100000 TO
INCREASE OAHU
CAPITAL, HJ#DR
."Street" Hears There May Be
Million Stock Dividend and
Million Sold at Par

Oahu Sugar Company stock was
again in demand in the stock market
today and once more rumOrs as 10
probable dividend action by directors
were heard One OF these rumOrs is
TO the effect that the company has
over a million in surplus and that it
is planned to enlarge the mill. One
rumor has il that there is TO be
stock issue to shareholders. Then
there is to be, ii is said, division OF
the surplus in dividends which will
meet the subsequent assessments on
the new stock.
The rumor' even goes so far as to
say that Oahu's present capital of So
000.00 is to be increased to 81 600. 900
and that one of the two extra millions
is to be added in the form of a
stock dividend TO shareholders,
shareholders at par. $50, the stock
thus handled being offered pro rata.
This extra capital is to cover the
very large extensions which Oahu
plantation is making with its increas-
ed water supply by the Waiahole tun.
mel and ditch system. The planta
ton can easily be brought up to a
50,000-ton producing property, local
sugar men say. and 1t will cost in
the neighborhood of $750,000 to Sc
cure the new mill equipment neces:
sary to handle the big crop increase.
Investigating this rumor the Star
Bulletin called upon Georg F. Rodiek
at the offices of Hackfeld & Company.
There are so many rumors afloat,
said he, that 1t is hard to keep track
of them There has been no action,
taken on these matters by the direct.

the street it was said that the suit
yesterday instituted by the Bishop

ceived from ii and that much of the
land now not in use could be planted
in pineapples by the Waialua company

DEFICIENCY OF
WATER SUPPLIES .
Seen At FIRE
Manager of Water Department
States Fault Lies With SyS-
tenn: Bonds are Needed

Lack of water al the fire In the
Union Pacific Transfer stables on
Queen street yesterday was not due
10 any fault of the water department
but 10 deficiencies in the city water
system. Fire Chief Charles Thurston
conferred with Harry Murray, mana
ger OF the wafer department. this
morning and the two agreed that
there was nothing that could have
been done yesterday 10 get more wa
ter at the fire. IL was lack OF suffi-
cient water that caused the total loss
OF the stables and an adjoining cot
tage. T..
There are other sections of the city
that would have suffered similarly in
the case OF big fire like that one yes
terday," asserted Thurston. There
was not enough water out there and
no way OF getting il. Outside of the
central and Kalshi districts, served by
the Beretania street and kalihi
pumps, the city is served by small
mains iilat are totally inadequate for
fire protection. A small fire can be
conquered with water from a six or
eight-inch main but not a big fire

only because water can be diverted
from Kalihi to 3eretania mains, or
vice versa, that the districts served
by those two pumps are sure Of an
adequate water supply in case of a
big fire" So.
Murray explained that his request
for the proceeds of a bond issue for
improvements in the city's water sys-
TEN, submitted at Tuesdays meeting
Of the supervisors, was made in the
hope or getting adequate fire protec-
ton for all parts of the city. His es-
innate of the total cost was 1857 600.
He asks that $4,000 of this be
available next year and the remainder
the year following.
Many sections of the city have no
fire MIGRANTS. Others have no water
MAINS" he sail this morning. This
means that in case of big fire they
would be almost helpless. Except for
the district from Makiki street In, and
Kalilii, the fire department can't get
enough water to fight anything be-
yond a very small fire. Nothing can
be done about it unless there is money
to do II with. The only remedy see
is bond issue to provide for add.

Max Bulger was known to the well
advised In metropolitan business cir
cles as "a shark" He had capital COM
ing, going, doubling, trebling, and called
1t 'the stream of power" Within its
depths he lurked, ready TO pOunce on
any unwary victim who trusted to It's
treacherous course. Into the stream
he lured fair but unsuspecting craft
and generally scuttled them.
His only living relative seemed to
be Bliss Porter, just out of college and
headed for a legal career. The young
man had barely heard Of this sordid
half-uncle until he was amazed, in
another city, struggling along indiffer-
emily, to receive q check for five hun
dred dollars from his relative, crisply
ordering him to close up his affairs and
come TO Chicago.
81 am going to leave my fortune TO
YOU" was the blunt startling an
nouncement OF old Max, provided you
learn my business and carry it on
where l leave it off,"
This seemed promising, but, at the
end Of q week. after his esteemed
relative had shown him 'the ropes"
Bliss Porter was disgusted. The
precious ways Of the shark, the tricks,
the traps, the preversiOns amazed and
then shocked him. He saw deluded
business men in need of money place

heartless, devouring monster. He
saw family disrupted through the
harsh measures employed in collect
ing an overdue obligation. Max Bull
ger cared only for his pound of flesh.
1t mattered littls to him that his ex-
acting extortions were at the cost OF
all his victim possessed.

