Be Careful About Fire

THE fire which has been destroying the forest
L in the Waianae range is powerful warning
to trampers, campers and others of the destruc-
ton which may easily follow moments careless

guished might, and frequently does. mean the loss
Of forest growth worth many thousands of dollars
On Oahu, where the preservation of the mauka
forests is essential to the conservation OF the water
supply, the forest fire menace is serious one and
the precautions against starting a blaze in the
mountains should be the more vigorously observed
Members of the Trail and Mountain Club, Boy
scouts and Others who find pleasure in follow
ing the mountain trails should continually bear in
mind the ever present danger from fire, which
moments thOughteSsneSs may cause. See that
matches are out before throwing them away. En-
tinguish cigar or cigarette butts before tossing
them aside Thoroughly wet down the ashes Of
camp fire before leaving it.
In many places on the mainland it is most seri-
GUS offenSe to be responsible for the starting of
ore"t a prairie fire. and excuses in extenuation
never avail. Forest fires are never started acct
dcntally, howe, er little prcmeditation there may
be. Tires are started invariably through careless
ness

WAS A LEADER
" IN SAMURAI CLAN

The death Of Marquis Inouyc, which
occurred yesterday ut his home near
Toxic, removes one Of the few rcmain
ing props Of the old frudal system IN
Japan, one of the men who have for
years held Japan back from rushing
to extremes in che nov "ltY Of COnstitu
tOnalism. He was one of four suI l..
Viving leaders of the samurai elan
leaders who had played distinguished
part in the Restoration, when the tenn
pOral power was wrcstcd from the last
Shotgun and restored to the Mikado,
MutsuhitO, the one hundredth aud
twenty first Emperor For many wears,
prior to the Rest Grafton, the Mikado
was regarded as divinity, to be guard
ell so sacredly from the vulgar throng
that the great minority Of the Japa
nese did not even know there was on
in the land higher than the Shotgun.
Becom Principal Advisers
The great elan l"alrrs thus earned
the gratitude of the Mikado and I've.
came his principal advisers. As their
number dwindl"d their individual in
fluence grew, and they formed an oh
stacle against which the growing pow

Count Ito was assnssinatcd, three Ed.

Japan s present Premier was once in
the council of this "thrd'' house, hut
his too radical views eliminated him.
The three were Count Inouye, Prince
Yamagata and Marquis Matsuka;a
Prince Oyama was once urged to join
the conclave, but derlined OF the un-
official but tremendously influential
triumvirate, Iuouye was the constant

Aerial Torpedoes

~ HE fear Of overwhelming attacks from the
i air, which prevailed among che allied nations
at the outbreak of the war and until recently.
when the comparative ineffectiveness of the Yep
pelins seemed demonstrated, is likely to be revv-
ed and the terrifying power of these monster air
ships fully realized if the reports relating to the
new aerial torpedo perfected by the Germans
prove to be true, The September Popular Me
chanics Magazine in an illustrated article says:
"The accounts Of the operation of these tOrpe-
does read like the fantastic tales with which read
ers were RECALLED before the great war became
reality In many respects the torpedo resembles
a submarine torpedo and is said to possess all its
destructive power It is equipped with a delicate
wireless apparatus that controls its propellng and
steering mechanism, and through this every move
ment Of the torpedo is controlled by the powerful
wireless waves sent out from the Zeppelin AS it
speeds toward the target the torpedo can be
Steered up or down or horizontally at the will of
the OPERATOR In practise it is simply propelled ia
a point directly above the object to be destroyed
and is then turned vertically downward and drop
ped like ordinary bomb.
1.-THE new torpedo is said to be about seven feet
in length and to have a war head like that of
kubniarine torpedo In order to allow it to pene-
trate "a too or other obstruction before exploding,
the war head is equipped with time fuse that
impact Carried in the body of the torpedo is
from one hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds
of high explosive, enough to cause great havoc,
especially when exploded within an Enclosure such
as building. The torpedo is driven by two pro-
pellers at the and is sustained in the air by
two propellers working on vertical axes and placed
fore and aft under the body. BY means of an ar
rangemcnt OF fins and rudders it is kept from cap
sizing in the heaviest winds 1t is believed that
the propeers and other mechanism operated
by. compressed air.
"Whe this torpedo can doubtless be made enor-
mously more effective than bomb that is simply
dropped, it has serious limitation when launch
ed from an airship against Notifications war
ships. To be safe from the fire of antiarcraft guns
the arshp must either be at a considerable dis
lance from the target or al a great height above
the ground In either case it would be extremely
difficult to determine when the torpedo was any
where near point directly above the target. In
spite Of this, however, the Germans have"appa-
rently provided themselves with exceedingly
effective. weapon of offense in this torpedo"

