GOVERNOR HAY
RESISTS A FAD

OLYMPIA, Wash. December IT,
Governor Marion i. Hay has de.
clned to call a special session Of the
Legislature for the enactment OF a
president preference primary bill,
and in a formal statement sets forth
seven reasons for his action The
leaders Of the movement for an extra
session are mostly supporters of SEN
ator La Toilette. The governors oh.
jections are:
First There is no assurance that
the legislators would pass presiden-
tial primary bill in the extra session,
or that they would not take up other
legislation.
Second A presidential primary bill
was killed at the last session.
Third. The extra session would al
most certainly result in general leg
islation involving heavy appropria.
tions.
Fourth. Beside the cost of the ses-
sion, the proposed primary would
cost $4,000 for it's operation
Fifth. The people can express their
preference for President under the
present system by attending the party
caucuses and primaries.
Sixth. While the sentiment i'm favor
of a President preference primary is
almost universal, great majority of
the people are nevertheless opposed
to an extra session to provide such a
primary.
Seven. Chairmen of county central
committees have no legal power to
appoint delegates to the state conven.
ton, and there is no danger that they
will assume such power.

grade. The straw also is taken into
Baliwag and there worked up in The
Baliwag weave, producing by far the
finest hat in the Philippines. These
are the hats generally sold in the
United States. Before the new tariff
act these hats went mostly to France,
where they were classified and labeled
and shipped to the United States as

italian straw" and other products.
The trade in both the bamboo hats
and the buntal or other burr hats is
of growing importance in the Philip
pines, where both the Bureau of Edu-
cation and the Bureau of Science are
aiding in every way possible in the
spreading of knowledge as to the in
dustry and its possibilities. The
growing trade of the United States
direct is not only shutting out unnec-
essary middlemen's profits in Europe,
but represents an actual doubling of
the output of the islands in the past
five years. Apparently there is no
limit to the trade, either in its vol
ume, particularly as to the cheaper
grade hats, or in the quality of the
output, which may be classed among
the highest in the world.

PR|NCESSES THROWN INTO SEA
AFTER WRECK OF THE DELHI

GIBRALTAR, December 13.-Prin-
cess Louise Victoria, Princess Royal
of Great Britain and Ireland and sis
ter of King George V, and her daugh-
ters, had a thrilling experience today
when the Peninsular and Oriental
steamship Delhi, on which they We're
voyaging to Egypt, struck the reefs
off Cape Spartel, the northwest eX-
tremity of Africa.
While being taken ashore by the
long boat of the British armored
cruiser Duke of Edinburgh they were
thrown into the water by the cap
sizing of the boat, one of the daugh-
ters having a narrow escape from
drowning. She was rescued by a
sailor and carried to land with the
others, all suffering severely from the
bitter cold. The Delhi struck at one
o'clock in the morning, in thick fog.
Immediately all the passengers hur-
ried from their staterooms, half
dressed, and put on life preservers.
Water poured steadily into the cabins,
while enormous seas, sometimes mast
high, broke over the vessel. Signals
of distress were sent out by wireless,
and the first warship to arrive was
the French cutter Friant.
1t was long past daylight before the
Friant's steam launch was able to
come alongside the Delhi. In the
meantime preparations were made
aboard the stranded steamship to
send the women and children ashore.
One of the boats of the Delhi was
lowered and filled with passengers.
The launch finally succeeded in get
ting this in tow, and then steamed to
the British cruiser Duke of Edn-
burgh, where the frightened women
and children were safely taken
aboard.
The Duke of Edinburgh with thirty
eight of the rescued passengers ar
rived here tonight 1t was expected
that the royal party would reach
Gibraltar aboard the battleship Lon
don, but latest reports state that they
had decided to remain for the night at
Tangier, where they are housed in
the British legation.
One of the women passengers, in
describing the wreck, said that there
was not the slightest panic after the
vessel struck. The passengers were
summoned to dress and go on deck,
but were assured that there was lit
tie danger, Arriving on deck they
found the fog dense and the sea beat

NIPA PALM SUGAR
IN PHILIPPINES
CONTINUED from page fveO

Continued from page five.)
Government to place the manufacture
of native drinks, alcohol and spirits
generally upon a revenue basis led to
more or less investigation into the
merits of these palms from an indus
trial standpoint, and the result has
been these reports of the Bureau of
Science as to alcohol and, incidental
ly, but possibly of more Importance,
as to sugar as well.
In these reports the alcohol and
sugar possibilities of these several
palms named are clearly outlined.
Special attention is called to the pos
sibilities of the nipa plant, not only
because of its general merit as plant,
but also because of the fact that it
grows wild in the islands under con-
ditions which render it easy of ac-
cess; it grows in great profusion on
land which is largely waste for other
purposes; its economic handling is
possible from transportation and la
Dor standpoint, and the economic
handling of the sap, chemically and
otherwise, offers advantages. In the
view of the Bureau of Science it is,
in short, a highly valuable economic
plant growing under such special con-
ditions in the Philippines as to war
rant special expectations. While the
nipa palm is put forward as the one of
great importance in alcohol and sugar
production, other palms are shown to
be of great Importance in such lines
in their respective localities and ac-
cording to local conditions
According to the report of the bu-
reau the nipa is an erect, stemless
palm of which the leaves and info
rescence rise from a branched root
stock, the leaves running from nine
to thirty feet in length. 1t grows
along the tidal marshes of rivers in
low wet lands subject to overfows of
brackish water as the tides rise each
day, and it will not thrive where
either fresh or sea water alone is
available. Nipa swamps of consider
able size occur in practically all the
Philippines, and inasmuch as they oc-
cur in lands which otherwise are use
less or almost without value the cul-
tivation of nipa palms where they are
cultivated, or the presence of nipa
trees wild where not cultivated af-
fords a profitable crop on little origi-
nal outlay.
The sugar-making possibilities Of
these saps, considered commercially,
seem to hinge largely upon conditions
under which the sap can be gathered
and handled. The saps of the three
principal sugar-bearing palms, the
nipa. the coco, and the burr, run re-
markedly close together In compost
ton. The average composition at
1915 density runs about 17.5 per cent
solids; GAG per cent ASH O,54 per
cent heterogeneous compounds, etc.
1865 per cent sucrose and traces of re-
ducing sugars and acidity AS they
exude from the trees these saps are
generally neutral, but they ferment
quickly, and one of the problems in
sugar-making would be the preserya-
ton of sap until it could be worked.
The sap from these trees as a rule is
obtained through the flower stalk. In
the nipa the flower stalk is cut off i'm
mediately below the fruit 1t is gen
