SALT LAKE PLANS

COMPETENT ENGINEERS TO DE.
TERMlNE DAMAGE
Railway Is at Present Two Disorgan
ICED Branches, Whose Ends

[Associated Pressl


SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 16.-Never
in the history of transportation in the
United States has a great railroad been
stricken so sorely as was the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake by the
midwinter thaw.
In a twinkling. the desert-born tor
rents Tapped up hundred miles of rails
and embankments, severed the steel
bond between mountains and sea and
made of a busy avenue of commerce
two disorganized branches whose ends
are lost in the wilderness.
Millions of dollars of investment
temporarily profitless and hundreds of
capable railroad men without employ
ment are two results of the disaster.
AS its extent is better understood the
day when earnings will be restored and
the men recalled seems more and more
remote.
j. Ross Clark, the second vice presi-
dent, said today before starting to Los
Angeles over the Southern Pacific:
THE weather conditions since the
washout in the Meadow valley wash
have been such that a thorough exami-
nation of the present line has not been
possible, but as soon as the weather
VIII permit the matter viii be gone
over carefully by competent engineers
to determine the exact extent of the
damage done and the feasibility Of re-
constructing the line through the can
Won of the Meadow valley wash in its
former position, or elsewhere.
In the meantime reconnoisances are
being made on two other routes with
a view to ascertaining if d satisfactory
alternative is obtainable. If it is not
found feasible to rebuild the line
through Meadow valley wash on an alb
solutely safe basis, then it is possible
that one of the other lines being con
sidered Will be adopted and the road
constructed on such route"

ROOSTER KILLS SNAKE BY
RIGHT AND LEFT SWINGS

HEREFORD. Jan ia rooster
owned by Harvey Hiestand will likely
be awarded a premium at the Allen
town fair, not as a prize Plymouth
Rock specimen, but because his fight
ing blood will exceed that of game
chickens.
Mr.. Hiestand the other day saw the
rooster have a combat with a three
foot snake.
The snake was holding the ROSTERS
comb with bulldog tenacity, but the
rooster was equal TO the occasion. He
operated his wings like a flying ma
chine, and by the time Mr.. Hiestand
came upon the scene had the snake
stretched on the ground.
Hiestand jabbed down a manure fork
and finished the snake.
The rooster is little the worse for the
fight, although his comb is swollen and
he lost half of his wing feathers in the
setto.

Yesterday afternoon William started

air hole and went down in six feet of
water
Several times the boy tried to get out,
but his hands slipped on the ice. and
he had about given up hope when the
dog turned around and saw him. The
animal walked up to the edge of the
hole, near enough for the boy to grasp
his collar and then slowly backed
until the boy was out of the water and
on firm ice again.
The dog will have a handsome new
collar, a warm blanket and a comfort
able home as long as he lives.

GREAT BRITAIN
FACES PROBLEM
REJECTION OF FINANCIAL BILL
CAUSES DIFFICULTIES
SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR TO
WORRY THROUGH
Hope Is Seen in the Regulations
Published for Guidance of
Traders and Customs
Officials

