CAPITAL Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District.

I Her refusal to recognize the neu
trality of such vessels would mean IN
slant trouble for this country. About
I the first thing to happen would be the
seizure of former German vessel ad
mitted TO American registry. Such a
seizure would have to be protested, II
not resented by this nation. Then
there would be excitement, and pos
sibly war in these unsettled times. Be
cause of the difficulty in the situation
the president is delaying any procla-
nation of the terms under which YES
sells can be transferred.
But because the United States did
not stand upon a lawyers interpreta-
ton of the HayPauncefote treaty in
the matter of the Panama tolls, Great
Britain is now not disposed to take
the London treaty literally. She is
willing to assist the United States to
build up merchant marine, while she
might easily make it difficult. The af-
fair is still being negotiated, but 1t
will probably end by Great Britain
agreeing TO recognize the neutrality
of our vessels providing we guarantee
that vessels bought from Germany will
not revert to German ownership and
registry after the close of hostilities.
Hard Put for Argument.
The cry OF republicans that the
democratic majority of the house pass
ed the resolution ordering the ser
geant-at-arms to withhold salaries of
absent members in order to embarass
the republicans in the present con-
gressional campaign is ridiculous.
Democrats are hurt by the resolution
more than republicans.
The house is now Overwhelmingly
democratic. Many of the democratic
members come from districts which
have heretofore sent republicans.
These democratic members are near
" all candidates for reelection. They
are held in Washington while their re-
publican opponents are working with
the voters.
II the house membership is held in
Washington all fall, the party hurt
worse will be the party having the
most members in the house. That is
so obvious that only republicans hard
pressed for matters on which to criti-
cize the democratic majority could
have failed to see it.

Standing on the letter of the London
convention Great Britain might easily
refuse to recognize as neutral any Ger

Americans and flying the American
flag.
The London declaration provides
that the transfer of vessels after n
declaration of war is void unless the
transfer is not made to escape the
consequences to which an enemy's YES

treaty Great Britain might refuse TO
recognize the validity of any such
transfer.

Hospital Patient Suicides.

Despondent because of his con-
dition, Kim Cha Won, a Korean
laborer, while a patient in the Paia
Hospital, committed suicide about
? o'clock yesterday morning by
hanging himself. The body was
found by an attendant, apparently
but a short time after life was eX-
tinct.
The deceased had been in the
hospital but one day, though he
had been i'll for some time, suffer
ing from tuberculosis and other
complications. While the nurse
was out of the ward, he slipped out
of his bed, and entering a toilet
room, with a rope made from a
sheet, hanged himself from a water
fixture on the wall Coroner Clem
Crowell was notified, but an in
quest was unnecessary.

Convention
Good Progress Reported In Arrange

Crowd Expected In Attendance.

Interest in the Civic Convention,
to be held in Wailuku, October 8 to
5, is already very great, according
to the report made by director f.
r. Bevins, ut a meeting of the local
arrangements committee, held on
Thursday. Everything points to a
very large attendance, and unless
the Honolulu and Kauai delegations
come in II chartered steamer, as has
been proposed, some uneasiness is
being felt by the committee as to
Maui's ability to properly care for
all.
Invitations have been sent to the
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce,
Ad Club, Commercial Club, Kauai
Chamber of Commerce, Hilo Board
of Trade, Kona Improvement Asso-
ciation, Kohala Civic League, and
the boards of supervisors of the
several counties.
Subjects have been assigned each
of these bodies for discussion, in
order to avoid duplication.
Governor Pinkham has accepted
an invitation to be present and has
expressed his best wishes for the
success of the convention.
The committee expressed itself as
well pleased with progress thus far
made, and feels certain that the
coming gathering will far eclipse
the two previous ones.

MAUI TOURIST BUREAU

Believed Active Representative Would Turn Many
Visitors This Way.-FieId to Develop
Game Fishing.

Maui is likely soon to have Il pro-
motion committee of her own. If
plans of various Maui men are car
ried out, it will result in headquart-
ers being opened in Honolulu and an
active campaign launched to get a
share of the tourist business now
coming to the Islands, but of which
this island sees but little.
1t is the belief that by having an
active representative in Honolulu,
Il great many more visitors may be
directed this way than now come. 1t
is recognized that the promotion
committee and steamship companies
cannot well boost for any particular
Island. But that's just what Maui
needs, and there doesn't seem to be
any way to get it except to go after
it ourselves.

before Maui alone is able to get an
automobile road to the top OF Hale
