HERE AS
"STUDENT-OFFCER''

Aubrey w. Wynn.Williams, formerly
assistant purser on the Canadian.Aus
tralasian liner Makura, and well known
here, dropped into Gown unexpectedly
yesterday. u ..l.. 7 ~
He is student officer aboard the Brit.
ish collier Waihemo, which'arlived yes
terday from Newcastle, The steamer,
now ow ned by the Union Steamship
Company of New Zealand, was for.
marly the Canada Cape of the Cape
Line Z .'.'.. .. b..
The position of student officer is a
erection of the war, and has been
adopted by great many British steam,
ship lines. The idea, in short, is TO af,
ford the training necessary TO make a
first class deck officer in the mercantile
marine. .. ,.I"...,.
The Canadian. Australasian inc and
nearly every other British line has
had its supply of efficient deck officers
greatly depleted by the. emergencies of
the war, which has called the men to
serv" under the cOlors in various ca,
pacities. .o.r.
In order to replenish the supply Of
deck officers the position of student Of
fcer has been created.

COMMITTEE
PLANS BIG CAMPAIGN

Despite the fact that war clouds are
looming big on the horizon, the pro,
motion committee is going ahead with
preparations for tourist campaign. T."
y. Walter Scott, superintendent Of
the Hawaiain Promotion Committee in
Snp Francisco sent the following mes.
sage to the local COMMITTEES yesterday;
I" Must send Ifalton and Taylor East.
Inadyisable TO hold up any promo
tion work at this time.n " IT,.
y Albert +. Taylor is already on his
wny, and as Fred J. Halton, represen.
tafive Of the Hawaiian Promotion
Committee in San Francisco is expect
cd 10 tour the East in the interests of
the committee, Hawaii is assured Of
being well represented throughout the
East and Middle West.
II Is the belief of Phil Danky, who
is in charge of the local Office in the
absence Of Taylor, that Scott 3 mes
sage signifies that an active tourist
campaign will be started at once.
Crossing the Atlantic nowadays is i'm.
safe, and il is thought that Hawaii will
see many tourists. -. "

FREE SEWERS AND
GARBAGE COLLECTION

One fifteen hundredth of cent, or In
the language Of the bill, one and Ave
tonths mills, taxed upon all real aud
personal property within the city and
county OF Honolulu, is estimated by
Harry Murray, general manager of the
water and sewer departments, to be
o source Of revenue sufficient TO sup.
port free sewer and garbage .collec-
tiOn system. ... ..s..
Senator Castle introduced a bill in
the legislature yesterday which win
provide for such a system, supported
out of the proposed tax. Interest and
sinking fund charge on the existing
sewer bonds would be set aside out OF
the rcveUuc from the tax and the re-
mining receipts would be spent in
maintaining and extending free sewers
and free garbage system.

CAPTAIN OF MAUI
SUSPENDED YEAR
Found Guilty Of Gross Careless
ness and Incompetence In
Handling Steamer

Capt. Robert Williamson, master Of
the Inter-Island Company's ship Maui,
recently wrecked off the North Koha
coast, has been suspended for a year.
This decision was announced yesterday
by the local United States inspectors
of hulls and boilers Capts. Joseph j.
penalty dates from last Tuesday.
The findings in the case are briefly
as follows; r.
Captain Williamson has been
found guilty of carelessness, negligence
and unskilfulness in the navigation of
his vessel on three counts, namely:
'First-Inasmuch as at no time
while master of the vessel did he at
tempt to ascertain the error of his com.
pass, which he claimed was in error.
"SecOnd-That being under the i'm
preston that his compass was in
error he made no allowance for such
error when setting his course from
MahukOna to Keahole Light. .,r 4
. 'Third-That no precautions were
taken by him as prescribed by law
relative TO speed and use of the lead
in thick weather such as he claimed
TO experience at the time Of the wreck,
especially when he did not know the
extent of his compass error
The Investigation of the cireum-
stances surrounding the wreck showed
that the Maui's compass showed a de-
Walton from correctness of one and
one.quarter points.
Captain Williamson had been in com
mand Of the Maui for one week prior
to the time she was wrecked of Kea-
hole Point on March 20 at one O'Clock
in the morning. He was granted his
masters license in Seattle in 1901.

self-imagned Browningites, but will be
welcome and most grateful to the aver

real men and women are. how diff

undesirable according TO any

wicked at their worst. how alto

interesting. His mission has been
the mission of great dramatic
psychologist He was the
great Poet Of Human Character
