Coming Events of National Interest

The year 1913 will be a busy one
for the colored people of Pennsylvania.
An effort is now being successfully car
ried on in the interest of the fiftieth
anniversary celebration of the emanci-
patton of the slaves. which is to be
held in Philadelphia. The fourteenth
annual meeting Of the National Negro
Business league will also be held in
Philadelphia in August. These two ma
tional events. together with the local
and state affairs of public nature will
engage the attention and best efforts of
our people for the next twelve months.

most complete and up-to-date ton

of service in this line Of work speak
louder than anything we might say In
his behalf. Everything sanitary. Call

HOW THE NEW YEAR WAS BORN
IN THREE MAINLAND CITIES

NEW YORK, December 31-The
border line between 1911 and 1912 was
marked here with more midnight
church services than have been held
on a New Years eve for many years,
but prayers and hymns were almost
drowned with a bedlam of noise in the
streets. 1t was a rainy night, follow
ing an early morning snow and the
streets We're slushy, but through them
great crowds moved, footing horns,
changing cowbells and cranking all
sorts Of noise-making devices.
There was falling off in the down.
town crowds, where hotels and restau.
rants are scarce, but from Fourteenth
street north for two or three miles,
Broadway was stream of humanity
with tributaries pouring in from all
the side streets.
Difficulty in obtaining all-night Ii.
censes was overcome by the adoption
of the plan of ordering drinks in ad.
vance for delivery during hours not
covered by license.

bling temples and a nasty taste in it's

fire which drove thirty persons clad
only in night attire to the icy streets,
much wreckage and debris in hotels

ever held without malice aforethought
in any city in the world. It was typ.
ically American, typically Western,
typically San Franciscan. 1t made
even the natives sit up and take no.
tice, and the strangers who came to
see it--and they came from as far as
Vancouver, b. c.; from way back East
and from distant Witnessed
something they will never forget 1t
was New Years eve on the streets Of
San Francisco.
1t is on the streets, when people
have thrown aside the cares of bust
ness and are out for a wholesome good
time, that the great, pulsing heart of
city is seen. And last night San
Francisco wore its heart upon its
sleeve for all the world to see and
understand.
In practically all the large cities of
the country where "the lid" was not
clamped close down, there were street
celebrations last night. San Francisco
does not take it to itself that it held
the only celebration. But those who
know believe that in no city in the
United States-yes IN the world
could such a mighty horde gather
along two miles of a street like Mar
ket, battle to exhaustion with noise
and confetti jostle, jam and struggle
for a foothold and at no single time
show symptoms of aught but the ut
most CHEEKY good nature. But then
what city in any country boasts a
thoroughfare like Market, and what
city in the world holds so many happy
people?

STRONG PLEA
FOR FREE TOLLS

WASHINGTON, December 81
Representative Knowland, who re
turned today, with other members of |
the House Interstate and Foreign |
Commerce Committee, from the Pan
anna zone declared that no question |
of greater import to the Pacific coast
than that of canal tolls has been be-
fore Congress in years.
I'VE must stand ready to fight for
free tolls for American shipping, or a
rate low enough to enable US to com
pete with transcontinental railroads.
Otherwise the canal will prove of no
commercial advantage to California
and the Pacific coast" he said. Il
favor free tolls for American ships
engaged in the coastwise trade upon
the theory that we are entering upon
new and unwise policy when we
impose a charge upon shipping enter
ing an American waterway. If We

upon ships entering the Mississippi
river, where the government has ex-
pended millions for improvements?
Il would go farther If possible and
make the tolls free for American
ships engaged in foreign trade where
they must compete with SUBSIDIZED
lines, whose ships cost less and the
cost of operating is much lower"
Representative Knowland said that
his opinion favoring free tolls Tor
American shipping was strengthened
by his trip to Panama. He believes
the committee will report out at this
session a bill providing for the oper.
alton and maintenance of the canal
He regards the government of the
canal zone the maintenance of com
missary and the tolls as the most per
picking problem to be solved. He
like most of the members of the com
mittee, favors canal zone govern
ment under the supervision of on,
man, directly responsible to the Presi
dent.

