OPIOM TRAIL LEADS
POLICE TO LITTLE
COTTAGE in MANOA
Officers Under McDuffie Acting
In Concert With Secret Service
and Customs Officials Take
Two Men In Connection With
Seizure Of Drug Last Week.

The trail of the trunks full of opium
seized last week, by the officers of the
United States customs service led up
into the Manoa Valley last night, anu
the sleuths ran down two men, who
gave their names as Salina and Castora,
and the Chinese, who had been acting
as the chauffeur for the pair. Just
what booty the officers managed to Sc
cure they would not tell, as the chase
is not over as yet, but at least $1,000
in gold coin was found on one of the.
men, and is believed to be part of the
proceeds of the sale of other supplies
Of opium, hidden in places for which
the government officials are looking.
Chief of Detectives McDuffie, Gus.
toms inspectors and one of the secret
service men of the United States treas
ury department made the capture. The
pair, Salina and CastOTa had been liv
ing in quiet little cottage on UppeI
MunCa Road for two or three weeks
At least CastoTa, pleasant spoken
well dressed and we'll behaved man
took the place about that length. of
time ago and gave out to such as wert
curious enough to ask, that he was an
eastern business man, looking over the
I"cal situation with view to invest.
ing his capital in business here.
oahna was in the habit OF spending
much of his time with Castora. say the
officers who have been watching the
men for some time, but il was not until
last night that the trap was ready to
he sprung. Salina was the first 20 walk
within the jaws. He was taken by
McDuffie and held in the front rooms
Of the cottage until Castora drove up
in the automobile shortly after eleven
o 'clOck.
AS the latter entered through tn,
rear entrance of the house the captain
of detectives jumped him at once. On
his person the gold coin was found.
The officers at the county jail and
at the police station last night denied
that either of the men had been arrest
ed, but did not deny that a raid had
been pulled off in the ManOa Valley.
and that it had to do with the finding
on the dock last week of $4,000 wOrtl
of the poppy drug in two trunks. thu
property of man who had given his
name as "B. Castoy," passenger OIL
board the ManOa on her last trip.
The governmental officers believe
that they have taken the riuglcaders
in the biggest of opium rings which
has ever fOurished in this Territory
since Uncle Sam took charge of the

HATCH EXPLAINS
HOW HE WOULD
MEET CITY DEBT
Hopes To See 0verdraft 0vertak-
en- BY March, But If Not win
Use Pruning Knife On All Ex-
penditures Including Salaries

That the city government will be
,ut of debt by the end of the fiscal
'ear, even if there have TO be radical
-uts in salaries and the discharge of
-ity employees to effect the necessary
'avings, is the declaration of Super
,isor Hatch, who 70 writes to The AID.
Vertiser.
Judge Hatch would work on the pres
ant estimates until the end of March,
With the understanding that there
hould be q sufficient saving in that
ime to enable the revenues TO oveF-
AXE the expenditures and to cut down
he present overdraft to the vanishing
point. If that result has not come,
hen the pruning knife win be taken
nut and expenses arbitrarily reduced.
Judge Hatch writes:
Editor Advertiser know ! can
lepend on your good nature to allow a
jrief addition to the statement of my
Jews touching municipal finances as
published in yours Of tOday's date, viz:
The prospects are, according to
Hatch, that at the end of the term
of the present board most of the
inherited debt would be wiped out.
This, statement standing by itself
Gems almost simple. The debt is not
Inherited. 1t is of our own making.
The idea L attempted to express was:
here is strong probability that on
fareh the adverse balance will have
disappeared. $5l 600 in one item is pro-
'ided for by making no appropriation
rom general funds for roads during
he coming six months, the last of the
iscal year. ....
But if there shall turn out to he a
wrong balance on March !, it will be
wiped out by making such radical cuts
n salaries and discharge of employees
Is may be necessary to square the ac-
count.
This is a matter of definite assurance.
No room is left for doubt on this
,oint. The account will be brought to
. balance without act from the legisla
'ure. The appeal which is to be made
0 the legislature will be on behalf of
he succeeding board of supervisors.
. No reasonable being eau contend that
his city and county cGn be properly
un for the next two years on the same
mount of money as was considered
efficient by the legislature two years
ago for the biennial period now coming

Long Fight Finally Ended When
Senator Hitchcock Withdraws
Resolution and Solons Adopt
One introduced by Jones
J. HAMILTON LEWIS WARNS
UPPER HOUSE OF MENACE
Measure Is Passed BY Strict Par
~ Vote Of Forty-eight To Sew
enteen After Parliamentary
Battle Which Lasted Two Days
tA.socialsd Press BY FEDERAL wiroless)

NVJ ASHINGToN, January Cop,
w position to endorsement of the
Presidents peace message was
routed in the senate here yesterday
when the resolution presented by Sen,
Ator Jones of Washington was passed
BY a vote Of forty eight to seventeen.
The resolution of Senator Jones was
substitute for the resolution proposed
BY Senator Hitchcock on December IS
and while not approving the peace note
Of the president, approves the request
to the belligerents to state their terms
Of peace. .,.s-.....r..' ....
The debate on the subject started
early in the afternoon and while the
result is considered as a slap at the
President in refusing to endorse his
peace note, IL also is considered as de-
finite step in the desire of congress to
learn from the belligerent nations up
on just what terms they will discuss
perce. ~.
Beginning the parliamentary skirmish-
ing, the senate on a strict party vote
agreed to the motion of SENATE Hitch
cock TO proceed TO formal consideration
cf his resolution endorsing the Presi-
dents note. This resolution was finally
Withdrawn and one introduced by Sen
ator Jones adopted in its place.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
illinois, leading the fight for the Presi-
drnt, declared the war cannot continue
II ,y,a,
involved in it. He declared that de-
bate in opposition to the President 8
course is more injurious to the cause
of peace than any other form of OPP
position that has arisen from other
sources in the United States.
An authorized statement was issued
late yesterday by Secretary of State
Lansing that the president does not
contemplate sending another note to
the belligerents suggesting an outline
Of terms Of peace. '..'
Dispatches from London received
here yesterday declared that hope that
the German peace proposals would
bring about peace conferences seems
10 be fading in Germany.
A significant utterance was that of
the Berlin LOkal Anzeiger, the we'll
known Berlin paper which largely re-
fleets official opinion.
The Anzeiger says that publication
Of the definite peace terms which Ger
mnnS is willing to accept is. useless.
This paper takes the attitude that the
recent utterances of the Allies, par
ticularly of France, show that the
terms would not be accepted in the En-
tente group. Especial mention is made
of the action of the French senate in
passing a vigorous resolution declaring
that France cannot and will not make
peace so long as the enemy is occupy
ing French territory.
A Renters despatch from Amster-
dam, telling of this incident, says that
the Anzeiger considers that the Allies
are refusing to discuss peace negotia-
tons seriously.
