GASOLINE SHORT
ON BIG ISLAND
Especial star-Bulletin Corrsspondsnce.l


HILO, May 4.-There is q great
shortage of gasoline in Holi and in
the islands, as q whole. This is very
evident from the statements of those
people who handle the stuff in bulk.
Some business houses are puzzling as
to how they will be able to keep their
auto truck going on delivery work as
gasoline Is not obtainabIe in Hilo. A
few people who have some drums OF
It are holding on tight and, although
offered big price for the article. re-
fuse to sell, preferring to keep the
gas for their own use. - = i
That something of the sort was an
ticipated is known and there are
stories to the effect that II is possible
that no more gasoline win be shipped
to Hilo. That would mean a stoppage.
Of much business IN Hilo for auto
trucks and automobiles are now used
In every line Of business. Horses have
gone out OF use nowadays and the
firms that use to have them in de-
livery wagons are now without any.
A prediction is made that the auto
mobile manufacturers will soon put
cars on the, market that will have
carburetors that can use coal oil in
stead OF gasoline. Another prediction
is that the steam car is coming into
its own and that the gasoline driven
car Is to be abandoned. ID.

HOOVER ASSUMES DUTIES
OF FOOD CONTROLLER
(Asuocia.sd Press BY q. 3. Naval wlrsIsss)

lA2EoclSted tEe8S by y. =. Naval WlHeteE&-1
WASHINGTON, d. e., May o.
Herbert c. Hoover. who for more than
two years was thu head OF the Bel.
gian relief commission and who more
than any one othef naI kept the de-
spoiled Belgians from starving TO
death, arrived here yesterday.
Mr.. Hoover refused 10 make any full
statement Of his work and expeeta-
tons until he should have reported to
President Wilson. He did state, how
ever, that the plight Of the Belgians
is fearful. Food supplies for the I'M
fortunate victims of German RUTHLESS
ness, he said, are far below what is
necessary.
Mr.. Hoover stated that there are
five or six things which make 1t i'm
possible to forecast the developments
of the future.
Mr.. Hoover will assume his new
post as chairman Of the American
food board at once. He will retain
his position as chairman of the Amer
ican commission for relief In Belgium,
directing its general policy at least
until matters develop further in Wash
ington. The. executive work of the
commission will be carried on under
w. L: HocoId, director in America;
W. B. Poland director in Europe, and
W., l. Brown, director in Holland. ~
The commissions supplies will be
transported by the commission staff
to the Belgian frontier and will be
handed over there to efficient French
and Belgian committees, who will un.
dertake the distribution of the sup.
plies and the care of the destitute.
The new .Spanish-Du committee,
under the patronage of the king OF
Spain and the queen of Holland, will
limit itself to the protection of the
French and Belgian committees and
make certain that the foodstuffs, both
native and imported, are devoted ex-
clusiVely to the benefit Of the civilian
population. .
