GARBAGE DUMPS ARE DECLARED
GREAT BREEDING PLACE FOR FLIES

The City and County Board of SUI
pervisors comes in for a severe ar
raignment from the special advisory
committee of the Board of Agricui-
tural and Forestry, in it's report con-
corning the Mediterranean fruit fly
pest, handed in yesterday afternoon.
From it's Investigations the committee
finds that the huge garbage dumps at
Iwilei and KakaakO, are the breeding
places for millions of flies of all de-
scriptions, and that they are other
wise unsanitary in high degree; yet
the supervisors appear to be largely
Indifferent.
The committee thinks that the most
practical way for dealing with the
fruit fly pest is by means of a para
site, provided one can be found, and
it recommends that money be provid-
ed for employing the best practical
entomologist available for making a
search for such a parasite For this
purpose, and for otherwise carrying
on palliative measures against the
pest, the Committee feels that a fund
of $175OO should be provided to be
spent between now and the time of
the next Legislature, two years
hence.
The employment of eight inspectors
to look after fruit orchards and gar
dens in systematic manner; and an Of
fetal request to the county supervis-
ors to put the county incinerator in
operation, or failing in this, to raise
funds in some other manner for oper-
ating this plant, are recommendations
made by the committee.
In referring to the supervisors at
titude, the report reads as follows;

(En Route from Tutuila, Samoa, to
Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 20, 1919
The U. S. S. Princeton sailed from
the Puget Sound Navy Yard on Au-
gust l, as per schedule, and after a
fine run under steam and sail, arrived
at Honolulu August -. A week was
spent in that port, giving the crew
liberty, repairing machinery, and TAX
ing on coal and supplies, after which
she started out again for Tutuila,
Samoa, and arrived there after an
eleven-day passage on August 30.
Upon arrival at Tutuila, the transfer
of officers and crew from the Prince
ton to the Annapolis, together with
coal and stores, was rapidly accom-
plished, and transfers of commands
took place on September Z. The
Annapolis sailed from Tutuila for Ho-
nolulu September 8, and after spend
ing a week there she expects TO CON
tinue her voyage to the Mare Island
Navy Yard, California, where she is
due to arrive about the 10th of Octo-

NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 9.-In the
drawing-room of Beechwood, his beau
tiful summer home, Col. John Jacob
Aston and Miss Madeline Talmage
Force were married at 10 o'clock this
morning. The Rev. Joseph Lambert,
d. D., pastor of Elmwood Temple Con
gregational church, of Providence, per-
formed the marriage ceremony.
After it was all over, Colonel Aston
and his wife, both smiling, rushed out
Of Beechwood, jumped into their wait
ing automobile and were hurriedly
driven back to the yacht landing at
Wellington Avenue Park. From there
they took launch to the yacht Mona,
and soon after the yacht steamed out
of the harbor and the pair were off on
their honeymoon
What their destination is to be no
one here knows. Even Vincent Astor,
son of Colonel Aston, said that he did
not know his fathers plans in regard
to the future. He said so this morn
ing after the marriage and was en-
phatic about it.
According to the reports from New
York, the yacht has been supplied for
a long cruise, and the fact that the
craft was iced up to the capacity of
her refrigerators here this morning
gave rise to the belief that Colonel
Aston and his bride were either going
abroad or south to the West Indies.
A message from Point Judith, how
ever, gave the information that the
Mona, after passing down the bay,
rounded Point Judith and steamed
westward. This led to the belief that
the bridal couple might be heading for
Rhinechiffe, ~ Y, where Colonel AS.
tor has a country home.
Decidedly Quiet.
The wedding of Colonel Astor and
Miss Force was decidedly a quiet af-

LITTLE CHANCE OF
TARGET PRACTISE HERE

Among those uniformed as to con-
ditions it has been rumored that pos
sibly the Pacific fleet will come TO
Hawaii for target practice, This
may be set at rest with the explana-
ton that the targets used by the
navy are very cumbersome affairs
and require special knowledge of re-
quirements in their construction. On
account of their unwieldly form it
would be entirely impracticable TO
attempt to tow them down from the

fair, and whoever arranged the plans
for the ceremony did it well, for there
was not the slightest hitch in the pro-
ceedings from the time of the arrival
of the wedding party here before day
light this morning until the Mona
poked her nose out of the harbor at II
o'clock
There we're present at the wedding

right-hand man here; w. A. Dobbyns,
secretary to the colonel; Vincent AS.
tor and Mrs Eldred of New York, a
friend of the Force family.
The wedding took place in the draw
ing-room, which had been decorated
with American Beauty roses. The
bride was given away by her father
and her sister acted as the maid of
honor. Vincent Astor filed the posi-
ton of best man, and in a very few
minutes after the Rev. DR.. Lambert
started to read the ceremony was over
and Colonel Astor and Miss Force
were declared man and wife. The
bride appeared radiant with happiness
and Colonel Astor was calm and self
possessed.
The bride was attired in a beautiful
creation of dark pearl gray. Mrs.
Force wore gown of black, and the
other women of the party were also
beautifully attired
Clergyman a Surprise.
The appearance of Doctor Lambert
as the officiating clergyman came. as a
big surprise this morning. All had
thought last night, according to the in
formation that had reached this city
from Providence, that the Rev. E. e.
of that city was to perform
the ceremony. When he did not ap-
pear this morning on the early train it
was suspected that something had
happened and that the wedding was to
be delayed.
There was no delay, however, for
Doctor Lambert had evidently been
obtained over night, and he was hus-
tied here this morning in one of the
Astor automobiles. He was at Beech
wood soon after the wedding party
reached the house from the yacht. and
1t was not long before the wedding
ceremony was in progress.

