to account for an epithet which he had

Rough seas continued outside the
harbOr yesterday. Both reefs broke
heavily all day. The wind was back
in south southeast at nightfall, after
veering slightly to the west during the
day. 30 long as the kUna continues
to blow there will be rain, and the

The German steamer Holsatia, an

sumably to get better holding ground.
1t could not be ascertaincd whether
her anchors had dragged, but Capt. J.

took the British steamer Navarino to

Officers of the HoIsatia INTENDED

Officers Of the Hill steamer Great

WELL-KNOWN Man
HAS PASSED AWAY
Harry Wright Dies After Long
and Useful Residence In Ha-
Waiian Islands

Harry Wright, one of the best known
members of the British colony in this
Territory, died at his residence, 1857
Kali street, Kalihi, at seven clock
on Christmas morning.
Deceased was born in Langton, Dur.
ham, England, sixty two years ago, and
came to Honolulu in 1883, arriving in
the steamer City of Sydney from Eng
land. He was a brother of W. w.
Wright of this city, who came to Hon.
Olulu first of four brother. After the
death of Harry wright's first wife, his
brother, W. w. Wright, sent for Harry
and he and another brother, Tom
Wright, came out together.
Harry Wright first went to work as
Works, where he remained for two
years. He then went to Sprecklesville
in similar capacity, and remained
there for five years. Returning to Ho-
nolulu, Harry Wright went into bust
ness with his brother Tom as ship 5

for eighteen years. There premises
were adjoining those of the Honolulu
Planning Mill, in lower Fort street.
Deceased next went to work as mas.
ter blacksmith with Cation, Neill &
Co., remaining with that firm for FIVE
years, at the end of which time he ac

way and Land Company, which he filed
until sickness caused him to lay aside
the implements of his trade, last Octo
Der.
Harry Wright was married twice,

Fred Wright, a member of the mounted
patrol; George Wright, a member of
the local fire department; Jack Wright,
and Mrs. John Pascoe Of this city. By
his second wife, who survives him, de-
ceased had one child, Andrew.
Harry Wright was well known and
universally respected. He was a mas
ter of his craft and one of the squar-
est men these Islands have ever known.
In this connection it may be mentioned
that at the graveside, an old friend of
deceased, discussing the departed with
another old friend, remarked 81 don't

Customs Receipts
Making Good Gain
Over Last Years

Customs receipts for the district of
Hawaii, which is Honolulu principally
have averaged twenty per cent
more for the first five months of this
fiscal year than during the same period
last year: this despite reductions in
the tariff
Estimates are that the receipts for
the fiscal wear of 1856, ending June
80, 1916, will exceed $l,25O,0OO. Re,
ceipts for 1915 were $1,0l9,534.62, as
compared with $l,1S4 ,416.l2 for 1914
and 81 1863, 5l2.39 for 1913, which was
the district 5 best year,
Although Honolulu showed a falling
off from 1914 to 1915, the loss was
general throughout the country, and
that here was comparatively small. Total
receipts for the nation during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1914, were $29s,
$4,000; for the year ending June 30,
1918, $2l2, 10000; a decrease of 1885,
10000.
The general decrease had two causes
lower duties and less imports, the lat
ter being due to the war, which has
cut down the export trade of every
European nation. Honolulu S imports
have felt the war onl y slightly, as most
of the imports are from the Orient. The
loss, therefore, has not been so large,
comparatively. as districts that import.
ed chiefly from Europe. Typical i'm
ports from Europe were English
wOOlens and German fOOdstuffs; as for
the latter, they have ceased.

IMPORTANT BILLS
INTEREST HAWAII
Chamber OF Commerce Is Franz
ing Program Affecting Ger
tain National Legislation

Secretary Raymond c. Brown of the
chamber of commerce is mapping out q
program to begin the new year on and
among the matters to be taken up early
and pushed through are the bills re-
comfy introduced in congress having
to do with vocational and military
training schools and the amendments
to the Seaman s Act
The Vocational School Bill was intro
duced in the last congress, but died
with the adjournment. 1t has been
introduced again in the present CON
gress and its wording makes it apply
to states only. This bill provides for
the appropriation by congress of sew,
eral hundred thousand dollars the year
of its passage for the purpose of es-
tablshing vocational schools and is so
worded that by 1924 $3,OOOO0O a year
will be spent by the government for
this purpose.
The provisions Of the Military
Training School Bill are not known
here, as no copy of the bill has been
received, but as it was introduced, ap-
plies only to states, also.
1t will be the endeavOr of the cham
Der of commerce to have it shown to
congress that Hawaii should partici-
pate in the benefits to be secured from
these two bills should they pass and
early action is expected from the com
mittee to which the matters will be
referred so that the chamber as a body
may get busy and make its recommen.
datiOns.
The chamber also will take action on
the proposed tax on mail order houses,
which forms the subject of another
bill to be introduced in congress. 1t
is estimated that these concerns do
business of more than $50 10000 a
year between states which is not
taxed. They compete with established
business houses in communities, which
are under great expense for salaries,
rent and taxes. The mail order houses
pay no tax except in the state in which
they have their principal places of
business, but do business in every state
and territory of the union. The tax
proposed will be a federal one.

ITEM IN MILITARY
BILL RAISES QUERY
Provides Pay For $4,000 More
Men Than Garrison Plan
@'% Calls For

The estimates Of appropriations called
for by the secretary Of the treasury for
the coming fiscal year under the com
ing requirements for the war depart.
ment operations contain one significant
item which appears to give color to the
belief voiced by several leading main.
land newspapers that the administers.
ton really expects congress will pass a
much more generous military bill than
that proposed by the administration.
Under the head of "Pay of the
Army" there are contained many. i'm
creases over last year, due to the gen
eral plan for increasing the number of
officers and enlisted men of the army to
obtain the strength which may be de-
termined by congress. For the enlisted
men the estimate calls for the coming
year pay for 177,436 privates. This
number is over thirty-six thousand in
excess of the number proposed by Sec
crease to the army.
1t is the belief in Washington that
President Wilson desired to convince
the Bryan wing of his party that he is
not inclined to be militaristic in the
least; that his plans for army increase
are very modest and not incompatible
with, the belief of the fearless leader
If the Republicans, reinforced by a
number of Democratic votes in con
gress, are able to pass a bill for a
larger increase, this, he wishes under
stood, is none of his doing. Pertinent
questions as to the reason for this large
item in the estimates have been asked

neglect any children, but care for
them properly, if there is any. The
artificial laws of the church slapped
into our Illinois statutes are bias
phemy to the laws of the Creator, and
church people know it.
A woman should not be compelled
to live with a man who is virtually
killing her with the tortures of the
damned, just because artificial sta
tute law says so. That is why so
many husbands are murdered as well
as wives. The laws of a country
should conform to the laws of ma

not we are disappearing the Creator

and death. When women get their
full rights many of these unjust laws
