MONEY TO Be DIVIDED THERE
American Organization Calls on Local
People to aid in Getting Money to
Take Care of People Suffering as
Result of War Against the Turks.

An appeal is being made to Kenosha
people to secure funds for the carry
ing on OF the work of the Red Cross
in the war in the Balkans. e is ex
pected that many contributions to the
fund will be made by Kenosha people
directly interested in the war. The
following is the appeal as sent out
from New York offices Of the Red
Gross Society:
The war that has devastated the
Balkan Peninsula has brought in its
wake untold suffering. Constantinople
has become the centre of dire misery
unknown in our day. The battles Of
a million men have brought there the
wounded Of nine weeks of conflict A
quarter Of a million refugees have been
swept in from wide territory, in
Guiding a great multitude Of women
and children Cholera, typhus, famine
and cold have come, with tens of
thousands of victims. individuals Of
all faiths and Of all the races of the
Ottoman Empire are in this utmost
need The Red Crescent represents in
that Empire the same noble philan-
thropy as the Red Cross, with which
it is internationally associated
The Red Cross, with international
impartiality, divides it's aid between
five belligerents. The Red Crescent
is the channel for the relief extended
by all those in Constantinople able to
work and to give. All classes Of So
ciety from the highest to the lowest
are nobly cooperating to assuage this
misery to the measure Of their power.
But it is evident that these resources
will be insufficient to cope with the
demand that has SO suddenly come.
Even though active hostilities seem to
be at an end it must be remembered
that the misery and want that follow
in the wake of war are often more
severe and trying than they are dur
ing actual hostilities.
This appalling need exists in land
where more has been expended for ed
ucation through contributions from
America than from any other country.
Six American colleges and a great null.
titude of schools representing every
element of our population are TO be
found throughout the Ottoman Empire,
The work of widespread education for
Turkey in peace should now be sup
plemented in war oy special contribu-
ton in this moment of extreme human
suffering.
The undersigned committee issues
this appeal for aid, knowing well the
generosity with which the American
people has always responded to the
needs of stricken humanity. Subscrip-
tions are earnestly requested to the
American Constan 5inop1e Relief
Fund All will be applied to aid
the work for the sick and needy in
Constantinople and vicinity by tae
Red Crescent and the Red Cross, Meth
er of which makes any distinction as
to religion, race or nationality. Con-
tributions in answer to this appeal,
which should be designated as such.

SUGAR BOOM
TOPIC OF HOUR

The investing public is just begin
ming to awaken to the fact that the
local stock market is experiencing a
real boom. Some brokers refuse to
call the present era of strong and
advancing prices in prices and sales,
a boom; but that is because they diff.
ferentiate in the term. 1t is true that
prices can not be considered inflated.
but the prices of all stocks are high
er than they have been for months,
and the demand is heavier than for
a very long time,
"The sugar stocks are worth the
present prices" declared one broker
this morning. The boom is in every
way warranted, and the only surprise
to us is that the public has taken
several months to find it out. The
physical condition of the plantations
has probably never been so favorable
as today. Prices of sugar are high
and going higher. In January when
ordinarily sugar is lowest, the price
has been advancing. What combina-
ton could better warrant good prices
for Hawaiian stocks?"
Another broker believes that the
announcement of the Democratic po-
icy to cut the sugar tariff to one cent
per pound for all grades, has been a
benefit to the markets. I'VE know
where we stand" is the way he ex.
plains it. with a lot of people in
this Territory, Democracy is synony-
nous with free trade, and while there
was a possibility that a Democratic
might cut all the tariff off,
now that their program is outlined
we know the worst to expect in case
they are able to carry their point.
We don't believe that they will be
able to do anything of the kind, and
this belief that the tariff will not be
touched at this session, is growing
so strong that investors are gaining
every day. Prices are war
ranted by conditions. The prospect
of a very heavy crop, combined with
high prices for the year, certainly
makes shares valuable"

