FARNL0AN BILL
LIKELY To FAIL

Little probability exists for passage
in. the senate of Representative Ly.
mans farm loan bill which had such
a rough voyage in the house and which
reached the climax Of its journey
when house members voted against
the table recommendation OF Chair
man Clarence Cooke and his finance
committee members, and passed the
measure. 49,. ........ ..---... n
The bill is at present in the judici-
airy committee of the senate, and will
be reported on tomorrow If possible.
1t is likely that recommendation will
be made to table it, though Makekau
and Kamauoha of the committee
strongly favor 1t. ......
Senators Castle, Robinson and
Coney oppose the measure, believing
it is not practicable as presented. The
fund of 100000 is not deemed suffi-
cient to start such a system. = -

INSPECTOR GENERAL "
OF SCHOOLS CAUSES
DIVISION IN SENATE

By a close vote yesterday afternoon
members of the senate decided, tempo
rarily at least, to follow the lead of
the house in abolishing the office of
inspector general of schools, putting in
its place a survey director. ...: .
Opposition to this action was strong,
however, and from some of the most
influential members of the upper
house. AS soon as the matter came
up for discussion Senator Cooke, mem
Der of the education committee, pre-
sented an amendment which proposed
to replace the office which the house
has wiped out, Castle seconded. the
motion to amend and both senator's
supported their stand with timely ar.
gument. Both declared the personal
element had been largely responsible
for the attempt to eliminate the Of
flee. f." -
Senator Coney opposed putting back
the office. He thought the position
vas not needed in view of the duties
of supervising principals These
should inspect the schools.
Pacheco opposed Cookies motion on
the ground that while replacing the
former job it did not, cut out that of
the substitute which had been offered.
Final action on the appropriation bill
was put over until this afternoon

HIM Citizenship

| Honolulu people will be interested
in the news that Joseph Beech, presi-
dent OF West China Union University
OF Chengtu. who passed through this
city some months ago, has recently
been created an American citizen by
special act Of Congress.
This unusual honor has been con-
ferred on less than half a dozen per-
sons in the history of the United
States. SKI"
Born at Newbold, England, in 1861,
he was brought to this country by his
parents while very yoGa,g. He had
always believed himself an American
citizen, until the unsettled condition
OF affairs in China necessitated his
producing legal evidence. AS this was
inaccessible, he appealed to Congress
to remedy the defect. ......
President Beech first went to China
Is years ago as superintendent Of the
Chengtu district of the West China
Mission Conference, after which he
was made head OF the university.
Beech is known to considerable
number of people in Honolulu At

THE GREAT DIVIDE

The woman in. the prime of life need
not dread to meet the loss Of her
youth when growing elderly. While
some charms diminish, others should
replace them-charms of experience,
cultivation, wisdom The great physi-
cal changes met between the fortieth
and fiftieth year are indeed serious,
and are not always we'll borne. In
the strain of modern life, few women
are in condition to meet these changes
without some apprehension of derang-
ed health. But with, the excellent
help of Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, that old, trustworthy
woman's medicine, a, woman may con.
fidently expect to enter later life as
well and robust as eyer-Ady. ...= 4.

Maui nas set an example OF good
roads, said l.. w. de Vis-Norton, who
recently returned from a visit to the
Valley Island. The roads there are
truly magnificent, and all of the ether
islands must hand it to Maui for road
conditions.
There. are perhaps five times as
many miles Of roads on Maui as there
are on Kauai, and as far as Oahu is
concerned the local patches caTtnot
be compared with those on the Valley

chimes to Maui and try them out on

not have such poor impression of
the roads that are found in the isl
ands," he concluded.

BRIDGE WORKMEN
MAKE PROGRESS
Towers to Support Construc
ton Cable Will Go Up
Soon.

Under the supervision Of Resident
Engineer William Z. Brady and other
employees of the John F. Casey Com
pany the work on the new bridge that
will span Coal Run is progressing
rapidly. At presnt most attention is
being given TO the erection OF the
two so and "a foot towers. A special
crew of workmen from Pittsburg are
in the city handling this work. Both
Of the towers have been built and
with the exception of few minor
Jobs are ready to be raised into the
air
The towers will be supported by
cables coming to the ground. On the
north side Of the rayine the reinforc.
ing cable comes to the ground in
front OF the Halls Hardware store.
The cable on the south side of the
bridge comes to the ground near the
sidewalk just in front Of Y. NJ. C. A.
There has been quite a delay in the
shipment OF timber, but until the
towers are constructed and the extern
ton of the railroad completed, this
will not prove serious delay.
