SUGAR NOT A BLAMABLE FACTOR in INCREASED
COST OF LIVING

Political transformers who are pointing to
the high cost of living as reason for ruthlessly
slashing the tariff on sugar either don't know
what they are talking about or are willing to
sacrifice truth for temporary effect
Hawaiian residents who are writing to con-
oressmen and other friends on the mainland in
the present campaign to protect sugar may we'll
enclose the following statement made before the
Mouse WAYS and means committee on January 10
& this year by Mr.. II. E. Milling of Louisiana ::
NstEet us ask the further question, Is the price
of sugar too high? Is the consumer paying too
much for his sugar? Why, sir sugar is the
cheapet necessity of life, if such it is classed,
that is produced by the American people 1t is
the only necessity of life which has not increased
by leaps and bounds in the last decade. Instead
of increasing however, it has decreased, and it,

SLEUTHS RAIL
SMUGGLER Of
OPIUM

1t became known today that several
mysterious cables have been exchang-
led between the local customs officials
! and the authorities in Seattle during
the last few days. and it is now
J thought that. Samuel d. Hausman, the
| aged Seattle banker: held here on a
charge of opium-smuggling, may be
1.-THE man regarded by the. Seattle au-
! thorities as the master mind of the
great opium syndicate which. work
! ing through Vancouver and Victoria,
! B. c., has evaded the vigilance of the
customs inspectors for a number OF
| years. -.=.: r. .. .:~. :..
1t is alleged that Hausman and a
| former business associate of his were
the brains of the international syndi-
cate and that John W. Rogers and
others apprehended several weeks
ago in Portland, Oregon, were subor-
dinates working under their direction.
| II is now the opinion Of those on the
inside that the federal authorities
would be glad to give Huasman the
privilege OF turning states evidence
and telling what he knows about the
actual workings of the mammoth plot
to smuggle past the customs barriers
tons of the coveted hop" H.. <......
1t is reported on good authority
that the Seattle officials have succeed
ed in locating the beaten track across
the Canadian border by which the
opium has been brought into, eastern
Washington. Great quantities of
opium are said to be concealed by the
members of the syndicate, who are
only waiting for the coming of good
weather to smuggle ii into the United
States. According to the confessions
of Rogers, the man apprehended in
Portland, the syndicate have been
successful in disposing of practically
all of the drug Struggled into the
country within the last year. Once
across the Canadian border, there has
been little difficulty in finding ready
market for the opium, it being declar-
ed that there is sufficient demand in
New York alone to exhaust the sup
[ply. Prices of the contraband article
have advanced, with rapid strides, and
the members of the gang were looking
forward to an unusually successful
season when their plans we're upset
by the apprehension of Hausman' in
Honolulu and Rogers in Portland
1t is reported from Seattle that the
authorities there are determined upon
a most rigorous inquiry and that they
stand ready to grant the fullest i'm
munity if only the ring-leaders of the
gang can be uncovered and its entire
ramifications exposed Although To-
cal authorities have made no such
public statement. it is said on good
authority that they stand willing to
grant immediate immunity to HausI
man if he will give information which
will result in the apprehension fl

The fact Is now generally recog
niZed by those to any degree familiar
with conditions existing in island wa
tiers, as regards the direction and
nrce of currents and winds, that the
story alleged to have been related by
the Korean to the police authorities
on Monday night, is absurd in many Of
its details.
ut would be physical impossibility
for this Korean or any other person
to reach Molokini rock from a point

AR N Y OFFICERS
LOST IN THE
MOUNTAINS

Love of mountain climbing, and g
taste for exploration, nearly cost First
lieutenant Philip J. LAUDER and See
end Lieutenant T. J. Camp, Of the
Second Infantry, their lives in a re-
cent expedition through the peaks OF
the ,koolau range. Lost above the
clouds, with a broken compass, no
I,ater, and only small piece Of chloe

the two explorers were in a bad way
when found by one of three rescue
Larties sent out to- locate them.
LAUDER and Camp left Fort Shafter
Friday, riding over the Pail and figur.
ing to cross the range so as to strike
the Moanalua valley near Shafter. At
the proper point on the windward side
of the island, they sent their horses
back, and together commenced the
arduous march. They were not &C.
companied by any detachment or par,
W of soldiers.
The lieutenants made good progress
until they reached the summit Of the
range, when a heavy rainstCrm swept
in from the ocean, the clouds. envelNp-
ing the climbers, and blotting out the
landmarks. This did not particularly
worry the officers, as they had OF
course brought along compass.
However, when the instrument was
needed it was found that the pivot
was broken and that the needle was
absolutely useless In the meantime
the officers had become confused, ard
soon were hopelessly lost. Darkness
found them cropping for foot and hand
holds in the widest part of the range.
By Sunday night the garrison was
thoroughly alarmed over the non re-
turn of LAUDER and Camp, and three
search parties were organized, COM
manded bye Captain Harris, Lieuten
ant Crockett and Lieutenant Hoffman
respectively These struck out up diff
ferent spurs of the range, making an
carly start Monday morning. Shortly
after noon Hoffman's party discovered
the missing men on a peak some dis.
lance away; the figures being Just
discernible through field glasses.
After an hour Of hard work, Hoffman
and his men reached the wanderers
who were thoroughly exhausted It
was with difficulty that the two off.
