Is Difficult to Punish.

The recent attack on Prime Minister
Asquith in the house Of commons, when a
young man associated with the suffra-
gettes threw bag Of flour at him, has
again drawn attention to the awkward
situation Of the house in dealing with
such interruptions.
The house Of commons can summon to
the bar and examine and cross-exam mine
those who offend against It's rules. but
any proceedings of this kind must have
the formalities of trial and would in
volve the right to deliver to the house a
speech in defense. In the view of the
government, defensive address thus de-
livered would be too big an advertise
ment for the cause, so any action along
this line has been avoided. Or course,
Mr. AsQuith could take out summons
for assault. but as he would then have
to appear as a witness in a police court
and would be subject to crOss-examina-
ton, there is no possibility of his taking
this step. The outcome, especially II there
appears any danger OF repetition OF the
disorder. is likely to be the closing OF
the strangers gallery, as was done last
year.
The government. some years ago. gave
the house an opportunity OF Increasing
its powers to deal with such offenders.
but. probably for fear that 1t might inter-
fere with demonstrations by members
themselves, the proposal was voted down.
Few Go to Australia.
There has been a remarkable falling
off in emigration from Great Britain to
the Australian colonies during the pres
ent year. according to the steamship
companies concerned in this traffic. It is
put down to the present high level Of
wages and the continued trade boom
which give men employment In England.
Despite this. however. Canada continues
10 get a Very large number of emigrants
from England and Scotland. SO there are
probably other causes for the decrease
in the Australian figures,
This loss in traffic has been felt rather
seriously by the steamship lines running
to the South seas. Last year there was a
tremendous demand for passages to Aus
tralia and New Zealand. and to meet
this trade the steamship companies in
creased the accommodations on each yes
sci and also put on new steamers. To-
day the ships are running very light
even on reduced schedules.

LONDON. June %, 1918.
The spread of gambling among the
English people, both men and women, is
causing serious and growing concern. No
measures yet have been devised to stop
the habit, which rapidly Is becoming
more and more of a menace. On all big
races practically everybody, from the
newsboy on the street to the peer in his
motor, has something on his favorite
horse. and even On the everyday race
an immense amount In the aggregate fs
wagered. Latterly 1t has been disclosed
that women working in Offices and res
taurants in the city have become as in
veterate gamblers as the men and boys
Nowadays both men and women, during
the afternoon hours. are distracted from
their work by their anxiety over the re-
suits of the races, and employers COM
plain in vain.
The house Of commons, with a view OF
curbing this increase in the betting habit,
passed law prohibiting commission
agents from accepting money on a bet,
but this was easily evaded by the agents
carrying wageis on credit system, set
ting once a week.
Boys Bet Their Shillings.
AS the system worksP today any boy
with shilling to bet on a horse can go
to almost any newspaper seller and get
his money down. Another measure to
overcome this condition was met by op-
position from the workingman, who
claimed for himself the same privileges
and opportunities accorded his wealthy
neighbor, who can wager as Il eely as he
likes by either going to the track or tele-
phoning his commission agent.
The complaint is made also that gam
bling is spelling golf. At most Of the big
clubs today members will not play unless
assured Of a good side bet on the result.
1t started with half a. dollar a round, but
at some clubs a game is seldom played
for less than $25. $50 or even 500 q
round. The professional, too. who gets
his fee for taking a novice around, now
wants wager on the result. Even II he
gives the novice all he deserves, the pro-
feSsinnal generally win

Voting Machines for solons.

The president OF the Austrian chamber

of an electric voting machine for use in
the house.

buttons on his desk. one marked pro

posite the presidents chair an indicator
is fixed consisting of SIC glass tablets,
numbered 1 to SIG. These tablets are
normally dark. but when a vote is taken
each shows either a white light. for
pro" or a red light for contra" Each
member has a number corresponding to
one on the board. and can therefore per-
sonally check the. accuracy of his vote.
An automa tic apparatus counts the vote,
and the totals are shown on another in

shown on the glass tablets in either
white or red letters. In case of a secret
vote the glass tablet indicator is switched

New Underground City.

