BY iowa WITNESS

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 9.-A
subcommittee of the senate judiciary
committee today began Its public in
quiry on the nomination of Louis D..
Brandeis of Boston to the vacancy left
by the death of Associate Justice La
mar of the u. s. supreme court.
The first witness today was Clifford
Thorne, who is chairman of the Iowa
state board of railroad commission
ers. He was associated with Bran
deis in the fight against giving the
eastern railroads increased freight
rates. Today on the stand he assailed
the conduct of Brandeis in this case,
charging him with ''infidelity, unpro-
fessional conduct and breach Of faith" !"
Thorne further charges that Brand
els, as attorney for the shippers, con-
ceded that the rate return to the rail-
road is inadequate, and that Brandeis
in his opening argument to the Inter
state Commerce Commission conceded
that such return was inconsistent with
the prosperity of the railroads and the
welfare of the people.
Il was simply dumbfounded,' said
Thorne in testifying concerning the
incident.

TO TRY CENTRAL
AMERICAN PALM
AROUND PALACE

Plans OF the Outdoor Circle for the
Identification of the Civic Center are
beginning to be realized. Convict Ia
borers this morning began removing
the row of silk oaks along the iron
fence Of the capitol grounds on Ho-
tel street and digging holes for the
planting of other trees. Some 30 or
40 "attanea cahune." a Central
American palm, are to be planted in
their stead. There are but two or
three OF this variety oil palm in Ho-
nolulu despite the fact that it is re-
puted to be one of the most beauti-
ful of that species of tree. I'VE plan
to make of the civic center wonder
ful tropic park, with the most beau.
tiiul specimens of tropical vegetation
that we can find" said Mrs. +. j..
Lowrey, president of the circle, this
morning.
I'VE imported number OF sealing
wax palms from Singapore, OF which
but one survived the voyage. We
may get more and plant them about
the executive grounds. The seaiing
wax palm stanos ABOVE other palms
as the American Beauty rose stands
ABOVE other roses. 4 here is none in
the islands now, l. beIieve, but once
they are seen their cultivation Tor
decorative purposes is sure to grow"
A number or flowerlng shrubs nave
been imported from the Congo and
wili be paced in Capitol park as soon
as the weather is propitious. Two Of
them will be presented to the Col
lege Of Hawaii &ass
David Haughs of the Territorial Ex-
Leriment Station, and ]. F. Rock of
the College of Hawaii are, assisting
the Outdoor Circle in their plans.

STOCKS SOAR AS
CERTAINTY OF
TARIFF GROWS
Cuban Shipments Fail to Pile
Up, and Good Prices for
Raws Seem Assured

THE top blew on" to quote a slang
phrase Of the street" and this morn
ing al stocks listed locally on change
made substantial advances, many gain
ing more than 81 per share under
heavy buying, and q showing of re-
luctance to take profits.
Yesterdays drop in the price Of raw
sugar at New York had no bearish ef-
feet on the stocks here, for 1t is con-
sidered merely q temporary setback.
Confidence In beneficial protective &C
tion on the tariR is becoming so firm
that more and more investors are
drifting into the market and more and
). more spectators. too. That is the ex-
planation Of most of the local brokers
for the rise which has been notice
ably under way the last few days.
Coupled with the certainty of bene-
fetal tariff legislation by Congress, is
the fact that the Entente Allies are
buying In ever larger quantities In
the United states and Cuba, and there
by absorbing the surplus sugar crop
from Cuba, which threatened for a
time to depress prices So large are
the European orders that high prices
are considered assured for months to
come
. This Inorning Olaa was again the
market feature, and touched $14 q
share, jump Of So over yesterdays
close. Other issues which advanced
notably, and the gains made, are: Nc
Bryde, 1-2; Oahu Sugar, l IA; Eva,
Ia; Waialua, "a; Pioneer. 1-2; Ono
mea, "a, and Honokaa, 3-4.
One feature probably back Of many
speculative orders is the possibility,
so far only dealt with in street COS
sip, that once Congress passes legis-
lation retaining the sugar tariff some
of the sugar companies may declare
big special dividends from the huge
surplus funds now carried. Surpluses
ranging from $500, coo to 81 ,150, 900 are
known to be on hand by some of the
companies, and IL is rumored that
these surplus earnings in some cases
may reach the shareholders once the
industry is certain of protection
again.
An interesting jump of stock wide
ly held locally, but not listed on
change here, is that made by Engels
Copper. On Monday it was selling at
$l.55. and today IL changed hands at
81. Early dividend payments are
looked for.

