BIG BOaLH M MEETING
Idaho Senator Addressed
Large RalhdTum Crowd.
PROBLEM OF TRUST CONTROL
Most Important Industrial Ques-
tion to be Solved.

United States Senator w. E.
Borah addressed large audience
at the fraternal hall Monday even
ing. Mr.. R. c Thompson, who
mas been acting as precinct com.
mitteeman at all the republican
meetings held here, presided
again. Local candidates on the
rostrum were V. E. Waltman.
candidate for commissioner for the
first district, and John Young for
the third; ]. F. Pollok, candidate
tor county treasurer; c. H. Potts,
candidate for state senator; r. N.
Dunn, candidate for district Judge;
Jas. A. Foster, candidate for clerk
OF the district court, and c. E.
Acton, candidate for assessor. D.
X. Adams, candidate for sheriff,
was also present.
Speaking on state issues Senator
Borah took the stand that the peo.
pie of Idaho have right to vote
on the question of statewide pro-
hibition by constitutional amend
ment. 1t is an inherent right as
dear to the people as any other
right which they have, he said,
and the democrats have no right,
ne said, to say the people shall not
be permitted to dispose OF the
liquor question in that manner.
He said sixteen counties in Idaho
are now "dry," showing that a
large majority in the state are
against the saloon, and he declared
that the constitutional amendment
method is much better and more
permanent way to dispose of the
question than by legislative enact
ment; by the constitutional amend
ment the people can decide the
question by their votes while by
the legislative enactment the mat
ter is left to the members of the
legislature for settlement.
Referring briefly to the Los,
River Carey act project and the
Mackay dam, Senator Borah as.
serted that the trouble that had
arisen due to expert opinion that
the dam was not safe, was unfor-
seen and unavoidable, and he
believed that Governor Brady had
done the wise thing in stopping
the work until all question, as to
the efficiency OF the dam and the
safety of the lives of the people
living below it, was completely re-
moved.
Turning to the national issues
he explained at leugth his well
known views on the tariff, the
trusts, and the income tax. He
declared the reduction made in the
tariff on lumber, hides, etc.. has
had no effect on the prices the
people have to pay for lumber,
shoes and other necessaries, be-
cause the trusts have complete
control OF the prices, and he in
ferred that no matter how low the
tariff is placed on any commodity
the price the people have to pay
would still be just what the trusts
chose to fix upon it. His conten-
tion was that the trusts, and not
the tariff, are the cause of the high
price OF living Some one in the
audience asked Chow about
sugar" Senator Borah said sugar
was in the same category with
tobacco and the other commodit-
ies-the price is controlled by the
trusts.
The struggle now on in this
country to control the corporations
and great combinations of wealth,
he said, is one of tile most colossal
that has ever engaged the people
of this nation. 1t is the greatest
problem now confronting the peo-

STANDING ARMY OF
THE FIRE FIGHTERS

WASHINGTON, January S.-The
number of city employees of the fire de.
partment in the 15S cities treated of in
the Forthcoming United States census
bulletin relative to the statistics of
cities of 100000 and more estimated
population in 1907, was 29,055, or near.
ly three-fourths of the number of EN-.
ployes of the police departments in the
same cities. Fire pEotection in many
cities, however, is furnished in large
measure by volunteer fire organization
so that the fire fglHhg force is some
what larger than the police force.
Call men are numerically unimport.
ant in the cities with a population of
over 100000, and in the last few years
there has been marked tendency for
all cities of over 10000 inhabitants to
replace call men with regular men.
1t is stated that, by presenting the
number of regular fremen per 10000
inhabitants, the number per 1000 Acres
of land area, and the number per 100
miles of improved streets, opportunity
is afforded for conf Aring the effective

BIC STAKES IN
DIPLOMACY GAME
Tariff War Impends Between
the United States and
Germany.

BERLIN, January 1.-THE United
States government yesterday informed
the German foreign Office that it would
regard the adoption by the Reichstag
of the proposed potash law as a dis
elimination against American inter
ests.
WASHINGTON, January 12.-Nearly
half billion dollars worth of trade
is the stake in the game of diplomacy
now in progress between America and
Germany and the issue will be known
within a month.
On February z, in accordance with
the notice given to Germany last April
by the state department, the recipro-
city agreement made under the Dingley
Act with Germany will expire and
simultaneously the general tariff rates
of that country will apply to all i'm
ports from America, unless IN the short
period intervening, Secretary Knox and
the German ambassador reach NUT.
ually satisfactory understanding.
AT the moment the indications are
that this understanding is beyond at
talnment and that it will be only un-
der the stress of bitter and costly
struggle that the two nations can com
pose their differences and restore their
trade to normal conditions.
America will not be the only sufferer
from this rupture, for on April 7 next
the full rigors of the maximum tariff
rates carried by the Payne Aldrich
tariff act will be automatically applied
to the vast German import trade, which
in 1908 aggregated more than $780,
100000, and every article of German
production coming to America must pay
twenty-fi per cent. increase in the
duty. 700
Negotiations have been in PROFESS
for months between the two govern
ments to avoid this issue, but an OBJ
stacle has been reached in the demand
of the state department for the re-
Taxation of the German prohibition
against American cattle.
The German government takes the
position that these restrictions, founded
on veterinary and sanitary grounds,
embodied in laws of general applica-
ton, can not be regarded properly as
discriminatory against the United
States and that it would be as reason
able to expect America to repeal or
suspend the pure food law as to re-
quire the German government to dis
regard the provisions of the animal i'm
portation act.

