Island eggs have advanced another

There is a good supply Of Muscovy
ducks at the present time which is
just about meeting the demand. Twice

berries from Hilo. These berries sell
for 10 cents a pound retail, the same
as the pohas, and are very good for

HOLDSCOPSAT
BAY WITHPISTOL

Calmly rolling a cigarette with one
hand, while he waved the muzzle Of q
3S caliber revolver around in the air
with the other, a Hawaiian named
Puaaiole, of Kalihi, near Kamehameha
~ Road, held four police officers at
bay for four lengthy hours Saturday
night. When the "desperado," who
was evidently crazed by drink, got
tired of the gunplay, he lay down on
the doorstep of his fortress and dozed
off into slumber. The police then
jumped their man, lifted his gun. and
rushed him to headquarters. He is
booked for Investigation" according
to the police blotter.
1t seems that the Hawaiian's wife
burst into headquarters late Saturday
night with the story that her husband
was raising a rumpus, and she wanted
the police to quiet him. Motorcycle
Officer Branco went to the scene OF
activity, but was met by the muZzle
Of a brand new .3S.
You get out O. here before l shoot
you," the Hawaiian gunman is said to
have replied to the officers admoni-
lions. you might kill me, but I'll get
a couple O. cops first"
Soon Motorcycle Officers SiZemore.
Stupplebeen and Ferry came along to
reinforce Branco, but whenever the
quartet tried to rush the house the
Hawaiian was there with the artillery.
Finally Puaaiole lay down and went to
sleep, and awoke later at headquar-
tiers. The firearm was a brand new
one and heavily loaded. The police
explained that because the man was
on his own premises, they were afraid
to shoot. In that event, 1t is said, the
man might lodge charge of attempt
to murder against the officers.

LETTERS

Editor Honolulu Star-Bullet1n.
Sir: Referring to your article OF
September II, 1917, affecting the sol
diers and "Bloodtown." Since when
have the soldiers of Schoield Bar.
racks turned beats, that they should
go out of their way to insult the
omen Of that town, or any other, Tor
that matter?
It is evident, from the tone OF the
article, that the said officers Of the
territory do not want the soldiers in
Hawaii, well it is a "cinch" that the
soldiers are not in love with the Is
lands, or the treatment accorded them
here; we would be only too glad to
get away If possible, or is it that the
peace officers are rewarded, because
they, at last, have to wake up and
do Q little Of the duty that the sol
diers have been so kind to do for them
the last few months.
We all know the class Of people
that naturally migrate to town, sit
uated as close to a big body Of men
as Schofeld is, is not of the best, and
think that this paper would use q
little common sense and not put all
the blame for disturbances to the sol
diers. -a..>
They are sure knocked enough

worst Of it.
Hoping to see this published In the
paper soon,

current was collected in a storage battery. The
Electrician had curious problem to solve Shortly
before that time wealthy man in the western
states had installed plant Of this kind but it was
j failure because, when the battery became charged
over certain point, the current kicked back and
turned the windmill against the vino until its
strength was exhausted. This produced deadlock

FOOD CONTROL
COMMISSION
IS PROBABLE
Senate Expects to Vote on
Measure by End Of the
Week.

Washington, July 18.-The senate
yesterday entered on it's sixth and
probably final week of consideration
of the administration food control
bill, while the leaders conferred in a
further effort to perfect the measure
in such a way as to meet the wishes
of President Wilson and to insure its
passage.
Under it's agreement the senate will
vote on the bill Saturday and then the
measure will be rushed to conference,
where an early agreement is looked
for so that the legislation may be en-
acted before August 1.
Senate leaders today considered
drafts Of proposed changes designed
to compromise the chief points in dis
pute in the Gore substitute-namely
the provision restricting federal auth
GRITTY and providing for a food board
instead Of a single administrator. Ad-
ministration leaders are opposed to
these provisions. A fight may also
come over the question Of government
control of steel, iron, cotton and other
products. shGtlE6TS
1t is believed that in the end legis-
lation will be worked out limiting
government control but substituting
regulatory powers to food, feed and
fuel.
Debate on the food bill was resum-
ed in the Senate with prospects. on
voting on amendfents being begun
during the day,
