The Islands of Maui and Kauai have
carried out their registration work
without a single item of expense to
the federal government, according to
a statement today by F. J. Green.
executive officer Of the central board
These islands and Oahu have respond
ed nobly to the call for gratuitous ser
vice.
Mr. Green today received the final
statements from Sheriff Glenn Crowell

board Of supervisors and registrars
has done absolutely all that could be
expected
Kauai has been first to get in the
standardization report, but to Maui
goes the honor of filing first the
complete returns
Owing to the action of the Hawaii
"r.Td Of supervisors" said Mr.. Green,
the full report to the territory will
be greatly delayed, and l am not able
to say at present when this will be
sent to Washington"
Sheriff Rose and his helpers, with
their big share Of the registration bur-
den. are working day and night to get
their report filed for this island.

MAYOR LOSES
RIGHT TO NAME
CITY ENGINEER
Deputy Attorney Davis Rules
Power to Fill Appointment is
Vested in Board of Super
visors BY Old Ordinance

7 INDER ordinance 80 the appoint,
ment of the city and county en-,
~ gineer is vested solely in the
board Of supervisors and the mayor
has nothing to do with it,
This is the bomb which was
dropped by Deputy City Attorney
Charles Davis at the meeting Of the
board of supervisors Monday night
and as a result the entire situation
relative to the office of city and coun'
ty engineer has been changed in ia
vor of the Republicans.
The surprise was sprung by Attor-
ney Davis following the request Of
Supervisor Mcclellan for legal opin-
ion of the ordinance establishing the
position of assistant city and county
whether the board had the power to
give the assistant the same powers
vested in the city engineer.
Ordinance 80 establishes the office
Of city and county engineer and was
passed years ago by a board which
had the right to appoint and since
then no law has been passed changing
its meaning, according to Mr.. Davis.
When the ordinance creating an as
sistant engineer came up for third
reading Supervisor Mott-Smith asked
that the vote be deferred as he would
like to have a report from the road
on the subject.
Supervisor Arnold replied that the
Of the road and engi-
neertng departments hinged on the
passage of the ordinance and urge
that the vote be taken. Supervisors
Hollinger and AHA also came out in
favor of voting at once. Supervisor
Bellina, however, thought the board
ought to appoint a city engineer now
and not bother about an assistant.
Mr.. Mott-Smith, however, held out
for the report first.
Supervisor Petrie then made an ap-
peal to the board to get together
with the mayor and settle on some
nan who would be acceptable as city
engineer.
You won't say that you are not
zig enough to meet the mayor and
AXE the question up openly" he said.
Supervisor Mcclellan then raised
he question of validity resulting in
Attorney Davis answer.

SEEK
SUPPRESSION OF
VICE ON OAHU

Suppression of vice, including drink
ing, gambling and opium smoking,
among the Koreans in Hawaii, is the
basis of a territory-wide campaign
which has been launched by the Ko-
rean National Association, and in
which the cooperation of the Anti
Saloon League has been solicited.
In letters which are being sent out
by the association, outlining the pur-
pose Of the campaign it is pointed out
that it is the desire of the members
to aid the courts, the police authori-
ties and the plantation heads in en-
forcing all laws relating to gambling,
drinking and opium-smoking. These
vices, says the Letter, are becoming
prevalent among Koreans working on
plantations, as well as among those
living in the cities. The letter adds
that q majority Of the Koreans in Ha-
wall are opposed to these vices, and
stand ready to do their share toward
suppressing them.
The letter follows:
The Korean National Association,
an incorporated body for the purpose
OF raising the standard Of the Korean
people In the territory of Hawaii, and
the leaders of the Korean churches,
have recently requested the Anti-Sa-
loon League, which organization ex-
lists for the purpose of promoting tenn
perance and public morals, to cooper
ate with them in regard to the sup
preston Of certain vices, which they
have found are becoming to some ex-
tent prevalent among the Koreans
working on the plantations as we'll as
those living in the cities.
They state that a majority Of the
Koreans in the islands are opposed to
these vices and are ready to stand
together in suppressing the evils Of
drinking, gambling and opium-smok-
ing. The Anti-Saloon League is spe-
cially requested to assist the Koreans
In bringing before the court and po-
lice authorities and plantation man.
ayers their desire to aid in enforcing
the law very rapidly among their coun-
trymen.
The Korean leaders have express
ed their appreciation of the coopera-
ton Of the plantation managers in the
past, but have felt in some cases the
of the law against drink
ing and opium-smoking has not been
rigid enough. The Korean National
leaders would like the
plantation managers to instruct the
plantation policemen to cooperate
with Korean policemen in prohibiting
the aforementioned vices from being
carried on in Korean camps and also
in prohibiting the Korean laborers
from going into the Chinese camps |
where such vices are said to be most |
prevalent. They furtherE state that
the Korean policemen are instructed |
to arrest all violators of the law but |
that they are powerless, unless they
are backed up by the regular polSce-
men of the plantations.
The Anti-Saloon League feels that
this movement of the Koreans is
very wholesome one for life on the
plantation. We sincerely hope that
his cooperation with you in this mat
Ter will be helpful"

