SCHOOL WARRANTS
TO BE REGISTERED
UNTIL NEXT MAY.

The territorial school fund Is ex-
hausted, and the governor and terri
torial treasurer announced today that
all school warrants must be register
ed from now until the latter part Of
next May. This order includes teach
ers' salary warrants as well as war
rants for all other expenses Of the ed
ucationaI department, but it does not
mean any hardship or financial loss to
the instructors.
1T merely means the teachers, after
receiving their warrants from the aud
itor, must present them at the treas
urer's office for registration, after
which they can cash the paper at any
of the downtown banks" said the
treasurer Interest must be paid on
the warrants, of course, but that re-
sponsibiHty is assumed by the govern
ment The teachers or any others re.
ceiVing warrants will be paid the full
face value of the paper
This condition will exist until May
15, when the taxes will begin coming
in, but the bulk Of the tax payments
probably viii not be received until
late In that month This depletion Of
the school fund has been foreseen for
some time and does not come as any
surprise to the officials, who have
made all preparations to meet the sit
Uati0n satisfactorily.

continue for six months Major Pierce
was for some years very prominent
in the football world as he was the
first president of the intercollegiate
football association and held that po-
sition for a number of years.
While occupying that position he
was most influential in the revision OF
the rules of the game and was in the
main responsible for the changes that
eliminated mass play and other dan
gerous features of play that threaten
ed the life of the game. Had 1T not
been that he was obliged to leave the
states for the necessary tour of for

officers it is certain that he would still
be in office as president of the in

HARBOR
DRYDOCK EXPERT
HAS BIG RECORD
Frederick r. Harris Succeeded
in Solving the Complicated
Brooklyn Problem

The Pearl Harbor drydock has been
the cause of much loss and worry to
the United States government, and to
the contractors, but as an outlaw it
can't hold a candle to the one that
has recently been completed at the
Brooklyn navy yard. Now the man
who finally solved the complicated
problems of construction on the At
lantic side, has been named for the
second time on special board that Is
to consider changes to the Pearl Har-
Dor ship basin. He is Civil Engineer
Frederick r. Harris, U. S. N, who
was here last year as member of
the Gayler board that investigated the
disaster to the local dock last year.
It is admitted, however, that condi-
tions here are totally different from
those at the Brooklyn dock, and If
Harris is to again make good, he will
have to evolve an entirely new me-
thod of procedure. ...-. ~

lowing story of the battle at Brooklyn,

Unenyiable Distinction Before it is
Completed? -. '.... .

Judge Henry E. Cooper this morning,
when he was found in his chambers
at the judiciary building.

cisions in civil cases to complete and

Judge Cooper says he expects to
leave on his schooner, the Luka, for
the Palmyra islands about March 16
or IL, taking with him one or two
personal friends and four Tahitians,
the latter to form the nucleus of a
Tahitian colony he intends establish

employing in the copra business The
members comprising the Luka's crew
and the Tahitians have been engaged,
Captain Emil Piltz probably will be
taken On as navigator or master and
ID. Howard Hitchcock, the artist, has
been asked to join the party as a guest

The south sea islanders whom the
Judge proposes placing on Palmyra
will be expected TO make preparations
for the additional number who are to
be taken there later constructing
houses and outbuildings IN the ne
Tahitian fashion, without lumber and
with only branches. leaves and grass
for building material. fs=
The Luka, after undergoing a gen.
eral oyerhauling and repairing on the
marine railway was taken back to
Pearl Harbor Saturday, where she now
is receiving a general cleaning. She
must then be filed with a large, care
fully selected cargo of provisions for
the trip and such materials as the
colonists will require for their work
on the islands. =.

ASHFORD name
CONNECTED WITH
CIRCUIT BENCH
Persistent Rumor Among the
Democrats That Local Attor-
ney May Be Appointed

A persistent report the latter part
of last week circulated in political
circles connecting the name of Attor-
ney Clarence w. Ashford with posi-
BILE appointment to a circuit Judge
ship. One well-known Democrat ven
tured the prediction that Mr.. Ash
ford's name would be shortly brought
to the attention of the secretary Of
the interior for his consideration and
reference to the departments of justice
and the president. On Saturday the
rumor was widespread that cable
grams had already gone forward
Whether Mr.. Ashford's name has
been brought out because of the retire
ment from the bench Of Judge Henry
E. Cooper could not be definitely as
certained Mr.. Ashford has been a
candidate for the supreme bench but
he has received strong backing, it is
believed, for place on the circuit
list
Governor Pinkham was asked this
morning about the report but declined
to discuss it.
Several Democrats give the report
entire credence and are expecting de-
yelopments IN Washington.

