A REPLY ON kAWAIAHAo
49, CHURCH

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: The correction of Mrs. Mary T.
Wilcox in your yesterday afternoon s
paper in regard to my statement in
the Advertiser of February IL, relat-
ing to the troubles that have taken
place in the old Kawaiahao church, |
think 1T is too late ...
She has said whole lot of things
uncaIled for, but not q word about the
pastors ordering G. Naukana, the ex-
hibitor of a special police commits
sion, to arrest the leader of the
prayer meeting. Did you forget that?
Is it because the reason that you for
got is on account that MT Parker him.
self called on Mr.. Julius Asch, the
deputy sheriff, for commission and
badge for Naukana last Friday, Feb
ruary 8? Was it not matter of fact
that he and you know that he was 60
ing to raise riot in prayer meeting
of peaceful members of the Kawaia-
hao church, is the reason of his pre-
pairing a police protection ahead of
time so as to help him carry out his
idea of raising riot? .-
I'm sorry that lady, whom / take
to heart Christian in every way, has
come cut and contradict my state
ments, of which l emphatically admit
that only heard of what was done on
that night, and instead of your telling
the truth, so let me speak the truth for
you, and here 1t is: -
Mr.. Parker ordered Naukana to ar
rest Mrs. Alice Kahokuoluna, and in
stead of arresting he exhibited his
commission and badge. He then
called upon the deacons to come for.
ward il any were present Only one
came forward, S. Kahoohalahala, and
J. K. Nakila, the other deacon present,
stayed back, got "cold feet" Kahoo-
balahala refused to tackle the job OF
removing Mrs. Kahokuoluna.
So you see right here that the pas
tor already prepared for a riot and
Naukana was instructed to carry out
the uncalled for threat, and I do not
know of policeman carrying his com.
mission in his pocket but this particu-
lar one.
AS a member of Kawaiahao church
would like very much to see that
no insult is given to u.s. J.
II you have any corrections for the
above, please correct again.
Yours respectfully,

TURN ABOUT"

Editor StarBulletin.
Sir: Apropos of dimmed headlights
as all adjunct to safety first" ONE
complainant says that the quickest
way to eliminate the menace of glar.
ing, dazzling headlights is that motor
lists who conform to the law should
take the number of. every machine
that sports such headlights and report
the matter to the police, following it
up with repeated complaint if no at
tention is paid to the first.
There Is just about as much logic
in that proposition as there is in a
side of sole leather. With a glaring
headlight in ones eyes one Is very
likely to get the number on the front
end of the offending auto, and as for
getting the number on the rear end
of the machine as it flashes by in
the night-well, just try it once and
see how easy it is. IT.. =

oMINOCs NEWS OF TURKEY.

Ominons news from Alexandria and the OmnOus
lack Of news from ConstantinOpIe indicate that the
fine work of American relief to Syrian and Arme
nian war sufferers may have been interrupted bv
the Turkish military authorities.
The detention of thousand Americans for year
past is mute witness to the administrations policy
of "watchful waiting" in every contingency. Appar
emily government is unable to assure either safe
ty to its citizens in Turkish dOminions or hope of
escape to less barbarous countries.
Even though relations between America and
Turkey have long been strained on account of the
treatment of Armenians, the work of relief under
the American committee has gone steadily forward.

through which aid has been administered to Arme-
ria and other countries of Asia Minor by America.
comes in the news that Armenians in Europe are
using this of conveying relief to their fellow
cOuntrymen.

headquarters Of the American committee for Arme-
Man and Syrian relief at 20 Fifth avenue New York
City, from Nubar Pasha the European representa-
tive of His Holiness Keyork V, Catholics, the su-

who have managed to escape the cruelty of their
Turkish oppressors by flight to Russian Caucasus,

PAYING FOR I. S. POSSESSIONS.

Ii is calculated that the United States has paid
over sos per acre for the Danish West Indies From
this itscan be judged that they we're muehdesirel
pieces OF property. The strategic Importance of the
group (which has comparatively little other value,
is of course conceded aud the most important harbor
OF the islands, that of Charlotte Amalie on the
Island of St Thomas of late years has been mostly
devoted to the nsc of the Hamburg American line,
which has established there one of the finest coaling
stations in the tropical world. This fact, eyncing
the value of the harbor to Germany's principal
goyernment-subsdized steamship line, is thought to
have had much to do with the purchase of the islands
BY the United States.
Territorial possessions truly come high these days
For $150OOO0O- Uncle sam.in 1867 was able to pur-
chase the Territory OF Alaska less than two cents
per acre. AT the end Of the Mexican war, Califor-
mia, Nevada, Colorado and Utah were purchased for
less than three cents the acre. The Philippines,
purchased years later advanced the price of outly-
ING real estate to twenty-seyen cents an acre Not
until the United States got to casting eyes al tro
teal America did property values rise to anything
like the price used to paying for building lots
The canal zone acreage came at the comparatively
high rate of $35.SS, which is oyershadowed by our

HAIKU FARMERS PROPOSE LEGISLATION

While the farm loan act passed by Congress in
1916 does not apply TO the outlying territories of the
United States. it has stimulated interest in Hawaii
the possibilities OF government aid to the agricul
turist That the condition Of the small farmer will
prove the most important question that confronts
our coming Legislature is already manifest.
We have assurances that several legislators in the

the liquidation of mortgages made prior to the pass
ing Of this act and also loans to encourage coOper
tive buying of machinery and other improvements
BY groups of farmers.
No loans shall exceed 60 per cent of the value of
the security offered. The person taking advantage
OF the fund must be a citizen of the United States
and must live on the land or must move there within
three months after the loan is issued. Failure to-
maintain residence on the land six days and six

coed $4,000, nor can one be for less than 500.
Loans FOR less than $1,000 shall be given first con-
sideration, the payments being made on the amorti.

The farm loan board is empowered to that
buildings and equipment are kept in good repair
and that the land is well cared for. The board will
also assist borrowers by securing favorable prices
on material designing suitable buildings for them
and advising in the matter OF livestock.

the first practical plan that has been advanced in
Hawaii for the establishment of citizen farmers on
The soil by making loans from public funds.

in booze should realize it now. Later on, when pro-
hbition does come, they will probably put up the
plea that the government should reimburse them be-
cause their businesses to be suddenly wiped out.
If they have the foresight with which ordinary NOR
tails are endowed, they will begin now to salvage
their property. There will lie no justification six
months or a year from now in any attempt to get
reimbursement because the booze interests are put
