ORGANIzAT|ONOF
NATION'SDRAH
VERY THOROUGH
Time for Tonight's Meeting Of
Exemption Board Fixed in
Washington, D. c.

How thorough is the organization oil
the selective draft work built up by
Brig. Gen. E. II. CroNder, provost mar
shall general, is illustrated in the an
nouncement printed yesterday in these
columns that Marshal J. J. Smiddy had
notified the members Of the district
exemption board that there would be a
meeting tonight at o'clock.
Persons reading the article were
struck With the fact that the hour OF
the meeting was set from Washing
ton. This was in accordance with the
law in the matter.
At an informal meeting few nights
ago the board of exemptions decided
upon tonight as the next date OF meet
iLg. This fact was given to Governor
Pinkham, who cabled it to Gen. Crow
der The officer then cabled instruc'
tons to Marshal SEiddy.
The value of this seemingly round
about method would be greater in the
] ainland, where boards are separated
than here, where federal and terrific
rial offices are so close together. The
law reads:
Upon request of the provost mar.
shall general the United States mar
shall of any federal judicial district in
the state, territory and district where
in the district board is located shall
notify the persons appointed by the
president, members of such district
boards to assemble at the time and

George R. Carter, former governor
of Hawaii, who is to leave next week
for New York On an indeterminate
stay, has resigned from the local
board of exemptions in his district.
Gov. Pinkham will recommend sue
cessor by cable to Washington at
once, it was stated today. George F.
Renton has been named chairman of
this board whose district corresponds
to the fifth representative district.
This completes the organization of
both Honolulu boards.
Clerks at the draft headquarters in
the senate chamber were on their
knees today over huge pile of reg

to break up the numerical and alpha

IN new BUDGET

for spending purposes for the first
six months was set at $368.777.34, but
of this $1s9,S75.OO has already been
spent. which leaves only $178,9O234
for the budget of the next three
months. The difference between the
amount spent in the past three months
and the amount remaining for the next
three months is S10,97O.6o The board
started out with a balance of only
$4,000 for road work and that has
been wiped out, so that in the new
budget it would appear that there
must be provision made for the item,
but as the board is facing a shortage
of S10,970.60 to make up a total re-
quired for the budget in the next three
months, the road work will suffer to
the extent of the shortage.
you must not gather that there
will be no road work DONE" said E. A.
Mott-Smith, chairman of the finance
committee, today, "but the mount will
have to be small in comparison with
what has been done during these three
months"
The pruning of Expenditures to keep
within the estimated income will also
be extended to the incidental items OF
various departments and a saving is
hoped to be effected there.
A report on how the budget for the
last three months has worked out is
being made up at present by the
auditors department and will be pre-
sented by the chairman of the finance
committee to the meeting of the board
of supervisors next Tuesday night.
With the beginning of the new year
and the increased income for the city
and county, Supervisor. A. f. Mott.
Smith is confident that a great many
projects which have been simmering
in the pot will be taken up seriously
The city and county garage idea and
the city and county hospital plan will
be discussed with view to action be
ing taken. Money for road work and
improvements of various kinds will be
on hand and in fact 1T should be a
dandy year for general civic progress"

