WASHINGTON. March 27.--A force or
$4,000 National Guardsmen was added
to-day to the units already called out to
guard private and Government property.
The new contingent was obtained by the
Presidents order that the muster out OF
all National Guard organizations now in
the Federal service be suspended.
As originally given out at the War
Department, the list OF troops retained
in Federal service contained a number
OF units which already had been mus
tered out. Department officials explained
tonight that reports of the completion
of the mastering out formalities had been
late in reaching them. Troops dis
charged from Federal service as late as
to-day included the Third North Caro-
lima and First Mississippi Infantry, which
thus escape further Federal duty until
another formal call is issued. To-day >
order will not affect any troops mus
tered out before instructions to hold
them arrived.
It was the third call for militia troops
within three days. When those called
out by the previous orders are recruited

the number will total $4,000. although

Rates LNEFFECT

Since the Injunction secured by the
public utilities commission prohibiting
the InterIsland Steamship Co. from
raising its rates has been dissolved.
tie new schedule OF rates announced
as to 60 into effect on October have
been reestabltshed by the company.
The new schedule had been in force
only a few days when the Injunction
was secured which caused the COM
pany to go back to a freight and pas
senger tariff in effect in 1918.
Before a hearing in the case could
be secured a period Of about 50 days
elapsed during which the company OF,
fictals maintain they lost many thou
sand dollars, or about Is per cent OF
the gross business OF the company.
When objection is made to the new
rates, which makes the fare to island
points about IS cents to 81 more
than formerly, it is pointed out that
the Inter-lsland raise Of rates Is only
about 10 or Is per cent, although the
shipping board has increased the
freight rate between San Francisco
and Honolulu nearly 100 per cent

Honolulu, T. H., Dec 20, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Like a thunder clap out OF
clear sky, came the notification to
myself last week that | had been
charged-after a secret hearing before
grand jury and Of which l knew
nothing-with having performed a
criminal operation in violation of my
oath as a medical practitioner early in
September of this year To this charge
| have with the utmost sincerity and
solemnity plead not guilty waving
any legal objections and only claim
ing my right to a, speedy jury trial
so that my innocence can be estab-
lished.
ITO my surprise and horror it has
seemed that the press Of this city,
not only have taken it for granted
that I must be guilty Of this Infamous
charge; but have proceeded in every
way-by editorial comment and other
wise to stir up feeling in the COM
munity against me, and daily l see
my name in editorial comment held
up to shame and degradation. l am
informed that for reasons beyond my
control, trial Of my case cannot be
had until some time next year. Does
this mean that editorial comment, with
innuendo and surmise, may be printed
daily for weeks which may result in
influencing the minds Of my fellow.
men, who are later to sit in judgment
over me as jurymen?
ut seems to me that in a COM
munity supposed to be American in
spirit-a spirit which is famous for
its love of fair plaE-that if that
American spirit of fair play is not in
herent in the newspapers of this city,
a law should be passed prohibiting
any such comments regarding cases
before trial which result in prejudic.
ing a community against an innocent
man. l am more than willing that
when my case comes to trial, the full
est publicity shall be given the same
and l ask for the suppression Of moth.
ing, merely for an ordinary display
of fair play in giving both sides of
this matter to the public.
Il am Informed by my lawyers that
should not give any interviews or
present my case, except in the public
courts; but / cannot refrain from this
explanation to you and to my fellow
citizens, asking that judgment be
withheld until the real facts are
known in this matter. 1 belong to an
honored profession. l have tried, in
practising that profession, to uphold
its tenets in every respect. l have
never done anything in my life that
