AN EMERGENCY MEASURE.

Representative Andrews bill appropriating $15,-
900 to divert the dirty stream flowing over Waikiki
beach between the Moana and the Outrigger Club is
an emergency measure. 1t is designed to furnish
temporary relief from this nuisance which is defn.
itey njuring one of Honolulus most famous tourist
attractions.
Governor Pinkham has summed up years of work
ON the Waikiki reclamation scheme with a compre-
hensve plan of waterway, fill, streets and public
utilities which will be presented to the legislature
in week or ten days.
The harbor board proposes a beach boulevard to
cost something like $4,000
Both plans can he combined--in fact, the governor
now has combined then-7into. "a splendid project,
but it is project which is almost certain to take at
least three years for accomplishment Unless it
moves much faster than most public work Of the
Sort i will take from five to ten years.
IL the mean time, the sewerstream will grow
steadily more offensive steadily more Of a positive
injury % Waikiki beach.
Several plans for diverting the stream have been
workedout. At least two seem practicable from an
engineering standpoint. The improvement can be
made inafew weeks twill not interfere with any
larger reclamation scheme, and as quick action is
exceedingly desirably, the appropriation should be
made by this legislature.

The declaration shows that in some important
points the chamber has met the wishes of legislators
of the Oahu delegation. In all points where vital
principles would not be sacrificed. the chamber has
endeayored to meet the wishes Of other sections Of
the community.
On certain vital features the chamber believes
compromise means surrender TO political evil, and
does not propose thus TO capitulate.
The chambers amendments now proposed are

the ideal but they still retain the important fea-
lures of centering responsibility on the policy

and of shortening the ballot.
Upon this declaration OF principle not only mem,

orally can take their stand
1t is imperative they should take their stand side
by side shoulder to shoulder squarely in the fight
against the reactionary forces attempting to put

It is imperative that civic and business organiza

THE LIMIT.

The limit of .watchfnI waiting has been reached
in Washington policy toward the German ships in
Honolulu harbor
Ii is now fairly well-known that the administra
ton hesitation to deal drstically with the German
menace has held up the harbOr board has prevented
armed guards from being placed on the steamers
has barred Them from being taken to the one logi-
cal and available anchOrage--Fearl Harbor.
Washington evidently has adopted the attitude,
don't do anything which Germany protest
And so these vessels remain Il known peril to the
safety Of this port. ~# "
Germany sinks American ships. bearing Amer
lean citizens. U-boats range the war-zone striking
without warning. without discrimination, without
mercy Hospital and relief ships are sent down.
Pledges to America are torn up with the other
scraps of paper the Teutons have scornfuy cast to
the winds.
And Honolulu appears powerless to protect itself.
Why? Because Washington for two weeks would
neither take charge of the Germans through her fed
eral forces here nor sanction territorial authorities
i'm doing so. =..
The report of an investigating committee to the
harbor board Yesterday showed preparations which
point suspciOusly to plan to sink the Pommern.
This ought to answer conclusively the claim that
Federal Inspector Heeney made false statement in
reporting, some time ago, that the Pommern had
apparently been made ready for sinking.
And this is only one of chain of incidents to
show the absolute folly of trusting any assurance
but the assurance of the vessels placed in anchor
age away from local wharves, and guarded by an
armed guard
The legislature is entirely justified in such con-
certed action will bring squarely before Washing
ton the ACCESSIBILITY of sending these steamers to the
lochs of Pearl Harbor and keeping them there under
guard.
The overwhelming majority of Americans in this
city are convinced it is verging criminal negli-
gence to tolerate this menace in the local harbor.
.Gerinany's pledged word has proved worthless.
Her Uboats are running amuck at sea. Her cease
less plots and ntrigues carried to every corner
Of the earth. Her subjects ask no questions but
obey orders. Her advocates have no scruples to
stand i'm the way of obeying orders likewise.
We know that the German ship officers were pre-
pared months age to disable their vessels. We sus
pect that in case of declaration of war they will
60 much further We fear war may come at any
And yet the menace is tolerated.
If all this were done by any local official, he
would be condemned as an incredible bungler.

President Joe P Mudd of the Commit nity club addressed the Birmingham Equal Suffrage association yesterday in the interests of the food preparedness campaign and was most enthusiastically received The women present expressed great interest in the campaign, and vol unteered their aid in any way that the committee could use them in the cam paign.
 Secretary T. P. Hay, Jr., Is writing let ters to a number of manufacturers of tin cans, in an effort to secure data as to prices, and as to where he can locate available stocks of tin cans. This infor- mation is to be used in the work of pre- pairing satisfactory information for the producer who wants to can perishable foods and does not know where to se- cure the cans.
 Mir Hay Is also in communication with the Stanton Glass Jar company of Buff falo, N. Y, hoping to have them locate a plant in Birmingham for the manufac- ture of glass jars.

MOTION TO QUASH
 VENIRE IS PASSED
Matter Goes Over Until Next Week
 on Decision of Judge Fort

Motion to quash the venire for the week on the grounds that discrimination has been used when the juries were or ganized by Judge John c. Pugh Monday was made in the criminal division of the circuit court before Judge W. E. Fort. The motion was made when the case of Mary Davenport white charged with shoplifting, was called. Hugh Ellis and John Abbott, attorneys for the defend- ant, made the motion, but Judge Fort did not rule on the question but passed the case until next Monday to save any possibility of disturbing the opera tions of the several divisions of the court.
 The objections to the venire were then withdrawn and the case will be tried this morning. The defendant was tried before Judge Romaine Boyd a short time ago on the above charge and mistrial re- suited.
 John Irving, negro, found guilty of burglary by a jury in the first division of the criminal court, agreed to be sen fenced yesterday in order to begin his term of imprisonment at once, and Judge Fort imposed sentence of two years on the county roads. Albert Fuller, who was indicted jointely with Irving for the same offense, plead guilty to the charge and was given the same sentence.