new underground city OF London 10
planned to relieve the congestion of traffic
of our streets, and before long We shall
probably only see the light Of the sun
Sundays and holidays when We are not
working.
The plan of the new London has been
mapped out by Mr.. Walter Emden. for
mer mayor of Westminster, who proposes
to construct streets in arches under our
existing thoroughfares.
The midd of these subterranean
streets he would use for vehiclar traffic.
and more particularly for street cars. The
side paths h would set aside for pedes-
TRANS. In addition. he would make IL
possible for business men who owned the
Easements on either side OF the under
ground thoroughfares TO open shop fronts.
Further, in those underground streets
where there were no shops the wall on
one side OF the sidewalk could be hol-
low, thus admitting all the service tubes
for gas. water. etc. Access underground
would be obtained by means of stair
cases placed at certain intervals Mr.
Emden wants these underground ways
constructed under all the streets which
at present carry very heavy traffic. such
p aces, for instance, as the Strand, Hol-
born and Cheapside.

Tunnel Under Channel.

The proposal to drive a tunnel under
the English channel between England
and France, which for years was Op-
posed by military men on the ground
that it would destroy the isolation OF
England, is now being taken up seri-
ously with better chance Of going
through than ever before.
The advance in flying made in recent
years has already virtually taken
away the advantage Of isolation. but
even more than this the good relations
now existing between England and
France have overcome the opposition
to the scheme. The government Is
being urged to take the matter up
seriously; people who cross the chan
mel frequently favor the plan, and the
railways. that have to keep up costly
steamers for the channel service, are
not opposed to the tunnel idea, for
they know that. with the abolition of
the much-dreaded channel crossing by
sea, passenger traffic would increase
immensely

Six Months
For Masher

Yesterday morning, at the police
court, Judge Mckay gave a Fill
pino we'll deserved Jail sentence
of six months. The man was tried
under the 'vag' act and, as it was
shown that he not only was loafer,
but also a nuisance to the town,
the judge sent him away where he
won't trouble outsiders much for
some time to come.
1t appears that the Filipino has
been hanging around the home of
we'll known Wailuku man, and
has been trying to get young girl
to speak to him. He has even
written notes to the girl and in
them has asked her to meet him.
The father of the girl-she is
only twelve years of age-was told
of the matter and he at once in
formed the police. The girl has
been afraid to go outside her home
for some weeks past.

HONOLULU, Aug. Is. The
week opened up with material for
a chamber of horrors and the pub
lie have not opened their eyes to a
realization Of the enormity of the
doings since three o'clock Sunday
morning, when a man killed his
chum when under the influence of
liquor. Never in Honolulu has
there been a stronger argument for
the suppression of the liquor traffic,
nor was there ever a time when de-
cent people speak louder in their
might against the continuation of
of the Puahi dance hall. Marshall
who did the killing, is said to be &
man of splendid disposition, courtly,
frank and in every way the per-
sonification of the Southern gentle
man. What is said of the character
of Marshall is repeated when Guert-
Ter is spoken of. Whiskey was at
the bottom of it, and it looks very
bad for the murderer though no one
believes he had any intention of
killing the man who now lies in the
morgue. That he meant to shoot
some one is evidenced by his going
blocks and blocks away for his re-

Makes Thinqs
Still Worse
Young Man Confesses to Thefts
and Then Tries to Kill
Himself.

Deputy Sheriff Ferreira got the
shock of his life when, on Tuesday
last, a young man named Eddie
Kaimiola, who was under arrest,
attempted to commit suicide in an
outhouse at the back of his home
iii Kahului. The would-be suicide
tried to cut his throat with a pen
knife, and would have succeeded
only for the vigilance of the deputy
sheriff. AS it was, the wound in
flicted was not very severe, although
the young man had to be taken to
the Wailuku hospital for treatment.
From the story told by the
police, it seems that Kaimiola was
caught, red-handed, in a theft
from the Puunene Store, in which
he was employed as a clerk. There
had been suspicious arouse
through shortage in the stock,
and when Kaimiola was seen walk
ing out of the store with a large
ham and some other stuff that had
never been charged up, it was
