Honolulu's long-deayed federal building is
beginning to wear upon the patience of good
Iany citizens. Yet this is not the only commII-
nifty whose troubles of the kind would have
ransed Jobto lose his reputation. Listen, for
Instance, to the lusty kick voiced by Representa-
tive Frank clark of Florida and spread upon
the pages Of the Congressional Record:
sThere is probably not member upon This
floor who has been here for six years or more
0nless he represents adistrct in one of our large
titles, who has not building authorized for his

said the force was reduced in the supervising

the real reason for the work being SO far behind.

Without consulting Congress- issued an order
that not exceeding $12,OO0,000 should be ex

one year. No matter what amount a public
building bill might carry, no matter what Con-
sress said should be done. the order of the see

his way about it. Take the last bill passed by
congress- the act of March 1, 1913. BY that act

this plan of the treasury department. if we had
a clean start. it would require four years in

it any wonder that the supervising architects

REGULATING Tue PEDESTRIAN

The new traffic ordinance will probably he
ready for first reading before the board of super
yisorS tonight The subject of traffic regula-
lion, OF safeguards for vehicles and pedestrians,
has been before the community almost constant
ly.for four or five years. AS a result of the
many fatal and many more serious accidents'0n
Honolulu's streets and roads, the problem Of
handling traffic expeditously and at the same
Time safely is recognized as large problem.
Several Of the proposals made have been in
the line of restricting pedestrians. For in
stance, ii is proposed to pass measure prohibit.
ing pedestrians from crossing streets except at
street intersections. In trying to regulate pc
lestrian traffic the supervisors will do well to
remember that grave question of constitutions
atty may he brought up. Several mainland cit
les have abandoned attempts 10 prohibit pedes-
Ilian traffic from crossing the streets In one
Iarge Coast city few months ago, ii was pro-
posed to keep children from playing in the
streets or crossing streets except at fixed places
The city's legal advisers held that such a meas
nIe would not be constitutional for the reason
That all Of the street or streets belong to all Of
the people and not only TO those who are suffi-
fiently prosperous to own or operate autno-
hilcs
The situation is unusually difficult in Homo
lulu, as every motorist knows, because of the
numbers Of Orientals particularly children,
sNarming on narrow streets and often entirely
Needless of vehicle traffic.

Unless exceedingly good reason is shown for
the granting of another liquor license in the
city of Honolulu, the license commissioners
should maintain the policy they announced
some months ago in refusing an application from
Japanese businessmen. At that time the cues
ton was not upon the character of the appli-
c;,nts or of the business proposed, but solely
upon the ACCESSIBILITY of adding to the places in
the city where liquor is sold 1t was decided not
to add.

sswhen Freddie Welsh put that little joker in his set of conditions, insist ing that I should make 1sS pounds rineSide if I wanted a return match he gave the real tip off on his ideas of getting into the ring with me again
 Such was the declaration of Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion, when the question of another match was put up to him shortly, after he left the vAterland at Hoboken Wed nesday afternoon. Ritchie would ask nothing better than a match with Welsh in America, he declared, add ing that a repetition Of his work against the Eynglishrnan at Olympia would gain him the decision from any referee or set of newSpapernnen in America. He said there was no truth in the report that he had arranged for a return bout before the other one was fought.

CHANGE IS CLOSED I'D HELP
 SUSTAIN CREDIT s

London, July s1-The London stock Exchange has been closed until fur ther notice The decision to close the exchange was taken by the committee at meeting. this morning.
 The committed also announced that the settlement due August has been postponed, and that the consoi set- clement due August has been put oyer until September. Stocks that have yet to abe delivered for the ac- count just closed must, however, be paid for.
 The chief reasons for the unprece- denteds action of the London Stock Exchange comnnitte was the fact that the system of credit had practically broken down and 1t was impossible to carry on business in the ordinary way. This situation did not arise through over-speculatlon but because bankers could not collect margins which had been rapidly shrinking while at the same time the continent continued to pour stock into London
 Bankers here had been trying for days to get their customers to take up this stock, but the impossfbiiity of finding cash and the inability to sell the securities caused credit business automatically to cease and the clos ing Of the exchange became neces- sary.
 The banking situation in London has become 50 abnormal that it is un- derstood Sthe British cabinet at it's meeting today discussed the possf5il- ity of taking measures to prevent panic, The Bank Of England was to-. day charging 10 per cent. for weekly advances-an unprecedented rate.

 It had been generally expected that the order for the mobilization of the German army and navy would be is- sued last night. The governraent's s postponement of this drastic acticn gave rise today to hopes that some thing might happen to avert the neces.
 The general feelinr throu xhout Germany was. however. that only a miracle could prevent war. ana am other anxious day of waiting for the dissolution of existing doubts as to whether the crisis would result ira peace or war was passed by bankers, business men and the laboring Glasses, the latter of whom would have to bear the brunt of the burden in case hostilities should be decided on.

 The financial markets reflected the general pessimism. Trading has been almost suspended for cash business and even this Is listless. Money Is most impossible to obtain and 1t ts known that at least a dozen brokerage and banking firms are in difiiculties and suspensions are apprehended,
 American visitors, after at first treating runnors of war lightly, have begun to realize the gravity of the situation. Their German friends oc- cupying influential positions have ad- vised them to quit the country at once as a mobilization order might tie up the railroads at any moment.
