CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Activity increased heavily on the Con-
solidated Stock Exchange coincident
with the market decline. Sales totalled
$3.50 shares. compared with 5000
shares on Tuesday. Stocks with the
heaviest volume were Reading, 1870
shares: United States Steel. 1880
shares; Amalgamated Copper 1880
shares; Union Pacific. 7.120 shares. and
American Can. 1000 shares. Liquidation
was plainly in evidence as prices gave
way in the late forenoon and early af-
ternoon The reaching Of stop loss or
ders added 20 the pressure OF offerings.
Many commission house lines were
closed out by disappointed holders. Busi-
ness opened at $3.50 o'clock with irregu-
larity reflected in the net price changes
compared with Tuesdays closings. Union
Pacific, Amalgamated Copper, Southern
Pacific Reading. New York Central and
Erie on the call all showed declines.
The market at hrst gradually sagged;
with real weakness developing toward
noon. Much attention was accorded 10
the further sharp advances in grain and
cotton, and the break In prices was very
generally referred TO as another crop
scare" In some trading quarters IL was
asserted that the market was rejecting
as well the cumulative effect OF the New
Haven disaster coming on the top or
other bad news. New Haven stock
touched a low price on the Consolidated
Of S92s. which compared with a New
York Stock Exchange low OF syl5
Union Pacific got down TO 1879, against
1899, on the other board. and Southern
Pacihc TO S9L. against S93s. New York
Central did not sell under "a. against a
low OF 937s on the other exchange. while
Readings low was 1879, against 1891.
and Amalgamated Copper's low 75A
against 1874. Erie did not get under
27a.. against 2712 and Can under 1914
against 33ik On the opening call Union
Pacific sold Mt 1852. Reading at l6l = and
Amalga mated Copper at 1874. In each
case we'll above the subsequent high
prices for those stocks on the New York

states that he has reason to believe
that there would be competition for

Later, Mr.. Tucker will take up the
matter of the opening of the Waimanu

able for Hawaiian homes. The land
commissioner appears to take kindly
interest in this proposition. He has
told the intending settlers that no one

SOME THINGS IN HIS
ANNUAL MESSAGE

With the aid of the members of the
coming legislature Governor Frear
hopes to be able during the approaching
session of that body to witness the en-
actment of legislation which in his opin'
ion has long been needed i'll this Ter
ritory. The Territory's Chief Executive
refreshed and rested after his recent
cruise to the islands in the western end
of his jurisdiction, so announced as he
took up his official duties yesterday af-
ternoon.
II am going right back to the har-
ness and in a way have already start

TO the next legislature viii embody ev-
cry problem and question which !
deem of Importance to the welfare of
the people of the Territory. At this
time, it is difficult to outline what il
will contain, but among other things
will recommend a Public Utilities Act.
This should he framed along the lines
which have proved of so much value 20
the States whese similar laws are now
in force. This act will give the Terri.
tory ample powers 10 regulate and di'
rect the public utilities corporations

4" A workmen = compensation law will
be another recommendation. ! have
given this considerable attention and
will urge the adoption Of the most pro-
gressiye measure New York, Illinois

RISKS LIFE FOR
VOLCANIC CASES
Doctor Shepherd of Government
Laboratory Gets Samples
for Analysis.
(From "Wednesday Advertisor)


DR.. L, S. Shepherd, the scientist who
spent many months Mt the Volcano of
Kilauea conducting heat experiments,
making several perilous desccnts into
the pit in the course of his work of
securing samples of gases left Hilo last
Friday and is registered at the Young
Hotel here on his return journey to
Washington, where he will do his labor
atory work.
The evening before his departure
from HilO he was the guest of honor
at a dinner given by Judge Parsons.
During his stay ON Hawaii Doctor
Shepherd made circle of Hilo friends
who will miss him greatly.
81 don t believe these experiments
will reduce the high cost of living, I"
said Doctor Shepherd yesterday after
noon, when asked what he thought
would be the benefits derived from the
analyzing of the gases he secured
from the pit of Halemaumau. "Of
course there will be benefits, every
effort results in some benefit, even
sweeping the floor has its benefits, but
| can not say yet what they will be.
| have the gases and when | get to
Washington they will be analyzed-then
we will know something more about the
interior workings of the earth | guess
that IS all.
Ceases can be obtained from the
edge of the volcano and many samples
have been taken but the gas we were
after was the gas which had not been
burned or mingled with other vapors
such as water, dust and smoke. be
lieve these are the first gases that
have ever been obtained from vol
cano. 1t is impossible to secure samples
from the volcanoes along the Mediter-
ranean because they are the explosive
kind, and so we chose the volcano on
! Hawaii.
:" Doctor Day came with me last May
and we secured our first samples; then
the volcano began to kick up and Doc
tor Day returned, leaving me to finish
up the work. If our tests and analyses
of the samples are not successful we
will return and try it over again. Our
idea in collecting the specimens was to
learn something more about the forma-
ton and chemical construction of the
I gases of the inner earth.'
This work was undertaken by the
geophysical laboratory of Washington,
with the assistance of Professor Jaggar
/ and Mr.. Wood of the Hawaiian vol.
cano laboratory.

