The White Star is the third big
Atlantic line to seek a location here
within two months. Herman Win.
ter, Lhe assistant manager of the
Cunard company, was here in June,
and at that time made a careful in
spection of the harbor front. Last
month representatives of the Ham
burg-American company were here
and entered into negotiations with the
Laws for the purchase of their JIM
mense holdings on the harbor front
near the foot of Fillmore street. Other
companies are said to have sought TO
arrange for docking accommodations
on the Oakland side of the bay.

THE THEATERS

Needless to say the excellent turn
put up by the Hagans at the Empire
is attracting crowded houses each
night. Their humOr is new and they
tell their stories in a way that is
most effective. Nothing is lost in tie
telling. They have plenty of changes,
and their stay at the Empire should
be a long one Miss Lottie O'Malley
is still in the bill.
The Bijou has a big program at
present, for the Eldids are increasing
in popularity each night. Their
thrilling bicycle act, which is liber-
ally besprinkled with fun, is going
even better than ever, and they are
packing the Bijou each evening. The
Bell Trio are doing well also, and
Madam Harrison is still assisting.
New Talent by Lurine.
BY the Lurline this morning there
arrived Edward Alton and James WV
ian, who come here under contract to
the Honolulu Amusement Company.
They are said to be able to submit
an excellent acrobatic performance.
Their OF ening night has not yet been
decided upon.

orable influence on other trade which
this reconstruction of enormous CAPT
tai would bring about. The magnitude
of the Standard Oil Company's indus.
tries is, perhaps, not generally appre-
ciated. It is the largest employer of
labor i'm the world. Under ordinary
conditions it gives direct employment
to more than $4,000 men. At such
times its daily pay roll is more than
S15O0O0. The value of its exports,
which brings millions into this coun-
try, to the great benefit of all our
people. is over $25O,OOO a day. Its cap
ital is S1OO,OOO,000. It distributed last
year in earnings SSo,OOO,OOO. Tie
American Tobacco Company also does
an enormous business. If these Two
companies had failed the effects on
all other business would have been
most disastrous. Disintegration is, of
course, not failure, but it has its draw
backs These vast organizations are
to be dissolved into component COM
panies or to be readjusted, and during
the operation the effect must be dis
turbing. Dividends must be withheld.
The Tobacco Company directors have
already announced that the dividend
on the common stock will be passed,
giving as a reason that the payment
of dividends might be construed by
the courts as improper and lacking in
respect. 1t is logical to infer that Givi-
dends on the preferred stock for the
same reasons will also be passed The
preferred stock is widely held by
smaller investors. The dividend is
cumulative and must be provided for
in some way, but the interruption Will
cause considerable discomfort.
The effect upon the business OF
these companies by the disintegration
which is to follow must be unfavora.
BILE. In the case of the Standard Oil
Company a careful estimate of the
cost of doing business, when the sep
aratiOn has been effected, shows that
the added expense will amount to fiji.
teen per cent to twenty per cent. more
than in its present combined form.
1t will, of course, be said that the bus
mess can easily afford this; but it
must be remembered that the added
expense is a loss of efficiency, and
every loss of this kind happening to
one part of the body polite is a dis.
tinct loss to the whole community.
If the dissolution of these two great
corporations is disturbing, what would
be the effect if the logical course were
pursued-if the 1900 other corpora
tons proved to be organized on the
same lines as the Standard Oil Com
pany were also directed by the courts
e to separate themselves into fractions
