LONDON, Eng, Dec 1.-THE proposal that the United
States appoint commission oil prominent to undertake
the mediation of the dispute in the Balkans and settle pos
sbe the difficulties arising out of the war between the Allies
and the Turks met with a rebuff before it was two
hours old The chief of the Seran plenpotenaries here
said this afternoon when asked about the suggestion that it
would not be satisfactory to his government for variety Of
reasons chief of which that the United States lacked
the necessary knowledge of the rae aspirations of his peo
pie and their allies, which led them to risk everything on
fight with their tyrants.
"The United States is admirably dsnterested, and from
that point of view alone could undoubtedly make the best
possible arbitrator declared the diplomat but there are
other things to be considered Not only must the abratohe
dsinteresed but he must possess knowledge of the racial
aspirations of my people, which led to this War the first
place, and the human rights Mhc~me have t0csftaH terri
toru necessary to our national existence Of which the United
States is unfortunately ignorant but the mediator must have
another thing which America also lacks an historical back
ground upon which to formulate his decisions All things
considered am inclined to believe that the French prime
minister NJ Poincare is the best man we could pick upon il
we decide to submit our difficulties to an outsider for ab
tration"

SUCCESSOR TO :
LINDSAY MUST
DECIDE GAS ROW

The successor to Attorney General
Lindsay, Mr.. Thayer, will have pret-
ty little problem to settle as soon as
he. takes the reins of office in, his
hands next month. Already the office
OF the city and county attorney is pre-
pairing a neat little legal problem
upon the settlement of which one way
or another will depend the receipt OF
the city of fifty street lights from
the gas company, free OF all cost.
- Some time ago the board of super
visorsl instructed the deputy city and
county attorney, Mr.. Milverton, to
communicate with the Superintendent
of Public Works, informing that
gentleman that, information had been
received by the board to the effect
that the gas company had rendered
itself liable to the clause. of its
charter, which provides that "if the
said w w. Dimond, shall manu-
facture Illuminating gas as we'll as
gas for fuel, and shall erect lamp
posts as aforesaid, he shall, on requi.
sition from the Superintendent Of
Public Works, furnish free of all cost
fifty street lights, etc"
Mr.. Milverton believes that, under
the reading of. the law the company
has rendered itself liable by placing
two street lights upon two post.
raised by the Kaimuki Land Company,
lut confesses that it is question for
the Territorial attorney general to
settle, and not a matter in which tho
City and County Attorneys office has
any right to NEEDLE. He has there
fore written letter to Mr. Bishop
superintendent of public woi-.s, sug
sesting to that official that the mat

W. 0. SMITH

"'The conduct OF the Democratic
members of the Bar Association at
the meeting held yesterday after
loon was disgraceiul," exclaimed the
Hon. w. O. Smith this morning.
The chief matters under consider
Ation," continued air Smith, were
recommendations for the reappoint-
nent of Circuit Judges Parsons of
Hilo, Matthewman of Kona, and
iingsbury of Wailuku, whose terms
Of office are about to expire. Each
If these judges had done good SER
vice and is approved in the COM
munity where he lives. They were
appointed irrespective of their politi-
cal party affiliations, and under the
circumstances the logical and proper
hing was to recommend their reap

members of the bar association pulled
every political wire to have Mr.. Ed
ings, a Democrat, appointed in the
place of Judge Parsons. and failing
that. succeeded finally in having him
nominated for Judge Kingsbury's
place by a majority Of two votes out
)f thirty-four. .
The next effort was to have J. l..
Coke named for L. s. District Attor-
1ey. Mr.. Coke is a Democrat who
has just been elected to the Terri
torial Senate for a four years term.
Mr.. Breckons, the present u. S. At
torney, has not yet resigned, and the
manner in which the campaign of
Coke was carried on was dis
creditable.
The office of L. S. District Attor-
ney is a political one and the bar as
sociation has not heretofore used its
Influence in regard to any political
appointments. but has acted only in
The matter Of the judicial appoint
ments, and this without regard to
party politics.
The attitude at yesterdays meet

ence of the bar association very
much If yesterdays performance is

tactics of Democrats when they get
into power, | do not wonder that

but by scattering coal dust or SCOT upon
the paper the writing becomes legible.
Ansonius adopted this method when
writing to Paulinus.
Diluted sulphuric acid, lemon juice,

acters written with the first two be-
come black or brown and the latter
green. When the paper becomes cool
the writing disappears and leaves the
paper blank again. Saitpeter dissolved
in water and equal parts Of sulphate of
copper and sal ammoniac dissolved in
water are two good invisible inks.
There are also some inks which are
invisible when dry but visible when
moistened with another liquid. Thus
