needed
Who is the Loser?
When the brilliant copyrighted
contest opened, the bunc with a wave
or banners and toot of trumpets, an
nounced that the many young ladies
,shad "been nominated by friends, VINO
were working to have their favorites
win. Within two weeks thereafter the
list was culled down to one-fifth the
original size, and q casual observer
is forced to wonder who loses the coin
that is said to have been expended for
the hundred thousand votes that went
glimmering with the elimination of
certain names. Some there were. who
voluntarily withdrew; others were
found TO have died some time ago;
one young lady was barred because OF
the color line, and three young men
have been entered as young ladies'"
The assertion. backed by reward
of $500 was made a short time ago to
the effect the contest was all ION the
square" The $500 was to have been
paid the person who proved otherwise,
but after The Statesman called the
bluff and furnished the proof. the bupc
crowd took a sneak-the manager to
Co hic Oft RI Tako
and the balance Of the gang to the
timber. 1t is now impossible to men
ton the bunc's contest without get
ting the "horselaugh' and the crowd
down the street are wondering where
they are going to get off when it
comes time to distribute those prozes
and but four monthly subscriptions
have been turned in.
The Statesman has won more by the
called contest than has the rag in
whose interests it Was inaugurated,
and The Statesman win venture the
scriptions have been received at this
office as have been booked down the
street. Not that The Statesman de-
sires to step in and take all the thun-
der; crooked work in any line of trade
calls for an expose, especially where
the public is being deceived, and in
giving the finer details of the bunc's
contest to it's readers, The Statesman
feels that it has done it's duty well.
For the benefit Of those who may be |
in doubt as to the reliability of the
original list of contestants sprung by |
the bunc. The Statesman gives the
following, that have been withdrawn,
or cut out by the bunc manager, as
shown by comparison of the list
published the first day with the list
published yesterday

Anty Drudge Tells Why Washboilers

Mrs. Bargain Htnter-'oh, Antyl / see by Bargain

Anty Dr7tdge-"No wonder. Since I've told the women
Of this town how much better Shey can wash clothes
with Fels-Naptha in cool orukewarm water, summer
and winter, without boiling, they have no use for
washboilers. The stores can't sell 'em to women
who have learned the way of washing, and that's
why they're 50 cheap"
Fels-Naptha takes the dirt out of
clothes instead of leaving it to elbow work
on washboard.
Little rubbing is necessary and no boil
ing or scahing.
Lukewarm or cool water-never hot.
Boiling weakens clothes and hard rub
bling wears them out.
Clothes washed the Fels-Naptha way

cleaner.

CONSUL CLOUD
UNDER A CLOUD
Uncle Sans Representative at
Mukden Has Talked
Too Much.

F. D. Cloud, United States consul at
Mukden, was a through passenger
aboard the Korea yesterday en- route
to Washington. Mr.. Cloud, according
to report, is under an official cloud.
His trouble is said to be due to his
public utterances about matters which
he as representative of the state de-
partment is supposed to say nothing.
Mr.. Cloud is reported to have forgot
ten the old adage that silence is golden.
Among his utterances were criticisms
of the japanese. The japanese sat up
and took notice and politely informed
Uncle Sam s ambassador, or his repre-
sentative at Toxic, that Mr.. Cloud was
talking too much. The subject matter
Of his talk was as politely placed before
Uncle Sam IS representative and event
ually the matter reached Washington
and went under the scrutiny of Mr..
Knox. 1t was intimated by the Jap
anese government that Mr.. Cloud was
not particularly adapted to conditions
of the Far East and his presence not
altogether conducive to that quiet and
peace under which all nations bordering
on the Pacific are existing just now.
Hence. Mr.. Cloud was called to Wash
ington to explain.
The consul is accompanied on his
homeward trip by Mrs. Cloud.

WASHINGTON. December 81. -
Yielding to the insistent demands of
Ballinger, and the pressure of his
critics, the President has ordered an in
vestigation of the conduct of the see
rotary since he took office. At meet
ing of the cabinet, to be held imme-
diately, the form which the investiga-
ton shall take will be decided upon.
President Taft yesterday announced his
intention TO call the investigator.
Secretary Ballinger practically issued
an ultimatum, informing the President
that an official investigation of the
charges against him must be made or
he would resign from office. He de-
elared that his position had become in
iolerable and that it would be impossi-
BILE for him to remain longer in the
cabinet unless official cognizanee were
taken of the charges made against him,
and the affair sifted to the bottom.

DEMAND BETTER
BUILDING LAWS
Merchants Realize Danger From
Fire in Business Section
of Honolulu.

Although no definite action has been
taken by the board of supervisors or
any of its members, the merchants of
the city have begun to awaken to a
realization of the danger faced by
property-owners in town from fire. The
statement made week ago by Fire
Chief Thurston, that fire starting
within the district radiating from Fort
and King streets would sweep the city,
should the slightest hitch occur in the
answer to the alarm, has had its eff
feet, and it is probable that the ne
eessity of framing proper laws will
soon be forced upon the city and
county officials.
W. r. Castle, president of the civic
federation, stated yesterday that a
special committee of that organization
Is preparing a report on Honolulu ten
ements which will be presented at its
next meeting on January u. This re-
port will give in full detail the pres
emit tenement system which has been
branded as shameful by officers of the
association. Owing to the fact that
cooking in the tenements is done IN
improvised stoves made out of old cans
and bricks and set directly on the
floors, this report can hardly avoid the
fire question. 1t is thought that 1t
will serve as a start towards obtaining
satisfactory legislation in this line.
A number of prominent citizens
about town yesterday expressed their
disapproval of the manner in when
this all-important detail in the city
government has been disregarded by
those supposed to enact protective laws
for the city's welfare.
eff the supervisors would only cut
out their antics.' said a business man
yesterday, ''stop attempting to pass
incomplete milk ordinances and du-
pIicative hack ordinances, and act on
those laws which the property-owners
OF this city demand. there might be
some excuse for their existence. | do
not believe that it is anybOdy's fault
in particular, but the matter has sim
ply been overlooked, and it will take
a heavy lesson to wake them up. We
have been assured by the official fed
eral chemist that the milk furnished
the householders of this city is far su-
perior to any on the mainland, and the
traffic ordinances previously passed are
almost useless as far as real regulation
goes. and are not inforced at that.
But the chief of the department.

is insufficient so to protect it, should a
