Recent advices from Washington confirm alb
solutely the exclusive story printed by the Star
Bulletin on February that the contractors
would be relieved of financial responsibility for
the loss when the big structure collapsed. The
Noble report is really the basis for this decision,
and the notifications have been changed enough
so that the Hawaiian Dredging Company, con-
tractors are not held liable for the disaster, the
original specifications being partially aban-
dOned.

EDITOP

On many it is asserted that a large proportion
of immigrants from Europe are unfit for work
in Hawaiian canefields, and it is from this ele-
ment, according to observation, that the ranks
of the unemployed in Honolulu are now being
recruited
The territory is in duty bound to return to
their homes in Europe such of the assisted i'm
migrants as become public charges at any time
within three years after their arrival here. This
duty holds good whether the immigrant is pub
lie charge on a community in Hawaii, California
or anywhere else in the United States. But it
will cost twenty or thirty thousand dollars to
return to Spain and Portugal the immigrants
that already are practically public charges here.
A supervisor injected some Democratic poll
tics into the discussion last night by stating that
the party had predicted this state of affairs two
years ago and that the plantations want this
surplus of labor in order to scale down wages.
Coming from Democrat, this is a surprisingly
foolish statement and in any case it is not fair.
One of the reasons why the Hawaiian plan
tations are unable now to absorb the present
surplus of labor is the Democratic party-that
party's blow to the island sugar industry and
the consequent retrenchment in plantation man
agement.
A good deal has been said-mostly whispered
recently to the effect that the plantations
here are continuing to import hundreds of Fill
pinos in spite of the obvious oyerplus of labor.
The facts are that the planters have practically
stopped their work of recruiting labor in the
Philippines A comparatively small number are
now on the way, but the operations of the Phil
ippine branch of the labor bureau have been al
most suspended Furthermore, it is not the Fill
ipinos who make up the "army of the unem-
ployedn The Associated Charities reports that
no Filipinos are public charges so far
as its work would show.
The planters are under no obligation to re-
employ laborers who have left their jobs. But if
the planters can find means to take back these
Spanish and Portuguese, it will aid greatly to
end growing trouble and will give evidence
that the planters association is going out of its
way to help people that, directly or indirectly,
have been brought into this territory at the in
stance of the plantation interests
There was not the slightest occasion for any
supervisor to intimate that the offer of the As
sociated Charities was due to any other motive
than a sincere desire to relieve distress. The
Charities made its offer in good faith, with no
Interior motive. Perhaps at the city hall this
alone is enough to cause hesitation and suspi-
cion!
At any rate, the supervisors have chosen a
course which imposes upon them the duty of set
fling the unemployed problem 1t is not an easy
problem to settle And the prospect of getting a
good deal of much-needed road-work at no cost
to the city is now all off!

SOCIALISTS PLAN
TO CALL OFF WAR
Delegates to Paris Congress
Will Try TO Stir UP Anti
Military Spirit.

The special session of the lnterna-
tional Socialist Congress, which IS 20
begin August in Paris, was called
originally for August %, at Vienna, but
the meeting place was changed on ac-
count of the threatened general war IN
Europe, said Morris Hillquit, secretary
Of the international Socialist Bureau,
yesterday
MIR. Hillauit will sail for Europe to-
dav on the liner Oceanic TO attend the
convention. With him at the congress
will be q committee representing the
Socialist party of this country. II con-
sists of Charles f. Russell, Emil Seidei,
ex-Mayor>of Milwaukee; Represent
alive Victor l.. Berger, DR.. George b.
Lunn, ex-AIayor Of Schenectady, and
Oscar Ameringer.
"The war situation" said Mr.. Hill
Quit. made matters serious enough
from our view to hasten the date of
our Congress so as TO start an sgita-
ton as soon as possible against a gem
eral European war. II had been de-
cided first that the coming Congress
should discuss the application of our
declaration at the last congress that
the general strike was a proper weapon
in the hands Of the workers The ques-
ton now before us is one OF expedien-
cy as we'll as principle. That we will
use every effort TO stir up sentiment
against war goes without saying. As |
and most people look at il, it seems
inconceivable that a war like the con
fict proposed can be carried out on
such fimsy pretexts as have been
given.
Anti-militarist resolutions, TO be car
ried to the congress. were drawn up
last night by the Harlem Socialist
Forum.

