EXTRA Session WOULDNOI BE TO

Congressional Party Members Point Out Whole Subject of
America on the Seas Would Be Considered Sinking OF
GuIfght Technicay More Serious Than Lusitania Affair

neutrality rights of far graver ma.
tiire than the sinking of thetL usftania,
though the awfulness of the latter dis.
aster dwarfs the significance of the
former in public opinion for the time
being.
"The United States government Ger.
tainly should be more concerned over
the to-pedoing of the Gulfiight than
the sinking of the Lusitania, regret
table though the latter most undoubt-
eddy was. =; e.
"In view OF the publicity given by
the Germans to the warning to neu-
trails that they took passage on ships
of the Allies at their own risk, and the
report that munitions of war were in.
cluded in the cargo of the Lusitania,
the torpedoing of the liner is not in
my opinion of so grave character as
the destruction of the Gulflight.
IF the reports asked for by the state
department should show that no MUM
tons of war were carried by the Lusi"
tania, in my opinion there will be an
extra session of Congress called. The
destruction of the Gulfight also will
undoubtedly have bearing on this.
I'm calling Congress together it does
not necessarily mean that war will be
declared, but no doubt the question
of future transatlantic travel by Amer
lean citizens will be considered and
some action taken" l..
That the United States is not now
prepared for a war that might result
out of the Lusitania sinking is the
intimation expressed by more than one
congressman. 49,.

IN ELECTION ON
THE BIG ISLAND
Campaign Described as Mud
Singing and Full of
Knitting .'...

Especial Star. Bulletin Correspondence
HILo. May SELECTION day has
come and gone once more and. as far
as supervisors and other county Off
Gals go, there will be a welcome rest
for a couple of years. Never before
has there been such mud-slinging
campaign, and the cheerful manner
in which Republicans knitted brother
Republicans and Democrats cut
the throats of fellow Democrats was a
wonder to behold. All sorts of stories
went the rounds and, if half of them
are true there would appear to be a
necessity for general cleaning up.
kauhane Wins. ..s.
The fIgnt for the position of super
visor-at-large was Just as keen and
close as everyone expected it would
be. The majority OF 162 votes by
which Sam Kauhane defeated David
Ewaliko was a small One, and if w. e.
Edmonds had not been In the running
on the Home Rule ticket, the result
would probably have been even clos
er. r. b, .H..... ~ II. :.
In West Hawaii Kauhane ran away
from Ewaliko and he polled $40 votes
TO David's 298-a majority of SAB,
which, as matter of fact, gave him
the election, as Ewaliko had no hope
of making up the difference in East
Hawaii In East Hawaii Ewaliko, by
polling 976 votes to Kanhane's 500,
made up some of the leeway, but could
not make 1t all up. /. IS
Sam Kauhane is the first supervis.
or-at-large of the county of Hawaii,
and while those who voted for him
are certain that he will give all the
districts a square deal, those who did
not support him are relying upon his
pledged word that he will show favor
to none. .
Hapai's Huge Vote.
The race for the position of county
clerk was a one-sided affair and Ar
chic Hapai beat his opponent, J. G.
Andrews, by three to one vote. Ha.
pats huge total of 1851 votes makes
q record that he may well be proud of
Andrews made a far better showing
than many people expected and, by
scoring 635 votes, he did we'll for
new man.
The supervisorial race in East Ha-
wall was a close and exciting one as
regards the first four men on the list.
W. A. Todd, who headed the ticket
with 904 votes, defeated the second
man, Eugene Lyman, by a majority of
IL votes, and that was exciting enough
for anything. A. NJ Cabrinha, who
came third on the list. was 80 votes
behind Eugene Lyman. That was also
a close contest Henry J. Lyman, who
polled 797 votes, lost out in the race
for the position of supervisor by just
So votes. That showed how close the
vote was
Democrats Missed Chance.
Between Henry Lyman and the next
man, j. A. M. Osorio, there was a big
gap as the last named only polled 424
votes. The Democratic vote fell down
through having three men on the tick

for one man, that man might have
topped the whole ticket. in all, go

Senators Albert B. Cummins of Iowa
and Reed Sn1oot 81. Btaii and other
members of the congressional party
who remained in Honolulu are taking
a very active interest In the. Lusitania
incident and the developments in
Washington '~.
Senator cummins Is quoted as say
ing yesterday: .....
Il have no nesitancy in Saying thai
/ believe special session of Congress
will be called by President Wilson.
But il will not be for the purpose of
a declaration of war. The sinking of
the Lusitania has made il conclusive
that it is unsafe for Americans to trav-
ell in British ships. It is apparent that
American products are unsafe in Brit
ish bottoms or in any bottoms for that
matter It remains that the United
States must provide ships for it's citi-
zens to travel to any part of the globe
to which they may desire to go. 1t
remains equally true that American
goods which are not contraband will
be safe only In American ships. The
solution is that American ships must
be provided for passengers ana pro-
ducts even if the government has to
buy the ships. This can only be done
through Congress.
Senator Smoot is quoted as sayint
yesterday: &.s
81 think it probable that special
session of Congress will be called on
account of the sinking of the Lusitania
and the American steamer Gulflight.
To my mind the torpedoing of the
Gulfiight constituted violation of

WOULD STANDARDIZE
MISSOURI SCHOOLS.


That every boy and girl in Missouri
may have an equal chance to attend
a good school, and that each school
may be as good as the best now. is
the end that representatives of the
School of Education of the University
of Missouri have IN view in study
of school conditions they are making.
That a reorganization of the school
system is necessary is seen by the in
veStigatorS.
Abner Jones, Peabody fellow in ed
ucatiOn at the University of Missouri.
and Prof j. u. cliff, inspector of .ac--
credited schools for the University of
Missouri, approve of a plan presented
to the State Teachers Association dur
for giving Information publicity to t
conditions of the schools Of the state.
This would have as it's object the
naturalization Of all Missouris public
schools 1t involves improved facilities,
reorganization and aid for weaker
schools, and minimum salary for
teachers.
Educational surveys completed in two
counties and In progress In others fur-
ject A report Of a survey of the eais
cational conditions in Reynolds County
will be published in a few months by
the University.
Not only the Standardization of the
public schools Is considered by the ad-
vocates Of the improved system, but
also a division Of work with the state
to aid in standardizing pri-
vate schools and junior colleges. Pro-
lessor Elliff probably will give more
time than usual this year to the in-
spection of the schools giving highec
courses than the regular high schools
