GERMAN SUCCESSES

WAR in OTHER DAYS

Amsterdam. Aug. 6.During the

viewing the three years Of the war, is
quoted by Yorwaerts ais saying:
III, nevertheless, these unexampled
German successes, which in earlier
times would long ago have brought
peace, have not carried us any
further, 1t Is because the general
world political and economical situ-
alton operates only in favor Of our
enemies who have been able to enlist
help from their ever-growing number
Of allies. This aid has enabled them
to carry on the war until the present
date and SO It has come about that
our soldiers have been really cheated
out Of the fruits OF their victories

Il Washington. D. c.. Aug. 6.-Before
the selective service army or any OF
the state militia are sent abroad, the
United States supreme court Is to be
asked to pass on the constitute onality
Of sending them overseas.
If the court holds such action would
be unconstitutional, the draft army
would be held at home and foreign
operations would have to be carried
on by the regulars and by men who
volunteered for such service.
The constitutional test will be made
} by cases to be brought in various fed
Grad districts. Writs will be sued
out in the nature of habeas corpus
writs to prevent moving the militia
toward foreign destinations. Appeals
from these cases will be- taken by
whichever party loses, and all will be
brought together in q hearing before
the United States supreme court,
whicn will be- expedited in every way
possible.

SOCIETY ROW MAY
LEAD TOCOURTS
Portuguese Organization Re.
fuses to Accept Authority OF
Purported Mainland Head

Because a man claiming to be the
supreme president of the mother or
ganization on the mainland demand
ed the books, documents and funds OF
the Sac Madeira Society, a local for-
tuguese branch lodge, in order 10 ell
feet purported reorganization OF the
Honolulu society, the members OF the
Sac Madeira have retained attorneys
and declare that, If necessary, theS
will 90 to court to determine thelr
rights.
At the police station today is the
dav book of the local society, which,
members declare, they placed In the
hands of Sheriff Charles H. Rose last
night for safe keeping, after they mad
refused a demand of the so-called SUI
preme president of the mother lodge
to turn it and other documents and
funds over to him.
The supreme president, say mem
bers of the Sac Madeira, came here
about two months ago for his health.
He is said to have attended a recent
meeting of the society, but did not an
nounce that he was the supreme presi.
dent. He was approached by mem
bers and told that, if he we're an Off
Ger, they would appoint committee
to welcome him and formally present
him to the other members. He Is said
to have declined this courtesy, insist
ing that he was not an officer.
1t is further alleged that the su
preme president exhibited a letter,
supposedly from the California lodge,
to the effect that, If the Sac Madeira
Society was disorganized, he should
reorganize it and take charge of the
books and funds while the reorgani-
cation was in progress. A member OF
the Sac Madeira declared today that
the members Of the society had re-
fused to surrender the books on the
ground that the society was not disor-
ganized and that it had the right OF
appeal before any action could be
taken.
A meeting was held last night at
which, members say, the so-called SUI
preme president called for a vote for
the admittance of a man who is al
legged to have been refused member
ship on a number Of occasions. They
declare that on one occasion 1t was
necessary 70 call in the police to have
this man elected from the meeting
place. -.
Members say that the visitor then
demanded that the books, records and
funds be turned over to him, and that
they refused, whereupon he attempt
ed to secure possessio nof the minute
book. The president of the local So
ciety then advised the members to
submit the matter to the local courts
to determine the righs Of the local So
ciety. Members say that the Sac
Madeira is not disorganized and that
there Is no apparent ground for a re-
organization at this time.
1t was reported today that both the
society and the so-called supreme pres
iden have retained attorneys.

retail Division
OF PUBLIC MARKET
IS DISCONTINUED
official Announcement Says Its
Purpose Accomplished, No
Need For It Now

Honolulu's only retail meat market
that has been able to undersell other
similar local concerns, and to give to
the public meat at a figure consider.
ed fairly reasonable, has been put out
OF business.
An announcement issued late yester-
day by the territorial marketing divi-
sion Is to the effect that beginning
Saturday, December /, the retail de-
partments Of the division will be dis.
continued by order of the board Of
agriculture and forestry. The divi.
sion will continue to sell at Wholesale
only such island products as are re.
ceiyed. IL.
The announcement states that the
dfscontinuance of the retail depart.
ments Is due to the lack of equipment
and an uncertain supply Of a sufficient
variety Of island products. c. S. Judd,
executive officer Of the forestry board,
says that the retail market was mere
ly side issue when the market was
started, and points out that it was
only meant to be continued IL there
proved to be need for it, but 1t was
found that the market for the products
was already established without that,
so there was no need of continuing It..
According to A. L. Castle, executive
officer of the territorial food commits.
sion, the discontinuance Of the retail
department is wise move. He de-
clares 1t will do away with the anita
gonism with which the wholesalers
and dealers have regarded the mar.
keting division. II am sure" he con.
tinues, that the food commission feels
that 1t is step forward and will re-
suit In much more satisfactory opera,

