COAL PRICES NOT
JUSTIFIED BY COST
Commission Says Operators
Boosted Rates Because
Railroads Fail to Fur
nish Cars.
BULLETIN.

oOALS i INs
Washington, May 2l.-The In
terstate Commerce commission, the
supreme court, decided today, has
power to compel railroads to fur
nish a reasonably adequate" sup
ply of coal cars to handle normal
and seasonal" demands for inter-
state commerce, originating at
mines along their lines and to
award reparation to shippers for
failure to supply such cars.
Washington, May 2l.-Thc bitumi-
nous coal shortage is blamed on the
railroads, in report today by the
federal trade commission.
Producers, by taking advantage OF
the lack of cars, are charged with re-
sponsibility, however, for prevailing
high prices.
There is no scarcity of coal in the
ground" the report says. There is
sufficient coal in the bituminous coal
mines now being operated, not only
to supply the present demand, but
also to supply greatly increased de-
mand.
The unprecedented demand for this
fuel in the last six months, together
with the difficulties Of rail and water
transportation. not only have abb
sorbed the coal as fast as ii could be
shipped from the mines, but has led
also to almost complete exhaustion OF
the coal stored at tidewater points
and at the docks on the great lakes.
The country faces serious state
Of affairs in obtaining commodity
which is basic to practically every
form OF its military and industrial &C
tivity.
Will Control Distribution.
"Undcr war time conditions" says
the report, ut may become the duty
of the government to take steps SINH
lar to those found necessary by bel
ligerent European countries and not
only to regulate the distribution of
coal from the mouth of the mine to
the ultimatec consumer by allotting the
quantity, of the product which the
different classes OF consumers shall
be allowed to purchase, but also to
establish the prices to be paid by diff
fcrent classes OF consumers. =
At time like the present excessive
profits should not be permitted to
be extorted from the public by pro-
ducers and distributors of any prime

PECKFORHE
PRATT MANAGER,
IS R. 7. RUMOR

Either this afternoon or tomorrow
afternoon a meeting OF the directors
of the Honolulu Rapid Transit Co. will
be held to consider the acceptance OF
the resignation of c. G. Rallentyne as
manager of the street car company.
The call for the meeting for this after
noon has been issued, but this morning
it was thought that the meeting
might have to be postponed until to-
morrow, due to late issuance Of the
meeting notice.
NO policy has been determined
upon," was the only statement Tenney
Peck, president Of the company, would
make this morning when he was Ques-
toned regarding the report that Alex
ander Pratt, the superintendent, was
to succeed to part Of the duties of Mr..
Ballenyne, and that Mr.. Peck was to
be the executive head.
Another rumor stated that a main
land street car man was to be
brought here to act as the manager of
the company.

BANKRUPT OWES
S5S,OOO;
TOTAL ONLY S4OO

What is declared to be the largest
action OF its kind to be brought before
federal court in the last several years
is the petition for adjudication in
bankruptcy which has been filed by
D. j. Winslow, whose liabilities, &C
cording to the petition, amount to
SIS, S41.50, while his assets total $40O,
represented by household furniture.
The petition shows that unsecured
claims amount to S5S.491.50, and &C
commodation paper to $3.50.
One Of the peculiarities OF the pc
tition is that apparently none of the
liabilities exist in Honolulu, all debts
having been contracted on the main
land. Among the states mentioned in
which the petitioner has liabilities are
Wisconsin. Illinois, Michigan, Idaho,
Oregon, New York, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania. Many Of the liabilities,
the petition shows, represent cash
loaned on notes, supplies and merchan-
disc. The largest separate liability
was contracted in Boston, Mass, in
1907, and is for cash on notes in the
sum of $1S,4S0. The next largest was
contracted in Milwaukee and Chicago
in 1907, and represents cash on notes
in the sum Of $4,000.
Another outstanding feature Of the
petition is that 35 liabilities were con-
tracted in 1907, 10 years ago, and total
$57,741.50.

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

X x x x x X x X X X x x x x x
Soap should be used very carefully.
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use IS
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One OF two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easi-
ly, removing every particle of dust,
dirt dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and il
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine
and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to fanage.
You can get mulsified eoeoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it S very cheap, and
a few ounces win supply every mem
ber of the family for months.
