This bill would prevent the families of officials resid- ing there, repeating sections of the statutes which require 1t in some in- stances. Senator Greenhouse refused to give up the bill, saying that the committee had 10 days in which to pass upon it. President Davenport in- formed he was mistaken, for the sen- ate could recall it at any time. He then expressed a willingness to return the bill at once and fight it out on the floor before adjournment. To prevent alengthy debate, the senate then ad- burned.

WILSON FRANKLY ADMITS HE'S MAD
 AT KIRBY EI AL.
At Luncheon for Democratic Committee President
 Pleads for Unity.

Washington, March 6.-President t Wilson expressed in forcible language his disappointment over the senate's failure to pass the armed neutrality
 bill and discussed at length his con- ception of the underlying basis of permanent peace, in an informal talk today at white house luncheon to
 the members of the Democratic na- tional committee.
 The president declared he was "mad" over the attitude of the little
 group of senators who held up the
 armed neutrality bill. and indicated
 that he hoped for results if he tried again for it's passage The present he said, is not the time for partisan
 or factional conflicts over interna-
 tional affairs, because the need is inn
 perative that Americans shall stand
 united. He decried bitterness in dis
 cussions of the situation.
 The underlying principles of demo-
 cracy were declared by MT. Wilson as the only principles on which govern
 ments can endure and on which permanent peace can be maintained.
 He said the consent of the governed
 must be behind the government. He referred to Alsace-Lorraine as typical of the causes of war which must be
 avoided if permanent peace is to be
 achieved. Reiterating his hope that the United States will play part III , building up structure for the main i tenance of permanent peace after the
 present war, he declared that such peace can be founded only on just
 principles, meeting the aspirations of
 all the peoples of the world.
 No stenographer was present dur ing the presidents speech, and It's text was not made public.
 Uniform Hour to- Close Polls. The luncheon was given in honor of Vance Mccormick, chairman of the Democratic national committee and the other members, who assisted in MT. Wilson's reelection. At meet ing of the committee today move
 ment was started to bring about the
 adoption of uniform hour for clos ing the election polls in all parts or the country.
 A. Mitchell Palmer, national com
 mitteeman from Pennsylvania, dis cussed the question in detail, and finally it was left in the hands of the
 executive committee. The claim was made that in the last election Repub- lican victories in the East were re- ported to Western states before the
 hour for closing the polls, and that as
 result many Democrats gave up hope and did not vote. Plans for the next congressional and presidential election were discussed.
 Mrs. George Baff, chairman of the women's committee, told how 10 of the 12 suffrage states had been carried for MT. Wilson.

GERMANS LOSE THE
 PRIZE SHIP APPAM

Washington, March 6.-British claimants of the German prize ship Appam at Newport News, Va, today won their suit in the supreme court to regain possession of the vessel and cargo.
 In sustaining the British libel at tachment suits against the Appam and cargo the court held that the British owners are entitled to restitution be- cause the Appam violated American neutrality.
 Treaties of 1799 and 1928 between the United States and Germany, the court held, do not entitle German prizes, unaccompanied by the captor warship, to indefinite American asylum.
 Jurisdiction of American courts over the Appam was upheld. Findings of Federal Judge Waddell of Virginia that the Appam violated American neutrality, after being brought into Hampton Roads year ago by Captain Hans Berg and a German prize crew, were sustained and approved by the court.

A Loss to the Community

Miss Daisy Sheldon left on the
Kinau last SATURDAY. for Honolulu,
where she will teach during the
coming year. Her transfer will take
from the community one who has
earned the respect and regard of all
who knew her; one who was always
ready to help in every way within
her power in every worthy enter
prise and in every public endeavor.
A faithful and efficient worker in
Sunday School and Christian En-
deavor; a stand by in the church
choir, rain or shine; a reliable and
willing member of the Mokihana
Club; and a ready respondent to
any and every demand of a public
kind that came up: the words of
the Master are her best characterize
tion.-"She hath done what she
could, (which is the highest praise
that can be given to any one.
We are glad of the assurance that
she is to remain in Honolulu only
one year; wa shall be glad to well
come her back.

