Chairman of Commission De-
clares Ships lmperiIied and

Convinced that the Kuhio bay wharf
at Hilo is threatened with destruction
unless the government breakwater is
extended further at very early date
Chairman Charles r. Forbes request
ed and received authorization from the
hnrbor commission today TO take UP
the breakwater question again with
the federal government through Lieut.,
col. C. 8. Bromwell, head of the United
States engineering department mere.
There is danger at the Kuhio pier

for shipping" declared Forbes today,

ed to move away from the pier. This
is the second All. boat that has had
to leave the wharf during a storm, and
am told that storms of much greater
intensity visit that coast.
Our. pier has not been constructed
to withstand the strains of even these
storms. We are preparing to expend
$4,000 now on repairs, and / fear If
they get one of their biggest storms
the wharf will be almost totally
wrecked.
II. am convinced the breakwater Is
good as far as 1t goes. but it has not
been extended far enough beyond the
pier yet. The water driven over the
wall in the recent storms was not what
caused the trouble for the Virginian
and Dakotan. Toe breakwater super
structure which stands above the sea
level, runs only a few hundred feet
beyond the pier. and when the great
waves begin rolling they surge around
the end Of the superstructure and start
powerful eddies which strike the ship
at the pier, causing her to drag at
her lines on all sides. Every foot OF
superstructure added to the end of the
seawall would. | believe, tend to divert
these whirlpools from the wharf"
The breakwa,er as p:&nned by the
federal government would extend 2600
feet beyond its present terminus. No
actual work has been done on it for
about two years, the delay being due
to the fact that the original con.
tractors, the Philadelphia Breakwater
Company, went into bankruptcy and
the responsibility for completing the
job fell on that concerns bondsmen,
the American Surety Company. This
firm has moved cautiously and slowly
in the matter, endeavoring to find e
way of having the work finished at az
nearly as possible the figure on which

SUGAR CLAUSE
New York Businessman Writes
Here That President is
Holding Conferences
DEFICIT IN TREASURY
FORCES RECONSIDERATION
May Postpone Tariff Change
Until 1921 or 1919 as
Compromise

Significant conferences are in prog
ress between President Wilson and
Democratic leaders In Congress look
ing to q postponement of free sugar
either for five or for three years from
1916, according to information that
comes to Hawaii on unusually good
authority.
Robert W. Shingle, president Of the
Henry Waterhouse Trust Company,
has received a personal letter from z.
C.. Riebe, head of the Import Chemi.
cal Company Of New York, a great
concern which is vitality interested in
the tariff and closely follows its
course. Riebe further is an investor
in Hawaiian stocks, among them sugar
and pineapple securities. He Is there
fore interested in the sugar tariff.
Writing to Shingle on January 29 he
said:
81 hear on good authority that the
president is seriously considering a
postponement of the free sugar clause
for five years from March. 1916. also
understand that there are now confer
ences going on between several Dem,
ocratic senators and the president. 1t
is possible that compromise may be
reached postponing the time when the
free sugar clause Is to take effect for
three years from March, 1915,
'The chief answer to this seems to
be the diminishing revenues Of the
United States government, so that the
administration can III afford to permit
the loss of another $50, 0,000, 900 next
year. The estimated treasury dehcit
is already $50 600 600 and may be ex
peeted to grow before the end Of the
year.
Il obtained my information from q
very reliable source, and while, Of
course, the conferences now going on
may lead to nothing tangible. 1t Is a
fact that they are going on.
Several businessmen Of. Honolulu
have heard Indirectly that free su.i
gar may be postponed until 1919 but
none has any information more def.
mite than that quoted above.
Mr.. Riebe was here in 1913 and has
large investments locally.
