SUGAR FACTS
MADE Clear
TO CONGRESS
Sidney BaIIou Gives Statement
of Cost of Production for
the Congressional Record
BY C. S. ALBERT
,ecial star- -PulletIn IOorrespondencel

tSpecial Star-kulletfn tOorTespouoenc9I
WASHINGTON, d, c., May 22.-
The real facts regarding the actual
cost of producing sugar in Hawaii
have recently been given extended
circulation and are causing much
comment. They were furnished by
Sidney Ballou in a letter to Senator
Ransdell and by himf laid before the
senate and printed in the Congress
sional Record. The communication
from Mr. Ballou follows:
Hon. Joseph e. Rinsdell, Senate
Chamber, washington. D. C.
Dear Sir: AS illustrating the neces-
sity of public hearings on the sugar
schedule, permit me TO call your at
tention to some misstatements con-
corning Hawaii made by Congress-
man Hardwick, of Georgia In his
speech just published in the current
Congressional Record, he says. in
speaking OF the cost of producing a
pound of raw sugar:
I'm the Philippines It is 1.75 cents
per pound, and in Porto Rico, Cuba,
and Hawaii about 2 cents per pound.
There is no dispute whatever about
these facts, as will be seen on ex-
animation of the evidence submitted
to the special committee on sugar and
from the report of that committee and
from the recent hearings before the
ways and means committee of the
house of representatives.
So far as this statement concerns
Hawaii, it is entirely incorrect The
page of the Hardwick committee re-
port from which Mr. Hardwick quotes
contains no reference whatever to the
cost of producing sugar IN Hawaii.
The citation from the recent hearings
before the ways and means commit
tee proves, upon examination. to be
merely generalization Of Mr.. Frank
c. Lowry, who knows nothing OF con-
ditions in Hawaii and whose state
ments or figures in the interest of
free sugar are notoriously inaccurate.
The cost of producing sugar in Ha-
waii is given on page 2400 of the
same hearing as follows: For 1908,
2.5S cents a pound; for 1909. 264
cents pound; for 1910, 2.82 cents a
pound: for 1911, 291 cents a pound.
For 1912, under an increased scale of
wages adopted that year, the cost
will reach 8 cents a pound.
Later in Mr.. Hardwick's speech, he
says:
In the first place, the cost of pro-
duction is not materially different
in Cuba and Hawaii. According to
the testimony of the representatives
of the sugar interests of Hawaii, in
the past Hawaii has been able to
produce raw sugar at around 2 cents

PUNISHMENT
NEEDED To
FIT Crime

Because there is no law which ade.
quately fits the crime, the five young
men who struck Japanese with their
automobile one night three months
ago, then carried him off to a park
and left him to die-as they thought
have escaped severe punishment,
each receiving a sentence of thirty
days Imprisonment this morning.
They we're indicted by the territorial
grand jury April II for conspiracy. 1t
was the only charge that could be pre-
ferred against them, under the cir
cumstances. The Japanese, Sensuke
Alihara, was found in the park the
morning after the accident, in a seri-
Gus condition, and was removed to the
hospital, where he eventually recov-
cred.
Had he died, the five joy-riders
would have faced charge of man
slaughter. But his recovery left a
peculiar situation, that resulted. in a
compromise between the offenders
and City and County Attorney Cath
cart At his request, the charge was
reduced from conspiracy in the first
degree to conspiracy in the third
degree, and they pleaced guilty be-

Explaining hin action Attorney
Cathcart said:
1t is most unusual situation.
There is grave doubt as to whether
there is any criminal statute which
would cover the facts and punish the
defendants. have been unable to find
a law dealing with an offense OF that
nature and it was questionable. If we
had gone to trial. whether any convic-
tion could have been obtained"

ULA.HULA IS
TOO Much FOR
HONEY GIRLS
Bare-Limbed Dance Tab00ed
by BIushing Maidens from
San Francisco

Blushing little chorus girls, part of
the personnel of James Posts Honey
Girls have slammed the stage door
of Ye Liberty theatre, and the vet
eran comedian has found himself face
to face with strike, all because he
insisted on staging dance which his
honeys and honeyettes say is too in
decent for them to take part in.
Two of the chorus girls have al
ready severed their connection with
the company, anu lave announced
that they VIII have nothing further to
do with it so long as the dance is
continued, and they declare that
others are indignant that they should
be forced to take part in such a per-
formance, but lave been obliged to
continue with the company, having
no other means of returning to San
Francisco.
The trouble began to brew in Hilo,
il is said. when Pest ordered his COM
pany to put on an Americanized hula
hula, with bare limbs and the other
attributes of the native dance. Loud
voiced objections were heard, shame
faced girls declared they would not
execute such dance, but all were
met with the stern re5uke that if
they did not do as ordered they would
be dismissed from the company, the
girls say. SO the hula hula Ameri-
cana was given in Hilo. while blush
ing faces were lowered and fearful
eyes beheld bare extremities. 1t was
staged for several nights and caused
something of a sensation in Hilo.
The girls say that when they left.
Hilo they believed they had left the
shame of the dance behind. But not
SO. Soon after arriving here Post
passed the word out that little more
hula should be hulaed, and this news
met with the first determined step
toward mutiny, or strike, or whatever
you wish to call it. Two of the girls,

