The New York Globe, a staunch Republi-
can paper, Is severely crlticising President
Taft for his reported determination not to
include In his message any specific recommen-
dations for the amendment of the antitrust
law.
The Presidents. reported reason that his
having been a Judge would make it improper
to express an opinion at time when impor-
tant cases are before the Supreme Court won't
be accepted by the people.
The recent decision Of the Court of APP
peals d1ssolving the Standard Oil Company,
the Pinehot- Ballinger controversy over the
stealing of thousands of acres of our richest
mineral and forest lands, and the frauds that
are being uncovered in the trial of former
Sugar Trust officials have put the people too
much In thinking frame of mind to accept
any Sucn ABSURD excuse.
If ever there was time when Congress
should be urged to amend the nti-trust law,
that time is now It matters little about Mr..
Taft's having been Judge.
If he will only rise to the occasion like
brave man, he will find the country with him.
But another thing, does Mr.. Taft mean to
infer that the United States Supreme Court
is so weak that his word would influence it
one way or another in deciding the Standard
Oil case?
Mr.. Taft had better look little ahead
Another Congressional election is less than
one year away, and the record of the present
one is bad so far, Another session like the
extra one spells defeat for Mr. Taft just as
sure as the election is held
The trial of Henry Clay Pierce, head of
the Waters Pierce Oil Company, which is one
of the Standards subsidiaries, is now in
progress at Austin, Texas
1t will be remembered that Texas prose
cuted the Waters Pierce company for more
than year before the company was finally
driven out of the State, besides being made to
pay heavy fine.
Pierce and his company, through it's connec-
lions with such men as Senator Bailey, man
aged to slip through the net long time, but
the oil company was finally caught Pierce

for false swearing but like other big trust

KAUAI RAILWAY.

A number of papers were filed late
yesterday, showing various convey
ances of property between Davies &
Company, McBryde Sugar Company,
Kauai Railway Company and other
parties, all being for the purpose Of
charging and improving the terminal
facilities of the Kauai railroad The
transactions were the direct outcome
of the increase of the bonded indebt-
edness of the Kauai railroad, which
was noted a week or more ago. The
deals put through will mean a great
deal for Port Allen, the Kauai rail-
way and incidentally, the McBryde
Sugar Company.

Commercial News
BY L. D. TIMMONS.

The stock market remains firm, and
the indications still are of vigorous
reopening after the new year has got
ten under way. At no hand are there
any indications of prices lower than
the averages for December. On the
other hand, everything points to great
er strength and correspondingly more
trading.
There have been further sales OF
Hawaiian Sugar on the streets at $52,
at which the stock seems to be very
strong. A few shares of Oahu have
been sold today at 1913.
Interest in Paia and Haiku has in
creased rapidly in the past few days,
for these stocks. They are 17.6 per
cent propositions, basis of 1909, and
are slated for greater demand at high
er figures
Other quotations remain about the
same.
Most of the brokers are giving their
entire time at present to winding up
the business of the year, otherwise
there would doubtless be quite lively
TRADING, interest in stocks being un-
eXpectedly strong.

owns the building is not involved in the lease to the city, negotiations, it is al- legged, having been carried on by specially appointed agents.
 MT. Wayman, since the investigation of the lease began, has, it Is reported, been visited by associates of the prin- cipals involved in the scandal, urging him to drop the investigation. To these he replied that if sufficient evidence was unearthed the matter would be presented to the grand jury, no matter where 1t struck.
 Investigators employed by States Attor- hey Wayman reported late today that they had discovered a ring which is all legged to control the sidewalk fruit and flower stands in the downtown districts.
 According to the report every owner of these sidewalks stands is required to pay a certain sum weekly for police pro- lection and all others who desire to en- gage in this line of business inside the loop district are arrested and compelled to turn over their locationl to the men who have made their peace with those in control of the traffic The stands are all operated by Greeks, many of whom rent stores with basements and transact most of their business on the sidewalk in vio- lation of the city ordinances.
 The collectors for this privilege are said to be a detective sergeant and a former convict, who is in favor with the city hall crowd. The amount collected is said to average $25 a week from each stand.

HOTEL ENTERTAINING IN
 NEW YORK
Guests of St. Regis May Entertain
 Friends There As
PERFECTLY AS AT HOME

Formerly all hotel life spelled cheer lessness, and conditions have changed but little today in that class of hotels where the rooms consist of straight rows of narrow, comfortless and box-lilIe bed rooms. At such hotels guests sleep and get out; they do not live there. At the St. Regis, located at Fifth avenue and Fifty-ffth street. New York city-admit- tedly the most exquisltely arranged and furnished hotel in America-the features of hotel living with home comforts and privacy, and facilities for the entertain ment of friends, have been carried to an extent that places this hotel in a class by itself. A week or month spent in the metropolis during the opera season, the horse show, at Easter and at other times, will be much more fully enjoyed if one is able to make some suitable re- turn for the hospitalites of resident friends. At the St. Regis this Is possible under conditions equal if not superior to those of the highest class private resi- dences. Guests can be afforded facilities for entertaining friends in any manner that heart can wish, from quiet tete-a- tete luncheon to an elaborate formal din- ner The famous cuisine of the St. Regis, equal in all respects to the most cele- brated restaurants of Europe, lends itself admirably to such arrangements, and it's prices are no higher than any other first class hotel Room rates at the St. Regis are likewise low: $3 to $4 a day for a commodious and luxuriously furnished single room; the same with private bath for $5 a day tor s6 for two people,; or SIP a day and up for a superb suite of parlor, bedroom and private bath

NOVEL CONTEST
 INTERESTS AUToMOBlLISTS.

A contest of much significance to the motor-mad of the north and south has been lately arranged to take place be- tween New York city and Atlanta some time in the near future. ~rhe distance is a thousand miles and great prepara- tions must take place before 1t can be travelled by the machines in a contest such as is planned. This, of course, will meet with the approval of all enthus- lasts, especially those who find pleas ure in long journeys. The plan Is a novel one-the purpose being to develop good roads and test the reliability and accuracy of automobiles without refer ence to the usual motive-speed. Prizes will be offered for the improvement of highways in each county along the route It is scheduled to take place in Novem- Der, 1909. No more delightful season of the year could have been chosen and the appropriateness of the time is further emphasized by the fact that the first great national automobile show of the year is to take place in Atlanta's new auditorium armory building in the latter part of November.
 However the phase of the contest which most appeals to Birmingham motorists is the promise of road development from New York to the southern city. The movement is an excellent one and should be fraught with great possibilities for the cementng of intimate relations be- tween the north and south in a social way and in the extension of commercial intercourse to far greater degree than at Dresent

 It is alleged that the. city. is paying a rental of $99,000 a year, despite the fact that the same building was offered to pr- vate firms and individuals previous to the signing of the lease with the city, for one-third of that amount.

Disastrous Reiqn Ends.

London, April 2S.-Abdul Hamids disas- trous reign which opened with Bull garian atrocities closes in a most dramat- ic fashion with massacres of Arnnenians in Anatolia. His disappearance as Sultan causes but few regrets abroad, but the course Of Turkish affairs will still be watched with great anxiety. The Young Turks acted boldly and swiftly, and have not infamed the countrys religious sus- capabilities. The orthodoxy of the Young Turks, however, is regarded with consid- erable suspicion by large sections of the strict Mohammedans. Therefore it is too early to prophecy a quiet reign for Me hemmed V. According to the Morning Posts correspondence, 95 per cent of tfe population of the city were in favor of the recent reactionary mutinY.
