SOLDIERS
IN FIGHT.

The police received a message from
the Pacific saloon at 1870 that fight
was in progress outside the place
and requesting the presence OF Off
GERS, and Officers Alameda and Ma
wahi rushed to the scene and found
crowd Surrounding three blue
jackets, each of whom bore marks Of
recent encounter, two of them being
literally splashed with blood. One
o. them was armed with a 2X4 COM
mandeered from a nearby brewery
wagon, and was brandishing it in a
hostile manner.
The bluejackeUs and some sol
diers said that they had gone into
the saloon for a drink and had been
set on by the proprietor, Dick Sullivan,
and beaten up. Sullivan said that
they got into a fight outside and then
came into his place and raised such
racket that he had to gently but
firmly put them out. He said that he
didn't see any act of violence in his
saloon, and that if such were commit
ted it must have been by some per-
son unknown to him.
The bluejackets and a soldier or
two then went to the police station
and asked Deputy Sheriff Rose for
special permit to go and clean out
the Pacific, which request was very
properly refused
Then they wanted a warrant for the
arrest of the man who had committed
the assault and when Rose told them

COCK CROWEO
LOUD AND OFT

A Hawaiian woman appeared at the
police station and demanded to see
some one in authority
She asked Deputy Sheriff Rose how
she could stop a neighbor's cock from
growing.
Rose referred her to Chief of De-
tectiges McDuffie, who has had eX-
perience with chicken thieves.
McDuffiie told the woman that the
course which she should pursue de-
pended in large measure to whom
the noisy fowl belonged.
IT'S my neighbor's," said she, "and
every morning he crow-crow so loud
that I can't sleep nor my little dog
nor my popok,"
"In that case" said the local Solo
mon, "it may be well to reason with
your neighbor and show him the
error of the birds ways. Had the
bird belonged to you, l should have
suggested a little discreet throat
cutting"
And the woman went away greatly
comforted and returned to her home.

lantana pest. and also the study Of
leprosy.

At the meeting of the special COM
mittee of the Civic Federation on
Streets, Parks and Public Ways, held
yesterday in the Public Service
rooms, the matter of awarding the
belt road contract to the Lord-Young
Company was brought before the
committee in the following letter
from Frank J. Green:
Honolulu, October 5, 1911.
IN. NJ McChesney, Esq, Chairman
Parks, Streets and Public Works
Committee, Civic Federation, Ho-
nolulu.
Dear Sir: I beg to enclose you
herewith a cutting from the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser under date of
October 4, 1911, bearing upon the con-
tract of the Oahu belt road.
You will note by this enclosure
that the first five miles of belt road
have been allotted to Lord & Young
at price of $79,710. You will also
kindly note that there was a lower
bid offered by John Wilson, the price
quoted by him being $79,367.

paper: Wilson's figure was based
on a profit of approximately $3O,OO0.'
'In view Of this seemingly excess
i've profit, which was expected to be
received by the lowest bidder, it
would seem to me that the total
amount demanded for the construc-
ton of the road was far in excess Of

The Sugar Outlook
Is Quite Promising

The past week has been generally
encouraging to the local sugar indus
try. Reports of continued disaster
to the German beet crop, with
shortage of the Cuban crop, has had
its effect in bolstering up local
stocks which, despite continued high
prices of sugar and outlook for even
increased dividends, have been weak
Prices cannot be said to be particu-
larly low, but there seems to have
been a consistent lack of confidence
which has made buyers very shy.
There is more or less difference Of
opinion as to the cause of this state
of affairs. Probably most brokers
and sugar men believe that the pub
lie fears some detrimental monkeying
with the tariff by Congress this win
ter. Sugar men generally do not be-
lieve there is much danger of this,
though to what extent the wish faith
ers the conviction is hard to say.
The head of one of the largest agen-
Cies, however, gave his reasons for
confidence in substance as follows:
81 do not believe" he said, that
there is much danger that the tariff
will be changed this year for several
reasons. In the first place, before a
Democratic Congress could we'll cut
down the tariff it would have to see
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-10-07

some substitute method of raising
the big revenue which the sugar tar
iff furnishes. At present there seems
to be no practical way that this could
be done. Then the Louisiana cane
sugar and the western beet sugar
interests are going to be powerful
factors against any reduction of the
sugar tariff. But even should Con
gross pass such a measure, | believe
the President would veto it. as he did
the wooden schedule bill, until his
tariff commission could have opportu-
nifty to report on it,"
Barring the tariff bugaboo, all indi-
cations point to generally even bet
ter prices for next years crop than
for the present years. This year
started in with very low prices, and
over 25OOOO tons, or nearly half the
total crop, got to market with prices
below four cents. The new crop will
start off with better prices than this,
and with short crops abroad It seems
unlikely that any great amount of the
new crop will be sold at less than
this figure.

CHIEFS
HOLD A COUNCIL

There was a full representation of
the supervising principals of the
schools of Hawaii, in the office of SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction
Pope this morning. Seventeen princi-
pals from Oahu and the otner islands
were in attendance, and the meeting
was called to order at 9 O'clock. \
Superintendent Pope presided and
he had on his right Inspector Gibson,
who answered all questions put by
the principals on the important mat
ter of grading teachers. The whole
system was explained in a pamphlet
that was passed around, and then a
general discussion on the matter took
place.
Superintendent Pope opened the
proceedings by explaining how the
plan for having the principals meet
in Honolulu once a year was thought
of some time ago. 1t was at first pro
posed to hold the meeting in the early
summer but, for various reasons, the
decision was come to that later in the
year would be better.
I'VE have a more liberal appropria-
ton than ever for the public schools,
said the superintendent, "and tho
prospects for the future are brighter

AS he pulled shoreward he tried
hard to convince himself that he did

avoid the necessity Of going back for