MIGHT RELEASE
MANY PRISONERS
Important Legal Point Argued.
Before Judge De Bolt in a
Kihe Matter. !

A legal point was argued IN Judge
De Bolts court yesterday afternoon
which, if the question raised be answer
ed in the affirmative, may have the
effect of releasing large number of
prisoners now in the territorial prison,
j. w. H. /. Kihe, by his attorney,
Leon Straus, applied to the court for
release from prison, on the ground that
under the law he was entitled to such
release. Kihe was sentenced by Judge
Matthewman to year in Jail and to
pay fine of $500, the crime of which
he was convicted being forgery. He
has served the year but has no money
to pay the fine. His attorney contends
that he should be released on taking
the poor convict's oath that he has no
money or property with which to pay
his fine.
Deputy Attorney General Sutton, rep
resenting the Territory, holds, on the
other hand, that the law says that
| poor convict who has served not less
| than year in Jail for felony and
who still has a fine to pay and no
money with which to pay it, may be
released after he has served another
year in lieu of the fine. The law is GER
tainly very poorly worded and there is,
| apparently, the chance for question
as to what it really means. Judge De
Bolt took the matter under advisement.
But should Kihe be given his freedom,
there are many Others serving out fines
and costs who would be equally en-
titled to their freedom.

THE BUSINESS WORLD
Churchill Harvey Elder. Financial Edisor.

The First National Bank is to have
new home which will be a model for
other institutions of the kind, if the
present plans of the directors are car
ried out. The bank now owns the land
on Bishop street extending from the
Wey property, lately purchased by the
McInernys, down to Merchant street
and the plan is to erect a structure which
will occupy the entire site.
The property all belonged originally
to the Peacock interests, a portion of
it later being sold to the telephone
company. When the bank decided to
build, the entire piece was bought, the
final transactions being completed only
this week.
Some time in May, L. Tenney Peck,
cashier of the bank, will leave for the
mainland to make a study of bank
buildings. Mr.. Peck will visit the
principal cities of the country and will
carefully observe what improvements
have been made in methods of building
since he has been in the Islands.
Some time in the fall Mr.. Peck will
return, and very shortly thereafter
plans viii be drawn up and a contract
let. Mr.. Peck yesterday declined to
| hazard any guess as to the probable
design of the new building, saying that
he would not be prepared to offer an
opinion until his return from the main
! land.
The decision of the bank director,
to erect their permanent home on thu
Bishop street site is certainly a wis,
one. There is no more desirable piece
of land in the business section, anC
within the next five years the propert,
must become the very center of thu

! The plan is to lay a second track

church to Palama. This will facilitate
traffic and will go long way toward

work has been completed the Alakea

NO CHANGES ARE
NOW BEING TAKEN
Stringent Regulations Enforced
on Maui to Stamp Out
Diphtheria.
(FrOm Mondays AdYertiser.l

According to passengers from Maui,
arriving yesterday, the quarantine on
the Valley Isle against the epidemic of
diphtheria is becoming daily more
stringent. Doctors are now charging
fee of two dollars and half for the
examination necessary to secure passage
on the Inter.Island steamers under the
special order from the board of health.
This sum is practically an increase of
price on the steamer ticket.
1t seems to be the general impression
that the epidemic is increasing if any
thing, and at the best it is just being
held down. There have been four cases
in Waikiki, two of which have already
been cured, and several from the camps
around Plunene are reported.
The isolation camp at Paia is now
full to overlooking and the authorities
are hunting for new quarters to handle
the other cases and contacts that are
being isolated by the board of health
inspectors operating in the afflicted dis.
tricts.
The home for poor people, just com
pleted by the Baldwins at Paia, is the
building being used as the center of
the isolation camp, being finished just
in time to serve in the role of an emer.
gency hospital.
Charles Wilcox, the county auditor of
Maui, who arrived yesterday from the
quarantined island, states that the pre-.
cautionary measures are being strin-
gently enforced with the view of pro.
tecting the other islands, and especially
Honolulu, where an epidemic of diph-
iberia would spread rapidly.
Several japanese recently came down
from Puunene to take passage for Ho-
nolulu, but were refused certificates by
the physicians as they presented slight
ly suspicious symptoms, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they were outwardly
in perfect health.
The disease is confined almost en-
tirely to the children and not many
adults have been brought down with
it. The sheriff has sworn in a large
number of extra guards to enforce the
board of health regulation forbidding
meetings and gatherings in Makawao.
Recently several Hawaiian women at
tempted to go from Waikiki in an auto
mobile to HaJnakuapoko to see some
friends, but were met on the road and
turned back by guard, on the ground
that it was a purposeless visit. The
same procedure is being gone through
everywhere throughout Makawao. Ha-
mal1uapoko which was the center and
possible source of infection, has now
been thoroughly overhauled' and condi-
tions there are better.
