THE NAVY MAY
TAKE THREE
BEACH HOTELS

Swgeon-General Stokes OF the Unit
ed States Navy has proposed Waikiki
as the place for one of two naval hos
pital bases.
The navy's plans contemplate the
establishment of one great hospital
base on each ocean; one hospital ship
for each eight battleships, and two or
more transports to carry the wounded
from the hospital ships to the hospital
bases Honolulu is the choice Of the
surgeon-general for the Pacific base,
and the establishment of this base
would demonstrate that Uncle Sam is
determined to make of Oahu the most
important military and naval base
under the flag.
The surgeon-general declares that
the climate and sanitation here are ex.
cellent, which form two of the princi.
pal reasons for causing him to choose
Honolulu. The Army and Navy Jour
nal, referring to General Stokes views
says:
"Surgeon-G General Stokes has been
impressed with the advantages of Wal
kiki for the Pacific base. There are al
the present time three large hotels al
this place which could be converted
into hospitals. No such advantageous
place has been found on the Atlantic
although there are number of places
that could be used. The naval hospi
tai bases will be in charge of surgeons
and physicians drafted from the pro
posed Navy Medical Reserve. which
would include some of the most noted
surgeons, physicians and pathologist'
of the country"
General Stokes refers to three hotels
at Waikiki which could readily be
converted into hospitals, having re
ference to the Moana, Seaside and
Waikiki Inn.

NEW SUGAR
FRAUD CASES

WASHINGTON, December 31.-Fur-
Their developments in the investigation
of sugar frauds in connection with un-
derweighing and drawbacks on duty
paid, is believed to be imminent, and a
high customs official is responsible for
the statement, made here yesterday,
that the frauds which may be unearth-
ed in New Orleans and San Fran
cisco are nable to eclipse in magni-
tude those which were discovered in
New York.
1t is stated that by The time the
present grand jury has completed it's
investigation of the alleged frauds in
New Orleans relating to sugar imports
it will be found that for fifteen years
the government has been defrauded
out of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
1t was to stop this investigation that
the sugar trust recently offered to re-
fund TO the government 100000, an
offer which was declined by the prose
cutting attorneys acting for the govern
ment.

WHITE LABORERS
ONLY WANTED

Editor Star:--Much is being said
about the responsibility for bringing
the last shipment of FiliDinos into
the Territory, and the planters are
falling over each other in stating that
they do not approve OF it that there
must be a mistake somewhere. The
fact remains, though, that they are
doing it, and no cablegrams have
been published as emanating from
the planters association here to it's
agents at Manila to remedy the mat
fer or protesting against such la
borers. This must take the slow pro-
ces of Uncle Sans mails, and by the
time the truth is known, several more
lots will have arrived.

been caused by the appointment Of a

peace of the whole community with

citizenship, and unfit to associate with,
still goes on.
The importation of any colored race
should be stopped, from whatever ter
ritory they may be brought. Whites
can be had if the same effort is made
to get them. The Portuguese race is
a white race, and have proved them
selves to be good citizens, and are
a desirable race to assimilate, and
unless other equally good white peo-
pie can be secured as laborers, let
the laborers be confined to this one
race. And let the black Portuguese
or those with negro blood, be also
left at home. Conditions are bad
enough here. Our last Malihini

