EDITOR KINNEY OF
HILO ARTIST AT
KEEPING A SECRET

Land Commissioner Joshua d. Tuck.
er was deeply incensed on arriving at
Hilo Sunday morning to find that not
more than a dozen citizens OF that
city were aware of his success in OBJ
tanning the much-desired release OF
the 200-acre Waiakea tract, for build
ing lots, and that no steps had been
taken to obtain an expression Of opin-
ion regarding the manner in which
the land shall be subdivided.
This, despite the fact he had wire
!essed H. w. Kinney last Wednesday,
when the Waiakea Mill Company an
nounced its willingness to release the
tract. In consequence. meeting Of
the committee Of the Hilo Board OF
Trade, which had taken the subject
up last year, was called again, but
no plan agreed upon. and Tucker re-
turned home without the data he had
expected to procure.
The transfer of the tract will now
De held up pending the Hilo peoples
action, and until they are ready. to
submit maps showing exactly how
they desire the land laid out in
streets and blocks.
Tucker announced today that he is
preparing for another release of
200-acre tract near HiIo, which he be-
lieves the Waiakea Mill Company will
make, for rifle range for the Nation
al Guard.

WHEN IS A SOCIAL
CLUB NOT A SOCIAL
CLUB, Is QUESTION

Fear that the Okino and Namura
hotels of Hilo, two Japanese hostel
ries, intend applying for licenses as
social clubs to evade the jurisdiction
of the liquor license commission and
thus enable them to engage in q big
retail liquor business, is expressed by
the liquor commission OF Hawaii
county in a letter received bye Terri
torial Treasurer Conkling this morn
ing.
1t appears that legitimate social
Glib. by obtaining club license from
the territorial treasurer, is not under
the control OF the liquor license COM
mission, which can have nothing to
say as to the hours or days during
which liquor may be sold to members.
At the same time the treasurer has
authority to deny applicants when
convinced they do not intend TO have
social clubs within the true meaning
of the term. The responsibility OF de-
termining this question is placed
squarely on the treasurer's shoulders.
leaving it to his discretion.
The communication from the Ha-
waii county commission AYERS both
hotels are suspected of conducting
blind pigs" and are asking for club
licenses merely to make their traffic
more secure and beyond the reach of
the commission.
The treasurer stated this morning
he had not yet received any applica-
tion from either hotel.

HAWAII GETS
FIRST OUTSIDE
POSTAL BANKS
Eleven Institutions Probably
Will Make Regular Reports
to Honolulu Office
BY C. S. ALBERT
Special s:ar-Bulletln Correspondence

ISpecial Ssar-Bulletln ,CorrespondenceI
WASHINGTON, D. c., August A.
Hawaii was honored with the first
extension of the postal savings banks
system beyond the continental limits
of the United States. This has been
accepted as a foregone conclusion for
the last twenty months.
Under the administration of Post
master General Hitchcock it was
thought possible that the initial post
al savings bank could be established
in Hawaii by June 1, 1912 This was
found impracticable because no ar
rangement could be figured out
whereby the required reports could
be made in the prescribed time to
San Francisco. The plan went by
default until some method of ac-
counting could be devised.
The puzzle was solved by Postmast-
er General Burleson, basing 1t on the
theory of establishing eleven banks,
one at each presidential postoffice in
the territory. THESE could all report
to one central point and thus satisfy
the legal requirement. Honolulu un-
doubtedly will be that point. No
time was lost in making this scheme
operative and an order was immedi-
ately signed for opening the eleven
banks

sion of the system to Hawaii this