A Pretty Afternoon Wedding

The Lihue Union Church was the
scene of a charming afternoon we'd
ding, Thursday Aug. 30th, when
Mr.. E. Livesey of the wireless was
married to Mrs. Josephine L. Deas
of Waipouli by Rev. J. M. Lydgate
in the presence Of some 40 or more
Of their intimate friends.
The church was very effectively
decorated in palms, ferns, and large
masses of white lilies by the sisters
of the bride, Mrs. Cheatham and
Mrs. Israel.
The bride was simply but very
prettily gowned in white silk crepe
de chine.
The bridal bouquet, the work of
the sisters, was very original and
effective combination of white flow
ers, ferns and white silk streamers,
starred with white narcissus.
After the ceremony the bride,
standing on the steps of the church,
threw the bouquet out to the guests
assembled on the lawn. 1t fell to
Mr.. Chas. S. Dole.
The bridal couple motored to Ha-
nalei where they will spend weeks
honeymoon at Pilikai, the Isenberg
beach home.

Something We Need

Some of the teachers returning
from the coast tell with interest OF
the School Survey which has been
made recently in San Francisco,
which will undoubtedly lead to a
more or less thorough reconstruc-
tion of the schools Of that city,
The survey, which extended over
several months, dealt not only with
the actual teaching, but with the
course of study, the equipment of
the teachers and the methods en-
ploysd finding, I'VE understand much
to criticise in each department.
The survey was so unostentatious-
ly conducted that very many of
the teachers involved didn't even
know that it was going on. Never
theless it is reported to be a most
thorough and exhaustive investiga-
ton. Such an investigation, i'm
partial, thorough, and conclusive
in its findings should be conducted
on these Islands, that we may have
some intelligent knowledge of where
we stand.

The Ball Games

The second series of the Baseball
season started off Sunday afternoon
with two games, one being between
the Lihues and McBrydes, at Ele-
Gle, and the other the Makawelii
and Makees, at Makaweli. There
were good crowds at both places,
and the best of weather favored the
contests.
The Lihues, crippled by the loss
of their pitcher and catcher, put
up a game fight at Eleele, but
blew up' in the fifth and sixth
innings. letting their opponents in
for six runs. The final score was
six to two in favor of the homers.
The game at Makaweli was sharp
ly contested throughout, and closed
3 to 2 in favor of the home team,
the visitors having full bases at the
time. The Makawelis made all of
their runs in a single inning.
1t is interesting that the victors
in the first games of the first series
are losers in the first games of the
second series, indicating that some
fast baseball is in prospect.

Out Of the Ordinary

Mr.. and Mrs. Hopper, Mr.. and
Mrs. Clapper, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Wood accomplished strenuous and
unusual weekend outing last week
that will put them at the head OF
the list for some time.
Starting in the small hours of the
morning on Saturday they made
Haena lalo by daylight and Hama
kapiai, over the hazardous cliff trail
by 8 O'Clock. Here they camped
on bit of sandy beach in the shell
ter of an overhanging cliff that pro-
tected them, in imagination at
least, against any weather that there
might have been, From this head
quarters they explored and enjoyed
the wonders and beauties of this
little known and interesting region.
They also fished; but to little pur-
pose; the fish were on a vacation
too.
7 hey returned early Monday
morning very much impressed with
the charm of the region but also
with the conviction that one ought
to give it more time after going so
far.

A Scientists Conclusions

DR.. Campbell whose visit to Kau-
al we chronicled a few weeks ago,
has completed his investigations
here for the present, and has found
what he considers pretty conclusive
evidence of the land connection of
these Islands with the East Indian
Islands and the Malay Peninsula.
His study has been devoted to
the liverwort MOSES, which show
many forms almost identical with
those of Java especially, which
would seem to indicate a continu-
Gus land connection at one time,
ages ago. This indication is con-
firmed by striking similarity of
some notable plants of the higher
orders, for example, the kukui,
the puhala, the ie-ie, etc. These
are common throughout the Pacific,
distribution that would seem to
involve lines of land travel for their
dissemination.
DR. Campbell will devote some
considerable time to the careful
study of his data before formally
publishing his results.