TRANSFER OF
WATER SYSTEM
some Way OFF

The Honolulu water system prob
ably will not be transferred from the
territory to the city and county for the
next six or nine months.
In authorizing this transfer the re.
cent legislature provided 1t should
take place before July 1, 1914. but no:
until all contracts for the systems i'm.
pTovement, entered into by the terri
tory, should be completed and the al.
lotments set aside for the department
ale spent Several such contracts are
under way now, and until they are
completed and paid for the depart.
ment will remain under territorial
control.
Among these are the proposed pipe
line for the Punchbowl tract, the
equipment Of the Wilder avenue pump
ing station and the Palolo reservoir
site. These will require an expendi-
-ture of about $4,000, which the terri
tory will undertake to pay.
Discussing the subject today Gov
ernor Frear said it is possible still
further allotments for additional Inn
2rovements in the water system may
be made, If 1t is found that the work
can be finished before July / OF next
year.
THAT" said the governor, probably
will be one of the questions left for
my successor to decide"

Union massmeetings for the men OF
the city, to be held under the direction
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
'tion each Sunday evening for three
months beginning June Is, forms one
of the items in the schedule of sum-
mer activities drawn up at a special
meeting of the Inter-Church Fedora
tion in Cooke Hall, Young Mems
Christian Association, this noon.
Rev. A. M. Brodie. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church at Wichita,
Kansas, who comes to Honolulu next
month to fill the pulpit of Central
Union church in the absence of DR..
Doremus Scudder, has consented to
speak at number of mass meetings
which are being arranged by the
Inter-Church Federation to take place
during the three months which he
will remain here.
Rev. A. A. Ebersole, who leaves next
week for a five months trip to the
coast, rendered his resignation as
chairman of the Christian extension
committee of the Inter-Church Fedora
tion, which resignation was accepted
by the federation.
1t was also decided at the meeting
to start plans for an extensive church
membership campaign to take place
in the fall. This matter is to be more
fully discussed at the next meeting.

retained until such time as he
would retire for -other reasons,
think, on the whole. that l should
accept his resignation now, and
especially as preparations are
about to be made for the next
school year.
1.-TWO of the commissioners
we're only recently appointed to
fill unexpired terms and have not
become identified with either fac
tion. There was clearly no rea-
son for not retaining them, what
ever might be the-outcome OF this
investigation as to others. that l
have already reappointed them.
Their reappointments, like their
original appointments, may be re-
garded as part of the new deal."
Two OF the other commissioners
have been decidedly partisan in
the faction of the complainants
or aggressors. On the theory of
a fresh start, it is clear that they
should not be reappointed. The
case is not SO clear as to the re-
naming two commissioners.
These have both worked more on
the theory of harmony or live
and let live" or agreeing to dis
agree" where agreement was i'm
possible, and one of them was ap-
pointed comparatively recently,

siOner whose term mas not expired.
She was appointed April 20, lall, and
her term expires on June %, 1919, the
appointment having been originally
sent to the legislature of 1911 because
her commission was soon to expire
and the governor wished to continue
her in office. The appointments of
w. O. Aiken of Maui and w. II. Rice
of Kauai were also made on April 26,
1911, and expired on April %, 1913.
w. r. Farrington's appointment was
made on October 90, 1912, and the
term for which he was appointed eX-
pired yesterday, but. as in the case
of the others. he was not confirmed
by the senate.
Mrs. Wilcox Resigns.
Mrs. WilcOxs resignation was given
TO the governor this moreing, and thus
clean sweep is made.
The two commissioners from Hawaii
we're named only few months ago.
The legislative subcommittee To
which Governor Frear's report deals
at length, was composed of Represent
ative S. s. Paxson, chairman; Repre-
sentative Rufus Spalding and Senator
II. B. Penhallow. On April a, toward
the close of the legislature, this COM
mittee handed in long report which
condemned school conditions generally
and particularly the Pope administra-
ton.
Governor Frear's report today has
several things to say about the Pax
son report" as it was generally called.
Speaking of the conduct of the PaXson
investigation, the governor says, the
course that was pursued was hardly
suitable for an investigation OF the
department and the Normal School for

HARVARD head
.[By Latest MALL

CHICAGO-An early education and
an early marriage were advocated BY
President A. Lawrence Lowell Of HaT-
ward University, who addressed the
local alumni at their annual banquet
recently. The modern tendency TO
hold men in college until they have
reached a seasoned maturity was cited
as grave error by the speaker
"The right age to send boy to col
Iege is IL" said Mr.. Lowell. They
enter now when they are between Is
and 10, spend four years in college,
must then go to law school or medical
college and spend some time in get
ting actual experience consequently
1t is often late in life before they be-
come settled in profession or feel
themselves able to marry.
"A man is just as mature for our
urpose at II as he is az 10, he makes
friends quicker and he is more impress
sionable. His indiscretions are harm
less. 1t seems to me the less discip-
line he has the better man he Is. Send
the man of 40 to college and he will
go to the dogs, but send us in our boys
y hen they are II. and we'll guarantee
satisfaction or return the boy

town he went to St. Bouaventure's col-
 Iege. When he had completed his
 classical studies he entered the the
 ological department of the same instf-
 tuition, remaining there till the end or
 his divinity course. He was advanced
 to the priesthood at the seminary by Bishop Ryan of Buffalo at the Trinity ordinations in 1889. On August 14th
 of the same year he received his ap-
 pointnent as assistant to Lakeyille.3 The g years of priestly life have all bt en spent in that parish, of which he was made pastor December 31, 1891. Father Ramon probably has the dis tinction of being the only priest Of the diocese of Hartford who spent so many years as curate and pastor in the same parish. His work in LakeVille and out lying missions has been strenuous and fruitful. The same zeal which char acterized his long career in the Litch- field Hills will, no doubt, attend him at Willimantic, where broad and in viting field awaits him.
