POWER FOR PRESIDENT.
CONGRESS TO GRANT AUTHORITY
FOR EMERGENCIES.
Lewis Will Introduce Bill Making Le-
gal Any Action President Takes Az
ter Congress AdjOurns.

Washington, Oct. AFTER n call at
the White House today. Senator Lewis
said he would propose passage Of
bill giving the president full power to
do anything during the forthcoming
recess of congress that may be called
for by any sudden emergency.
Il told the president" said the SEN
ator. that we would get the war reve-
nue. bill passed finally this week, pass
the soldiers insurance bill next week
and adjourn by the end of the follow
Ing week. The president is anxious
that the insurance bill pass. that the
families of soldiers can have security
and the soldiers have peace of mind.
II think II would be wisdom for
congress to pass law giving the
president full power to do anything
In the recess Of congress that may be
called for by any sudden emergency.
whether from international complica-
tions or home price fixing of COM
modities for war necessity. This would
prevent calling congress before the
regular December meeting and also
give immediate legality to any action,
however unexpected.
1.-THE president himself deeply ap-
preciates the generous course of con-
sress towards him. particularly in it's
refusal to hamper him in any way In
any OF his executive functions or of
intruding party opposition or personal
politics against necessary measures.
The president Is satisfied with our war
situation and our readiness for ac-
ton. and has full confidence in Ameri-
can success everywhere"

HUNTING FOR TRAITORS.
ANII.WAR AGITATORS DIRECTED
BY GROUP OF MEN.
government Has Tons OF Damaging
Documents Which Will Cause Many
Arrests.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The great
harvest of indictments returned at
Chicago, it was authortatively stated
tonight, is but fraction of what the
government will reap as the result of
its nationwide raid on Industrial
Workers of the World Offices Septem-
ber S.
Only those regarded by the govern
ment as the chief figures in the alleg-
ed conspiracy to thwart the govern
ment in it's war plans have been in
dicted. Tons Of documents seized in
the raid have yet to be studied, their
disclosures catalo3ued and arranged
for use in further proceedings. This
work is now going on in approximate
ly 60 towns and cities from coast to
coast.
In obtaining indictments against
166 alleged ring leaders of the con-
simply skinned the cream of the
investigation. Documents in it's pos
session are understood to show ex-
tensive and far-reaching minor plans
confined to particular localities and
designed to affect local situations
through which those named in the in
dictments and many others are be-
| lieved by the authorities to have
sought to hamper the government by
| methods. some Of which have not yet
! been disclosed to the public.
Contrary to general belief. no direct
connection has been shown thus far
by the alleged leaders of the conspi-
| iacy and the huge German corruption
| fund believed to have been operating
| in this country since Americas entry
| into the war. Many indications point
strongly to the connection which off,
| cials hope to establish but none, it is
reported, is absolutely confirmatory.
This development has led officials
to believe that the full scope of the
| conspiracy's operation has not yet
been revealed. So far as determined
there was no master spy. no single
| controlling head which directed the
| activities of the anti-war workers. A
group Of fairly generous proportions,
! the evidence indicates, has been in
| charge Of the entire program Of prop
| aganda and outrages from the spread
ing Of alleged seditious literature to
the burning of crops and the arming
of farmers and others to resist the
draft law.
The likelihood of another general
investigation by single federal grand
jury into the scope Of the entire con-
spiracy is remote. in the opinion of
officials but indications are that a
number Of grand juries sitting at New
York, Chicago. st. Louis, Detroit,
Cleveland and other cities in the East
and Middle West will consider local
, phases of the situation.
Preparations for the trials of the
166 persons indicted at Chicago are
yet to be made. The immense amount
of work involved in the preparation
OF evidence will involve considera BILE
time.
Various phases Of the investigation
today were discussed at conference at

HAWAu.GROWN TOBACCO TO TRADE

believed it to be, and there is now
steady demand for Hawaiian leaf.
Because of the extremely favorable
soil and climatic Conditions along the
west coast of the island of Hawaii,
all tobacco grown there is silky and
elastic with good burning qualities.
1t has all the good qualities manufac-
turers demand in cigar tObaccos, and
Low that the experimental period las
been passed, a great future is prom
ised for the industry.
Kona wrappers have made a place
for themselves in the domestic mar
ket. Methods of curing and packing
the product are now better understood
than in experimental years, and the
same group of investors who started
the first experiments are back of the
new enterprises. Cigar tobacco has
been grown spasmodically in Hawaii
during the last nine ears with vary.
ing success. Costly experiments, some.
times approaching disasters, are of ex-
IRENE value in the reorganization OF
the tobacco industry Of Hawaii.
The history Of tobacco growing is
an interesting page in the record as
ricultural progress in the islands. The
island of Kauai is credited with the
first systematic attempt at tabacco
growing in 1851. The first tobacco was
really grown in the islands about 1873
by Don Marin, Spanish immigrant.
Hawaiians grew tobacco in small
patches for local consumption. 1t
was very strong product.
At the annual exhibition of the Roy.
al Hawaiian agricultural system in
1851, J. r. Opitz. of Waimea, Kauai,
sent the first lot of Hawaiian cigars
made from island-grown tobacco, for
which he was awarded a premium, as
also for the best two pounds of cured
tobacco.
In that early period, because of a
dissolution OF partnership and the de-
parture OF one Of the partners for for.
eign lands, the tobacco industry
lapsed. A revival was sought in 1870,
but from that time on until the es-
tablishment of the United States ex-
pertinent station at Honolulu no at
tempts were made to grow tobacco
for commercial purposes.
