LOCAL SOCIALISTS
FORM BRANCH OF
NATIONAL PARTY

A branch of the National Socialist
Party was organized in Honolulu by
local Socialists Friday evening. Twen
ty persons were present at the meeting
and Miss Louise Gulick presided. Sew
eral short talks were made by several
present and it was opinion that a
branch should be organized. Through
the efforts of j. Rosenstein in creating
interest in the movement the meeting
was held.
The election of officers was the only
business transacted. This resulted as
follows: IL. q. Holt, secretary; G. NJ.
Allbrecht, treasurer; J. Rosenstein, lit
erature agent; j. Whittle, organizer; r.
j. Baker, auditor.
The only work to be undertaken by
the members for the present will be an
educational campaigp<to interest people
in the principles of the Socialist move
ment and to secure new members for
the new organization.
One of the members stated yesterday
that it is probable that the branch
organization will put Socialist ticket
in the field at the coming election but
that no part will be taken in politics
now until large membership is OBJ
tanned so that a good showing may be
made. Literature will be circulated
among the people by the members and
there will be talks by members from
time to time but no attempts will be
made to have lecturers come here from
the mainland at the present time
Socialist literature was offered for sale
on the street Saturday evening for the
first time. Meetings will be held every
week and the members expect TO secure
hall for regular meeting place soon
1t has been less than one year since
the old Socialist organization was dis
banded on account of 30 many Of the
members leaving the city to reside else

OFFICIAL ROBS
JOKE OF STING
MiIverton Takes Short Cut to
Avoid Veto of the Armory
Appropriation.
tFrom Sundays Advertiser.3

Rather than allow the supervisors to
have the laugh on him, Deputy City
Attorney Milverton yesterday made a
short cut to head off the prospective
veto of Mayor Fern on the armory APP
preparation item of $4,000. The depu-
ty city attorney told the supervisors
that they had no right in law to appro
pirate any amount for the purposes
specified, and any appropriation so
passed would be invalid. The board
postponed action until Tuesday.
1t was Deputy County Attorney Mil
verton who drafted the resolution for
Supervisor Murray, appropriating the
$4,000. Mr.. Murray was one of the
hackers of the measure and introduced
it. When Mr.. Milverton found that
the county fathers had no authority to
turn $4,000 over to the Territory for
the armory, he decided that to have
the mayor veto the measure upon the
basis of facts he had CLEANED would
turn the laugh on himself and he had
the clerk read the opinion in advance
of any action.
The supervisors found themselves in
the air, and a motion was presented to
table the bill. This met with tie
vote. Amana, who voted against tab
ling said that he was surprised to hear
such an opinion, and said that he had
only learned of the decision of the
county attorney during the forenoon
He was not quite sure everything was
lust as the county attorney had stated
and asked the board to authorize the
clerk to furnish him with copy of th'
opinion that he might thoroughly in
vestigate it along lines proposed by
himself
Mr.. Milverton stated that the pow
ers of the board are limited and it,
actions are controlled absolutely by en-
actments of the legislature. The board
is empowered TO appropriate money fo
the establishment of hospitals, aims
houses, iails, prisons, fire and police de
partments, the care of schools and I
number of specified municipal bHreau
only.

LOCAL POLICE FEAR
WHITE SLAVE TRADERS
PLAN TRAFFIC HERE

Local police, both territorial and fed
eral, are puzzled over reports arriving
here from San Francisco stating that
two girls were taken off the Sonoma by
the police of that city on the SUPPOSE
tion that they were being shipped to
Honolulu by white slavers. So far in
the history of the police annals here no
deliberate white shaving has come to
the authorities attention and it is fear.
ed that the reports indicate an attempt
to start it.
The recent arrest of Norman Smith
for completely with white shaving lends
color to the superstition but it is net
believed that this was part of any of
his operations, if he Is guilty of any.
The girls taken off the Sonoma were
seventeen and nineteen years of age re.

from Portland, who declared that the
two were intoxicated in hotel Ia Eddy

Relief Train Workers
Find JeWeIry and
Cash Stolen
Engineer Runs BY His
Signal Lights in
Dense Fog

CHICAGO, Illinois, July 15-Thir-
teen are dead and twenty-fi five are seri-
ously injured as the result of an acct
dent on the Burlington last night. Some
Of the injured are likely TO die from
the injuries they received.
According to dispatches from the
scene of the wreck ghouls robbed the
bodies of the dead and injured before
the relief train reached the spot. The
most hideous stories are told by survi-
vors of the wreck.
It was shortly before midnight when
the Overland to Denver was struck by
a fast mail coming from the other di-
rection. The night was misty and the
dense fog settled down upon the tracks
so thick that the engineer of the
Overland was unable to see the lights
of the block signals. He discovered
this too late and was pulling back
when he was struck by the mail train.
The engine of the Overland was up
set and hurled from the rails. Several
of the heavy steel sleepers of the train
were also derailed and overturned. The
mail train s locomotive was badly dam
aged.
The relief train crew discovered that
fiends had been robbing the bodies OF
the dead. In almost all cases it was
found that cash and iewelry known tc
have been in the possession of the vic
Tins had been taken. The amount
stolen is said to have been large. As
yet the police have no clue to the
ghouls.
Among the dead was Mrs. E. G. P
Holeman, grand daughter of JOIN
Weiland, a wealthy brewer of Sal
Francisco.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 15.-
The marathon has been run and won,
and the winner is a long, lanlSy Trans
vaal police officer no one had noticed,
no one had even dreamed would have
chance at the coveted trophy. His
name is X. X. Macarthur and it was
the first time in his life that he had
ever run the marathon against others
in race. His time was two hours and
thirty six minutes. He tainted as he
crossed the line.
The honors of the race fell in
strange places. Macarthur, South Afri-
ca, won, and G.. w. Gitshaw, another
South African, was second, while Gas
ton Strobipo of South Paterson, New
Jersey, was third. Twelve Americans
entered the contest, the greatest of the
famous Olympic games, and ten OF
them finished.
1t was a game race from start to fin

their own way, and the race during the
last three miles was between Macarthur

finish went wild, cheering him on, yell

winner and his close following rival.
As he finished, the tall form of the
winner toppled slowly forward but was
caught and supported ere it reached
the ground. When he came to him
self, which he did within few sec

who was waiting for the opportunity,
stepped forward and asked to have the
honor of shaking his hand. Macarthur
scrambled to his feet and shook hands

HAWAII IS LARGE
BUYER OF BOOZE

A Coast liquor paper for the month
of May, just received in Honolulu,
shows that the value of alcoholic liq-
uor imported from San Francisco to the
Hawaiian Islands is 45 per cent of the
total value of all liquors shipped from
that port TO all other points with the
exclusion of New York. The shipments
to Hawaii during that month were as
follows: Wine, 67,640 gallons, 1914;
whisky, 5742 gallons, 1851; brandy,
200 gallons, $615; beer 246 packages,
$1,000; total value, $46,972.
The amount of wine sent to Hawaii
is sixty-seven times more than the
amount sent to the Philippines and six
times more than the total amount sent
to all the ports of South America com.
bined. The shipments of alcohol sent
to the Islands, has diminished greatly
since the making of compounds was
forbidden here but large amount still
comes monthly.