ASKS HERRICK NOT TO SAIL
War Leads Wilson to Bid Am
bassador Stay in Paris.

Washington. July 31.-Because of the
uncertainty of the European war situa-
tion and his familiarity with European
affairs. Myron T. Herrick will remain
indefinitely as Ambassador to France
if he respects the wishes of President
Wilson, who directed to-day that
cable message be sent to him request
ing him to delay his departure, set for
August l.
Added reason given for requesting
Mr.. Herrick TO remain is understood to
be the fact that eX-Representative
William G.. Sharpe. of Ohio, his sue
cessor, is not prepared TO go abroad for
several weeks, and the administration
does not wish TO have the embassy in
Paris vacant during the present crisis
in Europe.
Secretary Bryan said to-day that he
had received word from Thomas Nelson
Page, Ambassador to Italy, that he
would remain in Rome because of the
war situation. Mr.. Page had expected
to leave soon for a vacation in this
country. Mr.. Bryan intimated that
other diplomatic representatives of the
United States would remain at their
posts

FRANCE PROHIBITS
EXPORT OF GRAIN
Fear of Famine Causes the
Government to Guard Its
FarinaceouS Foods.

Paris, July 3l.-The French Ministry
of Finance tonight issued the follow
ing notice:
The rise in the price Of wheat In
all the markets of the world, the prob
abilities that the haryests OF France
will be below the average and the pros
pect of seeing this commodity go into
hiding. as gold does, on the eve OF
grave eventualities, have caused the
government to prohibit the export OF
grains and farinaceous foods OF all
kinds.
This measure was taken by Belgium
and Germany to-day and is supple
mented by the prohibition OF the eA-
port of various products which are
considered contraband OF war.
Chicago, July 31.-That panic did
not ensue in the wheat market to-day
was due to the millions OF Armour:
The result is that the Chicago Roard
of Trade enjoys remarkable dlstinc-
ton of being the only great exchange
in the world the doors of which re-
NAMED open, maintaining its record Oh
never having closed.
Not a single failure was recorded.
Although prices fuctuated IN an alarm
ing manner during the opening hour,
declining Ga cents, the close was COM
paratively steady, with losses OF 5% to
6B cents.
George +. Marcy, president OF the
Armour Grain Company, was the man
who rose TO the occasion. lie quietly
circulated word on the floor OF the
board, partly in person and partly
through his lieutenants, that any mem
Der in trouble need only come to nm
Before nightfall Armour & Co. had
taken over 100000 bushels of open-
trades. which. if not transferred, were
critically in danger of not being sately
settled in due contract time on the eN-
piration of business hours at the emu
of the month Seventy-tlve entangled
firms and individuals on change are
breathing easily tonight.
In addition TO the relief extended di-
rectly. President Marcy ordered the
sale of 100000 bushels of wheat in
the open market, and was thus largely
instrumental in preventing Chicago
prices from paralleling the wild up
ward sweep that in Liverpool to-day
came ahead of steep subsequent fall
The Armour sales Of wheat were sup
pemented by simultaneous disposal OF
/ 900 900 bushels Of corn and an equal
quantity Of oats. These sales were
afterward covered by numerous grad
ual purchases, whenever pit conditions
would allow without disturbing the
course of prices.
Winnipeg, July 31.-October wheat

and later on the floor of the Grain
Exchange at 81 OF. an advance Of six
cents over last nights close. Within
an hour after the opening Of the OK
