HAWAIIANS AT
WORK AGAINST
BLOW AT SUGAR

COMMITTEE platform favorable. Low
rey pressing fight floor convention.
Probable result favorable to Hawaii" !"
This cablegram from the Hawaiian
delegation at Baltimore was received
last night by local business man and
indicates that the Democrats sent from
Hawaii are making a strong and sim
cere effort to prevent the Democratic
platform from containing free sugar
plank.
y The cablegram above also means
that the platform committee is favor
able to the cutting out of the free
sugar plank, but that Lowrey is car
rying the fight to the convention floor.
Lowrey is the secretary of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company and the
man who figured prominently in both
the House and Senate committees that
considered the free-sugar bill and the
entire sugar question. 1t was Lowrey
who opened offices in Washington and
launched the National Grocers' Associ-
alton, which pretended to be an asso-
citation of wholesale grocers asking for
the repeal of the sugar tariff and for
free sugar.
Under the keen inquiry of the Sem
ate committee. it was admitted by,
Lowrey that he himself was the Ma
tionaI Grocers' Association, that he
alone was. doing the work, sending out
the literature and. in fact. masquerad-
ing as an organization. In fact. Low
rey's work was nothing more than a
bold attack on the sugar tariff.
Now LDwrey appears as delegate
at the national Democratic convention
and continues his fight on the sugar
tariff
The Star Bulletin published the news
yesterday afternoon that the platform
as it then stood, almost ready for pres
entation to the convention, did not
have a free sugar plank. Lowrey's
aim from last nights cablegram was
to make free sugar convention issue.
This morning much communication
was heard for the action of the Ha-
waii delegation in standing against
free sugar.

By that that she has come to grief,

gone astray, and be somewhere to lee

gone farther south than she intended

could be so far distanced.

IS Expressed for Her
Safety


Where is the yawl Nattose! More
than two days have elapsed since the
winner of the transpacific rice cross
ed the finish line at Diamond Head.
and yachtsmen, especially those who
came down on the racers, are aeking
the question with lifted eyebrows, and
a ring OF concern in their voices.
II the Canadian entry isn't sighted by
tonight, anxiety will be felt for her
safety, and probably some measures
will be taken to send her assistance
should she me in distress.
1t Is not so much the elapsed time
since the start of the race that causes
the speculation, for sailing vessels
might be out twenty days or more on
the voyage across without occasion
ing comment. But the Nattose show
ed quite turn of speed at the start,
working so well that those who took
part in the race can hardly believe
that she has been left so far behind
except under extraordinary conditions
The prevailing belief is that she is
of her course, and that through faul
ty navigation or faulty instruments
she has missed the mark entirely.

SHORT RATIONS
FOR U. S. Army

The army will get subsistence, but
viii there be enough to 60 round? In
the light of cable received by Cap
tain d. B. Case, depot commissary,
yesterday, this seems to be a vital
question.
The cable gave Instructions for the
purchase of supplies under the Joint
resolution of congress, appropriating
money for the immediate needs of
the army, until regular appropria-
tion bill can be agreed on. The ex-
penditures, however. must be based
on the sums expended during the last
fiscal year, and the commissary's
cable reads that sIn no case must
they exceed one-tweffth of 1912 dis
hursements. Stores which can not
be provided out of these funds must
be purchased according to order. .
During last year, however, the army
of Oahu was increased by one full
regiment of Infantry. and two bat
teries of Field Artillery, and the av-
erage months subsistence is not
enough to cover present requirements.
ss..sis is the situation that must be
faced.

WILSON, TEACHER-POLITICIAN.
Woodrow Wilson, nominated today
by the Democratic National Conyen-
ton to- run against President Taft, is
fifty-five years old. He was born In
Staunton, Va. Dec 2S, 1856, and grad
uated from Princeton in 1879 His
career is easily divided into two
parts. Until a comparatively few
years ago he confined his energies al
most exclusively to the field Of teach
ing and writing, although for q brief
period following his graduation from
the Virginia law school he practiced
his profession. Always a student OF
political economics, he became prom
inent as an advanced political thinker
during his presidency Of Princeton,
and left the presidency to campaign
for the New Jersey GovefnorsiIl1 IN
this campaign lhe was silgularly sue
cessful, and his able constructive poll
icies while Governor attracted Nation
al attention to him. He took the field
as an avowed holder of progressive
Democratic ideas and with Champ
Clark divided almost equally the hon.
ors of the preference primaries. He
went into the convention strong
candidate. and after Clark's full
strength was polled and failed to land
the nomination, the Wilsonites gained
strength with each ballot. The forty
sixth won him the nomination.
The Democratic candidate is mar
ried and has several children. His
home is at Princeton, N. j.

Melvin W. Vaniman, whose tragic
end is reported by cable, was well
known in Honolulu, for it was here he
worked out an inyention whereby he
made his fortune. He came here with
an opera company about a dozen years
ago and became interested in photog-
raphy with William C. King. In his
experimenting he invented a panoramic
camera that proved the best ever
known.
When the bark Moflican arrived a
partial wreck and was placed in rotten
row, Vaniman rugged up his camera
upon one of her masts. From this ad-
vantageous point he made photographs
of Honolulu and of the harbor with
it's shipping which are among the most
valued assets Of the Hawaii Promo
tion Committee. A panorama of Ho-
nolulu showing the entire waterfront
and the city's background of noun
tains is a treasure that would be hard
to duplicate.
Vanimanf took his camera to New
Zealand. where he interested the Unions
Steamship Company of that country
In its potency for advertising, alsosto
London, where the British steamship
companies fell easily to his enterprise.
In fact, he went round the world with
his apparatus. winning triumphs with
it at various large centers, until he
had acquired good sized fortune that
served him with the sinews of war for
his attempts~at the. conquest of the air
which have at last done for him.
He left here eight or ten years ago,
since when his career has been watch
ed with interest by the press and peo-
pie of Hawaii According to j. j..

with whom he was naturally inti-
mate. vaniman woilds be about As
