the trade can be safely left to the
Pacific Mail Co. They will be the
show ships" of this side. Even al
lowing for reduction in the equip
ment, they will be fine ships.
The two boats will be uptodate with
watertight compartments, wireless
telegraphy submarine signaling and
fire-tighting appliances, while it is GER
tain that other new features will be
introduced. The George Washington
is 722 feet 5 inches long, with a beam
of rs feet. Her depth from the upper
saloon deck is 54 feet and from the
upper awning deck it is 80 feet. Her
speed is 1875 knots an hour. Her dis
placement at 33 feet draught is $4,000
tons. Her gross registered tonnage
is $1,000, and her horsepower is 10000.
She has cargo capacity of $4,000
tons.
A comparison with the Manchuria
and the Mongolia, however, will give
a better understanding of the size of
the George Washington. Take the
Manchuria. Her gross tonnage is 49,
63S, and displacement 27.3 in. broad
and 23.1 feet deep. Her indicated
horsepower is 10000 (half that of the
George Washington), and her highest
speed is not above sixteen or seven
teen knots.
These boats will be running by 1915,
for the contract will be let not later
than February l next When these
greyhounds are in commission the Pa
cific Mail will have q fine fleet, rang
ing from the marine classics to the
old-timers There will be on the trans
pacific run, the two new steamers, the
Manchuria, Mongolia, Siberia, Korea,
China, Persia and the Nile.
AS the White Star liner Olympic
has been mentioned, it might be as
we'll to state that she is SS26 feet
long, 926 feet broad. with a gross
tonnage of $4,000. and a displacement
of $4,000 She went into service on
June last, and the Titanic, sister
ship, is now being built at Belfast.
The present competitors of the Pa
cifc Mail are the Japanese liners of
the Toyo Kisen Kaisha. This company
has a fine fleet trading between the
Orient and San Francisco and Homo

Wine Making
Company of Maui
Is In Trouble

Developments in the matter of the
story that has been hinted at about
the Kaupakalua Wine & Liquor Co.
reached the status of availability for
publication this morning when Internal
Revenue Collector Cottrill was ques-
toned by Star reporter. The Collec-
tor was very reluctant to tell the story
but, as many garbled reports have
been going the rounds, he gave replies
to direct questions.
1t appears that for some months
past the Internal Revenue department
has been closely watching the opera.
tiors of the wineryt AS is well known,
the wine is fortified with brandy. When
brandy is obtained from the main
land in bond, there is no duty to be
paid on it here, if used for the forti-
fication of wine.
The Kaupakalua company has, from
time to time, imported brandy from
the Coast. On one occasion, little
time ago, brandy was imported, as the
machinery at the winery had broken
down and no brandy could be made
there.
The residue of the grapes is the
material from which the brandy used
to be manufactured. AS it is alleged
that the manufacture of this brandy

and the use OF it in its present form
are not permissible by law, the In
ternal Revenue department moved in
the matter.
The wine company, wishing to get
advice on the matter, consulted Walter
+. Drake, the former collector. Drake
wrote a letter to the department and
told of the manner of manufacture.
1t is said that the manufacture of
the brandy used for fortifcation was
allowed through a false impression
that was given by the company.
All the information in connection
with the case has been forwarded to
Washington, and United States Dis
trict Attorney Breckons has been no
titled of the matter
Food Commissioner Blanchard has
been engaged in making tests of the
wine of the Maui company. He said
this morning that he would have to
forward the results to Washington, and
that he could not give out any figures
or facts on the matter.
Walter Drake was seen about the
matter and he stated that, on account
of a difference in the grapes this year
sugar had to be used to keep the wine
up to the standard of former years

Two Ocean GreyhOunds
To Be Added To The
Pacific Mail Fleet

That the Pacific Mail will add two
new steamers of the George Washing
ton class to its fleet is the welcome
neWs that has been received in Homo
lulu from officers on the Korea
This information seems authentic
for it has been stated in independent
quarters that such is the case. So far
there has been no official announce
ment on the subject, but the first init
nation is not always the official one.
Should these plans be carried out,
then the Pacific Mail will introduce to
these parts of the Pacific Ocean the
finest boats that have ever been seen
here, in everything including size,
speed and passenger accommodation
OF course, they may not be exact
counterparts of the George Washing
ton, the crack liners of the North
German Lloyd Company. 1t has been
stated that the new Pacific Mail boats
will have accommodation for $50 cabin
passengers, and will have three screws
driven by reciprocating and turbine
engines.
The method of propulsion on the
new boats will be distinct advance

If the reciprocating engines will give
the George Washington speed of
eighteen knots, it is safe to assume
that the new vessels will have at least
twenty knots full speed but, of
course, they would not be run at full

knots would be a normal speed for this
class of vessel, which would mean that

The South Dakota, according to
program, leaves Hilo today for Homo

time tomorrow, for she will make the
trip leisurely. Her speed will only
be about ten knots an hour through

Glacier Bringing Christmas Supplies.
The supply ship Glacier will bring
along the necessary supplies for re-
stocking the five ships. The inten-
ton is, if the original program is car
ried out, to stock up here thoroughly,
and then leave for San Diego on or
about Janpary 3.
San Diego for ManeuVers.
The five boats are due at San Diego
on January 49, There they will join

If a prize were given for the city
that had the worst roads, it is a pret-

Just now the roads, along the water
front especially are in fearful con-

Queen street would seem to be the
worst of the lot. Automobiles go
splashing through the deep liquid mud

Around the Inter-Island wharves there
are some particularly bad spots, and

After Honolulu, the district of Hilo
has some pretty bad roads, especial

use it frequently have some very high
praise to bestow upon the supervisor
for the excellent manner in which he
attends to them.

competition for the worst roads in
