Karl KoessIer, Arrested BY U,
S. Marshal, Faces Prospect
of Prison During War

Karl Koessier, the German alien
taken into custody by Marshal J. J.
Smiddy yesterday for failing to Sc
cure permit to reside and do bust
ness in the local restricted areas, is
still in Oahu prison and no arrange
ments have as yet been made for
his release.
Taken into custody without court
process, Koessler may be required to
remain in confinement until the end
OF the war. He Is eligible for parole,
however, If the marshal sees fit to
follow this course. The marshal,
however, said today that he would
not parole Koessler unless he could
put him to work on a plantation on
one Of the islands. KoessIer will not
have to stand trial, neither will he
be released under bond.
Federal authorities consider Koess-
ler's arrest a warning to other Ger
man aliens in Honolulu, or other
parts Of the territory, who fail to Sc
cure their permits. Other Germans
found without permits will be dealt
with summarily. :koessler had a
month or more in which to secure
his permit, and on several occasions
was warned to take it out. To date
about 100 German aliens have reg
istered at the marshaI's office and
secured their permits.

CALL ?
ON ISLANDERS
TO REGISTER


Twelve additional precincts to those
commonly numbered for voting have
been recommended on the island OF
Hawaii by Sheriff Sam Pua, this rec
ommendation being approved by wire
less today by F. J. Green, executive
officer Of the board. This makes O
total Of 80 precincts for the Big
Island.
Word was received from Maui today

board, putting the final touches on
carefully planned system to be useO
there on July 81.
II Is Uncle Sans intention that pub
licity shall be given to those names
registered for the selective draft. A
cable from e. H. Crowder, provost
marshal general in charge Of registra-
tion. was received today as follows:
zone list Of registered persons with
serial number shall be made acces-
sible to the press In the office OF each
local board. In large cities where
there are several local boards this is
proving inconvenient to the press. In
such cities please arrange to have
these accessible lists gathered in some
safe central office, such as police
headquarters, for the convenience Of
the press, providing In each case that
the list be not removed except under
the supervision Of an official who will
be responsible that no list IL lost or
rendered unavailable to the press"
Honolulu and outside districts today
took on patriotic appearance with
the hundreds Of posters that were set
up and pasted on many corners.

greeted with. registration-day posters
IN red, white and blue, as they boarded
the cars Tor their offices. These post
ers are In the various languages com
mon to Hawaii, and are neatly and

MUCH TIME WASTED.

In towns, because the shops are so
near, cooks are far too liable to leave
everything to the last minute, and the
mistress telephone bell and the I'M
fortunate butchers or grocer's boys
and horses suffer greatly in conse-
quence, or the time of the maid is
wasted in Just running out" to get
something which should have been or
dered the day before.
In houses where the cook is mex
perienced and food is bought in far
smaller quantities, the daily visit to
the kitchen becomes necessary, part
ly because the mistress must see that
the premises are kept clean each day
and party because the cook may not
realize how to make the best Of the
pieces.
Half the secret of catering well on
a small allowance lies in knowing how
to use pieces and of taking advantage
from day to day of fluctuations in
price, which latter cannot be done in
the same way when standing orders
must be given.
Even in the households, however, the
mistress may do much to tighten the
labor Of the cook and to save expense
both of coal and material by arrang-
ing her bills of fare with care and
showing her cook how she may pre-
pare in one morning various items
which will come in during the next
two days, when perhaps there will be
less time to spare for culinary efforts
owing to the necessity for cleaning a
room or the kitchen.

vidua1 and every party should compete
with every rival upon absolutely equal
terms at the polls. C. That ballots are
easy to mark. making the expressing
of the voters choice easy.
These results are to be obtained: /,
By making the ballots as simple as

cisely the same way for all.
have studied the ballot of nearly
every state in the Union. In my opin-
ion the Massachusetts ballot is the
best of all the ballots 1t is impor-
tant to note that the new New Jersey
ballot is practically an exact dupli-
cate Of the Massa chusetts ballot. With
all the ballots to choose from New
Jersey adopted the Massachusetts bal
lot. Throughout his two terms of Of
flee, Governor Hughes in New York
urged upon his state the abandonment
of the party column ballot and the
adoption Of the Massachusetts, form.
The many perplexities and difficulties
attending the use of the party column
ballot in New York have given rise
to much dissatisfaction AMI even liti-
cation. Governor Hughes recommend
ed the cutting of all such knots at one
blow by the adoption of the Massa-
chusetts ballot. He described it as "a
simple form of ballot which will put
parties, candidates and voters respec-
lively on an entirely equal footing"
THE party column" he said, 'facili-
tates carelessness in voting and en-
courages the. nomination of inferior
candidates for minor offices who rely
for their success upon the strength of
other candidates upon the same tick
et."
Nearly every considerable town in
Massachusetts, after trying it in state
elections, has adopted it for town cleo
TONS in spite of the fact that in town
elections they can adopt any system
they please.
The fundamental vice in Connecti-
cut is that it puts a large premium
upon straight voting, making it very
difficult to vote split ticket as COM
pared with a straight ticket. In this
respect the Connecticut ballot is in
the worst class" 1t is very evident
that the majority of the voters in
Connecticut are not satisfied with the
present form of ballot, and that the
Massachusetts form would be. I am
well acquainted with the Massachu-
sets ballot and know whereof
speak.