FIRST PART Of
BIC BREAKWATER
IS FINISHED

HILO, December 29.-Sretching
out for a distance of 25zS feet from
the mainland and complete for that
distance. the first section of the Hilo
breakwater, built by Contractor d. L.
Metzger of this city, was completed
on the day before Christmas. The
figuring was rather close, as Metzger
for some months past in response to
questions I'm regard to when the work
would be completed, always answer
ed setting christmas Day as the
limit. Inspector Quinn, who has been
I'm charge of the work for the Federal
Government, stated yesterday morn
ing that the work had been completed
to the satisfaction of the Government
and that all that remained was for
the contractor to clean up his plant.
1t has cost 100000 to build the first
section of the breallwater and if the
new Rivers and Harbors bill passes
Congress as is expected there will be
S45O0OO more available for the con-
tinuation of the work, which should
carry it nearly half way to completion
as the original estimate placed the
total cost of the structure at $ITOO,-
600. The appropriation made by the
last Congress. under which Lord and
Young obtained the contract, was but
100000 and the bill which passed
the House a week or more ago, au-
thorizes an expenditure of $250,000
more. New bids, will, however, be
called for under this appropriation.
Contractor Metzger, since he was
unable to land the new contract, has
made other plans. His two largest
cranes, the big one which has been
used at the end of the breakwater
for placing the great blocks of stone
| in position, and the largest of the
cranes at the quarry at KapohO, will
be sent to Kahului, where they will
| be used by the Kahului Railroad
! Co., on the construction of the break
water at that location. Mr.. Merger
does not plan to go there himself
though it is quite likely that the
Maui contractors may call on a num-
Der of the men who have been work
ing on the bTeallwater here to come
with the plant, as their long ex-
perience with the work to be done is
sure to prove of great value.
Under the Lord and Young contract
there will be work done only on the
substructure, that is the foundation
of the breakwater, all of which viii
lie under water and this will be hur
ried ahead by means of great wooder
scows which are now being erected
on the beach just makai of the Hack
field lumber yard. 1t is possible tina
work on the super structure may be
taken up again, under the appropria
ton of the present session of Con.
sress, which has not yet passed the
United States senate. In this case
the big cranes may again be sent t.
lIilo. They will go to Kahului OF
one of the Inter Island steamers
which will be able to handle then
easily as the heaviest single piece
after the crane has been taken apart
weighs sixteen tons.

The next investigation following the
one now under way at New Orleans,
will, it is announced, be in San Fran
cisco. In that city, it is asserted, the
evidence will show that the govern

drawback on Philippine sugar, which
entered free of duty, but later was ex-
ported as imported from Java and on
which duty had been paid.
The investigation at New York has
resulted in prison sentences for some

there will be a repetition of the New

 It is possible officials of the 1sthmian Canal Commission will have to pass around the hat In order to raise $50 to pay for dead mule.

One of the canal employees was leading the animal to work the first morning he was to have seen service. Crossing a flooded river the mule was drowned.
 The owner wanted his mule or $50. The canal commissioners suggested that 1t would 'best promote the construction of the canal to pay the $50, and not allow the Panamanians to form the impression that the United States government was stingy. Comptroller Tracewell viewed the proposition with the cold, unsym- pathetic eyes of the law.

MODERN PHILANTHROPY
Fifty Years Survey of Charitable Work Shows That Increased Population Followed By Scientific Methods Have Made Reasonable the
 Charity of Today.
By zEBULoN R. HRockWAY.

lMr. Broadway is best known as form r superintendent of the Elmira Reform atory, where he took charge in 1876 moulding that institution into the model that it is today. He remained superin- tendent until 1900. He has been in prison work since 1S4s, when he was a clerk in the Connecticut state prison, and his in terest in penology has put him in close touch with the whole field of charities and correction. He is S3 years of age and active in all good works in his home city, Elmira, N. Y.)

 The present increased general interest and activity in charitable and correction. al work should more fairly be attributed to increase and density of population, conspicuous wealth and poverty. and re- markable facilities of communica ting, than to any difference in the ratio and quality of prevalent moral and philan- thropic enthusiasm.
 Modern charity, both in it's spirit and method, is a more reasonable thing than it was 50 years ago. It is characterized with that wisdom which sees the essen tial unity and mutuality of all human in- terests, knows that individual misfortune is also public injury-an economic loss the public must ultimately pay. Tenta- tive partial poor relief is now seen to be poor economy; so that the personal and churchly dole of earlier times are giving
