MAIL
IMPROVEMENT
FOR HAWAII
Inspector Hall Here to Work
Outlmportant Chanqes-The
Man Who Helps Put Postal
Frauds Out of Business

Plans for reorganization OF the mail
service between the Coast and the Ha-
waiian Islands, resulting in an i'm
rense increase in the repid handing
Jf mail throughout the. territory, are
contemplated by Harry B. Hall, in
slector in charge of the San Francisco
division.
Inspector Hall, who Is one of the
best-known men in the postoffice de
paTtment, arrived on the Ventura yes
terdayiand will be here until February
:, when, he will return to the coast
on the Sierra. He is in charge or the
work throughout Arizona, Nevada,
California and the Hawaiian islands
Besides this, his activity in handling
various, features of postoffiee work
takes him into many other states,
particularly up and down the Coast. A
veteran postal official, he is known
throughout the country not only as all
efficient organizer and fine executive,
but as a terror to the evil-doers who
attempt to carry on their get-rich-
qitck schemes by the use of Uncle
Sans mails.
However, said Mr.. Hall with a smile
tlsiss morning in response to question.
be is not here in the pursuit of male
factors, but to see what can be done
abont giving Honolulu and Hawaii bet
ter mail facilities.

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, Jan. 20.-The Final arrange
ments for the incorporation Of the
HiIo Traction Company, as the street
car organization for the looal use will
be called, are, practically completed
and the articles of incorporation will
be filed In the near future. The capi-
tai stock, has been decided upon at
100000. with the privilege Of increas-
ing to 100000, and ii Is expected that
all this will be taken in the territory
and the larger part of the city of
Hilo. An issue of bonds will probably
be made to complete the financing OF
the concern. Fzt -
The incorporators of the company,
so far as given out at present, will
include the following: H. v. Patten,
cashier of the First Bank of Hilo;
Charles F. Wood, vice-president of
the Breakwater Company; D. e. Metz
ger, local manager of the Breakwater
Company; Attorney Carl s. Carl

Volcano Stables; l.. s. Conness, editor
of the Hawaii Herald: w. H. Johnson,
manager of the Hawaii Herald; Col.
Sam Johnson, manager of the Pahoa

be added before the papers are filed.
Arrangements are being made at
the present time to bring down a

KENNEDY BACK;
BUSINESS GOOD

Il spent the holiday season on the
coast, my mission being that of pleas
ure more than business this time"
intimated President and General
Manager ]. A. Kennedy of the Inter
island Steam Navigation Company,
who in company with Mrs. Kennedy
and Miss Jessie Kennedy and Stanley
Kennedy, were returning passengers
in the Matson Navigation liner viii.
helmina this morning.
We certainly felt the cold weather
that prevailed along the coast" ad.
mitted Mr.. Kennedy, as he basked in
the warm sunshine and surveyed the
green hills of Oahu, while the liner
steamed to a berth at Hackfeld
wharf.
THE damage wrought to the citrus
and deciduous fruitgrowers through.
out California has not been oyer-esti-
mated" believed the local steamship
man when asked concerning his OBJ
servation of the effects of the recent
cold spell.
In the opinion of Manager Kenne-
dy, disengaged vessels on the Pacific
coast are about as scarce as hens
teeth. San Francisco had within the
port small disengaged tonnage. At
Columbia river and Puget sound
ports every vessel for the Atlantic
and foreign ports is engaged, a record
not equaled until recently.
According to available figures,
coast shipping men are of the opinion
that for some time there will be no
drop in the present high charter
rates, which are based upon supply
and demand.
For some months the comparison
of figures has continued to show a
healthy increase in the amount of
freight handled. Despite the prevail
ing charter rates, there is no inclina-
ton 10 relinquish control of vessels
by the firms holding them under
charter. 1t is believed this condition
will prevail at least until the Panama
canal is in operation.

Following the arrival on the Wilhel-

San Franc " 0 and their interview
" ith Unie States District Attorney

his belief that he has sufficient in
eliminating evidence to prove J. {.
Steele. alias Jesse Clark, the former
street car con iUctor, guilty of statu-
tory offense w..iCh will send the latter

c. years.
That Jesse Clark, the man known
in Honolulu and J. {. Steele, who mar
ried Miss Theresa SCiaroni in San
francisco a nuin'er of years ago, are
ere and the same person BreCkons is
thoroughly convinced.
In fact. when Mrs. Steele, his San

the Wilhelmina this morning Miss
SCiaroni asserts sh ; recognized Steele
standing on the pier. He made no
effort to identify himself to his rel'-

when the affair will be placed before

So sure is the district attorney or
the strength of his evidence that he
issued a new warrant for Steeles ar
rest this morning, charging him with
adultery. The mans former arrest
was on charge of bigamv and he
was released on $1,000 bail. but this
will be changed today and Breckons
will urge a much higher bond, which
Steele probably will be unable to get
and will thus compel him to remain in

