PLANTATIONS TO
DISBURSE -FOUR
MILLIONS BONUS
Arrangements Made for Max
ing Payments Without Dis
tWbing Local Banks

Approximately $4,000,000 is the esti-
mate of the amount due to be paid to
day laborers and contractors by the
sugar plantations at the close of the
bonus year" which ends October 81.
This arises from the increased and
amended schedule as recommended by
the trustees OF the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association adopted in April
last but which did not specifically
state when the balance due to EN-
ployes upon October 81 should be
paid. This is stated in a notice pub
lished by the Hawaiian Sugar Plan
ters' Association in this issue of the
Star.Bulletin. -~=
1t has been the practise to pay the
bonus due October 81 upon the No
vember or December pay day immedi-
ately following but this year owing to
increases the amount will be ap-
proximately SA.0G0,000 and regular
monthly pay rolls must also be pro-
vided for In order to relieve the
burden which this would place upon
the local banks the trustees of the
association have decided that all
plantations located on the islands OF
Oahu and Hawaii will, where prac-
ticable, pay the balance due October
81 during the month of November,
while those plantations located on
Maui and Kauai will pay bonus bal.
ances during December.

termined on. E-
The Star-Bulletin is informed by Of
ficiais of the plantation company that

sition rather than speculation and
these who subscribed for the stock

bends and not with the idea of a
rapid rise of the shares on change.

rent from $50 to $50 and from the

ceeds the supply regardless OF the
fact that new houses are Constantly

Volume of Business is Larger
Than Normal But Smaller
Than During Boom

SHgaE stock prices have shown COM
paratiyeIy little change for some time
past and such changes as can be noted
would. on an average, read as de-
cline from top prices. And this is in
the face of good prices for sugar,
large earnings by the companies and
dividends paid TO the shareholders.
prospects OF an excellent crop next
season and no end of the European
war in sight II is a condition that
has proved puzzling to many people.
Commenting on the sugar stock
market one of the best known brokers
on Merchant street says that he looks
for change and an upward turn In
the market and he gave reasons that
sounded logical. Stocks had been
bought with an expectation OF adj
vances on the strength of expected
extra dividends. The advance came
and the expectations of large, divi-
dends were fulfilled. II was natural
that thcse who bought for a rise
should take profits. Their gains in
increased values were greater than
would be the dividends which would
accrue TO them. they figured and they
might have the opportunity to later
buy back at lower figure or to in
vest original capital and profits in
some other way. Stock thus sold had
to be absorbed and the process tended
to a decline in prices. But the pro-
cess of absorption has been completed
with less shrinking in prices that
was to be anticipated
Continuing this broker said that
not only had the companies disbursed
large dividends but they had also
added largely to surplus. were in a
position to make and many OF them
would make improvements which
would tend to reduce production
costs materially and thus insure
larger earnings on lower. priced sugar
than had in the past been possible
on such figures.
The war. he said, seems as far from
an end as 1t did year ago. No one
forecasts peace in much less than 10

A man said Of prominent politician the other day,
"He is twofaced"
What does that meanl 1t means that he will not tell
his true opinion speak out his true intentions. He
will talk to you about public measure and give you
to understand that he is in favor OF it, and yet when he
talking with somebody else he will give him to under
stand that he is against it. That means he has two
mouths.
The twoaced man, perhaps, is coward. He does
not want to tell you your face that he is opposed the
things of which you in favor.
And, perhaps, he is treacherous like an Indian He
does not to stand in the open. He wishes to put
you of your guard He gives you to understand that he
is in favor OF the things you desire then goes and works
against them behind your back and in the bushes.
Politics have been great school of treachery Many
politicians have been twoaced We hope better day
is coming and that increased number of public
men will have principles which they not afraid to
speak out and stand for man who has faith in right
eousness and truth and his elowman wants to carry
his measure by any two-faced methods.
Sometimes people tempted to be wofaced in
family matters and neighborhood matters, and school
matters and even in church matters!

ANALYSIS OF POISONED SOUP.

Chicago.-Four hundred and eighty
grains of arsenic were in the soup with
which, police believe, Jean Crones
tried to poison the guests at the ban
quet given at the University club to
the prominent Chicagoans in honor OF
Archbishop George w. Mundelein. DR..
Frederick A. Tonney, director of the
city laboratory, completed his quani-
tative analysis of the soup and found
that the poison averaged one and one
half grains to each three ounces OF
soup. The portion served each guest
at the banquet was between three and
four ounces, so that each one who
finished his soup took between one
and half and two grains OF arsenic,
The analysis shows that the guests
narrowly escaped death.

Germany has served notice during
the week, to all neutral nations, that
she intends to destroy all vessels OF
the enemy nations that are armed
for protection. Warning in this case
will not be counted necessary. By
inference it may be expected that
she will not be at liberty to destroy
the vessels Of enemy nations that are
sailing unarmed unless they are Civ
en- ample warning and time to re-
move the crew and passengers. This
new ruling is supposed TO be the re-
suit of the series of notes which the
