SHORT CIRCUITS
CAUSED BY KITE

A couple OF days ago Immediately
above the Nuuanu stream the wires
that run to various police boxes were
short circuited by the tail of a large
kite becoming entangled with them.
AS the wind blew it twirled the kite
around and around until the whole of
the wires were bound up. Some ac-
ton had to be taken, as the boxes
were thrown almost out of use, Gusts
of wind short circuited the instru-
ments, and it could never be told
when they were in commission.
A lineman went along this morning
and with a painters lamp succeeded
in burning the tail of the kite away
from the, wires, He threw rope over
the wires, and running the lamp up,
worked the rope in such way that he
burned the rags, paper and Irvine
clean away. The rest was easy, the
fragments that could not be burned
being see-sawed off the wires by the
rapid manipulation of the rope.

INF ORTED DRIED
FISH WAS BAD

4 Food Commissioner Blanchard said
this morning that the consignment of
dried fish condemned yesterday was
in a fearful condition. The fish was
all right when first imported, but it
was kept so long in storage that il
became rotten. 1t was full of worms
and had a bad odor. In all about two
tons of the stuff was condemned.
The commissioner also stated that
the tests of milk are showing that the
milk supply of the city is remarkably
good. Each dairy is being visited, and
samples of milk straight from the
COWS are being tested,
The shipments Of colored isinglass
coming in from time to time have
caused much trouble owing to the
presence Of prohibited coal tar dyes.
The importation of that kind of ism
glass is fallaing off to nothing nova
days.

HAWAIIAN CIGARS.

Mr. Daniels, who is now in the East

Although Mr. Daniels has refused tc
sell the crop which was shipped tc
New York, at the first price offered
he feels confident that the merits OF
the product will win for it high
place in the cigar trade of the coun
try. Orders for many thousands Of
cigars have been secured by Mr.. Dan

pany will soon be turning out larg,

EXAMINATIONS UP
TO SUPERVISORS

All of the eighteen examination pa
pers of the candidates for positions on
the board of health inspectors staff,
we're examined by three of the four
examiners yesterday The fourth mem.
Der of the examining committee, DR..
Moore, was unable to be present at
the time that the papers were gone
through He, however, this morning,
looks 'over the answers to the
questions and in the main agreed with
the credits given by the rest of the
examining board.
The final result of the examination
will be communicated in a letter to
the board of supervisors, and then the
men selected for appointment will be
notified.
1t Is understood that although the
board of supervisors have written to
the effect that they will appoint any
five men they like who have obtained
as high as, or over seventy-five per
cent of credits, there will be some
strenuous objections to any such
course being taken. Efficiency is
what the president of the board OF
health is after, and he means to obtain
it irrespective of politics. The mer
to be appointed are paid by the
county.

BOX CARS MORE PLENTIFUL
Increase in Surplus All Over
Country This Week.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Improved weather conditions, as was
anticipated at the time of the depleted
car supplies a few weeks ago, have be-
gun to show their effect on the sur
plus and shortage of freight equipment
reported from the United States and
Canada. In the bulletin issued today
by the American Railway association
bringing data down to March q, not
only is there a further increase in the
number of idle cars but also a turn
in the shortages reported, which, up to
the time of the last report, had shown
a steady advance.
In comparison with the preceding
period there is an increase in surplus
of 1854 cars, of which III are box
and 1856 are coal cars. The increase
in boxcars is principally in New Eng
land, Iowa, Illinois. Wisconsin, Min
nesota and the Dakotas, while the
advance in coal car surplus is general
EXCEPT in a few of the eastern and
few of the far western states.
The total shortage reported, 1894
cars, is a decrease of 9,011 from the fig
ure of two weeks ago. OF this 6,1l6
are box and $3.50 are coal cars, while
there is an increase in miscellaneous
cars of 712. The decrease in boxcar
shortage is general except in New
ENGLAND. Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and
western Pennsylvania, where there are
slight increases. The falling off in coal
Gar shortage is principally in New
york. New Jersey Delaware, Maryland
FennsvIvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan. the Nirginias and the Carolinas.
Compared with the corresponding
dates of 1911 the differences in both
surpluses and shortages are striking

cars short compared with 1894 TINS

year TINS amounts to 143 535 cars, of
which 1855 are box and 1887 are
coal cars. The increase in shortage
amounts to 1884 cars, of which ls,OZs

New York, April 9.-Sometimes the
announcement that offerings of new
securities BY underwriting syndicates
have been very largely oversubscribed
is found by later experience to have
been an overstatement. 1t reflected
some skill in advertising; it was based
upon the presumption that the public
is always anxious in financial matters
to go where the crowd goes. There have
been instances of announcement of
oversubscription for underwrit-
ing securities which have been
found to be due to hope rather
than facts, since the underwriting
syndicates were obliged to carry some
times for long periods, the securities
which were said to have been over
subscribed.
Apparently that suspicion is not tic
be justified in the case of the offer

subsidiary properties 1t is believed tc
be the fact that "a hours before tht
subscription was opened between &c
and 20 millions of offerings for the
bonds had been received. And it is
presumed to be we'll within the truth
to report that at least go millions was

patches from Europe which showed
that capital across the sea is anxious
to make some investment in these Sc
curities. Inauiring dispatches came
from as far west as the Pacific slope
and from every one of the larger fin
anciaI centers of the United States
came evidences that an investing pub
lie was anxious to have some share in
the disposition of these bonds.
The incident contains several factors
which serve to reveal financial and
business conditions, at least in certain
in the United States at the
present time. And it is from this point
of view that the marketing of what J.