Sugar Tax Utility

L VEN If congress had not to face extra appro-
Il priations for the army and feet, the condition
of the treasury would require that fresh sources Of
revenue be found, says the New Orleans Times
Pcayune. In such circumstances, nothing but a
blind worship of theory can preclude retention Of
the present tariff on sugar. For the sugar tariff
is, to all intents and purposes, coeval with the
government itself and all Democratic adminStra-
tons instinctively tapped this source of supply in
earlier years. England has for almost century
adhered to the principle of free trade. Yet Eng
land Ievies a tax of nearly half cent sugar
and the tax WILL no doubt be sweed in Mr. Nc
Kenna's next budget. The basis of this policy is
plain. A tax on sugar and similar articles is
easily collected and widely difused-so widely,
indeed, that the tax is hardly felt. The case is
totally different with direct taxes which bound
to be oppressive in many instances, while the rich
find countless loopholes.

Republics Battle FLAGS

EOR the first time in the nations history Uncle
Sam has consented to temporary relinqush
cOnrul Vi OF III, greatest treasures-the WASH
ington collection of historic flags of'th Republic.
Many attempts have been made to borrow the
Army and Navy flag collection for exhibition at
patriotic gatherings, but it remained for the vet
Grams in charge Of the Forty-ninth annual encamp-
ment and Fiftieth anniversary of the Grand Re
view of the Grand Army, which will be held in
Washington this month to be first to receive this
privilege.
AS famous flag collections go the American eN-
hiIit is not extraordinarily large but Uncle sam
demonstrates his love and pride by placing cash
valuation Of $4,000 on the collection. Several Of
the more famous of the battle flags, threadbare
and torn by the conflicts of l77o, 1872, 1901, are
estimated to be worth $1,000 each

What Grand Jury May Do
The federal grand jury will meet
at ten O'Clock this morning and the
matter may be brought before it for
investigation. There are several charges
under which Weisenberger may be held

lie may be charged with burglary, for
forcing open the room and box in which
the "evidence opium was stored, he
may be charged with simple stealing
and, again, he may have the charge
laid against him of smuggling opium
into the Oahu Prison or having 1t in
his possession and distributing the dope
to others. His chums may also be
roPed in on one or two separate charges
as accOmplices and having the dream
producer in their possession.
Weisenberger has been in Oahu PTis.
on the past six months. He was con
vlcted or violation of the postal laws
in the federal court and given sen,
tence of one year and six months.
The marshal must have kokuas in
his depa rtment. He usually has two,
who sweep and clean up the offices and
even are allowed to go on errands for
the officials. Weisenberger was one
of these kokuas. His conduct had been
so exemplary in Oahu prison that he
was elevated by the marshal to the rank
Of "trusty," allowed to leave the
prison in the morning, do the chores
about the building which houses the
federal judiciary, returning late in the
afternoon to his prison home.

fiction"
The high sheriff feels badly over the
whole affair. Had it been a territorial
prisoner who had done the opium SNUG

case alone and have the thing settled
with little trouble. But to imag ne
that a federal lodger should so mis-,
use hospitality and possibly bring a
model institution into disrepute, is
what annoys Mr.. Jarrett.
This is the first case of this nature
that has come under my observation, I"

Some One To Blame

= AMBLlNG is said to have been stopped in
~ Panama on account of recent charges Of
graft in the police department. They mean, says
the Los Angeles Times, that it's protection has
been stopped, They mean that for the minute
they have stopped telling themselves the old sick
lies that every city does tell itself about gambling.
This vice fourishes in all cities and it pays some
body in all cities for the privilege 1t is not true
either, that this is not known nor is it true that
it cannot be stopped. Somebody knows, and some
body is paid, everywhere The proposition has
this delicate angle, however, for whereas we can
always pro e its existence, it is almost impossible
to locate the source OF its tolerance You can't
prove who pays or who gets the money, but your
common sense tells you that their existence is not
merely taken for granted.

Those in England and France who are bitterly
complaining about the failure of the ministries to
provide adequate munitions for the armies in the
field are probably the same ones who two years
ago, were fighting strenuously the efforts Of the
British and French pubcists who were striving
to put those countries into proper state of pre-
paredness. Lord Roberts got chilly reception
when he was advocating the strengthening of the
British army, and the French three-year service
law was greeted with furious opposition. Let us
hope that those peace at -any-price folks of this
country who are decrying the efforts to secure an
adequate Army and Navy will not have their OPP
portunity. too, to howl against Washington be-
cause this country may be found not ready t.
defend itself.
