In connection with reports that the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation would
create a new bond issue to be offerd
to the public, g. VI. SChwab says there
will be no bond issue for a long time
to come, according to dispatches from
New York received yesterday afternoon
by W. B. Hibbs & Company. With a
working capital of close to $1O0,O00,o 900
and continued large earnings, it would
seem that recent financing would pro-
vide Bethlehem with all the neces-
sary cash needed for a long period
The new financing by Bethlehem was
due largely to the fact that more than
one-haIf of its working capital was
tied up in British short term notes.

record of 4,727,s2s pounls in May, 1916.
Falling of in production is due great
ly to a strike Of employees of the

embarrassed CRANKY to a considerable
extent. This strike has been tempor-
arily adjusted and operations resumed

Straight-from-the-sh acknowledgement

features of the fina. Republican rally
at Aala Park last night, which in point
of attendance outnumbered the Demo

The talk of the Republican candi-
dates was a big contrast to that OF
the Democrats. The Republicans as a
whole took little notice Of the fren.
lied remarks of tie Bourbons, but
gave their reasons for asking the peo'
pie for their support
When Mayor LAM rose to speak the
crowd jumped to its feet and gave

"eived big hand. AS the different can.

IN
TWO DISTRICTS
LOSE CONTESTS

At two precincts in the fifth district
this morning the Republican party
went down to defeat.
In the ninth precinct Henry James.
chairman of the inspectors is away
and for the primary election f. j.
McCandless, Democrat, was chosen by
the governor as chairman. This morn
ing Inspector Henry Kapela, Republi,
can, tried to get the craftsmanship by
declaring that McCandless was APP
pointed only for the primary but the
county clerk refused to uphold his
claim.
The trouble at the fourteenth pre-
cinct was an overabundance of in
sDectors Daniel McGregor, Republi-
can, was asked 20 resign as inspector
last week because h is a territorial
official, being inspector for the board
Of health, and John Baker was aD-
pointed in his place, with the result
that all inspectors now are Democrats.
This morning McGregor attempted to
take up the duties Of an inspector. A
heated argument arose which lasted
until the arrival of the county clerk
who decided against McGregor.

BALLOT BOX CHARGES MERE
CANARD, ASSERT REPUBLICANS

That charges by the Democrats that
there were irregularities in the pri-
mary election because q block Of 81
unused ballots was found outside OF
Bourbon headquarters near midnight
on May 10, and intimations that the
Republicans stuffed" the ballot box
es, formed nothing more than an
eleventh hour political canard, Is the
opinion expressed today in Repubh'
can circles.
County Clerk David Kalauokalani
says that the ballots actually used at
the primaries check up correctly with
the number of persons who voted, and
he has so informed Attorney General
i. NJ. Stainback.
s"As a rule, all unused ballots are
thrown away, or laid away, after s
o'clock on election day." said Kalauo-
kalani. We do not have to check up
on the number Of ballots issued; only
on the number Of ballots actually
used.
After s o'clock anyone could have
gotten unused ballots from almost any
Of the polling places. They could
have been secured at the clerks of.
flee, for that matter, after O'Clock.
Elections In Honolulu are conduct
ed properly and the inspectors always
have been fair. irrespective OF whe-
-ther the judges were Republicans or
Democrats. As far as know there is
absolutely no evidence of 'stuffing'
the ballot boxes at the primaries.
y w. A. Bryan, one Of the Democratic
managers, yesterday requested the
Rttorney.general to ascertain from
the county. clerk the results of the
final checking up Of the ballots. The
following letter was sent by the
clerks office:

First Of the enlisted men In Hawaii
to leave here for regiments bound to
the front, Cpl. Nathan Elmer, Company
c, End Infantry, will sail on the NEXT
transport to the mainland to Join the
22nd Infantry, now stationed Ut Fort
Jay, New York.
Cpl. Elmer was formerly with the
22nd Infantry, and this fact aided him
in getting transferred to that reg!.
ment. He will take up his new work
as a private. Elmer has been in Ha-
wall four years, and also spent four
years in the Philippines. He has been
in the service for 13 years.
With the assistance Of Capt. John
Randolph, Company C, End Infantry,
Elmer was able to carry out his wish
to join a regiment that will probably
see duty soon fl Europe, this being
one Of the regiments which Gen. Per.
shing is expected to lead In the first
division Of troops to be sent.

received in my absence, and on being
informed of your request. l have ask
ed my deputy to make the following
reply to you:
AS to your oral request Of May q,
as you know press of business in this
office in preparing for the final cleo
tien Of June 5, has caused your re-
quest to be temporarily overlooked.
Il call your attention to such rec
ords as were submitted to this office
showing that the report of the num-
Der OF ballots cast in each precinct
tallies with the number Of voters re
ported as signing the roster 1T the
primary election.
Nothing in these records show any
thing abnormal nor has any complaint
been made by any election inspector
or any voters to show that this tally
Of voters and ballots was in error or
that any voters name was scratched
wrongfully or wrongfully entered
upon the roster in any precinct To
tally the blanks would add nothing to
such an inquiry and to check the
blanks with the used ballots would re.
quire opening Of the sealed packets
in the presence Of a justice of the
Supreme court.
This office knows no facts making
such a judicial inquiry warranted II
you, however. have such facts at your
command and desire to open and
check the official returns of this cleo.
ton, this office is ready to bring such
records as you desire before the su.
preme court.
THE records submitted to this of,
flee would indicate that there was no
irregularity in the primary election
which would affect the official returns
published by this office in any way,

