MAKlJRA PASSED
HAWAIIAN
PORT

Aloha, alleged to have been flashed
from the wireless installation on board
the Canadian Australasian liner Ma
kura, several days ago, now appears
TO have been the one wsTd upon which
a few misguided persons pinned their
faith and assurance that the British
steamer was proceeding from Sydney.
n. s. W., and expected TO pay a visit
to the port Of Honolulu
Declared TO have departed from Aus
tralia with large company OF mill.
tary reservists. the Makura was gen
orally understood in shipping circles
as steaming for British Columbia with
out delay through call at the Ha-
waiian islands.
II is now thought that the despatch
ing one or more messages TO this port
may have been coupe upon the part
OF the officers. with a view of mis-
leading the hostile powers TO believe
that the vessel was following its reg.
niar course. The Makura is under
stood to have passed many miles to
the eastward OF the Hawaiian islands
several days ago. At the time the
Oceanic steamer Ventura remained at
Sydney, the .Iakura was coaled and
proyisioned for an extended voyage. II
was freely reported throughout Aus
tralia that the liner would be taken
over by the government as troop
transport

Abrsham Farber today faced a
charge of manslaughter in the district

Kaiawa, who ON September Is is al
legged to have been run down by a.
machine driven by Farber.
Farber waived a preliminary hearing
in the lower court and he was com.
mitted to trial at the circuit court fol-
lowing an indictment by the terrific.
rial grand jury.
Deputy Sheriff Asch produced mum.
Der of important witnesses at the ses-
sion, although much of the evidence
was of a contradictory nature. Manu-,
a Hawaiian, declared that he was an
eyewitness to the accident which had
hurled Kaiawa some distance when
hit by the car He claims to have
signalled Farber to stop his car, which
was done more than LOG feet from
where the injured man lay. William
Kanamuhulu was positive that the
Farber car was travelling on the left
hand side of the street Fugiti, a Jap
anese. contradicted the last witness
by insisting that Farber was on the
right side of the street and that Kai-
ava deliberately crossed in the path
of the oncoming car He expressed
the opinion that the Hawaiian might
have tried TO commit suicide. De-
tailed statements. from Officer Ferry
did much to disapproye several vague
stories

AMERICANS ARE
NOW WANTED AS
NAVIGATORS

American officers are wanted for the
vessels in the PaeIiic Standard Oil
fleet, according to word that was pass
ed at Honolulu during the brief stay
OF the tanker Winamac. which called
here some days ago to replenish its
tanks with fuel oil. following huT.
ried trip across the Pacific from Hong
kong. d..
Captain J. Isler, now superintendent
OF the Standard Oil Company's branch
at Shanghai, is reported as authority
for the statement tnat better sailor
men never trod a deck than the men
who make up the American merchant
marine as officers and able seamen.
At the time the Winemac departed
from south China for San Francisco
there was a general sentiment that
many nayigators who had been return
ed from the Philippine insuiar govern.
ment service might be given positions
with the Standard Oil fleet
The word received from Shanghai
Is therefore most cheering to these
sailormen who have spent years in
the service of the Philippine insular
government, although it Is not from
that government that the relief now
comes. What these officers feel more
keenly than being sHpplanted with
foreigners is the evident injustice in
the enforcement Of United States
customs rule which provides that of,
ficers holding American papers may
only have them renewed once while
in the Philippines. and at the end of
ten years must return to the United
States for denomination.
This rule and the act of congress
under which it was issued are anti
quated, as they were passed before
The United States had acquired co.
lonial possessions In which seafaring
men might spend the better part OF
their lives without returning to the
United States. The enforcement OF.
this rule has worked a hardship on
more than one officer in the insular
service. and seems AS far from being
remedied under the present admins.
tration as under the last. The infor.
nation sent by Captain Lyons is more
than welcome and a number of off.
GERS are considering making a, change

REPORTS ARE
VALUABLE And
INTERESTING

Divisional reports presented at the
meeting of the board OF agriculture
and forestry this morning showed good
work all round last month.
DIR. Norgaard. territorial veteTinar-
ian, tehs of the beginning of new
general test for tuberculosis in dairy
cattle on this island which in itself
was very satisfactory. no case yielding
a reaction, but the results were dis
counted. in his opinion, by the exces-
siye amount of bacteria in milk from
many dairies.~ He transmits letter
from the chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry in Washington which
shows that results of bovine tubercu-
losis control in the District of Colum-
bia fall much below those attained in
the city and county of Honolulu. There
had been an outbreak of cerebro spin
al meningitis among plantation horses
ON Maui, at least that is the name
commonly given 20 the distemper, to
which he had attended on the ground.
In the veterinarians fopinion it is
rather a disease caused by the arm
ed wire worm in the intestines and
blood, produced by drinking impure
water. Under his direction preventa-
tive measures had been taken which
had good effect.
E. ~ EbrhoTn, territorial entomolo-
gist, gives an aceoBh. Of many pests
he had intercepted at the port. Also,
he reports the successful breeding and
distribution of the Silyestri and other
parasites for the control of the fruit
Fly. horn fly, etc.
r. S. Hosmer, superintendent of
forestry, sent in his farewell report
prior to leaving here to take charge
of the Yale school of forestry 1t con.
cludes with regrets at leaving Ha-
wall and with expressions of thanks to
the commissioners :>of support of his
policy in establishin> government for
estry in the territory.
G. K. harrison, superintendent of
photography, besides reporting on the
work of his division for the month,
makes the statement that "a eompari-
son of the amounts paid per million
gallons per "a hours for government
water under the yario:;s water licens-
es has revealed the fact that there
exists a wide variation in the prices
paid under, apparently, similar condi-l
tons of cost of water development
and application" He suggests that the
data the division furnishes should be
carefully studied previous to the leas-
ing OF future water rights.

RARE DISPLAY
Of HIBISCUS
BY c. ?. Wilder

One OF the most remarkable displays
of hibiscus blossoms ever made in
Honolulu is exhibited today in the win
dows of Wall & Dougherty, jewelers.,
in the Young Hotel building.
The display is made by Gerrit P.
Wilder and contains something like
400 separate specimens. Of which it, is
said no two are alike. There have
been larger displays of hibiscus in
Honolulu but probably never has any
single exhibitor shown a larger vari-
ETY. in fern and coloring. Some of the
blossoms are of rare and charming
beauty and none but is pretty and
graceful The display is splendid
one from both picturesque and a
scientific standpoint.
