FREEDOM GIVEN
IRISH PRISONERS
England Releases Men Cap
tured During Easter Re-
bellion of 1916.
HOPES FOR UNITED EMPIRE
Reconciliation of Every Party
Expressed Desire of British
Government.

LONDON. June l5.-All the pris-
oners taken in the Irish rebellion OF
Easter Sunday, 1916, will be released
without reservation. This announce
ment was made in the house of COM
mons today by Andrew Bonar Law,
who said the government felt that by
so doing II would aai in the success
of the approaching irish convention
which the government hoped would
effect Il reconciliation among Irish
political parties. In making the an
nouncement Bonar Law said:
THE government has given long
and anxious consideration to the po-
sition Of Irish political prisoners and
have arrived at the decision 1t is now
my duty to announce.
Marks New Era.
THE government has felt, after
giving careful consideration to the ap-
preaching session of the convention
In which Irishmen themselves will
meet to settle the difficult problem
of the future administration of their
country, that this great experiment
Will mark new era in the relations
between Ireland the United States
and the empire.
In these circumstances the gov
ernment has decided they can not
give better earnest of the spirit in
which they approach the convention
than by removing one of the main
causes OF the serious misunderstood
ing OF this subject with which il is
In their power to deal. They have
decided, therefore. upon the release
without reservation of all prisoners
in confinement in connection with the
recent rebellion in Ireland.

Moves For New Trial

Three years in prison at hard labor
is the sentence imposed by Circuit
Judge Heen yesterday morning upon
Lionel r. A. Hart, who was convicted
last Wednesday by jury on charges Of
embezzlement Of stocks entrusted ITO
him by clients for brokerage purposes.

Captain of Detectives McDuffie and
Chester A. Doyle that he had embez'
zled money given him for the purchase
of stock, had burned his books to de,
stroy evidence against him, and fed to
China to evade arrest. This con fession
and other evidences addueed7 at the
trial served to convict him. ~, -
Judge Ilymer, his attorney, moved
for new trial basing the motion on
ale cations that the confession referred

There was n decided air of business

tories and paying accrued taxes as dis,
closed by such inventories. From the
time of opening in early morning until
late in the afternoon the whole staff
of revenue clerks were kept constantly
busy, assessing taxes, making corree.
tions and imparting information.
Depite the great amount of publicity
given to the provisions of the new
war tax, they are not yet understood
at least by large majority. Accord
ing to Ralph tombstone, people came
Yesterday with the intention of pay
ing taxes on arm bands, Japanese con
versation books, composition books an
the like. These are not subject to tn,
tax and considerable time was WASTED
adjusting the Inventories.
H. could not be ascertained YESTERDAY

were, but Mr.. tombstone said tha'
many business houses were behinS
with the payment of their taxes. Unde,
the provisions of the war revenue bill
these are subject to prosecution. Mr.

EMBARGO PLACED
ON AUTO Shipments
With Thousand Waiting On Docks
In San Francisco None
\ " Can Be Brought Here

The automobile business received a
crushing blow yesterday when 1t was
announced that an embargo had been
placed on automobiles to the Territory.
AT the. present time there are APP
proximately one thousand machines on
the docks at San Francisco awaiting
shipment. Some of the consignments
have been held up since the FIRST OF
October on account of vessels not hav.
ing space enough for motor car ship
ments. The embargo also includes
motor trucks. One dealer in Honolulu
who had just entered into the retail
nutom business has had a consign
meut of motor ears paid for which
have been waiting shipment from San
Francisco since September.
What hits the Honolulu dealers hard
est is the fact that they have very
few automobiles on hand on account
of the eongested shipping conditions
which existed for some time. While
| the retailers of new cars are sitting
! in gloom, the sellers of second hand
ears are all smiles, The embargo means
that in the near future automobiles OF
any kind will be at a premium anc
that the second hand ear dealer will rear
profits that he never thought Of be
| fore.
According to advices received yestrr
day by Honolulu dealers il will b,
about the first of January before an,
automobiles win be shipped from :3Ar
Francisco to Honolulu. nn.

