gods shipped to foreign markets, in
which duty paid sugar has been used
in the process of preserving.
Mr.. McInerny reported letter he
had written to Mr. Hanan, the big
shoe man, and was requested to pre-
sent copy of it to the committee.
Mr.. Wall reported letters he had
written to reading men in the book
and stationery trade, and stated his
intention to write more.
Mr. Waller stated that he had con-
yersed with a number of senators on
his recent visit to Washington and
believed that he had influenced them
somewhat on the sugar tariff ques-
ton. In response to his request for
more information relative to the cam
paign, the chairman went at some
length into line of argument espe-
eially designed to remove misappre-
tensions regarding the sugar indus
try of Hawaii. Mr.. Waller said 1t was
very important that facts be fur
nished He created laughter by say
ing senator from California had
asked him whether Governor Frear
was Democrat or Republican.
THAT is fine," interjected Mr..
Cooke Perhaps he will be reappoint-
ed as Democrat"
Mr.. Waller added that it was very
wise to concentrate the campaign on
the senate, as the house was hCetty
certain to pass free sugar billA
Mr.. Cottrill said he had come inAby
invitation and was prepared to do aly
work possible with his acquaintanceA
in Ohio, but he wanted to proceed
entirely under the direction of the
committee. He suggested that en-
phasis should be laid on the prin-
ciple that the duty on sugar could
only be considered as a question of
revenue, as nobdy could show that
free sugar would reduce the price of
sugar to the consumer. Its abolition
would mean both the destruction of
revenue and the destruction of an in
dustry.
Chairman Carter and other mem
bers asked Mr. Cottrill to dictate his
argument to a stenographer before
leaving the building, which he con-
sented to do.
James A. Wilder came in as the
meeting was adjourning and reported
a letter he was sending to the edi-
tor of the New York Evening Post,
his intimate friend.
Mr.. Berndt reported that arrange
mepts had been made with the Ha
waiian Trust Co. to obtain the Public
Service rooms for headquarters. the
of the building being post
poned to accommodate the committee.
The meeting adjourned till four
o'clock for another conference with
businessmen,

Attorney General w. w. Thayer de-
MED this morning having made the
statement which appeared in the
morning paper to the effect that the
First Bank of Hilo has given assur-
anee that they will aid the govern
ment in every possible way in making
the investigation. No such assur-
ance has been given" he said, and
that is matter that can only be set
tied when the time comes. / expect
that the bank will assist the govern
ment in every way, however" When
seen this morning, u, S. District At
torney Breckons denied any knowl-
edge of such assurance having been
given. 81 know nothing about it, he
said.
Although nothing OF Importance
that can be given out has transpfred
in the last twenty-four hours, 1t is adj
mitted that important wireless mes
sages have been exchanged with the
big island city since the conference
between Thayer and Breckons yes
terday morning. Just what action the
authorities are planning tostake, how
ever, has not as yet been disclosed.
Whether or Mot the attorney general
considers the affidayits signed by Nc
CURE sufficient to convict, 1t has not
been possible to ascertain but 1t is
apparent from the information being
amassed that the government will not
depend upon these affidavits alto
gether. From the fact that no arrests
followed the visit of U. s. District At
torney Breckons to Hilo, it is evident
that the inquiry will by no means stop
with Mcclure and that the govern
ment is lying low to convict others
who are as deeply involved. Breck-
ons will leave for the big island city
Saturday unless wireless comes. be-
fore that time to make him change his
plans. @...= ~.

SALARY OF DEPUTY
COLLECTOR SLASHED

Deputy Collector E. r. Beyins at
Kahului. Maui, has been notified
through the department OF state at
Washington that the salary formerly
paid him as collector at. the Maui
port has been materially slashed from
$500 tC $500, the same taking effect
at once The reduction in grade OF
Kahului port Is thought to be the
work Of Special Agent Tidweil, who
spent some time in the Islands last
year. He did not seem able to grasp
the position properly, and his remarks
about the different ports Of entry
caused lot of annoyance when he
was in the group.
The. total amount of collections
through the Kahului customhouse
tonnage taxes and such came to
$5441.52 for the period covered from
January Ito March II, 1913, inclu-
siVe.
The deputy collector of customs at
Kahului also acts as United States
shipping commissioner, immigration
inspector and representative OF the
board of agriculture These duties he
performs for nothing.

WISE SUGGESTIONS ON PROMOTION
ARE MADE BY RETIRING chairman

committee would be assured and their
work made easy by liberal contribn-
tons. II is certainly that the COM
mittee composed of gena;imen who
are willing TO give one afternoon q
week of their time with only one sal
aired officer and he receiving a salary
Tuch less than he can enjoy from
other pursuitsl should be expected TO
go into the community and have to
raise funds for such important work
as promotion.
The suggestion that steps be taken
at once for the future OF the Mid-Win-
ter carnival is good one. and hope
that someone in the community can
be found who will undertake this work
and relieve the burden from the pro-
motion committee. Just what is the
best method of procedure, formation
Of carnival company, or the appoint
Llent of a permanent director general
to work entirely under the control of
the promotion committee, i am not
prepared to say; in any event prompt
ection should be taken to establish
some effective way Of handling this
matter in the future than in the past.
Il suggest that the number of mem
BEES of the promotion committee be
increased TO include a resident mem
Der on each island, this member to be
nominated by the commercial board
OF the island on which he resides. The
copies of the minutes and proceed
ings of each meeting should be for
ward to these members who can
closely keep In touch with the work
of the committee, 1t being possible
thereby to interest them in the work
and secure from them the most valu-
able assistance and cooperation.
81 also suggest that an organization
Cor aSsociation) be formed composed
of the past chairmen of the promotion
committee. These gentlemen, who
lave all had valuable experience in
this work, are in position to give
their help and advice to your commit
tee, and in order that you may have
u full working committee at all times
I would suggest that, in the absence
of any member, that his place be
filled temporarily by some one OF the
ex-chairmen selected among them
selves to occupy the chair of the alb.
sentee and to act in as full a way as
the regular member | mention this
from the fact that our work has been
very badly handicapped at times by
the absence of members, and this plan
would obviate the difficulty of secur-
ing working quorum to carry out the
work.
Again thanking each and every
and congratulating the COM
mittee as a whole on the splendid re-
suits, which 1T has obtained"

