Changes WANTED
OF washington
Delegate Kuhio ConferS With
Party Leaders on National
Legislation
WOULD PROMOTE RANCHES
WITH CITIZEN OWNERS
Cutting-up of Pastoral Lands
Advocated in Territorial
Platform

Revision of the present laws regulat
! ing homesteading in Hawaii Is to be
taken up at Washington this winter
by Delegate Kuhio.
Following out the pledge of the Re
publican party in its territorial plat
form, leaders of the G. o. p. are work
ing out a plan to present in the form
of congressional bill. A conference
and luncheon was held today between
the delegate, r. w. Breckons, national
committeeman, H. l.. Holstein, the
"war-horse" from Kohala, and A. D.
Castro, who wrote the homesteadine
plank included in the platform adopt
ed last summer.
The plank includes the following
features, which win be observed in
shaping proposed legislation:
1--WE pledge our delegate in Congress
to endeavor to secure proper legisla-
tion permitting the legislature to
enact laws similar to the acts Of Con-
gress under which irrigation works to
be used in the reclamation of arid
land are constructed by the govern
ment.
I'VE also pledge our delegate in Con-
gress to endeavor to secure an exten-
sion of the laws relating to pastoral
lands so that it will be possible to
subdivide pastoral lands into small
areas of not more than 200 acres for
purpose of promoting ranches under
citizen ownership. Under the present
system wealthy corporations and in
dividuals are permitted to lease from
the government large tracts of land
and thus prevent the individual citi-
zen of moderate means from compet-
ing in the leasing of such lands. BY
this method the consistent monopoly
of the products of such land by few
corporations is being permitted, con-
trary to Republican principles OF in
dustrial opportunities"
The territorial legislature will be
called upon to look after other phases
of homesteading encouragement. Upon
these the platform says in part:
1--WE believe that the sphere of USE
fulness and powers of the land de-
partment, in reference to encourag1ng
and assisting homesteaders, should be
broadened, and for this purpose there
should be added to the land depart
ment a homesteaers' bureau to be
by agricultural experts,
who should, among other things, pro-
mote cooperation and understanding
between homesteaders and corpora
tions owning and controlling manu-
factories, water for irrigation ana
transportation facilities; also for the
of agreements concerning
the conservation, distribution and
sale of water for use on the land, and
the manufacture and purchase of prod
ucts."

ments is sborers were leaving in droves
and shortage Of labor was threat
ened. The report continued that it
was said unofficially new method of
bonus payments would be arranged by
the plantations
Investigations here do not bear out
the alarming view of the labor situa-
tion sent here from Hilo. A. w. T.
Bottonley, president of the planters
association, said this morning that he
consid cred any criticism of bonus pay
ments st this time premature; that
time should be given to see how it
would work out Then If changes be
necessary they can be made but
thus far there was nothing to indicate
that the plan was the failure which
the Hilo dispatches indicated. That
laborers would leave the plantations
ana take a trip after receiving the
bonuses paid them he considered quite
natural. They would want to make
purchases and to. enjoy themselves,
but he thought the majority would be
found back on the plantations when
work demanded them there.
According to the shipping depart
ment of Castle & Cooke, the local Mat
son and Toyo Kisen Kaisha agency,
steerage bookings of Filipinos on the
to leave at 10 a. m. We'd
nesday for San Francisco, are heavier
than usual. The total number of
steerage passengers booked to date is
more than donble the usual list.
There were Is Filipinos who got on
at Hilo, while bookings here are about
35 more, making 81 Filipinos to go
from this port Wednesday to San
Francisco out of IS who are booked
in the steerage The Wilhelmina,
leaving here November /, took 29

The same agency said today that
bookings to the Orient on the T. K. X.
liner Shinyo Maru, to leave here De-
,ember IA for Yokohama, are no heav-
er than they have been right along,
There are 400 Japanese booked for
he Shinyo, but this is not an unusu-
lily large number as the Asiatics pre-
Ter to travel On the big boats. They
have booked in the last week or two.

BLOODY Fighting
in CHIHUAHUA
CITY OUTSKIRTS
Villa Defeated and Beaten
Back Five Miles, Chased
BY Trevino's Cavalry

L . s-
CITY OF CHIHUAHUA, Mexico
Nov. 25.-CBy courier to Maria, Nov
26.)-The city is completely isolated
| north, south and east, the Villistas
having cut the telegraph lines.
The wires went down about ten
o'clock this morning, and since that
time it has been impossible to get a
message out of the city save by cour.
Ter, as this one will go.
Attack Follows
The cutting of the wires was pre-
paratory to another violent attack.
This came about eleven o'clock and
was preceded by furious outburst of
machine gun and rife fire from the
north. Hardly had the garrison con-
centrated in that direction, expecting
an attack from the north, when Villa
loosed his men from the southwest
The ragged horde broke through
the resistance Of the thin fringe of
outposts which General Trevino had
thrown out around the city for just
such a possibility, and forced the Car
ranzistas back until they were fight
ing in the streets of the city.
Fighting In Streets
The main outlet of the City of Chi
huahua in that direction is Farce av-
enue, and into the entrance of this
the Villistas poured their best men.
But the garrison commander had fore
seen such a possibility and the avenue
had been heavily barricaded, and prov
ed tougher nut than the outlaws had
expected to have to crack.
The fighting soon spread to the sur
rounding streets, however, and grew
fiercer in character as the garrison
hurried reinforcements to the threat
ened points from the north and east.
Soon the weight of the de facto troops
began to tell, and when the artillery,
Of which Trevino has a quantity, came
into action the Villistas were driven
back
Villas Loss Heavy
As they retreated the Carranzistas
raked the retiring masses with the
artillery and the machine guns, kill
ing very many. The automobile in
which Villa has been riding since his
wound was found after the fighting.
overturned in field outside of the
city. 1t was badly shattered by shell
and bore the marks of many bullets.
Villa is said to have escaped on horse
back.
Both sides reported heavy losses in
the fighting, and General Trevino to-
night is bending his energies in pre-
pairing for another attack, which he
expects to be launched Sunday morn
ing. 1t may be surprise attack and
from any point of the compass for the
outlaws surround the city.
The wounded are still lying where
they fell for the fire from both sides
has been continuous making it i'm
possible to go to their assistance.
The bandits have been driven back
FIVE miles and were pursued by the
cavalry under the command of General
Ozunas.

SUGGEST ACTION FOR
RADIANCE OF TYPHOID

Decisive action for the blotting out
Of typhoid contamination in the Hilo
water supply WIS recommended to the
businessmen Of that city by DR.. J.
s. B. Pratt and DR.. Donald H. Currie
in their visit there last week. Both
men returned yesterday morning from
Hawaii
DR.. Pratt said today that among the
recommendations were the plan to
move the city reservoir nearer to the
spring that feeds it; the fencing in of
the spring itself, and the constant use
Of chlorine in the water. When the
authorities arrived in Hilo, new cases
were appearing about once a day. 1t
is not yet ascertained where the con-
tamination comes from.
