GRATEFUL FOR
AMERICAN AID
German Government Appreciates
Furnishing Relief.
NEWSPAPER STORY UNTRUE

Interview Credited to German General
Saying Germany Would Relieve BEL
gian Distress Only for the Fact That
the United States Generally Had
Undertaken the Task Is Declared
to Be Erroneous.
London, Dec. LIN response to an
inquiry concerning the authenticity Of
an interview published in English and
American newspapers, which credited
German officer designated as Cen
eral Won Frankenburg, with the state
ment that Germany would have fed
the people of Belgium if she had not
been anticipated by the kind hearted
action of the American people. Brand
Whitlock, American minister to Bel
GUM. sent the following telegram to
the American relief commission:
Il am informed ohicially by the
German government that there is no
basis in fact for the statements pub
lished in the American and British
press to the effect that General Won
Frankenburg made the alleged state
ments.
There is indeed no General Won
Frankenburg at Antwerp. but it
seems that Captain Won Franken-
burg, a staff officer, not authorized to
speak, made statements to a person
claiming to be newspaper man re;
lating to conditions in Germany.
There was no danger of starvation, he
said, in Germany, which needed no
assistance in feeding its population.
"His remarks, therefore, were en-
tirely misunderstood.
"The German government renews
it's official declaration that conditions
in Belgium are as represented and
views with great qualification the gen.
erous efforts of the American people
to relieve the starving population
there. Without such assistance there
must be famine and again repeat my
expression of regret that cruelty reck-
less statements should be allowed to
imperil the great work which the gen.
erosity of the American people is
carrying on among the population so
deeply in distress"

passing on the cases, it probably will
be about three weeks before a deci-
sion is rendered and the present I'M
certainty finally settled.
"The cases were called yesterday
before the supreme court, sitting in
bank, on writs 81 4habeas corpus pre-
viously granted by stipulation in or
der to reach a speedy Interpretation
of the new, law, which has aroused
keen interest aid met with VILE
spread opposition among motorists
throughout the state.
Two Attacks on Law.
''The four suits represent two dis
tinct attacks on the measure. One is
to test the validity of that section
which places a graduated tax on auto
mobile owners. the amount being
fixed according to the horsepower OF
the automobile. The other action at
lacks the provision which places an
annual tax of So on chaHffeurs.
Three of the actions filed are in
the class first mentioned. One is by
Percy A. Towne, acting on behalf of
the state automobile association; one
is by Alfred. ], 3Schuler, representing
a local motor publication. and the
third is by Douglas Mitchell. of Los
Angeles, secretary Of the automobile
club of Southern California. The
fourth action attacks the chauffeur s
tax and is taken in the name Of
Charles Stork, a local chauffeur.
IaA - boil
was lined up before the supreme court
when the cases, were called. The state
was represented by Assistant Attor-
ney-general Raymond Benjamin and
several assistants. TONNES counsel
consisted of Senator John w. Stetson
and Charles A. Fairall; Schiller was
represented by John l.. McNab and
Timothy Healey, while the Los Ange.
les contingent was made up Of Attor-
ney Edgar W. Kuster, acting for the
automobile club of Southern Califor-
ria, and Assistant District attorney
Gardner of that city.

by a short oral argument.
ConstitutionaIity AssaiIec.
"Stetson'S argument, which, in the
main is the same as the contentious
of the other petitioners, conferred on
four points of attack. 1t is cOntended,
first, that the new motor vehicle act
is unconstitutional in that it discrim-
mates against one class of drivers,
those of rotor vehicles. without in
Guiding drivers Of any other vehicles;
second that the registration fee re-
quired is really double taxation, be-
cause the automobile owner already
pays a personal property tax on his
machine; third. that the section pro
wiling that a portion Of the fees col
lected DE turned over to the various
counties for use on the roads is in
violation of the constitutional provi-
sion which says that counties must
levy taxes within their own territory
tor road funds.
"The final contention is that the
act is in the nature of police regu
latiOn measure, and as such is I'M
re asonable, because the fees collect,
ed are far in excess of the cost OF
such regulation"

