SPLENDID BUSINESS TALK

Monday evening at the Commercial
Club assembly hall, S. A. Clark. OF
Missouri, who is touring the country
making addresses on National Indus.
trial Conservation made a very EN-
tertaining and instructive address on
the questions that confront the manu-
%facturer. farmer, and citizen at the
present time. Mr.. Clark is well posted
on the questions hat he handles and
combines this knowledge of his sub
ieCt with a pleasing voice and a win
ming personality. His voice rings
true to the ideals of American citizen
ship and his words impress his hear
ers with the fact that we at this time
need to watch our steps as We move
along the path of national progress.
Mixed with hard common in his
address were passages that glowed
with the fervor of true e%loquence, and
during all the time that he spoke he
held the closest attention of a goodly
sized audience of the business and
professional men of the city.
Below are given a few paragraphs
Of his remarks that stand out as be
ing of great Importance to the aver
age man. They are beacon lights OF
thought by which we can regulate oul
program of life during the days when
every man is doing all that he can IL
maintain the supremacy of the free
dom, and help the peoples of Europe
achieve a place in the governments o.
the world.
The speaker said in part:
The advocates of industrial pre-
paredness, like the advocates of mill
tary preparedness, found that the first
requisite to success was an intelligent
publicity campaign to educate the
people along industrial lines and ere

our deplorable industrial condition
was due in a large measure to a pro
longed period of legislative hysteria
unrestrained agitation. expensive in

activity. prevented industrial eficien

and discomfort.
Not all Of the high prices are due
to the war. You will remember thai
the high cost of living was one oi

to the republican tariff. But after the

ST. LOUIS RIOT
LONG BREWING.
SAYS VISITOR
Exodus of Whites for War and
Great Influx of Negroes
Responsible

The trouble between the negroes
and the whites in East st. Louis has
been brewing for some time, accord
ing to A. A Marquardt, secretary
treasurer of the Mesker Bros. Iron
Co. of st. Louis, Mo-, who arrived
here recently.
Marduardt's concern is a million
dollar company that has had some big
war contracts. For months back the
situation has been getting tense in
East st. Louis, he says, with the scar
city of whites, many of whom enlist
ed, and the influx of negroes from the
South, but the spark did not ignite
until after he left.
Marquardt says it was absolutely i'm
possible to get mechanics for his
works, although advertisements for
them were inserted in publications
all over the United States.
p. The Mesker concern has done con-
siderable work in Honolulu including
structural work for the Star-Bulletin
building. !;
1t turned out 1000 rolling kitchens
for the French army at cost of about
81, 500, 900. A recent contract from the
United States army for field ovens,
tent pins and various metal equipment
runs near a million dollars.
Marquardt is accompanied by Mrs.
Marquardt, her sister, Mrs. Jessie B.
johnson Of San Francisco, and their
daughter, Miss Marjorie Marquardt
They say it is generally believed in
the Middle West that the Pacific
ocean is infested with submarines and
they were nearly persuaded not to
come here until they got to the west
coast and learned that submarine
has not been seen on this side of the
world.

BILLBCARDS FOR
REGISTRATION AID
FELT NECESSARY

Francis ]. Green, executive officer
Of the central registration board. today
confirmed a report that q member Of
the Outdoor Circle mad informed him
tt1t several women belonging to the
organization were opposed to the use
Of the bil1toards in placing vitality
important registration information be
fore the public, and especially before
those male residents who must regis
ter on July 81. -~. - --:.- ~
A report about objection to billboard
advertising reached the Star Bulletin
today, and Mr.. Green was asked for
the facts. He said that a member OF
the Outdoor Circle had informed him
that several of the women, but not
the organization officially, were op-
posed to the use Of the biIlboards for
posting notices and other advertising
matter incidental to tire registration
campaign. =
Il Informed the member of the cir
cle," Mr.. Green said, that the prob
lem Of advertising registration. day
was not one for the women to solve,
as this was matter entirely In the
hands and within the authority of the
central registration. board.
1T seems to me that an organiza.
ton of this kind should approve any
action Of the board for patriotic rea-
sons" Mr.. Green continued, and do
not believe that any action should be
taken which would interfere with the
workings Of the board, directly or indi-
rectly. We have a big task on our
hands, that OF enrolling more thaa
$4,000 men for the nation"
Mr.. Green says that the board win
use every available means of getting
registration information before the
public, for the reason that 1t Is abso-
lutely necessary that every man in the
territory between the ages of p and
30 register on July 81.
81 have been informed that the
opinion prevails here and there thai
only citizens of the territory must
register" declares Mr.. Green. This
impression is entirely wrong, and it is
to correct such false impressions thai
We must advertise registration day as
fully as we can. setting forth every
possible bit of information, for the
man who does not register is liable
to prison sentence"
All over the mainland, says Mr.
Green, billboards were used to advcr
tise registration day, and the bill;
boards were. considered an excellent
medium for such publicity. He als1
points cut that billboards have been
used extensively for wa: purposes il

