SECOND APPEAL
FOR FUNDS IS
MADE BY China
Vivid Pen Picture of Ravages
of War Is Received in Letter
from Relief Committee
SUFFERING IN NANKlNG
SECTION is RED0UBLED
C. K. All, City Mill Company, Is
Designated to Receive All
Local Donations

A vivid picture of wars ravages in
the young Republic of China has been
furnished Honolulu in letter sent
from the city of Nanking by the Nan
king relief committee. .". T..
Making the second appeal for funds,
the Chinese committee now shows
that the suffering in the Marking sec
tion has been redoubled by the re-
cent rebellion. c. K Al of the City
Mill Company has been designated to
receive the funds in Honolulu and it
is hoped that the response will be
generous.
The letter says: -.
"The Marking relief committee ap-
peals to you to cooperate with us in
our effort to secure 100000 to relieve
those in our city who are suffering
from the consequences of the second
rebellion" We suggest that you in
yite representatives of the various
Christian denominations of your city,
beth Chinese and foreigners, and also
non-C Christian gentlemen who may be
interested to form committee for
raising this money.
Five months ago, Marking was a
peaceful, prosperC us and hopeful city.
Wealthy men were enjoying the lux
ury of their homes; tradesmen were
conducting good business; teachers
were having their summer vacations;
officials and employees had work and
the means of livelihood; widows and
all dependent classes had their usual
means of support and were content.
But the pendulum has swung back.
Through no choice of her own, Nan
king was made the Headquarters of
the late rebellion. The people of Nam
king had little sympathy with the up
rising, but it has ever been true In
war that the innocent suffer most
from its raYages. In this instance,
Marking certainly suffered vicariously
for the nation at large, Following the
rebellion came those terrible days or
looting, when revenge was meted out
with merciless hand, and the blight
of this fair city was too awful to be

Ter and Beretania streets was recent
" purchased by w. r. Castle, presi-
dent of the company. 1t was stated
this morning that 1t is planned to use
this property II IL is decided to erect

The growing business of the COM
pany, it was stated, makes IT almost
necessary for larger quarters to be Sc
cured. II seemed TO be the opinion

PINES ON list.
AS HOST fruit
THROUGH ERROR

Pineapple growers will rejoice today
at the news that pines are not to be
classified as a host fruit. Governor
Pinkham received cable from Secre-
tary of Agriculture, Houston this
morning in which he stated that the
inclusion of pineapples in the prelim-
mary draft of quarantined fruit was
an error, and that the error was cor
lected some time ago.
This message came in response to
one sent by the~board of forestry and
agriculture, after a hearing with local
pineapple growers, in which vigor-
Gus protest was made against includ-
ing pines with host fruits and vege-
tables in the quarantine list. ~
A host fruit is one to which the
Mediterranean fly is attracted and on
which it lays its eggs. 1t was stated
at the meeting of the board of forestry
and agriculture that 1t was an estab.
ljshed fact that the fly does not touch
pineapples, and that to include the
fruit in the host list was very unfair
The message received by the gov,
ernor, signed by Secretary of Agricul
ture Houston, reads:
Inclusion pineapples in preliminary
draft an error long since corrected"
This clears the matter up and means
the end Of the only objection the local
board had to the proposed new quar-
antine list. A public hearing will be
held on it in Washington March 19.
The growers favor the inspection ol
pines before they are shipped to the
mainland. And this inspection, both
Of pines and bananas, will be made, il
is stated, at the expense of the fed
eral government.

TELLS OF FLIGHT
FROM MEXICO
WYOMING MAN TELLS OF KILL,
ING OF HIS PARTNER AND
DESTRUCTION OF THEIR
STORE AT TORREON.

Edgemont, S. D.-Among the visit
ors to Edgemont yesterday was Capt.
j.. Boyce, a refugee from war-ridden
Mexico, who was enroute from the
southern republic to his formersh home
at Gillette, Wyo., where he will visit
with his daughter until it is consider
ed safe for him to return to Mexico.
While in Edgemont he talked in
terestingly of affairs in Mexico, where
for the last fifteen years he had been
Interested in the hardware business
at Torreon. In recent heavy fighting
between the rebels and federals his
partner vas killed by a stray bullet
and their store building was demol-
ished by shells that fell during the
ca%nnonading.
Mr.. Joyce. in describing the hor-
rors of his flight, stated that he saw
a number of women and children
murdered in cold blood. He was
compelled to fight for his own life in
making his escape from the city. and
reached safety without injury after
frequent use of his revolver.
The refugee appears to have had
more than his share of misfortunes
during the past year or so, for in
addition to his recent loss of his
Mexican property he escaped by a
fifteen-minute margin a watery grave
at the time of the Titanic disaster.
He had intended to take passage on
the Inflated liner and his baggage
had been taken aboard and all prep
arations made, when only about fiji
teen minutes before the time set for
the ships departure he changed his
mind and decided to remain over fol
a few days longer.
His reason for deciding at the last
minute not to take passage on the
Titanic was because he had an aver
sion to what he terms "skyscraper'
boats and preferred smaller boats.

STATE BANKS
MAY BE BARRED
ExAsIINER WINGFIELD SAYS IT
is DOUBTFUL IFsTHEY CAN
ENTER FEDERAL RE-
SERVE SYSTEM.

Aberdeen. S. Din reply to an in
quiry from r. y. Brown. of Brown
Brothers State Bank and Trust Co,
Public Examiner j. l.. Wingfield ex-
presses doubt if state banks can en-
ter. the federal serve banks, under
the federal law, owing to inhibitions
contained in the state law. Mr.. Wing
field says 1.-THE state law provides
very plainly that banks and trust
companies shall not invest in the
capital stock of other companies,
and may not carry such stock as a
part of their assets. and as there are
no qualifying clauses or provisional
clauses in connection with such pro-
hibition in our law, it is not a matter
within the discretion of the public
examiner to say whether or not a
bank Or trust company may invest in
the capital stock of a regional bank
in order to be able to qualify as a
member of the federal eserve sys-
tenn, but it will be observed that the
law does not specifically provide that
a state bank may not enter the fed
eral reserve system"
