SAVING BIRDS By TARIFF

Lovers. of wild nature, unspOiled for CONNER
cia gain, will rejoice over one feature of the new
Wilson Underwood tariff bill. In this bill there
is provision prohibiting the importation not
only of aigrette and egret plumes, but also of the
feathers skins, quilts, ETC., of all wild birds with
the exception of the ostrich.
In spite of vigorous protest made in Wash
ington by representatives of the big milliners
and clothiers of the country, it seems certain
that this provision will remain in the tariff bill.
1t was inserted through the efforts of the Audu-
bon Society and William T. Hornaday, the noted
zoologist The milliners seeing their future ac-
tivities confined to the plumage of domestic fowl
and such other birds as may be killed in this
country, carried their case to Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means committee,
but to their surprise found that Mr.. Underwood
and,his associates seemed heartily in favor of the
clause on humanitarian grounds.
The milliners say, with some truth, that it is
hard to- see why the feathers of wild birds killed.
for their flesh should not be imported. The
trouble is, however, that the bird-hunters must
constantly be held in check They will not OBJ
serve the laws if they can safely violate them
The commercial traffic in aigrettes and other
plumes has been responsible for horrible cruel
ties to wild bird life For years the Audubon So
ciety has striven to bring home to women the
facts of birds MANNED and tortured that madame
and madamoiselle might have handsome plumes
for their hats but the trade in plumes has not
perceptibly diminished. 1t is gratifying to know
that America is about to take step that will
end much of the sordid and careless trafficking
built up solely to play on the vanity of milli-
merry customers

Will
HAVE OFFICE ON
ARMY ROW

Major W. P. Wooten, corps of en-
gineers, who is department engineer,
in addition to holding half a dozen
other army titles, is to have an Of
flee on "army row. in the Young
Hotel. In his capacity as the en-
gineer member of the department
staff, Major Wooten will occupy this
office, and will have a civilian clerk
assigned to him. In his several other
capacities in connection with river
and harbor work, Notifications, and
other duties not directly connected
with the department administration,
he will continue to transact business
at the present engineer headquarters
in the McCandlesS building.
The addition of two more rooms
across the hall from the long line OF
offices at army headquarters one
for Major Wooten's use and one to
be used as library and board room
gives the Hawaiian department an
official home equal, If not superior,
to that of any.of the five other geo
graphical divisions of the army. The
rooms are cool and we'll ventilated,
and after months of cramped quart
ers, the renting of additional rooms
recently authorized, has given plenty
of room for all the officers of the
department and brigade staff.
The private telephone exchange,
on which electricians have been
working for several weeks, will be
ready for business this afternoon or
tomorrow, and for the present two
trunk lines will give fifteen offices
with the city and long
distance wires. There is room on the
board for nine trunks in ALL and when
necessary more will be added.

UNFAIR TO HAWAII

Misconceptions of present-day Hawaii else
where often seem strange to the people of this
territory but after seeing the moving picture
films at the opera house last night, one can
not blame mainlanders for any misconception of
island conditions, however ludicrous.
One series shown last night may be justly
resented by every resident here and most certain
Nv should notbe shown on the mainland as pOr-
travail either of present or past conditions here.
To those who have lived i'm Hawaii, the scenes
shown are merely foolish, for they are obviously
not scenes of Hawaii at all, but of some spot on
the coast Not only is native dress and manner
SO badly handled as to. be funny, but the thin
thread of the alleged plot, dealing with threat
ened uprising among the natives" against the
american planters" is laughable as a present
ment of Notwithstanding sentiment.
The pictures, while offending good taste To-
cally, are hardly to be taken seriously when
shown here, but they may do much harm when

UNCLE SAM and MEXICO


Uncle Sans hesitation over the recognition of
Gen Huerta and the latest Mexican administers
ton is explained by an unofficial but probably
inspired statement from Washington given wide
publicity in the mainland papers. According to
this statement, "the United States government
demands as the consideration for extending the
provisional administration official countenance,
acceptance by Mexico of an international COM
mission to pass upon all claims for damages sus-
tanned by foreigners either to persons or prop
erty, since the beginning of the revolutionary
disorders in the republic. Washington insisted
upon this. While intimatOns which lacked moth
ing in clearness have been made along this line
to Mexico, they have been so diplomatic as not
to offend the dignity of the government or strain
the relations between the two countries.
"Washington is playing shrewd diplomatic
game. President Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan saw in Huerta's anxiety for recognition
an opportunity to place the important and trou-
blesome question of the settlement of foreign
claims upon a basis which will be decidedly more
satisfactory not only to Washington but to Eng
land, France, Germany, Spain and other Euro
pean governments than it is at present.
s1While Mexico has never shown any inclina-
ton to shirk responsibility SO far as foreign
claims are concerned, circumstances have oper-
ated to prevent the expediting of settlement to
the extent that Washington desired. Taft and
Knox shillyshallied over the matter and did
nothing. Left to his own devices, Ambassador
Wilson took the trouble to interest himself in
few, if any, claims save those in which friends
and persons he liked were interested One of the
first things the Huerta government did when it
took hold was to pledge itself to prompt adjust
ment and payment of claims, especially those of
Americans
''Washington's desire to get the matter shaped
SO that something definite may be accomplished
is due in no small measure to the polite but
somewhat persistent and pointed interrogations
to Secretary Bryan by foreign gov
ernments All look to the United States to in
duce Mexico to pay up.
Gas outlined to the Mexican foreign ministry,
Washngton's proposition is simple, being predi-
Gated upon Mexico's repeated declarations ac-
cepting responsibility and promising payment.
''The joint commission proposed is to consist
of representatives of Mexico, the United States,
duu pOoSIuly
two or three other countries. BY International
agreement it will consider all claims and its de-
cision, when accepted by the respective govern
ments shall be final.
'Whether Mexico will enter into this bargain
cannot now be predicted. 1t is certain that thel
idea does not appeal to her to such degree as
to warrant the expectation that she will give it
prompt, enthusiastic approval"
