MCCARTHY TRIBE
CONTINUED from Page one.)

thy meeting were climbing the stairs
to the second floor of the Waverley
building, Link was planted at the en-
trance to the doorway across the
street to waylay those who had broken
with him and attempt to lead them
back into the path that he hopes may
take him to Washington
Some of those on their way to at
tend the Mccarthy confab were but
ton-holed by Link, who whispered
passionate words into their unwilling
ears.
1t is evident that McCandless does
not intend to surrender his leadership
of the Democratic party without a
struggle, as was shown yesterday by
his sarcastic letter to Mccarthy in
reply to the latter's announcement of
the withdrawal of his support from
Link and the declaration of his own
candidacy.
McCarthy's supporters state that
they are receiving assurances of sup

gets the nomination, as he will, he

THE STATUS OF
:. PORTS IS CHANGING

TIL Bureau of Statistics of the De-
pal tment of Commerce and Labor has
just issued some interesting figures
showing the changes in Importance
OF various American ports as shipping
centers. In this connection the To-
mort says:
The growing disposition of com
merce to seek its destination by
shortest routes and easiest grades is
illustrated by the increasing share Of
the American exports which were
shipped through Gulf and northern
border ports last year. The value of
exports passing through Gulf ports
Of the United States in the calendar
year 1911 was S443.OOO,OOO, an in
crease of Ga per cent over the total
for 1900; that of the shipments pass
ing through northern-border ports
$29S,000,0OO, an advance of 1874 per
cent; while the outward trade of At
lantic. ports increased but 20 per cent
in the same period.
'''lhe share of the total exports
which passed out at Atlantic ports
fell from IS per cent in 1880 to 6S per
cent IN 1900 and SIS per cent in 1911,
While the share of the Gulf ports in
reased from IA per cent in 1880 to is

Popular curiosity has been aroused
by the exhibit of sisal which has been
placed on view in the windows of the
Public Service Association by the Ha-
waiian Fiber Company.
According to w. c. Weldon, treas
urer of the Hawaiian Fiber Company,
it is just being found out what can
be done with sisal-the Hawaiian
fiber. Primarily intended for bind
ing Irvine, it was learned that it
could be used for many other things,
among these being lariats, hatbands
and mattresses" said Mr., Weldon to
a Star reporter.
"The use of the fiber for bed mat
tresses and rugs is considered by the
officials of the company to be a most
important one, especially as all the
waste fiber can be utilized in the max
ing of the mattresses"
Mr.. Weldon declares that he sleeps
on a sisal mattress himself and that
there was never a cooler or more com.

per cent in 1900 and % per cent IN
1911 AID through northern-border
ports from Az per cent in 1880 to
per cent in 1900 and IA per cent in
1911. Through Pacific ports there has
been little change, the share for each
period being about 8 per cent.
Even on the import side the share
of the commerce passing through At
lantic ports is materially less than in
earlier years, being but rs per cent
in .911 against 80 per cent in 1900.
In imports New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, New Orleans and San Fran
cisco had the largest totals, but these
ports ranked first, sixth, seventh,
third, and eleventh as to exports

