Public Property
Grand Jury Charge
Hilo Board JuggIed Funds In Vio-
Iation Of Law Is Finding Of
InquiSitorS prominent Bust
ness Men Involved

The charges preferred by the grand
jury at Hilo against all the members
of the Hawaii board Of supervisors
and several prominent IIilo business
men, as published in The Advertiser
yesterday, include allegations that the
supervisors sold public property to non
official residents of the city last year,
such as autos and trucks, to be re-
purchased out of this year approprlu-

win, who has been furnished with in
formation of the indictments, says that
toward the end of 1917 the board of
supervisors found it was exceeding it's
estimates and had NerapprOpriatcd the
years funds, and then made arrange
ments with private individuals and
corporations to receive cash from them
III exchange for various public utilities,
such as autos, trucks, stone crushCrs
and machinery for road building.
A part of the agreement under which
this cash was received was that the
new owners should hold the property
until 1918 when it would be bought
back by the county out of 1918 funds.
This deal, 1t ls reported by Mr.. lr
win, was contrary to law, in that the
supervisors are not permitted to agree
to pay out Of funds for 1918, for debts
contracted during the preceding year.
The attorney generals department
specifically states that there is no poll
ticAl end to the investigation.
That the suprrN IsOrs were warned in
| making this agreement they were do
ing so illegally, is evident from the
fact that SuprrN lsor A. NJ. Cabriuhu
some time ago informed his fellow
members that they were proceeding
| contrary to law.
An injunction suit was brought u
| few months ago by W. }. West, man
| ager of the Hlo branch Of the Won
Hamm Young company, against the
Schuman Carriage Co. branch, and :
NJ. Spencer, the Hawaii auditor, it
which it was alleged that ON January
10 the supervisors had unlawtully an'
wilfully' attempted to apPrOprIat,
| $2l ,576.SO out of II so called "machin
cry fund" for the purchase of three
| auto trucks and one touring car from
Schuman Carriage Co., and further tina
| A. Akina, II supervisor, was then an'
is now an employee Of the Schumar
Company. The complaint alleged thu
cOnspirucy' existed between tn,
supervisors and the Schuman company
to "dcfraud the county," The SUPER
visors are accused of having awarded
| the contract without calling for bids
The injunction suit was dismissed il
the Hilo circuit court. The supreme
court recently reversed the decision amc
remandcd the case.

MAUI WILL RAISE
PLENTY OF BEANS
Next Seasons Crop Will Be Be-

Bags, Reports Lighttoot

Farmers in the Kula district, Maui
will produce between 10000 and 10000
bags of beans next season, according
to report made to the market com
mission at its meeting yesterday by
Manager o. B. Lightfoot. This supply
is more than sufficient for local con
sumption and will result in a new ex-
port being added to the list Of agri-
cultural products of Hawaii.
Mr.. Lightfoot made an extended visit
to the farming district Of Maui with
the view of instructing the farmers of
that community in the proper ship
ping and grading Of their products for
the market. Owing to the slip
shod methodS followed in the past
by farmers of the Kula district, beans,
particularly, did not bring the market
price that they should here. They
were not properly graded and did not
compare in quality with the imported
bean.
The remainder of the bean crop for
this year will amount to between $500
and 1900 bags Jack Walsh of Ka.
hului is handling this output for the
Kula farmers and is willing to market
their products through the territorial
market if the commission will reduce
their selling commission from five per

Denies Politics Is
Back of HilO
Grand Jury Action
Assistant Attorney General Irwin
Intimates Somebody Is Draw
ing a Herring Across the Trail
To 0bStruCt Prosecutions

Assertion that politics Is back of the
grand jury investigation in Hilo which
resulted in the the indictment of all
the members of the Hawaii board of
supervisors and the managers of sew
eral of the big Crescent City business
establishments, is farfetched con
clusiOn if based on the published state
ment that this is shown because the
date for the arrangement or the de
fonda ts has been set for a day or two
after the October primaries.
Such in effect is the way Assistant
Attorney General Harry Irwin an
swers in part the charge that politics
has led to the investigation and the
findings Of the Hilo grand jury. He
points out first that supervisors, the
only political officials under indict-
ment, will not be before the voters
for nomination or election in the fall
elections, because the county officers
are elected in the spring elections in
odd years.
Personally, he says, he believes the
attorney generals Office would not
have given any assistance to the HilO
grand jury investigation if there had
been any Indication that politics was
the motive back of the request re
reived for aid in making the probe Of
the Hawaii country affair.
The request for this aid to the at
tOrney general Office came from Judge
Clement X Quinn Of the Hilo circuit
court and the special investigation
committee appointed by the grand jury
Specifically Attorney Irwin says;
81 do not believe that politics had
or has anything to do with the grand
jury investigation and its findings. "
He adds that the only place where q
charge to this effect has been brought
to his attention was through the press,
Generalizing, and only indirectly re

