A CARNIVAL POLICY THAT SHOULD
WORK.

Mid Pacific Carnival directors have made
what looks like wise decision in placing the
mass of detailed work of arranging thes big
February Carnival in the hands of secretary
who is a paid executive.
Every director general who has handled the
Carnival in recent years has come to the con-
clusion that it has grown into business of
large proportions, and as such cannot be looked
after by men whose time is primarily taken up
with their own private affairs They have
pointed out this after the last four or five Car
nivals and it has been emphasized in the press.
If we mistake not, Director General Dough.
erty last year urged strongly that the main
burden be handled by paid executive and that
the director general be made more of an hon
orary than an active position. Now the heads
of the 1915 Carnival corporation will divide
the general responsibilities among committees,
will decide all matters of policy either through
the directorate or the committees and will
place very much of the detail upon the should
ers of the paid executive secretary.
This plan is justified both by the emergency
arising from Director General Cooper's sudden
resignation and by the experience of Carnival
arrangements in the past.

SUPPLYING BOOZE TO PRISONERS.

In many states the smuggling of liquor to
inmates Of jails, penitentiaries or asylums is a
felony. It is recognized that supplying liquor
to men Or women in such institutions is likely
to breed murderous mutiny and in any event
is utterly SCATTERING to discipline.
No such law exists on the statute-books OF
the territory, say those who have recently
looked up the subject as a result of the allega-
lions cbncerning the administration at the
county Jail In Hawaii it is matter Of prison
regulation. If the stories are true as told by
several witnesses who have been called before
the grand jury at the county Jail, under the
present administration it is not even matter
Of regulation. If there is any rule, it is laughed
at or winked at.
One Of the men whose stories figure in the
startling disclosures published by the Star
Bulletin said that he did not see guards and
prisoners drinking together, but that he say
prisonefs drinking from a supply somehow
sent them and also guards drinking among
themselfes. The prisoners IN this case were
the privileged gentlemen of the McGratli-
Bowers; Boggs gang, who were given the free
dom of the Jail hospital and made of it very
comfortable clubhouse
If The allegations of liquor smuggling to
this gang are found by the territorial grand
jury to have foundation, one constructive move
would be recommendation by the jury to be
brought before the next Legislature, making it
felonious offense for any person to send
liquor INTO any Jail, municipal, county or ter
ritofial, in Hawaii.

EUROPE TAKING
EXCESS SUPPLY
Of CUBAN SUGAR
Product and Stock l40.0 600
Tons Larger Than Last Year
Not Pressing Market Now

That European buying and the
shortage of refiners more than offset
unfayorable features of the sugar sit
uation, is the view taken by the Gar.
nikow-Rionda Company Of 112 Wall
street, New York. in their following
market letter, dated October Is:
THE firmness which developed here
last week and eliminated on Satur-
day, 9Th inst. in the sale to a refiner
of 10000 bags Cubas, for October
shipment, at 3.125c CT. (4.14c), has
continued during the period under RE-
view, although after the holiday on
the 18th inst. holders displayed more
disposition to meet refinerss views of
Sc CT for Cubas and its equivalent of
40Ic elf. for Porto RicOs. A moder-
ate business was subsequently done
at the latter level, and the total re-
ported sales of the week aggregate
merely $500 tons Of Cubas and
$500 tons Porto Ricos. Today sugars
having outport options of delivery
could doubtless be sold at 3.125c CT
(4.14c), but only moderate quantity
of Cubas is now available even at the
higher price Of 325c CT t4.26c).
ITO the natural causes of the recent
advance, mentioned In our previous is
sue, now has to be added the reap
pearahce Of Europe as q buyer of pre-
sent crop Cubas, fairly large line
having been sold this week for 0ver-
seas destinations at 2.90c fob. Cuba,

United States. These transactions,
calling for comparatively prompt ship
ment, had the effect of practically
eliminating whatever pressure there
was from Cuba to sell sugars to sup-
ply United States requirements. The
result naturally has been highly fav.
orable one for holders In Cuba. who,
at this time Of year, usually find con-
troll of the situation practically in
their own hands.
"On the other hand there are also
important factors Of opposite effect
which must not be overlooked. among
which are the probable United States
demand for refined during balance of
the year, and what the attitude of the.
domestic beet producers will be with
regard to disposal of their present
crop. A very limited demand, togeth-
.er with undue anxiety to sell the do
mestic. beet product and a stock In
Cuba about 100000 tons in excess of
last years figures at this date, might
exercise an adverse influence upon
the market. However. in view Of the
very small stocks now in refiners'
hands here, the unfayorable factors
referred to could not exert much in.

future

In the exchange of open letters on the with
drawallof the Pacific Mail line from business
the Pacific Mail president, Julius Kruttschnitt,
has considerably the better of Secretary of
Commerce Redfeld Mr.. McAdoo defends the
administration from the charge that the sea-
mems bil passed by Congress has forced the
Pacific Mail from the ocean. He intimates
very strongly that the Pacific Mail corporation
saw khance to sell its steamers at high
figure dn account of the war S effect on char
iers ana steamship values. He also insists in
his open letter that the Pacific Mail went out
Of business with practically no advance notice
and declares that il should have tried to oper-
ate under the seamen's law.
President Kruttschnitt's letter riddles the
secretafy's arguments into nothing. He shows
that during the eleven years. when Andrew
Furuseth, La Toilette and others were trying
to force the bill through, the Pacific Mail re-
peatedlE told exactly what would happen, and
repeatedly pointed out to congressional com
mittees' at numerous hearings that the, Pacific
Mail could not continue operation under the
proposed law. The reasons were given in
minute detail.
He shows also that long before the war was
dreamed of, long before high prices were offer
ed for steamships, the Pacific Mail had declared
its inability to operate under this law. He fur
Their says with perfect aptness that the same
reasons which increased the value of ships
would have made the Pacific Mail unwilling to
part with its vessels and abandon business
which. it had been engaged in for years if the
intolerable restrictions of the LaFollette bill
had not deprived it of any choice in the
matter"
And he puts the gist of Secretary Redfeld s
letter in its proper light by saying: ''TheI
claim of surprise at the effects of the seamen s
bill is absurd. y
