SAN FRANCISCO FIRES SOME HOT
SHOTS At HONOLULU; SUSPENSION
SAID To Be JAPANESE SCHEME

The Call of June 80 has the fol.
lowing, under a large heading "Japs
strike at Coastwise Law from Am
BUSH:
The Honolulu hotel keepers, livery
stablemen, saloon keepers and others
who live off the visiting tourist, have
again contrived to get before Con-
gress a request for the suspension Of
the coastwise shipping law between
here and Honolulu in so far as it
affects passenger travel. The bill No.
1858, has just been introduced in the
committee on marine and fisheries
1t calls for the suspension CT the
coastwise shipping law for six years.
The coastwise shipping law pro-
vides that only American ships may
trade between American ports. This
law gives the American merchant
marine the only protection it has
from the competition of bounty-fed
foreigners. The ground on which the
suspension is asked is that the Amer
lean passenger ships now running
regularly between here and Honolulu
do not provide adequate accommoda-
lions for the travel. What those be-
hind the bill really want is to give
the Japanese lines the right to carry
passengers between Honolulu and
the coast. The really representative
business men of Hawaii are said D
be opposed to any such letting down
of the bars The men behind the
! measure are the hotel keepers, livery
stable keepers, saloon keepers and
othrs who make their living by eX-
plotting the tourist.
Japs Have Own Law.
While these Honolulu people are
trying to present the Japanese lines
with a business that has been built
UP entirely by American enterprise
and capital, the Japanese governme
has just passed a coastwise shipplne
law of it's own to protest the mikado's
merchant marine from outside compe
tition.
American ship owners on this coas
are preparing to oppose the bill by
showing that the facilities already II
existence are more than sufficient &c
handle the passenger travel. They
are also prepared to show that the
passing of the bill would have the
effect of reducing rather than increas
ing the present transportation facil
tiles. The yhave figures to show tina
the supply of transportation has al

ways exceeded the demand. The
Chamber of Commerce has cabled to
Honolulu a protest against a revival
of the agitation and has sent 10
Washington a strong argument
against such legislation.
The records of the local steamship
companies show that during 1910 not
a single applicant for passage either
here or at Honolulu was refused ac-
commodations. The records show
that in 1910 the Pacific Mail Com
pany had 1850 unused berths on sail
ings from Honolulu for San Fran.
cisco, the Oceanic company ,4S5 I'M
used berths and the Matson line 1910
unused berths. From San Francisco
to Honolulu during the same period
the Pacific Mail had 1,S47 unused
berths, the Oceanic 1923 and the
Matson line LIS.
Ship Owners Build Traffic.
That the passenger business be-
tween here and Honolulu is heavy Is
admitted by the ship owners, who
also contend that its present volume
is due largely to the enormous sums
of money spent by them in advertis-
ing Hawaii and in providing fast and
luXuriously appointed steamships.
They have built up Honolulu's tour
list trade and regard the continued
agitation for the removal of the pro-
lection that has made this possible
as a species of base ingratitude.
The local ship owners believe that
any suspension of the coastwise ship
ping law between here and Honolulu
would throw all the passenger busi-
ness into foreign hands. The first
manifestation of dissatisfaction with
the service contributed by the Ameri-
can lines followed the appearance on
the run between here and the orient
of the Japanese liners Tenyo Maru
and Chiyo Maru. A third ship, built
on the same palatial lines, will be in
commission within a few months. The
Japanese line will then have three
large and two small steamers run
ming between here and Honolulu.
The Japanese line, being heavily
subsidized, could afford to cut the
rate between here and Honolulu in
half if given the privilege of carry
ing local passengers, and the Ameri-
can ship owners believe that it would
only be a question of few months

Honolulu Can Benefit From Aus
tralia.
when the pest was introduced
into Australia, the people down there
had not the experience of other coun-
tries to assist them in combating the
pest. They had to go to work, and
devise a means of their own. Their
them any material benefit at ALL They
adopted the clean culture method
i. e., destroying the affected fruit, and
this proved successful. In the Hawkes.
bury district, there were some excel
lent peaches, but suddenly the fly at
tackled them. This fruit was really
growing wild, and no one would I'M
dertake the responsibility of looking
after it, so the government sent it's
men in, and they cut down the trees,
and for several seasons afterwards no
fruit came from that part at all.
No Need to Cut Trees.
There is no need to cut down the
trees at all, and they were only treat
ed in this manner because there was
no one there who would look after
them. Had they been in an orchard
run by private enterprise, the govern
ment would merely have enforced the
law about destroying the affected
fruit. But in the circumstances, the
only thing to do was to cut the trees
almost down, and thus take away the
breeding places. This proved an ex-
cellent bar to the progress of the pest
in that district, and saved many of
the growers from heavy losses.
Peaches the Favorite Fruit.
Peaches are the fly's favorite fruit
so far. OF course, it might get into
the guava if no attempt is made to
prevent it, and then again it may be
that it would not attack it at all, pre-
ferring other fruits. The mango,
should think, would be fruit that il
will breed in very rapidly. 1t seems
to me that that would be exactly the
kind to suit it. Anyway, l do moi
think that Honolulu should find any
great difficulty in removing it from

"The island will never be rid of the

fected fruit is burnt off, was the
warning prophecy given yesterday by
r. Lester, an Australian, who has
had many years experience with this
fly in orchards around Sydney,

Down there" he continued, "the
persimmon seemed to be the most af-
fected. That fruit has pretty tough
hide, but the fly seemed to have no
difficulty in piercing it. For this rea-
son l am afraid that the pest will
get into the wild guava if every pos
sible means are not taken to prevent
it. 1t is no use spraying or fumigat-
ing. The only way is by burning, at
least that was the way I treated my
places, and 1 got excellent results.

ION my orchard, where my cannery

successful was l by this method that
at the end of four years scarcely had

this long had it not been for ignor-
ance of how to treat the pest. AS
soon as l learnt about the suggestion
