RAISE FOR COKE WORKERS
Frick Company to Advance Wages

Frick Company to Advance Wages
IS 1-2 Per Cent AS Christmas Gift.
Pittsburg, Nov. S.-An advance in
wages of about 151a per cent by the
H. c. Frfck Coke company, fuel end
of the United States Steel corporation,
is booked as a Christmas gift to 5000
employees. The news has leaked out
of the Pittsburg offices in the shape
of a semi-oficial announcement. An
increase of sixteen cents on the pres
ent estimated production cost of $1.04
per ton of coke is the arrangement to
be submitted.
The H. c. Frick Coke company is
admittedly 5000 men short of it's re-
quirements to get out the coke de-
manded by the corporation mills for
next year. The raise in wages will
bring the remuneration of coke work
ers back to the 1907 standard, and it
is hoped that it will also draw back
to the coke region 5000 more good
men.

Services Held For Deaf MuteS
in New York Church.
breaches With FINGERS
Father Tom Calvin stirs speechless
Congregation With Eloquent Sermon
Delivered by sisns-Priest Gave Out
Hymn With His Fingers and Lips.


New York, Nov. 8.-The Redemptor-
ist Fathers, from their Church of ST.
Alphonius, in West Broadway, sent
word to the silent people of the five
boroughs and all around that Father
Tom Calvin would give them a week
OF sermons without words. So the
deaf mutes hurried to St. Alphonius to
see Father Tom preach and enjoy the
fine smile that the priest shows above
his flying fingers.
They came from miles around, Jer-
sey and Westchester and Staten ISL
and even, and folks who saw them
passing in the streets of the lower
West Side stopped to marvel at these
people who talked so animatedly with
their lips and eyes and fingers and
made no noise at all. Some that
watched the deaf mutes thronging into
st. Alphonius entered the church and
took seats in the rear pews.
Moved Silent Over Front.
When Father Tom, in his black
robe, with a golden cross swinging at
his girdle, stepped into the pulpit. he
looked down upon more than 250 men
and women who could not hear or
speak. Many of them had placed them
selves difidently far back in the
church, so it was necessary for Father
Tom to ask them to move nearer the
pulpit. They kept their eyes on him
constantly. He began to play his hands
and move his lips. He shifted whole
groups from seats in the rear to seats
In the front. He singled out individuals
who hesitated--bashful girls and en-
Darrassed young men-and brought
them to the front with gestures and
smile. Sometimes it was an old and
feeble woman who hung back, but
Father Tom had a way with him that
completely melted their reluctance. An
appealing gesture and a friendly smile
did the trick.
Sings With Fingers and Lips.
The service. which was as simple as
it could be made, began with a Catho-
lie hymn which was perfectly well
known, it seemed to all the silent peo-
pie. Father Tom lined it out with his
brisk fingers and his lips. It was not
necessary for one to know the al
phabet. And as Father Tom sang
swiftly with rapid fingers and moving
lips, the congregation followed him
word for word, sign for sign, and the
church would be so still that the
swishing of serge somewhere away
back in the gloom. as a priest passed
along an aisle, struck hard upon the
ear.
Then Father Tom began to preach.
He spent thirty minutes on the ser
mon. Now and then he grew very
stern. His eye darkened and his lips
frightened and his gesturing was slow
and emphatic. Now and then he laugh
ed without noise, his eye frightened
and his fingers fairly flew. Sometimes
out of the stiffness came a half articu-
late sound as one of the congregation
was stirred by a point in the sermon
and expressed his feelings as audibly
as possible. Sometimes mirth ran
around the church and you could hear
just the ghost of laugh.

LAKE MOHONK, n. Y, May 20
Interest at the annual Lake Mohoni
peace conference centereG today
around Wu-Ting-fang, the Chinese
Minister to the United States.
The minister delivered an address
on "China's Attitude Toward Arbi-
tration." In opening, DR.. Wa remind
ed the conference that the art of war
was one that had been much prac-
ticed in China, and that from time
many centuries before the Christian
era until after the fourteenth century
Chinese history dealt in a large part
with the toll and trouble of war. Our
history he continued, bears testi-
mony to as many deeds of desperate
valor as that of any nation while to
this day many of the eminent gem
erals of olden times enjoy the honor
gods. 1t is well known that our peo-
pie make good soldiers. Some of you
have, l think read the reports of mi
litary experts commissioned by wes-
tern powers to witness the maneuvers
of our modern army in the past few
years, and you will remember that
they, one and all, bestowed hattering
praise on our officers and men.
Notwithstanding all this, one may
agree with such eminent sinologues as
r. p. Parker when they state that our
people have none of the characteris-
tics of a warlike race. and that our
triumphs over less cultivated peoples
who lived in our neighborhood have
been gained more by peaceful means
than by force of arms.
CIVILIAN VERSUS WAR.
From the earliest times our me
thods of acquiring property have been
of an assimilative and peaceful ma
ture. Indeed, it may be truly said OF
our people that the expansion of the
empire has been the logical conse-
quence of a superior civilization. Time
and again China has been overwhelm-
ed by foreign invaders from the
north. but in every case the conquer
or has surrendered to the laws, GUS
toms and institutions of the conquer
ed.
And what is arbitration? Is IL not
to submit to the judgment of an I'm
partial court the decision of the
rights and wrongs of an international
disagreement or misunderstanding? Is
1t not to do away with the old and
barbarous way of settling disputes by
bloodshed and murder? In short, when
we have arbitration we drag down the
god OF war from his bloody throne
and install in his stead justice and