MUST REOPEN THE
SPRE.CkELS
CASE

That the old Spreckels will lease,
involving property on the mainland
worth $10OO0.0OO and $50O,000 worth
of property in Honolulu, and which
has been undergoing bitter litigation
in both local and San Francisco courts
since 1908 will be reopened and
threshed all over again was made
practically certain this morning when
Circuit Judge H. E. Cooper entered
Judgment in accordance with his de-
cision of January 9, involving the Ha-
waiian holdings of the estate.
He gives John D. and Adolph B.
Spreckels, the plaintiffs, right to
share Immediately in the ownership
of the Honolulu real estate. Attorney
D. l.. Wilmington, counsel for the heirs
under the will, Immediately filed
notice of appeal to the supreme court
of the territory and the court gave
its approval to the $1,000 bond re-
quired for the appeal
Wilmington already has announced
that if the higher tribunal sustains
Judge Cooper's findings he will carry
the case to the United States supreme
court. If it does. not Attorney r. r.
Anderson. counsel for John D. and
Adolph B.. will appeal
While the dicision applies only to
the Hawaiian property and the ulti-
mate court would be unlikely to re-
view the California supreme court in
matters of state law, yet in arriving
at it's own finding the L. S. supreme
court must interpret the will, and if
its Interpretation differs from that Of
tn eCalifornia court there is strong
probability that the entire case would
be reopened in California.

ment entered this morning, and to

TRAVEL
FOR Orient

The tide of tourist travel Is turning
orientward, according to the story
brought down from the coast in the
Wilhelmina this morning.
The Toyo Kisen Kaisha agency at
San Francisco is said to have been
swamped with. applications for trans
portation from prospective passen-
gers destined for various points
throughout the Orient.
That a number OF these people VIII
be prevailed upon TO remain over az
Honolulu seems almost certain
The Cbiyo Maru. to arrive here on
February :, is declared as booked 70
the limit with passengers who are
to continue the tour OF the world,
or round trip TO the Far East.
The Manila carnival. to be held at
the Philippine capital during the
early part of February, is said to be
responsible for the increased demand
for passage in the Japanese liners.
The Shinyo Maru Is also in aIine for
a large delegation Of travellers IL the
advance booking at the coast can be
considered as criterion.
1t is stated that a number failed
to secure passage in the Pacific Mail
steamer China, that fs due to arrive
here on Thursday.

coastwise service : Altman, although
young man, is known as one of the
most, efficient naVigators out of San
Francisco. Beforei taking command
of the China he was in charge of the
liner City of Panama. and disting-
uished himself by saving that vessel
from certain laundering nearly year
ago. Before that he was chief officer
of the Korea and well known to per-
sons crossing the Pacific.
Altman began his maritime expert
ence by propelling a raft about the
bay. He is one of the few self-made
shippers, and his rise in the profes-
sion from the time he became a COM
mon sailor to his command of big
ship was due entirely to his own ef-
forts.

the destinies of the China is declar-

Al plan Df organization for the pro.
posed Greater Honolulu Chamber oi
Commerce has been drafted by the
special Joint committee having the
matter in charge, and the Star-Bul-
letin is able herewith to publish the
bylaws now under consideration, CIV
ing the plan in detail. 81
This scheme of organization has
been worked out after more than a
year of consideration by prominent
business and professional men Of Ho-
noIulu For many months a special
committee has been at work making
researches into the plan of opera
ton of mainland chambers of com
merce, including those of San Fran
cisco, Cleveland and other large cities.
The committee was named after a
dinner at the University Club nearly
year ago, at which the adyisability
of uniting a number of Honolulu's g
commercial and civic bodies was dis
cussed.
The plan as now set forth in the
bylaws provides a body of exceeding
ly wide jurisdiction and activities.
The provisions for membership are
simple, practically the only restrie-
tion being that the application may be
rejected by three votes out Of the
twentypne directors The admission
fee and dues are comparatively small
The activities of the chamber are
to be carried on through standing
committees as follows:
Executive.
Finance and Audit.
, Trade, Commercial and Industrial
Development.
~ Maritime Affairs.
Agriculture.
Public Utilities.
County and Municipal Affairs.
Territorial Affairs.
Public Finance, Taxation and In
surance
Public Health and Sanitation.
Legislation.
Charities and Social Welfare.
Membership.
Reception and Entertainment.
Arbitration.
The bylaws have not been entirely
decided, upon by the special joint
committee, but the plan as published
below may be taken as practically
that which will bG reported favor
ably and will in all likelihood become
the basis of the organization of the
Greater Chamber of Commerce:

alton is the Greater Honolulu Cham

confinement until his case is called in
court.
In their interview with Breckons the
wife and sister subStantiated the the
ory that Steele was living in Honolulu
under the nom de plume of Clark.
Mrs. Steele explained that she and the
mans mother had been in communiCa-
ton ever since he came to the islands,
always sending his mail addressed to
y. c. Steele, LockboX No. 1855, Homo
lulu"
This information was confirmed
thirty minutes later when a receipt
was found at the local postoffice
showing J. c. Steele had rented lock
box there in 1911 and still retained it.
Mrs. Steele said his use of the name
Clark was not new feature. During
a part of his residence at San Fran
cisco he had travelled under that cog
nomen. To avoid trouble with the
streetCar unions and strikebreakerS
during the trouble there he had gone
into the traction service under the as
sumed name. and was known to all
the streetcar men there as Clark.
When be came down here his recon-
mendations from the company's Off
cials of San Francisco bore the name
Clark. thus virtually compelling him
tc continue its use in his new job.
AS vet the district attorney has been
unable to confirm the suspicion that
Steele, or Clark, has more than the
two wives already thought to have
been found Mrs. Steeles statement
that he is receiving mail from his
mother under the name of Steele
would seem to indicate that this is the
