.HEALTHOF Officer
BROKEN BY TYPHOID
Captain Riggs Would Resign
From Service For m Health

Captain j.. Morton Riggs, Quarter
master Corps Reserve, has rendered his
resignation to President Wilson be-
cause of ill.health, but no notification
Of action upon the same has been re-
ceived here from the national capital.
Captain Riggs was one of the first
Of the civilians of Honolulu to receive
call to duty as an officer last year,
and was assigned to duty with the
pay branch Of the Jquartermaster corps.
He had charge Of the paying off Of the
troops throughout the department com
mand, until he was laid low with ty-
phoid fever, which about that time
had broken out at Schofeld Barracks.
He was confined to his home for many
weeks and had a period of GONZALES
cence at the Volcano House, returning
here short time ago.
Captain Riggs was beyond sixty
when called to service, but his consti-
tuition then was admirable and but for
the raVages of typhoid he would prob
ably have continued in service.
Notice of his application for resigna-
ton was announced at headquarters
yesterday morning.
The captain has been a resident of
Honolulu for the past twenty years,
and had filled many important positions
with leading commercial organizations,
his last with the Pacific Guano and Fer.
tilizer Company, which he left to en-.
ter active service.

Sugar Is Unprotected

HDEFORE the war all that was necessary to set
~ all Hawaii by the ears was to propose the re-
nioval Of the tariff on sugar and yet this is what
has been practically done by the sugar commission
when il fixedsa price for Cuban sugar fob Cuba
and price for Hawaiian sugar in New York with
only one cent pound, the duty. as difference in
the price of Cuban sugar plus freight and insur-
ance, in the two prices. Little or nothing has
been heard in comment on this from the sugar in
terests of the Islands. very little complaint has
been voiced the general public is not yet awake to
the fact and yet the effect is just about the same
as If the duty had been removed, far re-
turns to Hawaiian sugar growers 60
Six cent sugar in New York does not mean six
cent sugar in Honolulu by long way. When
freight, the payment Of twe dollars for handling
all Hawaiian shipments, commissions and other
expenses are added the figure has been cut down
to the bone. The price for Cuban sugar in New
York has been fixed at approximately 500 ton.
After making the payments mentioned the net
proceeds to the Hawaiian grower is $S77S while
after deducting his shipping expenses the Cuban
grower is receiving $92 ton, price better than
that for Hawaiian sugar by $4.25 a ton. For
Western sugar the returns are larger for the Ha-
waiian grower who in the San Francisco market
receives about SIS more than the Cuban grower
does in New. York. Averaging it up, the Cuban
price and the Hawaiian price net the producer
Just about the same for the raw sugar sold but
the costs for producing the Hawaiian raws have
been much higher than were those Of the Cuban
planter 81 .H&E.@ s{5#%
Here we have to wait eighteen months for our
crop, we have to irrigate and large quantities of
fertilizers are required, many times as much as
the Cuban lands.require. 1t was to make up for
this the tariff was levied to protect the Hawaiian
planter. To place prices on par with the status
quo ante il would be necessary for the commits
sions to fix aprice Of At least $50 fob Honolulu
for the Hawaiian product.
1t is an interesting phase of war conditions that
TINS should have been accomplished without pro-
test onsthe part of the people of Hawaii and with
quiet acquiescenceNon their part. e..
The figure given for Cuban sugar represents a
price at Havana and not at all points in Cuba for
the difference between the allowed freight from
Havana and the actual freight from the other ship
ping points of the Island OF Cuba, has to be alb
sorbed by the Cuban grower and must be deduct
ed from his net return. In some Instances this
amounts to as much as $40 ton. ~>,> d..

Difficult Task We'll Done

IF there be anyone in Hawaii not thoroughly
i satisfied with the good faith of those who have
reorganized Hackfeld & Co. as an American firm
through and through, that person is beyond reason
and incapable OF satisfaction Hackfelds, which
until two o'clock yesterday was firm controlled
by aliens, and alien enemies at that, was turned
over during the afternoon to control by five Ho-
nolulu Americans in whose absolute loyalty in
word, deed and thought there can be no possible
question. Not only do these FIVE hold the voting
majority on the board of directors but they have
been able to associate with themselves on the
board others OF, unclouded Americanism, all but
two being American born. y
The two naturazed Americans have proven
their sympathy with the cause of the United
States against Prussian autocracy and have abso-
lutely satisfied those who know them best Their
presence on the recognized dictatorship strength
ems il as an American board and The Advertiser
says this advisedly.
The choice which confronted those holding the
voting majority of the Hackfeld stock lay between
wrecking the great and historic firm, which has
played So great a part in the development of Ha-
waii, wiping it out of existence as Hackfeld & Co
and allowing its component parts to pass into the
control Of varied interests, of reorganlzing from
the ground up; transferring through aboveboard
methods the control and placing into the manage,
ment of the firm men whose patriotic integrity
none could doubt Wisely the latter course was
chosen. Hackfeld & Co. will go on, with greater
usefulness to Hawai- and to the United States,
N The control has passed over from aliens tc
citizens to the fullest extent permitted by thu
Trading With the Enemy Act, with every, pros
pect that the end of the war will see the greater
part OF, If not ALL the German-hed stock sold tc
Americans. The next step will be the American
ling of1the personnel Of the employees Of the firm
and of all the subsidiary concerns under the firm
That this will be done is certain, knowing the mel
who make up the directorate That sentiment will
be allowed no place in the wedding out of thos

ever the individual hardship involved.

California fruit-growers want more labor, and
they don't mind if that labor is Chinese This is
the news that comes from the State which in days
past has been willing to bring the country to the
verge of war in order to make the exclusion of
Oriental labor from its farms and vineyards abb
solute At the annual meeting of the California
fruit-growers at Sacramento, resolution was
passed urging the Federal Government to permit
the introduction Of sufficient Chinese or other
farm labor" Naturally this was advocated only
as "a measure" and there was talk of the
with which the Chinese could be "deported"
after the emergency had passed. But all this does
not disguise the fact that California is ready to
abandon its old position of furious opposition to
the immigration of Chinese laborers-and pre-
sumably of Japanese also-when even tempo
