officer WithhoIds Information.
Second Lieutenant @. w. Edgerly, Sec
ond infantry, was recently called on by at
torneys for an enlisted man, who had
filed a claim against the government, to
furnish whatever information he might
possess which would enable them to es-
tablish the claim. lie refused to furnish
any evidence whatever and sought in
structions on the subject from the War
department II has always been held
that II would be prejudlclal to the in
terests OF the public for officers to give
ont Information which might be used
against the government, and. therefore.
that IL was the duty of the department
c'u mander TO determine whether infor-
nation desired should be disclosed. The
attorneys were informed that they should
make requests for the information
through the War department. In this
particular case the enlisted man sought
to establish a claim for the value of
property alleged TO have been destroyed
inl fire at Fort Assinibone. A board
Of officers was convened, which found
that the claim was fraudulent and
recommended the mans punishment, but
the commanding officer dlsapproved
these findings.

Army Desertion reward.

The suggestion has been made to the
War department that the payments Of the
reward for the apprehension Of deserters
from the army be delayed until there
can be conclusive proof of desertion,"
The military authorities do not approve
OF this proposition. which would mean
the postponement OF the payment of the
reward until an alleged deserter was tried
BY court-martial and the proceedings re-
viewed, or until the man shall have been
returned to duty without trial. It Is
realized that such a delay would defeat
the purpose for which the reward Is of
fered, purpose which, it is believed. is
aided by the knowledge on the part of
the civil authorities that the return Of
deserter to military custody insures a
prompt and practically certain payment.
Otherwise interest in the apprehension
OF deserters from the army would neces-
sarily diminish. The probability of ap-
prehenslon under the present system OF
advertising deserters has had a material
influence In reducing the number of de-
sertions. Anything which interferes with
that system would be little short of dis
astrous. The War department has. there
fore. disapproved OF the recommendation,
which came from one of the division
headquarters.

Won Hamm-YOung Co.
Receive Peerless Cars

The big establishment of the Won
Hamm-Young Company has been fair
ly besieged with enthusiastic automo-
bilists and prospective buyers since
the arrival of the 1912 models of the
Peerless cars. And, in fact, the whole
concern, including all departments,
has had an exceptionally busy week,
making sales, deliveries and repairs,
and an unusual amount of supplies
has gone over the counter this week
The two Peerless cars which ar
rived on the steamer Lurline on We'd
nesday are certainly all which the
name implies. They still retain their
very characteristic grace and elegance
and seem to be farther ahead of their
last years models than they were in
previous years. These two cars are
both equipped with a new type of
Gray & Davis dynamos, which supply
the current for all five lamps. This
new dynamo is one of the most sim.
ply constructed machines which has
ever been put on the market and is
entirely encased, which absolutely
protects it from oil, dirt and grease.
1t is driven by a link belt which is
being used so extensively and so sue.
cessfully on drives of this type and is
absolutely noiseless. The dynamo is
supported on a stationary bracket, of
which the upper part is planed to an
angle of about ten degrees, so that
the set screws may be released and
the dynamo moved back on the
bracket in order to increase the cen
ter distance between the two Dulleys
to allow for the stretch Of the link
belt. This is one Of the cleverest
and most stable adjustments which
has ever been placed on a machine of
this type and is very easy TO operate.
Electric lights on an automobile are
becoming more and more essential
every day and now that the electro
current is so reliable and the dynamo
30 simple that it is fast becoming
positive requirement rather than a
luxury. 1t will only be short time
before all cars will be equipped with

these new dynamos in order to Offset
the trials and tribulations of the pres,
tolite tanks and generators.
Both of the cars are Of the six-cyl-
inder type one being a SO horsepower
and the other a As horsepower, and
they both have a good many new
features which have a tendency to
make the machine more comfortable
and more easy to handle. These ma.
chimes have the most beautiful lines
and the handsomest bodies OF any
cars that have ever been imported
into the territory, having a very low
back to the tonneau with a beautiful
curved effect, being finished off with
the grace Of a platform spring. The
tonneauX are both very roomy and
comfortable an d the hoods are just
long enough to balance the car and
give them a most pleasing effect.
The Won Hamm-Young Company re-
ceived this week by the S. S. Sierra
the first shipment of 1912 Overlands.
This is the first time that Honolulu
has had a chance to see the wonder
full car which is being put out this
year by the Wileys-Overland people
for 5000. 1t seems like a myth to say
that any factory can produce a five
passenger, fore-door, 80 horsepower
touring car with 32x3h wheels for
5000, However, this is the case with
the Overland people and the car is
way ahead of all expectations. Beau
tiful lines, easy riding qualities, a null
titude of power and speed, and plenty
of room in the tonneau are the speci.
fications of this car 1t is one of the
neatest little cars which has ever
been put out and for $9O0-there is
not an equal to 1t anywhere within
$1,000 this price.
The honor roll of the Won Hamm-
Young Company is increasing very
rapidly, the additions to same this
week being:

NEW CARS FOR THE
SCHUMAN GARAGE

A new Ford touring car arrived in
yesterdays steamer for the Schuman
Carriage Company and is now on the
floor of the garage in Queen street.
The car is of the 1912 model and is
attracting considerable interest on ac-
count of the Improvements over the
1911 machine.
Two of the 1912 r. NJ. F. cars ar
rived in the Lurline, and a shipment
of six of these splendid machines will
be due to arrive here in the Wilhel-
nina, due October 81.

Cars Advertised By
The Leading Garages

When the Star put forward a spe-
cial automobile section in September
only a few of the 1912 cars had ar
rived here, and auto owners generally
were not familiar with the points
marking the new ideas. Now, how
ever, advance 1912 cars have reached
here, and are to be seen in the gar
ages and on the streets.
THE NEW HAYNES.
The new Haynes, handled by J. A.
Gilman, has arrived, and is notable
for a number of improvements over
the 1911 machine. Mr. Gilman is re-
ceiving many inquiries about this car
and is booking orders for machines
soon to arrive. The Haynes is an ex-
ceedingly attractive car, has the
strength for all kinds of roads and Sc

for any purpose. 1t is not an expen.

and quality are taken into account.

coming, and he is taking orders for
still others. The American is one Of
the classiest machines ever seen in
the islands and is destined to become
a great favorite.
THE PEERLESS.
This machine has never been as Wig
orously presented in the islands as il
has deserved. 1t is highly esteemel
on the mainland and is sure TO gain
rapidly in popularity here. The Won
Hamm-Young Company have taken
the agency for the Peerless, which is
in itself guarantee of the qualities
of the car, and probably means that it
will soon become a familiar sight OH
the streets and roads of the islands.
THE E. M. F.
This standard car is handled by the
Schuman Carriage Company. Il is too
well known in the islands to require
description. The 1912 e, M. F. carries
a number of improvements over the
1911 car, which will be quickly appre-
ciated by the enthusiast.
In addition to the cars mentioned
above, the Won Hamm- Young Com
pany and the Schuman Carriage Com
pany carry others, of standard make
and varying prices. The lists are we'll
worth going over by prospective pur-
chasers.
