CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
FAVORS HARBOR PLANS
(FrOm Saturdays Advertiser.)

(From Saturday IS Advertiser.)
Full approval of the plan of bulk
heading the wharves at the foot of
Fort street was recorded by the
trustees of the chamber of commerce
yesterday, when they adopted the spe-
cial report of a committee, endorsing
every feature of the plan.
The trend of opinion of the trustees
who spoke on the matter is that the
bulkhead plan will afford a much
larger space for freight storage, than
room is needed beyond everything else.
at is the most reasonable plan to
furnish the slipping companies with
the necessary accommodations for han
ding heavy cargoes that know off,"
was Mr.. Tenney's comment.
The bulkhead wharf plan, the ac-
QUESTION of the Allen g. Robinson
property and the lot of the federal
government, the extension of a gov
eminent owned fuel oil pipe to all the
wharves and the building of a railway
along the front were all specifically
approved in the special report adopted.
Regarding the railway line, however,
the committee said:
awe also approve of the construc-
tion of line of railroad ON the water
front, for freight purpose only, to con-
meet all wharves with the tracks of
the Oahu Railway and Land Company
and of the Honolulu Rapid Transit and
Land Company. This line should, at
all times, be under the complete con-
troll of the harbor commission, but we
do not believe that it would be wise
for the harbor commission to plan to
operate this line themselves, and that
it would be wise, from the standpoint
of economy, to have the switching done
by the respective railroad companies.
The harbor commission should have
complete control of the schedule of
traffic and make minimum charge to
the railroad companies for the use of
the tracks. We make this suggestion
as being in line with the general object
of the wharf plan, i. e., to provide
economical facilities to handle the
business of the waterfront"

KAIMUN CLIFF JEWELLERS WILL GET FREE
MAIL DELIVERY, If They WILL BEHAVE

In all probability Kaimuh will short
ly have free mail delivery service,
equal to the best. It surely will, in
deed, if Washington decides that way,
for the entire matter has been referred
with the necessary reports to the in
tangible horror known as departmental
headquarters.
Post Office Inspector Hare has been
working on the plans for the free de-
livery in the red hill district for some
time and stated yesterday that they
would soon be in Washington and up
to the authorities there. An attempt
to put this scheme through several
years ago failed owing to the reluct-
ance of the Kaimukites to comply with
the necessary requirements and their
general indifference. Inspector Hare,
however, has just completed another
tour of the district and reports an al
together changed sentiment.

sHAKEUP
IN TAX VALUATIONS

There will be a general shake-up in
the matter of tax valuations on the
Big Island as result of Treasurer
Conkling's visit there covering period
of two weeks. He returned yesterday
morning. The treasurer claims that his
estimate of an increase of $25,000,0 900
in the personal and property assess.
ments is a very conservative one, and
that he is ready to stand by his fig.
ures.
Nearly every plantation and mill ON
the Big Island were visited by the
treasurer. He says many firms have
made incomplete and inaccurate returns.
"See our lists of assets and liabili.
ties" is the way some of them have
written up their tax forms. The treas.
urer will jump on this sort of thing
with both feet.
On the big cattle and sheep ranches
many conferences took place and the
treasurer announces that an increase in
assessments as regards sheep and cats
tie has been received favorably by the,
ranchers.
Treasurer Conkling will preside over
a meeting Of the board of equalization
Monday morning. Tax assessors from
Maui, Hawaii, Kauai and Oahu will act
with the treasurer as the board. The,
whole tax question will be discussed.

PROTEST OVER THE
POOR MAIL SERVICE

Most explicit will be the protest of
the chamber of commerce to the post
master general over the discrimination
against Honolulu in the delivery of
mainland mails. The recent bungle
whereby one part of the mail was for
warded here on the Siberia and anoth-
er on the sIow-traveling transport
Thomas, will be cited as a glazing in
stance of the present defective system.
The secretary of the chamber was
directed by the trustees to take the
matter up Immediately with the post
Office department through its repre-
sentative, George Mex. Mcclellan, and
make a strong and suitable protest. In
the opinion of President spalding, the
Islands would suffer further if the com
mercial organizations allowed the re-
cent incident to pass without protest.
at is due to this community that we
receive all our mail by the earliest pos
sible means of transportation" said
Mr.. Spalding.

