-FOUR NEW LAWS ARE
SIGNED BY GOVERNOR

There are some new laws in the land
which we must hereafter duly respect.
Among the most important is Act 81
of the "session Laws of 1911" which
the Governor signed yesterday and
which compels the counties to make a
financial report to the Territory at fre-
quent and stated intervals.
Another new law, Act %, creates the
commission which is to be appointed
by the chief executive and thereafter
work for uniform legislation in the
United States. 1t is a big undertaking
aud Hawaii is disregarding its size in
taekling it.
Other important new laws which
We're also signed by the Governor pro.
vide for the summoning of jurors and
the other relates to records such as
marriage licenses, the granting of which
has been placed on more systematic

Diaz is yielding and that both he and
his right-hand man, Jose Limantour,
minister of finance, win make conces-
sions to settle the revolution. the in
surgent leaders today issued state
me1t laying down conditions that Mex
leo must observe. One of them is that
Diaz must retire from the presidency
of the republic, the reason given being
that his election was obtained by fraud
and was invalid.
The rebels declare that unless these

Thousands in Camp in
and Around Post at
San Antonio.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 1s.-
All day yesterday, with horse, foot and
guns, the troops of the United States
Army, called oat for maneuvers,
poured into this place, regiment after
regiment detraining and marching into
camp.
BY six O'Clock last evening moro
than ten thousand men had arrived,
with Major General Carter in command
of the mobilized army
What was expected of the soldiers
none knew. General Edwards pro-
fessed ignorance Tor the mobilization
orders, announcing that his instruc-
tions carried no intimation of anything
to be expected beyond tactical work
for the brigades in camp and along the
Mexican line.
Last night, after the men had turned
in, there was a consultation with the
commander by the various brigadier
generals in camp, consequent on an un-
expected order from the war depart
ment that the men must hold them
selves in readiness to take the field at
two hours notice.
Just what significance is to be at
tached to the order is unknown here,
while the officials of the war depart
ment besieged by the newspaper cor
respondents, notified from here, refuse
to give out any explanation of the
order.
Throughout the army the prepara-
tions for active duty, which may be
real or merely practice, are causing
much comment.

GENEROUS RAISE
IN WAGE SCALE
RAPID TRANSIT PUTS IN FORCE
A NEW SYSTEM OF
PAYING.
lFrom saLarday,a AaverLIser.l

(From Saturdays Advertiser)
One Of the most radical steps in tho
administration Of the operating depart.
ment Of the Honolulu Rapid Transit
and Land company since its organiza-
tion ten years ago. was taken vester.
day when General Manager G. G.. Bal.
lentyne posted a notice in the assembly
room of the motomen and conductors
informing them that sliding scale of
wages had been adopted by the board
of directors and would be operative on
and after April ], giving a minimum
wage of thirty cents an hour and
maximum of forty cents after ten years
service.
The notice was received by the men
with enthusiasm which was spontaneous
and the night shift went out on their
cars with lighter hearts and the day
men came in after a weary nine hours
toll at the brakes and register cords
to be greeted by news which was at
first almost unbelievable. In brief the
notice means that man who gets a
cap and badge today and is started out
on car gets thirty cents an hour, and
it means also, that the men who have
worked for ten years steadily, will on
April first receive forty cents per hour,
an increase of about $25 per month in
their wages. The notice as posted is
as follows:
HONOLULU RAPID TRANSIT &
LAND COMPANY.
Order No. "a, to conductors and
motormen:
Beginning with April l, 1911, and
continuing until further notice, the fol
lowing graduated scale of wages, for
continuous service. will be effective
subject to such notifications of the
contract SIS the directors may determine
upon from time to time:

PEACE IN LITTLE
CHINA, PERFDRGE
(From Saturdays Advertiser }

(From Saturdays Advertiser,)
Chu Gem, one of the influential Chi
nese merchants of the city, stated yes.
terday that the present quietude in the
trouble between the Chinese and the
consul was due to the fact that another
consul is still on his way here and that
the people are willing to "suffer 1"
the presence of the incumbent until
the new man arrives. This apparent
forgetfulness of past troubles does not,
therefore, seem to indicate that the
people are satisfied but merely that
there is no other course open to them
but to wait patiently.
The principle reason that aroused the
ire of the local Chinese against their
consul was the special census when it
was necessary to come through with
some money, at least the consul said
it was. Those who refused to comply
with the order were straightway post
ed in China as revolutionists and un-
desirable citizens. This made it impos-
sible for the posted ones to go back to
their native land without getting into
trouble or at least being put under the
most stringent surveillance. The rela.
tives of the posted ones were also affect
ed as the Chinese Government looks
upon the relatives of an undesirable as
being nearly in the same boat. The
consul IS action brought many a scath-
ing letter from people living in China
but all were ignored.
When interviewed yesterday Chu Gem
stated that it was not known as to the
exact date of the arrival Of the new
consul from China, but that it would
be in the near future.

UNEXPECTED DEATH

yesterday when A. Aston Deas, the
deputy clerk of the court, died at his

losis for some time, bat his death was
unexpected, he himself supposing that
after short vacation from his duties
he would again be able to resume
them.
Mr.. Deas held the position of
deputy clerk for two and a half years
previous to his death and was for three
years previous to that court stenog-
rapher, making five years and more
during which he has held a position
in the United States court for this
district.
Previous to his appointment to the
federal court he was stenographer in
the attorney-general's Office under Lor-
rim Andrews administration, and still
previous to that held similar posi-
tion in Alexander g. Baldwin's IS offices
Mr.. Deas leaves a widow and is sur.
vived, besides, by his brother, Doctor
Deas, of the Hama plantation, his
mother and a sister, Mrs. Victor Hurd

cation was received in San Francisco

NOT CONSPIRACY,
JUST A CONTRACT
TARo GROWERS EXPLAIN WHY
THEY REFUSE TO SELL
PRODUCT
LION saturaay,s . AdvertIser.l

President Mottsmith, Of the terri
torial board Of health, received com
munication yesterday from eleven taro
growers of Manoa Valley, in which
they try to refute the charge that they
have conspired with the poi shop own
ers to cause a famine in poi by refusing
to sell their taro to the factories which
the board have allowed to operate
under sanitary conditions.
These growers assert that an injus-
tice has been done them in the publish
ed story of conspiracy in restraint of
trade. At the same time they aclxnowl-
edge that they are under some kind of
one-sided contract by which the poi
shop owners control their output, but
say that if this contract can be can
celed they will be glad to sell their
taro to anyone willing to pay "the
best price for it.

omcial Statement.


Honolulu, T. H., March Is, 1911.
Hon. 3. A. Mott-Smith, President
Board of Health, Honolulu.
Strive, the undersigned, firms and
individual taro planters of Manoa, beg
to call to your attention of an article
appeared in The Sunday Advertiser en-
titled, "Charge Chinese with Con-
spiracy," wherein it states that all the
Chinese taro growers and poi shop own
ers are conspiring together to force the
board of health to permit them to open
their poi shops without supervision by
the health inspectors and that they re-
fuse to be guided by the regulations of
the board Of health; that there is a
conspiracy on the part of the taro
growers and the poi shop owners to
limit the supply of taro, distinct vio-
lation of the law in restraint of trade,
is the opinion of Representative Coney (;
and that the health committee of the
house has laid the matter before the
United States district attorney for in
vestigation as to any violation of said
law, and that certain taro growers may
be cited to appear and do some explain
ing.
We believe that grave injustice has
been done to the taro growers by the
said article. 1t tends to show that we
taro growers, are having some kind OF
connection with the poi shop owners
and are in sympathy with the move
ment of opposing the board of health
On the contrary, we wish to state that
we are not only not in sympathy with
any movement of the kind, but we will
sell our taro to anyone who will offer
us the best price provided our contract
to sell all of our taro to the poi shop
owners can be Cancelled, which we are
trying to do if possible"
