High Cost of Livinq

ITNHEa senate committee on naval affairs has
| j raised the limit Of cost on the four battle
cruisers to be built from sixteen and half million
dollars to nineteen million dollars each Thus the
high cost of living continues to go up. Uncle Sam
has no battlecruisers yet but he has been proud
Of his batteshps, especially proud when the great
white feet made its round-the-world cruise, and
yet not zone of the, sixteen great dreadnoughts
which made the cruise cost the taxpayers more
than one-fourth of what one offthe battlecruisers
is to cost u.s. z %-Sf5F%E ".f"" h.5l
Batteships such as we are building for our first
line today cost nearly as much as the projected
ibattecrulsers, however. On Thursday last the
steel shell Of what will be the superdreadnought
Mississippi was slid into the water at Newport
News, and the great hull, without its armament
fittings or machinery, stood the government just
eight million dollars, almost twice as much as
any one Of the Big Sixteen cost complete Esl
But the Mississippi is worth it in fighting
strength. Unaded the new Mississippi would be
able to defeat the entire fleet of sixteen at which
Honolulu marvelled few years ago. She will be
faster, her guns will outrange those of the older
type of dreadnoughts and she will be able to FIRE
faster and throw greater mass of metal. AS al
lighting ship she will represent sixteen million
wellspent dollars. ..as-I
The Mississippi was laid down in April 1915,
and will be ready to be commissioned late next
fall. Except for slight modification in certain
principles of design, the Mississippi will be dupl-
cate of the dreadnoughts Pennsylvania and Ari-
soma, recently commissioned. II
The new battleship will have maximum speed
OF twenty-one knots, will displace $1,000 tons on
trial and $4,000 when fully loaded, and will have a
length over all of GA feet It's engines will be oil
the Curtis turbine type productive of an estimate
horsepower of $4,000 Like the other latest bat
tecraft, it will be equipped with oburning boilers
The main battery of the Mississippi will bel
twelve l4inch 50-caibre rifles placed three to the
turret. In addition, there will be twenty-five ST.
inch 81 calibre rapd-fre guns, four 3-inch anti
aircraft rifles, two 2l-inch torpedo tubes submer-
ged and the usual saluting guns TIT

THE ADVERTISERS SEMI!wEEKLY
Beyond Personality and
Politics

1.-THE city physician, according to a statement
u made by the sheriff and more or less corro-
borated by the emergency hospital surgeon, has
accused the latter official OF being an habtual user
Of drugs. Dope fiend' is what the sheriff says
the emergency surgeon was called. Reports of a
similar nature have been in circulation previously,
the emergency hospital surgeon states, himself
in an interview with this paper, published this
morning. s=rs
In the opinion of The Advertiser this is much
more serious charge than the one previously made
against the surgeon, that OF collecting money for
services not rendered, and is charge that cannot
go uninvestigated. t 49,.
If Doctor Aver be an habitual user Of drugs
he is decidedly out Of place at the head Of hos
pital which is, as its name implies, an emergency
hospital" where emergencies have to be met. That
it requires clear head, cool judgement and an
unclouded intellect to handle emergency cases
resulting from accidents, fires riots and SUCH goes
without saying. A drug fiend" can be counted
upon for none of these things.
+ If Doctor Aver be not an habitua user of drugs,
a serious injury has been done him and suitable
reparation is due him
Only an investigation by a competent medical
examiner can settle this question Nothing short
Of this should be acceptable to the community.
Into the hands of the emergency hospital surgeon
is trusted the lives of many people, and confidence
in the clearheadedness at all times Of this official
is most essential. @"t.
He should welcome such an investigation intoI
this serious charge will establish it's fasity, if it
be false 81 @a9s 5i st F.1@. ...,s....

KANAKANU| PEEVED
BYBEACH SURVEY
Wants To Know Why Harbor
Board Sent Survey Gang On
His Land

The first formal kick against the
proceedings Of the harbor board pre-
liminary to the proposed construction
Of promenade along Waikiki beach
for the general public was made yes.
terday at a meeting Of the board by s
NJ. Kanakanui, Of the territorial sur.
veyor's Office, who owns residence on
the beach beyond the Moana hotel.
Mr.. Kanakanui was aggreived, deeply
aggfieved. Surveyors OF the harbor
board, il appeared, that dared TO ven.
ture upon his land and run their line.
without even so much as iiby your
leave Mr.. Kanakanui didn't think
1T was right. Further than that. he

anyway. Wasn't II his landi
Kanakanui said that his land ran
down to low water mark. II was the

piolani park, he said. So far as he
knew, all other beach titles ran only to
high water mark.
Mr.. Kanakanui had another griev.
anee. People had been reading the pa.
pers, he said, and had learned of the
board s proposal to "restore to the
people the rights to the beach that had
been taken from them,' and had Jump.
ed to the conclusion that they had a
right to cross his land and the land Of
his neighbors, greatly to his annoyance.
He didn't think so much publicity
ought to have been given to the mat
ter. Neither did he think the board
should have ordered surveyors to 20
to work until they had first ascertained
the titles Of all the property involved.
Members Of the board patiently ex.
planned to Mr.. Kanakanui that there
had been no intention to show him any
discourtesy or to subject him to any,
Inconvenience But one of the reasons
for ordering the survey made was TO
ascertain titles and the lines Of land
parcels
The place 70 do that, Kanakanui said,
was at the territorial survey office.
To this the acting chairman of the
board replied that he had sent TO the
survey Office for the information and
had been informed by r. d, King that
no such records were available and the
only way to get them would be to en-
ploy a searcher of titles. Rather than
wait several months while this was
done, he had preferred to set the sur
veyors to work.
Kanakanui said fatty that he didn't
believe II, but Woodward reiterated
his statement. Kanakanui then said
ne didn't think the surveyors should
have been sent onto his land until the
and the board wanted was condemned

Tested and Failed

PRACTICALLY year of operation under the
l. Furuseth Seamens Bill has passed and time
has proved the measure to be an utter failure.
Nothing could more thoroughly prove this than
the fact that Andrew Furuseth, its author, and
the labor unions, who dubbed Congress into pass
ing the measure, are now bitterly lamenting the
fact that its clauses are not being enforced with
the exception of the unfortunate ships operating
IN the United States coastwise trade, which were
forced to go to tremendous expense to comply
with the provisions. 1t was recently told how the
United States transport Crook" diSregarded the
So-caled humanitarian clauses, but no official has
yet taken cognizance OF that information Beyond
striking blow at the American merchant marine,
