EMPRESS BOATS
Will VISIT, !.
ISLANDS

Honolulu will be included in anoth-
er round-the-w world tour providing the
present plans of the local promotion
committee prove effective. Il
The Canadian Pacific Railroad has
decided upon a new departure in CON
nection with the first sailings OF the
"Empresses," two new liners which
have just been completed and which
will be ready for service early next
summer. The C. P. R. will divert the
ordinary course of sending the vessels
around Cape Horn to make the start
in the Pacific service from Vancouver,
and instead have arranged attractive
round-the-world trips for their first
voyage A start will be made from
Southampton, England, and the
Empress of Russia" will be the first
vessel to sail on April /, while the
Empress of Asia" will leave the
English port on May 81. Both the
steamers will call at Port Said, Glib
ralter, Suez, Colombo, Panang, Sing
apore, Hong Kong, Yokohama, and
other points of interest and arrive at
Vancouver two months later.
Arrangements have been made for
the Canadian liners to leave from Can
adian and American ports in time to
catch the Expresses and the fare Tor
the round trip, exclusive of the cost
of hotel expenses in England and
berths and meals on the c. P. r. K.
will be $6301O According to state
ment made this morning by Secretary
Wood of the local promotion COM
mittee, the committee will at once get
in touch with w. G. Annable, general
passenger agent OF the Canadian Pa
cific Railroad at Montreal, urging that
Honolulu be included in the itinerary
of the two vessels. The dates of the
sailing of the two vessels from Eng.
land would bring the passengers to
too late for the Gleral
Parade and Mid-Winter Carnival, but
nevertheless, Secretary Wood is of
the opinion that the tourists would
never regret the trip.
These two ves>>ls are sister ships
and 500 feet long, so feet beam, with
gross tonnage of 1880, and have
speed of 20 knots per hour. They are
The first vessels with cruiser sterns,
a feature which is especially adapted
for speed, besides securing more
room for the various decks.

HIS FATE HANGS ON LETTER
ODD IANGLE ARISES OVER LAND
Owner of Keaau Tract on Ha-
wall to Press Claim for an In
crease of Two Square Miles
to His Domain
Whats in a name?"

"udI III AdLuCs
To w. II. Shipman, owner of the
Keaau lands on the island of Hawaii
under an old patent. a difference of
one letter in certain proper noun
may mean the addition of about two
square miles of land to his domain.
BY the same token, that difference
may act contrariwise on the terri
tory.
. For a long time there has been
doubt-and is yet, for that matter
concerning the boundary between. the
Keaau lands In the Puma district, and
the governments land at Waiakea.
When the grant of the former was
made during the old monarchy this
boundary was described as extending
along a mawae, or fissure, in the lava
flow toward the sea in the general
direction of the ancient HaWalan
temple of kaWiakawa. At least that
appears to have been the general un-
derstanding.
The land south of that boundary be-
longed to TIC kaeeu tract, now owned
by w. H. s Dman. In the years that
followed thu granting of the original
patent, the impression developed that
an error had been made in the spell-
ing of the name of this temple, or
heiau, in the deed, and that what was
really meant was Kawaiakawa. Tie
relics of the Old heiau of this maize
were found near the seashore, in the
general direction pointed by the lava
fissure, which was about five miles
distant.
But Shipman las never been salts

TEMPTATION or GIRLS TO
Be PUT UNDER CONTROL

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
WASHINGTON. Apr. 26.-Declarin &
that the vast majority of American
men and women are wholesome and
pure, but advocating vocational train
ing for children to combat white slav-
cry, Secretary of Comm cree Redfield
to whom the fight against slavery is
delegated, gave the following state
ment today:
(By VIM. Redfield, Secretary of Com
m merce-Copyrighted by United Press
Association). q am interested in the
public press statements that low
do with immortality. The truth lies
somewhere between the extremes. The
declaration that insufficient wage is
sufficient temptation for wrong doing
Is untrue with the vast ma ority, who
are wholesome and pure in life The
strength Of character most workin q
girls show under difficult circurstanc-
es is national honor. Low wages are
not the primal cause of the trouble.
The normal instinct for society, pleas
ure and good food makes a different
aspect. We must create conditions part
~ by wages. partly by other things,
strengthen environments surrounding g
the girls. Training for some vocational
work has a distinct moral and mental
value. We must not put our girls un
taught into self-suppor ort under condi-
lions which tend to moral overstrain.

WHY LIVING COSTS HIGHLY
rBY UNITED PRESS Assoc1Ar1oNsI

Lea CNAA6D FhESS ASSOCIATIONS
NEW YORK. Apr. 25.-The steamer
Saxonia. bound for Naples. carried a
delegation of 100 Americans when i,
sailed today. The Americans are going
abroad to find the solution of the high
cost of living riddle. The key of the
riddle, according to this delegation
the American Commission on Agricul-
tural Co-operation-is the establish
ment Of farmers banking system
which will break up the present flow
Of money to Wall Street and send it
Into the farms SO that the consumers
or the country Will have more food
and cheaper food
majority Of the dollars deposited
IN American banks today, declare the
members OF the commission, are bound
10 find their way to the speculation
markets since every bank has no al
Tentative under the present banking
system than to deposit 4 large portion
OF Its funds with other banks which in
turn place the funds with the New
York or Chicago banks and turn ii
over TO spectators under the guise of
call money. The aim of the American
Commission on Agricultural Co-opera-
tion Is to establish little cooperative
hanks In every American farming con-
nunity which will receive the deposits
81 the community and loan them di-
ment of their farms
Besides the efforts to establish these
farmers banks, the commission will
undertake the study of the land banks
OF Europe. institutions which carry on
the mortgage business OF the European
farmers, accepting all mortgages and
Issuing bonds based upon them which
cell on the stock market and command
As wide market as any railroad or
municipal bond. France has a land
bank with a capital of $4,000 900 con
tfofied by the French government
which brings the farmers loans at As
per cent as compared with the SIS per
cent paid on an average by the Ameri-
can farmers. The German land banks
have secured some $4,000, ,000,OO0 for
the development of the German farms.
II such a system can be establish ed
in the United States and the billions of
dollars which are poured into the
speculative markets by the banks can
be diverted to the farmers, it is the
belief Of the cooperative commission
that this country will see such a de-
velopment of its agricultural resources
as will solve for once and all the prob
lem Of the high cost of living. Cheap
money and easy terms, say the mem
bers of the commission, would make
II profitable for farmers to double
the production of their farms and open
up all of the vast areas of uncultivate ed
land in the United States in the cours c
of not very many years.
Once cooperative banks are estab-
iished among the farmers, it is said,
other cooperative societies will be
