CYCLE AND AUTO HIT;
WOMEN ARE INJURED

In q collision between a motorcycle
ridden by v. Cedarlof aud an automo-
bile driven by ]. w. Kershner, near
the corner Of LuuaIilo and Makiki
streets at $3.50 o'clock this morning,
two women passengers in the auto

Both the young women, who are
employed in downtown offices, were
unable to get to their desks today
due to the accident.
Cedarlof was only slightly injured,
receiving q cut upon one OF his arms,
although his motorcycle was nearly
demolished. Kershner escaped en-.
tirely without injury. The police
state that after the automobile struck
the motorcycle and passed over it, it
went 40 feet before it was stopped
by q foot high street curling. 1t was
the crash of the machine against the
curbing which threw the women pas
sengers, who were riding in tire back
seats, against the frame work Of the
car and caused the bruises and cuts. F

Determination of national guard Of

evident in an order printed at head:

tise. 49,
Organization commanders Will

Officers and enlisted men should
be impressed with the fact that their
oaths bind them to observe the regu-

as all others, and that under the fed
eral law offenders can be brought
to trial by court martial and punished
with fines and jail sentences up to

This order will be read by COM

According to officers at headquar.

BULK OF WAGES
PAID JAPANESE
GOES TO NIPPON
Postmaster's Report Reveals
$1,198, 900 in Money Orders
Went There Last Year

OF the total international money or
der business done last year by the
Honolulu postoffice, that is, orders
sold in the islands upon foreign cour'
tries, totaling $1,204, 1856, money or
ders certified to Japan were $1,198,.
03S.30, according to the annual report
of Postmaster D. H. MacAdam, made
public today.
- In other words, of the million dollar
business done with foreign countries,
all but $6,075.26 went to Japan.
BY countries, the postmaster's re.
port shows money orders certified by
the Honolulu postoffice during the fis-
cal year which ended were as fol-
lows:
Japan, $1,1ss, 03S30; Hongkong, g.,
02794; New South Wales, $2,72398;
New Zealand, $1,S66.5T; Tasmania,
$146.99; Victoria, $744.25; Queensland,
$301.06; South Australia, $94.09; West
ern Australia, $170.3S. No money or.
ders we're sent to Apria, Samoa, or
Cook Island, during the year, The
total Lumber of international money
orders dispatched to foreign countries
during the year was 1885, Of which
43,042 went to Japan, or nearly SO per
cent.
II would be much interested in any
practical suggestion that could be
made to find even partial remedy
for these conditions" said Postmaster
MacAdam, this norninE. at might be
that by tactful and cooperative work
q portion OF the huge amount sent
annually to, Japan could be diverted
either to savings banks in the terri.
tory or to the United States postal
savings system, and thus be kept In
circulation here"
Honolulu business men seen today
by the Star-Bulletin were Of the opin.
ion that the money sent to Japan
through the International money order
system constitutes large portion o.
wages received by plantation laborers
and other Japanese in the territory
The money leaves the islands and
never comes back.
Another angle to the situation, how.
ever, is that a good deal of the ST.
198,03830 sent to Japan during tha fis-
cal year which closed June 80, may
have gone to support relatives and
dependents in Japan.

AERO men WIN
field EVENTS;
LEWIS IS HERO

Pvt. Archibald F. Lewis, 9Th Aero
Squadron, Fort Kamehameha, covered
himself and his teammates with glory
yesterday in a field meet that gave
the aviators victory over six COM
panies Of coast artillery.
Lewis is due for athletic fame in
these islands, in the opinion of track
enthusiasts who saw the meet, for
besides making me highest individual
score of the day he clipped off the
hundred in 10 and 2-5 seconds, good
time for this territory.
The birdmen scared above their
nearest competitors by good 10
points. The meet was a big success
from an athletic standpoint for all
the participants showed good spirit
and a member showed good stuff.
As Fort Kamenameha- is essentially
a coast artillery post, the victory OF
the aviation squadron is all the more
notable. The squadron now has a
total of rs men, having started with
q nucleus of 4e. Eight or 10 men
are applying daily for admission, but
at present only non-commissioned Of
ficers from other organizations are
being accepted, these coming in as
privates.

The amount of $2,371, 1866, which

the 1915 appropriations as of July 1,

The amount carried over is not so