Army Registration
Proceeding Quietly
ASSOCIATED Press by U. S. Naval Conmunt
cation ServieeI

ASSOCIATED Press by U S. Naval Communi.
cation ServieeI
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 8
News from all over the country, COM
ing into the war department and else
where in Washington, shows that reg,
istration under the new army law IS
proceeding quietly everywhere in the
United States The percentage Of eva
sion Of the law is believed to be
small.
No organized disturbances have
taken place. Only in few cases have
dsorderly or opposing individuals
been arrested.
The government, it was announced
here last night, will have no definite
figures regarding the registration until
after the state officials have Complet.
ed their work of gathering in the
names of those liable for military
service.
1t was also announced that the proc
lamation including Hawaii and
Alaska in the selective draft, will not
be forthcoming until the governors OF
those territories have completed their
preparations"
In spite of spasmodic moves against
the draft in various parts Of the coun-
try, mostly by pacificists and social
lists, aided and abetted by anarchists,
there IS no sign Of any widespread or
organized opposition to the draft meas
ure, the whole nation apparently
realizing that by this means only can
sufficient number of men be raised
in a fair and just manner to meet
the demands of the greatest war the
United States has ever embarked on.
The complete failure of the volun-
teer system throughout the nation to
supply the number of men required is
recognized everywhere. With the ex-
ception Of Indiana practically all OF
the states are far below their quota
of men.

RETURNS WITH
new IDEAS FOR
CITY PLANNING

Brim full Of new ideas concerning
city planning but with the information
that all planning organizations on the
mainland are now dropping that work
to take up war relief preparations,
Mrs, F. J. LOwrey, member Of the
Honolulu City Planning Commission.
has returned from the mainland, whers
she has been for several months.
Every woman's club In the state Is
now actively engaged in war work,
Mrs. Lowrey said this morning, and
there is a movement started to organ.
ize all the clubs into one big national
organization for the more systematic
handling of the work. England found
at the beginning Of the war that many
small groups working Independently,
although toward the same end, pre-
vented the maximum Of efficiency and
the people in the United States are
alive to this fact"
Mrs. Lowrey reports that enthusi.
asm is now running high everywhere
and that the west Is waking up to the
gravity of the situation. Every place
l visited l found that the planning
commission had given up that work
and turned to war relief. OF course
have many new ideas for the benefit
OF Honolulu, but the commission may
want to do as those on the mainland
and concentrate on the problems Of
the war"

Workers Around Polling Booths
Report Quiet Day; Plenty
of BaIIoting

With few visible indications Of split
ticket activity. and with very little
campaigning at the polls. voting in the
fourth district this morning was fairly
heavy, and at noon several Of the pre-,
CiDcts reported that nearly half OF
tie registered voters had cast their
ballots
Following out the plea made 18th
by Republican and Democratic Candi-
dates during the campaign. political
workers around the polls this morn
ing advocated the straight-ticket vote,
which gives more weight to the gen
eral belief that the outcome OF the
election is going TO be interesting.
The, keenest interest in the election
IN the fourth district appeared 70 De
the contest between Edward Hopkins
and Charles II. ROSa Tor the office Of
sheriff, and it is predicted ta.s fight
will be close. There is also consid-
eIsble interest in the Lane-Fern con
test, but many OF the WiseaCres have
expressed doubt whether Fern will be
able to come back" II is conceded
by many that Lane will poll u much
larger vote today than he did in the
primaries.
The following summary shows how
the vote went this morning:

BIG VOTE CAST,
ELECTION QUIET
Continued from Page y

strong attempt is being made to
swing the Chinese vote'-about 500
-soliGly for the sheriff.
At noon today the Republican Or
ganization felt confident that Mayor
John c. Lane would be reelected and
was fairly sure of a majority OF the
board Of supervisors.
AS the day progressed the prophets
began to say that Lester Petrfe, Dem
ocratic candidate for supervisor, does
not look as strong as he did a few
days ago, and that while they rather
think William H. Mcclellan will be
elected to the board, his fellow-Demo-
Gratis chances are not so good.
Many of the observers say that
Daniel Logan's strength has develop
ed to such an extent that he is aX-
tremely likely to poll a higher vote
than Petrie.
AS usual, the states" came forth
early in the day Several reports
reached the Star-Bulletin that the race
issue had been raised in fifth district
and that Hawa;ians there were voting
straight Hawaiian ticket. On the
other hand, many declared this to be
an unjust exaggeration, saying that
the same stories are raised every
year, and every year it is found that
the race-issue voting has been con-
fined to a few ballots only.
