WINNING GROUP
Banana Claimants Who Score
a Victory Number 1872
Get Cash Quickly

Seven hundred and sixty-two ban
ana claimants may now join with
Mayor Joseph Fern in joyous
Thanksgiving. That number of Hon
olulu citizens have the opportunity Of
receiving cash for their claims today,
tomorrow or Saturday or just as soon
as they choose to present their judg-
ments to the commissioners now sit
ting in the senate chamber at the cap
itol building.
The commissioners began the issu-
ance of copies of the certified judg,
ments at 10 o'clock this morning and
in two hours had distributed just 113
of these to the property holders whose
claims have been aGJudicated. The
auditor promptly issued warrants in

about $4,000 in cash. At this rate all
the judgments will be distributed and
the entire amount paid out of the ap-
preparation, $4,000 in all, by the time
the treasurers office closes Saturday
noon.
The commissioners will sit two
hours this afternoon, from to
O'Clock, and the same hours will be
observed Friday and possibly Satur-

urday cannot be cashed, however, un-
til next week, as the treasurer's office

AUSTRALIA SENDING
BUTTER TO HONOLULU

Two large shipments of Australian
butter have come into Honolulu since
the new tariff law, reducing the duty
on that commodity from to 213 cents
per pound, went into effect and Food
Inspector and Chemist A. w. Hanson
announces today, after examination of
these, that both shipments are slight
ly below standard, although whole
some and by no means injurious.
The shipments are from the New
Zealand Dairy Association and the
Male Creamery. of New Zealand.
Hanson fiuds the product innocent of
preservatives. which are always OBJ
Jectionable, and to be ordinarily good.
He says, however, that they contain
about 2 percent too much water and
are about IL to 2 per cent too low
in butter fat. This means that while
it is not quite as nutritious as stand
ard butter should be. it is in danger
of spelling quickly, the presence of
water being responsible for that.

new FRANCHISE
BILL ACCEPTABLE
TO R. 7. COMPANY

Copies of the latest franchise bill
of the Rapid Transit Company have
reached here, and, according to an un-
official statement from officials OF
the street-railway company, the meas
ure now meets their approval.
The new bill is H. r. 1922, intro
duced on October % in behalf of Del.
egate Kalanianaole, and has been re-
ferred to the committee on terrific
ries. The bill introduced the previous
month, it will be remembered, was
found to have an added section
which the street-railway company
could not accept. as it placed repeal
Of the franchise in the hands Of the
territorial legislature at almost any
time
AS the bill now stands, it is be-
lieved to conform in every particular
to the form of the grant as it was ap-
proved by the legislature last spring,
and as such, is acceptable to the
Rapid Transit Company.
The Merchants Association has re-
ceived Acknowledgement of its reso-
lutions sent to Congress urging early
action on the bill.

HILO RAILROAD
GETS 100000
HAUL CONTRACT
SIGNS with PhiIadeIDhia Com
pany for Carrying BreakWater
Stone from kapoho

Under the terms of contract signed
In washington two weeks ago, the
Hilo railroad will haul for the Hilo
breakwater 200, 600 tons Of rock from
the Kapoho quarry at 81 ton.
News Of this big contract reached
the Star-Bulletin indirectly from
washington and was confirmed today
at the Offices Of the Hilo railroad in
the Stangewald building. Though
local representatives of the railroad
have been notified that the contract
was signed, the contract itself has not
vet reached here. :i-
Lorrin Thurston, general manager
OF the railroad, Walter F. Dillingham;
and Governor Frear, the latter in a
legal capacity, were all in Washing.
ton when the deal was completed,
The Breakwater Company Of Philadel.
phia. which has the Hilo job, is the
other party to the hauling contract.
The Kapoho quarry Is owned by
the Lyman estate and it is estimated
that the Philadelphia concern will
have to pay from 7h to 10 cents a
ton royalty on the stone. Local con-
tractors cannot figure how the total
cost of putting the stone In place on
the breakwater will come to much
less than s2.75 ton, and as the con
tract price with the government is
for about 100000 tons at SAT-, II can
readily be seen that the eastern com
pany is dropping a large amount OF
money.
Under the new arrangement effect
ed by Ed Lord, president of the Lord
Young Engineering Company, Lord
will assume the management on the
Hilo job at once and handle 1t to com
pletion. 1t Is understood that the ar
rangement 'is such that the Lord
Young company is virtually assuming
control. -9 -

SAYS WILSON,
PROBE MAY Tend
IOUNCERTAINTY
Letter from Large Financial
House Brings Reports on the
Threatened Investigation

How the business and financial sit
uation is judged by the men in the
large financial centers is given briefly
in letter received by one of the large
financial houses of Honolulu from its
New York correspondent. This letter
is given in full and is as follows:
...- October 23rd, 1913.
Gentlemen Since writing you last
month the course of bond prices has
been rather irregular without any
pronounced tendency in either direc-
tion. Some issues, largely higher
grade bonds, show small advances,
while others are somewhat off in
price. The demand for investments
does not seem as good as it was. In
many instances it is found that the de-
mand is only for very few bonds and
if an attempt is made to sell a block
falls away.
Our local money market remains
decidedly easy for this period of the
year, call money just now ruling about
3k per cent and time money from
Az per cent to per cent. If the
banks can control the situation for an
other month, as now seems probable,
the crop-moving season should pass
off very easily without any particular
stringency. 1t is probable that if nee
essary we could draw gold from Eu
rope as foreign exchange rates in the
last few days have declined practical
ly to the import point. If it were not
for the more urgent demands in Lon
don evidenced by the recent raise in
the Bark Of England rate, it is likely
that engagements of gold shipments 10
this side would have been made before
row.
Phe tariff bill as a source of un
certainty has now been removed but
the results from its enactment are OF
course still problematiCal. A disquiet-
ing note for businessmen was the an
made last week that the
president had approved the plans of
the secretary of commerce for an in
into the acts of manufac-
turers who may close their factories
or reduce wages on the plea that such
is made necessary by the
enactment of the new tariff law. Such
an investigation would probably be
very unsettling matter"