Four New Corporations Win
Make Donations Compare
tive Figures of z Years

Corporations to the number of four,
doing a public utility business in this
territory, this year will for the first
time come under the jurisdiction of
the public utilities commission and,
with the several other concerns in the
same class, this month are due to
pay to the commission fees consisting

1913, and ore-twentieth Of one per
cent of their gross income during 1913.
This information was given out to-
day by z. A. Mott-Smith, chairman of
the commission, the new companies
being Young Brothers, Ltd. incorpor-
ated May 5, 1918; Waiahi Electric Co,
Ltd, Incorporated September 10, 1913;
Oahu Shipping Company, Ltd, incor-
porated November 26, 1913, and the
Lahaina Ice Company. The latter con-
cern was missed by the commission
last year and this year will be re-
quired to pay fees for both this and
last years business, says Mr.. Mott
Smith. Taking into consideration the
increase and decrease in the income
of the several companies now under
the jurisdiction Of the commission,
Mr. Mott-Smith points out that this
year the commission will receive about
$275 more income than in 1913. Those
companies which have not yet report

RETRENCHMENT
POLICY Will BE
Stern NECESSITY
Low Sugar and Short Yield
Given as Reason for Lower
Figures from Plantations

A lean year Is In prospect for the
territorial AMI county governments,
judging from the first survey OF the
tax returns taken by the territorial
tax equalization board which began its
work this morning In the judiciary
building. Low sugar prices through
out last year. combined with big short
age OF yield on many Of the piahta-
tions due TO drouth, have caused q big
shrinkage In values. according TO the
returns made by practically all OF the
big corporations, the taxes from which
are depended upon to supply sone-
thing like 80 per cent Of the revenues
OF course Il is expected that the
board will boost up the figures in the
returns in considerable degree before
II gets through. but even at that the
income for government purposes is go
ing 70 be whole lot lower than for
a long time past. and this notwith-
standing the increased rate fixed for
the various counties at the beginning
Of the year,
From casual survey 1t is most evf
dent that the policy Of retrenchment
advocated and put into early practice
by Governor L. z. Pinkham must be
carried out In all departments of the
territorial and county governments.
Lack Of funds will make this policy
an absolute necessity. Just how much
the taxes win amount to this year
can not as yet be determined with any
degree OF accuracy.

THEN
and

F'orty-nine years go today the
worlds first meeting of the Saliva
ton Army was held. 1t took place
in an old patched tent erected in an
ancient burial ground in the White
chapel district OF London. The first
preacher was William Booth, a cler-
gyman who was at that time without
a church. He had been called upon
to take the place Of the regular min
lister, who was lying i'll at his home
The first congregation was made up
Of "a mass Of people, many OF them
evidently withou; God, or hope In the
world After the meeting Booth hur-
RED TO his home and exclaimed 10

destiny, As l passed by the doors Of

seemed to hear voice sounding in
my ears: Where can you find such
heathens as these. and where is there
so great need for your labors?' And
there and then IN my soul | Offered
myself AMI you and our children up
to this great work" This was ;he
beginning of a worldwide organiza-
ton. From that day meetings were
held regularly. On the third Sunday
the tent blew down and was wrecked
beyond repair. Having no money for
another and without funds TO rent a
building, Booth preached in the open
air. Finally he secured the use OF
an old dance hall that was not in
use on Sundays. Weekday meetings
were held in a dilapidated shed, for
merly a storehouse for old rags. As
the Army grew, it was forced into
the streets; narrow alleys, abandoned
saloons, or unoccupied theatres be-
came Salvation Army chapels.
Mrs. Fieldbinder also took two Or
rhan children TO the home, and on
her return. she reported that they
were received with gladness. and
with great hopes Of a better life, both
for the woman and the orphans. This
is a grand work, but l fear very few
are able to know what a great sac
rifce it is to do this work, but we
are expecting TO reap the reward in
the other life.
We ask all good people to help Us
hold up a clear standard OF Chris
tian practice.
Respectfully,

THE UNION MISSION.

Well our Mission is getting along
well, not so much on some lines, hut
there is a deep undercurrent OF spirit
uality, and a few faithful workers.
who are always found at their post
Of duty in Christian work. Our 81
perintendeut, Mrs. Fieldbinder, has re-
turned from the Pilot Point Rescue
and Orphans Home. where she has
made arrangements with Mr.. Roberts,
who is the manager and superintend-
ent OF the home. to take all whom
she would bring to the home.
Most OF the citizens here know
"Josey, the coke tiend," who used to
be such a pest on our streets. Sister
tIeldbinder rescued her about a year
ago, and she is still in this home, IN
fine health, and completely delivered
from coke" and other evil habits.
Alma is another girl who has been
running at will on our streets, and
the workers at the mission took her
up and we got her to 90 to the homo.
