G. G. Bockus asked the harbor COM

to build q board walk 500 feet long
from point just Waikiki of the Moa'

great amusement pier similar to those
of the big summer beach resorts on
the mainland.

length to the commission, showing
elaborate drawings Of the project. re-
sembles to large extent that of H.

Promotion Committee recently. The

financed BY himself and his hackers,
no assistance being sought from any
governmental or other public body
save the permission TO build 1t.
Starting from point quite close to
the Moana Hotels board walk Bockus'
pier would extend out at an angle
more directly toward Diamond Head,
to a point where there is an abun.

would construct "a great frame build

As the result of the reduction in the
tariff on sugar cane acreage was
greatly reduced in Hawaii last year,
preparatory to a general abandonment
of all but the very best plantations
when the free sugar clause becomes
effective IA 1916.
Then the war came, shutting out
of the worlds market nearly half of
the worlds product which is produced
in Central Europe, Great Britain be-
gan buying on great scale. families
in this and other countries began
buying sugar to hoard, and prices for
q time went booming. Such OF the
Hawaiian planters as had not con-
tracted their crop made q lot of
money, even at the prices to which
the product receded as soon as Great
Britain was supplied and families
ceased boarding
1t seems evident that prices of sug-
ar will not 60 lower than now while
the war lasts, and may somewhat in
crease. Great Britain will necessarily
be in the market again Within a few
months, and even If the war should
end earlier than is expected continent
al production must be much less than
formerly because al the land possible
Is being devoted to grain.
Consequently, hawaiian planters
have planted all the cane they could,
and 1t is said that with ordinary eli
matte conditions the crop Of 1915
win be much the largest on record.
That win be good for California as
well as Hawaii. as the trade Of the
Islands comes so largely to this port
The more money the islanders get
for their sugar the more they will be
able to buy Of us.
Besides. we wish the people of Ha-
wall to be prosperous for their own
sake, and apparently they are. ut any
rate, to have one year of respite from
impending Democratic doom. San

Madison, Wis, Dec Non-residents
OF the state should not be encouraged to
come TO the University of Wisconsin, it
was declared here Saturday in the report
OF the university survey. conducted by
William II. Allen of New York. The Law
ish habits of the 1000 nonresident stu
dents have bred extravaganza among
other students, he says, and also have
raised the cost of living at the univet-
sity.
1t is recommended that no nonresident
student be permitted to spend more than
5000 year, and that until arrangements
can be made to enforce some such regua-
ton nonresident students be discouraged
from entering a school kept up by state
taxation
The survey condemns compulsory mill
tary education at the university, saying:
The same time spent in teaching the
arts of peace and efficient citizenship
would do more to advance the interests
OF the state"
The report also criticized the univei
sity for accepting aid from the Carnegie

To Bring Georgia Mans
Case Before the Su-

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 2l,-Attorney fol
Leo NJ Frank, under death sentence al
Atlanta for the murder of Mary Phagan
Saturday made q second effort to bring
his conviction before the United States
supreme court for review. Federal Judge
w. T. Newman at Atlanta denied pc

be passed on oy Judge Newman to-day
There was some confusion regarding
the appeal, and it first was announced
that Judge Newman had granted it. The
Judge stated Saturday night, however,
that his announcement was that he was
"inclined to grant the appeal" Under a
federal statute a federal Judge in grant
ing an appeal in habeas corpus proceed
ings must issue a certificate stating that
in his opinion there is probable cause
for an appeal"
The habeas corpus writ was sought on
the ground that Franks constitutional
rights We're violated in that he was Sin
absent" from the courtroom
when the verdict was announced. The
prisoners attorneys argued that the
Georgia state courts lost jurisdiction in
the case when he was denied the right to
face the jury at the elimination of his
trial. They declared, therefore, that
Frank had been deprived of his liberty
without due process of law.
A writ for supreme court review of
the case was recently denied by both
state and federal courts in a proceeding
