senate chamber at the capitol. Follow
ing the precedent established by
Washington there will be placed in
proper reCeTtacle there approximately
5000 gelatin capsules.
In each OF these capsules will be
placed a number, printed on paper,
and these numbers will run serially
from to approximately 5000. They
will be drawn from the receptacle one
at a time BY a blindfOlded person and
handed to an announcer, who will
open the capsule and read the number
aloud. The number SO read will be
recorded by three separate tally
clerks.
These capsule numbers are the num-
bers which have been attached TO
the registration cards in a serial or.
der. The registration cards have
been shufhed thoroughly before be-
ing numbered AS an example of how
the drawing will work out, Mr.. Green
cites the following:
John Smith, for instance, who may
have registered in the Fifth precinct
of the Fourth district, was given a
registration certificate which bore a
number which we will call IS.
This number IS has reference only
to the county registration organiza-
ton and is for the sole purpose Of
identifying his certificate
After the cards have been thor,
oughIy shuffied they will each re-
ceive a serial number, commencing
with one, and in this series of serials
the card Of John Smith may receive
a number which We will call $50. This
is called the red ink number.
When this number is drawn from
the receptacle and announced. the or.
der in which it is drawn will be the
order number for examination. In
other words, if this number $50 had
been in the Goth capsule drawn from
the receptacle, John Smith will be the
goth to report for examination in his
district, Similarly the other five men
with red ink number $50 in their dis.
tricts. will report as No. 20 each for
examination.

TEN new CARS
ORDERED FOR
RAP|D7RANSII

Ten new cars. to cost in the neigh.
borhood of $4,000, have been ordered
by the Honolulu Rapid Transit and
Land Co., and will be sent to Homo
lulu as quickly as they are completed.
Manager c. 6. Ballentyne is now on
the mainland attending to the con-
struction and shipping details.
These cars, designed by the nnHl.
pany, are similar to the type now
used on King street. but with few
new features. 1t is not known def
fnitely when they will arrive, but it
is anticipated they will be here H.
fore the end of the year. The new
cars will be placed On King street,
and one or two may be used en- Hotel
street later.
The fact that these cars will be
added to the system will cause no
change in the intervals at which the
cars now run. They will he used
largely to relieve congestion.
" A Rapid Transit official said today
that reports to the effect that the
company is unable to comfortably &C
commodate the passenger traffic have
been thoroughly investigated and
found to be entirely without founda-
ton.

price for imported sugar throughout
next year.
In order that sugar may reach the
dealer without intermediate specula-
tive profits between the producer and
the retailer, the Wholesale groCers OF
America have voluntarily agreed with
the food administration to limit dis
tribution charges in such a manner
as to eliminate the possibility Of spe-
culative or exorbitant profits, and the
food administration will be able at a
later date to announce the price at
which wholesale sugar should be de-
livered to the large consuming cen
tiers of the country. II will then be
for the consumers themselves to see
that they receive just treatment from
the retail dealer

1t Will be OF interest to the trade
to know that the price agreed upon
means 1925 cane sugar basis fob.
seaport refining points, such as New
York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Bos-
ton and San Francisco.
1t is the intention of the food ad,
ministratlon to adopt certain mea.
sures which will effectually assure
that this price shall not be exceeded
during the coming year even upon
imported sugar and it is hoped that
as soon as the Cuban crop is avail,
able, the price will be less than 1925
1t is desirable for the public to bear
in mind, the food administration
points out, that in order for the Al
lies to be supplied with sugar, from
the West Indies in place of their
usual source of supply, which is now
cut off, the public must reduce its
consumption of sugar by every means
possible. That there is room for re,
duction in consumption without hard
ship must be evident when we con
slider that the average American con.
sumption is about IS pounds per per,
son per annum, whereas the new sugar
regulations in England limit the con,
sumption to u pounds per person per
annum.
This year, the beet sugar crop will
not be moving freely in the country
before the first of October and there.
fore there will be a few weeks delay
before the reduced price becomes eff.
feotive. This affords an opportunity
for distributors and retailers to dis.
rcse of sugar purchased by them at a
higher cost level

New Scale Decided BY Shipping
Boards Calls for Cut OF

cation SerTiceI
WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. -
There will be an immediate reduction
in the ocean freight rates heinz
charged shippers on American vessels.
The reduction will be sweeping and
tn new rates will show a great cut
over these Aow in force.
This was announced yesterday. for
lowing the announcement that the
shippinb board proposed to assume at
once the control Of the rates to be
charged for freight on ocean-gins
craft under. the American flag.
The new scale decided upon by the
shipping board, to be put into force
with the least possible delay, calls
for reductions in the different classes
Of freight up to IS per cent in some
cases and tn not less than 90 per cent
in any case.
May Seize Idle NeutraIs
Because Of the requirements Of the
war and the necessity Of commander
ing many of the roomiest and fastest
Of American liners for transport and
supply purposes, shortage OF Ameri-
can bottoms for general purposes is
forseen.
This contingency is being seriously
considered by the shipping board,
which may eventually seize a large
number of the neutral vessels now tied
I'D in American ports unwilling to en-
ter the Atlantic trade for Europe
without exorbitant charters. The own
ers claim that the dangers of the bust
ness will not Justify them in accepting
anything but the highest Of freight
rates.
II is estimated that there are avail
able 100000 tons of such neutral ship
ping which the government may take
over. . :...-.... ..-..... e.
