COALING Device
WILL Be TESTED
American Warships to Partici-
pate in Experiments in TAX
ing On Fuel at Sea

Some important tests will occur with
ships of tho Atlantic fleet while they
are in Cuban waters and in the neigh.
bOrhood of the naval station at
Guantanamo, now that the vessels are
destined TO postpone the trip to the
west coast through the Panama Canal
until July. This test will be an ex.
tensive series Of cOaling at sea, in
which the naval GOLFERS attached to
the feet will be employed. These col
liers are equipped with a type APP
paratus, which has demonstrated it's
efficiency, and which is proposed . for
installation on new colliers as they are
ready for service. 1t is desired to
know in what direction improvements
may be made and to what extent coal
ing at sea may be conducted in order
that the efficiency of ships in time of
war may be maintained by a renewal
Of the exhausted fuel supply without
the necessity of returning to coaling
depot. 1t was originally planned that
the battleshtp Rhode Island should be
.used in this connection, but the vessel
has been obliged to come North, to q

docking.
This win render il necessary for the
commander. in chief Of the fleet to
select another ship, and possibly more
than one of the big vessels will be Gu
gagged on this work. The instructions
which will govern the test require a
transfer of coal from the GOLFERS to
the battleship under all sorts Of condi'
tions of weather and sea, it being de,
sired to have as convincing and
thorough demonstrations as it is pos
sible, and to anticipate the varied cir
cumstances under which cOaling at sea
will be carried on in time of war. II
has already been shown during the
present war in Europe that isis i'm
portant to keep vessels at sea with as
little interruption as may be, TO thu

"With God s help, we II see this thing

Doctor Baker asked Doctor :Wadman
to further explain the significance of
the Lincoln abstinence oath and the
Honolulu clergyman informed the chill
dren that "seeing this thing through "
applied. of course, to. fighting the
saloon, fighting King Alcohol. l.,
emo more rum" were the closing
words of the chorus and the young
hundreds intoned them effectively.
They appeared to like the phrase and
doubtless will be humming it for
weeks to come, at home and going to
and coming from school.
Doctor Baker introduced Mr.. Met
calf, who is travelling with him, saying
that he was a business man who was
doing everything in his power for the
benefit of children. Mr.. Metcaif
stated that Jit gave him peculiar
pleasure to look upon so many faces
and hatiopalities represented. He had
never before had just such an expert
ence. He had observed what a great
amount Of good had been accomplished
by the Christian workers here and
thought these islands fortunate. He
concluded by declaring that in very
few years there would not be a drop
of alcohol sold In the islands or any
where else in the United States, and
that this meeting in the grounds of
the Honolulu capitol would some day
be a pleasant memory to the men and
women who, as little children, had
gathered here on this occasion. Long
before they grew up, he said, all rum
would he abolished beneath the
Stars and Stripes.
After singing "Aloha De, Hawaii
Ponoi" and "My Country IT'S of
Thee" the children went their sev.
eral ways in charge of the teachers
and guardians who had accompanied
them throughout.

HAWAII COUNTY
WILLPAY BILLS
Wants Legislature to Authorize
Discharge Of Many oblga- =
tons Contracted In 1914 :.

County Attorney W. H. Beers Of
Hilo is in Honolulu to take up with the
legislature the matter of Hawaii coun.
ty's unpaid bills Of the year 1914, ag.
grekating more than $4,000. These
are bills passed by the supervisors last
year but held up by the auditor be-
cause there were no funds In the treas
ury to pay them. As the law prohibits
paying the bills Of one year out OF the
revenues Of another II Is necessary for
an act Of the legislature to authorize
Hawaii county to pay these 1914
claims out Of the 1918 money. There
are more claims, in the hands of the
county clerk, nbt yet presented TO the
board. 20 go I3' Y
Even the day 'iaborers of the district
have not drawn their pay for Noyem-
Der and December of last year, and
some of them for October, and Road
Supervisor Vierra 3 salary Is held up.
IL Is understood that the labOrers have
got credit as best they could, at various
stores, on the strength Of the money
that was coming TO them: The recent
work on Front street in Hilo was done
on this basis. Supervisor Ewaliko held
that the work was so necessary IL had
TO be done somehow, and he went
ahead on credit, and even the pick and
shovel men worked on credit.
The unpaid payrolls Of October, No
vember and December account very
llRrgely for the size of the South Hilo
figures in the table of unpaid bills APP
pearing below. The rest of the bills In
the district, as in all the others, are
fnr annUltoa "a L..
of all sorts are the creditors. Some Of
the bills are as old as last July. There
Is money to pay them now, and It is
expected that the. legislature will pass
an enabling mt, in which case war.
rants will be issued. At the same time
the legislature is being asked to pass
an act, drawn by Deputy County At.
torney Heen, which will give force To
| the criminal section of the law pro
hibiting supervisors from exceeding
their appropriations. a..,-1
/ But for the unsettled payrolls OF
South Hilo, North Hilo would have
several times as large a deficit as any
other district. As 1t is, her total Of
$8530.51 is nearly twice that of South
Hilo. This Is owing to the many bill,
contracted, without authorization, By
former Supervisor Kealoha. They ar,
for work actually done, and for ma
ehinery and supplies delivered, ant
there is no question as to their correct
moss. But they were far beyont
what the board had aPportioned Il
that district, Kealoha having gone
ahead on his own hook. As the county
got the benefit of the work, the boarc
voted to approve them and, the auditor
now awaits authority to issue warrants
for them.

 OF RAILROAD STOCK
By "Hop"

New York, March 2.-C. H. Venner New York banker, made public today a letter he sent yesterday to the interstate commerce commission defending the pur- chase from him by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway company in 1904 of the stock of the Nebraska Central Railway company. He asserted published excerpts from the testimony in the Rock Island investigation had created a false impression.
 Mr. venner referred to testimony by Frederick c. Sharood, an examiner for the commission, that the stock was worthless and that the late Robert Math- CT, then vice president of the Rock Island company, paid MT. venner s250.00o for 1t in settlement of a lawsuit then pending. MT. Venner complained that he had not been given an opportunity to be heard. He asked that his letter he made part of the record.
 AS the testimony now stands,'' he wrote, "the late MT. Mather Is implicitly charged with having acted imprQvidently for the company he represented. Among those who knew him, his high character and astuteness should be sufficient an swer."
 MT. Venner denied that Senator Ham, ilton Lewis. then his attorney, had any thing to do with the negotiations.