FREE SUGAR TALK
WILL BENEFIT
Public Attention Will Be Called
to Fact That Producers
Are Not the Trust.

That the present discussion of the
sugar question in congress is sure to
rebound in the end to the benefit of the
sugar industry, is the view taken by
some of the local observers of the polit-
ical game now going on. AS repeatedly
pointed out, the sins of the Sugar Trust
have made that trust so unpopular that
an attack on sugar is at present pop
ular cry. 1t is well, say some sugar
men, that the attack comes now, many
months before the election, so that there
will be time for the people all over the
country to learn that the free sugar
proposition, SO far from being hit at
the Sugar Trust is just what the trust
wants

ATTACK ON COMMISSION PLAN MAY
MEAN SHUTTING Off THE LOAN MONEY

That the creation of the loan fund
commissions on the various islands was
probably necessary in order to enable
the Territory to borrow money as it
did last year, was the view expressed
by Governor Frear yesterday, in com.
ment upon the report that the contro-
versy over the Hawaii county belt road
contract is part of a general attack
upon the loan fund commissions, with
view to having the loan money handled
by the county boards.
cit is doubtful whether the loan
which we were able to make would
have been approved in Washington,

of the money been left to the various

delivery it is necessary for the district
to have street lighting and sidewalks
and as Kaimuki is fairly well lighted
nothing remains to be done except the
sidewalks. Judging from official hints
that have been gently dropped those
favored with residence in Honolulu g
choicest ocean breeze suburb who have
not lived up to the general civic pride
that permeates it by coming through
with the requisite sidewalks, win be
eliminated from the mailman's route.
The plans of the department, it is
understood, include free delivery to both
Kaimuki and College Hills, both on the
same terms. This will mean the adj
dition of two carriers to the force. The
department viewed with disfavor at
first the necessity of employing so
many more carriers to the number of
people served than was the case in
mainland cities, but it is believed that
it is now competently informed as to
the different conditions existing here.

MONGOOSE COMES
INTO LIMEL|GHT
One Afflicted With Bubonic Found
in Hamakua-Pratt Back
From Dig Island.
(TrOm Sundays Advertiser.)

(From Sundays Advertiser.)
President Doctor Pratt of the board
of health returned yesterday by the s.
s. Kilauea from Hamakua via Hilo,
where he made an investigation owing
to the continuous and increased activ.
ity of the giddy endemic foci which
have been causing so much trouble. He
was accompanied into HamalSua by
Doctor Mccoy and Chief Inspector
Bowman.
The most interesting discovery made
by the investigators was that of a mon.
goose who was an unmistakable plague
patient.
Yes, this is the first time we have
ever found an infected mongoose,"
said Doctor Pratt to The Advertiser q
Hilo representative. "We knew from
laboratory tests that the mongoose could
take the infection, for we had success
fully inoculated several of them. This
is, however, the first time we have found
a mongoose with the infection, except
for these tests. As far as | know,
this is the first time such mongoose
has ever been found anywhere
No Great Menace.
Doctor Mccoy said that he had never
heard Of an infected mongoose having
been found. He could not say Just how
great was the significance Of the find.
1t was possible that the specimen in
question was merely an entirely spor-
adic case, and again, it might be pos
sible that the infection might become
fairly general among the mongoose.
There was, however, no danger Of it's
becoming such menace to the com
munity as the ground squirrel in
lection on the Coast had become. This
was due to the fact that the area in
fected would, even at its worst, be
much smaller here, and because the mon.
goose were comparatively few in num-
Der.
"The find may mean anything, and
we cannot draw any definite conclu-
sions," added Doctor Mccoy. "We
examined number of mongoose, and
this was the only infected one we found.
On the other hand, during the last few
days we examined over a thousand rats
and found only one infected one. Still,
we cannot base anything on such
counts.'
The physicians stated that they had
found the campaign in Hamakua work
| ing very we'll. Doctor Mccoy had
made few changes in the laboratory
| work, and Doctor Pratt had slightly
changed the field campaign. Now the
| only thing to do is to keep pegging
away at it, and to try to keep down
the number of rats to be the minimum
in order to minimize the danger of in
lection. 1t could hardly be expected
that the presence of the infection might
be entirely done away with, but by con-
slant vigilance, the effect therefrom
could be minimized,"

