HIL0, Oct. 26.--At the meeting or
the Association of the Engineers OF
Hawaii, which was held on Tuesday
last, Contractor Richard Deming, of
the Hilo breakwater job, addressed
the members on. the subject of the big
artificial reef He stated that he
would come to the end of his contract
at very early date and said that the
sub-base will be completed for a
length of $3.50 feet and the superstruc-
ture for length of $500 feet at that
time. The original estimate of the
United States engineers was for to-
tai length of breakwater of 10000 feet.
or the original amount of money esti-
mated as the cost of this 10000 feet,
there remains 100000 still to be ap-
propriated, stated the speaker. ~
Mr.. Deming gave It is his opinion
that, according to present costs Of
material and operation this amount of
money would hardly complete the
breakwater beyond the 1900 feet sta:
ten, which would be 2100 feet past
the present mark. thus leaving $500
feet to completely end the work.
Mr. DeIning also said that the last
rivers and harbors bill contained an
item of S150,000 for the improvement
of Hilo harbor and that he presumed
it was for the further extension of the
breakwater, but that he had been un-
able to ascertain any further details

AID Club Committees Findings
Bring Out Facts About
"Camp No. 2"

The AID Club committee having
charge of the Investigation Of the ten

of the difficulties that often accom-
pany investigations of this character
The information they have received
has not, in all cases, been fully re-

formation given by the authorities.
This was exemplified in the report
of the committee ON the tenements
credited to Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Richards, and known as Camp No. 2,
in the Kauluwela section of the town.
The committee report states that
Camp No. 2 is owned by Mr.. and Mrs.

The Warning

Once again the commandment of the great army
training camp at American Lake, Washington, has
warned Seattle that unless its Commercialized vice
is cleaned out, he will forbid the thousands of sol
diers at the camp from visiting the city.
In the dispatches 'bootlegging' is mentioned as
one of the kinds of Iawlessness against which
Major-General Greene is taking action, the others
being prostitution and gambling. These dispatches
may give wrong impression as TO the extent OF
illicit guorseling. for the truth is there is much
less of this than of the other lawbreakng. Seattle
is dry" town for all practical purposes, and what
little Bookkeeping goes on is done clandestlney ana
usually stopped, the record of arrests shows
But Seattle has been woefully lax in stopping the
redght traffic. 1t this which first stirred the
military authorities. The war department and the
subordinate officers have determined that our men
in this great war shall be trained under conditions
of physical cleanliness that there shall be vice
districts around the camps; that the shall not
be tempted by the panders and prostitutes which
invariably flock 10 the neighborhoods of camps.
American Lake. which is dozen miles so from
Tacoma is an ideal neighborhood if the civil author
tiles do their part to keep it clean. Tacoma is re-
ported TO have done its part, but Seattle, less than
30 miles away and easily reached by train and cleo
tric ear, has not cleaned itself of the vice traffic
Hence the stern warning that unless Seattle
cleans up, the soldiers will not be allowed to visit
there.
A situation similar to that in the northwest ex-
lists in Honolulu. We have got to clean up this city
morally and physically and keep it clean. Does Ho-
nolulu want the unenyiable reputation that Seattle
is gaining? Does Honolulu want to be exhibited TO
the world as a city which fosters vice in defiance
of the expressed desire and purpose of the war de,
partment?
How long before the civil authorities here will
wake to the danger of iaxity and Incompetence and
take radical action? Must they wait until military
authority is forced to take charge in defense of the
lives and health of American soldiers?

GIVE HIM THE LIMIT.


Last night Korean thug and degenerate who
attempted TO assault Japanese girl servant was

TO be the Oriental who has been terrorizing the

cuarly servant girls 1t is believed also that he is
a sneak thief and burglar
Of his guilt of assault with deadly weapon there
appears TO be no doubt. inasmuch as he was taken
actually in the struggle with his intended victim.
This man should get the limit. If the facts are
as now supposed he ought to GO to prison for life.
Unfortunately it may he impossible to lodge against
him charge sufficiently severe to carry such pun
ishr1ent as the maximum. but he should get exactly
what is coming to hin-and that is the limit. And
with the publicity that will 90 with stern prose
cuton of such malefactOr there will be warning
to other malefactors that the law will deal with
them swiftly and relentlessy.
In two recent cases men who have connection
with the police fo,c" have caught criminals Last
week milkman was responsible for the arrest of
the Korean furniture thief who has been operating
with the most audacious holiness and success Last
night the Korean "Peeping Tom was taken by