FINANCE WRINKLE
CAUSES CONkLING
MUCH PERPLEXITY
Barred From Putting Liquor
License Revenue Into the
Cash Basis Fund

The cash basis fund is causing D.
L. Conkling, city and county treas
urer, considerable trouble. He should
have set II aside at the end Of June
but as the tax valuation Of the county
had not then been announced he was
unable to do so and now the bank eX-
aminer and the. city aaditor have
ruled that the money from the liquor
licenses cannot be used for this pur'
pose.
In commenting on the situation,
Conkling says:
The cash basis fund is made up of
receipts accruing to the treasury dur
ing the six months in which it was
collected.
1T has always been the custom to
look upon the liquor license money
which is turned In on the last day OF
the first six months of the year as 4
filler for the cash basis fund.
Now the bank examiner, NJ. H.
Drummond, informs me as the liquor
licenses are collected for the period
July l to December 81, the money
is not available for the cash basis
fund and Drummond is backed up by
the city and county auditor, James
Bicknell.
This ruling is surprising because
when Drummond was city and county
treasurer he used the liquor license
money to make up his cash basis
fund.
Il think after having set a prece
dent it Is a rather peculiar decision
at this time.
II have been unable to date to set
aside any money in the cash basis
fund accurately because cannot find

What Is considered good news by
persons interested in Honolulu Con-

gram from the mainland bearing the
brief message, Judge Bledsoe dis
qualified.
Suit over lands held by the oil COM
pany has been in progress for many
months, and one Of the arguments ad-
vanced by the company has been that
Judge Bledsoe held interest In other
companies and should be barred trom

Today's message seems to indicate
that the stand Of the Honolulu Inter
ests in this regard has been accepted
In that Bledsoe has been dtsqualhied
in the case.
Prospects for Honolulu Consoltdat-
ed OH are exceedingly bright, accord
ing to one Of that corporations attor-

rived here on the Maui. Whitaker Is

LEGAL FIGHT FOR
FERNS NOMINEES
:. SEEMS UNLIKELY

A report in political circles to the
effect that tx Democratic party will
petition the supreme court to declare
all appointive offices in the city and
county vacant, thereby making 1t
necessary for the Republican majority
of the board of supervisors to accept
Mayor J. j. Ferns nominations, is
emphatically denied by Bourbon lead
ers, who say they doubt whether the
boards action on the mayors appoint
ments viii ever be taken into the
courts. 49,.
A man in close touch with Demo
cratic headquarters says. that whether
such a move could be effected by the
Bourbons remains entirely with the
justices of the supreme court to de-
eide, since II is a legal question.
Commenting on the report today, a
veteran politician points out that the
appointiye offices virtually are vacant
at the present time, as Mayor Fern 3
announcement of appointments gives
the present efficeholders 80 days in
which to Vacate. But whether these
offices will be vacated at the end OF
the 80 days depends entirely on the
action taken on the mayors appoint
ments which now lie on the table.
The position taken by the board
that it has the appointive power looks
strange to me-" said L. l. MeCandless
today. THE law provides that the In
itiative lies with the mayor, and not
the board as a whole. The fact that
the board assumes the right to make
all appointments appears ridiculous to
me.
As far as l know there has been
no discussion of a plan to take the
matter to the supreme court. do not
believe the Democrats have any idea
of resorting to the courts in matter
of this kind l was surprised to see
that Ben Hollinger wants to block the
probe being made by H. Gooding
Field. He cannot do it. 1t seems to
me he would be the last member OF
the board to suggest such a thing. l
think he would be glad to see such
an investigation go through.
"As a matter of fact, the Democrats
have laid out no definite plans as yet.
What viii be done in the end depends
entirely upon the actions of the board
of supervisors. think the Democratic
members intend to give the Republi-
can majority every. leeway in order
to find out definitely what they de-
sire TO DO with the mayors appoint
ments'
The city han atmosphere is not that
Of an approaching storm. It, is, be-
liered that all members of the board
.desire to get down 10 city business as
speedily as possible. e.
