BUSINESS LETTER
OF HENRY GLEWS

NEW YORK, February 24.-Henry
Clews, in his special financial letter
today, says in part: Operations on
the Stock Exchange were materially
interrupted by Intervention of the holt
days. Nevertheless a fairly steady
and somewhat more hopeful under
tone prevails in financial circles It
is becoming more generally recognized
that much of the activity in politics
is chiefly FOR effect, and that the
chances of positive radical legislation
are more remote than is generally
supposed The investigation mania
which is still rampant at Washington
is very disturbing, particularly as
there appears to be no limit to in
trusions upon privacy. But those sub
jected to investigation appear to be
becoming hardened to the process,
while the public is wearied and con-
fused with the mass of information
disclosed which they neither under
stand nor care very much about. APP
parently this phase of the war upon
capital must go on for some time to
come, or until it has exhausted itself.
1t seems to be a good asset for the
average politician who is incapable of
realizing the injury which he is in
flicting upon his constituency by keep
ing up the unsettled feeling in bust
ness, destroying initiative and dimin-
ishing the chances of employment
New Business Hampered.
Business would be better were it not
for political hindrances, yet in spite
of these the volume of business is not
falling much behind. The chief in
jury comes from an almost complete
arrest of new enterprises and a con

plianco with the war departments re-
quest, a bill to make this money ap
proprlated for cavalry available for in
fgntry barracks, an estimate was
transmitted to Congress requesting
that the authorization contained i'm
the sundry civil acts, TO which I have
referred, providing accommodations
for two squadrons of cavalry on the is
land of Oahu, be amended and chang.
ed so as to permit the construction of
accommodations for a full regiment of
cavalry on that island In his com
munication the Secretary calls atten.
ton to the fact that the Quartermaster
general states that in view Of existing
conditions in Hawaii the interests of
the service demand that the post To-
Gated at the Schofeld Barracks reser-
walton be completed "as expeditiously
as possible" Though the department
mad had the appropriation for more
than two years, no step was taken to
use it to build this cavalry post, so
urgently required, until it was found
that Congress would not follow the
department in its luctuating and I'M
stable policy.

O'BRIEN
BOBS UP AGAIN

Three vags got theirs in the police
court this morning They were Joe
Rice, Dennis O'Brien and Sam Kalani.
Each was sentenced to five days On
the reef.
They were rounded up by Chief of
Detectives McDuffie in a shed in a
local lumber yard.
The community had hoped that,
judging from his unusually long alb
sence from the police court, Dennis
O'Brien had shipped away. He bobbed
up serenely this morning, however,
with the same old twinkle in his eye
and the same old iauntiness in his
carriage.
Durugoff, drunk, was fined SO and
costs.
NJ Costa, who stole $50 from his
brother-in-law, was sent to Jail for
four months.

THE COMMERCIAL
BUILDING SCHEME

The Joint building committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce, Merchants
Association, Commercial Club and
Honolulu Stock Exchange made a re.
port through its secretary to the Mer.
chants Association at the meeting OF
the latter body held yesterday after
noon. The report told of the meet
ing of the committee held last Satur.
day morning for the purpose of con
sidering the matter of a site for the
proposed building. AS reported in
the Star ON Saturday, the committee
had considered the matter of securing
the Honolulu Hale property of 7415
square feet, for the purpose The
Territory had offered to put the prop.
erty up at auction on a guarantee OF
.$4.75 per square foot.
The committee evidently prefers
the Bishop Estate lot opposite the
Young Hotel, which it is understood
the estate will consider for the pur.
pose, provided it can be assured of at
least 6 per cent return on its invest
ment.
Owing to the small number present
at the meeting, the reported stated
no action had been taken by the com.
mittee, and the matter will come up al
some future time.

WAR DEPARTMENT
Continued from page one)

not TO exceed 100000 for the estab.
lishment OF a cavalry post for what is
known as Camp Schofeld in the Ha-
waiian Islands The authorization was
made i'm response to unanimous de-
mand upon the committee on appro-
priatiOns by the general staff as to
the imperative necessity for cavalry
accommodation in the Hawaiian Is
lands. The appropriation was made
because it was believed to be imper-
atively needed for the public defense,
and it was made available speedily
because of the pressing necessity for
the accommodations. Under date Of
May 8. 1911. the secretary of war for
warded communication to me re-
questing that the money appropriated
for the establishment of cavalry bar
racks on the Island of Oahu be modi-
fled so as to permit the purchase of
additional land in the city of Honolulu
and the erection of barracks thereon
to accommodate three regiments of in
fantry. The statement was made that
the cavalry was so much more needed
at that time on our Mexican border
and could be so much more economi.
cally maintained in the United States
than in the Hawaiian Islands that it
was not deemed desirable to send cav
airy at that time to Honolulu, but that
1t was desired that the money be made
available for infantry barracks.
The Senate, on the 10th day of May
last, passed an act in compliance with
this request of the war department
to make available the money for in
fantry barracks rather than cavalry
barracks. AS the result of a notifica-
ton sent by me to the war department
it's policy again was changed. Under
date of February, 1912, an estimate
was submitted to Congress in connec-
ton with the matter. The communi-
cation which l sent to the secretary
of war, under date of May A, is as
follows; -,
Committee on Appropriations,
House of Representatives,
Washington, d. c., May 4, 1911.
Hon. Jacob Meg. Dickinson, Secretary
of War, Washington, d. c.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the Sd in
slant, with ENCLOSURES, relative to leg
islation to permit the use of appro,
priations heretofore made for the ac.
commodaation of cavalry in Hawaii,
for the accommodation of infantry in
| the city of Honolulu, is at hand.
1t is the policy of the House and OF
this committee not to enter upon the
consideration of general legislative
matters during this session. Unless
there be some matter of imperative
necessity, consideration will be de
ferred until the next regular session
of congress.
The suggestions contained in your
letter indicate very marked change
from the grounds heretofore taken as
to the necessity of cavalry accommo
dations on the Island of Oahu, and
would probably necessitate careful and
exhaustive investigation by the com
mittee before any action would be
taken.