SUGAR BILL BLOW
At BEET INDUSTRY

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 1.-The
answer of the beet sugar manufact-
urers Of America to the plan OF tariff
revision proposed by the Democratic
revenue bill which would abolish the
tariff on sugar entirely, is contained
in a statement made today before
conference of beet sugar manufactur
ers by c. c. Hamlin, chairman of the
executive committee of the United
States beet sugar industry, when he
declared that the defeat of this bill
will mean the investment during the
next five years of at least S25,00O,O00
in new factories in all parts Of the
country, with an added expenditure of
$25,OOO,OOO a year in payments to
farmers WHO raise sugar beets for
these factories
If the tariff is cut the beet sugar
men will be obliged to abandon all
attempts to extend the industry, and
the farmers who now sell sugar beets
as one Of their most profitable crops
will be forced to accept cut prices or
stop beet raising.
IF the tariff is cut said Hamlin,
"the farmers who raise sugar beets
will be the most immediate sufferers.
The retention of the present duty will
mean the investment Of millions in
new factories.
Beet sugar is now produced in SIX
teen states and, were it not for tariff
uncertainties, the industry would be
extended rapidly l know at least OF
half a dozen factories that would be
built at once were stable conditions
established for the next few years.
I THE people generally are wholly
ignorant of the sources Of these at
tacks. The agitation is wholly in
spired by the New York retiners and
importers of foreign raw sugar, who
see their business menaced by the
connection of beet sugar-the inter
ests usually known as the 'sugal
trust
Every refner who testified before
the Hardwick committee, and practl
cally all the refners on the Eastern
| seaboard did testify, expressed them
selves in favor of free sugar, or,
; least, drastic cut in the presen
| duty. and all testified that their rea
son for desiring the removal or re
duction of duty was that the bee
sugar industry was menacing the me
nopoly which they once enjoyed.
I'm other words, the sugar trus
wants the tariff removed to throtu
the rival beet sugar industry
I'VE are now producing about 600
600 tons of beet sugar a year Wer
2 the industry permitted to grow, TN
: amount would be doubled within
/ reasonable time and the consumer
t would receive the benefit. In ada

plant and far outclasses the best Yu-
catan white fiber.
"The market is low at the present
time" continued Mr.. Weldon, but
there is an upward tendency and the
sisal growers are beginning to feel en-
couraged. We are constantly finding
new uses for the fiber and with the
efficiency of our plant are able to send
the baled fiber on its way to the Coast
eight hours after the leaves have been
cut.
THE exhibit in the windows of the
Public Service Association was made
on our own lands. It shows every
thing from the raw fiber to the manu-
featured product. There are % thir-
ty pounds of the raw fiber, CO. Go

A shipment of two carloads of the
baled fiber is going to the Coast in

Portable mattress manufactured.
In connection with this new branch
Of the industry, the corporation ex-
poets to open a new market. Although
at first the manufacture of chair-seats,
rugs and mattresses out of the sisal
fiber was nothing more than an ex-
pertinent, it has been proved CON
clusively to the satisfaction of the
company that this branch of the in
dustry will prove to be not the least
important by any means.
At the present time, a mill to be
devoted to the manufacture of the
products and by-products of sisal is
being installed on the Hoalae lands
and within a month will be in full
operation.
The present and parent factory is
located on the plantation at Sisal, be.
yond Eva mill, where about ninety
employees are kept busy. At the pres
ent time, there are nearly 1900 acres
planted in sisal by the Hawaiian Fiber
Company According to Mr. Weldon

When the storm broke over the Island, at 2:30, several cars full of people turned back from the foot of Seaview avenue without ven- turing across the bridRe, and those who were upon the Island made quick ly for indoor concessions, such as the Casino Theatre, the ball room, or the canopied stands of the Frank w. Rob- bins Wild West There was 1ull in the incoming attendance until the storm partially cleared but from o'clock steadily until 10 last night car after car brought a capacity load, six boats running from the Henry St. dock and the Sea Breeze dock brought more. and automobiles galore kept running into the Island throughout the evening.
 The Casino Theatre opened success fully with four excellent vaudeville attractions, and a capital motion pie ture bill. The vaudeville bill is head ed by Alvora, billed as 'sThe Dancing Mystery This is a graceful display of terpsichorean features, enhanced by Q bewildering display of gowns and pear in mirthful black face travesty. The Seabury Duo perform excellent roller skate stunts and sprinkle their stunts with merriment. Stella Strat- ford, a dainty singing comedienne. completes the vaudeville bill.
 The Frank w. Robbins Wild West displays at the foot of the main boulevard. It is all the name would imply. including feats of broncho busting, Indian village, stage coach hold up sharp shooting, 1ariat throw ing and the other usual accompani- ments of a genuine Wild West per formance. Real frontiersmen and real Indians make the reproductions of stirring frontier scenes highly effec- tive.
 The Wheeler & Wilson band, engag- ed for the week for concerts after noon and evening". played them under cover. contributing programs Of char acteristic excellence.
 Promptly at g o'clock the explosion of a powerful bomb heralded the fire work display. One of the finest ex- hibitions of the sort given on the Island was then witnessed by several thousand people who lined the board walk from the ball room to the bath ing houses and filled the roadway in front of the walk.
 "Tickled to death!' said William L; Gallagher. the general manager of the new enterprise today when asked what he thought of the opening day "Just say for me that I hadn't the courage to expect anything like it. in view of the weather. I'm more than even convinced that Sea Breeze Isl and and success mean one and the same thing"

