MANY REFORMS ADVOCATED
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES READ

Recording it's plea for a more general
prosecution Of the work of humane edu-
cation and advocating the establishment
of court of International arbitration to
assist in the movement for worldwide
peace, the first international humane
conference came to close yesterday
afternoon.

Museum for a week.
Unity and cooperation was the keynote
of the convention and the delegates ad-
journed with the pledged determination
to promote human progress throughout
the world.
Reports Presented.
The majority Of the visitors left Wash
ington last evening. The final session
yesterday afternoon was made notable
by the presentation of reports by the
committees charged with directing the
affairs of the meetings. Without a dis
senting vote the assemblage went on
record as opposed to the exhibition of
pernicious plays and moving pictures,
especially those depicting scenes having
tendency to instill a contempt for
foreigners.
Other resolutions adopted set forth that
the congress Is opposed to that traffic
which prospers by ministering to personal
adornment and which is carried on at the
cost or unnecessary sacrifice of bird and
beast; that all forms of street pavement
that imper1l the safety and endanger the
lives of city draft horses should be con-
demned; that England and Japan are to
pc commended for erecting monuments to
horses that persisted in recent wars, and
that side discharging carts should be
adopted by all coal companies"
A number of other measures were ap-
proved dealing with questions of interest
In various states and cities. Diplomas of
honor were awarded to those interests
that contributed to the success Of the ex-
hibition which was held In connection with
the congress
The visitors were unanimous in their
praise of the hospitality shown them in
this city, remembering particularly the
receptions Of Mrs. John B. Henderson
and Mrs. AMI L. Barber

THE GEN. WARREN RETURNS.
Has Inspected Dredging Work in
Occouuan Greek.

The United States Army engineer S
steamer General Warren returned to port
yesterday, after spending several days
in Occoquan creek inspecting the dredg-
ing work being done there by the Miner
Dredging Company of New York.
The hydraulic dredge Gray Eagle has
been employed in deepening the water in
the dredged channel through the bars In
the creek for several weeks past in order
to give a good depth Of water to the pier
which will be erected at the site of the
new workhouse of the District, In Fair
fax county, Va, opposite the town of
Occoquan.
1t is stated that about $1,000 yards of
material are to to be removed, and
several sharp turns in the channel made
more easy of navigation. so that vessels
with supplies for the workhouse can get
up the creek on an ordinary tide. The
work is now approaching completion. In
spectors aboard the General Warren were
in the creek measuring the depth of water
and looking after the work generally.

POOR LOS SCHEME HAS
BEEN WORKED TOO HARD
Claims to Be "Mixed Blood" When
He Would Sell His
Lands.

Up in the Chippewa country of Mime
sofa, Poor Lo. one of Uncle Sans wards,
has been having the time of his life for
several years past getting the land titles
In all sorts of complications. and, as a
result, his uncle is going to do all he can
to strafghten the tangle out for him.
The statute allows a mixed blood to run
foot loose, so long as he does not start
on rampage. He is also allowed to
mortgage and dispose Of his land allot-
ment as he pleases. but his relatives
who have no white blood in their veins
and whom the government looks after
more closely are not allowed to sell
anything in the way Of lands unless they
have the permission Of the Indian office.
So Poor Lo fixed up scheme to double
cross the pale face to his hearts con-
tent.
Me a mixed blood he would aver
time and again, when he sold his land.
Lo took the money and the buyer the
questionable title.
OF late there has been quite howl
on the part OF the settlers. who have
suddenly found out that the titles they
have are practically worthless, and, as
result, Uncle Sam proposes to put a
stop to this land game OF Mr.. Chippewa
Indian.
With this end in view the Indian Of
flee has sent j. H. Hinton, special agent,
to gather data at the payment of an
nuties now being distributed by John r.
Howard, superintendent of the White
Earth reservation of the Chippewas.
Mr.. Hinton wishes to see every member
of the tribe and will spend about six
weeks with Mr.. Howard, and in that
time will try to ascertain who are the
mixed and who the full bloods.
The government contends that though
the full blood may have sworn he is
mixed blood, the title does not vest in
the purchaser. and the Indian Office
wants to push the work of clearing up
the titles at the first possible moment.

About Fornosa Sugar.

About Formosa Sugar.
The Beet Sugar Gazette for July
publishes the following
william Dyer, assistant superin-
tendent of TIE Honolulu Iron Works,
returned recently from Formosa and
the Philippines, where he has been
looking after business matters for his
company. Mr.. Dyer is greatly Inn
pressed with the future possibilities
of sugar production in Formosa. lie
states that there are at present in
course of erection in the island of For
mosa six modern sugar factories with
capacities ranging from 500 to 1900
tons of cane per "a hours. One of
these Is in reality an enlargement of
an existing factory--that Of Ako
which is being increased to capacity
of $500 tons instead of l,20O as orig
inaliy constructed. All of these fac
tories are located in the southern part
of the islands and are being erected by
British, German and American engi-
neers. In this particular class OF
work the Honolulu Iron Works has
the advantage of experience in tho
Hawaiian Islands and, while the other
mills are being erected by the very
best engineers in the world, when II
comes to detail the Hawaiian COM
pany has a great many advantages
over the others.
Next year Formosa will be in a po-
sition to fully supply Japan with raw
sugar. This whole development has
been made since 1906 and is some.
thing really remarkable. The pres.
ent sugar consumption of Japan is
something like 100000 tons, which had

good showing of business in local

week before, possibly caused by the
plebisci,o. was completely overcome

come to the surface and most of the

stocks have changed hands, mostly be-
tween boards.
On Monday block OF fifty shares
Of Kekaha came to the surface and
changed hands at 200. The standing
bid for this stock is 1876 but there
seems to be very little of 1t floating
around at that figure. Oahu has skip

and quite a number of shares have
moved at that figure.

stocks that are looked to with con-

the course of the week.

To this protest has been added that
of the Hilo Board of Trade against
hasty action by the Government, The
protests have had their effect and the
matter is still in abeyance. The grant
ing Of the license in the form proposed
would establish bad precedent, in
the opinion of the protestants, as It
would place the control of the wharf
absolutely in the hands of the Hllo
Railway Company.

Building Active.

Building operations on Oahu, and
especially in the suburbs of Honolulu,
have never been prosecuted to such
an extent as at the present time.
There are fully forty buildings under
construction in that part of the city
lying cast of Moiliili. II is a fact that
the new buildings are so thick in that
growing district that the odor from
the new lumber makes one think that
they are in the region of a saw mill.
The new McInerny block. which is
proposed for the corner of King and
Bisbop streets, is being held up await
ing developments in the new Federal
building site. II is proposed to wait
and see what the business needs of
that section will be before erecting a
building that is to cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000. Such being the
fact II will probably be some time be-