ARMY RIDERS FOR
OLYMPIC GAMES

NEW YORK, February 29.-For the
first time in Olympic games history
America will send team of expert
army horsemen to participate in the
military competitions at Stockholm this
summer. The men. according to Alfred
II. Curtis, of the Olympic Committee,
who made the announcement yesterday,
will be in charge of Captain of Ca
valry Guy V. Henry, and will leave on
board the Finland on June IA, together
with the squad of Olympic athletes.
The matter, it seems, has been con-
sidered for some time by prominent
army officials in Washington at the
suggestion of Colonel Robert NJ. Thomp-
son, president of the American Olympic
Committee, and has been meeting with
general favor. Selections for the team
will be made within the next month.
According to the rules of military
competition announced by the Olympic
officials at Stockholm, every country
is limited to ten entries-six in the in
dividual competition and four for team
honors. Entrants will be asked to take
part in five events, as follows: Long
distance ride, So kilometres (S4 miles) !;
cross country ride, kilometers; in.
dividual riding over steeplechase
course, prize jumping and prize riding.
1t is possible also that the navy,
which has many prominent fencers
among its officers, will send a number
of swordsmen along to compete with
the foils, sabre and duelling sword.
The matter is being discussed in navy
circles, but it is doubtful what decision
will be reached.

generally, expressed very great salts

sHER|FF's BLUNDER
DELAYS A DIVORCE
(From Saturdays Advertiser.)


Because of a mistake made by
deputy sheriff in California, in filling
out his return regarding the service
of summons in the divorce case of
Joseph A. Doyle against Mrs. Edna NJ.
Doyle, the papers were ordered sent
back to California by Judge w. l..
Whitney yesterday, and the case was
postponed until May /. The plaintiff
is a resident of Honolulu, and service
of the summons was ordered made in
California. The return came back duly
certified and sworn to, stating that the
libel had been served upon Mrs. Doyle
in Santa Rosa, Sonoma county, Cali
fornia, on February l.
AS the order for service of summons
was dated February Is, the record on
its face showed an impossibility. The
order setting the case for hearing was
set aside, and the whole matter post
poned until May l, by which time it
is supposed that the California officer
will file correct record.
Grand Jury Status.
The question of whether the present
territorial grand jury is legally con-
stituted or not will be argued in the

raised by Lorrin Andrews, counsel for
the defense, and reserved to the
supreme court by Circuit Court Judge
Robinson.

B0ATMEN ARE
MUCH PLEASED
Making Channel From Bay
Head to Atlantic City.
tF-om the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, Sept. 11:-That the
work of the Inland Waterway Com
mission in stalking the main chan
mel of the Inland Waterway from
Bay Head to Atlantic City is appre-
ciated by boatmen who use the
canal is shown by a resolution Just
adopted by the Bay Head Yacht Club
at its annual meeting. The mark
ing of the channel was done by the
commission under an appropriation
of the legislature.
The resolutions recite that the
channel marking has been most sat
isfactory and of great assistance to
all p~lersons using the waterway.
The club, after unanimously adopt
ing the resolution, directed Daniel
Whitney, its secretary, to notify
Harry A. Schneider, the inland wa
terway commissioner, of the action
taken. In a letter to Commissioner
Schneider, accompanying a copy of
the resolution, Secretary Whitney
writes:
1T is useless to state that the
resolutions were unanimous and that
they express the feelings and appre-
citation of all the members for your
untirtng interest in behalf of the
yachting fraternity on the inland
waterways.
