Dor Commission That Grass
Plots viii Be Attractive

In answer 10 q request made by
Capt. William r. Foster on behalf OF
the board of harbor commissioners,
that set of wrecking anchors, chains,
and cables be removed from Pier IA,
Joseph E. Sheedy explained to the
commissioners at the meeting this
afternoon why il was desired by the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Compa-
ny that the outfit be allowed TO re.
main.
"The anchor, chains and cable have
been kept as an emergency outfit.
said Mr.. Sheedy, Ito provide against
danger in case of the wrecking OF
going ashore of vessels. Two years
ago we took the matter up with the
harbor officials and were allowed to
pace the tackle there. We do intend
to move it. however" continued Mr..
Sheedy, just as socn as We get our
wharf built on the other side of the
harbor."
Following this explanation, C. J.
Mccarthy moved that the tackle be
allowed to stay on the wharf until 1t
could be moved by the company to
the new quarters. The motion car.
ried.
Plans were also discussed with Mr..
Skeedy for the beautifying of the
grounds about Pier H. Mr. Sheedy
said that he thought such work would
be a good thing, and expressed himself
heartily in favor of it. 1t was decided
BY the commissioners to have the
grounds plotted and set out with
grass.
Reading of postponed minutes of

siderable portion of the early part of
the session this afternoon. Much gem

FIGHTING ship
NAMED AVENGER
British Admiralty Has Taken
Over Vessel Built for Pacific
BY CA. Line

The Avenger, planned for the Cana.
Gian-Australasian line, has been
launched at Glasgow, Scotland, not as
a passenger liner, but as an auxiliary
cruiser, according to information
brought to Honolulu today by officers
of the CA liner Niagara.
The Ayenger is the fighting name of
the ship, and when the war is over
and the guns are taken off the Ayeng-
er II is probable that her name will
be changed to conform with those of
the other two Canadian Australasian
steamers, the Makura and the Niaga-
ra, and she will be put on the Vancou-
ver-Sydney run, via Honolulu. Orig.
ina1ly she was to have been called the

The Avenger is built along the same
lines as the crack flagship of the CA.
fleet, the Niagara, and is 1000 tons
larger than the latter steamer. She
was originally planned for the Pacific
passenger trade, but the outbreak Of
the war caused slight changing OF
her plans so that she can be utilized
as war vessel. It had been previous

by kind-hearted auto truck drivers. so
the "hikep did not prove too weari-

OLLIE JAMES IS
CERTAIN SUGAR
DUTY NOT NEEDED
Hawaii Can Prosper More Than
Mainland With it on Free
List, Says Senator

That Hawaii is the only place he
ever visited where the people can
actually live without working is what
Ollie James. senator from Kentucky
who visited Honolulu with the last
Congressional party, told the Wash.
ington Post upon his arrival in the
national capital.
everywhere in Hawaii good things
TO eat grow with little or no eultiva-
tion," the senator is quoted as saying.
All the people have to do is TO pull
the vegetables and fruit and eat"
Hawaii is exceedingly prosperous,
and am more than ever convinced
from what saw that tariff on sugar
is not needed" the senator continued.
The Hawaiians are getting $95 ton
for sugar, and in many instances the
yield is as much as nine tons to the
acre. Under such conditions the Ha,
waiian farmers, even with free sugar,
prosper many times more abundantly
than our farmers in Kentucky and
other states, and see no reason why
the millions of sugar consumers in
this country should be forced to pay a
tax that is not in the least needed.
Il shall vote to fortify Honolulu in
the strongest possible manner. said
the senator, and feel sure that all
the members Of the congressional
party take the same view"

