The Arkansas Conference for Social
Welfare Will ask the legislature to
enact the bill which has been pre-
pared to provide Il new method for
the management OF die states eleem-
osynarY and penal institutional. Th"
plan which has been proposed may
he summarized as follows:
I. That thc superintendent OF each
institution be given larger powers,
(a) to conduct the institution; OBJ to
be party to the purchase OF sup
plies; (c) to engage and discharge
2. That unpaid boards Of five mana
gers for each institution serve long
terms which expire separately be
vested with the management, control,
purchase of supplies and oversight OF
each institution.
3. That there be an unpaid cen
trail board of seven members, TO serve
long terms which expire one at a
time (Board of Charities and Correc-
tions) with power to supervise the
institutions and with certain powers
Of control as follows: Ca to pass
the biennial budget; CD, to approve
the location of buildings and accept
tho plans and materials used in con-
(c), to consent to the APP
rointment and discharge of superln-
tcndents; I'D. to establish forms OF
accounts; (e), to require reports ana
specify the forms Of same; f), to
audit the books; (g), to investigate
the institutions: Om, to advise with
the managers and superintendent;
Cd to employ experts when needed:
4. That the board of charities and
correction employ trained eXecu-
We officer.
5. That there be a conference OF
euperintendents to discuss problems

revoke license for cause.
s. That county boards of advisers
assist the board of charities and cor
rCcton IN each county.
9. That the board Of charities and
correction have supervision over I'll
institutions in the state of an ellca-
oGynary or penal nature other than
purely educational institutions.
In advocating this revolutionary
program, the promoters of the meas-
ure. representing many correlated
organizations, make the follow IL
statement.
We believe that the administrat We
expense of this plan will cut The
present administrative expense by
more than half. 1t will further give
not only efficient supervision end
control to the state institutions, but
will supervise county, city and Tri-
vate institutions, which at the pres
Cnt time are greatly in need of pub
lie oversight
The adoption of this plan would
abolish the present board Of cont Of,
the penitentiary commission, mo
Confederate home board and The
Tuberculosis Sanitarium board.
It is realized that it will be diff
cult to get through the entire pro-
gram because of the great changes
that it will make in established con-
Gitions.
The plans outlined provide enough
work to keep the central board
busy all the time, and it would rob
ably be difficult to secure seven 11en
and women who could or woul' de-
vote so much of their time t. the
work without compensation. Tho bill
has been prepared by some o. tho
best thought of the state, men and
women who have made careful
study of the subject, aside fror tha
political aspect, and with reaso liable
notifications to meet the opinions OF
1876 lawmakers, they believe they
will be able to secure the enactment
Of a measure that will make decided
improvements upon the present sys-

SANTA TO PEOPLE
ACROSS THE SEAS
Tons of Money Being Sent
to Europe by Relatives
and Friends Of War
Victims.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Women in
mourning garb and men with solemn
faces, waiting in line these days all
over the United States before post
office windows where foreign money
orders are issued, tell worthless story
of the sorrows of wars destruction
reaching across the seas to America.
A third Christmas time Of world
conflict has seen long lines of happy
folk, radiant with holiday spirit at
the prospect of sending something
'home to the old folks" aurned into
silent parties of mourners, sending
back money to ALLEVIATE suffering and
filled with anxiety and distress with
the uncertainty of it's safe arrival.
There is also the grave uncertainty

fronts.

