WOULD DELAY OPENING
Of RESERVE SYSTEM
Washington Financiers Think In
auguration Before 1915 Would
- Be Mistake.
Disturbing of Balances Might Un-
settle Matters, It Is Believed, When
Such Situation Is. Undesirable.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Local financiers, with but one OF two
exceptions, are Of the opinion that II
would not be wise for the administra-
ton to put the federal reserve bank
ing law into effect before the advent
of 1915.
1t has been a matter of general be-
lief in financial circles that the sys-
tenn would be put into effect with the
first Of the coming month. but the ex-
igencies created by the foreign situa-
ton are likely to cause the continue
ton Of the present system until a later
date.
1t is generally admitted that to dis
turb balances now carried in central
reserve cities, as would be necessary
by transfer to district reserve banks,
would cause some confusion and might
unsett1e matters at a time when the
government and the banking interests
are doing everything possible to pre-
vent disturbances of any kind.

and asked q number of questions re
garding the workings of the federal
grand jury which indicted the district
attorney. This was principally to show
thsf on September 4 the grand jury
had been dismissed. and also the date
on which the Indictment against Mr.,
Mccain was returned The prosecI-
tion then made known its intention to
call as witnesses several members Of
the grand jury in order to verify GER
tain statements given In the McCarn
trial by ]. w. Thompson, assistant dis.
.trict attorney, with those which he
gave before the grand Jury during its
Of the affair
The defense objected to the calling
OF the grand jurymen on the ground
that they were under obligation BY
oath not to divulge matters which came
before them while in session. The
court stated that, from the fact that
the grand jury has been dismissed, the
members Of that body are no longer
bound by their soaths. 8,
Upon cfoss-examinat.on. Attorney
Lightfoot asked Mr. Davis whether or
not upon the dismissal Of the jury,
Judge G. r. Clemens had warned the
members not to divulge anything re-
garding the McGarn matter The pro-
secntion objected to this line Of quess
tioning, the objection being sustained.
John r. Gait, treasurer and manager
of the Hawaiian trust Company, who
was q member of the federal grand
jury which indicted Mr.. McCarn. was
the next witness to be called. Several
answers to questions which Mr..
Thompson gave when examined In the
McCafn trial were read to MT Gait,
and he was asked TO tell whether Mr..
Thompson had testified In a like man

Answers Objection Made to
Local Subscriptions
Editor Honolulu star.Bulletin.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: An objection has been made
by two or three to the plan of war re
lief on which we are trying to raise
funds for the widows and orphans
caused by the war, that anything
which Is sent on by us will simply
have a tendency to prolong the war,
on the ground that soldiers in the
field, thinking that their wives and
children will be cared for anyway will
be the more willing TO fight and, what
Is more important, that the various
governments commanding these SOL
diers viii feel the same way and the
tendency viii be to prolong the war.
The objection sounds plausible, but
OF course there Is really nothing in it,
in view OF the fact that whatever
funds We may send will not amount
to a drop in the bucket compared with
the enormous expense incurred by the
various governments in carrying on
this war. II is said, for instance, that
it costs Germany alone 10000, 900 q
day, What, then, must be, the total
cost for. all Of the combatants?
Every endeavor is being made BY
the committee to prevent any deduc-
tons from the funds which We raise,
in the hope that every cent will go
into the hands Of the unfortunates to
whose assistance we are rushing. The
committee hopes that no one win for
one instant refrain from giving on the
theory that it may prolong the war.
The suggestion has been made,
which the COMMITTEES indorses, that
any funds which any contributor wish
es to have devoted to the relief of the
widows and orphans Of any specific
country will be faithfully applied as
the donor may intimate, and we shall
welcome all such contributions as well

ten memorandum, Judge Monsarrai
said. e, -. =,
/ Charge is that the defendant on the

being Sunday, wilfully and unlawfully

Defendant, by counsel, enters a
plea of Not Guilty r. ... j..
THE question &c be decided by the
court is whether such a program as
that given under the charge and man.
agement of the defendant at the Popu.
lar theater on the 9th Of September
last was a show within the meaning
Of this statute.
THE defendant contends that 1t was
religious meeting along educational
lines, a religious service where no ad'
mission fee was charged and no col
lection taken up, and that the word
show In the statute means, If II means
Eanythihg, a show given for money
which this was not. satssg
The evidence is that moving pic
lures were exhibited in the Popular
theater both afternoon and evening
of the Sunday In question. The pic.
lures shown were Ten Nights in q
Barroom. That these pictures were
first shown by Mr.. Blair In this same
theater prior to this Sunday. That
hymns were sung and prayers made
both afternoon and evening, and that
the whole affair was under the aus.
pieces of the Anti-Saloen League.

gram"
The Magoon case was next called. In
passing sentence Judge Monsarratt|
said:
This case is different from the
other. In this case no attempt has
been made upon the part of the theat.
rical company to show that there was
any religious or educational feature In
the program at the theater last Sun
day night, though the defense testified
that they were giving the shows for q
moral and uplifting purpose. to keep
the young people off the streets, etc,
The evidence proves that this was

1t Is understood that the Wadmanl
case will be carried to the higher
courts as quickly as possible. Judge
in his statements took
cognizance Of the fact that test case
would be made OF It.

WAR in EUROPE
CUTS OFF MEAT
FROM AUSTRALIA
Government Prohibits Export
At Present Time-May Feed
British Army

Hawaii can look for no more meat
from Australasia so long as tile Euro
pean war continues in its present Sc
riousness, according to statements
from authoritative sources.
The Oceanic liner Sonoma arrived
today from the antipodes without the
hoped-for supply Of refrigerated meat
II was learned definitely that the fed.
eral government has prohibited the ex,
portation of meat from Australasia, as
all the supply will be needed at home
or perhaps for British mouths abroad
Capt. J. w. Niesigh, who is on his
way to the states as a publicity rep
resentative OF New South Wales, says
that the prohibition of expectation is q
stringent one and that both federal and
state governments ARE taking radical
measures to see that the food ones
ton does not become burdensome
one. Sometime ago New South Wales
found what looked like a corner in
wheat by private parties and the gov
eminent Immediately seized all the
wheat in warehouses and on wharves
and in stores and has reorganized the
trade to keep prices down. The gov
ernments are setting official prices on
all food-stuffs. The expectation Of
wheat, meat and sugar Is absolutely
prohibited. The shipment of horses
and many other things that might be
useful as war supplies IS kept under
strict supervision.
With the stopping of Hawaii's iinpor-
tations OF meat from Australasia,
prices here are expected to advance ac-
cordingiy.

Watch Carefully
The Chi1d's Diet
Start Then, off Right With
a Good Laxative and Then
Watch Their Food

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per-
sons. Hence avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give 1t in
digestion, and urge it to take more
of what is quickly digested.
IL the child shows a tendency to
constipation, it should Immediately
be given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. BY this is not meant a
physic or purgative, for these should
never be given to children, nor any
thing like salts, pills, etc. What
the child requires is simply small
dose of the gentlest Of medicines,
such as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, which, in the opinion OF thou
sands IF watchful mothers, Is the
ideal remedy for any child showing
a tendency to constipation. so many
things can happen to constipated
child that care is necessary. Colds,
piles, headaches, sleepiessness and
many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many Of Americas foremost fam
lilies are never without Syrup Pep
sin, because one can never tell when
some member Of the family may
need it, and all can use 1t. Thou
sands indorse it. among them Mrs.
NJ. 2. Patten, Valley Junction, Iowa,
who is never without 1t in the house
Mrs. Patten says that Syrup PepSin
