Elect From Ohio Also
Favors Immediate General
Rate Advance.

New York, Dec. 12.-Warren G..
Harding, United States senator-elect
from Ohio, in an address before the
Railway Business Association at it's
annual dinner here said he favored
road service and an immediate gen.
eral rate advance to save the crash
of the temple of transportation"
He said:
"The argument has never appealed
to me that we ought to prosper our
railroads for the specific purpose of
promoting general prosperity. 1t
seems to me more important to pros
per our transportation lines as a SIM
pie matter of fairness and justice to
this most important single agency in
our modern lives.

like to proclaim, in the same breath,
the passing of railroad-baiting less
inspired by public good than by per-
sonal profits and political gain. 1t
has been a great stunt to hammer the
railroads.
"The drift is toward the sober, sec
ond thought. There has been an ex
cess of commissioning. The best
railroad knowledge in all the land
ought to light the way. Public service
ought to be the impelling purpose,

II believe it is the opinion of nine
ty.nine of every hundred thinking
people that the railways of the coun.

Under our present system of re

with increased cost of operation
there are no marked railway better

order and provide an ample earning

period. This would tend to better

SLEEP

DR.. Bertha Van Hoosen Tells of
Successful Use of Freiberg
Method.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-"Twilight sleep
the German painless method of child
birth, has been used in twenty-four
cases in Chicago at the Mary Thomp'
son hospital. DR.. Bertha a Hoosen,
speaking to the members of the Chi
cago Medical Society last night, said
in every n Of these cases the Fret
berg method had been successful, the
mothers had suffered no pain and she
believed the children were brighter
than children born under the method
in common use in the United States.
DR.. Van HOsen's statement startled
the 200 members of the society pres
ent and brought forth a volley of con.
tradictions and criticism from the
man doctors in the audience.
She illustrated her lecture with
lantern slides showing the hospital
method she used in caring for the pa
tents. ,
The method has worked success.

she said. "Ln twenty-four cases |

any pain and they replied that they
didn't know anything had happened.
Three applications Of scopolamin NOR.
phine are given and the patient loses
the sense of feeling.
I'm few cases does the labor Of
child birth continue more than eight
hours. We call it the eight-hour labor
law. In a few cases the children have
not breathed as vigorously as they do
in the painful method in common use
here, but we have found that their
heart action was very strong.
There is nc doubt but that the
method will be used here by obstetri-
clans when they learn how to admin
lister the drugs. / am convinced that
the use OF scopolamin-morphine
breaks the connection between The

Bjornson was elected captain of the
A. &c. football team for next year at
the annual football banquet held in
Ceres hall Wednesday evening. The
election was a close one and took two
ballots to bring a result. On the
first ballot Bjornson was tied with
Kelley for the leadership of the pig.
skin warriors, and on the second bal
lot won out by a small margin. Bjorn'
son has been a member of the team
for three years and plays at tackle.
When the result was announced he
was called on for a speech and made
a stab at it which seemed to satisfy
his hearers.
The feast provided for them was
heartily enjoyed by the healthy ath-

was given. Prof. A. S. Keene presid'

Value Of Abstinence.

Value Of Abstinence.
Taking UP some of the specific re-
suits Of the investigation Mr.. Hunt
err said: Nothing has been more con-
clusively proved than that a steady
free use Of alcoholic beverages, or oc-
casional excuses, are detrimental to
the individual. In my Judgment, it
has also been proved beyond perad-
venture of doubt that total abstinence
from alcohol is of value to humanity;
it is certain that abstainers live long
Ter than persons who use alcoholic
beverages. Among the men who ad-
mitted that they had taken alcohol
occasionally to eXceSs in the past,
but whose habits were considered
satisfactory when they were insured,
there were 2S9 deaths while there
would have been only 100 had this
group been made up of insured lives
in general. The extra mortality was,
therefore, over fifty per cent, which
was equivalent to a reduction in the
average life of these lei Of over
TOUR years
One of the most significant results
of the investigation, he said, was the
high mortality experienced among
railroad men. Among locomotive en-
gineers the mortality vas sixty per
cent in excess of that among the in
sured as a whole, which is equivalent
to five years reduction III the av rage
life time.
There is a general impression
that saloonkeepers do not live as long
as persons in non-hazardous occupa-
TONS" he continued. "but it is not
generally known that most classes
which are connected with either the
manufacture or sale of liquor have a
high mortality. Among saloon pro-
prietors, whether they attended the
bar or not, there was an extra NOR
tality of seventy per cent, and the

causes Of death indicated hat a free
use of alcoholic beverages had caused
many Of the deaths. In the fourteen
subdivisions Of the trades connected
with the manufacture or sale of alco-
hol, there was only one class which
had a normal mortality and that was
the distillery proprietors."

here was surrendered last week to
X. N. WVlie of Neche, deputy grand
chancellor of the order in this state.
The paraphernalia and furniture of
the lodge was packed and shipped to

Established about rs years ago and
for a time f1ourished in membership

for many years now no meetings

best to surrender the charter.

SUFFICIENT TO
DISQUALIFY HIM?
That's the Question Asked in
Political Circles as Result of
Proposal to Waive Salary

Has Joel c. Cohen endangered his
legal qualification to run for mayor
of Honolulu? :-.... =. -.
That is the question asked today
following the publication in yester-
days Star-Bulletin of Cohen's signed
offer to give part of his salary to a
private secretary and the rest to
charity, and the simultaneous pub
lication of an attorneys declaration
that election to an Office through the
waving OF any part or the whole OF
the salary is illegal, voids the elec-
ton and constitutes bribery on the
part of the candidate. ... .'"..=..
Mr.. Cohen's offer was made as fol.
lows: H. ..- -"
Il will take from my salary enough
to add to the salary of the mayors
secretary so as to insure the selec-
ton of a competent man for the po-
sition and the balance of my salary
/ will give to the Leahi Home and
other worthy charities and l do this
without any ifs, ands or butts in ref.
erence to the board Of supervisors or
any other public official" .-.
Now the question is asked in poll
tical circles: Hasn't Cohen disquali.
fed himself by making this offer?"

Governor - Legislative
Bills Drafted Later

IL will be about week before the
formal report of the Hawaii county
graft commission is presented To the
governor.
The commission has been sitting in
Honolulu this week and hoped TO fin-
ish its work this afternoon but is un.

departing for his Hilo home today, is
taking back some data on which to
base recommendations and will whip
this last bit of work into shape in
time to send Il back completed to Hon
olulu next Saturday.
Commissioner Williamson said to-
day that the original plan of the COM
mission to accompany the report with
complete drafts of bills, ready for pre-
sentation TO the legislature, has been
changed. These bills are designed to
carry out the recommendations of the
commission. the most important of
which. II is expected. viii be the urg-
ing Of an independent auditing sys-

In discussing these bills the COM
missioners have come to the conclu-
sion that they can get better results

comments as possible from business
men and others interested in the i'm
provement of public accounting. These
suggestions and comments will be
evoked. 1t Is apparent, after the report
of the commission has been presented

newspapers Of the territory. The COM
mission has therefore decided not to

the construction of wharf at Lahaina
that will allow the business man, the
women and the children to land in
the usual civilized way at a civilized
wharf, will be one of the best things
that can happen. IL.
This Is especially true at the present
time, as the money for the wharf has
been authorized under the territorial
loan appropriation and, furthermore
there is a general awakening on the
value of developing tourist trade and
making the way of the tourist easy
through comfortable transit and good
accommodations

The dinner, which, aside from being
the second get together affair, was also

dining room lends itself splendidly to
an assembly Of this character, and the