EXPECT MAUI and
MATSON|A TOBE
TAKEN in Spring

Communicating of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific by the gov
eminent is locally expected to be fol
lowed by the taking over of the Mat
sonia and Maui of the Matson line
But it is not believed that this action
will be taken Immediately, and prob
ably not until next spring. or at least
not until the national shipping board
has made arrangements for the plac'
ing of smaller vessels in the Homo
lulu service.
1t is believed probable that some of
the former German ships now in the
Philippines, may be secured to oper'
ate between San Francisco and Homo.
lulu, which are not adaptable as army
transports. For transports only, the
speedier vessels will be desired by
the government, it is argued, as these
are the ones most successful in dodg-
ing and evading submarines.
While the twin liners, Great North
ern and Northern Pacific, have speed
they will have to undergo considerable
alterations to make excellent troop
ships. This is because their cargo
carrying capacity is limited. The At
lantic transports are required to carry
fuel enough for the round trip when
crossing to France.
Selling the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific by the government
came as the sequel to two contradic-
tory reports received earlier in the
week. One report stated officials of
the Great Northern Steamship Co. had
been assured the two ships were not
to be taken by the government and
that plans were being made to place
the Great Northern on the Honolulu
run. On the same day this report
was cabled from San Francisco, it was
contradicted by another despatch
which said the vessels were to be
Communicated.
The despatch received late yester-
day afternoon was without qualifica-
ton, and it is considered the final
word regarding the intention Of the
government to use these ships for
transports.
Some shipping men declare that the
communicating of the two vessels
will be a matter of satisfaction to
the Great Northern company, as Meth
er of them are constructed so as to
give good service and returns in the
Pacific coast trade. The company
wanted the government to take over
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific" said one Honolulu shipping
man this morning.

ters A statement of these facts
should be sufficient to pack the big
Nuuanu street theater with the Lib

there appears to be a particular care
taken in their production.
Both Louise Huff and House Peters
are favorite film stars wherever Pal
las-Paramount pictures are known. In
Honolulu they are most favorably
known to the silent drama.
The story of The Lonesome Chap
is laid in the popular site for photo
drama, a Western mining camp. 1t
is a story teeming with love, adven-
ture and excitement There is pic
tured one scene, an accident, that will
long live in the memory of all who
witness it. So realistic is this scene
as to appear to have been an actual
accident rather than prearranged
scene for the camera.

Impressions of The
Methodist ReuiUa[
BY Mrs. Mary E. Taylor.

The series of revival services at the
First Methodist church which have
been in progress for the past week,
the pastor Rev. Walter Anthony being
assisted by Rev. Charles Lane, Evan
gelist and Lecturer of national repu-
ton, especially beloved in this south
land, have been notably characterized
by profound scriptural reasoning, ac-
companied by rapt meditative atten-
ton. The people are thinking upon
their ways, many of them ready, we
believe to appropriate the gospel mes
sages so earnestly presented to their
own hearts and lives.
Music, ably conducted by Rev. Note
stein, soloist and choir leader, with
Misses Fakes and Bulloch as pianists,
is a pronounced factor in these ser
vices. The Thursday afternoon "Tes-
timony meeting" when number
"spake one to another" of their Chris
ton experiences, was frought with
blessed assurance"
A large attentive audience heard
Dr. Lane at the Friday afternoon
young peoples services. There were
several accessions to the church on
this occasion. Friday evening DR..
Lanes discourse, subject: 81 am the
light of the world" was full of beau
tiful SMILES forcefully presented, the
dependence of terrestrial things upon
the solar system as analogy to that of
the spiritual realm upon "Christ the
Light of the World"
A quartet composed of Messrs. Note
stein, Robuck, Harris, and Christian,
whose voices beautifully harmonized,
served in this ministry of song a gra-
cious prelude to DR.. Lanes message.
There were on this occasion, a num-
her of out-o-town visitors, who doubt
less had heard Dr. Lane before, and
availed themselves of the dual oppor-
tunity of attended the revival and
listening again to one who has been so
richly endowed in mental and spirit
ual gifts.

MANY BIG CARP ARE CAUGHT.

Albany, March 15.-Fishing for carp
with singletrees from ploys is the lat
est fish story reported here. The truth
of the tale is vouched for by w. T.
Lookett, wel1-known Dougherty plan
ter, and it's accuracy is further attest
ed by the evidence of nine big fish,
some weighing twenty pounds or more
which were exhibited in Albany yes
terday.
The receding waters Of the Flint riv-
err, which has recently been out of its
banks, left numbers of pools in fields
near the stream, and in one of these
the presence of the carp was discov-
cred by farmhands working nearby.
They used the singletree from their
plows as clubs and attacked the fish,
with the result as above stated. Carp
are plentiful in the Flint river.
