PRATT. .COMMENDS
JUDD'S MEASURE

Characterizing Senate Bill No. Ill
as the most important piece of health
legislation that has come before the
legislative body in years, Dr.. J. S. B.
Pratt, president of the board of health.
this morning pointed out the great
benefits that could be derived from the
passage of the measure.
"To put the matter briefly" DR..
Pratt explained, "the bill provides for
such important things as the laying
of sewers, the water system, removal
of the congested conditions in various
parts of the city. The Importance of
the reforms that would be possible
cannot be overestimated. In the
Palama and Moiliili districts in par
ticular, the features provided for in
the bill would be a great boon. The
bill provides for the systematic clean
ing-up' of those districts in which
the white plague is now bred. 1t also
provides for the prevention of water
born diseases, such as typhoid, and
cholera" "

DRASTIC AUTO
BILL MEETING
NO OPPOSITION
Committee Holds Public Hear
ing but No Automobile Driv- .
erS or Owners Attend

Not single automobile or motor
cycle owner or representative of such
was present last night at what was
intended to be public meeting of
the house health and police committee
On the most drastic and important
proposed piece of police legislation
likely to come up at the present ses-
sion. The committee has under coll
sideration house bill 2ls, intended to
govern in every way the handling of
automobiles and motorcycles.
One proposal made at the meeting
last evening was to include clause
making it felony for a driver who,
after injuring a pedestrian, does not
stop and go to the injured ones aid.
Another clause which Chairman Coney
favors and which probably will be in.
serted in the bill, will set a heavy
penalty for the driver who, while un-
der the influence of liquor attempts to
manipulate car on the streets.
Nowhere in the territory, according
to this measure, will speed of more
than % miles an hour be permitted.
On city streets and every village or
hamlet is included under the defini-
tion-the speed liimt will be fifteen
miles; automobiles must go no faster
than ten miles an hour past street
crossings, must come to full stop il
streetcars are at the intersection un.
loading or taking passengers, and in
stopping on downtown thoroughfares
must hug the curb, with the right
hand rear wheel within eighteen inch
es of the sidewalk ...-
The bill also specifically provides
for motor car lights from sunset to
sunrise, for registration numbers on
the front lights; how they shall be
painted and their size; also on the
rear. fixed not less than 30. nor more
than 40 inches from the ground, and
prohibits the appearance on the
streets of cars not meeting these re.
quireinents; also stiff penalties for In.
Motorcycles must carry
specially displayed numbers.
The measure is lengthy one, mod.
eled largely on the statute of Califor.
MIA, and covers the subject exhaustive
ly and thoroughly. t--~

AMERICAN Law FAILS TO FOIL
QHINAr1AN AND GIRL HE LOVES

The girl who is to be his bride ar
rived here on the Chiyo Maru last
Tuesday, and it was not until his fa-
ther discovered she could not be lande
ed that Cha chan was apprised of his
approaching wedding and the plans
that Uncle Sam's laws have set awry.
Cha Kan Hee, pere, is a Chinaman
of the old order, who like many white
parents believe the only happy mar
riages are those ordered and ar
ranged by the families, instead of the
two young persons most intimately
affected by the contract. Accordingly,
he had arranged a surprise for his
American Sson. He had sent back to
one of his old friends in the home
country and for good round price
purchased one of his friends daugh-
ters. Secretly the plans for the big
wedding, after the Chinese custom,
had been perfected here, and all was
in readiness to receive the girl and
begin the big celebration. - ...
1t was intended that Cha Chan
should know nothing of it until the
very day of the solemnity. ... ..-..
But now sordid American law has
spoiled the whole affair. When pret-

REAPPORTIONMENT BILL
WILL BE CHANGED

Senator Wirtz will introduce a sub
stitute reapportionment bill to take
the place of the one advocated by
Senator Brown.
He made this statement today and
after a conference with sveral of the
senators, who declared they were in
favor of re-apportionment along the
lines he suggests.
The substitute bill will be framed
as outlined several days ago in the
Star Bulletin, and will be based or
the population as shown by the cen
sus of 1910.

ed today, "and the bill will pass. There
is no question in my mind but what
the re-apportionment as l have fgur
ed it is correct"
A number of the senators stated
that they were heartily in accord with
the proposition of having a substitute
bill, as there is a danger, of Senator
Browns, they say, not being approx
ed by the governor. ... ...

