INCREASED COST OF
LIVING CRuMPLES

Is Honolulu solving the worldwide
question on the high cost of living, or,
rather, is Honolulu making a bid to
fame as the one city in the world where
the cost of living is being decreased
instead of being ever, as elsewhere, on
the ascendant
This complex, and compound question
is now freely asked by local students
on economics, and some of them claim
that, strange as it may seem, the mid
pacific metropolis is now on the high
way of proving to, the world that it is
the ideal spot, where the price of every
day commodities is being gradually, but
surely, lowered
"Take water, for instance,'' pointed
out n student of liquids yesterday.
" Now Honolulans take lot of water,
and 1 see by the announcement of the
waterworks department that we are
going to pay one cent less per thou
sand gallons for this everyday neces-
sity than we ever did before. Now, to
my mind, this is going some. If save
only one cent per day, in q year, and
that is easy, i will have my bank ac.

Company. The baker has also come
down in his prices and i am now get

when formerly twenty-six were all |

again, is a considerable saving. Now
the gas company is going to show me
how to save on my fuel bill.
GAS to sugar, am afraid, though
we grow more than half million tons
annually, we won't get it any cheaper,

"Papaias, pineapples and bananas
were never cheaper on the local mar
ket than they are now, and good
many families can almost entirely live
off these ne-favored and nourishing
fruits. -
Taken all around, students of this
interesting, important and absorbing
question now begin to see the "Hun.

way to an early realization.

tBy Federal Wireless Telegraph.) +
NEW YORK, June 8. - Especial TO
The Advertiser) The course of stocks
during the morning Indicated that Sc
we're liquidation, such as has upset tho
market recently, had been arrested.
Bondon sold about $4,000 shares here
+at the opening, chiefly Amalgamated,
Steel and Union Pacific. This selling
was largely responsible for the excited
fluctuations of the first few minutes,
although bear spectators helped along
the decline until they discovered that
stocks were being taken by substantial
interests. The genernI tone then became
better, as the, rfcent seyere slump had
brought into the market buying orders
of an investment character.
The demand, however, was not keen
and trading tapered out on the recov-
cry. Prices continued to rise despite
the weakness of petroleum stocks, Can
adian and Smelling preferred, the lat
ter losing three points
| Bonds were heavy.
Raiding tactics were resumed in the
afternoon by the bdarsi who threw large
! block of stock on sthe market causing
prices to crumble in railway directions.
Reading, Union Pacific, Amalgamated,
Smelling and Steel bore the brunt of
attacks, the last named touching "a, a
new low record. Hasty support was ex-
tended and the list rallied sharply and
grew dull.
The market closed weak.

SAY He STOLE
FROM A SICK MAN

Charged with embezzlement, Ramon
o. santos. a Filipino, is held at the
police station for defrauding "Colo
mel r. j. Green, the aged former
carctaker of the Capitol, to whom the
legislature awarded a pension. Friends
Of Green, at the time the old man was
stricken while on duty, raised fund,
amounting to several hundred dollars,
part Of which went towards defraying
his hospital expenses. 1t is with the
cmbezzlement of $2s of this that the
Filipino is charged.
1t is alleged that this sum was
turned over to Santos by G. w. r.
King as the balance of the fund, the
Filipino having stated that no one of
the Green family, for whom he was
thcr working, was up. The alleged en-
bezzlement occurred several months

The first fake suicide to be carried

principal actor is now recorded on the
books of the police and Abraham Paa-
luhi, the successful actor, is in Jail.
Last night the police got a hurry call
from the River street district, which
collectively alleged that Paaluhi had
just shot himself and was lying in his
own gore.
The police ambulance and Sergeant
Kellett, in the detective auto, rushed
to the scene and saw Paaluhi stretched
at length dead to the world, but only
drunk. Before finally sinking to sleep on
the cold hard pavement, the Hawaiian
had drawn revolver from his pocket
and dramatically fred it, dropping the

MERRY WIDOW" Is
HEARD BY WIRELESS

y GENEVA, May 24.-During the last
fortnight the wireless installations
around Lake Geneva, from the Fort of
st. Maurice, more than 5000 feet high,
above Sion to this city, have been puz,
2lcd by receiving fragments of personnel
conversation and portions of waltzes,
such as the merry Widow" the
Italian national hymn, etc.
The mystery has been explained. NJ.
Roberto Galetti, an Italian civil engi-
neer, discovered after many years of
experiments the wireless telephone.
He has established stations at Lau-
same, and to amuse friend the
Italian engineer places phonograph
in front of the "wireless phone" and
hence the "Merry Widow was heard

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Secretary
Josephus Daniels was wined (on grape
.juice) and dined last week at Washing
ton, North Csrolina, the place where he
was born. He travelled long to get
there in time. for the program and had
to retire in M sleeping car about day
break.
AS he moved back and forth across
the platform that day, his old acquaint-
ances noticed that one of his aristo-
cratic ankles was covered with a black
seek and the other with white one.
In his haste to get off the train Mr..
Daniels grabbed black and white
cock from his travelling bag, slipped
them on without noticing the colors,
and sailed forth.
Daniels Maintains Silence.
The newspapers in North Carolina
are trying to ferret out the trouble.
Black and white are the sign colors of
the. anti-hazing society of North Caro-
hna, and Mr. Daniels has declared him
self against hazing. But, at the navy
department, they say that Mr.. Daniels,
by wearing black and white socks, was
laying stress on his order to have sea
men say 'right' and cleft instead
of starboard'' and port
Mr.. Daniels is saying nothing. lie
admits the allegations to the color of
the socks, but offers no explanation.

-FOUR DEFENDERS
MAY Be BUILT

NEW YORK, May 2l.-With almost
universal satisfaction prevailing in
Yachting circles over the news from
London Yesterday that the New York
Yacht Club has accepted the latest chal-
lenge of Sir Thomas Upton to race for
the America 8 cup, gossip was busy to-
day regarding probable plans Tor the
defense of the trophy.
The greatest satisfaction is expressed
that the coming series of races Will be
held under the present rules of measure
ment and time allowance. 1t is free
ly predicted that with seventy-fve-foot
yachts designed under this rule good,
seaworthy boats will be the result in
stead of the fimsy racing machines
which participated in the last contest.
One result of this change, it was said,
will be great reduction in the cost Of
building and maintaining the yachts,
and this is expected to bring about
keen competition for the honor of de-
Tending the cup.
Four Boats May Be Built.
Yachting enthusiasts believe at least
three and perhaps four boats will be
built to contest in the trial races. 1t
is understood that two individual
yachtsmen will order seventy-fve-foot
boats, while, it is said, the nucleus Of
syndicate to put ahoat another yacht
has been in process of formation for
some time.
Today the opinion was expressed that
opportunity should be given American
designers to see who can produce the
best and speediest yacht. Herreshoff,
il is said will have one and perhaps
two boats, and William Gardner, who
has heen very successful with sailing
craft under both the old and new rules,
is expected to have one. Henry j. Gle.
low, who designed the Effort, winner
of the first kings cup race, is also
talked of for another yacht.
