the Argentine navy was issued late to-
day by the minister of marine. .
While no forr al declaration of war
has been issued by the government,
events Of the past few. days and the
unusual activity in governmental and
military circles indicate that Argen-

on behalf of the Entente Allies, due to
the exposure by the United States of
the duplicity of Germany in using the

cuSed Murderer Now in Jail

nNE Filipino woman was
" shot and killed and a Fill
pino man was shot In the back
and dubbed over the head with
a revolver in a shooting scrape
at WATERFOWL, near Puuloa,
this morning. Erino Quail
ense, a Filipino laborer, was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Fer
nandez shortly after the crime
was committed and is held at
police headquarters here for
investigation. He will prob
ably be charged with first de-
gree murder.
The man who was shot in the back
is named Gemo, and about the only in
formation the police have secured so
far Is that the affray was the result
of a quarrel over the affections Of
the dead woman.
According to several witnesses who
we're brought into headquarters, Du.
jailonse was infatuated with the wom-
an. The woman, however, seemed 70
care more for Gemo, and early this
morning, Dujailonse, II Is alleged, en-
tered Gemo's home as he was sitting
down to breakfast. Dujailonse, with
out any apparent reason, started for
- NH as.. ..r>r,sx.
After heated argument the man pull
ed .Ss caliber revolver from his
coat and shot the woman dead.
Gemo started for the man and tried
70 wrest the weapon from him, but
DujaiIonse is said to have dubbed the
former on the head. Gemo fought
until weakened and overcome he loos.
ened HIS grip on Dujailonse. The Lat.
ter, according to neighbors, turned the
gun on Gemo and shot him In the
Aack.
The crowd which had gathered pre-
vented Dujailonse' escape until the Of
ficer arrived. Gemo was rushed to
the emergency hospital where, after
let Is lodged IN his back. When ques-
toned at the hospital. Gemo did not
know whether or not he had been
shot, but q bullet, hole in his shirt
and back, with powder stains sprink.
led around, caused the surgeons to
probe for the bullet.

the available balance in the general
fund were used for this purpose. Ac.
cording to this plan $27,805.51 could
be spent every month for road main
tenance, making total of $685., 666 for
the year. -....
The statement of tn general fund
shows that the amount on hand ON
January / minus the usual deduction
ror cash basis fund, olice, fire and
bandsmen pension fund, should be
1851, 900. The permanent improvement
fund after the usual deductions should
have $680,000 on hand and must be
expended as follows: y for concrete
roads, $4,000; 1I3 for water and
sewer extensions, $216,666; 1f12 for
road maintenance, $56,667, and 1/12
for other permanent improvement,
$56,667. ~" @s-
There is possibility that even more
money will be available for road work
in 1918; the last legislature having
passed an act which fixed the rate of
taxation at 1.80 per cent and the resi-
due for next years levy, after deduct
ing the amount required for the gen.
eral fund and the territorial budget
will go to the permanent improvement
fund, which fund shall also receive
all additional taxes on over $110 ,00O, 900
and shall stand all delinquent taxes.
According to the tentative outline of
next years finances Honolulu appears
to be in fair way to having pros.
porous year bearing in mind the
amount on hand for expenditure for
road building, Improvement and main
tenance.

With the southern gridiron suprem- acy practically decided, few important games mark the calender of events for Saturday. Although no games which will have any direct bearing on the championship will be fought. some in teresting clashes are in prospect.
 Probably the game which will hold the interest of the southern fans will be the clash of Auburn and Vanderbilt at Nashville. Then, the Georgia Tech and Carlisle Indians game at Atlanta will also control an appropriate share of enthusiasm.
 When the Commodores and Plains men meet, one of the best games of the season in southern circles can be ex- pected. The Commodores are not up to the standard this season, by far, while the crushing defeat of the Plainsmen Saturday at the hands of little David son demonstrated that Coach Donahue's machine is not as strong as previous 1y predicted.

 Central and Fayette have been un- able to get together for game thus far. The only chance for a game now is after the regular football season closes. Central is member of the A. L. A. A. Fayette is not. This is one of Centrals real objections for a. refusal for post-season game for the state honors.
 game between Central and Fayette would be big drawer here. Each team is exceedingly strong for usual high school aggregations, and with great rivalry,f ( bloody battle would undoubt- edly be staged.