LONDON, Jan. 16.-How the British
government is to worry through five or
six months of the fiscal year without
revenue is a problem which is perpleN-
ing many persons. A promising effort,
however, to lessen the financial and ad e.
ministrative difficulty created by the
rejection of the finance bill is seen in
the regulations published for the guild
ance of traders and of the officials of
customs and excise. The regulations
relate to the duties on spirits, tobacco,
beer, tea and motor spirit, and lay
down for the acceptance of the trading
community the course to be followed
with regard to the payment of the
duties in the interval between the pro-
IOgatiOn of parliament and the pass
ing of a new finance bill by a new par
lament. Neither the new nor the in
creased duties are to be enforced. In
the circumstances that have arisen it is
open to the merchant or importer to de-
cline to pay them until the house of
commons has resolved that they must
be paid or a finance bill has been passed
embodying them.
The resolutions of the house of COM
mons regularizing the duties as from
April 1 of this year are in the altered
situation imperative, and the trader
may take one of two lines. He may
take delivery of the goods referred to
and make a deposit equivalent to the
amount of the duties, or he may elect
to give no such deposit. In the latter
event he will be liable for the duties
should they be reimposed by parma
ment. In the case in which the deposit
has been made when the goods are
cleared the merchant will be entitled
to a refund if parliament should refuse
to sanction the duties. The commits
sioners issue the significant warning
that new conditions may be imposed,
if necessary, to govern cases in which
no deposits are given.
May Work Out Well
There are indications that the ar
rangement will work out to the ad-
vantage of mercantile interests as well
as the revenue. Manifestly the threat
ened deadlock in the administrative
departments would lead to much con-
fusion, if not positive loss, in the trad
ing world. In the uncertainty as to
the fate of the new taxation proposals
merchants would be perplexed by the
double problem of how to deal with
the authorities and with the public.
Trading with the latter on the assump-
ton that the duties would not be en-
forced would, for instance, be attended
with great financial risk,~having re-
gard to the possibility that parliament
might as the regulations suggest, in
sist on the full payments as from the
first of April, 1909. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, to learn that influential trade
representations were made TO the gov
ernment with a view to the provision
of such an arrangement as is described
in these regulations. Those merchants
who make the deposit will have occas-
ion for rejoicing if the result of the
election should be house of commons
opposed to the new and the increased
duties.
The campaign has opened well on

VIM. GOETz WILL
SUCCEED DRAKE
His Appointment as Collector Of
Internal Revenue Ex-
peCted Soon.

From cabled advices received here
from Washington, it is expected that
the appointment of William Goetz as
collector of internal revenue, to succeed
Walter f. Drake, resigned, will be made
in a short time, probably before the
end of the month.
A number of the candidates for the
job received letter mail from Wash
ington yesterday and there was much
anxiety shown on the faces of some of
them. However, they are all out of the
game now except Goetz, though per
haps this is the first they will know
of it.
William Goetz has been very strongly
endorsed for the position, not only by
his personal friends and many of the
business men of Honolulu, but also, it
is understood, by the Republican lead
ers of Hawaii who might reasonably
be expected to have a drag in the Ma,
tional Capitol and be called upon to
express their preferences.

MORE MEN THAN
EVER EMPLOYED
Honolulu Iron Works Is Tested
to Capacity by Rush Of
New Work.

The press of work resulting from
the preparation by the plantations for
the new crops is keeping every wheel
going in the Honolulu Iron Works, more
men being employed at the present
time than there ever has been since
the new location was occupied.
With few exceptions, all the ma.
chinery to go to the Mindoro mill in
the Philippines, the largest ever erect.
ed, is being made at the Honolulu Iron
Works and this with other foreign and
local contracts is testing the full ca
pacity of the company.
The Waialua Agricultural Company
will soon have new Standard evapor.
ator which will be the largest in the
Territory and in all probability, the
largest ever erected anywhere.
The Waiakea plantation, in expecta.
tion of increased crops, has been forced
to increase its evaporation capacity
fifty per cent, for the coming season.
The Pioneer Mill Company has made
a new policy effective by which it will
replace all its wooden structures with
steel structures and that over the
boilers is now being replaced by one
of the new design. The company wall
make the changes gradually and re.
erect the buildings from time to time
until steel prevails in all the struc
lures. N
An additional three-roller mill is be
ing erected for the onomea plantation
which will make twelve-roller mill
in service for that company. A new
mill is also being erected at Hawi.
The bruut of all this work falls on
the Honolulu Iron Works, and has
necessitated the increased working
staff. The directors of the company
have decided TO erect recreation
house for the men at the first oppor
tunity which will be provided with cur
rent literature, musical instruments
and game rooms. This building will be
erected adjoining the factory at Ka
kaako. ~

BOY ACCUSED OF
TWO BURGLARIES
Joseph KeopuheWa Arrested by
McDuffie for Entering
Houses.

