most interesting series of motion
pictures ] saw privately presented in
Los Angeles the other day before be.
ing sent out over the United States.
The pictures were taken at the
great sugar beet plant at Oxnard, Cal
ifornia, and took the spectator
through the process of sugar beet
manufacture from the time the great
gang plows went over the fields until
the freight trains pulled out of the
sheds with thousands of bags of
sugar.
The pictures were absorbingly in.
teresting, and were expertly taken
to give the layman an understand.

facture,. and more especially the
enormity and Importance of the beet
sugar industry. - III. .. =
The lecturer, one cf the officials of
the sugar company in this instance,
frankly explained that the pictures
were to be used throughout America

ance of the sugar industry and clever
lecturers would make every effort to
impress the auditors with the import
ance of protecting the sugar industry
in this country with the hopes that
local representatives in Congress
would hear from their constituents in
the matter of seeing that the tariff
bars were not lowered. ..... =. .

fore Adjournment

It is now quite certain there will
be no special session of the legisla-
ture. incidentally, the seat left va
cant by the death of Representative
Poepoe will remain without an occu.
pant through the remaining sixteen
days of the regular session.
The time is far too short to per-
NIT of special election for sue
cessor to the vacancy, to enable him
to take part in the deliberations of
the present session. Speaker Hol-
stein said this morning that no spe-
cial session sfst at all likely, and that
the only value of a special election
to choose a successor might be to
have one In case new chief execu-
tive is appointed by the national
Democratic administration. In the
event of the appointment of a new
governor, that official might call a
special session; If SO, he would have
ample time then to also call the
special election to fill Poepoe's place.
Territorial Secretary e. A. Mott
Smith, on whose Office devolves the
duty of issuing such calls and ar
ranging the details of elections, coin
cides with this opinion.

HARDOR BOARD IS
PROBING WHARF
c RGES
Former EmpIoye of Contract
ors Declares He Was In
Structed to Use Under
weight Copper

Informed through the testimony OF
John Herley, laborer formerly IN
the employ of the Lord Young En-
cheering Company, that 16-ounce
copper sheets have been placed upon
some of the piles of the Queen street
bHlkhead wharf whereas the specifica'
tions call for copper weighing IL
ounces to the linear foot, Harbor Com
missioners C. j. Mccarthy and James
Wakefield have been appointed an
committee to give the report thor.
ough investigation.
The harbor commission began first
to get wind of the situation last Wed.
nesday. Previously, it appears that
Herley had visited Commissioner Nc
Carthy and told him that under
weight copper was being used on the
wharf. Mccarthy directed Herley to
make his complaints to the commits
sion. The commission had before it
on Wednesday Inspector Richey, who
reported on the facts of the copper
he had inspected Engineer Parks
and Herley Commissioners Berndt,
Mccarthy, McStocker and Wakefield
were all present at the meeting.
None OF the commission intimates
that the contractors knowingly used
the underweight copper, but all arc
anxious to find out just what the
facts are and why Herley should have
made his charges. -.-s"
When seen by representative of
the Star-Bulletin this morning, Herley
stated that he had been dismissed
from the eemploy of the Lord-Young
Company because of the disappear
ance of ten sheets of copper for
which he was held responsible. He
admitted freely that he was anxious
to get back at the company for this
reason. Herley stated that he put
16-ounce copper sheeting around the
piles without knowing that the speci-
fications call for 1S-ounce.
Foreman Agasy drew me little
sketches of his own of the work re-
quired and never showed me the
specifications" he stated. 1".

spector, reiterated when seen this
morning the statements made We'd

NO SPECIAL Session IN SIGHT
SAYSSPEAKER HOLSTE|N NOW

I'VE are moving along nicely now
said Speaker Holstefn, and / can see
no reason at present for an extra
session. The only important feature
still requiring detailed consideration
is the general appropriation bill.
The public utilities measure is in
the hands of the committee but can
be definitely decided in very short
time; the Honolulu charter bill al
ready has passed the senate, is now
in the house, and can be disposed of
in few days; the workmen's com
pensation measure is progressing
nicely, and all other matters OF mo-
ment can be cleared up without un-
due haste
The Speaker also took occasion to
remark that virtually every pledge
of the RepuDffca4F campaign plat
form has been fulfilled, save that
regarding women suffrage, and even
offers a bright ray of hope to the suf-
lragists.
I'VE were not ready to act on the
woman suffrage question. when IL
first came up" he said, but it is by
no means dead--merely tabled-and
can be resurrected at any time. And
1t undoubtedly will be brought to the
fore by the house leaders in the last
two or three days of the session.
We are not opposed to equal suf-
frage, by any means, and will prob
ably enact some legislation on the
subject before the session ends"

trial of Samuel ID. Hausman, the aged
Seattle banker held here on a charge
of opium smuggling, will not be set
in the U. S. district court before the
last of April. All jurors have been
dismissed for the present term which
ends Saturday, and it viii not be pos
sfble to call the veniremen for the
new term before April 26. II was stat
ed upon good authority this morning
that Hausman has about made up his
mind to make a clean breast of the
matter and to throw himself upon
the mercy of the court. In this case
Mrs. NJ. S. Taylor, the former steward
css of the Mongolia, will take Haus-
mans place upon the court calendar

packed soil is broken and mulch is
established. The formation OF the
mulch prevents In great measure the
loss OF moisture. The loss OF moisture
Is prevented by the stoppage OF the
capillary movement OF water. It
would be much the same II one were
to cut on lamp wick and fasten the
two cut ends by wires. Oil would not
pass from one part OF the wick to
another. Forming a mulch on land
does not entirely prevent the loss OF
moisture but the moisture saved may
amount TO so per cent or even con.
siderably more.
There are several conditions that
affect the dirt mulch The deeper
soil mulch is the more effective, but
the deep soil mulch is more expensive
to make and the deeper the mulch the
more fertile soil there is lost for
the plants. A soil mulch becomes
poorer with age and so it may have
to be renewed occasionally. This is
especially true II rain should come.
