Body Endorses Judge Dole
Mr.. Lewis stated in support of his
resolution to refer the Forbes report to
committees that the action Of the cham
her of commerce must be in the direc
tiOn of continuity of policy and it was
not advisable for the commercial bodies
to go on record either for or against
the Forbes recommendations until there
has been full investigation and dis
cussiOn. Much of the subject matter of
this report affects the commercial bod.
les throughout the Territory and it is
hoped that these and the business in.
terests of Hawaii generally will be
heard from.
The chamber unanimously adopted a
resolution introduced by G. p Wilder
endorsing Judge Sanford B, Dole for
reappOintment. They also went on rec,

States government to reimburse ship,
pers and Shipowners for losses due to

SUCCESSOR OF
THE PACIFIC MAIL
Pacific and Eastern Company To
Operate Under the Ameri-

The Pacific and Eastern STEAMSHIP
Company, which was Incorporated a;
Albany with a capital of $1,000 900
plans to operate it's vessels under tho
American flag, according to informa
ton obtained from reliable sources il
Washington. The company has been
organized jointly by American and
thinPse interests, and will inaugurate 3
freight and passenger service between
China, the Philippines and the United
States. Some of its vessels will prob
ably touch at Atlantic Coast ports, al
though the chief service will be to the

John Mitchell, Jr., of the firm of +
Mertens' Sons, of Cumberland, Nd.
and Washington, d. g., which repre-
sents the American interests in the
enterprise, is president of the new com
pany. The organization of the com,
pany was prompted by Philip Manson
of New York, who has recently return
ed from China, where he secured the
cooperation of capitalists in Shanghai
and Canton in the formation of the
steamship line. Mr.. Manson is manag
ing director of the company. -Four
Americans and three Chinese consti
tute the directorate, one half of the
capital having been subscribed by
Americans an one half by Chinese. It
is understood that the company expects
to buy or charter steamships 80 tina
sailings may begin soon and will place
orders for vessels to be delivered at
quickly as possible.
- 1t is very interesting to know that
the Pacific & Eastern Company consid
ers itself to do business under ex.
listing law and to sail its ships under
the United States fag," said Secretary
Redfeld in commenting upon the new
line. In this connection it may b.
well to recall that another company
the China Mail, made its first sailing
from San Francisco for the Orient or
October 27th.
In view of the withdrawal of tho
Pacific Mail Steamship Company from
the trade on the ground that it could
not operate under the provisions of tn
seamen 5 act, the Inauguration Of two
new companies in the transPacifc trad
is highly encouraging and significant,

CHAUFFEUR RESCvES
STOLEN AUTOMOBILE
BY Ignoring Police lack BeISer
Gets Quick Action

When you have your automobile
stolen do not call up the police if you
are in any hurry. The stern keepers
of the peace will only notify you to
call around in the morning and they
will take YOUR statement. For real &C
ton, notify the taxi stands. The
chauffeurs on these are the boys who
do not have to wait for instructions
from higherups.
j. j. Belser discovered this truth last
night, after he had sauntered out of
Ye Liberty and failed to find his six
cylinder Buick where he had carefully
left on entering the playhouse. 1t had
gone and Mr. Belser wondered what
grand jury witness was getting his
head stove in.
First he notified The Advertiser that
his machine had gone joy-riding with
a party or part ps unknown. Next he
notified half a dozen of the taxi stands
to keep an eve open for Car l0l. With.
in an hour he had his car, rescued by
n chauffeur from the City Taxi Stand,
who had chased the thief into one of
the lanes off Nuuanu street.
The taxi man spied the number lOI
on a car which almost ran him down.
He turned and the chase began, just
like a movie show. The Buick beat it
and the taxi after. Finally the auto
thief turned into a dark lane, ditched
his stolen property and disappeared
across lots.
There were no police badges in the
stolen ear this time
