HARB0R BOARD Is
PRR''l|hyIG|B BILLS
FOR legislature

Preliminary swork on legislative ar
fairs claimed much of the tarbor COM
missions attention at today's meeting
and beginning next Monday the board
will plunge into the details OF new
laws and appropriations on which 1t
wants tlfeseoming session to take &C
ton. The board may sit every eve
ming next week to formulate definitely
the requests it will put before the
Legislature
One of theSmost important acts the
sharbor commission will ask is law
creating q wharfage freight tax, as
already told in the Star-Bulletin
What the maximum rate should be,
whether sliding scale for cargoes OF
different character should be estab-
lished and whether the same tax
{ should amply equally to .cargoes on
transhipment from one island port
ito another, are points to be threshed
out by; the board before its request is
embodied in a bill.

mary Of the subjects on which a1egis-
lative action should be sought
Representatives of. the Associated
and Union Oil companies appeared
before the board today with request
for oil standpipes on Piers 6, and
10. The present pipeline leading to
these wharves. which was completed
about Is months ago by the territory
for the benefit Of the companies and
steamships, causes discrepancies as
to the amounts of fluid sold by the
competing concerns. and they said the
standpipes would relieve this .condi-
ton. The board has no funds for
their construction now however, and
while approving the suggestion. said
it could take no action until July.

ADMIRAL DENA
URGES JAPANESE
TO revere J.. 5.

Urging his fellow-countrymen in
Hawaii to devote their energies and
their patriotism to supporting their
adopted country and to Americanlzing
themselves, Yice-Admiral Dewa, COM
missioner to the San Francisco Expo
sition for Japans through the Star
Bulletin today spoke to the japanese
in this territory. - -
Asked by the 'Star-Bulletin, just be-
fore he. sailed for the Coast on the
Ghiyo Maru, what message he had
ferfhis People in Hawaii, he said;
Il would advise sall Japanese who
have their homes here, doing their
business under the protection of the
American flag, to be loyal to Hawaii.
They must be very loyal to America,
obey the laws of the country and try
to Americanize themselves and their
children. a. ~. :.~.'1@ -
"Try to be good examples of Ameri-
canned Japanese Hold good faith
and work in harmony with all the
good people here. Not only this, but
the Japanese must try their very best
to promote peace with the American
citizens in every respect. That is
their duty for the mother country and
the American government. .'
Admiral Dewa was much interested
in getting the facts regarding the
numbers and conditions of japanese
in Hawaii. He. appeared gratlfied
when Japanese newspaperman told
him his countrymen like Hawaii and
that there is no anti-Japanese agita-
ton here. 49,
Consul Aria, gave private dinner

First news OF the Washingtonian s
loss came to Alexander & Baldwin
eafly this morning and was soon gen.
orally known.
The Washington represented one
of the newer vessels among 26 big
freight carriers in the Amerlcan-Ha,
waiian fleet. 1t is the first total loss
that the company has sustained since
going into business as freight car
rier fifteen years ago. 1t was just
completing its first voyage.
Sympathy was expressed today by
local shipping men for Captain Brod-
head, who was making his first yoy-
age as its skipper. Captain Brodhead
has been identified with the company
for number of years. He bore the
reputation OF being well-versed and
skilfHI mariner, familiar with, coast
and harbors in the Atlantic and the
Pacific. sgt
! The Washington left the build
ers, during the early part of 1914. 1t
has been in commission less than six
months. Before the opening of the
Panama canal the Washingtonian was
employed in the movement of sugar
from Tehuantepec to New York.
The steamer resembled in tonnage
and equipment the Georgian, Iowan

Terminal for Street Railway of the
e. Fort Shafter reservation.
J l.. Reference your letter of Deeem-.
Der 16, 1914, concerning terminal ia
sciiities on Fort Shafter reservation for
electric line, you are advised that it
is my'opinion that che present line of
the Street Car Company should be ex.
tended, along King Street, to a point
opposite the present Bachelor Officers
Quarters, as shown in yellow on en-
closed blueprint
4 2. The approved plan of the War
Department provides for the establish,
ment of reserve storehouses on the
Fcrt Shafter reservation, on the South
side of King Street, near the Waikiki
edge of the reservation. 1t will be de-
sirable to have connection with the
electric line to these storehouses, and
a tentative location is shown in yell
low.
3. In case this post is materially
enlarged, as is possible, it would be
highly desirable to have loop through
the reservation, connecting the vari-
GUS units of the garrison, somewhat
as roughly indicated in red on the
blueprint.
