ant Dredging at This Port
Is Dropped
IMMEDIATE ACTION AT
WASHINGTON Is NEEDED
Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee Taking Interest: =.
Meeting is Called

Unless immediate representations
are made at Washington, ID. C., Hone
lulu harbor will not be included in the
. rivers and harbors bill and will re-
ceiye no appropriation for mainten'
ance for the coming fiscal year.
g, A letter has been received by Ray
mond c. Brown, secretary OF the Ho-
nolulu Chamber OF Commerce, from
Prince Kuhio. Hawaii's delegate to
= Congress, stating that the committee
submitting the bill at Washington
pruned the Honolulu appropriation
cut CT the measure and that 1t prob
ably will be passed by Congress with
out provision for the local barbor un-
less steps are, taken to restore the
appropriation.
As a result q special meeting of the
committee on maritime affairs was
called at the Chamber OF Commerce
rooms this morning. After an hours
discussion the meeting adjourned until
tomorrow fore action. AT tomorrows
meeting a definite program for the
restoration of the Honolulu appropri.
alton TO the bill may be%mapped out
..
The policy of the present national
administration of starting no new pro-
jects and using available funds for
completion of old work, is given as
the reason for Honolulu harbor being
left cut of the bill
kahuiui Gets $4,000. -g-ss.i
The only item of local interest car
ried In the bill is $4,000 for mainten
ance OF Kahului hArbor. The sum OF
100000 was asked by local army en-
gineers for extensive dredging OF the
coral shoals on the Quarantine island
aide Of Honolulu harbor, and this is
not included.
Some dredging in Honolulu ,harbor
will be done in the near future. how,
ever, under an allotment of $90,OUU
which has just been made available,
out OF a total appropriation of $20.-
100000, which was given in lump
sum to the chief of engineers for
necessary Improvement work The
dredging will be done on the Honolulu
side of the harbor, and will widen and
improve the channel considerably for
its entire length. Specifications for
this dredging will y issued from the
office of the distri engineer officer,
1ieut-col. Bromwe on January IL.
Bids will be opened February 10 at
III a. m.
From the 0.OO0. 900 total there also
has been allotted for Hawaii $4,000
for Kahului harbor so that If the riy-
ers and har6ors bill goes Though
hf,~r Nxn.fl1 "a
hului. This must last until June 80,
1916, but il is estimated that the sum
will be ample to keep harbor and
breakwater in repair under ordinary
conditions.
For Hilo breakwater there is still
s44S,000 available, but as there has
been a long delay in the work none
CT this is being paid out.
The Importance OF immediate action
probably viii be brought before other
organizations or the citS
1t regular and special sessions.

CpmentS as pointing toward feasible
plan for the construction of this road
The details of the railroad scheme
have been much discussed for several
months past and are rather complex.
In fact, two railroad schemes have
been in process OF discussion. One OF
these is the plan CT Col. Z. s. Spalding
Of Makee Sugar Company. as outlined
IN an interview in the Star-Bulfetin
several weeks ago. Under this plan
Col. SpaIding would extend the plan
taticn line, which ships from Kealia,
to serve government and homestead
lands. The other scheme is that OF
Lihue plantation to extend its line.
Thus the government lands may be
approached from two almost opposite
directions 1t is the Lihue line thai
is the subject of local negotiation now.
E. NJ. Cheatham, Fred r. Tracy and
c. E. French, Nhomesteaders in the
district needing railroad service, came
to Honolulu and have had confer
ence with the governor They will
probably return tonight. They have
nothing to say for publication.
1t is reported that Col. Spalding
called meeting of cane-growers a
week ago and offered new contracts,
to pay 81 Per ten for cane for every
cent in tie sugar price; that is, with
sugar at four cents. he would pay 81
per ton for cane
With two railroads possibly com
peting for shipments and two planta,
tons available as cane market. the
outlook for the homsteader in the Ka-
paa region is expected to brighte
materially.

MONARCHY IN
CHINA SOON
BE A REALITY.
United States Is Opposed
To Change the Form
Of Government.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The resig-
nation of Nsu Shaih Chang, the Chi
nese premier, was announced today in
an official telegram from Picking.
The reason was not given, but it is
presumed he does not sympathize
with the proposed change from re-
public to a monarchy.
The United States has declined to
express any opinion on the proposed
change in the Chinese government, it
became known today, although it is
understood that privately officials OPP
pose the change because of natural
sympathy for the Republicans from
government, and because of the belief
that the change might affect the equi-
ibrium in the far east. Interested
powers have been trying to sound the
United States on its attitude toward
the change, but China has not asked
for its views.

LEVY FORCED LOAN OF
100000 PESOS ON BANK

Mazatlan, Mex, Oct. 29.-The Ma
zatlan authorities are reported to
have levied a forced loan of 100000
pesos upon the Occidental bank here,
a foreign owned corporation, princi-
pally Spanish. The bank is said to
have been given ten days in which to
pay, after which penalty will be
added daily for twenty days aud then
II not paid, the banks property will
be confscated. The bank is said tc
have refused tc pay.
Francisco de Sevilia, an official OF
the Occidental bank, was executed e
year age by the Mazatlan authorities

compromising letter to his sister, the
wife of the Spanish ambassador tc
Mexico, concerning some political
matter. Sevilla was more than &c
years old and the letter had been
sent two years before.

MAKING
PROBED.
BY THE POLICE
Secret Service Men AS
signed to Case Are Work
ing On New Theory.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 29.-Secret service
men assigned to the cases of Robert
Fay, the confessed bomb plotter, and
four others charged with conspiracy
in planning to disable ships laden
with war munitions for the allies,
worked on a rumor today that the
bombs used by Fay were similar to
those which had caused fires on Ger
tain transatlantic ships last sum-
mer.
Last month small fires were re-
ported on ships loaded with sugar.
In one instance sugar ship on its
arrival in an European port reported
that two bombs discovered on board
while the vessel was at sea, had
failed to explode. -.s.t
Two circumstances drew the atten-
ton of secret service men to the FAY
case. One was that, the fires on the
ships were caused by chlorate of pot
ash, the same material which Fay
says he used in preparing bombs to
attach to ships rudders and propel-
lers. Another circumstance was that
several of the ships which discovered
fires aboard had sailed from piers in
the Hudson river, not far from the
boat house at Weehawken, N. J..
where Fay with Walter L. Schol2
his brother-in-law, kept a powerful
| motor boat together with explosives.
The details obtained of the fires or
the sugar ships are being compared
by assistants of United States Dis.
trict Attorney H. Snowden Marsha
with the disclosures made by Fay:
confession to determine what connec
ton, if any, the present allied con
spiracy had with the attempts to de
stroy sugar ships.
