consists in picking up fallen fruit,
plucking infected fruit and treating
these in such a way as to destroy the
maggots. Professor Severin's expert
ments would indicate that, as long as
there are fruit flies breeding in the
fruit in the mountains and as
long as there is wind from the
mountains and flies travel with
it. clean culture is of little avail in
checking the devastations of the pest.
The entomologist, who has been
breeding the fruit flies in jars, liber-
ated a number of them under a
tent made of cheesecloth, put
them in small phials and Sc
lected at different times about
1000 male flies. These flies he marked
by cutting off leg, handling them in
such a fashion that the wings were
not injured. With some he ampu-
tated front leg, with others a mid.
die leg, and with others a hind leg.
Armed with fifty kerosene traps he
and his assistant proceeded to a large
taro patch in Manoa, walled in by
mountains on all sides opening only
toward the sea, and strung his
traps up in trees in COM
plete circle around the patch. The
first flies that he liberated shot to-
ward Honolulu with the northeast
wind, SO he moved the traps to the
leeward side of the taro patch, ar
ranged them in a semi-circle about a
mile from the mountain and liberated
the flies. Over a period of a week
he let 1000 of his marked male
flies go, and during and since that
time he has been moving the traps
farther and farther toward the
city away from the points where
the fiies were released. Up to

MAUNA KEA NOT
BADLY DAMAGED

The accident to the Mauna Kea On
the marine railway this morning, as
reported on the shipping page, is not
nearly so serious, according to the
statement of Inter-Island officials, as
it is reported throughout the city, nor
so bad as it looks from the water
front, The Mauna Kea, after sliding
down the railway and shooting across
to quarantine island, did not knock a
hole in her bottom, as is generally
supposed, but opened the seacocks
and let in quite a good deal of water
Aside from the water damage, the
Inter-Island people claim that the
steamer is intact and will be pumped
dry and floated free Of the mud banks

M'CANDLESS DENIES LOCAL
DEMOCRACY FAVORS FREE SUGAR

L. L. McCandless, who is bidding
for the Democratic support of his can
didacy for delegate to Congress this
fall, seemed very much alive this
morning when asked about the state
ment given out by the Advertiser this
morning to the effect that his political
boom was dead.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Advertiser had him dead, buried and
on his way to realms beyond, the per
severing candidate managed to rouse
himself from his grave sufficiently to
denounce Interpretations made by
some people in the papers" to qualify
the Advertisers statement regarding
II. j. Ryan's stand on the free sugar
question as being absolutely wrong,
and to declare that the Democratic
party was for Hawaii first, last and
for all time.
In an interview given to the Star,
Mr.. McCandless outlined the stand OF
the Democratic party and its attitude
toward industries in Hawaii and tariff
revision.
His full statement is as follows:
"In its report of the meeting Of the
Democratic central committee last
night, the Advertiser quotes that T.

Joseph Cooke Makes
Statement Regarding
Harmony Situation

There was a rumor on the street to-
day that the anti-Frear men, who are
laying their plans to capture the con-
yention, were trying to find a way to
get away from their Taft obligation
Joseph P. Cooke was asked about it..
He had heard it, too, and said

"The members of the Taft Repub-
lican League are endeavoring to get
the Taft men in each precinct to
make an organized effort to send Taft
delegates to the April convention.
When l say Taft Republicans l mean
men who are working to support Taft
first, last and all the time, have
learned that some so-called TAFT men,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-09

who desire to go to the Chicago con-
vention, will consider that they have
done their duty if they support Taft
on their first ballot This is not the
Interpretation that the Taft League
gives to the words instructed delega-
ton We interpret it to mean that
the instructed delegates should work
and vote for President Taft as long as
his name is before the convention, and
if our delegates are in the majority in
the local convention, the delegates to
Chicago will be so instructed"
Some Kinney History.
There was but little talk about the
Kinney argument which Kuhio had
said was that of a hired attorney and

which was recognized also as Demo

change of McBryde land with the Ter
ritory and many unbiased people be-
lieve that Kinney got the long end of
the deal. 1t was the only One 1 ever

There will be a meeting of the har-

are a few bulkhead wharves, but they
are very few in number. Plans of the

laid on the table this afternoon, and
the whole matter will be threshed out

PROFESSOR SEVERN BELITTLES
CLEAN CULTURE METHOD OF
ERADICATING FRUIT FLY

Professor Henry SEVERN of the Col
lege of Hawaii, assisted by William J.
Hartung, a senior in the college, has
been conducting a series of expert
ments to determine the migratory
tendencies of the fruit fly. The tests
which he has been conducting since
February 81 demonstrate in a prac-
tical fashion that the fruit fly travels
with the wind, over distances exceed
ing a mile, and comes down from the
mountains into the low country about
the city of Honolulu. Clean culture

J. Ryan came out for free sugar, That
statement is absolutely wrong. What
Ryan brought out was this;
"The Democratic national platform
of 1908, which was adopted by the
Territorial convention in 1908 and also
1910, has this to say: We favor i'm
mediate revision Of tariff by reduction
of import duties. Articles entering
into competition with trust controlled
products should be placed upon the
free list.
'Mr Ryan brought out that by hay
ing an earlier convention or by adopt
ing a platform before the national
convention meets, if it should have a
clause in it favoring free sugar, the
Democratic platform in Hawaii could
be so drafted at the present time that
we would not be tied down to free
sugar.
And, in doing this, the Democrats
in Hawaii could go honestly before
the people with a platform not pledged
to free sugar.
THAT was Mr.. Ryans argument.
And ! also for myself am not in favor
of free sugar or otherwise taking of
the tariff on Hawaii products.

There were over 200 and each basket contained chicken, dressed and ready for baking; cranherries, celery, fruits, vegetables and everything necessary for a Christmas feast.

NEAR XMAS TRAGEDY.

Camden, Ark, Dec 25.-The first Christmas casualty occurred m this city late Christmas eye, when a negro named Lon Jones shot and probably fatally wounded his sister, Anna, Hampstead. The trouble came up ov- CT some trifling dispute. Jones was under the influence of liquor, but was suffic ently sober to realize the na- ture of his act, immediately after he had done it. He made his escape be- fore the officers could reach the scene of the crime.
 The woman was wounded in the light side of the abdomen. The bullet penetrated into the abdominal cavity. Physicians state that she will prob- ably die.
 Officers are on the trail of Jones, and expect to land him behind the bars before the end of the week. He Jeff this city on a freight tra Il, it is thought, and officers in all neighbor- ing cities has been notified to be on the lookout for him.