HARBOR BOARD IS
OUT 5000 Owing.
TO PACT FAILURE.

Failure of the Standard American
Dredging company of San Francisco
to carry out an alleged plan to bid on
the placing Of hydraulic fill on Pier
2, Honolulu harbor, has cost the ter
ritory the useless expenditure OF ap-
proximately $4,000.
As the result OF an understanding
between the harbor board and the
dredging company's representative tn
dredging company's local representa-
tive that hydraulic material could be
placed on the fill at low figure, thus
providing big saving to the terri
tory, wooden retaining wall was
/ constructed on the pier site at cost
OF $4,S67 some months ago. The wall
has just been removed by the harbor
board in order to save any material
possible for salvage before 1t had be-
come unfit for use. II
According to the story told by har.
Dor board representatives today, the
noard was approached by the repre-
sentative of the dredging company
after that firm had secured dredg-
ing contract with the army engineers
1t was proposed that the board use
the waste material from the dredg-
ing, and plans were presented by
which this could be done: Believing
that big saving could thus be made
for the territory, the board contract
ed for the construction OF the wall
and as soon as it was completed call
ed for bids on the fill proper.
1t was supposed that the low bidder
would be the Standard American
Dredging company at the theoretical
figure of IL cents a foot, it was said
today, but to the surprise and dis.
may Of the board the company offer.
ed no bid whatever. The lowest other
bid was 60 cents a yard which was
considered by the board as impos.
sible. All bids were rejected accord.
ingly. The proposed fill was to amount
to $4,000 yards, to be reduced some
by the proposed swimming slip.
Chairman W. R. Hobby expressed
the belief today that the work can be
done under The loan fund, but not un-
til money is available from the sale
Of bonds, but the construction cannot
proceed as cheaply as would have
been possible had the hoped for con-
tract been secured.
AS the Standard American has not
yet appeared on the scene to fulfill
an army contract more than the year
old, the army has already awarded
an emergency contract to the Ha
waiian Dredging company in order
that the work on the new quarantine
wharf might proceed.

MRS. OSBORNEIS
CALLED BY Death

Mrs. Ella Peabody Osborne Of this
city died shortly before noon today
at Queens hospital following an ILL
ness Of more than year and a half,
and which had rendered her con.
slant invalid for the last several
months. Funeral arrangements will
be announced later.
Mrs. Osborne, whose maiden name
was Ella Western Peabody, was born
at Newburyport, Massachusetts,, March
%, 1852, and was thus 65 years, 8
months and days of age. She was
the widow Of Amos Wright Osborne
of Colorado, whose death occurred in
1908.
A little after her husbands death,
Mrs. Osborne, accompanied by her
niece, who was then Miss Julia Pea
body, came to Hawaii to join rela-
tives. Mrs Osborne became Hatron
Of Mills school, and held that position
for three and one-half years.
She later taught in a private school
on Kauai, was manager for a year at
Kaiulani Home in this city, and still
later took private classes in English
and mathematics among the young ORR.
entails Of Honolulu. She was mem.
Der Of Central Union church and an
active church woman. She took a
silent pride in the active and success
full part she played in the fund rails
ing campaign of the Y. W. c. A. some
months ago.
In May Of 1916 she underwent a
critical operation from which she re.
covered quite fully, but the following
February she was compelled to under
90 another which left her much weak
ened. After this she never again re-
gained her former strength, though
her courage and optimism during these
days was remarkable, as she seldom
referred to her suffering and bore it
cheerfully.
AS a young woman Mrs. Osborne had
exceptional vocal talents and delight
ed in solo and chorus work.

Anna Peabody Dodge and Mrs. Grace
Peabody Boardman, sisters; Mrs.
Frank E. Blake, Mrs. John F. Stone,
