There are $3.50 motor vehicles reg,

distributor at Honolulu. OF this NUM-
Der 1855 are registered on the island
Of Oahu, 500 on Maui, 6S6 of Kauai
and 1900 on Hawaii, says the San Jose
Mercury Herald. These numbers re-
present an investment of $3.50 900.

Hawaii and that the number Of ma.

During the month of March, 1917,
there were PIP automobiles imported
and a valuation of $2O4, 400 against III
machines during the same month the
year previous at a total valuation OF
$153,S42
Another startling increase shown in
the figures is in the nine months end.
ing March, 1915, and in the nine
months ending March, 1917. In 1915
there were 662 automobiles imported
at a valuation of $750,748 against the
1917 importation of 1861 cars at the
valuation of $1.411,37S. This is an
increase Of 799 machines, an increase
in valuation of $GG0,630.
Automobile parts except motors and
tires to the value of $39, $40 were re-
ceived in Honolulu during March. 1917
against similar shipments in 1915 val

On our arrival at seattle, Mr.. T.. n.
Lewis looked up some Of his friends
Mr., and Mrs. DeJarlais-and with
them acting as our guides ONT. Dollar
lais in one machine and his wife in
the otherl we sailed forth to see the
sights of Seattle, and were piloted
around the cleanest city we had ye:
visited-beautiful concrete and brick
roads. Certainly nothing is half done
In Seattle we visited three large
parks, any one Of them as large as the
entire Kapiolani park, and everything
kept in fine condition. Arrived back
at the hotel little after sunset
SIS p. m. After dinner we attended
one of the theaters; two OF the acts
were along Hawaiian lines, and they
were the only acts Of the show that
were recalled.
The next day occurred the opening
Of the new canal between Lake Wash
ington and Lake Union, which the
people of Seattle have been contem-
plating for over a century, and be-
lieve that half of Seattie's population
was out. Autos and street cars were
loaded, and people by the thousands
walking; boats Of every size and de-
scription were in line, and here is
where we did our first advertising OF
| the islands, passing out the Aloha
cards from the promotion committee.
We came very near losing one OF
our party while in Seattle. While Mr.
drove up In her machine: said she
had noticed our pennants, and won.
dered if she could follow our party as
far as Denver, asking Mr.. Lewis II our
party were all men, but when she
was told there were several ladies in
the party she seemed somewhat disap.

that Frank was unattached, she was
willing that he move right over in her
machine; gave him her telephone
number, and asked him to ring her VI
the next morning, but for some reason
or other, he did not do so.
Just before leaving Seattle Mr.. De
Jarlais took US up through the L. c
Smith building, forty-two stories high.
It certainly was a grand view, and
we were able to look down on the
people Of Seattle.
While in that city (Seattle) we get
our first view Of their labor troubles

the laundries were out on strike, and

Along the road from Seattle to
Tacoma we passed our first wheat and
oat fields, and the dairy herds were
larger than anything we had yet seen,
being from fifty to eighty fine head
instead of from fifteen to forty head
as in Canada and around Everett.

HAWAH'S INVESTMENT in
AUTOS EXCEEDS $4,000, 900

$4,000 for 1916, reaching 1921, SOS
for the nine months ending March,
1917.
In March, 1917, there were $93,339
worth Of automobile tires received in
Hawaii against $4,000 worth in
March, 1915. Gasoline also shows an
increase. In .'Iarch, 1915, gasoline
with a valuation of $4,000 was i'm.
ported against a valuation of $50, 1872
in March, 1917.
Automobile manufacturers, accord
ing to Sullivan, have just recently
realized the importance Of Hawaii az
field for automobiles. AS evidence
Of this, Honolulu has been visited by
more representatives Of motor car
industry this year than all other years
combined. The majority Of represen-
tatives were not only satisfied with
the investigation Of the prospects on
Oahu, but visited the other islands,
where the motor situation was also
thoroughly studied.
Realizing that permanent roads
must be built AMI maintained where
there is extensive motor travel, HR
wall has set aside this year $2,500, 900
which will be used in the construction
Of belt roads and main highways. OF
this sum, $1,197,000 was appropriated
by the legislature. In addition 70 the
territorial sum, approximately $780,
600 will be expended by four counties
Of Hawaii in permanent road improve
rnents, separate from the main high
way construction. OF the sum Of 81
1877 900 appropriated by the 1egisl&
ture, the city and county Of HonoIuls

way to oil a spring, however, is to re,
move it and take it apart, scraping or

DAMAGE FROM DIRT

The dirt collected on the outside
of the engine is not merely an eye,
sore. 1t gets into the bearings and
causes loss of power and wear. This
shortens the life of the engine. If
the dirt is removed regularly this
wear is prevented and the car will
last longer.

comedy staged in the Alakea house
on Alakea street yesterday evening
that might have been a tragedy If a

Oda is an old ia ranese VINO has liv-
ed at the Alakea house for years, doing
odd jobs abou. the city and carrying
himself generally IN a pleasing and
in0ffensive manner. Crazed by drink
he got out the gun and declared his
intention of shooting up all residents
OF the house in general and D. J. Win

was also frightened by the threat.
This morning he vas arraigned in
police court On two charges, one OF
using threatening language and the
other Of going extensively armed. The
latter case was stricken and on the
former he was bound over under a

months. If he fails to post this he will
go to prison for two months. Police.

FINDS FLAW IN
ABATEMENTLAW
+. OF CALIFORNIA
Proposed Law for Hawaii Not
Subject to Criticism That
is Voiced in Court

( Defects in the California abatement
| by Injunction law have been found by
the superior court sitting at San Fran
cisco. The provision which the court
finds TO be Unconstitutional, however,
differs materially from the bill now
pending in the territorial legislature
and the provisions of that proposed
law would not be open to the same
objection.
- The California abatement law pro-
Yided that any citizen might Oh his or
her own mention and in His or her
Cwn name begin proceedings for the
abatement of a nuisance and for in
junction restraining its continuace
and asking that certain penalties. in
GLIDING the closing Of the premises
for a year. be inforced.
Grants Too Much Power
According to the newspaper &C
counts, the court holds that the Cali
fCrnia legislature exceeded it's power
when it gave to an individual citizen,
acting in the capacity of a citizen
alone, the right to maintain an action
when penalty Is attached.
Part of the decision says:
From the earliest times, down to
the date Of these redlight abatement
acts, an action to abate house of i'll
fame was a public action and not a
private action. and must be maintain
ed, if at all, by the state, unless the
plaintiff pleaded some special injury.
A private person might not claim as
his cause of action that which was q
cause of action in favor of the whole
public In the present case the plain
tiff does not allege any special injury
to himself" >>-.e'
After referring to the penalties
which the plaintiff asks, be imposed in
abating the alleged nuisance, the
court says 49,
Relief Public, Not Private
1T will be noted that such a re-
quest constitutes no private relief,
but does constitute public relief and
private punishment. But public re-
lief and private punisbments' are the
subjects of prosecutions, and not 9TH
erwise. At common law there was
no private remedy for anything but a
private wrong. This rule has never
been changed in California by statute
or constitutional provision" -: -
The proposed law which the terrific
rial senate now has unGer considera-
tion differs materially from the Cali
fornia law in that in the proposed law
the individual citizen does not bring
the action ia abatement But" calls the
matter to the attention of the official
who is to prosecute, the attorney.gen-
eral or the city and county attorney
