caused City Engineer Collins TO act.
Collins took the matter up with
the Spalding Company and IL was said
this afternoon that the cutting has
been discontinued Only two trees
were cut down. According TO the con-
tract which exists ne;ween the city
and county and the Spalding c0nstruc-
tion Company relative 20 the paving

Engineer Collins said today that he
had ordered the spalding company to
stop cutting the trees until such time

made to save them.

SPECIAL PROVOST
BACK AT SHAFTER

One hundred and fifty or more
bleached grass spots where their
tents were pitched are all that re-
main this afternoon on the Capitol
grounds to signify that five companies
of infantry have been encamped there
sor the last IL days. 1..
HcnoluIu's special provost guard, as
sembled by orders from headquarters
on the evening of February to pro-
,tect the city from possible harm, re-
turned at o'clock this morning to
Fort Shafter.
The breaking up of camp was car
ried out with true military discipline.
Tents went down in a twinkling, we're
rolled up and soon we're on the shoul-
ders of the army men, and shortly
afterwards special cars of the Rapid
Transit Company were rolling the
special guard home.
This is the only big withdrawal of
troops 1t was stated today at head
quarters. The troops guarding the
water mains that lead to Pearl Har-
Dor and Fort Kamehameha are still
maintained in the camp at the naval
station. The 1st Infantry is also en-
camped yet at Fort Shafter.

Deny PUNITIVE
SALLY IN MEXICO
Associated Pres. by Federal wireless,

GAssociated Press by Federal WireIeasl
Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 15.-Uncle
Sam has no intention of going into
Mexico again IL he can help IT, At
least the military authorities here on
the border line have taken no step
to chase the Villa bandits, who, Feb
ruary 10, raided this side of the line,
captured 109 horses and much live
stock, murdered Americans and kid
naped three members of the Mormon
colony which they had sacked.
There; is no trace of the missing
men and the American troops are still
guarding the border carefully-and
waiting for orders from Washington
Early, in the day yesterday reports
from Hachita declared that two troops
of American cavalry were on the trail
CT the bandits and we're running them
to earth. Later another report de-
clared that two troops from the 18th
United States Cavalry had crossed the
border line in the vicinity of the town
and were in hot pursuit of the ban
dts. The latter were said to be
rapidly fleeing, still holding to their
booty of horses, cattle and Americans.
The first doubt regarding such an
action came when army headquarters
declared that no report of punitive
force of U. S. cavalry having crossed
the border In chase after Villista raid
ers had been received, and subsequent
developments showed that the troops
had not crossed the border and that
the missing men are still missing, and
may have been murdered by the ban.

REPUBLICANS DELAY
FURTHER IN CALLING
FOR NOMINATIONS

A call for nominations for the Re.
publican county committeeman and
for delegates to the county platform
convention will be made March l and
the election will be held March 10.
Several weeks ago it was said that
the call would be made today but the
possibility of the legislature changing
the charter doing away with the pm.
mary election is looming larger each
day and for that reason the minds
Of the political leaders are somewhat
unsettled.
AS the legislature convenes Febru-
airy 81 and as this matter will receive
attention first, the county commit
tee will be on surer footing in March
than at the present time.

Another result which Is extremely

reduction OF the average age of the
eighth grade pupils. This was in
June, 1914, 15.2 years, whereas in 1916
it was 14.5. This reduction means not
only very material saving Of terri
torial funds but, still more important,
it means great saving in time spent
In school on the part of pupils.
The retrospect over the work done

larly interesting because 1t makes it
possible to show through absolutely
tangible evidence and statistical data
that results worth while are being
