SENATE PROBERs
LOOKING into
CONTRACTS

Senator Coke says that the fnves-.
legations OF the proposed contract be
tween the Hawaiian Electric Company
and the board Of public works is we'll
under way. What new facts the COM
mittee has discovered he did not make
Known. He stated that the work Of
the committee would occupy several
more days, and that at its conclusion
the report of its investigation viii be
Iaade to the senate. .es-,,
The contract which was originally
drafted, whereby the electric company
vas to supply the city with power at
its water. works was to- be for one
year, the senator stated. But when
the instrument was ready to be signed
he discovered that four years had
teen substituted for one year, and as
result of inquiries made he intro
duced a resolution in the senate call
ing for probe into the pending trans
action. .'.. .... ..... ..-..e..
General Manager Harry Hepburn Of
the Hawaiian Electric Company de-
MED that the proposed contract to
supply the power for the city's water
plant was unfair. -.
I'VE. could not make contract diff
ferent from the one we did, ne said.
The proposition or supplying cleo
tIicity for one year was impossible.
Five years is a short enough time.
J. will cost the company $4,000 to be
& BILE to supply the city with the power
needed, and believe that fact alone
Is sufficient to prove that a one-year
contract would be improbable. >
Mr.. Hepburn was asked il it were
not fact that the first contract was
for one year and that it was changed
from that period to five years.
Il believe so; | am not certain, but
I believe the first contract was for a
year. We could not sign such con-
tract. Five years is short enough
period, when you consider the cost to
the company" III.
Being reminded that the board of
public works asked an appropriation
of $250,000 to supply its plant with
electricity to build its own power
plant, he replied. that it is ill-adyised
or the government to tie up SO much
money when his company was in po-
sition to sell all the power needed.
why not put that S250,000 in the
water works? 1t will be of more bene-
fit to the public there. This company
can supply all the power needed. We
are improving our plant all the time. :

TRADE LESS ACTIVE
BUT PROSPECTS GOOD

Under date or March 20, Henry
Clews of New York thug discusses
the trade position and outlook:
Trade conditions at home Indicate
a slowing down Of recent activity,
partly because the pace has been
very rapid and partly because of nat
ural hesitation until the tariff Is
settled. The recession, however, is
generally regarded as temporary; for
shelves are bare throughout the coun-
try and consumption Is still going on
at a rapid rate. We are now APP
preaching the season when the crops
become a more important factor.
The winter wheat outlook is excep-
tionally promising; and, though the
acreage is somewhat below year
ago, the comparative absence OF win
ter killing affords prospect for con-
siderably increased output. There has
been an abundant rainfall throughout
the country, which creates favorable
conditions for seeding operations"

COMMISSION HAS BRIEF SESSION
August Herman Advocates Guarantee for Peyers Salaries Lesser Minor Leagues-Proposed Uniform Contract Dis cussed-Business Left Unfinished.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The progressive spirit struck baseball today when the national commission at brief session here heard its chairman. August Herr mann, advocate a guarantee for ball. players salaries in lesser minor leagues and considered the proposed uniform contract, designed to protect unsuspecting players from ''1okers."
 The commission took no action on the contract matter-in fact nearly all of the country's baseball business so far as the supreme court" is concern ed was left unfinished when the com mission adjourned sine die this after noon, after re-electing MT. Hermann.
 Illness of John Farrel of Auburn, N. r., secretary of the National associa- ton, who has not been able since early last month to prepare preliminary cases of players appeals to the com mission, caused the postponement of their consideration as well as other matters
 None of the members of the com mission-Mr. Hermann, President Lynch of the National league and President Johnson of the American Ieague-would admit the Class AA sal ary question was brought up. It was expected the big minors would enter a formal protest against the $6,000 monthly limit, but it was said none was made.
 The Chicago Nationals today traded Pitcher Madden, a left handler, to TeTre Haute for Pitcher Rufus Gilbert also a left handler.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
NET CHANGES SMALL.
Stock List More Steady Due to Over
 sold Condition of Market.

