With H|LO SKETCH

l. Z + go Z 4.
Lionel Walden, the noted marine
and landscape artist, returned this
morning from Hilo, where he has been
making an outline drawing OF Hilo
llarbor for diorama which will be
placed in the Pan-Pacific pavilion on.

Walden was accompanied by David
Hunter, who has been assisting him
in making the drawing.
The perspective of the Hilo. dioraTna
shows Hilo harbor as viewed from
Ccconut island, with snew-eapped
Mauna Kea looming up in the back
ground The view is one Of the most
striking on the Big Island on a clear
day and the artists admirers feel
certain that he will paint a canvass
which will faithfully depict the beau
ty of the scene--a scene which the
residents of Hi1o delight in drawing,
to the attention of visitors.
Walden viii begin the actual work
Of painting the diorama Within a few
days and he will devote from two to
three weeks work on the canvass,
which will be 80 feet long and 10 feet
In height. He expresses himself as
delighted with the study, which he
was asked to paint by Alexander
Hume Ford, who is in charge of the
work of collecting the island dioramas
for the Pan-Pacific exhibit. -.

court Cuts down
FEE FOR SALVAGE

Wireless adyices received today by
the law firm Of Smith. Warren & SUIT.
ton, attorneys for the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company, state that
allowance in the famous old salvage
case OF the Hafcyen has. been reduced
from $280e to $4,000 by the United
States court of appeals
The salvaging took place in Hilo
harbor one night in January, 1914,
when the boat was said to have been
at the mercy OF wind and storm, and
was rescued by the Inter-Island boat
Niihau. The contention of the owners
of the Halcyon was that this was not
more than towing operation
The case was fought out in the To-
cal circuit court under Judge Sanford
B.. Dole and later an appeal was taken
with the result as stated above,

At times to me tits almost tragic
The way she puts us on the grill.
She's full of mischief as puppy

But then she has way about her
That shows she Is not quite divine.
With all her faiiinss, will L say It?
The sparkle Of her impish eyes
Is like a ray OF pleasant sunshine,
As down the garden path she flies.

WORKS RIGHT ON !.
WHEN SUSPENDED

Detectiy ALFRED p Ocampo. FiIipi.
no inter eter in Capt. McDaffie's
departH .at, is temporarily private
citizenS Officially he has 10 police
power: unofficially he is still assist
ing McDuffie. Sheriff Rose says
Ocampo has been suspended from the
department pending an investigation
OF his conduct in connection with a
Japanese girl with whom the Filipino
Is said to have been found in a local
rooming house about . O'Clock in the
morning a few DAYS ago.
On January 3 Sheriff Rose was ask
ed by a Star.Bulletin reporter what
he proposed to do in the Ocampo mat
ter. At that time the sheriff's reply
was to the effect that he would prob
ably do nothing as there was moth
ing in particular to do. According
to the sheriff's story now. Ocampo
must have then been suspended three
days unless am order dated back to
not commit himself, He simply states
he has been suspA 1ded since the
first of the year" i
McDuffie had previously stated that
he had offered the girls \1other to
prosecute Ocampo and had cen i'm
plored not to do so whereupeo he
dropped the case. Although the hief
says 0campo's badge has been in Is
office since New Years to all intentA
and purposes the Filipino detective
was still doing his customary duties,
In explanation of this the chief said:
"ocampo voluntarily offered to as
sist me in my Filipino work even aft
er I had removed his badge and as
he is the only one of his kind that
can trust I naturally was glad to
accept his proffered services"
The sheriff says he will shortly
make personal investigation of the
whole affair to determine whether he
shall remove the suspension, or make
it an expulsion. .:rz - -
In the meantime tue sheriff says
Ocampo may take his case to the civil
service and police commissioners al
though there is no official record Of
his having done so yet. 81

Government Control Is

Washington, Sept. l5.--Bread is going
to be cheaper This was learned Off
cially yesterday, although the size and
price of the "Hooverized Loaf has not
yet been finally determined.
The master bakers emergency war
council itself presented the plan of vir-
tual government control of the industry
through licensing the bakeries and lin
iting profits A system of saving is
being worked out through economies in

other regulations. The emergency coun-
Gil is en- route to Chicago, where its plans
will be laid before "a war convention"

SOUTH AMERICA MUST MIND.
Countries That Sent Food to Germany
Will Find Their Supplies Cut OFF.

Washington, Sept. l5.-If it becomes
necessary to prevent food shipments
from reaching Germany from South
America, through the European neutral
countries, the United States and Great
Britain was prepared to apply the strict
est embargo on coal to the Latin repub-
lies. A coal embargo and bunkering re-
striction, it is declared, would stop i'm
mediately all food shipments from South
America
Some of the Latin American countries,
although they have broken off relations
with Germany, are said to have made no
efforts to check their food exports to the
European neutrals
Another phase of the situation is de-
veloped by the reports that much of the
German money spent for propaganda pur-
poses in North and South America is
furnished by German owned public util-
ity concerns in South American cities.
More than half billion dollars of Ger
man money is said to be invested in such
public utilities. This produces an an
annual profit of about S50,000000.
BY cutting off coal to these concerns, it
is declared the South American govern
ments would be forced to take over the
enterprises for operation.
