HAWAII GETS LOAN OF
$4,000 FROM TERRITORY
tspscial ar-Bulletin Correspondence. }

HILO, Oct. S.-Twenty-four thou
sand ~dollars at 2 per cent was the
loan made by the county of Hawaii
from the territory of Hawaii this
week, and another $4,000 will be Dor
rowed at the end of this month. The
$4,000 will have to De repaid when
the county is fat" with the proceeds
of the dividend which IS tc be OBJ
tanned from the distribution of tax
receipts in November.
Act y, session laws, 1917, author.
ICES any county to borrow up 10 one
fifteenth of the amount of taxes col
.lected during the month prior to the
date of the application for the loan
The interest is set by the act at :
per cent and repayment must he made
at the end of the semiannual settle
ment of taxes, which in the particular
case of the county of Hawaii will
mean that the $4,000 will have to be
repaid on December 81, 1917.
The county will have 10 redeem all
its registered warrants and also re-
pay the territorial loan when the
time comes and that will doubtless
be a heavy drain on the finances OF
the treasury.

POPULAR MALE
STAR At HAWAII

Each producer of photOdramatic
films has at least one male star who
has been made" popular with the
theater-gOers OF the United States and
probably of the world. Many OF them
have more than one and realize that
male star can prove equally as good a
drawing card as one Of the opposite
sex. Such a star is George Walsh OF
the Fox Film Corporation, whose offer
ings are regularly featured during the
latter part of each week at the Hawaii
theater
For the performance of this evening
at the Hawaii, George Walsh will be
the star, his offering being Melting
Millions" wealthy sounding title and
one that presages play in which dol
lars are distributed most freely. From
all advance information this offering
is mostly comedy, although there must
be heavier scenes for the reason that
a boxing bout is staged and be it re.
marked, George Walsh is considerable
of an athlete, his prowess including
the nifty handling of boxing gloves.
Playing opposite to Walsh is Anna

international socialist circles are graf

becoming firmly established with the
power Of the socialist extremists very
small compared to that of those who
favor a lasting rather than a patched :
up peace. A report is current that the
expected conference of unofficial Rus

miss no chance Of making their in
flusnce felt in the eventual reorganiza-
ton of Europe.
No program is drawn for the con-
