conference yesterday with Governor
PinkhaIn, il being announced later that
the Territory win carry the injunction
suit, which Circuit Judge Stuart on
Friday decided in favor % the Homo
lulu Rapid Transit Company, to the
supreme court.
The carrying Of this case to the So
prone court Is not unexpected, for 1t
had been previously stated, during the
trial, that it would be taken to tho
higher tribunal, no matter which side
won out Ia the circuit court.
The officials of the Rapid Transit
Company are, naturally, elated over the
outcome of the suit and they say that
no other result could have been eI.
pected but verdict in their favor,
that In, the dissolution of the injunc-
ton and the dismissal Of the action IL
self. They claim, further, that even
the valuation the Territory claimed for
the company g system showed that the
Rapid Transit Company is, under the
law and its charter, entitled to in
crease its capitalization from 81 ,207 800
to 81, 100000.

for the erection of a building eighty
by fifty feet at Papaikou, Hawaii; to
be used as social hall for plantation

WILLARD IS WEALTHY

Championing is profitable business
This is evidenced by the financial re-
port of Jess Williard's engagement
with the "1O1" Ranch. Summarized,
the financial statement issued by Man
ager Tom Jones includes these items:
That Willard was guaranteed $1,000
a day, and worked 40 days.
That his average earnings were ap-
proximately $1,000 per day, or $16S,0Oo
in ALL That Willard received 90 per
cent of this sum, or $lO0,800.
That the other 40 per cent had been
divided by the other members Of the
Willard syndicate, Fraze, Weber, Cur
ley and Jones.
That Willard still is worth $4,000,
after buying Prazee and Weber out Of
the contract. for $4,000.
1t is also brought to our attention
that willard cares more for his family
than for filthy ucre. After his con-
tract with the show expired, Willard
was offered twenty-week contract Mt
$500 per week to go on the stage, but
big Jess spurned it, saying that he
needed a rest, and more than that,
wanted to be with his wife and chill
dren for a spell.

RUBBER BOUNCES
TO A new FIGURE
But High Prices Win Not Last For
All Time, Say Brokers In
Touch With Market

The Warehouse Company received
wireless advices yesterday from the In
dia Rubber World, New York, that tho
price of plantation rubber has risen to
$l.04. This is the equivalent of 9S
or 30 cents at Singapore, the differen.
tial varying from four to six cents ac-
cording to freight conditions and OK.
change.
Fred T. P. Waterhouse said in re
gard to the recent rapid increase in
rubber prices that there has been no
change in the state of consumption, so
far as he is aware, to warrant the rise.
''lt is simply that the available stocks
n the United States have been gradu.
ally depleted. The recent sinking of
three vessels having small consigu.
ments Of rubber, has brought manu-
facturers to a sudden realization of
the low margin of raw material at their
disposal" ne said. "The rubber lost
did not amount to very much all told,
but it has awak ened buyers to the ac.
tual condition of the market.
Buyers Want Real Rubber
"Prices have gone up because manu-.
facturers want rubber enough on hand
80 that they can continue operations
wen should cargoes in transit fail to
arrive. They have fair stock but
not enough to insure against contin-
geneies. The actual rubber is what
is wanted and manufacturers are bid
ding against one another to get it.
81 do not believe that high prices
will continue to rule," Mr.. Waterhouse
stated. "When the war ends, and that
may come as suddenly as 1t started, the
war demand for many commodities will
cease and readiustments will have to
follow in many lines. The purchasing
power of all the world, outside Of the
United States, will be much less be.
cause of the actual annihilation of
capital that has taken place since
August, 1914. .~.t..
"The basis on which we have figured
assumes that il the average selling
price of rubber is fifty cents the plan,
tations will pay certain dividends. /
believe it is better to look at the flu
ture of rubber production from con-
sentative viewpoint. Of course these
high prices are very acceptable and all
would like to see them continue in
definitely, but do not think they
will" Mr.. Warehouse said.

Increase From SO to $3.75 An
nounced BY Matson Line,
Effective Wednesday

Canned pines will pay a rate of 1915
a ton from the Islands to San Francisco
in. the steamers of the Matson line, be-
ginning with the Matsonia, due to sail
Wednesday morning, and effective on
all sailiugs after the. Matsonia. An

yesterday morning by John Drew, man

1t is expected that the Oceanic and
Great Northern Pacific lines will follow
the Matson, but advices are being
awaited.
Special Rate GIVEN
When pines first began to be shipped
a special rate of SO, fifty cents less than
the rate on general merchandise, was
granted. This was under the theory
that the Gamers were beginning an in
FAINT industry, which should be fostered.
During the SUMMER. increases were
made on general freight from the Coast,
beginning with the American Hawaiian

Matson and Oceanic lines, from SO so 10

these increases were declared, that can.
ned pines would not continue lOns II

and absolutely greater than that on

Prospects of Barney OldfeId coming
to Honolulu next month and taking
partsin a series Of automobile races at
KapiOlani Park are growing brighter
and Il. 3. Waterman, who has the plans
under consideration, is. confident the
meet will be held. He has discussed
the matter with the board of directors
of the Hawaiian Racing and Polo Club,
which now controls Kapiolani Park,
and Mr.. Waterman has its permission
to use the track and to make whatever
improvements that are necessary. Mr..
Waterman has given the course tho.
rough looking over and believes that
with the. proper banking of the curves
it, will be possible to pull off a first
class met.
If the proposition is carried out it is
almost certain that Barney Oldfeld, an
automobile driver Known all over the
world, will be one of the participants
Prior to his coming to Honolulu, M.
Waterman was in Los Angeles and was
informed by Oldfeld that he would
gladly come to Honolulu and race. Ed
die Pullen, another famous driver, also
expressed a willingness to race here.
Eddie Grant, another famous driver,
is also a probable competitor.
Mr.. Waterman also plans to have a
couple of races in which local men will
compete. There are several high-speed
racing cars here and drivers willing TO
enter. The mainGander is also consid.
ering a proposition of having a motor,

Strong
FOR ALAKEA SLIP
Think It Big Joke To Think of
Changing Place For Holding
Carnival Meet 49,

Holding the Carnival swimming
ev Nnts at any other pier than that at
the foot of Alakea street does not meet
with much enthusiasm among either the
swimmers or the public. The swimmers
are in open rebellion and several of the
top nOtchers say they will not send
in their names as competitors If the
place Of holding the meet is changed.
William T. Rawlins, who is to handle
the meet, is against the proposition
first, last and all the time and he is
backed up by nearly every swimmer in
Honolulu. t,
"Holding a swimming meet at any
other place than the Alakea street
wharf is simply out of the question, b"
was the declaration of a prominent
swimmer yesterday. ave swimmers
are used to the Alakea slip and there
is no place in Honolulu as well adapted
to a swimming meet. The water is
clean and of an excellent temperature.
Eliminating the wishes of the swim
mors, the public must be considered.
Pier 16, is away off the car line and
always hard to reach. II it rains one
would have to have rubber boots or q
row boat, and if it is a warm day,
there will be nothing but dust in the
air. Women do not care to wade
through mud or dust and will not even
attempt to 90 to Pier Is.
"Alakea street wharf is the only
place to hold the swimming meet and
| sincerely hope no change will be
made. :
One quick look yesterday at the road
leading to Pier 10 was enough to con
vince anyone that holding a swimming
meet there is simply out of question.
