JAPANESE YOUTH
ISPROBLEMFOR
Federal OFFICE

Life in Hawaii with plenty Of food
and a friendly sun the year around
appeals so strongly to a 10-year-old
Japanese Stowaway who Is held at
the immigrant station that he Is
trying TO escape daily. He was per-
feCtly content there until a few days
ago when he accidentally heard that
he was to be sent back to Jap>~l on
the next Dutch vessel passing through
here bound for the Orient II was on
a vessel OF this line that he and an
other Japanese boy a year or two older
reached Honolulu three weeks ago.
They were enticed aboard the ship.
the boys say, with the promise OF
something to eat II they peeled po-
tatoes.
When Young Togo" as the Young.
est of the boys has been nicknamed
by the immigrant station attaches,
heard that he was to be deported. he
began making plans, secret and alone.
to escape. Sunday evening he was
caught digging a hole beneath the
high fence OF the station. In a few
moments more he would have been
able to have crawled through. Now
he Is under close but kindly guard, for
it is recognized that IL Togo ever
gets clear he will be a hard one to
capture, for he looks just like any
other fat, cheerful little son. At least
he does since he has been fed and
dressed up at the station, When he
arrived, he looked just like any other
wharf.rat who had been taking the
, kicks of strangers, while roofing for
scraps OF food.
Little Togo was brought from cen
trail Japan to Yokohama by an uncle
who deserted him over a year ago.
He had his share of hardships until
he began enjoying the undreamed
heaven Of three meals a day aboard
the Dutch liner and at the immigrant
station. Now he wants to continue
in this paradise, but unkind laws
against the admission of aliens with
out visible means of support prevent
his dream from coming true.
Meanwhile he is keeping the imni.
grafton inspectors busy while he plans
some new method Of escape from his
present guardians, who can't help but
sympathize with his desire to remain
here in preference to going back to
the Yokohama waterfront.

Barrel of Wedding
Presents For Year
Awaits Brides Call
Freight Agent Of Steamship

Glass, Etc., But No Owner

YHO in Honolulu. or elsewhere in
w Hawaii, is the owner OF bar,
W rel Of Wedding presents that has
been in the warehouse Of II. Hackfeld
& co. for the last year?
Charles p. Morse, general freight
agent of tn g ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Steamship Co., wants to know. After
year OF search he has virtually
given up all hope Of ever finding the
owner. But somewhere in Hawaii, or
probably the Philippines, he believes,
some little bride is still sorrowing be
cause the presents she so eagerly eX-
pected never came, despite the fact
that he has combed the islands and
the Pacific coast for trace Of someone
with a rightful claim to the barrel.
More than a dozen pieces OF valu-
able cut glass, as we'll as other brio
a.brac that suggests June and orange
blossoms and brides, are contained in
the barrel which arrived in Honolulu
more than a year ago on one OF the
American-Hawaiian freighters. The
barrel originated at New York and
bears the green cross signifying that
it was intended for Honolulu. There
are no other marks ON the barrel.
Mr.. Morse took the matter up with
New York and that office was COM
pletely in the dark as to the sender OF
the barrel and as to the person or
persons for whom 1t was intended.
The barrel was not even billed, and
this fact had made Mr.. Morse's search
even more difficult. He got in touch
with the several Pacific coast ports
and they could give him no informa-
ton.
Thinking the presents might be for
the bride Of a local army officer, Mr..
Morse communicated with the army
authorities, and still the owner did
not show up AS a last resort he COM
municated with authorities in the

the situation.

prove his claim to it, I shall gladly
turn it over to him-or her
The contents of the barrel are val

PRESIDENT REJECTS
P0PE'S PEACE IDEA
WILSON'S REJECTION CONSIDER
ED AS HlGt-WATER MARK OF
WAR.
CLIMAX OF SERIES OF NOTES
Feature of Presidents Communica-
ton is Determination Not to Dis
cuss Peace So Long as Forces of
Autocracy Control Central Powers.

