HONOLUlU ASKED

Senator George p. Cooke of Molo-
kai this afternoon introduced In the
upper house bill to provide $4,000
for a territorial fair to be held in
Honolulu during the present year, and
annually thereafter.
The bill proposes that commission
to be known as the Fair Commission" "
be named by the governor This body
shall consist of three men.
This commission would be authoriz-
ed and empowered to sell space in the
fair grounds for concessions and to
charge reasonable admissions.
Authority to grant premiums. med
ais. ribbons and prizes for the best
exhibit of mechanical. live stock. agri-
cultural or horticultural type is also
given them.
Cooke will boost his plan enthusias-
tically as he is a strong believer In
such gatherings. He says ranchmen
Of Maui and Hawaii win back him as
well.
Fairs of, this kind are another step
toward preparedness" he said today.
Hawaii needs training In the produc-

such exhibits will stimulate diyersi-

Infantry. National Guard, has tender
ed his resignation to take effect

This order came as q surprise to
both regular and National Guard Off

Col Coxton IL well liked in the guard.
He viii. however. remain as instruct
or and inspector of the guard.
Col. Croxton handed his resignation
in today to Governor L. e. Pinkham
and II was accepted.
This leaves q vacancy In the LIST
Infantry which will now have to be
filled by one of the officers OF the

gested for the position and 1t will
probably be several days before the

SEEKS TO MOVE
GERMAN ships

German refugee ships now at this
port should be removed from the har-
Dor. and the request for this action
should be made to the board of harboF
commissioners.
This, In effect, is the text of res
olution introduced in the house today
by Representative Bernard Kelekolio,
who backed up his measure with
flaming address on the floor. He said
attempts have been made to destroy
the boats and that further efforts to
destroy them would constitute me
mace focthe harbor.

Speaker. I feel that this house ought
to take some action" he said. I'VE
all know that the Germans have al.
ready tried to injure their ships while
In the harbor here few weeks ago ON
instructions from their home govern:
ment. and they will repeat the same
stunt again when they are Instructed,
all for love of their mother country.
This is not time to laugh. This
is a serious question. ! don't object
to the Germans blowing up their ships
out in mid-0eean. but to try to sink
their ships while alongside OF our
piers in Honolulu harbor, I certainly
object. These people will do anything
in case of break, not only sinking
their ships or injuring them beyond
repair. but they may go even further
and destroy the different wharves in
Honolulu harbor. We must do some
thing to protect our harbor, and with
that end in view, ! have introduced
this resolution. /"
Representative Lyman suggested
that the refugee ships be moved to
sHilo There was a general laugh at
this remark.
The resolution was referred to the
military committee.
