The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-08-24

1t is stated that within the last
twelve months twenty commissioned
officers on active duty have either
committed suicide or disappeared.
For eight or ten years such cases
have been on the increase and within
two years the increase, especially
among young officers, has been alarm
ing
The matter was discussed at a meet
ing of officers Of high rank in Wash
ington a few years ago, and a mum.
Der of theories were advanced to ac.
count for the tendency. Some of the
officers held that the juniors had too
little to do; others were strongly in
favor of restricting shore leave almost
entirely. 1t was urged that many
cases of mental breakdown are caused
by unfortunate manners and methods
of enforcing discipline by commanding
officers.

ARMY AND NAVY
Continued from page nine.)

Ordnance Bureau received from the
Firth-Stirling steel plant at Giesboro
Point 300 rounds of ammunition for
use in the trial tests of the 14-inch
guns, which will be mounted at the
approaches of the Panama Canal.
Each one of these steel shot cost
the government S34O, and each shell
equally as much. That makes an ap-
proximate cost of $500 for shot and
shell, without the dunnite, the secret
process powder, used by both branch
es of the service. 1t will be recalled
that it was a dunnite charge from a
12-inch gun that so effectually cracked
the turret of the monitor Florida in
a test at Hampton Roads a few years
ago.
All of the newer dreadnaughts will
be equipped with these guns. 1t is
the conviction Of American experts
that the great vessels of 10000 tons
or over, can easily stand under a
broadside discharge Of ten of these
monsters.
A special recoil set for the guns has
been turned out by the Army Ord
nance Bureau Recent tests have
proven that the life of the 14-inch
guns will be as great, if not greater,
than the Pinch.
Both branches of the service have
adopted the cast gun, with steel cas-.
ing of the type used on the 12-inch.
Booze at Preside.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-Intoxt-
cation was again in evidence at the
entrance to the Preside yesterday
when the four-day boycott of the po-
lice was withdrawn from the numer-
Gus blind pigs" Hundreds of SOL
diers crowded the dives all day ana
night. The residents of the district
and the military authorities are VI in
arms against the action of the police
and declare that something must be
done Immediately.
The protest, which Skahen, the al
legged dive gang leader, declared he
would make when the blind pigs
were closed last week, evidently
reached some one in high authority
connected with the city administra-
ton and the withdrawal of the plain
clothes men was the result.

dives last week those operating the
resorts were Immediately notified
through secret channels, and when
the police arrived on the scene they
found everything under cover. No ar
rests could be made.
A boycott was placed on all the
dives and the unlawful liquor business
was brought to a standstill. This did
not prove profitable to the blind pig
OF orators, and it is fumored that the
alleged protest which they framed up
contained the startling news of the
withdrawal of support to the admin
istration forces in the coming pri-
mary election.
Troops ], B, K and L of the First
Cavalry were paid by the government
paymaster yesterday. That took place
at noon. No sooner was the fact
made known around the dives than
the detectives were called back to
headquarters at the central station
and the dives were allowed to reopen.
Soldiers filed in and out of the re-
sorts from then until late at night, and
government clothes and equipment
were exchanged by them for liquor.
1t is limited by the property owners
of the neighborhood that they will APP
peal to the commander of the Pre-
sidio to place armed guards at the
doorways of these blind pigs" and re-
fuse to allow any soldiers to enter.
The military authorities say that such
action is not within their jurisdiction
and that if any action is taken it must
be done by the local police depart
ment.
Whether the proposed fair grounds
for the 1915 exposition embrace this
blind pig" district the army officers
do not know, but when speaking of
the condition Of affairs at the Presidio
gate yesterday several of the officers
said that no doubt the city contem-

Charlie Chillingworth, defending a

ran to the rescue. Price knocked him
down, took him by the shoulders and
turned him around and kicked him and
seemed likely to injure him Severely
when Wilson drew a billy and knocked
the big fellow unconscious with a blow
on the head.
Price was taken to the Macdouga
