NAVAL MILITIA
NEEDS ARMORY

Senator ]. II. Coney, chairman Of
the senate military committee. has
made up his mind that Hawaii's Naval
Militiamen shall have q proper arm
DRY in which TO drill. coney said this
morning that this is one OF the propo-
sitions which he viii favor strongly
in his committee -. ....~
Coney was much impressed with the
parade yesterday and as much as any
with the showing of the Naval Militia.
He remembered that the only place
the group of boys in natty white uni
forms has to drill is the Old Bungalow
The military committee chairman
expressed the belief today that the
ancient structure is unsafe for large
gatherings of men. ....-.... -.
We had a public hearing there on
some question last session." he
says. tand was in mortal fear all the
time that the place would collapse
with the crowd 1t certainly can't be
a very safe place for men to drill
Ceney believes that practically all
of the requests for armories will go
through the legislature. These things
are needed, he says, and are cheap in
comparison to the use they may be
put to-. 49,"
What about the governors request
ed contingent fund?" he was asked.
/ Il expect to see it cut down-way

APPORTIONMENT
OF LEGISLATORS
!. AGAIN COMES UP
Senate Committee is Consider
ing Representation; Castle
May Have Solution


As a solution to that bothersomt
question Of legislative reapportion
ment, Senator A L. Castle, chairman
OF the senate judiciary committee, &c
day declared himself in favor OF the
introduction Of a concurrent resolution
petitioping congress to amend the Or
eanic Act.
Castles suggestion was made in q
meeting Of the judiciary committee
where the question of reappoftion
Iaent had been brought up by the con
sideration of Senator Pachecos appor'
tionment bill Castle asserted that
the plan he would propose to congress
as q change from the present act
would be TO leave the number OF sen.
ators the same as now but increase
the number of representatives, maxim.
a larger total in the lower house.
ADOPT Congressional Plan
Il would follow in general the sys.
tenn in the United States congress,
said the senator, where the number
OF senator's remains unchanged but
the Representatives increase with the
general population
ITO my mind this is fairer than TAX
ing from one island TO add to another
which would be the result OF reappoTs
tIonment as proposed in the Organic
Act"
Al the conclusion OF considerable
good-natured debate the Pacheco bill
was laid aside 10 think II over. The
consensus OF opinion was that its
threshing out at the present time
would stir both house and senate with
hot fighting.
Pacheco's plan, It was understood
by the committee, was to eqnalize
power by reapportioning for represen-
tatives only but il developed that this
was not the provision of the federal
act
Senator Coney Of Kauai declared the
act is obsolete. Congress intended
for the first legislature after 1910 to
lieved, and Just because certain Fill.
bnstererss had prevented its passage
he saw no reason why the present one
should take up task obviously nos
its own.
coney stroked mis- CRAVING hairs and
smiled at memory OF the famous ses-
sion. 1T was a great old fight" he
said.
'swell. this says from, time TO time
thereafter" Chairman. Castle pointed
out. AS a man from Oahu Id have
70 sign minority report amending
the first section Of Pacheco's bill so
as TO follow the federal act couldn't
agree with the rest Of You to table II
entirely.
Senators Makekau and Kamauoha of
Hawaii were silent and smiling, but
Senator Robinson OF Maui had an idea
all his own that the Organic Act al.
lows increasing legislators from one
island but never decreasing them.
You cant lose what you've already
got. said Robinson. but you can add
to it. Don't you see?"
None OF the others did and the bill
was finally laid aside TO be taken mp
ut later meeting.

WIRELESS PLANS
TO Go FORWARD

J.. A. Balch, treasurer and manager
of the wireless department of the Mu.
tual Telephone Company. came home
today with the welcome announce
ment that despite proposed legislation
that had threatened the life of his
company he is sure the Mutual COM
pany would continue its policy OF inn
provement and expansion in step with
the times. -E
A successful meeting of wireless
telegraph men from all over the Unit
ed States at Washington, d. c., in
which Balch's part to show the house
committee the gross injustice of the
wireless bill 1t WIS considering, al
though he modestly assumes little
credit. the local man worked untir-
ingly and the bill died with assur
ances from its navy sponsors that only
government ownership would be pro-
posed in another bill to be introduced
the next session. This he does not
believe will pass. He was gone a
month and was thanked by Secretary
Daniels OF the navy for the offer OF
the entire plant and personnel of the
Mutual company when negotiations
with Germany were severed.
Daniels told BaIch that government
ownership would come eventually but
this will not discourage the local con-
Germ. Baleh says Honolulu shall have
the best service possible to give and
that as soon as wireless telephony is
perfected we shall have that. too. Now
il is IN the experimental stage.

TOURISTS CARRY OWN
HOTELS ON TRAILERS
Novel Scheme Finds Favor
Among Northern Motorists
Planning Summer Trips.

Touring for 1917 will be the real
motoring feature of tho year. All
eyes are turned now to the country
and everyone is making plans. In
gatherings OF motorists seen at the
clubs, in the hotels and along tho
streets, the talk is OF the place to so.
Indications point to a wonderful tour
ing season ahead.
one Of the strongest OF these indi-
cations came in the statement OF n
Chicago advertising man who han
dies the account OF n company which
manufactures trailers of every size to
attach TO the rear of cars. These
trailers carry tent, camping outfit and
everything necessary to pleasant
road side Aop, and while not so much
In use until very recent years promise
to be most popular with the tourists
during 1917. The Chicagoan said the
company did not dare advertise. as
the demands already made for tho
1917 season so far exceeded eXpecta-

OLD D0BBIN'S DAYS
ARE NOW NUMBERED
Figures Compiled in Califor-
MIA Shows Him to be on
Decline.

Old Dobbin is on the toboggan and
is doomed to extinction in southern
California. according to figures COM
piled ny the automobile editor of u
local publication. The records of tho
county assessors office were taken
and these show that there are less
than half the number OF horses In
the county N 1916 than there were
In 1900, while the number OF autos
has increased from six TO 79.l46.
The growth Of motor vehicle usage
I'm this section probably has been
faster than In any other, owing to
there being no closed season on auto
travel and the fact tbat the good
roads system is moro highly de-
Nelppcd than anywhere In the world.
In 1900 there were 47,000 horses
valued at $6,00O,0O0 on the county
assessors books. There were just six
autos valued at Ss.400
The next ten years reduced the
number of horses to $1,000 having n
value of s3,OOO,O00. The horse still
outnumbered the autos which In
that year numbered 1000, having a
value of sl6, 100000.
During the past six years Old Dob
bins family has been failing apprcci-
ably, there being only 10000 of him
on the county books, while nearly four
times that many autos, valued at
nearly $100.00O,0O0 are recorded.

WAR WILL REDUCE OUTPUT
OF AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES
Need of Mechanics In Government
Service Added To Material
Shortage

The prediction made by eminent
market statisticians that there will be
n labor famine this summer bears
much of interest to the man about
to purchase motor car. In this con-
nection communication recently re-
ceived sheds some light on just how
the labor situation In many of the
large automobile factories will be af-
fected.
The men who make castings and
forgings as well as those who do ex-
pert machining on motors and parts
are without a doubt the best fitted
men for ammunition factories in the
country. barring only those already
employed at shell and gun making.
The next few months Will undoubt-
edly see large number Of men em-
ployed at making shells, guns and tor
pedoes who are now making automo-
biles, and the automobile manufacture
er will be obliged to curtail produce
tion until he can secure a sufficient
number Of skilled men to man his fac
tories.
This Is certain to result in a greater
shortage in automobiles than ever
and working together with several
other causes, will make new automo-
biles very difficult to get during tho
coming months.
