Hilo bfeakwater. That much is GER

July the operations will be in :. full

Contractor Marshall has arranged
to make use of quite a lot of the Wal

smaller rocks can pass the inspector.
The larger rocks will all come from
Waipio and will be conveyed in the
scows which the contractor is having
constructed.
Contractor Marshall expects to have
everything going at top speed In July
and he anticipates no further delay
of any kind. The powerful tug Print

pany. The r. X. K. ships are rather

the n. Y K. declined the offer for

Nothing has yet been ascertained of

Representative Clyde II. Tavenner. OF
Illinois, announced yesterday he would
ask Congress to investigate ''traffiCkers'
in war supplies who belong to the Navy
League Col. Robert n. Thompson, the
leagues president, yesterday accepted
Tayenner's challenge and demanded that
he make specific charges.
j. p. Morgan and others of the league.
Tavenner declared, will be required, il
he can bring it about TO testify under
oath before a Congressional investiga ting
committee TO show their interest in
manUfa curing war materials.
AS the Navy League is unfriendly 10
government manufacture of war para
phernalia," said Tavenner, Il shall in
troduce a resolution to investigate the
league, specifically requiring ]. p. Nor
gan and certain other directors. past and
present, to testify under oath whether
they own stock in war-trafficking con-
Germs which have drawn down fat con-
tracts from previous army or navy ap-
propriations.'
THE officers and directors of the Navy
League" said Col. Thompson, ARE grow
ing exceedingly tired of hearing the
charge that their organization is subsi-
died by an alleged munition ring. We
are very anxious TO get some responsible
person to make this charge in definite
form so that We may take the case into
court and disprove it once and for all.
The charge is an exceedingly silly one
I believe the league should nail the lie
once and for all by a court decision az
soon as possible"

RESERVE BOARD TALKS
DISTRICT REDUCTION
Federal Body Not Satisfied with Greg
ory's Opinion on Its Prerogatives.
REQUESTS Another.

The Federal Reserve Board in two
long meetings yesterday considered
the questions whether it has the pow
er under the reserve act to reduce
the number of Federal reserve dis
tricts.
While no conclusion was reached.
the disclosure that the board had
taken up this question created some
thing of a sensation in official CIR
cles. for il was viewed as tangible
evidence that some members at lea st
are of the opinion that one or more
of the existing districts ought to he
abolished. The disclosure is believed
in some quarters to forecast 4 more
or less bitter struggle within the
board for the assertion by il of the
right TO overrule the findings OF tire
organization committee. consisting Of
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
Comptroller of the Currency John
SHELTON Williams, and Secretary Of
Agriculture Houston.
The board had before ii an opinion
from Attorney General Gregory.
