Cost Of the Navy.

Admiral MCGOWAN figures the pres
ent property investment of the navy
! is $3.50, 0,620,376, OF which $459 $50, $50
is represented in ships $206, ,635, 10i in
stations and equipment and $1Si29S,- :
| 72O in stores. The total expenditures
of the navy from 1894 to 1915, inclus-
i've, is placed at $3,214,329,6 GIL.
The navy being ahoat and the
shore establishment being of use
only in so far as it contributes to
fleet efficiency" says the admiral,
the ideal way in which to conduct
the activities of any strictly service
bureau would seem to be to follow
as closely as possible the administra-
tive methods of the fleet"
The report then deals at length
with changes of method inaugurated
during the year to accomplish this
end, and the speeding up of the bu-
reau machinery which has resulted
in more prompt handling of bids for
supplies, etc.
Effected Big Savings.
The report notes that use Of navy
golfers to carry coal to the Philip
pines because of the shortage of mer-
chant charters available, effected a
saving Of $4,000 for the first two
shiploads dispatched in 1914 and
1915. A similar saving was effected
on the coal transferred in cofliers to
Pacific coast stations, the rate per
ton on shipment on the Mars being
$4O5, as against 1925, the lowest
private bid.
The average daily cost of subsist-
erce per man for the navy in 1913
was Sec, as against 36.Gc in 1914
The report quotes reports from num-
erous medical officers OF the fleet to
show that food was good, both in
quantity and quality, and that there
was no complaint from the men on
either score.

STATE HIGHWAY
COMMISSION IS
NEEDED BY STATE
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, June 18.-A bill for the
estab lishment of a public highways
commission in Georgia will be intro
duced at an early date in the legisla-
ture by Representative Walter P.
Andrews, of Fulton county.
Col. Andrews will advocate the
construction of a number Of state
highways, the utilization of the road
fund from automobiles license tax by
the state instead of by the counties,
the qualifying of Georgia to accept
such road appropriations as may be
made by the federal government, and
making other sweeping changes for
the improvement of the roads of the
state
Col. Andrews measure will have the
endorsement of the state prison com
mission which now has general
charge of the road building work in
the state. The bill contemplates first
placing the general road fund derived
from the auto tax in the hands of
the prison commission for use in the
construction of a system of state
highways. The duty of the commission
would be solely to pass on and decide
where the state highways should be
built,

RAILROAD
MEN ASLEEP ON JOB

Rarely if ever can one find such
wide awake men as two certain
railroad conductors that make their
homes in Americas, asleep on the
job. But Neon Buchanan claims the
honor of finding these two fast asleep,
dead to the world, during working
hours.
To substantiate his story he offers
the following facts:
Wednesday afternoon two conduc
tors On certain railroad that runs
through Americas were talking on
the sidewalk in front of our store.
The sun was hot and the men were
hotter. Finally they drifted into the
building, strolled to the back, sat
down on bale of hay and continued
their discussion.
The clerks continued waiting Oh
customers and forgot these two men,
closing up time came and we locked
the front doors and went home.
Supper time came and I had just
settled down to read our Times
Recorder when the telephone rang.
The two wide awake" conductors
were locked in the store and wanted
to get out. They had fallen asleep
discussing the war and had been lock-
ed in when the closing hour came. In
a rather nervous voice the larger of
the two informed me that policeman
woke them up rafting the door and
that thy did not like the idea of being
hauled before the mayor on burglary

HOBO Will TOUR

King" Davis Going to Attempt
to Form Organization With
5000, 600 Members

Jeff Davis, self-styled "the king OF
the hoboes," will visit Honolulu later
in the year In a palatial private yacht,
making this city one of his ports OF
call on a trip around the world taken
with the avowed intention of organiz-
ing an international union of hoboes,
for which he hopes to recruit a mem
bership of 100000.
The trip will be made on the yacht
Marjorie, belonging to George N. Car.
ter, Jr., New York millionaire, who
has made himself patron of the
hoboes.
According to a statement given out
at New York by Davis, the only de-
tail now lacking is proper passports
from the United States government, in
order to make the trip, and he is going
to call on President Wilson for the
necessary papers at once. Davis stated
emphatically that this was not to be
a pleasure trip, but will be world
study of the hobo question for the
purpose Of establishing branches OF
the international organization in ev-
cry country under the sun.
The yacht, after leaving New York,
will stop at various places in Florida
and along the gulf coast before en-
tering the canal San Diego and San
Francisco are also along the route of
the cruise. The South Sea islands,

Sir: The Marine Engineers Bench
cial Association No. 100 of Honolulu,
T. H., at its regular meeting held on
the 9th inst, unanimously indorsed
the stand taken and the sentiments
expressed by the Star-B Bulletin. in ref
erence to the proposed suspension of
the Coastwise shipping laws; especial
ly the editorial headed, Constructive,
Concerted Effort Demanded Such
action we firmly believe IS the rbnly
logical move In the right direction.
AS an organized body of United

build up-not tear down, and will al
ways endeavor to obstruct any at
tempt to suspend our shipping laws
for the benefit of foreign shipping.
Our respect for the flag we sail under
demands this. We sincerely hope that
the agitation just started will not be-
come hysterical, as did the former at
tempt in 1909, which eliminated in
failure.

TOMMY MARLOWE
WOULD REOPEN
KENTUCKY BAR

To consider, among other things. a
petition from Tommy" Marlowe, filed
by his attorney. E. G. Peters, for re-
hearing of his application for license
to conduct the Kentucky saloon, the
board of liquor license commissioners
will meet in the city and county as
sembly hall at 3:45 O'Clock next FRI
day afternoon.
At the recent annual meeting Of the
liquor board, license was denied
Maflowe and the Kentucky saloon was
ordered closed. The grounds for this
action were that Marlowe admitted
that he told falsehood while testify
ing before the board q year ago.
At that time he testified that the
$4,000 with which he purchased the
Kentucky saloon was received from
relatives on the coast At the last an
nual meeting he told the board that he
secured the money from the Honolulu
Brewing & Mating Company through
Charles @. Bartlett, who at that time
was president and manager
The petition for rehearing OF Mar
loves application contends that ne
should be granted license on the al
legation that Marlowe Is not guilty Of
any offense under the law and that
nothing is shown in the report Of the
last annual meeting which constitutes
prejury on the part Of MarIowe
