Committee of Five Women
Headed BY Mrs. A. c. Alex
ander to Lead Movement e.

Arrangements to enlist the women
conservation were completed yeSter-
day afternoon when James D. Dole.
chairman of the territorial food COM
mission, perfected a committee of five
representative women of the city
which will take the lead in the move
ment.
Mrs. A. C. Alexander accepted the
Craftsmanship of the committee sew
eral days ago, and several Of the other
members have given up other import
ant local work in order to devote their
entire time to the campaign. The
food conservation movement Is to be
conducted by the food commission
through the committee OF women and
extensive publicity, by which the wo-
men of the entire territory will be
educated in food saving and economy.
I'VE are planning an organization
to impress upon every woman in Ha-
waii that it is he- patriotic duty, I'M
der present conditions, to help save
to as great an extent as possible the
food most demanded at the present
time" says Chairman Dole. This
means not only the food demanded
IN Hawaii, but the food demanded by
the entire United States and her AL
lies as well.
There Is no doubt that the women
Of the territory recognize the neces
sity of saving food, but there are
many of them who do not know how
to go about it," Chairman Dole con-
tfnued. eve must try to substitute
something raised here for something
brought in.
"If the housewife can substitute a
banana for a slice Of bread, IT will
relieve to a certain extent the de-
mand on the supply OF flour, much Of
which must go East and to Europe,
and the supply at present is none too
great" ....-...-.4..>>.. . :....

REGISTRATION IS
URGED ON MAUI

Sheriff Glen Crcwell, who is here
today from Maui, says that his island
is getting all preliminary work in
shape for registration on July 81.
Plantations and individuals are donat-
ing their services in fine spirit.
There are 81 regular precincts On
the island, says Crowell, and 1t Is
probable that subdivisions viii be ne
cessary to provide eight extra ones in
the larger districts. There are about
So registrars. School houses and halls
are to be used for registering places.
Sergeants from the National Guard
are also to be used on registration
day to help get In touch with men OF
military age, many of whom. have
been discharged from the guard un-
der the dependent family ruling and
are now subject to draft. CroweIl
says the central registration board
has been Of much help in this pre-
Hminary work. Sheriffs William Jar
rett and Rose ana Attorney Bevins
visited the registration board rooms
this morning with Crowell
E. r. Bevins, county attorney of
Maui, who is in Honolulu. on legal
business connected with the filing Of
an attachment suit on the Grand ho-
tel Of Wailuku, says that the Maui
board OF military registration made =
visit to all the principal points On
east Maui early this week to IN
form the residents as to the require
ments Of the registration law and to
secure voluntary registrars, clerks
and interpreters. a
Attorney Bevins was impressed as
legal adviser of the main registra-
ton board and at all the settlements
he delivered clear cut instructions as
to the necessity Of every male with
in the draft age to register. As
east Maui is encircied in most places
only by horse trails and automobile
traffic is impossible, the trip around
the island was made by sampan.

Food Commission Launches Campaign
Spreads "Lipe at Home" Propaganda
Women to Preach Conservation GOSPEL
Island of KahoolaWe May Be
Thrown Open for Raising
of Livestock

Decision to recommend to the board
Of agriculture and forestry that graz
ing permits be issued TO persons de-
string to raise livestock on the island
Of Kahoolawe, was reached at q meet
ing of the territorial food commission
today.
At the same time the commission
voted TO recommend that the 600 or
TOO goats now on the island be not
slaughtered wantonly, but used for
food purposes as far as possible.
Kahoolawe is a forest reserve and
is inhabited largely by goats, but the
commission il Of the opinion that
there ts sufficient cactus, pill grass
and glue there to furnish subsistence
Tor a limited number of cattle and
horses, between 400 and 500. ,"
The action taken today Is q part Of
the movement by the commission to
secure all unused pasture land in the
territory for grazing purposes with q
view to increasing the local meat sup
ply The board does not favor the
wholesale slaughter Of the goats when
they are removed to make room for
the cattle and horses, believing that
these animals will be useful as food
Aside from other staple fodder, it il
pointed out that the island abounds
in kiawe trees, the bean from which
forms an excellent stock food.
Another Recommendation to be made
by the commission Is that certain for.
est reserve lands In Waianae be let
out through grazing permits for the
raising Of stock In the opinion Of the
commission, there are areas In this
reserve which, II properly fenced,
could be used for grazing without dam
age to the forests.
The commission Is now making ar
raEgementss 70 take up with the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Co. the ques-
ton of reduced freight rates on all
foodstuffs shipped from the other is
lands to Honolulu and vice versa. A
material reduction in rates for such
produce already has been promised by
the Hawaiian Consolidated railroad.

its rules and regulations. The only
exception as to the application Of this
section Is found in Section 1878.
which provides that this chapter shall
not apply to any sheriff or deputy
sheriff; and shall NOT be construed to
require the examination of any per-
son employed on April 1, 1918, in eth
er the police or fire department Of

that the present chief of the fire de-
partment was employed on and prior
to April 4,y1913. BY its terms, the
chapter applies to each and every
member Of the fire department from
the top to the bottom. Such employees
who were In the department on April
4, 1913, or have since been appointed
according to the rules of the Civil
Service Commission can only be re.
moved under the provisions Of Sec.
ton 1875 Of the Revised Laws Of Ha.
wall, 1915, which provides, Whenever
any person in the police department

unnecessary at the present time, in
fact In order to remove HIM proceed
ings would have to be brought against
him because of inefficiency or some
other cause under the provisions of
Section 1876. So long as there Is no
cause for his removal, and so long as
he keeps said position during good be-

the mayor would have no more con-
troll over dismissal or over the APP

Al 8 o'clock this afternoon the MOT
felt got her wireless into working or
der again and Captain Pfeit sent =
message saying she will arrive Oft
port at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Fire which broke out In the engine
room Of the Standard Oil tank steamer
}. A. Moffett yesterday when the YES
sci was geo miles from Honolulu,
bound for this port from Los Angelec
harbor (San Pedro) with full cargo
of fuel oil for the Standard's local
agency, placed the big tanker in peril
for time. The fire, however, was ex.
tineuished and the vessel 10 again
steaning for this port today.
First news Of the fire reached Homo
lulu about Sis yesterday afternoon,
when a wireless message was received
here from the Matson liner Manoa,
which reported that she had picked Ut
a radiogram from a Pacific Man liner
saying the Moffett was on fire AMI
the Pacific Mail boat was standing By.
Shortly afterward the Manoa sent in
a second message, which said the liner
had reported the blaze, which the
radio said was in the1fire room, to
have been extinguished and that the
Moffett was again proceeding to Homo.
lulu under her own steam.
At midnight last night the q. 8.
lighthouse tender Columbine, Captain
Frank T. Warmer, left this port ,hur-
riedly under orders received from
Pearl Harbor naval station to go at
once to the oil tanker's assistance. It
was not believed this morning that the
Columbine's departure means the frs
has broken out again, but simply that
the lighthouse tender has gone 10
meet the tanker and see If she can be
Of any aid to her.
No wireless from the Moffet her
self had been received here up to
noon today, so that 1t is thought her
wireless set has been put out Of COM
mission by the fire, which may have
damaged the dynamo generating set
In the engine room, or In some other
way put the radio plant out Of bust
ness. b. ! * H.: = -.
In the first message received, the Moi.

from the steamer was "a degrees IL