GEN. funston
SAVES EXPENSE
FOR CARNIVAL

The extent to which the army here
is helping the Carnival committee TO
make a success of the 1914 celebra-
ton was emphasized this morning,
when it became known that General
Funston had decided to order the in
fantry from Schofield Barracks to
march to the city for Carnival week,
instead of holding the Carnival peo-
pie to their offer of transportation for
the foot troops This one item will
save the carnival about $500.
The order for the movement OF
troops to the city is now being blocked
out, although it is a full month in
advance of the time for marching. 1t
is probable that the infantry, artillery
and cavalry will leave SchOfield on
February II, the mounted Organiza-
tions coming through in one day, and
the "doughbOys" arriving on the 18th.
The dismounted cavalry and one bat
TALON of "horseless" artillery will be
left at Leilehua. The three companies
of coast artillery at Fort Kamehame-
ha will come to the city to make their
camp, but the troops from the other
coast artillery posts and from Shafter
will be close enough to Honolulu to
take part in the various events with
out going into camp.
1t is estimated that with infantry.
field artillery, coast artillery. cavalry,
marines. national guard, engineers and
signal corps, there will be $500 troops
in line This will be the greatest pa
rade ever seen on Oahu

the statements of one Juan Abelano,
now serving a three-years' sentence
at Oahu prison, has reason to believe
that a large amount Of coin was

Abelano has eonfided to McDuffie
that Jose Makaawa, Filipino pris-

has since then put in few monu-
ments, but very few of these, if any,
have been co-ordinated. All the mon
uments that are in should be located

sections and angles should be monu-

''The standard monuments adopted
by the city and county will be used

Some uniformity must be used in
the location of these monuments,
that is, they should all be placed at

tablished throughout the city so that

Regarding mapping, he says:
THE mapping would consist of a
large map on scale of inch to 500

the triangulation system, bench
marks, streets, public buildings and
would serve for general engineering
use in the office of the city and coun-
ty engineer
For detail sheets or grade map
sheets, size of % inches by 40
inches would be adopted with bind
ing edge. The work could be plotted
on . scale of /, inch to 40 feet on ele-
plant paper from which tracings
would be made. From the tracings,
cloth white prints could be made,
these to be bound up in loose leaf
form to be Kept as permanent re-
cords.
"On these sheets would be shown
curb lines, property lines, width of
streets and alleys, width of roadways,
distances between property line and
curb on both sides Uf the street
where possible, kind of pavement,
profile of street, property owners and
frontage, also location and elevation
of manholes.
Also to avoid the tearing up of
streets due to late sub-surface i'm
proVements. it would be an advantage
TO show on these sheets all water
pipes, gas pipes, electric conduits,
electric railway tracks, culverts,
bridges. also all government, city and
county property.
"A great deal of this data could
be compiled from existing data and
records kept in the department of
public works and other corporations

From these sheets all sub-surface
could be made before
a permanent pavement was placed
and in this way a great deal of the
tearing up of improved streets could

benefit to this district; the next move
was made to prohibit the sale of liquor
within four miles of any school in
cities of 1000 inhabitants or under.
This relieved all the smaller towns
of their saloons for there was no place
four miles from school house with
people enough to make a saloon pay.
The next move was to pass. a law that
all cities with a population of 5000
inhabitants or under should not sell
liquor within four miles of a school

ACTS ON The LIVER
Dodson's Diver Tone Livens Up the
Liver-Is More Than
Mere Laxative.

Calomel was for years the only
known medicine that would
stimulate the liver. But caiomel
is often dangerous, aad people
are not to be blamed for being
afraid of it.
Within the last few years many
medicines have been put out to
be used instead of calomel, but
their effect is the bowels = not on
the liver. Ardrey's drug store
says that the only real liver
medicine to actually take the
place of calomel is Dodson's S
Liver Tone, a mild. harmless,
vegetable liquid that Ardrey's S
drug store recommended to take
the place of calomel and which
gives prompt relief in cases of
constipation, biliousness and slug
gish liver.
So confident is Ardrey's drug
store that they give their per-
sonal guarantee with every
50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone. You can be sure that you
are getting Dodson's by asking
at this store if they are giving
you the medicine they personally
guarantee to refund money on if