FIRST WHEATLESS
DAY IS SET BY
FOOD COMMISSION
People Of Territory win Be Asked
To Make Real Start On We'd
nesday, November A. Toward
Saving Commodlty Needed To
Help Win War

Z The first wheatless day for the Ter.
ritory will be on Wednesday, November
IA. The food commission will request
that on this day all hotels, boarding
houses, and private homes do not use
any wheat bread whatever. 1t is hoped
to make every Wednesday thereafter a
wheatless day for Honolulu and the rest
of the Territory as weil
At the last meeting Of the food com.
mission the members expressed them
selves as of the opinion that so far
little actual saving of wheat -four had
been attempted. There had been much
talk, but small results, in their opinion
and the community needed constant ed
ueatiOn and urging to get ii TO the
point when it would really begin to usT
less wheat flour.
The efforts of the women e committed
were not sighted, but Il was felt that
wheatless day for the Territory woulC
aid them in large measure in impress
ing their gospel ON the minds Of thI
citizens. By having one day each weel
dedicated to wheat saving it may b,
possible to ascertain just how much o.
saving can be effected.
The food pledge week win be planned
as soon as the necessary blanks arriv'
from the food administration in Wash
ington, One of the cards is an es
pecial blank for hotels and restaurants
and particular effort win be made b,
the local commission to have then

SPRAYING sPUDS
:. INCREASES YIELD
Maui Farmers Find Out Value OIL
'El Bordeaux Mixture

Recent advices from Maui state that
the cooperative spraying experiments
being conducted by the United States
Experiment station with the Chinese
potato growers of Kula are showing
large increases in yield in favor Of
spraying with Bordeaux mixture. These
experiments and demonstrations are be-
ing conducted by Edward Shin OF the
Lahaipaluna School, under directions
furnished by C. w. Carpenter Of the
station. w.. D.. ,f {
The experiments thus far concluded
were upon small areas but are com
puted on an acre basis for convenience,
In two experiments the increases in
yield through the use of the Bordeaut
spray were respectively eighty-seyen
and eighty three percent. In one ex.
pertinent the yield per acre Of sprayed
potatoes was 100 bags and unsprayed
85.5 bags, or gain of 74.5 bags. In
another experiment the yield per acre
of sprayed potatoes was IT'S bags, and
unsprayed 96.7 bags, the increase il
favor Of spraying being s1.I bags pei
acre. The cost of spraying an acre OF
potatoes three times is estimated al
about $l2, including labor. q
At selling price Of $1.75 per bag
in Kula the seventy five bags increase
would be worth $l3l.25. Deduct $li
the cost Of spraying and there is left
$l29 per acre for the added care il
bringing the eropto maturity. The up

+ There has been very little change in
the market during the past week. The
division has received large shipments
Of sweet potatoes from several differ.
emit farmers on Oahu. The price Of
sweet potatoes has dropped little and
there Is faily good demand for them.
The division has received several
shipments Of corn from Maui and Ha.
wall, which have been disposed Of at
$67 to $73 q ton. We expect to re,
ceive further shipments Of corn from
both Maui and Hawaii, in a few days.
A large shipment of peanuts was re.

NUMBERS CHECKED

Major Franeis Green, chairman of
the Seleetiye Draft board, has been
carefully checking up the three official
lists of the draft drawings Of last
Thursday, for possible errors. The
work, however, was unusually well
done, partly due to the efficient work of
the relays of young women who were
assigned TO this part Of the long day g
work, aud partly to the constant super
vision of Mujor Green, who personally
halted the reading of the numbers at
any time he perceived that an error
might be made. g..
All lists will be transferred TO the
local boards for supplying the names in
their proper order as drawn.
The call for the draft from Washing
ton will, in all probability, come direct
to Major Green, who is Provost Mar