New York, Jan. 16.-In the prosaic stock market operations of today | there was no hint of the nervousness which unsettled speculation early in the week. Leading stocks were de- pressed in the fore part of the day, but the market hardened before noon, with Union Pacific, Reading, Lehtgh 1 Valley and the coppers leading the
 advance. The days range was mar row, and comparatively few of the ac- | tive shares sold as much as a point
 above or below yesterdays close. The 1 market weakened toward the close and net changes of the leaders were small l Although conditions were more stable l and the market seemed to have re- 1 covered from it's nervousness, traders 1 heSitated to take definite position 1 on the long side. and there was the I same dulIness on any upward move 1 ment which has been a significant feature of trading recently. The stead mess Of the list today seemed to be due less to improvement in sentiment than to the apparently oversold con- dition of the market as result of the recent extended operations for the short account.
 There was some further scattered Hquida tion, which was confined prin- cipally to the speciaIties. Telephone ginia- Carolina Chemical was unusually active at declining quotations. Amer ican Agricultural fell with it, losing 1 1-2 points Southern Pacific was under pressure at times, but it's weak ness was ignored by the general mar ket.
 Strength of the copper shares, while perhaps due in large part to covering operations, drew attention to signs of improvement in the copper metal sit uation. In the London market a fur ther recovery in the prices of stand ard copper was recorded and the fort nightly European statistics showed a decrease in visible supply. In the local market business remains dull, but inquiries from consumers were said to be more numerous.
 Trading fell off in bonds propor- tionately with stocks. The general tone was better. Total sales, par value, $1,755, GOO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 IL would furnish a big incentive to trainers to try to win from the first as the more heats the greater the money would be split up and the smaller the amount the winner would receive This seems like an excellent way of preventing laying up," a prac- tlce that racing secretaries have tried to stop. It also would reward a horse that through accident was shut out alter It had figured in the money.
 Some Instances.
 Thomas uses two or three races con- tested at North Randall to illustrate his ideas One is the race in which Pansy Silver dashed out the gate two years ago and threw Vance NuckolS out Jack Promise won the race in straight heats and incidentally col lected $500 Nanah finished 3, 4, 2 and was awarded $250- pr. Wilkes was 4, awarded $10 on fourth money. Under Thomas, plan first Anoney would re- main the same in this event, but sec ond, third and fourth moneys would be dlvlded equally among Nanah, Dr. S166.
 Pansy Silver was second in the first and second heats and dfstanced in the tnlru The new plan would leave Ucon who finished no better than fifth, out of the accounting.
 A western race which was won by Dr. Archdale is referred to. By Thom- as arrangement seven horses instead of four would win money This was five heat race in which Dr. Arch dale finished 1, 5. 5, 2. 1 I. Dr. Arch dale would win $175. the second horse. which finished 6. l. 3, 1. 3, ?, would take down $155 while another horse, finished ? Ia awarded $100. The smallest sum awarded in this event would be $15 to horse finishing 3, T, dis,
 From this it is evident that more horses would get money, which is something that horsemen have wanted for long time. Whether this plan meets with their approval time only will tell. but it is along the right line.

MotorcycIeu and Parool Pogs

Motorcycles are being used in solving the problem of parcel post delivery ag Cleveland, o.
 Early in December Postmaster B1oyd arranged for the use Vf five motor cycle vans with which to deliver par eel post packages. He expects to add ten more machfnes-or as many as are necessary to insure prompt deliveries.
 The parcel post packages are dis tr1buted by street car to the six C1eve- land sub-stat1ons, and from there are hurried to their destinations in the motorcycle vans. Each Of the motor cycle vans has a capacity of 500 pounds.
 This same arrangement is undoubt- edly being made by other postnnastera who are now busy with the problem of parcel T,OSt delivery. The motor cycle assures quick and economical delivery and thus has many Qualtdcari tiOns for this peculiar service. Uncle Sam himself win also be e11z perfTnenttng soon with motorcycles i1i the mail service having asked for btda on 25 machines. This experiment.. however, does not interfere with ara engagements which may be made by individual postmasters who must adopt the best possible means to facilitate parcel post deliveries.
