Attorney Rawlins said that the chi.

He told OF the man. Lor Wallach

Rawlins suggested that, IL any ac'

amended to include chiropractors. thus

GIVES ADVICE TO
DOG IMPORTERS

a timely article for people VINO
bring dogs into the territory Is In the
report of Victor A. Norgaard, terrific
rial veterinarian, to the board OF COM
mfssioners of agriculture and forestry.
II SAYS that five dogs died during JAN
uary and explains what treatment
should be given the dogs before placed
on shipboard for transportation here.
The article follows:
"The cold and wet weather during
January was partly responsible for the
loss of three pups and two dogs while
in quarantine. though the direct cause
was the introduction Of the infection
with unvaccinated pups. These loss
es. while regrettable, are however IN
significant when compared with what
might have happened had we not had
the use of distennper bacteri and Sc
rum at hand These new remedies,
while far from infallible. have un-
doubtedly served To protect or cure
the more than 90 other dogs present
when the disease was introduced. The
point. however, which it is wished to
bring out is the danger always at
tendent upon bringing young dogs or
puppies TO a strange climate, on an
ocean, voyage of at least six days, dur.
ing the middle of the winter, and with
out taking the preeaution OF protec-
tive vaccination before starting the
animal away from its home. Prospect
i've dog importers are therefore urged
to have a veterinarian vaccinate their
dogs before taking or sending them
on board the steamer for Honolulu.
The treatment consists in two or three
hypodermic injections at intervals oil
one or two days, the cost OF the vac
cine three small bottlesl being $1.5O,
to which should be added the veterin-
arians fee This treatment will in
most cases protect the animals
against a fatal attack of the disease.

Chiropractors and chiropractics
were roundly scored. and chiropractors
stanchly defended their calling at a
public hearing in the Capitol last
night on House Bill 81, which provides
for the licensing Of chiropractors. The
hearing was before the house commit:

said, rather than as counsel James

The chiropractors were represented by
Drs. Frank G. Mighton and Wallace Z.

DR.. Mighton, the first speaker, de
Tended HIS calling In plea for the
passage OF the bill now before the
legislature. He told how the governor
had "pocket-vetoed" the chiropractic
bill two years ago and undertook TO
answer some of the chief executives
reasons as then given for his action.
He pointed out that ehiropractors are
now licensed in six states--North Da-
kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas,
Oregon and Wisconsin-and that IN
IL other states there are boards OF
chiropractic examiners.
Mighton's strong point was that the
chiropractors in Hawaii object to be-
ing compelled to undergo an examina.
ton by a board of medical men for
licenses to practise their profession.
He asserted that, in many instances,
medical men are ignorant regarding
the so-called science of chiropractic.
What he wants to see brought about,
he said, is to have a territorial board
OF examiners of chiropractors.
Explaining chiropractic, Mighton
told how chiropractors had offered

Bathers at Waikiki beach late yes

of the selachian, which, he says, was
only about 15 yards off the town side
OF the diving raft. He does not ven

Sharks rarely come into the waters
along Waikiki owing to the coral bar

MIGRATE
into MEXICO BY
MANY HUNDREDS

lASSoeiated Press by Federal WireleSs)
WASHINGTON, ID. C., March g.
The steady exodus Of German subjects
from the United States into Mexico
and the semi-official reports from the
City of Mexico Of the establishment
there of powerful wireless plant now
working in direct communication with
Berlin, are arousing the attention OF
the federal officers.
The German migration south across
the Mexican line has assumed fairly
large proportions and appears to be
growing steadily.
Hundreds Are Seeking Passports
At the Mexican consulate general in
New York City, Mexican passports are
being issued to German applicants at
the rate Of more than a hundred a
day. Already this week, up to last
night. more than four hundred had
been made out and delivered to those
applying.
A somewhat similar state Of affairs
is reported from other cities contain
ing Mexican consuls and consuls gen.
eral empowered to issue passports.
Mexican Neutrality Violated
Semi-offieial information is in the
hands of the state department of the
existence in the City of Mexico of a
new, powerful wireless plant, already
i'm operation and despatching code mes
sages and receiving messages in code
direct to and from Berlin.
Through the operation of this plant
all the censorship exercised by the
naval officials of the United States is
made useless. Whatever information
it may be found destrable,by agents OF
Germany to transmit to the Father
land may be sent to the City OF Mex
leo through the United States mails
or by messenger and from there trans
mitted by the wireless to Berlin.
The operation of this wireless plant
also has far-reaching possibilities in
enabling German efforts to violate the
neutrality laws of the United States to
become successful, something which
was most difficult zith the wireless
plants at Sayville and Tuckerton In
the control of the navy and when these
plants were the only ones with wide
radius operating on the Atlantic Coast.

tomley, the treasurer OF the company.
TO the stockholders at the annual
meeting held this afternoon. During

ing to $177,S15.3S. Including all mill

$14. 1908; live stock, 49.60113t and
mill buildings, $S,297.l2. Bonds to the
amount of $4,000 we're paid off and
bonds to the amount of S6S,647.S 3 are
in the treasury.
Manager C. F. Eckart in his report
explains that the low yield of the 1916
crop was due to the extremely ad.
verse weather conditions that were
encountered. The crop yield was 81
574.75 tons from $500. 10 acres or $40
ton to the acre. IL required SOB tons
of cane to produce q ton of sugar.
Sufficient allowance, he says, was
not made in the January estimate
for the abnormal conditions through
which the crop had passed and this he
terms unfortunate. The stand of cane
bore evidence Of not being very far
from the normal, but the average
length was disappointing and proved
deceiying
The question naturally occurs, he
continues, whether or not the large
drop from the expected in the 1916
crop indicates serious and discour-
aging sensitiveness on the,part OF the
plantation TO unfavorable conditions.
He replies that 1t shows sensitive
ness but not so extreme as to be dis
couraging and it is also particularly
responsive to favorable conditions. In
his judgment the plantation made a
more favorable showing comparatively
and considering what it went through
in 1916 than it did in 1916.
The crop of 1917 is being harvested
from 6698.72 acres and is favored by
the considerably larger area than the
1916 crop and with the exception OF
somewhat cooler weather than normal
for the second season has had the adj
vantage of average conditions. A con-
SlQGTdDI6 pTOPOfllOlits,Ll INV CEOiS 70 Ae'sS
started owing to droughtsi In 1916 hav-
ing prolonged harvesting operations.
With the exception of this late started
cane and the Mountain View fields
which suffered from leaf hopper
which is estimated at $500 tons OF
sugar, shows a heavy and satisfactory
stand. Allowing for such damages, he
places his estimate for the year at
10000 tons. Grinding commenced
January and the quality of juice has
been considerably higher than for the
same period last year.
The total area for the 1913 crop is
to be 6370.7S. At the present time
the cane is considerably further adj
vanced than the preceding crop was
at the same period Leaf hopper is
already making itself felt, however
1t is hoped that leaf hopper parasites,
a considerable number of colonies OF
which have been imported and planted
will prove of benefit.
