B0GEY OF FREE
SUGAR BURIED;
EXCISE UNLIKELY
So Washington Representative
of Cane Growers Sizes
Up Situation

That strong opposition exists in
both branches of Congress over the
proposal said TO be backed by the re
dining interests-for a consumption or
excise tax on sugar, IL emphasized In
circular letter received in this morn
ing's mail BY Paul J. Christian, repre-.
sentative and publicity man in Wash
ington for the American Cane Grow
CTS Association.
The letter. which win be OF interest
10 Hawaii, says:
Il am enclosing copy OF the bill In
troduced yesterday by Mr.. Kftchin.
the Democratic leader in the House,
to repeal the free sugar clause of the
Underwood tariff law.
the Democratic leader decided TO
make the intention Of Congress upon
the subject Of this legislation SO plain
that there could be no room for mis-
understanding. Therefore he used the
word repealed This buries the free
sugar bogey for long time to come.
AS originally drafted by the friends
Of the domestic sugar industry, the
word suspended was substituted for
repealed II was thought that this
word would not be so offensive to the
men who were responsible for writ
ing the free sugar clause into the
present tariff law.
sOn the other hand, 1t has been
feared that the same influences which
built up the sentiment for free sugar
would renew their efforts as soon as
normal trade conditions returned fol-
lowing peace in Europe, and that the.
use Of suspended instead Of "re-
pealedy would be an invitation to.
these men 10 point TO the fact that
the suspension iled simply been tenn
porary act Of expediency to help the
treasury.
Therefore the proposed unqualified
repeal Il hailed with much satisfaction
by The friends OF the domestic sugar
Industry.
sAf was stated in the letter sent
out from this Office under date Of Feb
ruary 18th. the postoffce appropria
ton bill is now being considered by
the house, and Il Is not likely that the
repeal of the free sugar clause wiz be
taken up until that Is disposed Of. In
well informed circles Il Is expected
that the bin introduced yesterday by
Nr. Kitchin VIII be reached in about
two weeks, and that It VIII be passed
without much trouble or delay.
while the refners are seeking to
have Nr. Kitchin,s bin amended when
n reaches the senate By adding the
consumption tax feature Of one-half
cent pound upon al domestic sugar
yet. 4 is not likely that this effort
FI'I be successful
The relners are said TO be prtpar-
iDo % renew their fight for the impo-
e'L'on Of 3 consumption tax later In
the session when the bills for raising
additional revenues are reported to the
house. There is strong opposition IN
both branches Of CongreEs however.

plated by the federal officials until
after the commissioners hearing to-
morrow of the case of Guy d. Randell,

who are now under arrest charged
with completely in the plot.
There are still three warrants in
| the marshal's possession, one of which
bears the name OF Hawkshaw. Whe-
ther these will be served, however,
depends upon the findings Of District
Attorney Horace w. Vaughan and
Marshal Smiddy, who this afternoon
were to look over great mass of
evidence gathered by the latter Of
ficiaI.
No Special Grand Jury.
Randell, alias England, already has
pleaded guilty to Commissioner
George S. Curry, and has been bound
over to the federal grand jury. No
special session of the jury has yet
been called, and this action probably
wiz not be taken, according to Mr..
Vaughan. The next meeting OF the
jury is scheduled to be held early next
month.
Federal officials today intimated
that there are sure to be other war
rants issued following the examination
of the documentary evidence, and
following the opening up Of new
phases of the case. The evidence is
to be thoroughly examined, however,
before the officials take any further
action.
District Attorney Vaughan says
that to date he has no evidence re-
garding the completely Of any higher
ups in the case.
Information which has come to me,
however, Is that several other per-
sons are mixed up in the deal, -he de-

information to the effect that num-

Honolulu for the purpose Of enlist

that he will be the principal witness

goes to trial. Although released on

FISH LINES OF GREAT LENGTH
Many Of Those Employed in Fishing

Sixty Miles Long.

The most OF the haIibut are caught
with the hook and line. The fishing,
however. has nothing gamy or sport
ing about It. The lines are dropped
down into the sea in such a way that
the baited hooks rest on the bed OF
the ocean. The lines are OF great
length. Some OF them are so miles
long: when loaded with fish it takes
the steam engine on the vessel the
better part OF a day to wind them up.
They are divided into sections, each
section having a float or buoy that
rests on the surface. and is marked
by flag in the daytime and at night
by light The line lies right on the
bed OF the sea. Attached to it are
hundreds OF hooks and each hook is
baited. The halibut swallows the bait
and is caught on the hook and held
there until the line is drawn up. These
fish always feed on or close to the bed
