SUGAR may NOT
Be CONTROLLED
BY WASHINGTON
But Federal Control Would Not
Be at Price to Discourage
Production, Says Cooke

II certain amendments now pend
ing in congress go through sugar will
be eliminate rom the list Of commo-
dities it is proposed to place under the
control of the federal government at
least for the period of the war. Fro
viding there is to be no federal con-
troll of sugar. some voluntary system
of control undoubtedly will be agreed
upon by the producers and refiners.
These are opinions expressed TO-DAY
by William G. Cooke, manager Of the
New York office of Alexander & Bald
win, who arrived in the steamer Maui
TO spend a week in the islands. He
leaves for nahuku this afternoon and
on Saturday he plans to go to Maui,
returning to Honolulu the following
Tuesday.
The amendments proposed by the
senate eliminate sugar from among
a number Of commodities over which
the government would have the power
to buy and sell" says Mr.. Cooke. The
house bill gave the government con-
troll of practically all foodstuffs, but
the senate bill cuts the controlling
feature down to a specific number
Of commodities, sugar not being men
toned among these. However, this
legislation is still pending in congress,
and am unable to say definitely what
has happened since left the East
Providing there is to be federal con-
troll Of sugar, Mr.. Cooke thinks the
price fixed by the government will de-
pend largely upon the cost Of produc-
ton in sugar-producing countries.
Under this plan. however, do not
believe anyone will be discouraged
from making sugar" Mr.. Cooke con-
tinues. The price would not be so
low as to bring about that condition.
While l am unable to fix a definite
estimate, | am inclined to believe the
price would not be under five cents;
probably somewhere between five and
seven cents.
In case the bill before congress
does not go through allowing govern
ment control Of sugar, believe a GER
tain degree Of control would be ef
fected by voluntary action of pro-
ducers and refiners. 1t has been ap-
parent that Mr. Hoover. federal food
controller, has been intending to re-
quest some voluntary control if the
law did not back him."

Chiefs Spirit Burns
In Old Mems Breasts
Who Would Serve j. S.

The spirit which carried the
warriors of Kamehameha to vic
tory and made it possible for the
great leader to conquer all the
islands of the Hawaiian group
burned brightly in the breasts of
three old Hawaiians who arrived
from the fishing grounds off Mo-
lokai in Honolulu early yester-
day, filled with Latriotism and a
keen desire to serve their coun-
try. When David Kalauokalani,
county clerk, reached the city hall
this morning he found them wait
ing outside the door ready to
register under the selective draft
law. All were over so years of
age and one had easily seen so
summers for his hair was white
and his face deeply wrinkled.
When Kalauokalani told them that
only young men were wanted dis
appointment was written on their
faces.
The three fishermen had left
Molokai Monday evening and sail
ed all night in their small fishing
board in order to reach Honolulu
on time only to find that it was
men young in years as we'll as
spirit who were wanted. They
had gone to the county clerks
office because, to them, it was
the natural place to register.

BACK FROM EAST

How intensely the seriousness OF
the war IL viewed can only be gained
by conversations with the big bust.

states, thinks Attorney w. B. Lymer,
who returned with Mrs. Lymer from 6

That the country 10 preparing for

Attorney Lymer went TO New York
City IN connection with suit which
was brought by New York contractors
for claim Of $4,000 against Col z.

big building In Portland, Ore. Tha
claim was first allowed by a lower
court, but Attorney Lymer secured a
reversal Of the decision and an order

While In New York City, Attorney
Lymer met Senator O'Gorman, who

RODIEK resigns
AS PRESIDENT OF
SUGARPkANTERS
fContinued from page ~

and F. A. Schaefer None Of them
would comment upon the resignation
except to state il was accepted De
cause Rodiek had urged 1t.
The presidency as customary
thing rotates among the executives
OF the big sugar agencies, and IN tne
usual course Of events Tenney Woulo
have been elected TO succeed Rodiek
at the next annual meeting OF the
trustees in November or December
The fiscal year of the association runs
from October TO September 3d. Dut
the annual meeting is held as rule
a month or SO later than the end OF
the business year. Tenney has oeen
president Of the association number
of times in the past, the last time be-
ing in 1910-1911.
It is understood also that RodleX
has also resigned as a vice-president
of the Sugar Factors.
Whatever the outcome Of the
charge against M. Rodiek, l believe
he has resigned because he did not
wish to cause the members OF the
Hawaiian Planters association an
embarrassment while he is under sns'
pic!on," said J. F. c. Hagens, vice
president Of EackfcId & Co., this
morning when asked If he had any
comment to make upon the Rodlek
resignation. Hagcns says he has re-
eeived no communication from Ro-
dick regarding his difficulty since he
left here. II hardly expect him to
write to me about it. He always at
tended to his consular duties as pri-
vate business and 1t had no connection
with the general business Of the firm,
Hagens added.
He also ventured the surmise that
Rodiek has not had time to cornmuni-
cate by letter with Honolulu people
since he was arrested and released
on $4,000 bail after reaching San
Francisco. He points out that the
Maui sailed from San Francisco the
day after Rodiek was taken into Gus
tody after reaching the coast. The
Maui passengers had heard rumors be-
fore leaving San Francisco Of Rodieks
arrest, but had no confirmation Of 1t
until they reached here this morning.
Heinrich August Schroeder, former
consular clerk to Rodiek and an en-
ploye Of the Hackfeld company, who
was jointly indicted with Rodiek and
1913 others by the San Francisco fed
eral jury, did not leave for the coast
yesterday as it was stated he would,
but was attending to his usual duties
this morning.

I would willingly write a personal let
ter of thanks to every man, woman;

M'CANDLESS TO
LOSE PROPERTY

Legal steps leading to the sale by
public auction Of the property owned
by l.. L. McCandless on Beretania
and Smith streets for failure to pay
the frontage improvement assess
ments, are now being taken by the
city attorneys office and the notice
of sale will be posted within a day
or two.
The attorneys have found on inves
tigation that under the lease by which
the property is leased to Chinese, the
lessees are supposed to pay all as
sessments and McCandless was not
bound to pay it himself. This fact,
however, does not protect the proper
ty from sale or McCandless from loo
ing il.
