THE USUAL PROBE.

The biennial investigation of the Boys Industrial
School. Waialee, is about TO be launched.
Each legislative session since a time when mem
ory of man runneth not to the contrary has probed
he industrial school, The concrete results of these
Investigations have consisted of reports duly ineor
porated into the house or senate journals
in spite OF numerous public Investigations, it re-
manned for pritate inquiry year and half ago to
establish tho fact that the scllooiwas badly admn
tered and that grave abuses had grown up there
These abuses exposed in the press led to a speedy
change in management, and under new Industrial
school commission the WaiaIee institution has made
long strides. The starBuetn believes that its adj.
now is far better than at any other
time within the past FIVE years.
Superintendent Frederick Anderson has proved
to be good official and has developed recreation
and edIRation at the school without impairing the
discipline In fact, the discipline appears better
row than under the preceding superintendent.
Representative kelekolio asks the house by reso-
luton for an investigation into report that boys
at the school are whipped with undue severity This
came report was aired in Honolulu few months
ago and then found baseless. Whipping was being
but not cruelty. And inasmuch as the
school showed definite progress, the natural con-

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO GERMANY.

q. p. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian,
and one Of the leaders Of the Liberals in England,
has recently written TO the New York Evening Post
letter denying hat compliance with the Allies,

The German empire. In this letter is the following

Editor Scott says nothing about what will hap
pen to the German possessions in Africa or German
Islands in the Pacific, after an Allied victory 1t
now seems fairly clear that Japan will not relin-

The Teutons. s.

NEITHER JOKING NOR BLrFFING.

This fact is penetrating the community, including
a number Of erstwhile scofers:
The Chamber of Commerce means business in its
support of certain amendments TO the city charter
bill.
: the beginning some humorously inclined mem
bers of the community expected 10 have lot of fun
with the Chamber of Commerce. Their attitude is
changing into respect and it will change still more
the chamber goes along the line it has outlined
for action. r.. f~...
When joking failed to wilt the chambers commit
tee Of one hundred when opposition failed to defeat
them; when buffing failed to make them quit-then
an entirely new situation began to develop.
Ii realized that the Chamber of Commerce
is neither joking nor bluffing.
The chamber believes there are certain proposals
in the charter bill which are absolutely ntoerable.
And it has to the point of taking very radical
and very unusual action to that these proposals
do not pass. stE
The chambers stand was forced upon it by the
men at work on the other side the men behind the
convention charter They were preparing to put
through charter absolutely condemned by the
joint civic committee representing the chamber the
Civic Federation the Ad Club, the Rotary Club and
the Commercial Club. s..|"
The admitted Intention to pass the convention
charter virtually unchanged and saddle Honolulu.
with political reaetionarism and opportunism stir
ed the businessmen of Honolulu to unusual action.
They now demand that if the charter is changed
at ALL it be changed to support instead of to violate
the principles of sound business administration.
And they have taken certain, definite stand
which they propose to maintain.

HUSBAND SENDS MONEY,
ii WIFE BRINGS MAN AND
UNEXPECTED CHILDREN

DENVER Colo.-Several years ago
Henry Landwehr left his native town
in; Austria and came to America to
seek his fortune. Behind him he left
his young wife. sac and he agreed
that she should follow him whenever
he had obtained employment and
saved enough to send her money for
the passage.
Landwelir worked hard and In the
course of n few years had saved the
money necessary for his wifc's steam
ship and railroad ticket. He sent the
money to his wife. together with a.
letter asking her to join him at once.
Mrs. Landwefr responded to the
invitation, but when she arrived she.
brought alone another man and two
children, of whose existence Land
weIir had never heard.
As soon as he had recovered from
the shock, Landwehr consulted a
lawyer and instituted divorce pro-
ceedings. Yesterday he told his
story to District Judge Butler and
obtained divorce decree.

while the bill might prove worth while

The committee also recommended
the tabling of house bill 50 relating to
the time of issuance of executions
This bill proposes that executions may
be issued upon any judgment in any

The committee pointed out that il

BUENoS AIRES, Argentina. - A
five per cent. ad Salorem tax on all
produce exported from the Argentine

eminent in one Of several measures
which Congress will consider IN the
extraordinary session just convened.
The object OF the bin is to obtain
money for road. bulinIng and seed
purchasing in the interests of the
agrieulturalists in many parts OF
the country. II passed, the law
becomes effective Immediately. and
its provisions terminate on March
81, 1918. II is estimated that the
tax by that time would have netted
$50, 100000 paper. .....
A. colonization bill is another of
the new governments proposals. The
attention Of Congress Is called to the
fact that primitive and inadequate
agricultural methods are employed
widely in the Argentine, and 1t IS
asked TO approve of the establish
ment of colonies in various parts OF
the country Shy the sale Of govern
ment lands on easy terms and by
the loan OF. money TO enable the colo
nists to equip and run his farm dur.

law is modelled ON one in force in

It is the first time that the radical
