CHILD DIES OF DIPHTHERIA
Little Daughter OF Nj. And Mrs. Jasper Whittsn
Is Victim-Case OF Disease Now In Town.

The little four-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jasper Whitten,
who reside three miles southwest Of
town, died Saturday morning, fol-
lowing an illness of several days Of
diphtheria. The burial occurred at
this place Sunday morning, in the
presence of a good number of
friends of the family. Much SYM
pathy is expressed for the stricken
parents and other relatives.
Monday morning little Miss Ruth
Stocks, whose parents reside at Lit
tie Rock and who has been here
for some time visiting her grand
parents, Atty. and Mrs. T. |. Herrn,
was pronounced as a sufferer from
diphtheria by the attending physic-
ian. This patient is said to be re-
covering nicely, and no further
spread of the disease has been re-
ported in the town or surrounding
community.
There seems to be little alarm over
the presence of this one case of
diphtheria in the town. Still. par
ents are taking care that their
children avoid crowds and possible
exposure to the disease. The pri-
mary department Of the school is
closed until all danger of a spread
of the disease is over.

TOCITIzEN LABOR
No Alien Employees on Govern.
ment Works, Is Request of
House Resolution

A resolution Petitioning Congress to
discontinue the employment of non
citizen labor on government works
in Hawaii and to grant all future con-
tracts in the islands to citizens with
a clause contained providing for eiti-
zen labor only, has been introduced
in the house by Representative Nor
man K. Lyman Of the Big Island. -.
The resolution is q concurrent one
and 1t is the first official attempt to
secure. for Hawaii's citizens the ex-
elusive right to work on government
structures. The memorial follows:
whereas, the government Of the
United States has up to this date
awarded many contracts for the con-
struction of important public i'm
proVements to persons not citizens
nor eligible to become citizens of the
United States: and
Whereas, there have been and are
a large number of persons employed
upon the said contracts who are not
citizens nor eligible to become such to
the detriment of those who are citi-
zens Of the United States or eligible
to become such; and
Whereas, the awarding Of contracts
by the government of the United
States in the future to aliens and
those not eligible to become citizens.
and the employment OF such on said
contracts will be equally to the detri-
ment of those who are citizens Of the
United States;
Nov therefore be it resolved by the
house of representatives of the terri
tory of Hawaii, 1915 session, the SEN
ate concurring, that the attention of
the Congress of the United States
be respectfully called to this condi.
tion Of affairs and that Congress be
respectfully requested to take such
steps in the premises as may be ne
cessary to the end that only citizens
Of the United States or those eligible
to become such shall hereafter be
allowed to contract for, or be EN-.
ployed on, all public improvements or
works constructed by the United
States in the Territory of Hawaii,
and
BE it further resolved that a copy
Of this resolution be forwarded to the
president of the United States, the
secretary Of the interior. president Of
the senate, speaker of the house of
representatives and to the delegate to
Congress from Hawaii"

Entire Question of Resources
and Steps For City to Take
Is Brought Up
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC
OUTLINES POSITION
In Statement Filed With Super
Msors Answers Charges of
\ "IlIega1 Contract"

An expert and thorough investiga
ton Of the entire question OF Homo
lulu's water supply is now the prob
able outcome Cf the movement by
Nuuanu valley residents to secure the
cancellation of the contract by which
the Hawaiian Electric Company has
been getting water through its own
pipeline from Suuanu for power
plant purposes.
For nearly two hours last night the
board OF supervisors heard the water
question talked over by delegation
OF Nuuanu folk who crowded the su'
perYisoEial hall. Though it was ex
pected that the hearing would be de-
voted particularly TO the Hawaiian
Electric contract, II developed into q
discussion Of municipal water supply
in general.
The petition from 60 Nuuapu resi-
dents and taxpayers asking the can
collation. OF the contract was present
ed, together with detailed state.
ment from the Hawaiian Electric
Company. L. r. Bishop, George r.
Carter, A. l. Castle, John l. Fleming
and others spoke during the hearing,
drawing attention to the vital need
OF Nuuanu for water. The acquisi'
tion of the Pauoa water rights for
100000 was one feature brought up
during the evening. Another phase
of this is that Senator Castle yester-
day afternoon introduced measure
calling for. such acquisition.
Al times the debate was lively. and
50 was intinRted once or twice that
the supervisors ought to be able to
solve the problem, an intimation
which aroused some resentment
among the city fathers. they contend
ing that the problem Is 50 big II needs
q wide investigation. =
The Star-Bulletin Is informed that
Nuuanu valley residents will ask the
Chamber Of Commerce, to lead a
movement for such an expert inVes-
tigation Of water resources and steps
that should be taken to guard against
any future shortage.
The Hawaiian Electric Company's
statement. outlining its position. in.
Inmates strongly that. the company
feels Il is being made the scapegoat
for general inefficient handling of the
water supply of Honolulu.
The statement follows:

On a vote of 90 TO 6, the Holstein
compulsory military training hill pass
ed the house OF representatives today
and has been forwarded to the sen
ate. Slight amendments were added
to the measure before passage, one
providing exemption for young men
residing more thans four miles from
the nearest drill haal, where no suit
able transportation provided, and tc
sethersA~emploSfng rt1sttA To military 'fn
'structors. - '.
; The second amendment provides a
fine of not more than $50 for parents
or guardians Of the military students
where the cadets have persisted in alb
senting themselves from drills anC
where the parents or guardians have
not used the proper diligence to the
end that their wards or sons attend
the required periods OF instruction
Exemption from drills is allowed fol
illness if the students present a ply
sician's certificate.
The Holstein bill Is the first mea
sure to be adopted by any state OF
territory towards compulsory training
in time of peace for future wars. 1t is
being watched carefully throughout
the United States If the bill is en-
acted and works out successfully ev,
cry state in the Union may follow
with similar legislation.
Predictions are being made freely
that the measure will encounter nrac
tically no opposition in the senate and
that the governor will sign the bill il
passed by the senate is believed. The
measure as it now stands provides
that all able-bodied male citizens of
the territory on arriving at the age
CT Is years and who have not signi
fled their intentions Of Joining the
nat t.onal guard within so days after
their eighteenth birthday, must take
a course in military training Of As
lessons in a one-year period.
The course includes education in
the manipulation OF the United States
service rifle, care OF the army equip
ment, personal hygiene and ordinary
drill and marching order. The instruc.
tors will be provided from the non
commissioned and commissioned ranks
of the regular army and of the nation
al guard These instructors will re-
ceive not more than $25 month each.
To the personal appeal to the mem
bers of the house by Speaker Holstein
supporters of the measure credit the
passage of the bill. The author of the
legislation vacated the speakers chair
to address the membFrs. He quoted
several authorities on the question of
military preparedness and ridiculed
what he termed the -'so-called board
of trade Of Hilo," the opponents of the
measure.
An editorial of the StarBulletin was
read as presenting rnanswerable ar,
guments for the passage of the bill.
