island traffic, which is nearly as much
additional.
Although the tonnage entered has in
creased from 2,504 to 1,159,ll8 since
the organization of the territorial gov
eminent, the number of vessels has
steadily decreased from TO5 to 39l.
This is due mainly to the substitution
OF steamships for sailing vessels.
For many years about three fourths
of the vessels and of the tonnage have
been under the American flag. while
about nine tenths of the freight has
been carried in American bottoms.
American vessels of course carry all
the freight between Hawaii and the
mainland and they carry also nearly
half the freight in the trade with for
eign countries.
Transportation Facilities
The matter of transportation facili-
ties is of greatest Importance in Ha-
waii. There is need of more railroads
upon the several islands. at least one
good harbor on each island, and two
on the largest, a reduction of freight
and passenger rates, and especially an

regard to the handling of ieprosy, which
it is believed will within a reasonably
short period result in the practical
eradication of that disease if that can
be accomplished at all. Provision was
made also for inaugurating a campaign
by the territorial board of health
against tuberculosis.
Other bills include one of an al

courts. one providing for indeterminate
sentences. and one for the establishment

The presidents task of finding
capable and discreet minister for the

| of these judges, wrote for all time.
The other type has recognized that all
things change in this world, that the
law of a hundred years. ago might,
when rigidly Interpreted according to
precedent, be- archaic, united to the
times, an agency of oppression and
filled with thousand possibilities for
/ injustice. The line between the old

must find a candidate who is part of
the procession, not milestone for an
ancient day.

to fill the vacancy would have been
comparatively easy One of two men
would have been chosen, Judge George

POLLY PLAYS A LEADING PART
FRUSTRATES THE PLANS OF A
RUNAWAY WIFE.
Informs Pursuing Husband That His
Helpmate "Has Conc to the Coun-
try''-Reconciliation Effected.

CHICAGO, November 5.-The screech-
ing Of a parrot in the La Sale street sta
ton last night frustrated the plans Of a
runaway wife. and later the bird was the
means Of effecting q reconciliation be-
tween the woman and her husband.
The couple were married a year ago at
South Bend. Ind. Among the wedding
gifts they received was the parrot.
When the husband returned home from
work last evening he discovered that his
wife had gone. taking a satchel filled
with clothes and the talkative bird.
Surmising that she had left him to go
back to her old home, the man hurried to
the La Sale street station. He searched
through the waiting rooms, but his wife
was not there. Just as he was leaving
the building he heard a parrot screech.
The sound came from the parcel room on
the main floor. Thrusting his head through
an opening his gaze fell upon the bird
In its cage.
Hello" said he. pursuing up his lips
and making. a kissing sound. Polly
Polly Knows Papa"
Hello papa: hello" shouted the parrot,
striking its beak against the cage in an
attempt to escape from its prison.
The husband had found the parrot, but
where was his wife? He went to the
Harrison street police station and asked
for assistance.
Detectives were put on the case by
Lieut.. Bonheld. and they decided to wait
for the return Of the women to the parcel
room. A Lake Shore train would leave
for South Bend at 1926 o'clock Five
minutes after the departure Of the train
the wife came running up the steps
to the waiting room At her side was
a man who carried her satcheL The par
rot was handed out to her by the clerk
In charge of the parcel room. and as she
turned her husband ran up and grabbed
her by the arm. In the meantime the
two detectives had approached her es-
cort.
MY wife's gone to the country"
screamed the bird.
The husband and wife, her companion
and the parrot were taken to the police
station, where q reconciliation soon fol-
lowed. The wife denied that she was
clipping. but said she was leaving her
husband.
