At MORNING
PIPE.DREAM
Continued from page one)

Where are there any professional
swimming meets. I'd like TO know
said Rawlins Certainly there are
not enough for a man to make a very
good living out of them. | know
though, that some persons here have
tried to get hold of Duke to make a
few dollars out of managing him for a
while, but they haven't been manly
enough to come out in the open with
their propositions. As to going on
the stage. Duke isn't Just cut out for
an actor There is nothing to that
story"
I'D like to meet the guy that wrote
that story about me getting an offer of
$1,000 a week for IS weeks to appear
on the stage" commented Duke.
Maybe he can tell me wheS0Nto find
the man that made the offer Inever
heard of II before, and I'd kind OF like
to get such an offer. believe me- Gee.
I'd hate to think what | wouldn't do
for $4,000 simoleons, That's an awful
lot of coin"
NO. Duke said. in answer to a
query, I've not received any theatri-
cal offer of any kind yet. I've never
heard a proposition of that kind, until
one of the boys toll dine about that
story in the morning paper today.
However, the theatrical Offer or the
lack of it isn't worrying the champion
to any extent. In fact Duke is fortu-
nate in the possession OF tempera-
ment that refuses to be inflicted by
worry on any count.
He now has two swimming ambi-
tionsAone, to cut down She existing
worlds records in the short distances
at the San Francisco meet to point
where they are likely to stand unchal-
lenged for many years to come; the
other is to do something worthy of
note in the long-distance events.
After the San Francisco contest he
expects to go to Long Beach, and says
he wants to see what he can do in a
race scheduled for that place over a
three-quarter-of-a- course, in the
open salt water.
Reminded that the water probably
will be pretty rough there for record
smashing, Duke said:
II don't mind that. | like the
rough water and somehow feel more
at home in 1T than in the still water.
/ I've never tried for a record in rough
water and I'd like to make the at
tempt, just to see what | can do"
Duke yesterday picked out his spe-
cial surfing board from among the lot
at Waikiki and will take it to Long
Beach, where his performances in the
surf should prove an enormous attrac-
ton to the Californians.
Duke also has an ambition to visit
| the beach resorts OF Florida with his
beloved surfing board, but he doubt
less will have to forego that pleasure
la few months, as few people visit the
Florida coast in the baking hot sum-
mer months and the big hotels are yir-
tually closed until late in the fall.

.Glares that the showing of the islands

esting attractions of the exposition,
Eve have already selected our site. !"
said Wood. land are now completing
plans for the exhibit. All of Hawaii,s
resources will be represented and it
is planned 10 make the attraction an

]. A. GILMAN SEES
ruin in FREE
SUGAR

eff the Underwood tariff bill, re-
ducing the duty on sugar to cent a
pound, becomes law the sugar indus
try of Hawaii will be practically ru-
ined," says ]. A. Gilman, a prominent
sugar-grower of Honolulu, who is in
Portland on business.
ut is impossible for us to compete
with the German sugar growers on an
open market" said Mr. Gilman yester-
day. 1.-The cost of labor and transpor-
tation and the general expenses are
much greater with us than our Ger
man competitors.
Since the islands have been an
nexed to the United States the cost Of
labor has more than doubled. With
the present duty of $33. so ton On our
raw sugar it costs us about SIS ton
to lay sugar down in New York to-
day. Our average selling price is $50
a ton. This gives us a margin of $22,
but out of this We have to pay the
cost of selling it and other expenses.
Nov the Underwood bill proposes
to cut the duty to cent a pound or
$40 ton. At the end of three years
This virtually would confiscate our
business. We could not operate I'M
der free sugar system, as the Ger
man growers could cut under our
price at every turn"
Mr.. Gilman points out that 80 per
cent of the people in the Hawaiian
Islands depend upon the sugar indus
try, either indirectly, or directly, for
their livelihood The pineapple indus
try now is becoming competitor OF
sugar in the number of worknlen 1t
employs. but it is coIHRaEasively In its
infancy
Hawaii now sends 100000 tons OF
cane sugar to the United States an
nually. The mainland" as the Ha-
waiian people refer to the United
States proper, produces annually 775,-
900 tons of cane and beet sugar. The
total production of maple sugar and
molasses in the mainland is $4,000
tons. Cuba furnished 1,665,000 tons,
the Philippines and Porto Rico $40, 900
tons and outside sources, including
Java and Germany, 10000 tons. The
total sugar consumption in the United
States, according to these figures, is
3,500, 900 tons annually. The price for
the whole world is fixed every day
at Hamburg. 1t is natural, the Ha-
waiian growers point out, that in the
event of a tariff reduction the Ger
man growers and dealers will do their
utmost to invade this country with
their products. Just now Germany
finds ready sale for its sugar at home
as we'll as in free-trade England and
other European countries.-Portl

which determined the success OF the
mounted guns Two rounds were fired
from each of the two guns, everything
going off according to calculations,
and without accident or incident.
The only damage done by the con-
.cussion was to the post hospital,
where dozens of bottles came rafting
and crashing to the floor, making an
Understandable mess of broken bottles
and spilled chemicals.
The guns were sighted for 5000
yards, and fired one at a time, first
with a three-quarter charge, and then
with the full service charge behind
the cast iron projectile. The field of
fire was absolutely clear Of any OBJ
struction, and there was little or no
delay in firing, as soon as General
Funston put in an appearance. The
fall of the projectiles was easily spot