TEXAS LOOMS
UP FOR SUGAR

SAN BENITO, Tex, January IL
While the sugar cane crop in the up
per gulf coast region of Texas suffer.
ed heavy damages by the freeze late
in November, the unharvested cane in
the lower Rio Grande valley escaped
with comparatively little injury.
The losses, however, to the crop Iii
the upper part of the cahe-growing
territory of Texas, from which section
planters in the lower Rio Grande val
ley had expected to obtain suitable
quantities of the product for planting
purposes, will materially reduce the
contemplated increase of acreage. In
one respect it is expected that the
losses to planters outside of the val
ley region will be of benefit to the in
dustry around here, as it will attract
growers to this latitude, which is be-
low ordinary danger of damage from
early freezes.
The transportation problem, which
heretofore handicapped the work OF
getting the cane to the mills in a con
siderable portion of the valley, has
been partly solved this year by the
construction of the San Benito and
Rio Grande Railway Company's sys.
TEN of interurban lines that run out
of this place in different directions. 1t
is claimed that this new system OF
transportation has materially reduced
the cost of haulage, thereby resulting
in an additional profit for the grower
1t is claimed that in no other sugar
growing district in the world is there
greater prospects for the development
of the industry than in this valley.

A CARTOONIST
WITH THE BOYS

All the possible whimsicalities oi
juvenile taste in art we're humored
last night at the Kakaako Boys Club
when Ben Mendoza patiently sketched
everybody from George Washington t.
McDufiie upon request, and even
dipped into allegory and landscape.
Mr.. Herman Hertz, who recently or.
ganized the club and has been direct
ing its activities through short but
flourishing career, secured Mendoza S
services for the evening to entertain
the boys, and the program was so ar
ranged that the cartoonist drew
everything as his audience demanded.
When George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln had been portrayed in
many attitudes, the artist was earn
estly requested to draw a picture of
Chief of Detectives McDuhie chasing
a Manchu.' When the revolutionary
hunger had been appeased there was
still further demand for historical por-
traiture and then, when it came to the
last picture of the evening, a univer-
sal cry for a picture of a cowboy kill
ing an Indian was raised, and the
chalk drawing of this subject was
watched breathlessly and roundly APP
plauded.

LAST BLOCK

The last block of lots in the Ocean

Kaimuki Land Company for $4,000
cash, to NJ A. Moore, a California in.
weston. The Star reported yesterday
that this block CNo. 100 was being
negotiated for by a hui of officers of
the fleet. 1t is understated that these
same gentlemen are still considering
investments in the KaimuH district.
All real estate men in the city re-
port business as excellent The de-
mand for property is strong and stead
lily increasing. The increase of popu-
lation, and the general belief in the
rapid future development of Honolulu
is the basis of this activity of the
realty market While a good deal Of
buying just now seems to be of a
speculative character a larger num-
Der Of residences are being built than
probably ever before at this season
of the year, and most of them are
intended as homes TO- the owners.

HONOLULU AID
CLUB FORMED

Newspaper publishers, advertising
agents and prominent merchants met
in the private dining-room of the Com
mercial Club yesterday at noon for the
purpose of forming the Honolulu AID
Club. j. Chas. Green of San Fran
cisco, second vice president of the Ad
vertising Association of that city, was
requested by the Associated Advertis.
ing Clubs of America to form a club
in Honolulu to be affiliated with the
ad clubs of over 300 cities on the
mainland, and it was largely through
his efforts that the Honolulu AID Club
Vas formed. In recognition of this
service Mr.. Green was made an hon
oTary member of the Honolulu AL
Club.
The purpose of the ad club is TO
keep buyers and sellers of advertis-
ing space in closer touch with the lat
est ideas in advertising, to provide a
medium through which advertising
men and advertisers may assist each
other by the exchange of ideas to pro
duce better and more profitable work,
to correct any abuses that may crop
up and to bring up to the full meas
ure of usefulness advertising in all its
forms.
The educational work is such as
will eventually standardize advertis-
ing and, as result of research,
analysis and systematizing of the prin-
ciples and factors adduced, will make
for distinct advancement in the ad.
vertising science. Everyone cooper
ating in this good work will be direct
ly or Indirectly repaid to a great ex-
tent.
The club will meet at the lunch
hour every Thursday and at the next
meeting ]. L. Stack, the prominent
Eastern advertising expert will be in
vited to address the club.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were as follows:
w. r. Harrington of the Evening
Bulletin, president; Chas. S. Crane,
manager of the Pacific Commercial
Advertiser, first vice president; Rich
ard H. Trent, Trent Trust Co., second