SUPERVISORS TAKE Over
THE MUNICIPAL JAILS
APPROPRIATION OF $1,000 AUrHo RAED
MENTs AND REPAIRS OF HONOLULU SCHEDULE
OF ALL JAILoRs ETC, ADoPTE - PROMISE ADDITIONAL
THE NEAR FUTURE

Action was taken by the Board OF
Supervisors last night to enable work
to be started right away on the i'm
provements and repairs to Honolulu
Jail required for its complete separa-
ton from the Territorial penitentiary.
1t was resolved to insert $4,000 in the
appropriation bill for the ensuing half
yearly period for the purposes stated.
A schedule of pay of city and district
jailors, etc, was also adopted as fol-
lows:
Jailor at Honolulu Jail, Sl25; deputy
and clerk, 800; six guards at $50; two
turnkeys at $40; Eva jailer, $40; Waia-
nae, $40; Waialua. $40; Kooaloa, $40;
Koolaupoko, $40.
When prisoners go out to work in
the parks the lunas over them will be
provided by the road department.
A resolution directing that $4,000
he placed in the appropriation bill
for repairs and maintenance OF school
buildings, exclusive of pay of janitors,
and authorizing call for bids for
school furniture, was deferred because
Supervisor Cox wanted to have the
actual number of needed desks stated
to the board
Petitions from the improvement clubs
of Alewa Heights and Waialae, ETC.,
for lights produced a discussion of ad-
ditional lighting. The committee on
lights was instructed to report on
all petitions for lights thus far not
complied with, with a statement of the
cost of installing the lights requested.
In answer to a question Superintendent
Frazee stated that the absence of lights
on the wharves-with special refer
ence to the Hackfeld wharf at which an
automobile accident happened Friday
night--was due to objections of pilots
who found them dangerous to naviga-
ton.
The chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee informed the board
that the draft of appropriation bill
items contained provision for addl-
tional lights, and that on the compile
ton of Nuuanu dam the Board would
probably have means to utilize its
power to the extent of fifty additional
arc lights or their equivalent of mixed
lamps
Action was deferred on the Mayor S
appointments of city physician and
milk inspector, for the expressed
purpose of awaiting other appoint
ments due and having all considered al

the dawning of this new day. We are
elated at the triumph of law and rea-
son over brute force. Arbitration is in

we only regret that our efforts to

serve.

arrive when compulsory arbitration
will be made the law of nations"
DANGERS IN HERO WORSHIP.
Speaking of the Cnief causes of war
and their remedies, DR.. WI said:
Men like martial honor and fame;
to enable them to obtain those there
must be opportunities for them to dis
tinguish themselves. 1t must not be
supposed that / attribute to them-ei-
Their military or naval men-such hard
heartedness and cruelty as to wish for
war. No, on the contrary. | believe
such men, generally speaking, are
llindhearted and humane, and would
not shed a drop of blood needlessly.
But when general or an admiral who
has won a battle is showered with
honors and made 4 great hero of the
country or when a statesman has car
ried through a successful war for his
country is praised and lauded to the
sky by his countrymen, IS it not too
much to expect from human nature
that men do not sometimes yearn for
an opportunity justifiable occasion
for war in order to distinguish
themselves? Is not this encouraging
people to fight?
ITO avert war and encourage ar
bitration, in my humble opinion, the
public and in fact the whole world,
should be educated to look upon war
as a most disastrous and accursed
event, and those engaged in the strug-
gle, both successfully and unsucess-
fully, should not be worshipped as
they have been. A statesman who has
avoided a disastrous war should be
more honored than a great general. -

was sent to the Board, that the matter
would remain in allegiance until after

ing, Il should think that. after the

Mr.. Rivenburgh, the new secretary
to the Mayor, sat next the chair at
the opening of the meeting. Later he
gave the place up to his predecessor
when the latter came in after which
the following resolution was moved
and unanimously carried:
Resolved, That the Board of Super
Visors of the City and ounty of Ho-
nolulu, Territory of Hawaii, tenders to
Mr.. Charles l.. Rhodes, on his retire
ment from the Office of Secretary to

Mr.. Rhodes returned thanks for the
expression of personal regard stating
that he was leaving the Territory with

Der of labor and supply demands
was passed. The Board adjourned to
