PLAN
AS OUTLINED BY
SPENCER Bowen
BY A. e. LARIMER,
Secretary Mems Department.

SCCl "tCtt .
As one who has borne some of the
brunt of the unemployed in Honolulu,
/ am glad to make a statement heart
lily endorsing the program of relief
work on the roads as advocated by
w. Spencer Bowen and the other Off
Gals of the Associated Charities. 1t
is imperative that something be done
at once toward relieving the employ
ment situation. Two hundred or more
able-b bodied men are willing to work
but have small prospects Of securing
it for the next two or three months
when the canning season and probable
developments at Pearl Harbor should
absorb the surplus labor supply.
Over 30 of these men, most of them
with families, are now in destitute cir
cumstances. Many others are rapidly
approaching this state. The planta-
tons simply can not use this excess
labor and no other employers. are in
the market for help during the COM
ing two months or so. 1t seems to
me and to others who have studied
the problems that there are lust three
outcemes to the present situation.
]. . Raising a public relief fund to be
administered by the Associated Ghari-
ties. This is uneconomical for there
is absolutely no return to the commu-
nifty. It is humiliating to many of the
recipients who are willing and able
to work and do not wish for charity
2. Let the people who are unempIoy-
ed and without funds, go out and beg
or steal and thereby fall into the
clutches of the law and go to Jail for
vagrancy or other charges. This saves
the community no money in the long
run and is absolutely disastrous to
the families of the men who are forced
to commit crime. 1t must not be al
lowed to happen. r.. ....s.t.-.
3. Provide relief work of some sort
administered by the Associated Chart
ties whereby unemployed labor can Sc
cure chance to work for the necessi-
ties of life on a useful project such as
road repairing and at the same time
not come into conflict with regular
free labor. T.. 49,. -.... ..s>s.
The details of such a project have
already been worked out with some
care by Mr.. Bowen with the aid of
James D. Dole. r. d. Mead. r. A.
Kearns and a number of others ia
miliar with the subject. All that is
needed is the realization of the COM
munity that cur employment problem
is temporarily very serious and de-
mands quick action Then the CO
operation of all in this plan which
meets the approval of large body of
citizens and is only to be put into
oDeration after a meeting of large en-
ployers, local officials and others who
are experts on labor matters,
Our roads are much in need of ad-
ditional repairs and large number Of
laborers are much in need of work
Let's Law aside cur differences of oDin-
ion and support this measure of relief
employment which is to he handled un-
selfishly and wisely by the Associated
Charities through a carefully selected
committee of citizens.

BLUE SKY LAW
 IS ATTACKED
Iowa Would Stop All WiIdcattins and Selling of Stock to Citizens
 of That State.

KEOkUK, la, April 24-lowa's s Blue Sky law, passed by the last gen. eral assembly, to prevent the foreign bank, land and mining promoters from taking money out of the state for wild cat schemes, is being tested here to- day in the federal court before Judges Smith, McPherson and Pol lock.
 The law demands that foreign com panies, before they can do business in the state, must convince the sec retary of state that their scheme is legitimate and they may secure a certificate.
 District Judge McHenry, of Des Moines, has declared the law uncon- stitutional and the state has appeal ed this case to the supreme court. Enemies of the law have attacked it on the same grounds in the federal court, which is the case being heard today.

VISITED
 BY A BIG FIRE
Three Thousand Beef Animals Lost in the Flames.

PEORIA, H., April 21.-Three busi- ness blocks in this city were burned to the ground last night and 5000 head of cattle owned by the Nelson Norris Packing Co. were cremated. The loss is estimated at more than a half million dollars.
 The fire department was helpless, as the high wind blowing at the time prevented them from controlling the flames, in spite of the fact that ev- cry fire engine in the city was at the scene in less than an hour.
 Special trains with fire companies from surrounding towns and from Pekin were rushed to the city to help fight the flames, which threatened at one time to destroy the business sec tion of the town.
 When the fire reached the river the firemen were able to control the con- f1agration.
 The cattle were caught in the cat tie pens and nothing could be done to save them, and the, police re- fused to allow the wild animals to be turned into the city unless the com pany was prepared to protect the fire men and the citizens of the city from attack by the frenZied steers Be fore arrangements could be made to corral the animals and secure the necessary cowpunchers to surround them the fire had swept into the pens and they were lost.
 A few escaped into the city and caused much excitement.

GAS TANK EXPLODES;
 MANY ARE KILLED
Dining Room of Canadian Hotel Torn
 and Scores Inured

MACOUN, Sask., April 21.-The gas plant in the Macoun Hotel of this city exploded here last night just as the dining room was crowded with diners and eleven people were killed when the dining hall collapsed and more than a dozen are in the local hos pitfalls and several of them are in a dangerous condition.
 The big gas plant used to light the building was located near the dining hall and when the explosion came the floor of the room was lift ed up and then fell back, bringing the four walls with it and covering all the occupants. Fortunately no fire followed the explosion and the rescue workers started at once to re- lease the men and women caught in the debris. Many were hurt, eleven were killed outright and a score in jured severely.
 An investigation will be made by the police to determine the respon- sibility for the terrible losss of life. The manager of the hotel has been arrested charged with manslaughter.

PARIS, April 21.-Thousands of spectators witnessed collision be- tween Aviator Deroy and Aviator Dablin, who collided in mid air with their big aeroplanes. The crowds saw the two machines come together while travelling at the rate of 90 miles an hour; saw the sudden stopping of the two big air craft, the explosion of the tanks of gasoline and the wreckage dropping to the ground hundreds of feet below.
 Both aviators were cremated, the flying gasoline setting fire to their clothing and when the wreckage was separated nothing but the charred remains of the two airmen could be found.
 Many in the crowds were hysteri- cal, women crying and screaming and running from the field. The police and troops had considerable difficulty in preventing a panic when the crowds tried to rush from the grand stands.

HOPE vAN|SAES
 FOR MISSING BOAT
Southern Cross With 173 Fishermen Now Long Overdue, Caught in
 Terrific Storms.

ST. JOHNS, F., April 21.-Al hope for the 173 men on the sealing ship, the Southern Cross, which was caught in the terrific blizzard which ragged off this coast the last of March, and never seen since, has been aban- doned. Government steamers have been searching the ice foes and hunting along the coast for signs of the missing steamer. When last seen the Southern Cross was driving be- fore the gale heavily laden with catch of 17,000 seals. So deeply lad en was the boat that all her provis- ions were stored upon the deck and also the bunker coal, to make room tor the load of seals, which is said to be one of the largest catches of recent years.
 The steamer New Foundland was also caught in the storm, crushed in the ice foes and the crew forced to take to the ice, where TT of them perished and 35 are now in the Gren- field hospital. Three of those in the hospital have lost both hands and feet, five lost both feet. Eight others lost ii foot and eleven will lose hand or fingers. The sealers were on the ice for 60 hours before rescued by other sealers and by men from shore.
 The loss of the two boats has left 1000 dependents in the sealing col any without any support Hardly a family but has lost father or sons and were caught in the wreck of the New Foundland and lost.

 MANY STRIKERS
Fourteen Coal Miners Lose Lives in Battle With Colorado Nation
 al Guard.

TRINIDAD. Colo, April 21.-A bat tie lasting for If hours was fought yesterday in the Ludlow strike dis trict, between the strikers from the coal mines and the national guard.
