Repetition of the unfair tactics charg-
ed by Senator Carter in the senate
against banking interests in their
methods of opposing the postal saw
ings bank bill has just been reported
from Chicago whence was sent out tine
misleading and inaccurate propaganda
against that measure which Senator
Carter exposed, George E. Roberts,
president of the Commercial National
Bank and former director of the mint
is made the latest scapegoat of the
American Bankers Association. A
speech which ne made months ago be-
fore the pending postal savings bank
bill was amended in important partic-
ulars and in which Mr.. Roberts cri-
ticised the measure on these points has
been sent out broadcast by Chairman
TOtOr of the Postal Savings commit
tee of the American Bankers Associa-
tion, notwithstanding it does not state
the present provisions of the Carter
bill at all. "The bankers educational
propaganda has been found persistent
ly to state the case and seek to
create opponents on entirely wrong
promises" states a bulletin of the
Postal Savings Bank League "Not-
withsanding that the amendments pro-
vide that state banks may also boom

deposits the committee of bankers, VINO
say they are unselfish in their fight
against this popular measure, are Civ
ing wide currency to statements that
are not true now. 1t is unfair to the
public and to Mr.. Roberts but it is
being done. The main purpose is to
beat the postal savings bank bill some
how, anyhow, but beat it. 1t cannot
be beaten with facts.

had as result of the panic. Railroads
also report more travel to the far

Rare Gases in the Air.

Samples of pure air from height
of eight and one-half miles have been
collected by Teisserence de Fort, the
French investigator, in his observa-
tions on the rare gases, especially
argon, neon and helium. The collect
ing apparatus-a vacuum tube drawn
out to a fine point at one end-was
carried up by a large sounding bal
loon. At the desired height an cleo
tromagnetic device operated by a
barometer broke off the point admit.
ting the air, and a few minutes later
a second contact sent battery cur.
rent through platinum wire around
the broken end, melting the glass and
sealing the tube. All samples thus
obtained show argon and neon, no
helium being found in air from above
six miles.

CUPID MUST FIGHT RED TAPE.
Ludlcrous Mistake in French Law
Hard to Correct.


Curious difficulties occasionally be-
set young people who wish to marry
in France. A young Frenchman pro-
posed recently to a a Mile. Eugene,
and was accepted. The parents be-
gan collecting the mass of legal pa
pers required for French marriages.
Among the first to be obtained was
Mdlle. Eugenie's birth certificate, and
when they got it they found that she
was registered a boy. She is put
down in the big book as male, and
a male she remains legally and admin.
istratiyely.
Her parents pointed out first, that
she was obviously, de facto, girl;
second, that the Christian name of Eu-
genie entered in the register was fem
inine; and third that ii she had been
boy she would already have been
called up for the conscrtption, being of
age. The authorities replied that none
of these arguments were legally and
administratively valid, and that she
continued to be boy.
Administrative reports. procedure,
and a decision of the courts, all at
the parents expense, will be required
before the law acknowledges Mdlle.
Eugene to be of the feminine sex and
allows her to marry.

How long it requires an Irishman to
become an American is another story.
The federal statutes, of course, have
their own crude opinions on the sub
1ect; but those authorities are apt to
be influenced by prosaic fact rather
than by divine instinct

that one of them, an Englishman, lis.
tened few minutes to the tremendous
cannonade and cracker firing that

Dolls Become Idols.

A lady missionary recently left
Croydon for Qua Iboe, on the west
coast of Africa, taking with her a
large assortment of dolls to give to na,
tive girls.
On arrival, however, the missionary
already there decided that the intend
ed gifts should not be distributed, be
cause" it is explained, "the instinct OF
worship would in all probability exalt
the dolls to the position of idols" So
they are all being sent back to Eng

Bloom on the Egg.

II know these eggs, at least, are
fresh," said the young housewife. "As
I took them from the basket, white
bloom, like the down of peach, came
off my hands,"
Her husband, a food expert, gave a
sneering laugh.
In that case" he said, 81 will fore

bloom, as you so POLITICALLY call it, is
lime dust. 1t shows that the eggs are
picked. Lime dust, which rubs of
like flour, is the surest test we have
for picked eggs-a not unwholesome
article, but not to be compared with
the new-laid sort"

STRIKER CROWS UGLY
AND LANDS IN JAIL

Because ne made threats to kill two
japanese strikers who wished to &c hack
to work Old Kaauku plantation. Kama
noeKono, a member ca the Higher Wage
Association, was arrested at Punaluu
yesterday by tae police there and
brought to this city. He is now lodged
in the city bastile.
Kamano Kono is one of the most
radical type of the strikers, according
to information at hand, and when he
learned that the two japanese work
men in question intended to go back
on the plantation, told them that he
would kill them if they did. Kamano
was brought from Punaluu by the Off
GERS at that place.
Sheriff Jarrett expects that the wit
nesses against Kamano will be brought
from windward Oahu this morning or
afternoon. So far as the Sheriff knows,
the two who were threatened will be
the only ones brought over, but his
information regarding the case is
rather meager as yet.

telling you that certain parties who
are prominently identified with indie
pendent refineries in the East are dis.
eussing the advisability of extending
their operations to the Coast. This de-
ponds, of course, on the refusal of those
in control of the situation on the Coast
to readjust the prices and to place the
market on more equitable basis. The
freight rate between the Hawaiian Is
lands and San Francisco is about 14c.

ian planters It is believed that IL. O.
Havemeyer was interested in the lat
ter project. There are also some beet
sugar plants there. These concerns on
the coast, according to the popular i'm
preston, work in harmony. This ac-
counts for the fact that they are en-
abled to get a relatively higher price
for their product in California than the

NEW YORK, June 9.-According to
story told in lower Wall Street yes
terday, certain independent sugar re-
fning interests are considering the
proposition of competing for business
with the combination on the Pacific
Coast, where the Western Sugar Rein
ing Company and the Californian Ha-
waiian Sugar Refining Company, which
are supposed to work in harmony, now
have everything their own way. These
talked-of plans have not yet taken def
mite shape, although it is pointed out
By an official of one of the independent
concerns that unless the current high
prices quoted for sugar in San Fran
cisco by interests now in control of
the situation there are lowered to con-
form with those prevailing in the East,
1t Will not be long before plans look
ing to the erection of plants at San
Francisco will be decided upon.
In reply to question on the subject
the head of a large sugar refining con-
Germ, in speaking about this matter yes
terday, made the following statement
to a representative of this journal:
" As the situation stands now, refined
sugar in California, where there is no
competition, is bringing something like
5.50c., without the refners having to
pay any duty on sugar coming from
the Hawaiian Islands. This compares
with 4.S5c., the price ruling in this
market. where there is much rivalry for
business. In other words. the combina-
ton on the Coast has everything its
own way, and for that reason it is dis
posed to obtain tia highest price posi-
BILE for its sugar. This has invited con-
siderable criticism among many per-
