 LONDON, Mar. 14.- American steamship Algonquin has been torpedoed by German suhmar- inc. The crew was saved.
 The Algonquin was torcedoed at six o'clock in the mornine of March 12. The submarine refus- ed assistance, according to the report of the consul at Plymouth. Twenty-seven men have been land ed.
 The submarine opened fire on the Algonquin from a distance of 4,C00 yards, firing about 20 shells. These were not sufficient to sink the steamer. so she was boarded by men from the submarine who placed four bombs and the Algon- quin was then blown up. The crew was given plenty of time to leave the steamer.

INTRODUCES
RESOLUTION FAV0RlNG
CHINESE ADMISSION

Representative H L. Holstein took
the floor in the house of representa-
tives this morning and introduced a
resolution memoraliZing congress to
pass legislation to permit a certain
number OF alien Chinese, presumably
about 10000, to enter Hawaii to aid in
the cultivation of idle agricultural
lands. The resolution carries the pro-
vision that such Chinese be not per-
mitted to proceed to the mainland
The resolution points out that at
present in Hawaii there are large
areas, of land lying idle that might be
used for the cultivation of rice and
ether products. .s.
IF these lands are titled" said
Speaker Holstein, "our food supply
will be materially added to and the
taxable value of the land will in
crease" -. a.
He went on to say that certain men,
bers of congress who visited here two
years ago were agreeable to having a
certain number of Chinese brought
into the territory. As to the question
OF what the labor unions on the main.
land would have to say regarding the
movement the speaker pointed out
that the Chinese are to be brought
here for agricultural purposes only.
Representative Lyman urged that
careful consideration be given the
measure, pointing out that the lands
which are now idle should be turned
over to local residents seeking il.
The resolution was referred to the
agricultural committee.

SENATORS GENERALLYPLEASED
ON VISIT TOlNDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

to see the cottage system tried out.
Senator Hind was not too favorably
impressed by the general appearance
of things at the school, though he says
he would not venture too much criti-
cism without further study of it.
Hind Has Criticism - +.
Hind says more emphasis should be
given to scholastic work, and he would
like to see woman kept in the school
as matron. He believes her Influence
would be good toward building up the
characters of the boys. .=@
Il saw some boys with SCARED
hacks yesterday" he says, "who had
undoubtedly been flogged harder than
they should have been, The skins on
their backs had actually been cut by
the blows as was shown by scabs still
upon them" .,. .
Robinson Also Sees Faults .
Robinson also spoke of the appear
ance of these boys-marks he said
which showed horrible floggings. Rob-
inson is not entirely of the spare the
rod" disposition but he believes some of
the samples he saw yesterday spoke
of too heavy punishment. He wants
to see more money given to the school,
however, and favors more work to-
ward manual training, such as has
been started there in the machine
shop. ~ E

SENATE IN favor
NEUTRAL BOARD

Fayoring that portion Of house bill
225 which requires that salaried Off
GERS of the territory or of any political
subdivision Of it shall not serve on the
public utilities commission, the senate
judiciary committee this afternoon
rendered its report to the upper house.
Under the present law" says the
report, no person owning stocks or
bonds in any public utility corpora
ton or having any interest deriving
any remuneration from any public
Utility shall be appointed or employed
by the commission.
"On the other hand. salaried officers
of the territory or of any political sub
division may be members Of the com.
mission. In other words. though one
party in interest is specifically en-
joined from having representation on
the commission, the other party in in
trrest is allowed representation.
The committee feels that the com
mission should be an independent one
composed of persons having mo in
tereSt in the corporation or govern
ment. This is the purpose sought for
in the bill"
Inc committee favored salary OF
81 day for each day of service rather
than a no-salary basis as is proposed
by the bill from the house
Other bills favored by the committee
are as follows: Senate bill SO, provid-
ing that persons convicted of mis-
demeanors may be assigned work by
supervisors if such persons desire it;
house bill 5, relating to grapes grown
in Hawaii; house bill POI, giving power

More Money Needed is Agreed
and Criticism is Voiced
BY Some Visitors "

That the boys industrial school at
Waialee is in need of more money, and
that appropriations for this should be
given earnest consideration by the
present legislature is the belief Of sen.
ators who visited the institution yes
terday.
Those who mace the trip expressed
regret today that not all the senate
could have been present in body
From the senate those who yester-
day visited Waialee were Senators
Desha, Makekau, Kamauoha, Mikaeie.
Hind, Robinson and Cooke. Severai
representatives and number Of sen.
ate. clerks were also in the party.
Tire troubles caused one automobile
load much delay so that the others had
started back to town Before this party
arrived at the school. "
More Scholastic Work Needed
Practically all Of the senators inter-
view today are of the opinion that
more scholastic work should be intro
duced at the school and that Superin-
tendent Anderson's plan TO build cot
tages for the boys to live in rather
than the present dormitory should be
followed out.
Senator Cooke believes that at least
two cottages should be erected at
once. These would cost $4,000 each,
"By using these" says Senator
Cooke, the boys can be distributed
according to age, which will be a big
help. The honor system can then be-
gin to work out more effectively.
Dress Boys Better
Senator Makekau says that from HIS
STUDY Of the school yesterday he is
convinced that more money is needed.
A good many of the uniforms were
ragged and ill-fitting, he says, which
fault could be remedied by more
money from which TO supply.
Senator Desha notes considerable

school two years ago. though he says
there Is still room for gain He wants

Still INQUIRIES
ON GUARD MEALS

If the members of the National
Guard who were fed at the armOry
during recent heavy recruiting season
were neither indigents or immigrants,
by what authority was money spent
from immigration appropriations for
these meals?
This question is asked in a IeSOlI-
ton introduced in the house of repre-
sentatives today by Speaker Fl. l..
Holstein. who points out that, although
the house had several times asked for
this information, it has not yet been
Forthcoming. The board of immig7a-
ton recently wrote to the house say
ing it could not answer the question.
The resolution provides that the gov
ernor and immigration commissioner
Immediately report to the house
whether the guardsmen who were
given meals at the armory we're in
digents under the immigration board
and also if they were immigrants.
Il think we should have this in
formation before we pass upon certain
appropriation bills" said HOlstein in
defense of his measure. ''lf the gov
ernor takes money out of the immigra-
ton fund and uses it for making
boarding house out of the National
Guard armory, think We are entitled
to know about it before proceeding
further If the Hawaiian guardsmen
were indigents-and | have never
heard of any Hawaiian indigents-let
Us be informed of it; and if they We're
immigrants-wel. can't see how they
possibly could be immigrants"
The house adopted the resolution.