CHICAGO CLUB SNUB FOR MRS. MCCORMICK
DAUGHTER OF JOHN D. ROOKIE TELLER MADE ENEMIES BY
 ANTI-LIQUOR CAM

Chicago, May 31-Mrs. Harold Mo- Cormick, daughter of John D. Rocke- fel1er, has been snubbed by the fash ionable Saddle and Cycle Club. ehe has been excluded for the first time in years from the list of eight society leaders who will welcome the guests at the formal opening of the club on Saturday afternoon. In her place Mrs. Marshall Field will head the re- ceiving line.
 Mrs Mccormick has not even been chosen for a position of any promi- hence in the clubs social program.
 The snub to Mrs. Mccormick grows out of her criticism of the use of li quor in clubs. She has expressed herself very plainly about the use of liquors in clubs where both men and women are members, saying:
 "I do not exclude the Saddle and Cycle Club, of which I am a member. If I had my way there would be no public drinking on the part of women. I do not approve of 1t at all. In a private home it is not so bad. I would not say that anything actually improper has been indulged in at any |. of the club dances andsparties, but I think few of the conventionalities have been forgotten"
 Mrs. Mccormick is on record as say ing that she was not in sympathy with prohibition hospital, since alcO- hol on a doctors prescription. was, she thought not only permissible, but necessary. But at the request of her father, she has never permitted liquor to be served in her home. Occasion ally she may take a light wine with her dinner, when she is dining else where.
 "There isn't any reason why Mrs. Mccormick should be on that recep tion committee, is there?' asked Der tram M Winston, president of the club, with a show of anger in his voice. t'There are 500 members and they choose whom they wish of their leaders at such social functions. l don't see why. if they didn't choose Mrs. Mccormick, there should be any comment whatever upon the sub ject."
 Edward S. Adams. John S. Tunnels. Orville E. Babcock. all club officers, denied that any improprieties were ever noticed at the club parties. They admit that Mrs. Mccormick is not now one of the leading lights of the club, or she would be standing at the head, or at least second in line to Mrs. Mar shall Field.

and Brewster argue they seem to gain no headway. As the former takes his leave he asks Mrs. Jeffries if she is coming, but saying she wishes to talk with MT. Brewster, and asking him to call for her in an hour, remains be- hind. 'I must see this girl MT. Brewster" she says when they are alone. II think I can persuade her to change her course of action"
 Brewster thinks he had better see Annie first, and advises Mrs. Jeffries to come back in half an hour. Then he sends for Annie. Jones, who is much impressed with the young lady, goes on his mission with grin When Annie comes in Brewster invites her to be seated, and then she asks how long she intends keeping up her sys- tenn of warfare, persisting in forcing her way into his office. "I didn't force my way in,' she answers. I didn't expect to come in-Mr. Jones said you wanted to see me- Step by step Annie gains ground in spite of BreWster's arguments; she tells him that he and Towards father are set ting, the whole world against the boy because they refuse to act. He tells her she is almost as obstinate as her father-inlaw, and declares that he does not defend criminal cases That's just why she wants him then-How- ard is not a criminal.
