DEMOCRATS AND MONEY TRUST.

WHAT is this story from Washington to the
w effect that the Democratic leaders are not TO
permit an investigation of the "so-called money
trust?"
They have been inquiring into almost everything
with the hope of securing campaign material, but
they are disposed to ignore the money trust or to
make only pop-gun inquiry which will amount TO
little or nothing. Had merely muck raker called
attention TO the alleged trust his statements might
have been silently ignored but the subject was put
up TO Congress by Mr.. Samuel Untermyer, a noted
New York corporation lawyer who is presumed TO
know what he is talking about
1t also thought that the Democratic leaders
would eagerly seize the opportunity to lift the
I'D from the doings Of big business but alas! the
mention of the money trust" has caused a wide
division, and suspicion that the Democrats would
like to avoid any inquiry.
Representative Lindenberg, a Republican from
Minnesota, originally presented the resolution call
ing for an inquiry and everything was moving
along swimmingly until the conservative Demo-
cratic Congressman concluded that it would be
best to check the proposed investigation.
Mr. Lindenberg declares that the scheme of the
Democratic leaders is to scatter the investigation
among several standing committees which will
make il ineffective and futile. And the Minnesota
congressman is so cruel as to intimate, more than
intimate, that the money trust control of the
sources from which campaign contributions are
drawn may have something to do with the Demo-
cratic balk.
Evidently the Democratic conservatives are not
going to hit the money trust in the head-they are
confning their blows at present to Governor Will
son.
MUST SUSTAIN THE NAVY.
TT is not likely that the Democratic program in
Washington to limit to a small figure the
amount to be spent for increasing the strength Of
our navy will be received with approval by the
country.
Under present conditions with other great ma
uons OF the world constantly improving their I'M
plements of warfare, whether we like it or not.
we shall have to keep pace with them. 1t IS un.
safe to have the naval program of the nation sub
Jected to the whims of political party that may
be for the moment in power. Much better would il
be to have a certain and definite program which
will not permit the deterioration of our naval
forces. Governments must look to the future and
be prepared for years TO come.
Plans for universal peace and arbitration are still
shsenc. We are moving in the direction of srbi

Troopers Now Have Half a
, Horse Apiece and No More
Available for Year -

+ -Cavalrymen on Oahu will have to
buy. bicycle or roller skates for them
selves if they wish to hold to the dis
tinction of being mounted" troops
For at present in the Fifth Cavalry
there is about one-half horse per
man, with small prospect of this ridi'
culous situation .bettering in the i'm
mediate future.
Plenty of recruits but no remounts
is responsible for present conditions,
until now each troop of seventy odd
men averages about thirty-five horses.
This meansz that half the men drill
while the other half sit on the fence
and cheer them on, figuratively speak
ing. If the men do their full share OF
drill, it stands to reason that the
mounts will have to do double duty,
and this is out of the question, as ev-
cry horse is now beng cared for like
a Derby winner for fear that some
thing will happen to it. Altogether
the horseless cavalry attached to the
payless army is in a bad fix.
This morning a letter from the
uuartermaster general of the army
was received at department headquar-
ters. The missive fairly exuded
gloom, the sum substance of it's news
being that there were no horses in the
remount depots, no money to buy
more, no time to train more if they
could be bought, and that "only horses
that are absolutely unserviceable for
any purpose be condemned during the
fiscal year 1913.
This opens up a vista of possible
complications. Apparently unless q
horse rolls over and dies he is to be
retained on duty, and it may become
necessary for the trooper to get down
and politely assist the fractional horse
allotted to him over rough spots If
the proportion is further reduced to-,
say four men to a mount, the horses
will probably not be ridden at all, but
will be kept as barracks pets. One
can picture the last surviving horse
of the gallant Fifth, decked out with
leis and made the official mascot Of
the regiment, to be saluted with as
much respect as the colors.,
Army officers here say that the
present situation points strongly to
the necessity of having remount de-
pot here, and purchasing Island
horses for the army, as recommended
by the, department commander after
the conditions had been carefully gone
into by the depot quartermaster. This

ment horses bought and trained

tation. This would save time, and al
sure the Cavalry and Field Artiller,
of enough horses to keep the organi
cations going. Z
Requisitions for remounts have
been flowing out of this department
in steady stream for months, and tc
date the only attention paid to then
has been an inquiry as to whether the
organizations could wait until the DC
tober trip of the Dix. Z
Dix Bringing Fifty. \
The horseboat Dixsfs expected eth
er this afternoon or tomorrow morning
from Seattle, but as the quartermas
ter at Schofield has received an in
voice for 49 horses and Is mules pei
that ship, it doesn't look as though
the consignment would make much
difference in the general situation. Al
Schofield they are also shy Of mules
and wagons, and there is not hall
enough transportation for the organi
cations to take the field even under
the most limited conditions of actual
warfare.
Following is the remount situation
as set forth in the letter from Quar-
termaster General Aleshire:
During the fiscal year 1912 issues
of horses were made, in many cases,
in excess of the ten percentum allow
ance authorized. Due to this fact, and
the further fact that this department
was called on to remount two regi-
ments of cavalry returned from the
philippines, the remount depots have
been practically depleted of horses
suitable for issue at this time, and 1t
may not be possible to make issues
from remount depots in, every case
when filling requisitions for horses
during the fiscal year 1913.
The amount available for purchase
Of horses, as provided in the vetoed
bill making provision for the support
of the army during fiscal year 1913,
is $225 200. which is only sufficient to
purchase approximately one years al
lowance of remounts. 1t will theRe-
fore be necessary to enforce the pro
visions of G. o. 1873, w. D. 1910, in
every case; and to avoid the use of
remounts before the time fixed for
their training, approximately one year.

DETECTIVE TAKES
ALLEN TO COAST.
TOFACE CHARGES

Assured by a cable from Attorney
General Wickersham that the eX-
pense may be incurred, U. S. Mar
shal Hendry today turned over Claude
w. Allen to the custody of Detective
John Kellett and guard, and the
prisoner left this afternoon on the
Sonoma for San Francisco.
Allen declines to discuss the charge
on which he is being returned to Los
Angeles, further than to admit that
he has been in the employ Of gro
Gerry firm in that city for several
months. In proof of his innocence,
however, he pleads the fact that he
came to Honolulu instead of jumping
out of the country to somej1and with
which the government has no extra
6ition treaty, as he says he could
easily have done. He says he had
engaged a berth on the Sonoma a
Week ago, and had intended return
ing to the Coast this trip.
Allen is a former newspaper man,
and says the principal reason for his
present trip to the Territory was to
gather local color" for a novel he
is engaged in writing. He, says he
has not been engaged in active news
paper work for two years, since he
left the Kansas City Star. but has
written some fiction at various times
when not engaged at his business in
the grocery store. In proof of his
assertion this morning he produced
some stray leaves from a magazine,
published at Los Angeles, on which
is printed a woodland story entitled
