BANANAS and COTTON
BEGINNING To BOOM
COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE is
INTERESTED IN PROGRESS
OF INDUSTRIES.

These are busy days for the members
of the committee on agriculture, for
estry, promotion and immigration. The
committee has been investigating the
possibilities of the Bluefelds bananas
as great industry for the Islands, and
is surprised at the progress that has
been made since the United Fruit Com
pany started things going here.
Chairman Ed. Towse announces that
the government experiment stations on
Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and Kauai-eight
of them-are propagating suckers from
Bluefelds stock as rapidly as possible,
besides which the Hilo railroad is help
ing along. the same line and a number
of private ranehmen are also growing
suckers.
There is great demand for suckers
here-the banana variety-and it is the
belief of the committee that before long
the banana industry will be most i'm
portant part of the island trade. So
far, reports Mr.. Towse, the committee
has found little it can do to help along
the preliminaries, as the government ex-
pertinent stations and Others are doing
all that is necessary.
1t is different, however, with the cot
ton industry. This also promises to be
of great Importance to the Islands, es-
pecially as the reports show that the
cotton raised here is of the finest quail
ity grown anywhere and commands a
high price.
Over five hundred acres Of new cot
ton land have recently been placed un-
der cultivation, and the committee finds
that while the dreaded boll-Weevil is
absent, there is another pest which is
detriment. This is a worm which at
taeks the boil, and the committee Is
now preparing plan TO import a para
site which win attack this worm. With
this pest eliminated, the members of the
committee believe that the cotton in
dustry win quickly rank as one Of the
most important industries here.

SENATE IS AFTER A
FEW MORE DOLLARS

Evidently the representatives in the
lower house of the legislature thought
the senate was trying to "beat them
to it," when it came to dividing the
federal appropriation of $4,000 for
their expenses, for the lower house
members yesterday refused to concur
in concurrent resolution by which the
senators appropriated to themselves
$4,000 and allowed the house $4,000.
The concurrent resolution was sent
to the senate from the house, in the
drst place, setting the division at
$4,000 for the house and $4,000 for
the senate, basing the division on the
ground that there are twice as many
members in the house, and consequently
it should have twice as much money.
But the senate did not see it that
way and amended the resolution to suit
them better. When the house refused
to accept the amendment, Speaker Hol
stein appointed conference committee
of three-Represent Coney, Wat
kins and Waiaholo--to try and straight.

The lease giving E. P. Irwin the con-
troll of the Wahiawa country resort,
formerly the Malukukui Hotel, was
signed yesterday by the trustees of the
Atherton estate and the new proprietor
took possession at once.
Numerous expensive additions and
repairs about the place have been al
ready planned and will be Immediately
executed, increasing the capacity Of
the hotel and making it cosier and
nearer the standards of the comfort in
city hostelries.
An automobile will meet the trains

SCARE
COMES TO END
NO NEW CASES DOCTORS THINK
THEY HAVE DISCOVERED
INFECTION CENTER.

In the lack Of development in the
cholera situation yesterday, asfar as
new cases are concerned, the board Of
health and physicians generally profess
TO see an end to the threatened cpl
demie, providing that the community as
a whole still keeps up its sanitary vigil
lance and does not let too readily
supposed security lead it back to the
old basis.
The most important discovery made
since the first case appeared on Hustace
lane was made yesterday in the dis
eovery of the probably source of in
lection. This gives the board a hold
on the situation which it did not have
before and which makes the end of the
present series of cases the more prob
able. The source of infection is now
believed to be two large ponds in Ke-
walo, very near the place where the
cholera first appeared. Chinese taro
has been grown there and sold widely
since the outbreak. Moses t. Clegg,
one of President Mott.Smith Is stmedi.
cal detectives discovered the micro.
scopic crooks in these ponds, both of
which were full Of baccilli.
Taro from these fields had been taken
from the ponds and sold in the market
ever since the first case, from which the
ponds were most likely infected. The
other cases, appearing in such widely
separated districts, can probably all be
traced to the consumption Of the food
grown here, and there is still also the
possibility that there is some of this
taro in private homes at the present
time, where it may be eaten ana result
in another outbreak.
The moment the discovery was made
President Mott.Smith personally went
to the ponds and stationed guards, and
then returned to the markets. as fast
as his machine could take him and saw
that all the taro there Of the variety
grown in Kewalo was destroyed If
any more cases appear and are due TO
the consumption of this vegetable, the
taro will have been purchased before
Doctor Clegg's discovery.
All the sulphuric acid in the city was
poured into the ponds yesterday, but
even the amount on hand is not consid-
cred sufficient to completely destroy the
bacilli, and precautions are still being
taken.
No new cases were developed yester.
day, either among the many contacts
who are being held at the Kalihi quar-
antine station or in outside districts
In accordance with statements of the
president last week, it is possible that
a number of the restrictions viii be
taken off if the promise of the present
situation is maintained.
The discovery of the bacilli in the
pond does not give clue as to the
erigination of the disease.

On Rate Ruling Taken by
Judge Lovett.