Zeno K. Myers Urges Mar. from

Also Organization of
Chairmen

In severing his connection with the
Hawaii promotion committee, Zeno x.
Myers, whose resignation as chair
nan was rendered to and accepted by

of office. .... =" ."...
AS chairman of your committee, IL
has been a pleasure to work with
you," the letter reads, "and know of
no single instance where there has

arrangement in connection with our

DIX Brings
MUCH GOAL

Five thousand tons of Japanese
coal loaded aboard the United States
army transport Dix at Nagasaki is en-
route 10 this port, and should arrive
here late thursday afternoon, accord
ing to a wireless message from the
Dix. received at the local Office of the
United states army quartermaster de-
partment.
The Dix is believed to have met
with considerable nasty weather on
the way across the Pacific. The troop
ship made bad start from Manila,
meeting with typhoon that sent the
vessel scurrying back to Olongapo,
the naval base, for repairs
The transport has been in Philip
pine waters for some months. The
last visit of the Dix at Honolulu was
on the occasion of the transit of
large deck load of mules destined for
the Philippines.
The Dix will berth at the naval
wharf, and is likely to remain here
for the better part of ten days before
steaming for the Sound.
Thomas Nay Be Late.
wireless received at the local
branch Of the u. S. quartermaster de-
partment gives rise to the belief that
the transport Thomas, enroute from
San Francisco to Honolulu, may be
late in arrival. The troopship is ex-
pected to reach here on or about Sat
urday afternoon or Sunday morning.
1t is the intention to give the vessel
a prompt dispatch for Guam and Ma
Mia. The Thomas may berth at Ala
kea wharf.
Many Tourists Sail in WiIheImina.
One hundred and ten passengers
are booked for Hilo in the Matson
Navigation liner Wilhelmina, sched-
uled to sail for Hilo at o'clock to-
morrow evening. The Wilhelmina is
to return to Honolulu on Monday
The vessel will be supplied
with nearly four thousand tons of
sugar during the stay at the Hawaii
port. Many of the prospective pas
sengers are mainland people, bent on
viewing the volcano.

MankatO Man Writes to Endorse
Executive Cemency.

Governor Hodges recent action in
pardoning three boys who were SEN
fenced to the state reformatory from
Jewell county for the theft OF some
clothing and groceries from a Mex1-
can shanty. seems to have met with
much approval. Practically every resi-
dent of Mankato tried to sign the ap-
plication for a parole, it seemed, and
q letter from a Mankato reader of the
State Journal, comments on the gov
errors action as follows:
IT is with pleasure we read of Gov
ernor Hodges pardoning the three
school boys sentenced from Mankato
to serve terms in the Hutchinson re-
formatory, but disliked the manner in
which the article referred to Mankato.
The boys did not get off at Mankato,
nor did the stealing take place there.
Had these youngsters made known their
condition to the citizens Of Weber
or Loveland. it would not have been
necessary for any stealing. The theft
was committed and it is not for the
county attorney to judge criminals
therefore his prosecution of the case
was In accordance with his oath of Of
flee. Citizens of Mankato or Jewell
county are rot entertaining a worthless
class of people who live by beating
their way. However, a deaf ear was
never turned to deserving honest per-
son.

THEY ENJOYED IT.
Hays People Appreciated Governors
Visit.

HAYS Kan, Dec. 5.-An incident OF
Governor Hodges recent trip to Hays
was his visit to the home of John
Schleyer. who has been confined to
his home for number OF weeks and
suffered the amputation of leg.
Schleyer was formerly a member OF
the legislature, has long been prOmi-
nent in Ellis county politics and is one
of the pioneer residents of this sec
ton OF the state. So, when Governor
Hodges came to Hays, Schleyer ex-
pressed his desire to meet him, but it
was impossible for the man to leave
his home.
So Governor Hodges went to the
Schleyer home. That visit probably
did Schleyer more good than all the
medicine and medical attention he
has received in many weeks. For two
hours the states business at the Hays
Experiment station was allowed to
wait and the governor and Schleyer
talked over the events Of early day
hardships and privation in western
Kansas. Schleyer was a part of it all.
He hunted buffalo on the plains,
helped clear the prairie for settlement
and was instrumental in securing the
first railroad through the western
counties.
Nearly an entire day was spent by
the governor at the Hays Normal and
Experiment station. A class of $50
farmers are taking special sixty day
course in scientific agriculture and
Governor Hodges declared that the
present work of the institution was in
his opinion the most profitable and
successful in the history OF the state.