GERMANY DOESN'T MIND TRUSTS
BUT THINKS THAT Combinations
ARE BENEFIT TO THE PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.vConsul-
General Robert p. Skinner Of Ham
burg has made report, in part as
follows, on the operation of trusts in
Germany:
Supplementary information is de-
sired to that on the Legal Status Of
Trusts in Germany" by Consul-General
Thackara and published in Daily Con
sular and Trade Reports for January
8, 1911. The following inquiry has
been received:
81 have heard from many sources
that the laws of the German Empire
covering the matter of business ar
engagements between those in the
same line of business are most favor
able to the interests of the manufac-
turing and mercantile houses, and l
take the liberty of addressing you 10
inquire if you can furnish me with q
copy of the laws which would cover
combines or which would cover the
same general ground as the Sherman
antitrust law in the United States"
Replying to the above, it may be
stated that there is no German law of
the character described. There is no
German law which either expressly
authorizes or forbids the creation of
the so-called trusts so numeropus in
this country. The law merely guaran-
tees to the individual the right to en-
gage in trade, but does not withhold
from him the right to combine with
fanny or all of his competitors The
theory seems to be that in granting
to trade and commerce the very ex-
tensive privileges referred to by my
correspondent, the general interests
Of the public at large are protected
by the resulting prosperity of such
interests, even though the immediate
effect may be to enhance the cost {
the commodity controlled.
Difference Between German and
American Laws and Ideas.
In a recent discussion of the subject
Mr.. Albert BALM, the general director
of the neutrality-suspicious. Line, said:
"In Germany syndicates are protect
ed by several laws, and therefore It
may arise very easily that the Amer
lean government would require the dis
solution of a syndicate while the dis
solution, according to German law, it.
self would become punishable"
The majority of German business
men and economists are not opposed
to such syndicates and the creation
of monopolies, in which the State it.

ity of the cases come under the cor
receive of disciplinary punishments
and the "vindictive or purely punt
tive" class.
"They indicate discipline, and not
the lack of discipline; they indicate
discipline in the process of making, -
he adds.
Both in the case of the soldier and
the school child, General Bliss con-
tinues, "the habits of subordination,
obedience, promptness, respect for
authority, cleanliness, etc, have to

coast, and it would be equally i'm
practicable and very costly to attempt
to construct them here. These tar
gets are built on the coast at Mare
Island Navy Yard, where skilled eX-
perts know exactly what is required,
and they are then towed down to Cor
onado.
1t can be definitely stated, there
fore, that the Pacific fleet will not
indulge in target practice in Hawa-
iian waters.

self sometimes participates in combin-
alton with private producers, is lawful
if the creators commit no injurious
act, a limitation so difficult to define
and comprehend that practically the
only difficulties with which the ordin-
airy cartels come into contact are diff
ficulties arising between the members
themselves. The courts have frequent
ly recognized the perfect right of
producers to control their product in
a monopolistic organization as a right
somewhat akin to the right to make
use of highway, and only subject to
correction of abuses of power.
The profound difference between the
German and the American conception
of sound business conditions is best
explained, perhaps, by the racial diff
ference between the two peoples-the
German with strong collectivist ten
denotes which manifest themselves in
society, in government, and in trade,
and the American with deeply root
ed individualism which remains even
when he engages in a collectivist en-
terprise. Thus it happens that the
capitalistic classes of Germany, al
though opposing socialism in their
public life, nevertheless drift in the
direction indicated by their natural
tendencies in their business life, and
in so doing they have the tacit APP
proval of the avowed socialistic class
es, who perceive in the steady accu-
mutation of the producing powers in
a few hands a movement tending logi
cally and inevitably toward the even
tual realization of their dogma-that
is, the State in supreme control.
Government Control.
An extreme example of the German
tendency may be found in the potash
syndicate of which so much has been
heard. In this case the Prussian
State itself was one of the producers,
and when a certain situation was
reached, the State interposed and re-
quired by law that the entire produc-
ton of the country should be sold
through a single selling agency. or
ganized by law, which also establish
ed the terms of sale and the limitation
of production. In this case it was ar
gued that the monopolization of the
industry was necessary to conserve
the important mineral resources of
the country. The commentators upon
the claim of Industrial organizers that

WASHINGTON, Sept, 21,-"Mili-
tary discipline is as repugnant to the
average man as school discipline is

ker Bliss, commanding the Depart

There was a material decrease in

Department of California during the
last fiscal year as compared with the
