WAR ACTIVITIES
IN WASHINGTON


Washington, d. c., Nov. 20
The population of the City of
Washington has increased at
least $4,000 since the war began.
l; is natural that the capital city,
the center of governmental act
Nities, should show this marked
effect of the most extensive pre-
lparatiOn for war ever undertaken
| by any country. A steady stream
IOf new appOintees TO the great
civilian army pOurs into the city;
the streets hum with activity;
everybody is busy and earnest;
Ion every hand are the sure signs
of a competent organization with
a fixed purpose.
/ At the request of the United
States Civil Service Commission
! the Washington Chamber of
Commerce has undertaken the
work of directing to suitable
lroOming and boarding places the
new arrivals who are not ac-
, quainted in the city. Hundreds
of desirable rooms, with or with
out board, are listed, and at very
moderate rates. Application for
accommodation can be made by
new appOintees through CORES
pondence before leaving home or
by calling at the Office of the
Washington Chamber of Com
Imerce, No. GIL Twelfth Street, N.
w, upon their arrival in Wash
ington.
Stenographers and typwriters
make up a large part of the aid
ditions to the force at Washing
ton. Thousands have been ap-
pointed and thousands more are
needed. Ship craftsmen for the
Navy Department., mechanical
craftsmen for the service gener-
ally, and statist1cians and what
are known as clerks qualified in
business administration, clerks
qualified in statistics or account
ing, index and catalogue clerks,
balance of stores clerks, anC
schedule clerks for the Ordnance
Department of the Army are also
in great demand. Representa-
tives Of tie United States Civi
Service Commission at the pos
Offices in all cities are furnishing
| detailed information concerning
positions at Washington i'm whicl
workers are needed.

and complete estimates OF the
fuel needs of the northern Idaho
counties.
He reported that in Benewah
county, SO far as could be learned,
but two coal dealers are in bust
ness, and their business is strict
ly limited. The same thing is
true to some extent in Boundary,
Bonner, Kootenai and Latah
counties, and to a similar degree
in Shoshone, Clearwater and
IDAHO counties.
Reports received by the state
fuel administrator indicate that
the operation of the priority or
der in regard to coal cars and
western movement of coal has
resulted in speeding up produc-
ton but has not increased the
amount of coal being received in
| Idaho.

just closed. Only few copies
of the questionable have been
issued, but the adjutant general
urges members of boards to be-
come as familiar as possible with
their contents, to save telegraph
ic tolls and clerk hire.
The work of successfully ac-
complishing the second draft is
going to be more difficult than the
first, it is belived. because of the
radical changes mace IN the form.
All county boards, however, have
shown a desire to heartily CO.
Operate.

KLAMATH FALLS, Oregon, July
l6.-Fire that is believed to be OF In.
cendiary origin last night destroyed
the largest flour mill here with loss
of S150,00O and large quantities OF
wheat and flour. Industrial Workers
of the World are suspected as being
responsible for the alleged crime and
the authorities here have asked aid
from the state government in preserv-
ing order and for a full and COM

In response to the requests that
were telegraphed to him the governor
has ordered that posses be raised and
If not sufficient here they will be sent
from other cities Of the state.
Industrial Workers of the World
have been active in this section of the
state for several days past and the
events during that time have led to
the direction of suspicion OF incen-

CITY UPHOLDS
COMPENSATION
ACT DECISION
Attorneys Office Advises With
holding PaIment of Money
Until Point is Settled

