STEAMER BUMPS
P|LE;DELAYED
in DEPARTURE

As an Australian steamer in port
was backing out from Pier this morn
ing her propeller. which was going full
speed astern, struck a 12-foot pile and
caused the steamer TO be delayed IN
her departure from Honolulu.
An Inter-Island diver was sent down
10 investigate the damage to the pro
psller. and he reported that it appear
ed only to be scratched. Later today
a survey is to be made OF the engines
OF the steamer by the federal inspec-
tor OF hulls and boilers TO ascertain
II the collision with the pile caused
any other damage.
1t is presumed the pile was one
which had become sunk in the mud
OF the harbor and which was sucked
up by the revolutions OF the pro-
peller.
This is the second time the sailing
of the vessel has been delayed, as the
steamer had to wait in port all day
yesterday while a cook was found. The
former cook Of the ship vas kicked
in the jaw on Christmas Eve and so
seriously injured he had to be taken
to the hospital.

Property holders of eleven lots on
Beretania street between Alapai and
Punahou streets are delinquent in the
payment of the installments due on
the assessments for Improvements
and it is presumed that they are with
holding their money until such time
as the L. L. McCandless injunction

Candless property Is situated on Bere-

lots which are delinquent.
On the eleven lots little more than
$4,000 is delinquent and the owners
are evidently working under the as

they are being penalized l per cent
per month for the monthly install

explanation given this morning by the

FOR ECONOMY

Two important steps toward more
complete organization have been taken
by the woman's committee Of the ter
ritorial food commission. One is the
organization Of the Few-Mlnute
Speakers" and the other plan to ap-
point special representatives in each
district in Honolulu and on Oahu TO
carry out the woman's committee gen
eral program.
The Few Minute Speakers" will be
an organization similar in purpose TO
the -Four. Minute Speakers" OF Homo
lulu, and II is planned to have a wom-
an deliver a few-minute talk at every
meeting Of every woman's organlZa'
ton of Honolulu. Mrs. a. {. Alex

carried on by the committee. The fol.

served as distributor Of Fatherland

"Kelle apparently has been guilty OF
extremely ill-advised and loose talk,
Postmaster MacAdam said. "Consid'
ering this alone his dismissal would
be warranted. He was subscriber to
Fatherland at one time, but has stop
ped this paper for some months. He
states he has not been distributor OF

cans Of German birth, in my opinion,
should be treasured in American COM
munities, not nounded out OF their

Here is the part of Kelle's written
statement replying to the charge OF
disloyalty:
"a am In this country about IS
years and don't know anything
about Germany and In 1900 be-
came a United States citizen Of
my own free choice, have taken
the oath to defend the Stars and
Stripes with my life and ! am

last drop Of blood to defend the

This rings true clear to its unique
l challenge the Four

Adam.
,"Kelie's statement shows further
that he believes an early peace will
come because the German people will
form a democratic government. 1t
was upon a prediction made by him of
peace this winter that the charges
of giving utterance to disloyal state
ment was based. He insists he meant
that the German people will bring
about a change Of their government
that will enable President Wilson to
negotiate peace with them.

at the Honolulu post office since 1901,
and has rendered the government ef-
