Y. w. c. A. Secretary Tells of
Work Done and Needs
of Honolulu

A large number of the teachers who
have come here this fall, and the old
Honolulu residents gathered at the
Parish House OF Central Union
Church yesterday afternoon in re-
Spouse to the invitation OF the Wo-
mans Society. @& S..
The large reception ropm of the
Parish House was a vc-itable bower
OF green pepper branches, while
large vases and jardinnieres. EFF pale
pink hibiscus and pink begonias were
tastefully arranged on the various
tables and stands. aa
The first part of the afternoon was
spent in conversation and the latter
Leresting program
The first number of the program
was vocal selection by Mrs. John
Erdman, who was accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. William Whitney. This
number was greatly enjoyed by the
audience and was followed by Miss
Esther Erickson, the Secretary of the
Y. w. G. A., whose talk was based
on the work done by the organiZa.
ton in cities other than Honolulu.
and on the work that Is done here
and that the officers hoped to do in
the near future. Miss Erickson told
of the different classes of women
with whom the Y W. C. A. has TO
deal. Their work is with the women
Of the world, not certain classes of
women. but all women. She also
spoke of the fourfold need of the
young woman and of the way in
which the Y. w. G. A. tries to fiji
that need. This fourfold need is the
social, physical intellectual and spir-
itual It is well known here that the
girls who would perhaps have no OPP
portunity to attend social functions
are given this opportunity at the
many informal affairs given at the
Homestead. The physical need will
perhaps be met more adequately next
year than IL has been for some time
past, for new physical director.
Miss Topper. has just arrived and
she is ready to do her part in that
department. In this department
there are the gymnasium classes, the
tennis courts, and sthe swimming
classes. and the young women of this
city can avail themselves of any Of
these forms OF exercise.
The classes Tor intellectual devel-
opment will be opened in the early
part OF next month and the girls who
wish 10 do so will have the opportun-
ity of studying Shakespeare and other
great writer's. Then the spiritual
side ~of this fourlfold need is filled
through the Bible classes.

came to the notice of officials when

PLAN BIG MILITARY
MEET IN WISCONSIN
Considered as Center of War
Maneuyers Next Summer.
WOULD USE SPARTA RANGE
War Department Will Ask Congress
for 100000 Appropriation to
Defray Expense of the Exercises
for Federal Troops.

Washington, D. C.-The state of
Wisconsin is to be the center of mill
tary activity in the middle west dur
ing the coming summer if the plans
of the war department meet with the
approval of the Legislators and the
appropriation necessary for the ma
neuvers outlined by the general staff
is made.
The plans of the department pro-
vide for a large maneuver camp at
Sparta, at which a number of regu-
lars, in conjunction with the national
guard of several states, will conjoint-
ly work out the problems of war and
go through the regular army drills.
The regular soldiers will be sent
from Forts Smelling and Sheridan
and the national guard will be made
up Of contingents from Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and other
adjoining states. To carry out the
plans, which provide for similar en-
campments in several other places in
the United States, an appropriation
of $1,3O0,000 will be necessary. If
1t goes through, several thousand
men, perhaps the greatest number
that has ever been collected within
the state of Wisconsin for military
exercises, will be gathered at Sparta.
The national board for the promo
ton Of rifle practice also has under
consideration the question of holding
the national matches of the current
year at Sparta. Whether it will be
selected depends entirely upon the
condition of the range, which will be
ascertained as soon as the snow is off
the ground

PROTECT AGAINST TYPHOID
Vaccination of All Members of Wis
consin National Guard Planned
for State Encampment.

Observation-Disclosures against ty-
phoid of the entire National guard of
Wisconsin when the companies go in
to encampment at Camp Douglas
next spring, with vaccine furnished
by the hygienic laboratory of the
University of Wisconsin, is being
planned.
The proposed cooperation between
the university and the National
guard arises from the success which
has attended the use of the vaccine
in the United States army, where it
has been made compulsory for every
officer and enlisted man under As to
be vaccinated against typhoid.
Since the first of December, when
the hygienic laboratory started the
distribution of the anti-typhoid vac
cine, over 200 vaccinations have been
sent out.

