HONOLULUS ENCOURAGEMENT TO SHIPPING

HonoluluS preparation for great commerce
OF the future is not proceeding at a rate com
mensurate with the necessity for it, and there
fore the announcement of the board of harbur
commissioners in this paper a few days ago Of
plans for bonded coalingstation is of more than
usual significance.
Members of the harbor board protest against
the alleged unfriendIiness of certain large inter
ests here to any plan that means special taxation
to build up the waterfront facilities of this and
other cities of the territory. Whether the latest
plan of the board,-to establish a bonded coal
warehouse and put the territory into the bust
ness of furnishing cheap coal for foreign vessels,
will be opposed by local concerns, is still to be
.ascertained.
The Star Bulletin was told last week, by a
representative Of a big San Francisco shipping
business, that the port charges here are entirely
too high and that this city is not encouraging
traffic to come here. He declared that Tanning
island, thousand miles to the southwark, may
yet wrest from Honolulu the bulk of trans-Pa-
cific shipping. He looks upon the proposal for a
bonded coaling-station here as progressive and
likely to attract considerable trade and suggests
that the fuel-oil pipeline should be used to Sc
cure the calling of vessels burning OIL 1t is said
that the Togo Kisen Kaisha is already consider
ing plan to get all of its oil in this port instead
of in Japan, which would add considerably to,
the volume of local business
The opening of the Panama canal is set for
next October and Honolulu is far from ready forl
any large increase in shipping here. The wharvesl
are inadequate TO handle some of the freight car
gees, and while the plan for bulkhead wharf at
the foot of Fort street will somewhat relieve the
situation, there is huge task ahead of this COM
munity in lowering the general shipping charges
here. Building wharves is not the only encour-
agement that must be given to commerce Ho-
nolulu must make this port stand out in the
minds of shipping companies and shippers as a
port where charges are low and service of water,
fuel and other supplies plentiful and certain.

CENSORSHIP FROM A READER

Honolulu, T. H.. May 4th. 1913.
Editor Honolulu Starr Bulletin,
Sir:-Haying read in your valuable
paper for some time past criticisms of

last night, went to see the much-dis-
cussed film.
My impressions, when | had seen the
reel, were that a molehifl had been
deemed mountain As far as the
play goes. a lover of the realistic will
certainly find all he wants. But why
throw scenes of horrors of this kind
on the screen of popular theater?
Right here is where censure ought to
be made, and not of the silly actions
of silly old lady. Nobody gains any
thing by il, only one goes home with
a creepy feeling-some perhaps with
cid memories awakened, to pass a
sleepless night.
AS far as the proprieties are con-
|cerned, the censure passed by few
citizens is undeserved on the point al
legged. There is nothing immoral in
the reel, but might have been, if the
role of the leading lady had been i'm
personated by less frightful speci-

POSTMASTER PRATT - Four or
five years ago suggested that by
working over the Hawaiian mail in
San Francisco and arranging 1t for the
routes here, we could greatly increase
the efficiency of the local service. The
San Francisco office at that time
could not furnish the facilities for
routing the mail When Inspector
Hall was here, we went over the
whole thing and he has been success
full in getting the needed facilities in

IMPENDING STRIFE IN CHINA

Chinas political crisis is considerably more
imminent than has been commonly supposed, if
the tenor of dispatches received by the local Chi
nese newspaper, Sun Chung Kwock Bo, and pub
lished in this paper Saturday, are indications of
the division of power.
DIR. Sun is apparently in control of the upper
house, or rather DR.. Suns party is in control.
In the lower house, the Yuan Shih-Kai support
ers have effected combination of three parties
and are now in control there with the Progress
sive party, as opposed to the Tung Mung or Ma
ti0nalist party, to which DR. Sun belongs.
1t is apparent that the ambition of Yuan
Shih-Kai, long known to be active and often de-
clared INSCRIPTIONS, is at work to achieve dOmi-
nance, and that the split between the president
and DIR. Sun Vat Sen is impending may be
gained from the report that the Nationalists are
TRYING to prevent the provincial revenues from
going forward to the central government They

Not long ago an eminent Chinese traveller and
lecturer, speaking at Chinese banquet i'm this
city in the presence of many of his own race and
very few Americans, declared that the internal
strife at Picking has been largely concealed from
the outside world That he has not exaggerated
is indicated by the tenor of recent dispatches.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Cincinnati, D., Feb. 9.-Divorced fif-
teen years ago, their love revived at
chance meeting at the home of a
mutual friend a few days ago. and re-
married tonight by the Rev. Dudley
Rhodes Of Clifton, are the three es-
sential facts in the romance of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ward Baldwin.
Mr.. Baldwin, engineering head Of
the great Southern Railway system,
is fifty-six. and his home recently has
been at the Sinton hotel in this city.
He is one of the best known consult
ing engineers in the United States.
Mrs. Baldwin (for the second tinef
was Miss Emma Niemeyer. whose
mother lives in Pleasant Ridge, Gin
cinnati suburb.
It was many years ago that Baldwin
first met her. She was seventeen AMI
a pupil at one of the most fashion
able girls schools of the day, the
Ely School Mr.. Baldwin
was professor of engineering at Gin
cinnati University. A party of the
girl students went to Europe and the
first person they met when their ship
warped into the dock was Ward Bald
win. He paid assiduous court to Miss
Niemeyer, with the result that they
were married in New York. Upon the
return to Cincinnati Mr.. Baldwin took
up his duties at the university and the
young wife also entered the institution
as a student.
His work was exacting and her