Los Angeles, Feb. 25.-R. S. Lovett,
president of the Southern Pacific rail-
way who succeeded to the kingdom of
Harrison, today declared that the de-
commerce committee against the rail-
roads raising their rates would have
a depressing effect upon the industry.
Judge Lovett is here with a party
on an inspection trip. The main thing
he said, was that railroads would be
hampered in getting money. But,
perhaps" he added optimistically
there will be some way to regain the
confidence of capital.
He asserted that it was impossi.
BILE for railroads to stand still in de-
velopment and declared there must be
some way of getting the money to
carry out programs Of improvements.
I'VE have spent fabulous sums in
the last year." he said, despite han
dicaps put on the railroads by adverse
legislation and the restrictiong of our
right to earn fair returns on legiti-
mate expenditures

Dishonorable Discharge for
Destroying a Home.
tAmerican News Scrvice)

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 2J.-sAnd
the woman shall be nameless.' This
is the pledge of all officers who were
in any way connected with the court
martial which tried Captain Gug B.
Smith Of the Fourth Infantry, West
Pointer from Michigan and tae son Of
a brigadier-general. The court recon-
mended the dismissal of the captain
from the service and the President
has approved the finding of the
court.
The formal charge was OF conduct
unbecoming an officer and gentleman.
1t is generally accepted that the
trouble involving Captain Smith broke
while the Fourth Infantry was return
ing on a transport from the Philip
pines Three days before the boat
reached San Francisco the captain
was arrested.
1t is said in garrison gossip that the
basis of the charges against the cap.
tain was that he entered the wrong
stateroom on the Trans-Pacific voyage
and found it occupied by the wife OF
brother officer. Capt. Smith has a
wife and son five years old.

SOME ADVISOR IS
THAT NORTON MAN
With Usual Rare Tact Fav-
ors Healing as Indiana
Plumber Boss.
(American News Service)

Washington, Feb. 25.-Charles D.
Norton, secretary to President Taft,
with that rare tact that made him so
popular as a secretary that he lost
his job, is seeking to do President
Taft final favor before he, Norton,
goes out of office, by having Joe
Healing made referee of federal pat
ronage in Indiana.
A few days ago Norton, who was in
Chicago, wired to Healing at Indiana
polls to join him and travel to. Wash
ington to confer with the President
about the marshalship. Healing was
not able to accept the invitation to
be travel companion to Norton, but
he came on to Washington for the
conference and recommended to the
President that Fred Sims be appoint
ed Marshal to succeed Petit. He
told the President that Sims was not
identified with any faction in the
state and that in selecting him the
President would be going out Of the
way of factialism, thing that is sc
abhorrent to Healing.
The President let it be known to
day that he would not make the ap
pointment for some time to come
Meanwhile, Petit will continue te
hold on.
Edwin M. Lee, state chairman. is
being urged to take his old place T.
an international revenue agent y

dollars day and travel expenses
Healing suggested to the President
that Lee ought to be reinstated ir
that berth and to give up activity il
poliics which would deprive him o.
the craftsmanship. This is Joe's ides
of 'reorganizing and rehabitating" th'
Republican party in Indiana.
He does not approve of federal Off
ers being active in politics.

er in Joe Healing the material fol

Norton admitted, blushingly, Jim Wat
son had recommended Healing for thu
job while Norton and Watson were
riding on a railroad train between

! posed to have been an inspiration
with Mr. Watson.

GERMANY wins IN
THE POTASH WAR
United States Will Not Use
Drastic Actions Against
That Country.
(American News Service)

Washington. Feb. 25.-The United
States will not enforce the maximum
provisions of the tariff against Ger
many in case that country insists on
maintaining the potash tax, nor is
there much probability that Germany
will yield to the wishes of the United
States in any of the essentials of the
controversy. This is the view taken
In well-informed quarters of the Unit
ed States regarding the potash ques-
tion as it stands today.
For time there was a prospect of
President Taft retaliating on Ger
many by enforcing the maximum pro.
visions Of the tariff law. The presi-
dent hesitated TO do this and was
plunging this nation into tariff war
with a powerful European country
which does an enormous business
with the United States
Less talk is heard now Of trying to
drive the executive into the use of
the maximum provisions of the tariff
laws.
The truth is that some of the Pres
idents closest advisers do not think
this Is proper case for retaliation
on Germany by the use of the maxi.
mum duties. President Taft is un.
derstood to be inclined to this view
IL is certain he has been slow to lay
his hands on the maximum club and ii
is now pretty generally taken for
granted he will not.
In the meantime the state depart.
ment has taken up the matter anew
with the German government 1t is
trying to evolve some solution of the
question. but there is so far little
signs that Germany will do any yield
ing worth mentioning.

A new street car line extending on
South e street from the intersection
of Eighth street to Fifteenth street
thence north to Main street connect
ing with the tracks on that street and
enabling a car TO make a south belt
in the same manner as the north belt

a step to be undertaken by the Terre
Haute, indianapolis and Eastern trac-
tion company in time to enable SER
vice to begin May /. The report en-
would seem to place the stamp of
authority upon it.
Only a meager outline of the pro-
ject is obtainable. No details having
been disclosed. 1t is understood that
the work will be started on laying the
tracks at the earliest possible time,
and that street car officials have de-
clared the new line is to be built to
meet the demands of the rapidly
growing southeastern section of the
city.
Traction facilities of the city would
be increased to a great extent by such
an addition to the service, and the ad
ditional Accommodations afforded the
public would be profitable. the com
pany believes. The proposed line
would provide service in one of the
largest residence section of the city
where a walk of several blocks has al

street car line.
A belt car, it is said, would operate
| over the line between the quarter
hour schedule that is maintained or

simultaneously with the north bel
car.
