Orpheum smith Sisters, and Jo
FavOrites at sephine Davis. The Kirk
Majestic smith Sisters are all
artists, and play the
cornet, trombone and violin, beside
singing high-class and popular selec-
tions in an entertaining fashion. They
occupy the headline position on the bill,
and Justly. Josephine Davis. the, we'll
known singing comedienne. is also an
artist along her own line of work, and
with her charming personality and
pleasing voice, she puts over an act that
is real hit. The Mystic Hanson Trio
present magic act in musical comedy
fashion. They have a lot of brand-new
tricks and spectacular illusions inter,
spersed with comedy talk, songs and
dancing. This idea of Introducing sing

new one, and forms a bright and pleas

Boy From industrial School
Shows Marks on Body
and Says Beaten

Showing the marks which he
claimed he received in a beating by
officials at the Waialee Industrial
school because he had broken orders
and gone to swim in a pond near the
farm, Joe Phillips, runaway from
the institution, was brought to the
juvenile court yesterday afternoon by
his married sister with the request
that he be given parole.
Young Phillips was sent back to
the reformatory by Judge c. w. Ash
ford, acting now in the Juvenile court.
The Judge said today that he has no
authority to grant boy freedom from
the school, that this is in the hands
of the Industrial school board OF
which the juvenile Judge is member.
THE boy showed the marks OF
some very vigorous handling" said
Judge Ashford today, "and had other
marks which were fainter and which
he claimed we're from a previous
strapping. He said he had been
stripped, tied up, and then strapped.
"He admitted to me that he knew
it was contrary to the rules of the
school to swim in this pond. but said
that he had tried to get into the bath
room, had found it locked and so
chose the other place as he was in
condition which called loudly for
cleanliness.
"He confessed that the former
strapping was for repeated violation

MEANS RAISE OF
DOLLAR HEAD
Inter-lsIand's New Tariff is
Increases of SO Cents on
Cattle BelpW 600 Lbs.

That the rea sOn 4he Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company has raised
its freight rates en transportation Of
livestock from Hawaii to Honolulu is
so that it can partly make up the loss
it now sustains on special trips to get
cattle, was stated this morning by
Vice President j. L. Mclean of the
corporation, giving the company's
side of the case relative to the pro-
test made to the public utilities CON-
mission against the new tariff, due to
60 into effect tomorrow, by Alfred W.
Carter, manager and trustee OF the
Parker ranch. The commission is
meeting this afternoon to decide
whether to let the raise go into effect.
The new rate practically increases
the freight charge on livestock shipped,
from Kawaihae, the Parker ranch
shipping port on the Big Island, oy
about dollar head. The new rate
is 1 cent per pound, dressed weight,
for all cattle and calves. -
How this is raise over the old
tariff is shown by the charges on this
commodity under the old sliding scale,
which has been as follows:
From Kawaihae to Honolulu, in
shipments of IS mead or more, 500
mounds or over, dressed weight, j cent
pound; 500 to 599 pounds, dressed
weight, SIS a head; 400 to 499 pounds,
81 a head; Isl to 399 pounds, $500
per head. ~. .<
In other words, freight charges on a
steer weighing 500 pounds will under
the new freight tariff be $3.50, against
the S. charged by the old rate. An
animal weighing 499 pounds will cost
S4.99 in freight, against 81, the pres
ent charge, and so on down the line,
although for the heaviest animals, sou
pounds or above, the new rate is no
higher. The cattle are brought here
alive and the dressed weight obtained
from the slaughterers in this city.
Special Trips Costly .... :~..
What Manager Carter is protesting
about most strenuously, the Inter
Island believes; is the clause in the
new freight tariff which provides that
irregular steamers, boats not running
on a regular schedule, will not be
sent to pick up shipments of less than
Is head of cattle, unless special
charge of 81 a head, in addition to
the cent pound charge, is paid. The
Parker ranch now ships an average of
IS head to trip, making about $40
cattle shipped month. ~. ..@
"On the old basis we have lost
money steadily on these special trips
to pick up cattle" said Mclean, "and
our new rate is designed to help Us
make up that loss" He added that
the Parker ranch ships most of its
livestock on boats calling regularly
at Kawaihae, but that the ranch has
frequently had the company make
special trips to pick up cattle.

Santa Fe Line Hopes To Keep at
Least One Train Going Each Way
(Associated Press by Federal wireles

(Associated Press by Federal wirelessD
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 31.-'Blind ar
rogance" on the part of the leaders of
the railroad brotherhoods, who "re-
fused all arbitration is the cause of
the present situation which threatens
a tieup of all of the important rail-
roads of the country, according to a
statement issued last night by Ed
ward Payson Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe system. He has notified
employees of the Santa Fe lines that
they will lose tneif places unless they
report for work Monday morning as
usual.
Mr. Ripley, in common with other
railroad executives here, declares that
he sees little or no hope OF averting
the threatening strike of more than
100000 members of the brotherhoods,
although he believes that many of the
employees Of the lines will remain 10y
al to their jobs and their employers.
viii Lose All Benefits
In his formal statement Mr.. Ripley
warned the employees of his lines that
should they go on strike they will
lose their seniority rights and such
pension benefits as they might have
due them at this time He points out
that employees who leave Will not
have the same standing with the COM
pany, even should they return to work
at the conclusion of the strike.
The Santa Fe president said he
hoped to be able to keep at least one
passenger train on each run each way,
and that he will give preference to

Grain Market Breaks Sharply
The wheat and grain market felt
the effect of the threatened strike
yesterday and wheat broke sharply,
dropping several points in the pit

This city, the center of the grain

acutely affected by the menace of the
strike. Big packers and grain ship
pers united yesterday in declaring
that unless the walkout of the men is
prevented the country faces a starya-
ton period. There is a certainty of
shortage of meat throughout the en-
tire country, said the packers.