the entente allies than of the central
in England and France have been in
terfered with only slightly. No de,
livery is being made in Austria, and
German points receive theirw orders
'ate, if indeed, they get them at all.
Virtually no orders are being sent to
Russia, largely because Warsaw, which
was the central station for the pay
ment of orders, now is in the war zone.
This situation has affected the money
order receipts in this country greatly,
too, for in former years Russians in
the United States led all the remain
ing foreign-born citizens in sending
money home at Christmas time.
Prisoners of War Remembered
Prisoners Of war will receive many
money orders this Christmas. This is
particularly true in England, where
delivery is good. By an agreement
made severa lyears ago in a conven-
ton of various countries to effect a
postal agreement, it was arranged that
orders to prisoners of war should be
transmitted free of charge, and the
United States is living up to the agree
ment scrupulously.
Submarine activities have made
much to do with decreasing the Christ
mas business in foreign orders, and if
the total for this year falls below
that for 1915 as it probably will, the
underseas liners can be blamed for
much of the decrease, according to
Third Assistant Postmaster General

than formerly. It's decreased numbers
is attributed to the fact that the gov
eminent, despite determined efforts,
is unable to guarantee safe and speedy
delivery of money orders in the war

Tourists Booked to Sail
After Carnival

More than TOO tourists now here
will leave Honolulu after the MID
Pacific Carnival closes. Inquiry at To-
cal steamship offices today developed
the fact that both the Manoa, SAILING
for San Francisco February ~, and
the Matsonia, leaving March 8, are al
ready booked to capacity, with wait
ing list; also that the Oceanic steamer
Sonoma, sailing February %, has lou
booked to date, and the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific, sailing Feb
ruary %, are also nearly filled rlsht
now. T.: s=.....-.-.- >.:..#-
The Manoa's capacity is % cabin
passengers, and every cabin is sold
out today, Castle & Cookies shipping
department said this morning. A
capacity passenger list is already
booked on the Matsonia, which can
carry 220 cabin passengers. A wait
ing list OF y for these two steamers
is said to be on file at the local Mat
son agency. Manager J. H, Drew said
both steamers will carry capacity lists
out. ".... S..
At the Oceanic agency, c. II. Brewer
& Co, d. II. Gilmore of the passenger
office said 100 passengers are booked
for the Sonoma, due to leave here the
afternoon of February %, the same
day as the Manoa. Whether there
will be room for all booked on the
Sonoma, is not yet known, but it is
believed there will be plenty of cabin
space, as Oceanic steamers in the last
six weeks or more have been carrying
light passenger lists, owing to the re-
cent law forbidding Australians OF
military age to leave the country. A
cable from Sydney is looked for late
today or tomorrow, stating how many
cabins are empty.
At the office of Fred L. Waldron,
Ltd, local agents for the Great North
ern Pacific Steamship Company, the
number of local passengers booked for
the Great Northern, leaving here at
IL o'clock Saturday night, February
26, the closing night of the Carnival,
was given as l56 first-cabin, 3S second
and 81 steerage. For the Northern
Pacific, sailing at midnight the same
night, for San Francisco via Hilo,
there are rs passengers booked to
date. The Northern Pacific has only
first-cabin accommodations
Total passengers bookeu to date for
Matson, Oceanic and Hill steamers
after the Carnival closes, number 698,
and it is more than likely that many
more will gosff they can secure cabin
space.

.0UNI ASKS FOR PROOF
THAT HE INTENDED TO
ABANDON YOUNGSTERS

Accused of boarding the Chinyo
Maru with the intention OF going to
Japan with his second wife and leay-
ing his first wife and two children
without means OF support, Joseph
Quni maintained this morning in the
police court that his intentions could
not be proved and as he had not up to
the time of his arrest failed to pay
his wife part of his weekly salary, ne
was not guilty of any crime. Judge
Monsarrat withheld decision until TO-
morrow.
To assist the city and county attor-
ney,s office in the prosecution Attor-
neys Frank Andrade and c. F. Peter
son appeared, and for the defense
Lorrin Andrews and w. ] Sheldon.
The case was fought on legal teehni.
calities.
The defense contended that Qunl
had paid aliInony as ordered by the
circuit court. up TO the day OF sailing
and therefore had not failed to obey
| the court order. while the prosecution,
putting aside the question OF alimony,
claimed Quni was trying to leave Oahu
without providing for the support Of
his children and that he was charged
with the support of the children BY
/ the statutes, and without relation e
the order of any court.

