SUGAR FACTS I
MADE CLEAR
TO congress
Sidney Ballou Gives Statement
of Cost of Production for
the Congressional Record
By C. S. ALBERT
,lal star-Rulletln correspondencel

Especial Star-Rulletln Corfe6pondencoI
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 22.-
The real facts regarding the actual
cost of producing sugar in Hawaii
have recently been given extended
circulation and are causing much
comment. They were furnished by
Sidney Ballou in a letter to Senator
Ransdell and by him laid before the
senate and printed in the Congress
sional Record. The communication
from Mr. Ballou follows:
Hon. Joseph E. Ransdell. Senate
Chamber, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir: AS illustrating the neces-
slty OF public hearings on the sugar
schedule, permit me to call your at
tention to some misstatements con-
corning Hawaii made by Congress
man Hardwick, of Georgia. In his
speech just published in the current
Congressional Record, he says, in
speaking of the cost of producing a
pound of raw sugar:
I'm the Philippines It is It's cents
per pound, and In Porto Rico, Cuba,
and Hawaii about 2 cents per pound.
There is no dispute whatever about
these facts, as will be seen on ex-
animation of the evidence submitted
to the special committee on sugar and
from the report of that committee and
from the recent hearings before the
ways and means committee of the
house of representatives.
So far as this statement concerns
Hawaii, it is entirely incorrect. The
page of the Hardwiek committee re
port from which Mr.. Hardwick quotes
contains no reference whatever to the
cost of producing sugar In Hawaii
The, citation from the recent hearings
before the ways and means Commit
tee proves, upon examination, to be
merely q generali:akI6h Of Mr.. Frank
c.. Lowry, who knows nothing of con-
ditions in Hawaii and whose state
ments or figures In the interest of
free sugar are notoriously inaccurate.
The cost of producing sugar in ,Ha-
waii is given on page 2400 of the
same hearing as follows: For 1908,
2.5S cents pound; for 1909, 2.64
cents a pound; for 1910, 2.82 cents
pound; for 1911, 2.91 cents a pound.
For 1912, under an increased scale OF
wages adopted that year, the cost
will reach cents a pound.
Later in Mr.. Hardwick's speech, he
says:
In the first place, the cost of pro-
duction is not materially different
in Cuba and Hawaii According to
the testimony of the representatives
of the sugar interests of Hawaii, in
the past Hawaii has been able to
produce raw sugar at around 2 cents

TRANSFFROF
Water SYSTEM
some Way OFF

The Honolulu water system prob
ably will not be transferred from the
territory to the city and county for the
next six or nine months.
In authorizing this transfer the re-
cent legislature provided it should
take place before July 1, 1914, but not
until all contracts for the systems I'M
pIoyement, entered into by the terri
tory, should be completed and the al
lotments set aside for the department
ale spent Several such contracts are
under way. now, and until they are
completed and paid for the Depart
rfient will remain under territorial
control.
Among these are the proposed pipe
line for the Punchbowl tract, the
equipment of the Wilder avenue pump
ing station and the Palolo reservoir
SITE These will require an expendi-
ture of about $4,000, which the terri
tory will undertake to pay.
Discussing the subject today Gov
ernor Frear said it is possible still
further allotments for additional I'M
provements in the water system may
be made, if it is found that the work
can be finished before July ] Of next
year
That" said the governor, probably
will be one of the questions left for
my successor to decide"

She was appointed April &c, 1911. and
her term expires on June %. 1919, the
appointment having been originally
sent to the Legislature of 1911 because
her commission was soon to expire
and the governor wisned to continue
her in Office. The appointments of
". o. Aiken of Maui and w. IL. Rice
Of Kauai were also made on April rs,
1911, and expired on April -, 1913.
w. r. Farringtons appointment was
made on October %, 1912. and the
term for which he was appointed eY-
pired yesterday. but, as in TIE case
OF the others, he was not confirmed
by the senate.
Mrs. Wilcox Resigns.
Mrs. Wileox's resignation was given
to the governor this morning, and thus
clean sweeps aade.
The two commissioners from Hawaii
were named only few months ago.
The legislative subcommittee TO
which Governor Frear's report deals
at length, was composed of Represent
ative S. S. Paxson, chairman; Repre-
sentative Rufus Spalding and Senator
II. b. Penhallow On April "a, toward
the close of the legislature, this COM
mittee handed in a long report which
condemned school conditions generally
and particularly the Pope administra-
ton.

PUNISHMENT
NEEDED TO
FIT CRIME

Because there is no law which ade-
quately fits the crime, the five young
men who struck a Japanese with their
automobile one night three months
ago, then carried him off to a park
and left him to die-as they thought
have escaped severe punishment,
each receiving a sentence of thirty
DAYS Imprisonment this morning.
They were indicted by the territorial
grand jury April II for conspiracy 1t
was the only charge that could be pre-
ferred against them, under the cir
cumstances. The Japanese, Sensuke
Mihara, was found in the park the
morning after the accident, in seri-
ous condition, and was removed to the
hospital, where he eventually recov-
cred.
Had he died, the five joy-riders
would have faced a charge of man
slaughter But his recovery left

compromise between the offenders
and City and County Attorney Cath

degree to conspiracy in the third
degree, and they pleaced guilty be-

Explaining his action Attorney
Cathcart said:
1T is most unusual situation.
There is grave doubt as to whether
there is any criminal statute which
would cover the facts and punish the
defendants. have been unable to find
a law dealing with an offense of that
nature and it was questionable, if we
had gone to trial, whether any convic-
tion could have been obtained"
The men who will serve thirty days

Two OF the commissioners
were only recently appointed to

become identified with either fac

son for not retaining them, what
ever might be the outcome of this
investigation as to others, that
have already reappointed them.
Their reappointments, like their
original appointments, may be re-
garded as part of the new deal. -
Two Of the other commissioners
have been decidedly partisan in
the faction of the complainants

a fresh start, it is clear that they
should not be reappointed. The

STRANGE ADDRESSES
HONOLULU AD CLUB

H. L. Strange of the Honolulu Gas
Company during his recent travels on
the mainland came in contact with
many advertising clubs and advertis-
ing club men, At today's session Of
the Honolulu Ad Club Mr.. Strange
gave a talk on what he found the ad-
vertising clubs of America doing and
what good suggestions he found for
local application.
He said that he believes the Spo-
kane Ad Club wields a greater influ-
ence in the life of its city than any
other with which he came in contact.
Also, he found the people on the
mainland sadly unenlightened re-
garding Hawaii. and proposes that
a larger amount of money be spent
in advertising the islands and their
resources.

Must Pay Duty.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Citizens Of the
border separating Canada from North
Dakota and other boundary states may
not relish a ruling issued by the treasury
department today which will require
them to pay duty on tobacco aud whis.
key obtained in Canada aud brought
across the line.
The question was raised by the col.
lector of customs at Pembina, N. d..
who wanted instructions as to whether
the customs regulations relative to free
entry of cigars. cigarettes and whiskey
should be applied to persons living near
the border, who "make short and fro
quent trips to Canada IN automo oiles, !"
The department ruled that these regu-
latlons are applicable only to bona tide
passengers arriving in the United States
from foreign countries and such privi-
lege of free entry of their cigars, cigaret-
tes and whiskey cannot be extended to
persons who cross into Canada and re-
turn after an absence of few hours or
days. Nor do these regulations, the de-
partment ruled, apply to persons cross
ing the border for the purpose of ma
ing such purchases.
