited in order that his advice and
help in the proposed Improvement
could be secured
President Samuel Young of the Uni
versity Improvement association I'M
pressed upon those present the en-
thusiasm manifest over the boulevard
improvement all along the line, the
people in the southwestern portion of
Los Angeles would build its section
from Weston street into San Pedro, and
the plan was for 100-foot highway.
Mr.. kucK eXhlD1ted map OF the
whole territory involved which showed
Vermont avenue running practically
the entire distance through the county
from Manchester avenue to Redondo
road, the only new right of way neces-
sary, outside of increasing the width,
being from that point to Weston street.
Supervisor Nellis assured his sup
port and the support of the supervisors
to any feasible plan. The first step
necessary appeared to be to have the
county make a survey and map of
Vermont avenue showing just what
part was in county and what in the
city of Los Angeles. MI. Nellis prom
ised to take up the matter with the
supervisors next Monday, the proba-
bility being that the survey will be
made at once.
The Importance of the undertaking
is realized by all parties interested at
all points along the route. as a good
macadamized boulevard from Los An
geles direct to San Pedro will be util-
lied in the very near future, not only
for automobiles for pleasure, but for
auto trucks for the cheap transporta-
tion OF freight from the municipal
warehouses on San Pedro harbor to
the business district of this city. The
plans for consolidation of the Harbor
city and Los Angeles point to an early
union of the two cities, and the mag
nificent boulevard will do much to-
ward bringing the two cities nearer
together,

the people. He realized, he said, that
this was an emergency" which made
it necessary for him to consider care
fully whether he would forego MS
ideas about an election by the peo-
ple." He could not answer until
morning.
Decides to Accept
Despite this announced intention it
was known by II o'clock last night
that Mr.. Smith had decided definitely
to accept the mayoralty If turned over
to him by the council, although it was
impossible to learn whether this came
as a result of the use of the telephone
or the messenger boys. What COM
munication the machine had with
members of the city council could not
be learned from either side.
The burden of the talk both in the
Republican club and in Mr.. Smith s
office was that Harper's resignation
would nullify the recall election entire
ly, Judge Ling, recently appointed as
justice of the peace, acting as the legal
adviser. There were some present who
We're in doubt as to the soundness OF
this legal opinion, but they obtained
considerable consolation from the fact
that If the recall election did proceed
and "TIonest Uncle George" Alexan-
der were elected, with Mr.. Smith in the
chair, it would be possible to thwart
the will of the people by delaying the
seating of Alexander.
Members of the city council were ex-
tremely non -committal last night, pre-
ferring evidently to wait until they had
received the resignation, and with 1t
the legal aspect of the case, at the
meeting this morning. Wherever the
news spread that the mayor had re-
signed it was the subject of comment,
varying according to the viewpoint of
the man who heard it. Men who had
supported him in the recall campaign
were occasionally very bitter, regard
ing all their efforts as lost. A number
of those who favor the recall took oc-
casion to call up the pro-vice papers
to ask them if they had heard the
news.
It was reported last night that May
or Harper left the city soon after pre-
pairing his resignation, but this proved
untrue.

Mrs. Baumann and her 4-year-old son
were waiting for a street car at a cor

bile swung out of the darkness from
across the street and the mother saw
the danger in time to throw the child
out of harms way. She was thrown
thirty feet, dying of her injuries a few
minutes later,