New Richmond.-Floyd Wright.
aged 80 years, son of Municipal,
Judge A. F. Wright of Cumberland,
escaped from the st. Croix County
asylum, near this city, and though
found two hours later, had persisted
from cold and exposure. An attend

asleep, apparently. When the attend
ant made his next round, at o'clock,
Wright was missing He had removed
his night clothes and jumped from a
second story window A diligent
search failed to locate him about the
asylum, and he was finally tracked
by drops Of blood in the snow and
found dead in field, some distance
away. He was entirely naked. He
was a graduate Of the Cumberland
High school, an exceptionally brill
liant and promising student, and was
studying for the ministry when his
health broke down and his mind
gave way under the strain of study.
1t is said that after leaving high
school he taught in country schools

that Wisconsin should make some
provision to assist the citizens Of
Black River Falls to have the river

money can be loaned Black River
Falls unless the legislature makes
the appropriation.
A meeting in the governors Office
at Madison will be held to decide the

DAIRY COWS ARE TOO FEW
Ex-Gov. Hoard Gives This as Reason
for High Butter Prices-Does
Not Blame Tax on Cleo.

Fort Atkinson.-The fact that the
"cow population has not increased
as fast as the human population" is
assigned as the cause for the present
high prices of butter by former Gov.
w. D. Hoard, editor of Hoard's
Dairyman, who has been one of the
foremost dairy advocates in the state
for years. Regarding the present
situation he says:
''In my opinion the cause of the
high price of butter is it's scarcity.
The COW population has not kept
pace with the human population.
Then, besides, a very large proper
ton of the milk over what it for
merly was, has been diverted to fam
lily consumption and condensing pur-
poses.
'The great milk shipping districts
no longer raise calves. They buy
their cows and in about two years
sell them for beef and buy again.
THE tax of 10 cents a pound on
artificially colored oleomargarine has
nothing to do with the high price of
butter, for the reason that about 95
per cent of oleomargarine is taxed
only One-fourth of a cent a pound,
because it is not artificially colored.
The talk of the tax increasing the
price of butter is a humbug. Once
let butter become plenty and down
Will come the price of butter and
oleomargarine.
But the oleo makers think they
can fool the consumer into opposition
to the law and thus work it's repeal

corporation of it's subsidiary railroads
in the Lake Erie, Lake Superior and
Birmingham districts is to be resumed
next week by the house "steel trust"
investigating committee.
Freight rates on ore and manufac-
tured products alleged to operate to
the disadvantage of competitors
against the corporation are to be IN
quired into exhaustively.
A witness before the committee
probably on Monday, will be Attorney
Louis D. Brandeis of Boston, who has
been making a study of railroad rate
problems, particularly the steel corpor-
atoms transportation trades and
methods.
Representative Stanley announced
yesterday before departing on short
trip to Kentucky, that Mr.. Brandels
had agreed to appear
Richard H. Gray, a San Francisco
iron and steel dealer, related trans
action whereby he was forced by the
Shelby Steel Tube company to default
on a government contract to re-equip
the Inflated gunboat Bennington,
which blew up in 1906, and to pay
more than $1,100 forfeit after part Of
the contract had been given to the
Shelby company.
He was cross-eXamined by Represen-
tative Gardner of Massachusetts. This
resulted in the production Of letter
to him from then Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf, showing that the de-
partment had declined to refund him
the forfeit money because of the dis
covery that he was a middleman and
had forfeited on his contract because
of carelessness in bidding without be-
ing assured he could procure the
necessary materials to carry out the
contract.
The witness charged the Shelby
company and other concerns with con-
spiracy against his business in 1906
and told how his business correspond
ence with big dealers, asking for
prices ON seamless tubes found it's