THE JERSEY ExPLo sIoNs.

After the blowing up of two New
Jersey towns, where projectile and
powder plants were located, which re-
suited in large property loss, and the
terrorizing of the people but fortu-
nately not a large loss of life, it is
not surprising that there is opposi-
ton to the reconstruction of those
plants in those places. They have re-
suited in the springing up of small
sized cities where ham1ets formerly ex-
listed but they have been wiped out
quicker than they came and there is
little wonder that the residents
feel that they have had all the exper-
fence with such industries that they
want.
One surprising fact in connection
with these explosions is that these
powder houses, storage sheds and
buildings where the dangerous part of
the operations were carried on were
so close together. There can be no
question but what the arrangement
also contributed to the danger for it
made 1t easy for a fire or explosion in
one Of the buildings to communicate
with the remainder of the plant,
whereas had there been a greater dis
tribution such would have undoubted-
ly been avoided.
No apparent effort appears to have
been made to guard against Just such
trouble as occurred. The plants had
been fairly well guarded up to this
time, but it has now been shown that
there was an opportunity for even
greater regard for the hazardous ma
ture of the business and the protec-
ton Of the respective communities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Clean Up.

Mr.. Editor: A telephone message
from New Haven, received late on
Saturday, apprised me of the fact that
eight hundred children of Waterbury
had been denied the privilege of att
tendance at the public schools as a
penalty for applying for admission
without first obtaining a fresh Ger
tificate of vaccination. I also learned
that mass meeting of citizens was
to be held in the opera house on Sun
day afternoon to voice the indignation
of the community at this high handed
proceeding on the part of the health
authorities. Evidently the people of
Waterbury are getting wise to the
fact that their ponderous health board
is getting to be not only overbearing
but decidedly tyrannical.
When we recall that this epidemic
in Waterbury has been raging now
over three months and there is not
a scintilia of evidence that any effort
has been either made or contemplated
to apply sanitation, the people in Wa
terbury are certainly to be commend
ed for taking this action in defense
of their children and their rights. 1t
is high time that these pSendo scien-
fists of the medical oligarchy got
busy and instead of trying to render
the people immune to the causative
factor intelligently made an effort to
get rid of the factor itself.
The bungling manner in which the
recent outbreak of small pox in Mys-
tic and New London was handled
warns US there Is something rotten in
things at this end of the state. When
a physician deliberately allows a pa
tient afflicted with a contagious dis
ease. to depart from his Office and
wander without let or hindrange where
he may, or when a public hospital
makes no effort to detain such a pa
tient until he can be conveyed to an
other institution, especially devised
for his accommodation. it looks very
much as if the legislature now in
session could take a day or two off
and provide penalties for the maI-ad-
ministration of laws pertaining to the
public health.
In view of the facts stated it should
be plain to every intelligent citizen
that the time has come to take more
than an academic interest in the pass
ing medical show. We know not how
soon our own school children will be-
come shining mark for the high
priests of the American Medical Asso-
citation. It is a well known fact that
where we find the most vaccination
there is the most small pox. If we
do not prepare ourselves to meet a
possible epidemic by rational means
we shall have to shoulder a large
share of the responsibility ourselves.
Let the slogan be. Clean UP.

The Good Old Days of Tracy, McWil-
Iiams and Bogue.

Mr. Editor: EX-Mayor Murphy told
us our gas and electric plant was
worth million dollars when Tracy,
McWilliams and Bogue had charge and
it was too big thing for three COM
missioners to take care of. He used
a great deal of energy to relieve the
above commissioners by inducing the
state legislature to increase the gas
and electric commission from three to
five and according to Mayor Browns
letter in your paper short while ago
Ex-Mayor Murphy'S commission of five
has not INCREASED the value Of the
municipal ownership in gas and cleo
tricity in Norwich to any great extent
above the million dollar value set by
him. Mr.. Editor, a $75O.0OO invest
ment paying 95 cents annually is some
thing great and on the basis of 6
per cent. dividend it is worth just
$500 as an investment to the tax pay
ers of the city of Norwich. If Ex- May

ton for the respective years was
s691, $3.50 and LOSS. 02S,273.
This gain holds good on practically
all types of cars since there were, for
instance, 1.525,57S passenger cars sold
in 1916 while in 1915 there were but
842, 249, the value being for the re-
spective years 1921, 37S, 900 and $685.
$50, $50. The motor trucks likewise
showed a healthy increase from 3d.
$50 in 1915 valued at 1925, 500 to
90, $50 in 1915 valued at 1856, ,273.
That there has been a drop in the
price has doubtless contributed to the
increase in the sales, but regardless of
that the total valuation of the produc-
ton has not suffered.
As has been recognized for several
years the automobile industry is one
of the lines of business which is un-
dergoing rapid development, and de-
spite the number of cars which is
annually produced there appears to be
no prospect of a let up. The business
has not stopped but is steadily grow
ing. 1t is reaching out into new fields
every day and it is highly probable
that 1917 will outdistance the past
year. What was an infant few years
ago is already giant and still grow
in
