"Oliver Twist" the main at
traction of the bill, is one of the
finest bits of work the Lasky

the title role, while Hobart Bos-

work in their respective charac-

HILO POLICE PREPARE
FOR ALL EMERGENCIES

HILO, April For a long time
there has been dissatisfaction among
members of the police force in Hilo
over the fact that there was no fund
available for equipment, such as for re-
volvers, or rifles, including ammunition.
Last week, in view of the threatening
condition of affairs, Sheriff Sam Pua
made a requisition upon the supervisors
for $500 for necessary equipment.
The matter was taken up by the
ways and means committee of the
board and at the meeting last Friday
resolutions were passed providing the
sheriff with more funds to equip his
force with than he had asked for. The
first resolution appropriates $4,000 from
the general fund for equipment fol
the police force" The only condition
made by the supervisrs in turning over
thi, money to the sheriff is that b,
"obtain the best prices possible. -.
The second resolution grants Sheriff
pua $4,000 to be known as the "sher
rs special fund, " II is stated tina
this fund will be used for emergencie

Upon instructions received from the

FOREIGN TONNAGE

II is probable that the federal ship
ping board will renew its efforts to
put through the amendments to the
shipping act when the extraordinary
session Of congress convenes. These
proposed amendments are designed to
meet an emergency said TO exist in the
American shipbuilding industry; the
purpose Of which, if possible, to keep
all American built tonnage under our
Flag. Under the recent proclamation
by the President no American vessel
may be sold to foreigners without the
consent of the shipping board.
This, however, will not prevent the
building of new vessels for foreign
account. The law as it would be
changed by the proposed amendments
would not permit any new vessel be
! ing launched from American shipyardi
! which is not registered under the
American Flag and her sale TO a for
eigner can be prevented under thu
President 3 proclamation.
1t is not the design of the proposed
amendments to take away any shil
property 1t will permit the owners o
such new tonnage to organize a com
pany under the laws Of any state t
hold the vessel and through this cor
poratiOn to operate her under tn
American Flag in American trade 3
long as the present emergency last
with the intention Of keeping the ve'
sci under the American Flag until tn
emergency is over, when this ban wi
be taken off and the vessel will G
lfree.
The proposed amendments to tn
shipping act in relation to retaining a
vessels built in American shipyards vi
der the American Flag is to be con
mended, says the New York Martin
! Register, as it appears to be the onI
\ way TO prevent the large amount
} new tonnage now building in tn
country for foreign account from pas
ing to foreign owners and deprivir
this country of the advantage of Il
u use of this tonnage while the prese'

High Cost Of Ocean Transporta-
ton Results In Crockett
sl}...>' Enlargement

The unusual factors governing the de-
velopnent Of the sugar industry at the
present time find another illustration in
the plans outlined for the enlargement
of the California aud Hawaiian refinery
at Crockett, California, to provide for
the refining of larger proportion of
the Hawaiian sugar crop on the Pacific
Coast, says the San Francisco Daily
Commercial News One of the reasons
advanced for the adoption of this
change is the high cost of water trans.
portation due TO the heavy demand for
ocean tonnage and the relatively scant
supply available at the present time.
Prior to 1914 it would have seemed
incredible that the cost of shipment by
water could advance TO n level that
would make il a factor in shifting the
location of refining operations nearer e
the base Of the raw supply. Ocear
freights then were quoted in figures
that made this the cheapest form Of
transportation ever known. They wert
SO far below the cost of land hauls that
the transportation charge, where oceaI
routes were available, became compare
lively negligible, and the economical
handling of such commodity as raw
sugar dictated that it be moved a
I closely as possible to its ultimate mar
lket before being put through the rein
ing process.
4 With the rise in shipping rates to
! point where it costs as much as invent.
dollars ton to move sugar from Hone
lulu to New York, however, this facto
has become one of considerable impoi
ltance, and the prospect that the deman
for tonnage will continue greatly in e.
cess Of the supply for long time b.
You'd the end of the war makes it
consideration of added weight. Will
