birth, although she appears to be of
tender years.
Brown is scarcely more than boy
in years and is given a good char
acter by his colonel and he denies his
guilt. He is attached to the medical
corps at Schofield Barracks. At pres
ent Brown appears to fear that he
will receive a dishonorable discharge

punishment.

BANANA SITUATION
is STILL UNSOLVED

That no solution to the problem
of the local banana congestion is yet
available. was the report made to
the territorial food commission yes
terday by John Warehouse. chairman
of the committee on transportation.
The transportation committee said
it had found that between $4,000 alG
$4,000 punches of bananas are rot.
ting each month in local warehouses
because of lack Of cargo space To
carry them to the mainland. 1t Was
pointed out that the Matson steamers
are taking all they possibly can, yet
their assistance does not appear to
be relieving the congestion to a great
extent.
There is a good demand for Ha
waiian bananas on the mainland, and
the prices are top-notch. Overpro.
duction, the committee thinks, is the
cause of the present congestion.

HOMESTEADERS IN
HAMAkUA SEEK
LAND FOR CROPS

A large number of homesteaders in
the Hamakua, Hawaii, district are
eager to secure tracts OF land and
enter into the production Of fOodstuffs
on a large scale, according to a letter
received by Dr.. A. l.. Dean. executive
officer Of the territorial food commits,
sion, from W. G. Moir, agent OF tn
commission in East Hawaii.
In his letter agent Moir says in
part:
Il am Going up to Keanakolu and
intend to get a survey of the area
available for immediate blowing and
general nature of the soil and crops
that will grow there.
- - ~ j. the tract of land
that is owned BY the government and
vac rarker ranch. 1t Is
ideal farming land and is much better
than the Walmea region.
"A large number of homesteaderS
in the Hamakua district wish to OBJ
tain land there ana start in farming
on a large scale. The land is almost
flat and is only covered with grass,
so it could be easily plowed with a
tractor. 1t is in the same belt of land
on which the Parker ranch had its
corn planted. but it has better eli.
matte conditions"

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10
Reports of threatened strikes and dis
turbed labor conditions continue to
reach the department Of commerce
and labor and are a source of growing
anxiety. They are not confined to
particular sections nor to any one in
dustry, but are so widely separated
and SO diversified in nature that the
problem is the more grave and its So
luton becomes the more difficult.
One grain of comfort came from
Chicago last night In the report Of
the settling of strike there and the
situation in some of the Arizona cop
per mining districts has greatly i'm
proved, though by no means as yet
thoroughly clarified. There the ex-
pulsion of agitators has resulted in a
reopentng Of numbers of mines and
the return to almost normal produc-
ton in others.
On the other hand, kilograms from
Denver last night said that there was
no chance to avoid a strike in the
Leadville district among the mineral
workers. 1t is expected that it will
be declared between now and Sunday.
If it is called it will affect about 1000
men.
A strike of 400 butchers employed
by Swift & Co. was also announced
last night. The reason for this strike
is not. known.
Indianapolis dispatches charge that
enemy influences are responsible for
labor agitations and disturbances, and
that the unions there should not be
held responsible Fairbanks sent this
statement to the commerce depart
ment
A conference in Chicago was sue
cessful in averting the threatened
strike of 5000 shopmen of the Rock
Island line.

ment relieving him from duty here

September L. The resignation was
presented TO the committee through
Chairman L. A Berndt, TO whom Tay
lOrs letter vas forwarded.
While Taylor refuses TO comment

Mr. Be7ndt.
Il would be very much in favor OF

one recently suggested By Arthur F
WALL. said Mir. Berndt this morning
After the war business is going to
increase here so much and the city
is going TO grow to size where
more efficient organization OF the
work of the Chamber of Commerce
the promotion committee, and other
public committees should be brought
about.
1T will be the policy OF the commit
tee in the. future to look especially for
a man Of business ability for secre
tary of the promotion committee, and
not a man who is essentially a jour
nalist There is no nan in mind for
the future, and the work will continue