In answer to request from the
board Of supervisors as to how the
decision Of Judge c. W. Ashford that
the workmen's compensation act is
unconstitutional. affects the city and
county, Charles Davis, deputy city
attorney, has :endered the opinion
that the decision stands and, therefore
the best procedure would be to appro-
pirate the necessary amounts to pay
the persons now being paid under the
act but withhold the money until sucl
time as the supreme court shall pass
on the question.
In summing up his opinion Davis
says:
Further. as to filing notice OF
injury and other formal matters o;
procedure under the workmens coin
pensation act, the office of the indus
trial accident board will be open for
such business, and no harm can be
done by taking these steps until the
constitutionaltty Of the act shall be
finally deter mined. Thus should the
act finally be declared to be constitG-
tiOnal the machinery of the act may
then be put in operation once morI
and orders can be made and payments
made in accordance with its terms.
I'VE regret very much that we are
unable to suggest any method by
which persons entitled to paymen,
under this act can receive the sums
they are entitled to and at the same
time the city and county of Honolulu
be adequately protected in making
such payments"

armed principally with shotguns,

The Americans issued an altimatum

LIQUOR BOARD
VISITS STORES
OF Wholesalers
Decides Not to Order Partition
ing OFF of Liquor Stock
From Other Wares

In order to determine if wholesale
liquor dealers should be required to
partition their liquor stores into rooms
separate from where other merchan
disc lines are carried in conjunctloL
with the liquor stock, the Oahu Liquor
Commission made an investigation OF
several Oriental liquor places FRI
day afternoon, following the regular
meeting. The commission was accom-
panied on the inspection trip by LII
cense Inspectors W. H. Hutton and
Jack Roberts.
The suggestion had been made to
the commissioners that the partitions
should be required on account OF the
rule requiring wholesalers to close at
5 o'clock Several stores carry stocks
of groceries or other lines and keep
open after 5 O'Clock for the sale OF
goods besides liquor. 1t was urged
that this gave these wholesalers ar
opportunity to violate the closing rule
with slight danger of detection.
The inspection made by the commits
sioners revealed the fact that there
were only three such dealers. One Of
them, Wing Wo Tai. is in temporary
quarters and soon will remove to ?
new location, where the liquor store
will be separated from the other busl
ness Of the establishment. In anoth
er place the proprietor screens his IL
quor stock with a curtain after 5
o'clock And in the third wholesale
store there is already a partition sep
arating the liquor stock from the
other lines.
AS a result Of the investigation the
commissioners decided it was unnec-
essary to require the partitions.
At the regular meeting the commits
sioners Investigated charges prefer
red against two saloon keepers. The
charge against one was not deemed
of sufficient importance to require
further investigation, but an attempt
will be made to secure corroborative
evidence Of the second charge.
Another man was put on the tabu
list at the request of his family.

annual election Of the Outrigger Ca
noe Club, to be held Wednesday af-
ternoon, July Is, is likely to be ex-

Outriggers' nominating committee. on
which the other members are John
Guild and E. T. Chase, reads as fol-
lows:
Captain Center of the Outrigger

exceeds the largest total vote of any
previous meeting of the club. The
younger element are making cam
paign for it, and their fathers and
older friends are backing them to the
limit"
Recently the nominating commit
tee placed on the bulletin board at
the clubhouse at Waikiki its nominal
tons for directors and officers. In
each instance the committee has re-
nominated the old officers, with the
exception of e. NJ. Ehrhorn, present
chairman of the house committee;
Warren Dease, present chairman of
the order and entertainment commit
tee; and J. Ashman Beaver, present
secretary, none Of whom, the commit
tee reports, will be able to accept
denomination for the coming year.
In addition to renominating the
old officers, the committee has named
a second man for each position, so
voters can have the choice of two
candidates. The nominations are as
follows:
For president. H. B. Campbell or
DR.. Arthur L. Dean; for vice-presi-
dent, Guy H. Buttolph or L. C. How
land; for secretary, P. H. Deverill

1t is reported, however, that in two
instances the alternate candidate has
withdrawn in favor of the other mali
named for the office and vice versa,
Asch is said to have withdrawn in
favor of Thompson for treasurer, and
Ouderkirk in favor of Deverill for
secretary.
Two opposing States" are said to
be in the field, one drawn up by
Alexander Hume Ford and his sup
porters and the other by J. Ashman
Beaver and his friends Ford is known
to have been securing proxies for his
