WORST ROADS NOT
in THIS STATE
Sly Says There is Harder Going
Across the California Line
r. than Here j.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Sly and sons
Randolph and Gene returned Tuesday
from an automobile trip thru Wash
ington, Oregon and California. They
travelled 2,750 miles in their Buick
Four without any engine trouble and
only one puncture. -a.. ....... =
On the trip down the party went by
the way of Horse Heaven and the Co
lumbia Highway and returned by way
of Seattle and Snoqualmie Pass. Mr..
Sly says they travelled some of the
best roads and some of the worst he
has ever seen. It is to the credit of
this state, however, that the worst
roads were found over the California
line. There is hardly a bad stretch of
road on the trip, he says, where there
is not either crew at work or grade
stakes set for contemplated improve
ments. tw-
For the most part they found crop
conditions good in all three states.
This is especially true of the fruit sec
tons where without exception they
found the trees loaded with fruit.
The trip was made chiefly to visit
William Sly who recently completed
his training in the U. S. Marines at
Mare Island. The visitors arrived in
Vallejo, CAL, on a Thursday evenig and
the next afternoon William left for
Bremerton and is now assigned for
guard duty at Keeport on Puget
Sound. Mr.. Sly says they saw all the
Kennewick boys who enlisted in the
Marines this spring and that all are
we'll and like the military life fine and
all are eager to be sent to France. All
IF the boys but two have left Mare Is
and. Some are at San Diego, some
1T Bremerton and others at Keeport.

the threshold they encountered the
prince, who detained John for a mo-

She rose from beside him and walked
toward the fireplace, as If to touch the

but expressionless face. There was
something curious about her walk. The

shoulders were little hunched. 1t was
| the walk of woman who goes toward

"Stopl" he bade her.

RUSS GOOD entertainers
BUT CAN'T BEAT HAWAII

In a letter to a local friend. F. j..
Mcguire, secretary to H. ]. Dreher.
manager of the Russian branches Of
the National City Bank Of New York
City, writes from Moscow that he has
found the Russian people both genial
and lovable. Mr.. Mcguire passed
through Honolulu earlier in the year
on his way to Russia with Mr.. Dreher
to establish branches Of the National
City Bank in Russia.
Two branches have been establish
ed. one in Petrograd and the other in
Moscow. The reason for this move
on the part of the National City Bank
was on account of the fact that the
New York institution had acquired
the business of handling Russian Sc
curities in America. Five bankers be-
longing to the National City Bank
which included Messrs. Dreher and
Mcguire were entertained by Homo
lulu friends during their short stay
here on their way to Russia, and each
has added a note to the letter from
Mcguire to the effect that though Rus
SLAMS are excellent entertainers they
will never forget the good time"
given the party in Honolulu.

AUSTRIANS SAME
ASGERMANS HERE
IFWARDECLARED

In the event that the United States
declares war on Austria. Hungary, Tur-
key and Bulgaria, alien natives OF
those countries now residing in ha-
waii will be subjected TO the same reg
ulations laid down TO govern alien
Germans. according to an announce
ment which has been made by the
local L. s. attorneys office.
Data now in the hands Of District
Attorney S. c. Huber tend to show
that there are far less alien Austrians,
Hungarians, Turks and Bulgarians IN
Hawaii than there are alien Germans
and, in view Of this, the federal Off
cials anticipate little difficulty in
throwing the net OF surveillance about
them in case of a severance OF dlplom-
attic relations. The naturalization cases
of several Aus.rians and Turks are
now rending in federal court, and are
TO come up for final decision within
a few days before Judge Poindexter.
With diplomatic relations severed,
all rules and regulations for national
safety now applying TO alien Germans
will apply to the aliens Of the other
allies of the Central Powers. They
will be required to Immediately reg
lister their names. occupatiCIs and
other necessary information with the
United States marshal. This done,
they will receive permits to reside and
do business in the local restricted
areas. They will be barred from leay'
ing the territory. or from travelling
among the islands, unless they have
specia! permission from the president,
as well as a special travelling permit
issued by the marshal with the ap'
provdl of the U. S. attorney.
1t is not known how many aliens
of Austria and the other countries are
now employed in local government
WORK, but in the case of diplomatic
break or declaration OF war, they will
have to give up these jobs, II is pre-
sumed, in accordance with proclama'
ton issued recently by the president.
in the opinion Of federal officials, few,
IL any, alien Germans are now en-
ployed in government work, and II
any are employed, II is being done by
special authority from Washington.

No Formal Charge
Yet Made Against
Shooting Suspect

Despite the fact that more than 100
hours have elapsed since he vas first
arrested by Motorcycle Office Sire
more somewhere between the scene
Of the shooting and Fort Shafter," no
formal charge has yet been placed
against David C. Buick. held in con
nection with the shooting OF w. O..
Ito, late Saturday night The territor-
ial law on such cases, holding a man
under investigation, originally provid-
ed that a prisoner could not be held
over IS hours before being brought
before the magistrate on a specific
charge, but the amen ment to this law
declares that he cannot be held more
than 48 hours without being charged,
unless 1t IS contrary to the cause Of
Justice" This latter clause gives the
police authorities a wide range to
operate in, as they can hold a prison
er indefinitely without lodging a
specific complaint against him.
When the chief of detectives was
asked by a Star-Bulletin representa-
tive if he might see Buick, he refus
ed to grant such permission.
NJ Ouo Uut the attorney mas Deon
allowed to talk to the prisoner. and
even notes from close friends have
been turned back at the police desk
Buick is being held absolutely in
communicate"
Friends caught a glimpse of Buick
Tuesday when he was taken out in
the detective bureaus machine for
further investigation. He was accom-
panied by Chief Arthur McDuffie and
Sergeant John Kellett. Buick did not
appear haggard or under severe
strain as one might imagine after be-
ing locked up for so long He smiled
and nodded his head as he got into
the machine and was whisked away.
The Queens hospital reports this
morning that the condition of Ito is
the same. Although his condition Is
serious, 1t is possible that he may
steadily improve. 1t is reported that
his lower extremities are paralyzed.
Attorney William Garden, who will
represent Buick, stated that his case
would be based on mistaken identity.
Neither Attorney Garden or the police
will say whether or not Buick has
made statement
