PETERS LOSES
CASE AGAINST
TELEPHONE co.

Attorney Emil G.. Peters petition
bers and address inserted in the di-
rectory issued by the Mutual Tele-
phone Co. last April has been denied
by the public utilities commission,
and an order to- this effect was sign
ed this morning by Chairman Will 7.
Garden and Commissioner Will P.
Thomas. The opinion denying the
petition was written by Chairman
Garden.
In part, the decision reads as fol-
lows:
Had this complaint come before
the commission reasonable length
of time prior to the proposed issu-
anee by the telephone company of a
new telephone directory, the commits
sion would be in position to reas-
onably grant the relief requested In
view Of the fact, however, and be-
cause of the fact that within period
of less than 10 days from the date of
the filing by the petitioner of his
amended complaint, the company will
of its own volition and in the regular
course of its business engage in the
preparation and issuance with all Cue
diligence and despatch of new tele-
phone directory, it is, in the opinion
of the commission, unreasonable al
this time to grant the relief request.

1.-THE order prayed for in the peti
ton both as originally filSi and as
amended, will be denied.

Milk Price
Agreement
IsReached
New Rates to Be Reduced
From One Cent to 0ne-haIf
Cent, and Producers Prob
ably Will Receive g Cents;
Food Board Considers New
Arrangements

Members of the food commission at
a meeting this afternoon voted to ap-
prove temporarily the milk prices sue-
eested under the agreement reached
by the, dairy association and the pro-
ducers. This schedule seems fair and
recommend that it be approved for
the time being, at least said Chair
man A. L. Castle.
An agreement has been reached be-
tween the Honolulu Dairymen's as
ISOLATION and producers whereby the
new prices of milk to the public, which
went into effect this morning, will be
reduced one cent and, in some in
stances, half a cent, and the price
paid to producers will be in the neigh
borhood of cents.
This action was taken as a direct
result of the investigation of the adj
yanced milk prices begun yesterday
afternoon by the territorial food COM
mission. The agreement has been
subject to the approval of the food
board. and the commission is meeting
this afternoon to discuss it.
According to the agreement milk to
the public will sell at Ia instead Of
Is cents quart, which is reduction
of one cent in the new prices which
went into effect today. Pints of COM
mon milk will sell for ~ cents in
stead of s. cents. Jersey milk will
sell for is instead of II cents a
quart, while pints will cost 81 cents
instead of 9 cents Baby milk will re.
main the same, 10 cents a pint and
20 cents a quart.
At yesterdays investigation pro-
ducers declared that 9 cents would be
a fair price for the milk furnished
the dairy association by them. Some
of them, however, wanted as much as
10 cents a quart According to the
agreement reached today, the price TO
the producer probably will be cents.
Prior to the establishment OF the
new prices, milk sold for Is cents a
quart to the public, while the pro-
Queer received cents quart 1t was
declared that, at this rate, the pro-
ducers were losing money.

VARS COST TO
j. 5. COMP AIRED
TO OTHER Wars

The estimated ordinary expenses of
this government in the first year of its
participation in the war is $12,067, 27S,-
67907. This does not include penny
of what We have lent and are going to
lend to our allies. 1t is merely the
sum to be spent, with no financial re.
turn, on the running of the govern
ment in war time, including, Of course,
the expense of the greatly enlarged
army and navy on the new" war foot
ing. This total for the present year is
$27,0S7,0 more than the government
spent in the entire II years from the
beginning of the present century to
the present year.
4 Ordinary expenditures of this gov
eminent last year-that is, the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1917-were ST.
941,635, 116, or about tenth of what
they are now estimated to reach in the.
present twelVe-month. In addition, last
year there were various extraordinary
expenditures, such as $25, 000,000 for
the Danish West Indies. but they do
not belong in the group of ordinary
expenses to which the estimate of
more than 10 billions is contrasted.
Only once before in the history Of the
government had the ordinary expenses
exceeded billion, and that was in the
last year of the Civil War. In these
totals of expenditures of previous
years the deficits due to Postal Ser.
vice and the expenditures for bond ex-
emptions are not included, for those
items are notincluded in the estimate
of more than 10 billions for the cur.
rent war year. Interest payments on i
bonds are included. -.
The army and navy expenditures for
one year of this European war amount
to $9,064, 240,4S3. just about two and
half times as much as it cost to keen
the army and navy going through prac.
tically II years of fighting in the
five previous wars of this country
which were of Importance. In other
words, the cost of both branches of
the fighting service for the war of
1912, the second Seminole war. the

Animal Keeper To
Take His Vacation
In 2-Hour Shifts
George Conrad Will Get Full
Two Weeks But Can't Be
Spared it all at Once

- GORGE CONRAD, keeper and
friend of animals at Kapio-
~ lani park, is to have a two
weeks vacation, so the board OF
supervisors has decided. Since
Mr.. Conrad is possibly the only
man in Honolulu who UNDER
stands just the food mixture neces-
sary to keep the leopard's spots
rightly placed and properly shin
ing, and just how much daily ex-
ercise is necessary to keep
Daisy, the elephant, from attain
ing that degree of embonpoint so
much abhorred by the feminine
soul, the vacation is to be taken
at the rate of two hours a day
until the number of working
hours in two full weeks have
been consumed. This means that
Mr.. Conrad Will always be on
hand when mealtime for the ami
mails rolls around, and that he
will also be able to look after
the health and happiness of the
animals.
A little family squabble last
week between Prince and Prin-
cess, the two leopards, resulted
in Princess being badly bitten on
the back As there is no veteri-
marian for the park. Mr.. Conrad
has been treating the wounded
animal himself, with the result
that the bite is now Just about
healed, and the quarrel that
caused it smoothed over.