CNiail Special to The Advertiser

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HlLO, January 6.-Foilow.ng right
on the heels OF the Volcano road Jail
scandal comes another sharp criticism
of local Jail conditions, the supervis-
ors adopting report roasting TO Il
crisp the administration of the Hilo
Jail. The report was prepared by SUI
pervisor Kauhane, who was recently
appointed committee to investigate
the lail, and 1t was adopted without a
single dissenting vote. 1t read in full
as fol ows
"Your committee appointed for the
purpose of investigating the conditions
existing at the Hilo Jail begs leave
to report as follows:
Unsanitary and Filthy.
con the 2nd IT January, 1913, your
committee, accompanied by Sheriff s.
X. Pua. visited the Hilo Jail and made
careful investigation and examination
of conditions at the said Jail The
place was found to be in a very UNI
sanitary and filthy state, Receptacles
containing slop and refuse, which ap'
peared not to have been emptied for
a considerable period, were lying near
that portion of the Jail which is used
by the prisoners as dining room.
From these receptacles issued consid-
cradle stencil.
Beriberi in Wards.
"Your committee found about eight
or ten prisoners suffering from sickness,
the symptoms of which indicated the
disease known as beriberi. Doctor s,
Yamamoto who was called to examine
these sick prisoners stated that one OF
them was badly affected by the said
disease. He further stated that others
if not given proper care Immediately
would become victims of the said
disease. He recommends that these
sick prisoners be separated from the
others in order to prevent the sale
disease from spreading.
Food Unfit.
GAS to the food furnished the pris
oners, your committee found that thu
same is not properly cooked and pre-
pared. Although there is no regular
hired cook, your committee feels tina
the TAILOR in charge of the Jail coulC
have the food cooked and prepared il
a proper manner by personally super
vising the prisoners directed to do thi
work.
Incompetent and Impertinent.
"For the unsatisfactory and dis
graceful state of affairs existing a
the Jail your committee directly place
the blame upon the iailor in charg
of the same. 1t seems that there ha
been much laxity upon his part in at
tending to his duties as such iailoI
His frequent requests for an increase o
his salary, in view of these circum
stances, are impertient, to say tn
least.
Work or Be Fired.
"Your committee recommends tina
the sheriff be notified and requested t
instruct the iailor to fully perform tn
work for which he is paid, and if afte
reasonable time conditions are no
remedied. 20 replace the said jailor b
one who would be more competent an
willing to carry out the work.
Your committee further recommend
that an appropriation be made for tn
erection of a small building to be use
as hospital for sick prisoners.

GOVERNOR FREAR
AND PARTY BATTLE

Literally chased ashore by school
of monster man-eating sharks, com
PEELED in their flight from the ferocious
selachians to empty their revolvers and
rifles at the charging creatures and es-
Gaping only when they had reached the
sandy beach of Pearl and Hermes Is
land, was, perhaps, the most exciting
feature of the long and interesting
cruise of Governor Walter f. Frear, for.
mer Attorney General Alex Lindsay and
David 7. F'ullaway, who returned yes
terday morning from Midway, Laysan
and intermediate islands on the United
States revenue cutter Thetis, Captain
G.. S. Cochran.
The Thetis, conveying Governor Frear
and party and several scientists, cleared
from Honolulu December 10 last, and
were away twenty-three days. Practi-
cally twenty days of this time was
spent at sea.
Some rough weather was experienced,
according to the returning pilgrims, but
tine trip was enjoyed and everyone had
good time. Mr.. Lindsay felt well as
long as he kept to his quarters, so it
was reported Several times he made
valiant efforts to accustom himself to
"
the ship, but it was difficult task.
Governor Frear and his companions,
however, were the picture of health
when they stepped ashore shortly after
noon Yesterday. The Thetis was sight
ed ten miles off shore early in the morn
ing. A salute of thirteen guns greeted
the voyagers as the Thetis dropped an
chor at its old berth in the harbor.
Everything Lovely.
Secretary Mott-Smith Attorney Gen
cral Thayer and number of friends
were present to greet the party.
Within an hour after his arrival, Gov
ernor Frear was at his Office in the Capt
toll ready to begin his official duties. His
Office had been prepared for his arrival,
a massive bouquet of American Beauty
roses and other floral offerings banking
the mantle near his desk. Despite the
mountain of work which awaited him,
he found time to discuss the trip.
eve had grand time he said.
"Though we made only brief stops Of
few hours at each Of the islands we
had an opportunity TO observe much and
had several mild adventures The bath
ing in the lngoons was one of the pleas
ant features. The great stretches Of
smooth. sandy beaches excelled even
our Waikiki
The Governor did not attempt 10
take any credit for the experience with
the man.eating sharks at Pearl and
Hermos Island. This Is a submerged
island, surrounded by "A reef, some miles
from Leysan. Portions Of the island
appear Just above the water The
Thetis dropped anchor outside the reef
and for six miles Governor Frear and
