Gustaye Schuman, president Of the
Honolulu Brewing G. Mailing com,
Uany, in a letter TO the board OF Ii
cense commissioners made public at
the meeting yesterday afternoon. de-
clares emphatically that at no. time
has the company been interested in
the profits Of any saloon.
Another letter from the brewery was
said to have been sent to the commits
sion yesterday. requesting that the
commission retura the copy of the
Field report which has been fled and
stating that the brewery would be glad
to give the commission such parts OF
it's original draft OF the Field report
as bear on the matters actually I'M
der discussion by the board. How
ever. if such letter was sent and
received. it was not made public.
The letter given out yesterday is
as follows: L.. "-
Honolulu, Hawaii. June IS. 1915.
Board of License Commissioners, City
and County of Honolulu, Honolulu,
Hawaii.
Gentlemen MN conformity with a
settlement made by me to your Chair
man in a conversation between the
Chairman and myself. on yesterday, !
desire on behalf of the Honolulu
Brewing & Mating Company, Limited,
to make to your Board formal state
ment OF the alleged connection of the
Company of which am President
with the saloon business in Honolulu.
This statement is made by me after
consultation with such of the Direc-
tors of the COMPANY as are at present
in Honolulu, ard with their full &C
auiescence. might state that more
than a majority of the Board have
been consulted. -.
At no time whatever has the Com
pany been in any manner whatsoever
interested in the profits of any saloon,
save as profits accrued from the pur-
chase of beer manufactured by the
Company and purchased by the sa-
+ looms, At no time whatsoever has the
Brewery in making loans to any sa-
loon keepers, insisted, either directly
or indirectly, that the saloon keeper
making the loan should deal exclG-
siyely or at all in the beer manufac-
tured by the Brewery. ..... ...: .
From time t0atime the Brewery has
made loans to- saloon keepers, al.
though not by any means to the ex-
tent indicated in the public press. At
the present time loans made to saloon
keepers do not aggregate more than
about the sum of $25,00O.09. some of
these loans represent moneys ad-
vanced to saloon keepers, and some of
hT, fuaC rnc
given to secure open accounts. In
each instance provision is made for
the payment of interest. . g..
In most instances the loans made
by the Brewery to secure advances or
existing Indebtedness have been Sc
cured by mortgages on saloon fix

ton along lines such as suggested by
Mr. Wirtz. .....~.-: -.
The statement that Mr. Ichiyama
had obtained $4,000 for one of the four
notes given to the sellers is both RI
diculous and untrue, as is also the
statement that |, sold my note TO the
brewery The only note sold to the
brewery was Mr.. Bartlett's. The other
three have already. been exhibited to
your beard. They are not only I'M
paid, but the interest on them hasn't
been paid. L..
| made the above statement of the
Macfarlane Company $4,000 note trans
action to Mr.. H. Gooding Field shortly
after the departure of Mr.. Bartlett
and before Mr.. Fields report was COM
piled: Any deviation from it in his
report is either due to gross negll-
gence and incompeteney or to de-
liberate desire to guess rather. than
permit me to say that Mr. Field has
never seen nor has he asked to see
the books of or any data concerning
the Macfarlane Company, Limited.
After reading the foregoing Mr.. Car
den has suggested that | explain to
the commission the present status of
the Bishop. & Company note which
Ichiyama and associates agreed to pay,
and the $4,000 note which Mr.. Field er-
roneously stated was cashed by me.
On the 18th day of May. A. D. 1915,
in answer to request of Bishop 4
Company, the remaining portion of the
note, amounting to $1,000, and interest
amounting to S4g3.4S was paid by the
makers, the Macfarlane Company,
Limited. and the purchasers OF its
stock having neglected to make the
payments as agreed. The note is now
in my possession and if you desire /
shall be glad to exhibit it to you.
When eh.yama ana associates pur
chased the stock of the Macfarlanc
Company, Limited they borrowed from
the IiCnoiulu Brewing & Mating Com
pany, Limited, the sum of $4,000. this
upon the understanding that they
were to handle nothing but brewery
beer, the note to be paid at stfpu-
lated amount per month. The note
given By Mir. Ichiyama was signed 5.
Ichjyama. treasurer. the Macfarlane
/ Company, Limited making it an in
dividual nCte Of Mr.. Ichiyama instead
of a note of the corporation. The
matter was discovered by the board of

and in the event 1t was the latter, to

Clever RJSE
of Farmer to Save His Horses
But He Finally Gets We'll
Stunq.

HANOVER, July 23.The story
OF the too-clever farmer who over
reached iimself-he should have read
Aesop's Fables first is making the
rounds OF horse owners. None OF
them probably will attempt to initiate
him.
The government was drafting
horses for the army, and the farmer
who possessed q beautiful pair OF
bays, racked his brain for scheme
by which he could keep them. He
knew that If an Inspector ever laid
eyes on them they would be taken.
He finally hit upon the scheme of
inducing a neighbor, ewhose old and
rundown pair had been rejected. to
pass them through the line again
this time as his own. Among hun
dreds of horses the pair passing in
spectfon twice was not noticed, and
the farmers scheme had worked.
Before long, however, second
draft inspection was arranged for.
and the farmer did not dare to try
his ruse again. Instead he approach
ed the lieutenant in charge and in
sisted that It would do no good for
his horses to be inspected again, as
one was broken Winded and the
other had glanders.
of the farmer, nevertheless insisted
that the horses be shown, and they
were promptly accepted. The judge
then proceeded to break the farmers
heart by declaring that he would or
dfnarily have paid 5000 marks for
them, but that In view OF the far
mer's honesty in stating their defects
he would only give 1850 even
though the defects were not visible.

from shade off to a rise of 22le.
Although decided majority OF
dealers appeared to believe that no
sensational developments need be eY-
pected in the settlement OF May wheat
contracts. a feeling of uncertainty and
suppressed excitement was clearly evi-
dent. AS result business in new crop
months proved smaller than usual, few
tensive commitments until the question
was definitely settled as to whether
there would be an eleventh h-hour sur
prise regarding May. The only thing
approaching such an outcome was q
notable scarcity of May offerings at the
end. with a brief consequent furry on
the part of belated minor shorts.
Better weather predicted and the
absence of export demand had a good
deal to do with making new crop de-

no commercial necessities to be served.
American financiers and manufacturers
have only to address themselves to the
task of developing South American
trade and that trade will quickly call
into being an adequate merchant ma
rine. There is no need that the gov
ernment should step into the breach
and play the. role of shipmaster even
for brief period. In the American
system government is not a commercial
corporation and cannot go into mer-
camille enterprises. Its function is
rather to create the conditions in which
bankers. manufacturers and merchants
of the two continents can engage in
mutually profitable trade with each
other.
One of the significant incidents of the
opening session was the address of
Postmaster General Burleson. in which
that official announced that he would
aim at the establishment of 2-cent
postage for all the Americas and the
extension of the parcel post system at
moderate rates to all the Latin coun-