Joseph KeOpuhewa, just budding
into manhood, is an exponent of the
policy of annexation without the con-
sent of more than one party, if the
charges preferred against him yester-
day by Chief of Detectives A. McDufie
can be proved,
Joseph is certainly cup against it, y
for two charges of specific annexation
have been made against him. In other
and more legal words, Joseph is ac-
cused of burglary in the second degree.
In the first warrant of arrest he is
charged with having broken into the
living quarters of Japanese servant
at 1889 Lunalilo street, ON June 10,
this year, and taking several pieces
of wearing apparel.
In the second case, which developed
after he had been suspected of looting
the house of the Japanese servant, he
is accused of breaking into another
servant 3 quarters, on the premises Of
Mrs. Lyman, ON Piikoi street, and
stealing therefrom a piece Of dress
goods and other small articles.
Chief McDuffie had the case in hand
for several days, and yesterday he com
pleted the chain Of evidence with
which he expects TO convict the boy.
The ease viii be called up in police
court today.

WIRELESS TO COMPETE
WITH PACIFIC CABLES

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.--Lee de
Forrest arrived yesterday and regis
tered at the Manx Hotel. He is here
primarily to install ON the government
transport Buford his new noiseless and
sparl1less macnlne. A permanent wire
less station for telegraph and telephone
communication is also among the things
he hopes to accomplish during his visit.
The new device invented by De For
rest that is now being installed on the
Buford is said to be more efficient than
any machine hitherto invented. The
transmitter sends out 1900 impulses a
second and qives the receiving end a
high, clear note, which is translated by
the Morse code. The signals are more
easily read through atmospheric inter
ference and discharges than the old
style of spark telegraphy, De Forrest
says, and because of its efficiency he
believes the wireless companies will be
able to enter into active competition
with the land wires.
" In a short time we expect to COM
pete with the Pacific CABLES" De For
rest said yesterday. "The first install
lation of our new machine will be made
shortly, with which we will be able to
communicate with the Hawaiian Islands
from this port. We expect to erect a
tower $50 feet high, equipped with a
fifteen horsepower battery, which will
send messages to Honolulu.
"I think that in two years we will
be able to send messages across the Pa
cifc with ease By next January we
hope to have the Metropolis tower fin
ished in New York, from which we can
transmit from that station to the Eiffel
tower in Paris.'

MOTHER MAY
LOSE CHILDREN
William Savidge Asks Court t
Award Him Their Future
80 Custody.

On the ground that his ex.wife, Emily
savidesS is running around with lewd
and improper persons and is therefore
not fit person to have charge of their
six children, William savidge has peti.
toned Judge Robinson to take the chill.
dren away from her and place them in
his custody.
Savidge in his complaint alleges that
Mrs. savidge is on especially friendly
terms with person whose character
falls far short of being what it really
should be. Until recently, he says, she
was ignorant of the evils of large
city, but she fell in with bad company
remaining out all night away from her
children. He states that he has been
informed that she expects to leave Ho.
nolulu by the Manchuria tomorrow in
company with the lewd and improper
person whose name, however, is not
mentioned in the bill of complaint, but
who, it is known, has recently been
before the federal grand jury in con,
neetion with certain odorous case
and he doesn't want her to take the
children with her.
Judge Robinson issued temporary
order, placing the custody of the chill
dren with the father and ordering that
the mother do not take any of them out
of the Territory. He also issues an
order restraining her from selling any
of the furniture in the house on Kala
kaua avenue, this being claimed by
savidge.
Mrs. Sayidge obtained divorce from
her husband several months ago, tn,
libel not being contested. Savidge il
paying his ex-wife big alimOny for the
care of the children, but If they are
taken from her, this win, of course
cease. Savidge is represented in the
matter by Attorney Lightfoot.
| Mrs. Sayidge and Mabel Wond wert
both before the federal grand jury last
week in connection with a case which
has been the subject of considerable
comment on the street
Both Mrs. Savidge and Miss Wond
it is understood, were expecting t.
leave for the Coast on the Manchurie
Saturday.
