SUGAR STOCKS IN
QU|TESUDDEN
DROP

Sugar stock prices hit the toboggan
this morning and some sensational
drops occurred. There was more of
n change in n few hours than for many
weeks past, and the slump is hitting
nearly every stock offered.
Both local and mainland conditions
are held responsible for the sudden
break In prices. Locally, there Is said
by well informed brokers to be "A gen
eral feeling that prices have been
rather high, even though the planta-
tfons were producing extra and regular
dividends justifylng the prices. Early
In the year the plantations figured on
four and n half or iive-cent sugar, and
now, with the season half over, there
Is a general revision of these figured
based on high price for sugar.
This was emphasized few days
ago. when the board OF directors Of
Eva plantation decided to pass the eN-
peCted quarterly extra dividend. Ewa's
regular monthly dividend Is, of course,
assured. but the quarterly extra, which
was regarded AZ SO certain that II was
almost a regular, was passed and the
sugar stock investors took this pretty
| seriously
or mainland and foreign conditions,

equilibrium. The political unrest and
possible Democratic victory In the

the free sugar bill II now Democratic
: party measure. Then the beet prices
have been dropping, instead Of sugar
going up to meet beets.

a 7OO-foot level. After getting out
over the water he dropped to about
five hundred feet. Instead OF carrying
sand for ballast Naniman depended
upon water which he pumps up into
his tanks through long hose, which

Vaniman had difficulty In controlling

That the leper investigation station

DR.. George w. Mccoy, director of

and this may be one of the reasons
why nothing has been done.
DIR. Mccoy expects to make another

WASHINGTON. D. C.-The commit
tee on finance Of the United States
Senate will use ITS good offices to main
tain a duty on sugar imported into the
United states from foreign countries,
while at the same time raising, OF

sugar that may he imported free OF
duty from the Philippine Islands, ac-
cordng to u statement made by Sem
ator Clark of Wyoming, acting CHAIR
man of. the committee.
His utterance was inspired by an
appeal made to the committee by
Manuel L. QueZon, resident commis-
sioner from the Islands, who declared
that in all equity the United States
should either afford tariff protection to
the Philippine sugar or else permit the
people of the archipelago to waive all
trade advantages existing with the
United States, and negotiate such trea-
ties with their commercial associates
as would protect them adequately. II
was this plea that brought from SEN
ator McCumber the declaration, u

ley would bel say it frankly-to let
the Philippines go Just as soon as

and the Farmers Association.
When given hearing before the
committee Mr.. Quezon stated that the
principal benefit the Philippines had
derived from the ayne-Aldrich tarin
bin was that which had given an Amer
lean market to Philippine sugars. and
that II the sugars of the world We're

Navy HAS Hopes
FUNDS WON'T
stop

While the army has been brought
face to face with the no-pay problem,
the navy Is still on the anxious seat
and Is living ON the hope that the naval
appropriation bill viii be passed be-
fore the beginning of the new fiscal
year. Congress still has four days In
which to make good and officers here
are eagerly looking for good news.
The announcement of Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy Winthrop, that he
would lay OF 10000 navy yard cm-
ployes July / unless the appropriation
was made, printed In the Bulletin yes
terday afternoon, caused considerable
local interest and speculation. II Is
not probable that any Of the naval sta
ton employees will lose their jobs, but
they may have to whistle for their pay
checks for a while, and this is not a
pleasant prospect for anyone.
Most Of the work at Pearl llarbOr
is being paid for out of permanent an
preparations" said Admiral Cowles this
morning This means that the yard
, labor on sewers. roads ana other work
Is provided for. The office force
draughtsmen and inspectors, however
are paid out OF maintenance and are
dependent on the appropriation hill"
Provided that all the civilian cm'
ployes are willing to go right alonl

Valuable suggestions as to cleanup

You will recall that Acting Governor
Mott Smith up until comparatively
short period before the date was in

of a holiday on June 20 because he felt
that perhaps public sentiment did not
warrant the holiday
The members of the Kapahulu Inn
provement club were so earnestly de-
sirous of having the cleanup suggest
ed by your central organization that,
fearing the acting governor might not
see him wdy clear to making holiday
of June 20 for the purpose Of Clean

tage of Hawalis Kamehameha holi-

ting no holiday on June 20, which al

Hero of Spectacular
Flight #..

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J.--Thousands
were thrilled today when, watching
Melvin Vaniman make AN unexpected
flight In his huge dirigible balloon Ak
ron, they saw the great gas bag Hung
half over ON its side and nearly turn
turtle while more than five hundred
feet In the air. The balloon plunged
downward, rocking from side to side,
until its nose struck the water. Part
of the understructure of the dirigible
struck the water, as Vaniman righted
the balloon and pointed II upward
again II was u similar accident which
ended the flight that Vaniman under
took last November.
With Vaniman In the flight were his
younger brother, Calvin, who is chief
engineer: Fred Almas. assistant engin-
eer: George Bourillion, assistant navi-
gator; Whittier Guest, mechanic, and
Ralph Epson of Akron, o., one of the
constructors of the dirigible in which
Vaniman hopes to cross the Atlantic

Naniman had made no announcement
that he would test the dirigible, and
when he left his hangar there were
only few persons up and about. He
had scarcely scared aloft when the
news that he had flown was flashed
along the beach and thousands poured
out Of the hotels to jam the boardwalk
and beach. There was slight breeze
blowing, but this did not appear to
affect the evolutions OF the Akron. For
half an hour the thousands of specta-
| tors saw Vaniman circle over the city
and the meadows. Then he came bach