Think LONGLEY
HAS PERFECTED
SHIPPING DEAL

If A. T. Longley, superintendent OF
the Territorial Marketing Division, adj
hered to schedule which he outlined
before leaving Honolulu recently. he
has perfected arrangements with
steamship companies operating YES
sells between here and the mainland
to insure the safe opening Of an east
ern market for pineapples grown by
the small farmers on Oahu.
1t was reported at the, office of the
division today that Mr. Longley will
return to Honolulu in the steamer Mat
sonia August IL. The announcement
that Mr.. Longley went to Chicago
shortly after arriving in San Fran
cisco also was made.
Prior to leaving Honolulu, Mr.. Long
ley told the Bulletin that after
opening a branch of the local market
in San Francisco he would confer with
the various steamship companies with
the idea of having them equip their
vessels with more ventilators so that
a larger number of crates of fresh
pineapples could be shipped out of Ho-
nolulu in each steamer.
II he completed these arrangements,
he said, he would go to Chicago and
open market for the pineapples
grown by the small farmers on this
island not contracted for at the can.
neries.
The information that Mr.. Longley
has been to Chicago tends to the be-
lief that the transportation arrange
ments have been made and that the
market has been created.
While in Chicago, Mr.. Lcngley in
tended to confer with large packing
concern that recently informed the To-
cal division that. II the fruit could be
grown, it would purchase from local
small farmers in 1916 from $4,000 to
100000 worth of roselle. The roselle,
which is native of Mexico, may be
made into an excellent jam or Jelly. 1t
is being cultivated to some extent on
Maui.

CLAIM POLITE
IS NOT Eager TO
HOLD down JOBS

Immediately after being released
from the city Jail after serving a
months sentence on a charge of in
toxication, John POLITE. a native of
Gorilla, who claims to be an Aus
trian, today made charges that the
Austrian consulate here had refused
to help him and had .railroadedr him
to iail.
Asked concerning their side of the
case, II. P. F. Schultze, Austrian con-
sui, and Secretary H. A. Schroeder Of
the Austrian consulate both declared
PoIitz to be an "imposter" and a
dead heat"
"Pollitz is a bad egg,' Mr. Schgtze
said today. We helped him. and
gave him a ticket to Kauai so he
could get the job he was looking for
He just buns around town and works
anyone who will believe him-'works'
them for money"
Secretary Schroeder was no less EN-
phatic. The man is not responsible,
and should be declared a public
charge he stated I'VE helped him,
and gave him money. Every time he
spent it for booze He wouldn't work
If he had dozen jobs offered him.
The man is .beggar. and ought to be
arrested again"
The police said POLITE has been in
Honolulu three or four years, and has
a long record of intoxication and pet
ty offenses. ILL. ...-: ! +,
Pollitz, in turn, declares that though
he is an Austrian subject the Austrian
consul refused to help him get work,
and ordered him out on the grounds
that he was an Italian. ..':..

The Japanese assumed military con-
troll of the islands on October IL, 1914,
and have remained in possession ever
since. should say there are 250
Japanese soldiers and officers in the
islands, all told, ct present. The mill
tary officials have ordered all Ger
mans to leave the islands now, and
have issued warning that if they do
not do SO they cannot leave until the
close Of the war
Asked Il the general opinion in the
Marshall islands is that Japan intends
to keeps eH1spermanently and fortify
them, with the intention of construct
ing naval base there, Mr.. Petersen
said he did not believe it. People
living In Ponape think the Japanese in
tend returning the islands to the vic
tor in the present European war;" he
said. "Of course that will be the Ger
man people, he added.
Mr.. Petersen said the only suitable
place for naval base would be at
Truk, as the other towns are so locat-
ed that they have no natural harbors,
and could not be easily fortified
A fact strengthening the naval base
rufnors is that up to the time of Jap
anese occupation the local wireless
station was in communication with
stations on, the islands in question.
Since the Japanese occupation, how.
ever, no answers or commercial mes
sages have been received and no com.
munication established between Ho.
nolulu and the Caroline and Marshall
groups, proving that the Japanese
commandant does not allow the sta
tions to be used for anything except
military and naval purposes.
Rev. F. ]. Woodward, a Methodist
missionary stationed in the Gilbert is.
lands, 400 miles from the Marshall
and Caroline groups, said so far as he
could learn the people of the islands
believe the Japanese occupation is
only temporary one. Il was told in
Japan" he said, that the Japanese
government does not intend to keep
the islands. but is merely retaining
them until the war ends and the spoils
of victory are divided. | believe they
will be distributed among the Allies. "

turning to the states on the Mongolia.