The new instructions have a three
fold purpose: First, they place the
federal authorities in a position to
observe more closely the movements
of alien enemies; second, they afford
greater protection to residents of Ha'
wall from pro-German demonstra-
tions, and, third, they protect the
aliens themselves from illegal seizure
and search by persons purport1ng TO
be connected with the L. S. secret
service.
Under instructions issued shortly
after the United States entered the
war, all German aliens in Honolulu
are required to have permits allow
ing them to reside and do business
in the several restricted areas al
ready established in Honolulu, which
includes the business district and
areas within half a mile of forts and
others government works or stations.
Germans residing on the other ISLANDS
are also required to have permits be-
fore they can enter these restricted
areas, even if only visiting Honolulu
for a day or two on business.
Huber Passes on Permits
The instructions received yesterday
establish a new set Of rules regarding
permits. and in which the permits
already issued play no part. From
now on all German aliens desiring to
travel from one island to another IN
the territory must apply to District
Attorney Huber for a permit, and 1t
is for him to say whether or not the
permit shall issue.
Attorney Huber will personally in
vestigate all applications for permits
and, if he sanctions the application
Marshal Jerome J. Smiddy will then
issue the permit. This rule not only
applies to German aliens living IN
but to such persons living
anywhere in the islands.
For instance, if German residing
At Lahaina desires to travel to Hllo,
ne must make application to the L.
5. attorney, either in person or in
writing, for his permit. His case Will

public, as we'll as allow the federal
authorities to keep a closer watch on

THE qualifications of the man Sc

George NJ. Collins, the incumbent,

4 ENCOURAGEMENT Of sweeping
u changes in the organization Of the
- Oahu guard. including the consoli-
dalton of several companies, une
transfer Of men and the change in as
signment Of company commanders,
was made public this afternoon by
Brtg.-Gen. Samuel l. Johnson, adju-
tant-general Of the territory, and Col.
W. R. Riley Of the 1st Hawaiian In
fantry.
Among the most important changes
are the adjustment for the time at
least Of the coast artillery company
OF the guard and the transfer of it's
men to the local machine gun COM
pany.
The Japanese company, which is to
be formed within few days is to be
known as Company D, the q white
members Of that company going over
to the machine gun company along
with the artillerymen.
While the changes may in some
cases work hardship on individuals,
it is felt that as a whole the guard
organization will benefit to a marked
degree.
Among the reasons ascribed for the
change are the following:
1.-The present strength Of the
companies is too low to hold eff
cient drills.
accompanies are not at pres
ent on a pay status, according to
the national defense act.
3.-Annual encampment cannot
be hgfd unless seaclr coMpany~ has .s
an enrolment of go per cent Of
80 men at least two months be-
fore the field period. In this con-
nection It is interesting to note
that the last day Of grace for re-
organization would be tomorrow,
the plan being TO hold encamp-
ment beginning October Is.
Officers of the new Japanese COM
pany are. to be: Capt. w. G. Allen,
commanding; LIST Lieut.. Frank Mid
kiff and End Lieut.. William L. War.
rem.
The 12-lettered companies of the
present organization in Honolulu

Maj. A. W. Nicely. 49,. "a
