STRICT, SAYS
M'LEAN

Japanese or other nationalities
travelling as deck passengers in inter.
Island steamers are treated with uni
fern courtesy. say officers in the
company. when seen today. The COM
plant coming from NJ Negoro, secre-
tary of the Japanese Society of Ha-
wal. brought to the attention of the
public utilities commission yesterday
afternoon. complaining that deck pas
sengers were ill-treated, is today de-
clSred not founded upon fact
This is the first time to my knowl-
edge where complaint has ever been
made by anyone of the treatment ac-
corded deck passengers on fnter.lsland
steamers, said j. l.. Mclean, vice
president and general manager, land
you may be assured that II any pas
senger has not been treated right by
any of our employees We will do ev-
erything in our power to take such
measures as are necessary TO prevent
such thing happening in the future.
The policy of the Inter-lsland
Steam Navigation Company has al.
ways been to accord its passengers,

and our officers and men are c0ntin-
ually being instructed to do everything
for their comfort. OF course you will
that owing to the size of
our steamers and the limited space
some of them have for deck passen-
gers, it is often impossible for our off,
GERS and men to go from one part OF
the steamer to another without step

gers and in doing so 1t Is barely pos
sible that someone may have been
stepped on, but feel sure that none
of our employees would wilfully do any.
thing to cause the passengers to feel
that they we're being mistreated," said
Mr. Mclean.
As to the regrettable accident
which occurred at Lahaina, in which
one of our best and most experienced
beats crews was involved, this only
goes to show the necessity Of extend
ing the wharf at McGregor's at the
earliest possible moment, for Lahaina,
even at best, is getting to be risky
port at which to land passengers,
if the wharf at McGregor's
were extended, as authorized by the
last legislature, there would be no DIFF
ficulty in, landing passengers there
safely whenever weather conditions at
Lahaina made 1t unsafe to attempt a
landing there"

leaving the Pacific coast for Austria
liza, was passed by the Pacific Mail
liner Korea early Wednesday evening,
steaming in the direction of Honolulu
at a speed of about four knots an

Officers in the Mackinaw wirelessed
9. few facts concerning the predica-
ment Of the ship to the Korea. They
said the machinery had been seriously
damaged. The trouble developed a
few days after leaving San Francisco
when the feed pumps became useless.
The Mackinaw is said to be steaming
the remainder of its voyage with one
boiler in commission. An attempt was
made to repair the broken parts, but
without complete success.
At the speed the Mackinaw was
making when passed by the Korea it
is not expected that it will arrive at
Honolulu much before Sunday night.
The vessel was given a full cargo of
wheat at Columbia river and San
Francisco for delivery to Sydney and
Melbourne. George d. Flood, a steam
ship man of the North Pacific coast,
who visited the islands two years ago

Negotiations for Cooperation ol
Neutrals to Protest Against
Britain Without Result.

Washington, August o. The
United States will continue to
act alone in representations to
Great Britain regarding neutral
trade. 1t was learned tonight
that negotiations begun by Swed-
ish legation here to obtain Amer
lean cooperation in proposed
concerted action of neutrals to
protest against the British or
ders in council, have brought no
results.
The American state depart
ment rejected previous sug-
gestion by Sweden for a joint
note of protest and the latest pr
posal contemplated identica
notes.
The plan. contemplating joint
protest by the United States, the
Scandinavian countries and Hol.
land, are rejected on the grounds
that the United States could noI
involve itself in any agreement
that might be interpreted as con.
tracing "entangling European

suggested that all neutral nations
whose commerce was suffering

ures, should agree on polio,

ature Did Damage. Some
Nights too Cool.

Memphis, Tenn. Aug. o.
cotton crop suffered a decided set
back during the last fortnight ac-
cording to reports of correspond

Dry weather and high tempera-
atures during the first half of

continued dry weather during the
past week were the prin cipal
contributing factors to the loss in

Worst reports probably come
from the central belt. Texas is
very dry but the plant seems to
be standing the drouth better
than in other localities. In Okla.
homa the crop improved as a re-
suit of favorable weather, but il
still late and fruiting slowly. In
the east much damage resulted
from drouth. Lack of sufficient
fertilizers is becoming painfully
apparent, both in the growth anC

TO PROTECT FOREIGNERS
Armed Inter, ention 10 Establish
Mexican Government Seems
Last Resort.

Washington. Aug. 10. The
American battleships Louisiana
and New Hampshire sailed to-
night from Newport, Rhode Is
land. for Vera Cruz, in response
to an urgent request from Com
mander McNamee that his little
fleet of gunboats be reinforced
in view of anti-foreign demon
strations in Carranza's capital.
1t is understood that President
Wilson himself ordered the bat
tleships to be sent, although no
official would admit even that
they had sailed. The official reti-
cence is due largely to a fear that
news of the coming of the battle
ships might accentuate the al
ready serious situation at Vera
Cruz.
Secretary Lansing refused to
discuss naval matters other than
to say that a ship will be sent to
Vera Cruz to replace the one that
will bring away the Brazilian
and Gautemalan ministers.
Armed Intervention to estab-
lish the Mexican government is
contemplated only as a last re-
sort, and it is understood that the
South American republics will be
asked only for their approval if
his should beco ne necessary.
