- UIET Investigations are apparent.
ly under way regarding the con-
u duct of and privileges extended to
the German ship officers and seamen
internedhat Schofield Barracks.
= That the informed Germans, and es-
pecially the officers, are enjoying ex'
ceptionally wide liberty for prisoners
of war and that on several occasions
officers have been allowed to come
to Honolulu without escort is the gist
of reports which have been received
by the Star.Bulietin at various times
recently.
Tales have been heard of purported
secret meetings between German Of
ficers and civilians, apparently from
Honolulu. in the gulches about the
reservation, during which, the reports
say, papers have been exchanged.
Information given this paper by
the head Of a local Industrial concern
is that the first intimation that some
thing was wrong came when an air
pipe on a pineapple car on spur
track near Cashier station was found
plugged with a piece of wood which
had, from appearances, been whitfield
from a large stick and then cut Oft.
An investigation was made. he says,
and shortly after a chunk of wood
was found, from which, it was be.
lieved, the plug had been cut. One
report reaching this paper was that
the plug had been traced to the camp
of the interned Germans.
The same man Is authority for the
report that recently a coil was stol-
en- from a private telephone owned
by a pineapple concern operating near
Schofield Barracks. One theory ad.
vauced as to the value Of such a coil
is that it might be used for the con-
struction Of telephone "sounder" or
receiver.
Officials OF the Oahu Railway &
Land Co. say they have no knowledge
Of the plugging of the air pipe on a
pineapple car at Dole's siding, but ad-
NIT they we're informed Of the theft
of the coil in the private telephone,
although the report came to them to
the effect that the instrument has
been put out Of commission.
One discovery made by the railroad
vecently, however, was a piece Of
wood, having the appearance of the
butt end of a buggy whip, inserted
in the rubber air hose on the end Of
a freight car at Hama. The piece Of
wood was found VIXEN a brakeman was
connecting up the air hose on string
Of cars.
Nothing suspicious is attached to
this discovery, the railroad officials
say, as the plug Of wood might have
been placed there by children play
ing around the tracks.
Another report reaching the Star.
Bulletin is that inter1ed Germans
have been seen lettering along the
road near the barracks apparently in
terested in passing automobiles.

II nth a view to materially broad
w ening its scope Of work, the ter
w ritorial food commission, at a
meeting at 8 O'Clock. tomorrow morn
ing, VIII appoint committee which,
in the future, will handle all prob
lens pertaining to labor and labor
conditions. The committee probably
viii consist Of four or five members,
men well acquainted with local labor
problems.
The necessity Of the committee is
due to the fact that, at the present
time, there is a lack Of labor for the
rice industry. A Hebard Case, agent
for the commission on Kauai, recently
reported that the rice crop on the
Garden Island will be unusually large
this year. In 1915, he says, more
than 400 additional acres of land will
be available for planting rice, but that
the lack Of labor to work the fields
is proving serious problem. The
lack Of labor for the rice fields will
be one of the first investigations
made by the new committee.
"Mr. Cases recommendations have
got to be taken care Of" says J. F.
Child, assistant executive otrlcer OF
the commission, and the commission
feels that this can best be done by
the appointment Of separate COM
mittee."
The recommendation that the COM
mission enforce compulsory spraying
of potatoes throughout the territory,
in order to rid the fields Of blight
and borers, will also be discussed to-
morrow. The commission may ar
thorize the purchase of apparatus to
take care of this work.
An attorney Is to be appointed to
take the place Of A. L. Castle, exc
cutive officer, on the legal commit
tee. Attorneys w. L. Whitney and R,
B. Anderson are among those recon-
mended to fill the vacancy. A new
chairman of the marketing commit
tee will also have to be appointed.
No other changes in committees are
contemplated.

ARSENAL BLAST KILLS TWO
Fatal Accident in Shell PIant-score
injured.

Philadelphia-Tw workmen were
killed and more than q score OF per.
sons we're injured in an explosion at
the Frankford arsenal in this city
early Saturday.
According to workers. the explosion
was accidental, there being nothing
TO indicate that Il was caused by an
outside agency.
The explosion occurred in one of
three small buildings known as deto.
mating dry rooms, where the primer
caps for three and six-inch shells and
small arms cartridges are dried. The
building had its walls packed with
cinders and every precaution was ia.
ken to prevent accidents.
Fire followed the explosion and
spread to several other small buildings
known as the artillery assembly unit.
In these there we're three and six-inch
shells, but prompt work of arsenal en-
ployes and city firemen saved the
buildings and their contents from de.
struction.

FURiOUGH FOR HARVEST DENiED
Army Officials Refuse Request for
Temporary Release.

Mobilization Camp, Grayling-The
Omitted States army officially has ruled
that the training of man-power for SER
vice in the trenches comes ahead Of
harvesting crops in the United States.
Not long ago, patriotic mother
wrote to Colonel Ambrose c. Pack, of
the Thirty-first. asking him whether
her son, who is in the Thirty-first.
could be allowed a furlough during
October and November to help her
harvest her celery crop.
The woman explained that one OF
her expert workers had been drafted
and her husband was sick and unable
to help. The request was put wholly
on the grounds OF shortage OF help. She
did not ask that her son be discharged;
she explained that she was patriotic
enough to want him to go to war, but
she thought she was doing her country
a service in asking for his expert help
in harvesting her celery.
Colonel Pack made a thorough in
vestigation OF the case, found the
facts to be as stated by the woman.
and recommended the tvo-month fur.
Tough be granted
The central department however
has turned down the recommendation
with the comment that the grounds
are insufficient.

BIG TAX BILL PASSES SENATE
Designed to Raise s2,5co, ooo, ooo-Now
Goes to Conference.

Washington-The s2,500.000, 900 war
revenue bill was passed by the senate
Monday by a vote of 50 to f.
Taxation is imposed upon the war
excess profits by a graduated scale
based on the difference between an
average of profits taken during the
three pre.war years, and the profits
of 1917.
This scale is graduated. The mini
mum tax on profits up to Is per cent,
is IL per cent. The maximum tax on
profits in excess Of 500 per cent is 60
per cent.
Income taxes are also graduated
ranging from ! per cent on $1,000 IN
comes TO so per cent on incomes of
over $1,000 900.
Liquor and wine taxes are also
raised.
In the last hours of the passage of
the bill, the consumption taxes upon
coffee, tea, sugar and cocoa were cut
out. So were the postal increases on
second class mail matter which would
have affected chiefly newspapers and
magazines.
AT the last moment, Senator Brande-
gee, OF Connecticut, succeeded in hav-
ing operation of the big bill confined
to the duration OF the war
The bill now goes to conference be-
tween the house and senate, where
the differences will be threshed out. 1t
is hoped that within fortnight all
matters of dispute will have been ad-
justed and the president will be able
to affix his signature and convert the
proposed taxation into law.