new MANOA PARK
OPENED; CONCERT
GREAT SUCCESS
HospitabIe Residents of Sec
ton Keep "0pen House"
for Many Friends

A community gathering OF unusual
interest and enjoyment brought to-
gether last night residents OF Manoa
valley and many scores OF friends
| from all parts Of the city. The occa-
sion was the first concert OF the Ha-
waiian band in Manoa park, and It
twas not only municipal but a social
function of delightfully."- Informal ma
ture r. II. ... ...
Residents of Manoa, particularly
those living near the park, kept open
house. throughout the evening. The
residences were gaily lighted and at
each was a host or hostess waiting
| to receive friends. Many very fnfor-
NAL little receptions we're held, the
guests going from house to house for
few moments of greeting, while dur
| ing the evening the residents also
visited around" =
Mayor Lane and the board of super
visors adjourned their deliberations
carly and attended the latter part OIL
| tT.e concert. They were guests at the
| hospitable home of r. and Mrs. J :.
Young, where, throughout the even
ing, large number OF Manoa fol6s
and visiting friends we're entertained.
ITO add to the celebrant character OF
the event, ii was the day of the home
coming Of Mr.. Young from business
trip to the mainland. He arrived on
the Wilhelmina yesterday and many
i friends took occasion last night to call
and bid him aloha"
More than 100 people called during
the evening at the Young home. A
big punchbowl and other refreshments
eyinced the hospitality dispensed to
all corners until long after the band
had played Its farewell selections.
The concert itself was one OF the
most enjoyable given by the band in
years 1t was a perfect moonlight
night and the bandsmen in their white
uniforms, seated under large tree
upon the Manoa park grass, with the
| lights through the park and the lights
from the many autos clustered around,
made an exceedingly pretty picture.
The feature of the band program
was the Echo composition, which Is
said to date back to. the days of King
! Kalakana. The band played the OPEN
/ ing part and then from far. away up
the moonlit hillside there floated down
silvery echo. The main band again
! took up the melody and when 1t paus-
ed, from another direction came an
other sweet and lingering echo. A
third echo sounded shortly after and
then each was repeated as the band
proceed. The effect was extremely
beautiful and Bandmaster Peter Kala-
nj and his bandsmen were heartily ap-
| plauded.
Park Superintendent Vierra. who
had worked hard for the success of the
evening, was complimented for his
efforts, as were the mayor and super
visors. Mayor Lane and Supervisors
Logan, Arnold. Hollinger, AHA and
| Single called on Mr.. and Mrs. Young
and assured the Mandates present
that their section of the city will be
given attention in the matter of pub
lie improvements.
The evening was such a pronounced
success that the mayor says it GER
tainIy viii be repeated and Manoa
park win soon have another concert.

State Game Warden Leroy Jones and
Deputy James Keane of Moscow, who
look after the business of the game
department in the Northern end of the
state, were in the city the first of the
week on business. IN discussing the
political affairs of the state Mr.. Jones
was of the opinion that the reelection
of Gov. Alexander was assured and by
a greater majority than before as he has
won favor with the taxpayers over his
policy of economy. The governor has
given Idaho the first real business ad-
ministration it has had in years and in
so doing he has secured the enmity of
the politicians but with the people a

Departure Scene of Sadness.


The sadest scene was the fnal good
byes at the railway station just before
departure, in the neighborhood of five
hundred people being on the station
platform Here were mothers whose
hearts We're torn with grief but with
patriotism so strong as to finally rule
over motherlove. Serious minded faith
ers, realizing the dangers of the duty
their sons were about to perform and
while heavy 4hearted must have had
their grief some lightened with the spirit
of pride they were so justly entitled to
feel in being the fathers of these red
blooded typical young American men
who did not finch when the country
called. Sweethearts, proud of the boys
and the spirit of patriotism which fired
them and caused them to come forth |
when their country was in danger. And
then the friends who bore witness to
the fact that the spirit of 10 is still
with us and after all we are the same
patriotic Americans Of hundred years
