the settler of moderate means in
trying to build a substantial home
for his family. In many cases
they have paid fine monthly sal
airy to those who wished to take
advantage of such liberal offers by
employing them at their mill and
logging camps, exchanging at the
the same low figure which they sold
lumber for on the local market, for
the high monthly salary they paid
such settlers. We do not wish to

AMALGAMAT|ON
DOUBLY DENIED
H. P. Baldwin and w. A. Kinney
Each EmphaticalIy
Say ''No."

A double authoritative denial was
given yesterday to the report from
Kauai that the Makaweli and McBryde
plantations were to be amalgamated
into one corporation.
H. P. Baldwin stated that he wished
to deny absolutely that there is any
proposal directly or indirectly tending
towards an amalgamation of the two
Kauai plantations.
W. A. Kinney. who represents the
McBryde interests. said:
''There is nothing in it. Until Me
Bryde has an adequate supply of
water and it is actually proven by
results what it can do, neither we nor
anyone else know what the property
is worth.
Under these circumstances, to talk
even of amalgamation is absurd. The
control of both plantations under one
agency assures a maintenance of the
harmony heretofore existing between
the two places, and that is about all
the advantage to be secured by an
actual amalgamation.
q notice there has been no ANAL
gamation of the East Maui planta-
tlons with Hawaiian Commercial,
though all are understood to be con
trolled practically by the same parties.
| do not see why such policy should
not apply equally well to the proper
ties IN question on Kauai.

Executed without Trial
AGITATION STARTED
FOR INTERSTATE LAWS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. November 30--Fol-
lowing conference of the President
and cabinet at the White House yes
terday, it has been announced that the
administration will do its utmost and
exert all the influence possible to Sc
cure a comprehensive revision OF the
interstate commerce laws.
The growing problems occurring in
the regulation of interstate traffic and
the increased powers Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission have necessi-
tated radical reform in several laws
and the addition of new ones. Cali
fornia has been particularly prominent
in the agitation for legislation of this
kind, several months ago it calling
upon the commission to settle dead
lock between independent oil producers
and the "Trust. -
The Southern Pacific S rapacity in
Southern California, Arizona and Nay
Mexico. which has so hurt fruit-produc-
ers, has slipped through several nets
set to catch 1t by the commission, and
it is probable that this is a main
influence in bringing the administra-
tion out so prominently on the subject.

College of Hawaii viii Install a
Telescope if a Place Is
Supplied.

+ With Halley's comet approaching the
earth so rapidly that it will be visible
in the Pacific Ocean region the latter
part of January and remain so for the
next three months, the president and
faculty of the College of Hawaii are
anxious that their fine new six-inch b
telescope may be available for the pur.
pose of taking scientific observations of
the great phenomenon. The College of
Hawaii not only has the telescope. but
has an equatorial transit and other
pieces of astronomical equipment as

But there is no structure in which to
place these valuable instruments. The
college has plot of ground on high
elevation in kaimuki obtained from the
Territory, and President Gilmore hopes
TO be able to place his telescope there
But there is no money available for
erecting building. He states that a
minimum cost for a wooden building
would be a thousand dollars. Such a
structure could house the instruments
and from there observations of the Hal
ley comet could be made. President
Gilmore is rather backward about ask
ing for funds from the public for such
building, yet he states that if the
telescope is not used while the HALEY
comet is in view. Honolulu people will
lose great opportunity.
He proposes. if the building is erect
ed and the telescope and other instru-
ments are installed. to have the faculty
give popular lectures with demonstra-
tions, while the comet is in view. on

Donaggho, who is the professor OF as

instruction two or three evenings a

MAY COAL HERE
WITHOUT DUTY
Steamships Calling for Bunker
Coal or Oil to Pay Only
Port Charges.
WILL REMIT TONNAGE DUTY
Ruling of Bureau of Navigation
Will Mean Much When
Canal Is Open.
WILL REMIT TONNAGE DUTY

What should mean much to this port
was received yesterday in the shape of
a department of commerce and labor
ruling by Collector of the Port Stack
able, this being an official statement
TO the effect that steamships calling
here for bunker coal or bunker oil are
not to be regarded as Gin trade and
consequently will not have to pay the
regular tonnage duty exacted from
steamships calling under other condi-
tions. The significance of this to Ho-
nolulu lies in the fact that with the
completion of the Panama Canal thus
port should become one of the great
eoaling ports of call in the world
Heretofore, every vessel calling at
this port, and the same prevailed at
all American ports, paid the tonnage
duty. except those vessels coming in
in distress or such vessels as pleasure
yachts. Every commercial vessel had
to pay from two to six cents per net
ton, the lower rate if coming from an
American port or from port in a
contiguous territory, which included all
Central America and the islands of the
Caribbean Sea, as well as Canada and
Mexico; the higher rate if from a for
eign port. This was in addition to the
regular harbor dues.
This had been according to the de-
partmental ruling, a ruling reversed by
the decision received yesterday, whieh
said, in part: "FThe bureau holds that
vessels from foreign ports entering or
touching solely for the purpose of TAX
ing on bunker coal, sufficient only 10
enable them to complete the voyage,
are, IN the opnion of this bureau, ives
sells not engaged in trade within the
intent of Section SO of the act of Au-
gust 5, 1909, and are, accordingly,
exempt from the tonnage duties pre-
scribed by that section
This duty amounts to considerable to
shipowners. Yesterday, for instance
the British steamer Pima arrived from
a South American port to take on
bunker oil. She has a registered net
tonnage of 1867 tons, which, at the
rate of six cents a ton. would mean
that Stackable would have collected
$256.02 if she had arrived Saturday or
Sunday, before he received his off
