tack on Administration
WILSON POLICY ARRAlGNED
Present Attitude of Government May
Result In War With European
Nations

Washington, Mar. 9.--The lid OF
secrecy regarding Mexico was lifted
in the Senate OF the United States to
day by Senator Fall, republican, OF
New Mexico, who urged armed inter.
vention for the protection of Ameri.
cans and other foreigners In the
stricken republic The galleries were
crowded to overlooking and remain.
ed so for hours until Senator Shive.y
of Indiana, had spoken for the admin
istration expressing regret that the
subject had been discussed in open
session and averring that no adequ-
ate suggestion had been offered 10
compose The difficulty.
Senator Fall, In lengthy nara
ton OF incidents OF outrages to Amer
leans in Mexico. held the interest of
the Senate and galleries for more
than three hours.
Assailing the policy of the admins
tration as inadequate in the sisua-
ton, declaring that President Wilson
knew nothing about real conditions
and had been mistaken in every act
OF his administration toward Mexico
the New Mexico senator pleaded for
interven ion for protection, in order
to avoid inevitable war.
Emphasizing the danger of war
with great foreign power unless
something should speedily be done,
Senator Fall referred TO comments in
the German press over the killing of
the British subject, Benton, by order
OF Gen. Villas cour.-martial and de
clared:
"When the German official press
Gays that should a German citizen be
murdered in Mexico Germany would
not acquiesce like Great Britain then
I say to you senators there is immi-
nent danger of conflict between the
United States and this country with
which we should always be at peace.
81 believe the American people can
be left to handle any critical condi
ton provided they are informed on
the subject. | am net one who Do
lieves when the press is full Of To-
ports of outrages and details of
Mexico horrors tina. It can be in
compatible with the public interest,
to send to this Senate details OF out
RACES upon American citizens. am
not one who believes that the consti-
tuition should be pushed aside and
let one man assume the executive
and legislative powers of the govern
ment."

MAYOR FERN SAYS CITY
WILL STAND 40 PER CENT
FOR KAlMUKI STREETS

Mayor j. J. Fern took the supcryi.
sors by surprise last night by an
nouncing the policy of the board il
street improvements under the direct
frontage tax statutes. He didn't stop
to confer with the members, bull
spoke out at meeting" guided by his
judgment alone.
The supervisors have been asked
On numerous occasions 10 adopt a
definite and uniform policy with ref,
erence to these statutes, and state
what percentage of the costs of street
improvements made under them will
!>e borne by the municipality. Mayor
Fern spoke for the board, but not
with its consent, last night, declaring
that the city and county will pay III
per cent of the cost of street work,
the residents to pay the balance
You go back" said Mayer Fern to
several Kaimuki ;householders who
we're at the meeting asking for better
loads. and tell the people of Kali
muki that the mayor says the super
visors will agree TO pay 40 per cent
of the cost of the work, Kaimuki the
balance"
The supervisors looked up surpris-
ed. Supervisor Petrie said something
about the city and county being in a
very bad financial condition. But
Mayor Fern smiled, waved Tie o0jee-
tons away with sweep OF his hand.
and repeated what he had said.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir:
1t is said that recent ne
gCtiations between the United
States and Mexico will soon be
concluded and will have a far
wider scope than has hitherto
been suspected. Mexico, il is be-
lieved, will abandon her PredOmi-
nant influence in Central America
and Colombia and may make some
concessions TO the United States
in her oil regions. in return she
will obtain from the United States
a rectificatiCn CT her northern
frontier which will give her some
important towns in Texas and Cal
ifornia. This report bears out the
suggestion recently made that
Japan. Mexico and the United
States would be found all stand
ing together in one entente and
that the United States was even
now forming the third side CT the
triangle of which the other two
were Mexico and Japan.
1T is believed that basis for
a permanent settlement will he
found in the United States cad-
ing Japanese-speaking Hawaii. in

stems to the United States in

FACING AN UNCOMFORTABLE PROSPECT

Honolulu is facing a very serious situation
~ the water famine now approaching with in
exorable rapidty.
Reports today from the L. =. photographic
survey and the department Of public works in
dictate the gravity of conditions. With little
water i'm the hill and mountain streams, little
water i'm the reservoirs and a steadily falling ar
tesian '.lead," the summer of 1914 is likely to
zee n shortage in Honolulu disastrous To lawns,
trees and flowers and uncomfortable for resi-
dents
Meanwhile the board Of supervisors gives er-
1ly eYidefre of lack of ability to handle the sit
h;itioil resulting from the early transfer of the
Naferworks from the territory 10 the city.
MessTs petrie and Mcclellan take the attitude
that the wafer system is a lemon" and has been
s'wished' on the city and county. They palpably
shrink from tackling the problem.
in the face of a threatened water famine and
in the fact Of set of city officials obviously not
ready to accept their due responsibilities, the
Presidents and the taxpayers of Honolulu may
Nell feel alarm
sExpeiience Of something more than wear
with this hoard of supervisors has bred little
confidence in its future activities and lark of az
tiFity.

AN ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY

Henry Walsworth Kinney editor of the lilo
Tribune went back To the Crescent City today
after talking over with Governor Pinkham his
candidacy for superintendent of public instrnc.

like to see the Hilo editor at the head of the de-

a keen personal interest in education in the ter
ritory and has shown that he has ideas and can
fight for them Some of the best editorials in