Washington. - President Wilson's
rejection of the Pope's peace propos-
ais is regarded here as the high water
mark of the war.
Furthermore, it is indicative of the
virtual selection of the President by
the allies as their spokesman before
the world.
The note comes as a climax to the
remarkable series of state documents
in which President Wilson has argu-
ed the cause of world democracy
against autocracy in the high court
of public opinion, and accepted more
and more by the people of all the
ideals.
There appears to be no doubt that
the United States was selected to
make answer before the world. in ad.
vance of all the others. Whether the
entente ma ions will send extensive re.
plies is not known here, 1t is re.
garded as probable that they will in
large measue adopt the Presidents
reasoning for their own and send
notes of endorsement.
The general tenor of the Presi.
dents reply had been anticipated ev-
erywhere, but there was no inkling
of the forceful terms he would EN-.
ploy to say that the world can have
no faith in the autocratic government
of Germany.
Students of diplomacy see in his
denunciation of the military autocracy
a fresh appeal to the war-ridden Ger
man people to throw off their military
masters.
Although this appeal probably will
not be permitted to become known in
Germany until the autocracy has at
tempted to mold the temper of the
people for it's reception by a d%enuncia'
ton through a government controlled
press of what has been characterized
as interference in the internal affairs
of Germany, the hope is that it will
fall on fertile soil.
That the Presidents response to the
Pope's overtures would be a courte-
Gus but firm declination had been
| generally believed, so that in this re.
spect at least his communication will
cause no surprise.
The feature that is certain to fix
public attention is the cold determine
ton not even to permit the subject
of peace negotiations to be preached
so long as the evil and dominating
forces of autocracy and militarism
control the central powers.

SIXTY-FIVE BALES SET
AS MINIMUM CAR LOAD
War Board Will Take Steps to Ease
Tremendous Pressure Upon Rail-
ways During Fall Months.

New York.-An order prohibiting the
shipping of cotton in quantities less
than sixty-five bales a car and requir-
ing as many more to be loaded as the
size of the car will permit, has been
issued by the railroads var board, it
was announcewd here. Notice has
been sent to buyers of cotton with a
request that they place orders on a
basis of not less than sixty-ive bales
or multiples thereof. ,
The movement of the cotton crop
which is scheduled to begin this fall
at a time when "a combination of gov
eminent and commercial business will
be bringing tremendous pressure to
bear upon the railroads. was given as
the reason for the order in a statement
issued by Fairfax Harrison, chairman
of the board.
Gin the southwest and Mississippi
delta districts the average car will
load IS bales" the statement said,
consequently buyers are asked to Or
der in multiples of IS from the south

APPLIES TO PURCHASES MADE
BY GOVERNMENT FOR AMER.
ICA AND ALLIES.
FARMERS EXPECTED TO OBJECT
Food Administration Expects Compro-
mise Price of $500 to Control and
Stabilize Markets, Lowering the Cost
of Living.

Washington.-The price of No. /
$3.50 a bushel at Chicago for the 1917
crop by the wheat fair price commit
tee, headed by H. A. Garfield, whose
findings reached after three days de-
liberation, were submitted to and ap-
proved by President Wilson. The
announcement was made from the
White House.
Labor representatives on the COM
mittee voted first for $1.S4 and the
farmers $3.50. After long discussions
the compromise at 1920 was approved
unanimously.
On the base of $3.50 at Chicago the
food administration worked out diff
ferentials for the various grades and
classes and for the several terminals.
The price fixed is twenty cents high
er than that named for the 1918 crop
by congress in the food control bill.
The So price set by congress was TAX
en- into consideration by the commit
tee in considering a rair valuation
for this years crop.
In a statement accompanying the
announcement of the price, President
Wilson declares it is the hope of the
food administration, and his own as
well, that the fixing of a price will
stabilize the market and keep prices
within moderate bounds for all trans
actions during the current year.
The price of -four and bread, too,
the president declares, will be kept
down.
The committee in it's report to the
president, gave as the three chief
considerations that entered into its
deliberations the following:
The fact that the United States is
at war, the need of encouraging the
producer, and the necessity of reduc.
ing the cost of living to the consumer.
All members agreed in their discus
sions that the price fixed will permit
of a fo~urteen-ounce loaf of bread for
five cents, allowing a fair profit both
to the flour manufacturer and the
baker.
The price differentials worked out
by the food administration are:
No. 1 dark hard winter, 1924; hard
winter basic, $500; red winter basic,
1920; yellow hard winter, $2.16; soft
red winter, $2.18; dark northern
spring, 1924; red spring, $2.1S; hump
back, $2.10; amber durum, 1924; du-
rum basic, 1920; red durum. s2.13;

$3.50; soft white, S2.1S; white club,
