SUPERVISORS APPEAR OFAlOR
ALLOWING SUNDAY MOVIES HERE

Let the people themselves decide
whether or not they will support bibli.
ealeor educational moving pictures on
Sunday by their attendance. We will
pass the ordinance necessary and
then 1t sis. up TO the moving picture

police committee to which body was

Sunday. -... g.. ...:..:. -. ~
The supervisors seem to be gener.
ally in favor of allowing the company
to show the picture, but as the act of
legislature makes Sunday movies legal
only by ordinance. the permission was
of necessity withheld. ...> -.
The act empowering the supervisors
to have such an ordinance drafted was
signed by Governor Pinkham near the
end Of the past session, aud reads as
follows:
The boards of supervisors of the
several counties and the city and
county of Honolulu are hereby au-
thorized and empowered to provide by
ordinance for the exhibition of moving
pictures of an educational or biblical
character on Sundays after the hour
of 6: 30 p. M, under such restrictions
as they may prescribe" .. r..

only two months has he spent on duty at Wash

As noted when he took his new post, Admiral
Benson IS selection by Secretary Daniels was a
surprise throughout the navy department
Admiral Fletcher had generally been expected
to take the new job, but Fletcher preferred to
remain in command of the Atlantic feet-where
he is making fine record.
Admiral Benson is believed to be in harmony
with Secretary Daniels, which Admiral Fiske.
who retired as aid to operations on the day that
Benson became chief, certainly was not. Navy
men take. the view that officers not in harmony
with the secretary are not likely to be promoted.
Admiral Benson has nothing sensational to
his record, say well Informed navy men. On
the other hand, "Old Ben" is generally liked
and his colleagues are confident that he will do
nothing anarchistic in the service (which, after
the grapejuice order, is considerably of a COM

OPPOSING coUNsELs.

Two former presidents of the United States
have raised their voices since the Lusitana
sinking brought this country to the greatest
crisis in a half -century-Col. Roosevelt and Mr.
Taft.
Roosevelt's counsel is one essentially of i'm
mediate action. The dispatches do not show
thathe has clearly outlined any thorough going
plan but at any rate he would have the admin
istration make moves which would immediately
sever relations with Germany. That could
mean little else but war. He criticises the adj
ministration violently He would have the ma
ton exert such pressure on President Wilson
and the cabinet that they wonld be forced into
retaliatory action against Germany.
Mr.. Taft probably does not regard the sink
ing of the Lusitania with any less sincere re-
sentiment than does Mr. Roosevelt but his at
titude IS essentially different. He did not, on
the morning after the news shocked the world,
declaini against the administration; on the con-
trary, he urged that the administration be sup
ported That earnest appeal he repeated last
night. 4.sso
Mr.. Taft 8 reference to the struggle of Lin
coin and Mckinley to preserve the country
from war brings to mind the bitter abuse these
presidents endured during the months before
they decided that war was not only inevitable
but thee6hntry was bound to uphold a bellger-
ent course Both were the targets of the most
singing lampoons and the most grotesquely
denunciatory cartoonsin fact, it has often
been intimated that the abuse of one news
paper syndicate led to the assassination of Nc
Kinley The president can expect abuse of
this sort now-but let us hope that none of it
comes from Hawaii.

OPERATIONS ON

The divers resumed work on the
sunken submarine this morning, the
barge being towed out at an early hour
in preparation for careful under
water examination of the work accom-
piished by the, tugs yesterday. Frank
Crilly is the man chosen to make the
dive today, and his report will be OF
great Importance, as it will show
whether lifting operations can be re-
sumed, or whether there will have to
be more shifting of lines.
Yesterday the tug Navajo dragged
one of the heavy chain and wire lines

LEADER
WOULD Direct
HAWAIIAN BAND

So charmed is Senior Chevalier LUZ
81 Di Roccia, conductor of the Bevani
Grand Opera Company's orchestra,
with Hawaii that he has offered his
services to the city as director OF the
Hawaiian band, according to Super
visor Horner.
at is the best we possibly could do
in the selection Of successor to Capt
Berger" declared the supervisor. He
knows music and he knows instru-
ments; he knows how to- balance
band, SO much brass and so many
softer instruments, and he is a nat
ural and experienced leader. The only
difficulty is whether or not We can
employ him without violating the
charter. The charter provides that
all city employees must have been
residents of the city for one year pre-
ceding their appointments, unless 1t
be of highly technical service. The
question, therefore, is whether or not
directing Of the band can be classed
as highly technical service"
Mr.. Horner said he understood Sem
or Roccia would accept an offer from
the city carrying salary OF $500 a
month. At present Peter Kalani. as
sistant leader of the band, is tempo
rarily filling the vacancy created by
Captain Berger's retirement.
There are two things sadly wrong
with the band now" Mr.. Horner as.
serted Zone thing is there is too
much brass and too few clarinets,
flutes and the like The other lies in
the selection of music. A new piece
at band concert is a rarity and i
suppose that is one of the reasons
why the attendance at the concerts is
so small" BE- , go

TO SURVEY STATE ROAD
Work to be Begun on Link Between
POcatellO and Twin Falls.

The state highway commission will
soon begin the survey of the Idaho
Pacific state highway across Power
county, to complete the link connect
ing Pocatello and Twin Falls, was the
report given out in American Falls
last week. The reason for action at
this time it is said, is the desire of
the government to complete the al
.lotment of lands on the Fort Hall IN
dian reservation and desire that the
survey be made in advance of the al
lotment to prevent possible friction.
The road will connect at Pocatello
with the north and south road from
the state line to the Yellowstone Ma
tional park, a considerable portion of
which is completed. and is part Of
the east and west trunk line from
Pocatello to the Oregon state line,
parts Of which are also completed. 1t
will traverse the most thickly settled
sections of Power county, extending
from the county line beyond Michaud
to American Falls, thence to and along
Snake river through Cassia county to
a connection with the road in Twin
Falls county.-Rupert Pioneer-Record.