NEW HAVEN Conn, December 81,
According to a statement made
here tonight by Or. Jay w. Seaver,
for many years director and now as
sistant director of the Yale gymna-
stun, the percentage of tobacco users
among the honor men at Yale is small,
while among those who do not receive
honor grade the percentage is ten
times as high.
DR.. Seayer has started the organi'
cation here in this city of branch OF
the Non-Smokers Protective League
of America on the ground that smok
ing is growing to an alarming extent
among young men and women. He
scored the habit of smoking in public

The first multiple count week, in

predicted several days ago there have
been some notable changes in the
standing of the small army of con-
testants. Almost every worker gain

during the Four Count Week just
closed, but of course some gained more
than others, and for every upward
notch gained, some other candidate
for the splendid prizes, dropped back
in like degree.
Immense Totals.
Some of the totals secured by con-
testants during the past week have
been very large, Notwithstanding that
the regular schedule way multiplied
by four for the week Miss Arnold,
the indefatigable worker, who has led
the contest from the start, gained no
less than 3S6,357 votes during the
week, which is almost three times as
many as any other candidate secured
In making this great score, there
is nothing to be found in it except
hard work. One 16-months subscrip
ton to the daily Star is the largest
single count Miss Arnold secured; but
her methods were of the most system
attic and business like character. She
even spent several days during the
week in canvasing Eva, Waipahu, and
other places outside Of Honolulu. The
closest scrutiny of Miss Arnold's score
fails to reveal single vote gained
through her own intelligent effort
But there were some other bis
gains. Miss Leilani Weight, of Wal

fifth in the list, with new votes mum

In the shadow of the Togo monu-

twenty-third of February, will be Gel

at which some five hundred members
of the Hands Around the Pacific Club
will sit down. There will be repre-

others from the many islands. The
/ Sons of the American Revolution and

Hands Around banquet the Chinese
and the Japanese met the haoles at

AUTHORITATIVE WORD REGARDING
OCEANIC COMPANYS NEW DEAL

SAN FRANCISCO, December 29.-
Not only will the Oceanic Steam
ship Company re.establsh the line of
steamers between the Golden Gate
and Australia, but, through that line,
will actively engage in competition
with the lines operating through the
Suez canal to Liverpool and will es-
tablish a quicker trip by way of San
Francisco, New York and thence by
the fast express steamships across
the Atlantic to England That was
the announcement made by Freder-
ick S. Samuels of the Oceanic com
pany, who arrived here yesterday aft
ernoon from Washington, d. c., where
he had series of conferences with
/ President Taft, Postmaster General
Hitchcock and Solicitor General Leh-
mann.
The mail subsidy, to be granted IN
der the act of Congress of March g,
1891, Samuels believes his company
will secure just as soon as steam is
put into the Ventura and Sonoma,
now undergoing extensive repairs at
the Union Iron Works, where they
are being converted into oil burners.
BY the use of oil as fuel instead OF
coal, the cost of maintenance of the
ships will be greatly cut down, and,
with the subsidy, the company, Sam
uels believes, will be in position to
compete with the other transpacific
lines now handling the trade.
In Commission in April.
"The Sonoma and Ventura will be
placed in commission within the next
three or four months, probably in
April" said Frederick S. Samuels
soon after his arrival here yesterday
Later there will probably be another
ship added to the line. Probably the
Sierra will be placed upon the Aus
tralian run, with the two ships now
being overhauled, The vessels will
run to Sydney, md will make the stoI
at Page Page, at the naval station
there. The mail subsidy will make
it necessary that a call be made
there.

ing it possible to deliver mail owe
that route within thirty days, equal

ton of this line of steamships we e.

can give no reason for the increase
except that it is because when prep
school men and others come here as
freshmen they see the men in the up
per classes smoking and feel that in
order to be a good fellow they must
smoke, too, so they acquire the
habit"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-10

In my conference with President
Taft, Postmaster General Hitchcock
and the Solicitor General there was
spirit shown that indicated the adj
ministration is doing everything pos
sible to restore American commerce
upon the Pacific. Bids will be asked
for the carrying of the mail, and un-
der the act of March 3, 1891. the gov
eminent can grant a subsidy of 50
mile to American vessels carrying
mail. 1t only remains for the post
master general to advertise for the
bids, and that he has given assurance
he will do.
Taft Is a Booster.
President Taft seems to take a
tremendous interest in the upbuilding
of the commercial relations on the
Pacific. In fact, President Taft seems
to be an enthusiastic California
booster. He is taking the greatest
interest in the development of Califor-
Panama-Pacific International Exposi-
ton. He expressed to me his appre-
citation of his cordial reception by the
people of this state and anything
within reason that is asked of the adj
ADMINISTRATION by the people of Califor-
mia l am confident will be granted if
it is within the power of the Presi-
dent to do so.
"The re-establishment of this line
is assured. and when we get steam II
in the ships that have been lying idle
for some years, l have no doubt the
mail subsidy will be given u.s."
English steamships of the Union
line, the American terminus of which
is Vancouver. B. c., at present carry
the mails between the Pacific coast
and Australia. A bitter fight is looked
forward to by shipping men generally
when the Oceanic line replaces the
two big carriers now being over
udulSu, anu duBlltllIo JhClh WIN thS

been announced, contemplates putting