And now Attorney-general W. W.

AS an aftermath of his fight against
the Hawaii probe commission bill
when it was before the house, Repre-
sentative IArcher Irwin this morning
introduced a resolution calling on the
attorney general to say whether he
has employed outside legal aid since
he went into office, the first Of the
year, what remuneration he has prom
ised such extra professional aid, and
If he hasn't promised any definite re-
muneration, what amounts you ex-
pect to allow them to be paid?'
Though the name of Robert w.
Breckons is not mentioned, the in
uuiry is pointed directly his way. Evil
IDENTIFY DR.. Irwin and his friends are
still convinced that Breckons has
been promised large emoluments for
his service in investigating the county

SENATOR CLAYTON.

There will be mIsgvlngS as to the propriety in all
the circumstances, of the course which Governor
ONeal has taken in appointing Congressman CLAW
an excellent one and assures that Alabama will be
represented by a man who is thoroughly known to
the State and the nation, and whose record makes
his selection long step toward more progressive
attitude than Alabama has commonly been able to
assume in the upper chamber.
The adoption of the Seventeenth Amendment 70
the Constitution left uncertainty about the procedure
in filling Senate vacancies State legislatures have
not authorized their governors to make appointments
pending elections; neither have they provided the
necessary election machinery for election of Senators
by popular vote. 1t has been, however, the COM
monest opinion that governor might issue writ
for election in such case and this has been done
in Maryland That the governor could appoint to the
vacancy has been held much less probable.
Governor ONeal nevertheless appoints Should
there be such objection would make il impossible
for Mr.. Clayton to take the seat or should his
right to it be decided adversely. the State
might find that the appointment had merely
served the purpose to kill so much time that it would
be lacking Senator at the critical time when votes
must be taken such important matters as the tariff
and currency measures 1t would have been possible
to provide Senator, by the election process in time
to vote on at least the currency measure and not
unlikely the tariff but if few weeks of this interval
should be occupied in determining that the APPOINT
ment does not legally make Senator it would then
be too late to create one in time for the pressing
business ahead

THE MILITARY COMPETITION.

The reichstag has passed the new German mill
tary bill, under which the German army will be in
creased on its peace footing to over 100000 men.
There was bitter opposition but the government had
its way as it always does in such matters France 5
threeyearservce measure has been outdone, and the
military showing of the two continues to present
about the same relative strength as formerly.
1t is said that the French army was increased by
the threeyear bill result of representations from
St Petersburg. The Russian ally felt that France S
position as an equal partner was not strong enough
and France is forced not only to increase its army
but to continue to finance Russia in addition. 1t is
burden that no other country could indefinitely bear
perhaps France will be unwilling long to shoulder IT,
in both France and Germany the constant increase Of
military and naval expenses is arousing determined
opposition, and reaction, in some effective form,
seems unavoidable before long.
The Washington times., 1913-08-13

relations between Japan and this country, by reason
of the California affair, are such that Tokyo gov
ernment with desire to play demagogue and Chauvln-
ist, might have given the Japanese masses chance
for fine anti-American demonstration, if they were
so minded.
But Japan follows the dictates of good form sound
sense and excellent manners in taking another view
So far as Tokyo is concerned it is clear that
necessary ofense is to be given the United States.
The situation in Mexico is hard for Washington; it
might have been made good deal worse if Japan
had chosen to encourage a hostile sentiment toward
this country. Not only that, but had Diaz been re-
ceved and feted at Tokyo it would very likely have
caused an ant-Amercan outbreak in Mexico City,
for which Japan could not possibly be held re-
sponsble and yet that would greatly have added to
the tension of present problems.
This is one of the occasions when the American
people have need to realize how uniform has been
the Japanese policy of real amity and good manners
toward US.
