HARDOR IS MADE

Commissioners Twist Screws On
Lid stu Tighter and Ask
For Military Guards

An extra twist TO ihe screws that
elemp the Nd on Honolulu harbor was
given by the board yesterday afternoon
when Il adopted additional restrictions
relating to the movements Of vessels
into, out Of and within the hatbor
The most important Of the new rules
10 that no vessel may leave the harhor
between half an hour after shutdown
and sunrise the next morning. A rule
adopted last week prohibited the en-.
trapce Of vessels after sunset but did
not prevent saihnes after that time:
Tie board also adopted a regulation
prohibiting any movement Whatsoever
within the haTbor, q any vessel no
matfer Of what size, with the exception
of the rowbQats Of vessels anchored 40
the stream.
The placing Of military guards on
Piers 2, Q, q, IL, ~, 10, IA, Is and 1d
from i've o'clock in the evening 70
seven o'clock in the morning was re-.
ghested BY the board, IL being stated
that the request had already been ten
tatively laid before General strong and
/ that he had said the board could have
an the guards IL needed
After i've o'clock in the AFTERNOON
nobody inny 60 upon any Of the terri
tofinl, wharves, except certain persons
specified, and they must be identified
BY certain persons appointed for that
purpose Stevedofes working cargo
may have access to the wharf, az mas
mcnibers Of the crews of vessels that
are working cargo, and the agents o.
such vessels, after they have beer
passed BY an agent Of the harbor board
These rules and regulations were
adopted by the board at the tlhird o.
three meetings held during Vie day. Al
one held In the morning there wer,
present representatives Of the varioul
shipping firms. All of them agreed /,
abide by whatever regulations tn,
board might impose to afford better pro
lection TO the port. on account Of thu
war situation.

/
than could be immediately filed by
the awaiting list. The question Of
passing the physical examination, 80
much more stringent in the Regular
forces than in the militia, is also one
that comes up for consideration and
regular army officers point TO the ek-
petieuce Of the milton at the time Of
the Spanish American war when fully
thirty per cent Of the guard proved
unfit for active service in the holds
They are disposed TO believe that at
least twenty percent Of the guard q
strength would be lost through this
cause alone. W
fIfty Per cont Margin N
IF this should prove the case that
would mean that the Hawaii guard
would be mustered into the federal
service about three thousand to thirty
Ave hundred strong, OF with q fifty per
cent margin over and above the total
quota demanded Of the Territory by
the terms Of the Army Bill--at least
for the first contingent Of five hundred
thousand men.
In the meantime, while these and
other speculations are engaging the at
tention of the guardsmen and regulars
here, headquarters is hard at work pre-
pairing for any contingency. Naturally
the officials there are not making pub
lie any Of these plans as they are
without exception depsndent upon the
action Of congress- and the instructions
which the war department. mhy issue.
So far we have had no instructions
from Washington and until we do we
shall be compelled to1malk softly,'l said
General Strong yesterday afternoon.
We are making whit preparations
we can. That is an that 1 can say at
present ~ " 49, stf s'A "

item providing the salary Of the chief

raised from $3.50 70 SITS a month on an
amendment offered by Representative
Paschoal which the house agreed to
after Chairman Cooke said it would be
al right.
when Paschoal presented his amend.
ment there were fears that he was
opcning wide the door for other
amendments which, had not Speaker
Holstein been so expeditions in putting
the measure to rollcall would prob
ably mean innumerable amendments
and entail probably several more days
OF consideration before IL could be re-
turned to the senate, where the bill
originated this session.
AS II Is, the measure is Considerably
changed from what It was when IL
came from the senate week ago yes

SHORT
 AT ANCHORAGE
Shortage on Inlet Same as Here and As Result Railroad Crews
 ShOrt-handed

The labor situation in Anchorage, especially with the A. E. C., stands about the same as for the past two months. There is a constant call for from 50 to 100 laborers on station work, but these places are not being filled because few men are coming in. The shortage is both apparent and real, for more men could be used were they available, but not being obtain able, the work is going on with the present forces.
 There are many in the vicinity who are without work, but these are men who want something better than sta tion labor. The trainmaster is daily besieged with dozens of applicants for positions as brakemen and trainmen, while clerks, warehousemen and people for trained or responsible positions are ahead of the demand.

R.R. CONTRACTOR
 IS SONG WRITER
Latest Success Published by Seattle Music House for Nenana
 Man

"To an Idol. A ballad. Words and Music by Robert NJ. Crawford, com poser of My Northland,' etc"
 Those are the words on the fly leaf of a piece of new sheet music just published by the Echo Music company, of Seattle. They mean that Robbie" Crawford, son of Mir. and Mrs. R. M. Crawford, of Fairbanks, who is now a contractor on the Alaska government railroad near Nenana, has made an- other song writing success. Some time during his spare moments last sum- mer he wrote the song. He sent it to the music publishers last fall, and it has just been issued in sheet music form.
 At the top of the first inside page is stated, "To My Friend, Miss Ida McCready," who young Crawford met while attending school during the sev- cral years he was Outside. She re- sides in Seattle and is said to bC worthy of all of the praise which has been bestowed upon her. What the young author thinks of her is best de- Scribed in the following lines of "TO an Idol:"
 Oft in the wilds of my Northland
 home
 Dreams come, dreams of thee; Sending my love and my thoughts to
 roam
 Across the seas to thee. Idol, our hearts entwine, dear, at loves
 own door,
 Though parting holds the key. Your image, dear, and those dear
 brown eyes,
 Cups carved in golden memories. Oft in the wild's silent call I hear LiSt'ning for thee,
 Loves still, small voice sounding
 sweet and clear Come back, come back to me- 1 Idol, love but the hand of one divine And true as Heaven is true Could ever from those dear eyes of
 thine