and end the farce"
They were out in the Bulger auto
mobile that afternoon and Bliss was
waiting till they got away from the
crowded business center TO deliver his
ultimatum. A jam of vehicles blocked
them near the curb at one place. Di-
rectly within reaching distance stood
q thin threadbare old man. He put
out his hand for aims 10 the passers-
by. Porter's generous nature was
touched by his forlorn friendliness.
He took dollar bill from his pocket,
leaned out OF the machine and placed
Il in the hands of the old man.
"Oh, thank you, sir" began the
mendcant, and then his eye Glanced
to fall upon Bulger. The latter
shrank. cringed. Into the face of the
old man there had come n fearful
rage. yet, withal. tempered with a
certain dignity. He drew himself up
to his full height. He tore the bank
note into hundred pieces. He
leaned over and flung them squarely
into the face OF the covering Bulger.
"You and your brood" he shout
cd out, IL would starve ere took
charity from such," and then the Gu
rious crowd surging about him, he
screamed out frightful arraignment
OF Bulger. He accused him of ex-
tortion, OF running his business life,
OF driving him to beggary. The few
words fell like burning hot missiles,
ard, as the automobile started up,
Bulger gasped family:

Bulger. The latter gave up his blood

his sleep shrieking out the name OF

kept fallowed until the last OF June
when the seed is sown. This enables
us TO get crop the first year either
for hog pasture or for hay.
Advantages OF this method are:
/. We do not lose the use Of the land
for one year.
2. There Is less damage from injury
by grasshoppers than in the case OF
late summer seeding.
3. 1t insures strong root system
and less chance OF winter killing. The
only disadvantage Of this method Is
that, IL the ground Is foul the alfalfa
may be smothered by weeds.
Spring Seeding WITHOUT Nurse Crop.
In the West and North ii has been
n common practice to sow In the spring
without nurse crop, keeping the
weeds moved down during the sum
mer TO prevent smothering the alfalfa.
Ground that is manured and fall
plowed is best for spring seeding. The
next best Is corn stalk ground, either
manured the year before or In the
winter or early spring, thoroughly
disked and narrowed and seeded about
the middle Of April.
1t is important that the weeds be
moved two or three times during the
summer or they Will choke out the al
falfa.
The disadvantages OF spring sowing
are:
1 The loss of ono seoSon's cron
where no nurse crop is used.
2. The extra labor required to keep
down the weeds.
3. The danger of neglectlng the
weeds and the consequent loss of
stand or securing only a 'patchy
stand"
4. 1t Is the most crowded time Of the
year, and we either fail to put In the
alfalfa at all or slight the work.

more to insure success In getting

Well Prepared Seed Bed Essential.
A well prepared, firm, solid seed bed,
plenty Of good barnyard manure and
summer fallow to kill the weeds, are
most important.
Alfalfa seed may be either drilled, or
sowed, broadcast and narrowed in, or
even disked I'm, especially If the sur
face Of the ground is dry.
Sow ten to twelve pounds of seed
per acre. If evenly distributed this
will give fifty TO sixty seeds for every
square foot, while one thrifty plant to
the square foot is sufficient.
Cut alfalfa before it is in full bloom
or as soon as the young sprouts or
shoots start to grow at the base of the
plant Cut late In the afternoon or
evening.
When alfalfa Is left too long the
leaves, which are the most valuable
part of the plant, fall off and the stems
become woody and the yield of the
next crop is greatly reduced.
Alfalfa can be placed In the barn or
in stacks much greener than any other
kind Of hay. Twenty pounds of salt
sprinkled over each load of hay will
help to prevent heating and also add to
the palatability of the hay.

at least n small piece of alfalfa and IL
he does not succeed at first, try again
