, TO KEEP OUT PESTS

In order to better guard the island
of Maui from the possible introduce
ton of harmful insects from the main
land, the territorial board OF agrf
culture and forestry has decided to
have an inspection made of all fresh
fruits and vegetables brought in by
vessels direct from mainland or for
eign ports. Will J. Cooper has been
appointed inspector, and began his
duties this morning with the arrival of
the Lurline E. III. Ehrhorn, sHperin-
tendent of entomology for the board,
came over from Honolulu this morn
ing to get the work properly started.
Ehrnorn and his staff in Honolulu
aim to intercept as many pests as pos
sible in imports arriving by that port,
but the increasing number of vessels
arriving first at Maui ports, or hay-
ing Maui cargo which could not be
inspected in Honolulu, has made the
new plan necessary, in the opinion OF
the board. A. s F.. o- .. ~ ~.

RUMOR EDiNGS FOR JUDGE

WAILUKU, Maui, Jan. 12.-The
Protracted absence of Circuit Judge
w. S. Edings in Honolulu, taken in
connection with the general upheav.
al in judicial circles in the capital. has
started a large amount of conjecture
and surmise. With place on the fed.
eral bench vacant, as well as two 81 ats
Oh the benches Of the first circuit
court, it seems quite likely that the
Maui Judge might have opportunity to
fill one Of these places If he desired.
From the fact that Judge Ediugs
virtually refused an appointment to
the circuit bench in Honolulu when
1t was offered year or more ago has
led to the. belief that he Is still not
candidate for preferment in that
court though he might be receptive in
the matter of the federal court place.
Edings went to Honolulu before
Christmas.

FEEL NEGLECTED

Stockholders OF the Mountain King
Mining Company in Honolulu are
sore" and disgrant!ed AID are not
hesitating to express Their feelings.
Where such stockholders are also
stockholders here their feelings are
the more bitter and more strongly ex-
pressed.
1t is not that an assessment of ,
cents a share has been levied on the
Mountain King stock. for Honolulu in
vestors are game once they go into a
project 1t is because they were not
officially advised by cable or wireless
by the directors of the action which
that body had taken, but were left in
ignorance until circular letters ar
rived here IL days after the action
was taken, except for some private
advices that were not given out. The
letters thus reached mainland stock.
holders many days before they were
received here.
Brokers this morning asserted that
il was customary for companies in
which people of Hawaii were inter
ested to send cable advices on i'm
portant action taken by directors, and
resented the fact that such action had
not been taken in this instance.
1t is a fact, however, that some peo-
pie here were advised unofficially
that an assessment was likely to be
levied and later had been levied, and
accordingly sold their holdings at thu
higher prices.

as noteworthy exceptions to this rule. All the daily press Of Chicago, 1t is pointed out are on the right side of the argument and favor the bin.
 Of course, the readers of all these supporting newspapers are not yet educated to support universal train. ing, but their education is now going on in a way that would not have been thought possible several years ago, or at about the time when Presi- dent Wilson went through the Mid de West on a speaking tour in fa- vor of national defense

that education is in position to con trol the country Congress will re. spond.
 "Thc bill reported from my com mittee in the last Congress should be passed. There were extended hearings lasting several months, and both those favorirg and those oppos. ing the bill were given ample oppor. unity to present their views. The advocates of universal military train. ing arc not yet entirely agreed as to the for mthe proposed legislation should assume, although they are agreed as 10 the necessity for the creation Of a reserve citizen force. We shall take up the work in the special session where it was left off in the last one and l now see no reason to doubt that we can reach vote in the Senate. If there should be a vote believe the bill will pass"
 War Would Rush Bill
 If the United States should go to war with Germany, it is certain that the special session will pass the Chamberlain bill, and that, too with. out any serious delay. for it will then be up to the government to get to- GethCr an army for defense. The passing of the crisis without war would make the work of enactment more difficult.
 The friends of universal military service say that the best time to pass such legislation is when the country is at peace. Then the prob lem can be taken up without excite. ment and worked out with greater certainty of a correct solution. The proposed law. 1t is also claimed, could be put into effect more satigractor. fly in time of peace than in time of war
 It is noted with approval by the friends of the Chamberlain bill that sentiment in favor of its passage is now to be found in all the states. An incomplete list of newspapers which warmly advocate it numbers 175 in thirty.four of the States. The list is admittedly incomplete. Those who oppose universal military train. ing have at their command twenty. seven newspapers in thirteen States. Some of the friendly newspapers took | ID the question editorially long be. | fore the present crisis arose, among i them the Seattle Times and the Spokesman Review in Spokane.
 The East coast and the West coast and a considerable portion of the South favor universal military ser. vice almost to a man. The greatest part of the opposition to the plan comes from the Middle West, from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico
 Middle West Changing
 And yet in the Middle West the sentiment in favor of the Chamber ain bill is growing rapidly. In min. lesota and Michigan. for instance. the eading daily newspapers are now fa. 'oring the bill, while in Iowa, long counted as a breeding place for pa ,ifists, out of thlrty.nine daily news. papers, thirty-two are in favor of the pill and only three openly against it.
 In fact, it is said by those who are amiliar with Middle West conditions hat very few newspapers in that ection of the country are now open. antagonisdc to the formation of a 'ermanent reserve of trained citi- ems. The San Francisco Chronicle nd the Duluth Herald pointed out