the seat of power in the Industrial
world which it has heretofore held
against all corners. This will mean
an enormous increase in the demand
for the products of petroleum, for the
cheapness of construction and the
economy of space which it affords will
enable it to supplant all other motor
machines.
Tesla has two gas turbines now APP
preaching completion, which are to be
sent to Europe. The gas turbine is
identical with the steam turbine, the
gasoline being exploded in a separate
combustion chamberfi and it's heat re-
duced by a spray of steam or water
when the jet is introduced at great
velocity into the turbine. The same
machine may be used as a pump and
an air compressor. A nickel-plated
model in Teslas office that one could
carry comfortably in his overcoat
pocket pumps forty gallons a minute
against a head of nine feet With a
pump having disks eighteen inches in
diameter the inventor declares that he
can deliver $500 gallons per minute
against a head of 300 feet.
The new engine can be put to multi
tudinous uses on land and sea, and
the time may not be far distant when
automobile manufacturers will be an
nouncing new models with turbine
motors.
The darkest hour is just before the
dawn, and the dawn is fast approach
ing for the renewed and lasting pros
perity of the petroleum producing bus
mess.

NICOLA TESLA
HELPS OUT OIL

Oil men will be interested in the of
fetal announcement that Nicola Tesla
has invented a turbine motor to be
operated by gas. This invention will
revolutionize the turbine industry, for
the invention, which can be used with
steam also, is based upon principles
entirely novel, the most noticeable
factor being simplicity. His turbine
of 200 horsepower is eighteen inches
in diameter and measures only three
and a half inches across the face.
This wonderful invention is thus de
scribed in the Technical World Maya
zine for February:
ION a base which raises it few
inches above the floor is an object
shaped like a cheese, actually no big
ger than a derby hat of average size.
Within the black casing is a rotor
made up of steel disks nine and three
quarter inches in diameter and meas
uring but two inches across the face.
Yet this insignificant black cheese
makes so kilowatt generator hump
itself. Actually it is capable of devel-
oping 10 horsepower. 1t has to be
geared down, for it is too swift for
any generator that was ever built.
This turbine runs at 10000 revolutions
per minute"
So compact is this newest of tur-
bines that one developing $4,000
horsepower would occupy only about
one-tenth of the space required for the
Curtis turbines of like power. There
are no buckets or valves in the new
turbine. The working parts consist
of smooth disks of steel only one
thirty-second of an inch in thickness
mounted about seven sixty-fourths Of
an inch apart upon a shaft. His 300
horsepower turbine completely equip
ped stands on a base twenty by thirty
five inches, and measures only five
feet from the floor to the top of the
throttle valve.
Gas being much cheaper and safer
than steam, the fact that this marvel
GUS engine can be operated with gas
is fraught with much Importance to
the oil industry, for on a very short
time steam will be dethroned from

.OLAA THE STAR
PERFORMER TODAY

Olaa was the star performer on the
Exchange this morning From 6.75
shares arose to 1875, and at close
there was a large demand for the
stock at 7.25 with no takers.
Olaa seems to have developed solely
on its own emrits. A gentleman
very closely associated with the affairs
of the Olaa Sugar Company stated
this morning that the investing public
seems just awakening to the fact that
this plantation has a big future before
it, and that after a long hard fight it
is approaching the time when it will
be a dividend paying property. Brok-
ers claim to see nothing sensational
or unwarranted in the advance of this
stock.
Waia1ua continued to advance
strongly today, closing strong at 1877
fiat. 1t is rumored that the earnings
of this plantation last year were in
the neighborhood of "a percent, and
that belief in this rumor, together
with the prospect of an even better
year just beginning, explains the pop
ularity of the stock.
1t is known that the juice at Waia-
lua mill is running at a much higher
average of quality than it did last
year. Therefore, with a somewhat re-
duced acreage of cane, the crop is eX-
pected to exceed that of last year
Moreover, Waialua has a goodly sur
plus in it's treasury and the prospect
of a special dividend, sometime dur
ing the season, is cherished by invest
ors.
McBryde was back on the board to-
day $50 shares selling in two blocks
at 1857.
Pioneer has advanced one dollar,
81 shares selling at 250, with 249 bid
at close and $50 asked.
Onomea is also feeling the general
advance, and 70 shares were reported
sold between boards at 81 fiat, an
of $50.
In all there were reported 81 separ-
ate sales today, of which % comprised
Olaa shares, and 16 Waialua
