If We undertake the survey hope

weeks, but my expenses would be
paid, If i come. and will not be charg.
ed to the territory.
Dr.. Claxton makes it pain that the
U. S. bureau views with enthusiasm
the plan to conduct survey here.
The. experts who would carry out the
survey would be here for three months
at least. He also gives the informa-
ton that the federal government is
prepared to spend about $4,000 as its
share of the expenses, this including
the cost of preparing and printing the
report.
The cost to the territory is estimat-
ed at $4,000 at the outside. For this
amount three CT more experts could
be brought from the mainland. Fur
thermore. various private educational
institutions. Endorsing the survey idea,

ALIEN HEAD TAX
IS DOUBLED BY
IMMIGRATION Law
Act Effective May | Means All
Aliens Must Pass Tests in
Reading Before Sailing

Beginning May every alien leaving
Honolulu for San Francisco. whether
first cabin or steerage, will have TO
pay head tax" of IS instead OF 81,
under the new immigration bill. which
will become effective on that date.
The law, which contains the literary
test" clause, was passed by the senate
over the presidents veto.
Head Tax Is Doubled
On the first day OF May every alien
leaving Asiatic ports for Honolulu will
be required, before sailing. to pass
the literacy test, reading 40 words in
any language he selects. Unless 10
can read, the steamship agency will
not be allowed to sell him ticket to
the United States.
Resdina Tests in Orient
According to the shipping depart
ment of Castle & Cooke, the local
agent for the Togo Kisen Kaisha,
which brings more Asiatics to Homo
lulu every year than any other foreign
steamship line, the literacy test clause
in the new law will cause the 7. K.
KS agencies in the Orient tremend-
Gus lot of additional work, as it will
be UP to them to give the reading tests
to all prospective passengers.
1t will also undoubtedly greatly re-
duce the number of Asiatics coming
to Hawaii. San Francisco steamship
men say 1t will cut the number down
one-half. as all intending alien pas
sengers who can not read will not be
sold tickets. United States Immigra-
tion Inspector Richard l.. Halsey, in
charge OF this port, said today the new
law places the examination for aliens
coming to Hawaii on the same basis
as aliens entering any mainland port
of the United States
FiIipinos Are Exempt
The literaoy test win not apply to
Filipinos coming to Hawaii to work
on sugar plantations as they are
United States subjects even il their
status as American citizens is in doubt
at the present time.
Aliens coming to Honolulu from the
Orient, Australia or other foreign
countries will not have to pay head
tax on arrival here as this territory
Is classed as an insular possession Of
the United States.
Head Tax Collected Here
On leaving Honolulu for San Fran
cisco, however, every alien. viii now
have TO pay q head tax of SO. just
double the present tax. This tax viii
be collected by the steamship agencies
here and forwarded to the United
States immigration officials at Fan
Francisco. The increased tax viii un-
doubtedly result in loud protest from
Australians who come here on the
Makura and Niagara and go on to San
Francisco by Matson steamers. 1t viii
have to be paid by all aliens, whether
first cabin. second or steerage.
Arrivals Here Exempt
The new law provides head tax ex-
emptions for aliens arriving in Guam,
Porto Rico or Hawaii, but II any such
alien shall later reach a United States
port On the North American continent
the head tax must be paid In respect
OF him" There are also exemptions
for diplomats. officials of foreign gov
ernments and certain other classes.

RESOLUTION CALLS
ON OFFICIALS TO
EXPLAIN INACTION
KelekoIio in Fiery Speech De-
mands Information; House
Agrees and Passes Request
to Military Committee

Why have the members Of the beard
OF harbor commissioners not yet taken
action toward removing the German
refugee ships from Honolulu harbor
as recommended by a resolution re-
Gently adopted in the house OF repre-
hentatiyes?
The house today demanded an an
swer 10 this question by adopting q
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Bernard KeIekoiio. Kelekoiio de-
Tended his measure in a fiery speech
from the floor, asserting that the
crews OF the steamers "haye threat
ened 10 destroy them"
Let them take themselves ont into
the harbor and blow themselves up,
the Hawaii scion shouted. Il see the
harbor board mas put the ships under
a 100000 bond. What is 100000 to
the German government? There is a
million dollars worth Of property on
the Honolulu waterfront"
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas. Il has appeared In the
recent issues of the local press d.
vers statements and charges Of the
impotency of the board Of harbor
commissioners In removing the Ger
man vessels from the respective
piers where they are now located,
and
whereas, no definite results have
been accomplished by reason OF the
public's desire to have those vessels
removed before any menace or dam
age may be done to the harbor Of
Honolulu, and
Whereas, In the opinion Of this
house such impotency ON the part
Of the harbor commissioners Is a
dereliction OF rs duty TO the people
Of this territory.
Therefore, resolved, that said
board or harb0r commissioners be
requested to inform this house the
reasons and capse q why said ships
cannot be removed. and 10 submit
an papers. minutes 81 meetings ana
letters. Il any. covering said subject'
within forty-eieht (4S) hours

ferred to the committee on health. po-
lice and military. This committee TO-.

OAHU MEMBERS At
WORK ON CHARTER


AS the members of the Oahu dele.
gaticn went into session at O'Clock
this afternoon to consider the charter
bill, rumors were rife on the floor re-
garding probable changes in and
amendments to the measure as it now
stands.
One report was that the delegation
would vote. down the amendment pro-
posed by the Chamber of Commerce
giving the board of supervisors the
power to appoint heads of depart
ments. The delegation, il was further
reported. undoubtedly would retain the
present system which makes all Of
fees elective, but would create the Of
flee of chief Of police. providing that
this officer be appointed by the mayor
with the consent of the board of SUI
pervisors. Such action would tend to
take the control of the police depart
rent from the sheriff, making him a
civil officer.
ton may consider provision whereby
the mayor will appoint superintend-
ent of city works, with the approval
Of the supervisors.
1t is reported althoritatively that
the Oahu delegation of both houses
has practically agreed that the charter
bill as now before the house should
stand with no other radical changes.
The principal feature of the discus
sion this afternoon doubtless win
hinge on the election of supervisors.
At present they are elected at large.
Various proposals have been made tina.
three shall be elected from the fourth
and three from the fifth, with the
mayor at large.