Poultry Notes.

1t never pays to try to save
money on the equipment or food
bought for rearing little chicks.
They require the best if they are
to live and develop into the most
profitable fowls.
Never take the chicks out of
the incubator as soon as they are
Matched, but let them stay in the
nursery under the egg tray for
"a hours and get we'll dried off,
able to run around and strong.
In damp seasons there is likely
to be more moldy and musty ma
terial which hens and chickens
can get hold of and an effort
should be made to prevent their
getting such material because it
will cause canker in many cases.
When chicks are first placed in
a brooder they should be kept
under the hover most of the time
fir the first day so that they will
not become chilled and so that
they will get accustomed to 60
ing under the hover for warmth.
If the wings of little chicks
grow too fast and hang down,
they will require too much of the
strength of the chicks to carry
them around and the big heavy
feathers should be cut off close
to the wing.
Feed only what chicks will eat
up quickly so that they will be
anxious for next feed. Provide
plenty of green succulent food.
Sprouted oats, lettuce, rape,
mangels, beets and cabbage are
good green foods. They are as
necessary for chicks as for lay
ing hens.
When each brood of chicks is
Matched it should not be placed
in cOops or breeders until the
coops and breeders have been
thoroughly cleaned an disinfect-
ed with some good liquid disin-
fectant. if they have ever been
used before.

Presidential Year and Business.

idential year has invariably been
year of business depression and
business uncertainty, until this
year. The Presidential election
is less than four months away
and instead of their being bus
mess depression there is more
prosperity and hopefulness than
has characterized any previous
year of President Wilson's term.
There is, of course, uncertainty
as to the result. AS it is impos-
sible to conjecture what will hap
| pen in the next three months so
it would be utterly futile and
foolish to undertake to fore
shadow results.
With this condition of politics
how are we able to account for a
condition of business prosperity
which has never before existed in
the Presidential year? We be-
lieve it can be answered in the
splendid banking system that
President Wilson and a Dem
ocratic Congress has given to
the country. Before this system
was established Wall Street DOM
mated the finances of the coun-
try and as the candidate for
President which the Street did
not want to in appeared to be
likely to succeed they depressed
the markets in order to brighten
the people away from his sup
port. Two or three times in our
recollection they have brought
the country to the verge of a
panic in the accomplishment of
influencing the election. Wall
Street has been shorn of this
power and influence by the re-
gional bank. There is no longer
one center of money in the Unit
ed States, but twelve, and they
are all under the control of the
government and not the spec
ulators and the gamblers on the
market. Prosperity is not check.
ed and investments are not in
terrupted because the people
know that under the Wilson
banking system there can be no
financial panic. Men in all parts
of the United States engaged in
all industrial and commercial
pursuits know that they can get
all the money they need to oper-
ate on according to their finap-
cial responsibility. This it is
that makes the first Presidential
election in fifty years one of I'm
interrupted prosperity and not
one of depression and uncertain
~. AS Sampson was shorn of
his strength with his hair SO
Wall street has been robbed OF
the power to control politics with
and through the markets. The
business world has Woodrow
Wilson to thank for this and il
is the very best reason in the
world why the industrial anG
business people should vote fol
his reelection. -Elizabethtowr
