The San Francisco Post of September

lani" of Honolulu, visiting the Peta-
luna home of Mr.. and Mrs. Barinerd,
and the question arises who is the
Princess Kalani. Princess Kawanana-
koa is not meant, and Princess Kala-

referred to is probably a charming
young Hawaiian woman who occupies
government position here and is TAX

P. C. JONES BROKE
SPEED LAWS IN CHICAGO

Peter G. Jones, the Honolulu capital
list, made a spectacular rush across the
city of Chicago in order to make con-
nections with an east4bound train that
would get him into Boston in record
time from Honolulu to the Atlantic
Coast. The Chicago Post of September
9 says:
"a rush across the city in cab

"The steamship on which Mr.. Jones

rency, which has proved an unqualified
success-and a size which. when it Is
not brought into direct comparison
with the present note, and when not
scrutinized, would not, to most peo-
pie. present a noticeable change From
the Treasury point of view, the pro-
posed reduction would result In an es-
timated saving to the government OF
$612.603 every year. This econ
omy would be gained from various
sources. For example. we would print
five notes where we print four now,
and the increased production OF % per

various processes of wetting, exam'n-
Ing. counting, drying, numbering. seal
ing, separating, etc. would save more
than 100000 a year alone. The saving
In the cost of paper would be almost
$4,000. and the decrease in the cost of
plate printing would amount to almost
$4,000. These, with a possible re-
ductlon of the force in the redemption
division of the Treasurer's office, due to
the smaller number of notes redeemed
because OF the longer life of the small
er notes, represent the chief items in
this estimate Of $612,O0O.

The department might feel warrant

somewhat different proposition is pre-

that public convenience is more or
