SEIYO MARU BACK
To HONOLULU
and SAFETY

Taking no chances with a possible
meeting of hostile war fleet, the
passenger and freight steamer Seiyo
Maru, belonging to the Togo Kisen
Kaisha line, which spent three days
of the port following its arrival from
Mexico, Central and South America, is
again riding at anchor near quarantine,
pending additional advices from the
home Office at Toxic.
AS forecasted in the Star-Bulletin yes
terday, the Seiyo Maru did not ven
ture many miles off the shores of the
Hawaiian group. According to the
master Of the liner this morning, he
had steamed 166 miles when a wireless
message ordered the return of the ship
to Honolulu. s.
That a Japanese cruiser or perhaps
several war vessels of that nationality
are proceeding to the Hawaiian islands
is the general belief held in local ship
ping circles. Castle and Cooke, local
representatives for the T. X. K, yes
terday afternoon received lengthy
cable from Toxic requesting that every
effort be made to insure the return
of the Seiyo Maru to neutral port.
Loud and angry protest from about
900 passengers in the several classes
over the return of the vessel, were the
rule on board the Seiyo Maru this
morning. Us
The belief is expressed that Jap
anese war vessel may later serve as a
convoy for the commercial liner in its
voyage to Japan ports. 80.

JUDGE MONSARRAT SAYS
CATHCART'S OFFICE TO
BLAME. FOR QUINN CASE

District Magistrate Monsarrat de-
clared from the bench yesterday
that the matter of letting Tom Quinn
go free while Japanese named Shim-
izu was fined IS and costs for an iden-
teal violation of the traffic laws, was
entirely up to the representative of
the city and county prosecuting attor.
Rey's Office. The prosecuting officer
moved for the discharge of Quinn, so
stated Monsarrat
The magistrate proposed his inten-
ton OF passing judgment upon Quinn
when he stated that it wss brought to
his attention by the prosecution that
Quinn was entirely justified in violat-
ing that clause in the traffic regula-
ton that requires automobiles to fol-
low the right-hand side of the road
in travelling Kalakaua avenue
What is now puzzliRg the police is
the fact that scohes of persons have
been summoned to appear before the
lower court for similar violations of
the road regulations on Kalakaua ave-
nue., yet in the case of one offender
he is told in open court that as the
Eva side Of that thoroughfare is rough
in spots the officers were therefore
not warranted in placing him under
arrest. s.-.. ~. &.

The British steamer Mariana. which

coast Of California and Washington,
was not passed Dy the United States
army transport Dix. according TO
statements made this morning by
Captain Robert Balm. master of the
troopship, upon his arrival at the port
at daylight.
While the Dix followed the usual
course for a voyage between Honolu-

smooth seas and favorable winds be-

that nothing was seen of German or
British war vessels in the north Pa

A number of messages flashed from

TOHILO TOUSE
new KUHIO WHARF

The American-Hawaiian Steamship
Company is ready to make use OF
the Kuhio wharf at Efilo, and it is like
ly the next freighter of that line to
call at the Crescent City will dock
lat the new pier, despite the fact that
the loading machinery and wharf shed
have not yet been placed.
This assurance was given the board
of harbor commissioners at its special
meeting this morning by c. p Morse,
the American-Hawaiian Company
general freight agent. At his request
the 500 makai feet of the new pier
were set aside as berth for Ameri-
can-Hawaian vessels, to be utilized by
them ON their regular schedule. 81.
At the boards request u. A. Thurs.
ton, representing the Hilo Railroad,
was present at the session and there
was some discussion concerning trans
portation rates via the railroad from
the new pier to the business section
Of the town, as compared with the pre-
sent rates by lighters and drayage.
The opinion seemed to prevail that
the new system will make little diff.
ference In the cost to tconsignees,
though If there is any difference it
may be in favor OF the new system
which will make use of the railroad.
The board, on motion by Col. c..
]. Mccarthy, decided that until the
shed is built on Kuhio bay wharf the
wharfage rate for sugar and general
cargoes shall be only one-half the
present regular tee. This special pro-
vision is not to apply to lumber, how
ever.

To Our Advertisers

DO you take your advertising seriously?
fDo you censcientiously use every available
means to get the utmost in results from your
ads?
advertising is seience-and ii is CORE
spondingly true of advertising, as of any other
line of endeavor, that in order to obtain the
maximum in results it must be done thoroughly
and exhaustiyely.
Hence
There is more to advertising than the mere
publication Of certain stipulated facts and
prices.
DO you insist that your employees read your
ads, that they may familiariEe themselves with
the specials of the day, and thereby cooperate
with your patrons in making their purchases?
fDo You clip and post, in conspicuous places
in your establishment, your ads, as they appear,
to facilitate this?
fDo your employees call the attention of your
customers to the fact that You advertise for their
benefit suggesting that they would do we'll to
watch for and read your announcements?
iDo you extend every courtesy ait your COM
mand to those who come into your store that
your house, SO that when they notice your ads
they will stop and read what "The House of
Courtesy has to say?
advertising, in retail stores, tends to tone
up the entire establishment. 1t puts the store
on record as promising certain definite things
in quality of merchandise, in character of serv-
ice.
do yeu see to it that the dignity accorded
your store by advertising is lived up to?
These are few questions-and few sug
gestions, perhaps, that may serve to help our
advertisers in deriving every pennys worth of
value from the money invested in advertising.
ITO attain and permanently maintain a profit
able business, it is absolutely necessary to lay
down certain standards advertise them-and