ferring to the HiIo indictments, the
assistant attorney general says:
$ the customary thing to draw
a rcd herring across the trail after
such Investigations by crying poll
ties. If kept up long enough the cry
would make prosecutions in all such
cases almost impossible of success, for
in time people get to believe it is
true
Assistant Attorney General Irwin
left it plainly to inference he believed
that something of this kind was the
hope Of certain HilO interests in start
ing the defensive charge of "poli
ties, as an explanation for the in
dictments returned by the grand jury.
The indictments of the Hawaii su
perVisors is based on the allegation
that they exceeded available county
appropriations in buying supplies Of
the Hilo business men who have been
implicated.

Sugar After the War

NEW YORK TIMES - The Brussels Sugar
~ Convention survived the war; and nations
which Staying each others subjects ObserV-
ed its rules. But England gives notice that she
resumes complete liberty of action for the future
1t had been known that England intended to do
this and also that she intended to follow France
III denouncing all commercial treaties with favor
cd nation clauses but now step further is taken,
disclosing The tendency in England toward trade
policy after the war. The resumption OF Eng
lands complete liberty of action means that she
will give preference to British sugar in British
markets. Much West Indian sugar will be di-
verted from this market, and there is no prospect
that any beet sugar can come here from the Brus-
sells sgnatorcs Germany has been compelled
to raise cereals on her beet acreage, and in Bel
GUM. Franc, Austria, and Russia nue.. of the
beet land has been fought over SO destruCtively
that the world supply will be short long after
peace
1t is not to be supposed that the Brussels sigma
tories can act together after Englands withdraw
al The object OF the convention to enable
the other countries to "dump' their excess pro
duction in British free trade markets, Canada
promptly enacted an anti-dumplng law and we
decided that a bounty exports detrimental
to our interests. Now England determines tc
abandon the supply Of too cheap sugar which she
had accepted in the interest of her jam trade, anC
embarks on policy of imperial preference.
Here is the seed at once Of the destruction o.
unfair international competition and the start to-
ward something like British protective policy
More trades than the sugar trade will be made
over after the war and the beginnings OF the proc
ess are worth attention even amid the rush o
affairs Of greater present Importance.

ARCADE THEATRE TONIGHT.

The great William Fox photoplay,
'Du Barry" in which Theda Bara
does her most brilliant work, will ap-
pear at the Arcade Theatre tonight.
This play is the most wonderful ere.
alton of its kind that has ever been
presented on the films. All that Miss
Bara has done only gives a suggestion
Of the charm and elaboratness Of this
great production.
The story is a historic one, which
many have attempted to write, and it
has even been seen upon the stage,
but it remained for the films and
Miss Bara to give to the world the
revelation of the character of this
wonderful woman. It is known that
the great actress spent long time in
studying the times Of Louis XIV and
the woman who pervaded them, be-
fore she attempted the creation of
this photoplay. There is TO doubt
that she has succeeded in marvel
Gus manner in grasping the subject,
and in putting it upon the screen.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of tee play is the dresses that
Miss Bara wears, which were special
~ designed by her, after long consul
tations with experts on the period of
Louis XIV. These dresses are pecu-
liar, however, in one way. They
might easily appear in the drawing
rooms Of today. Every one of them
IS study Of the art of womanly
sGornment, and is a thing of beauty
in itself
Miss Bara has discovered and re-
vealed thousand little details of
The womanly toilette which will be
interesting to every wo-
nan. These secrets are revealed

Prices Of Newspapers, Ad-

Has Not Kept Pace
With Other Staples
A Comparison Of Costs AS Elk
listing Today With Those
OF 20 Years Ago Reveals
Surprising Facts

Any publisher of country weekly
newspaper who is still hesitatlng about
advancing his subscription rate to s.
vear-or more, if a higher rate is neces-
sary TO make both ends meet-will DO
well to spend little time looking back
over the files of years gone by, paying
attention especially to the market re-
ports contained therein, and comparing
these with the reports that appear in the
papers of today.
The publisher of the Glendale N. D.
Leader did this not long ago. He turned
back to the files of 20 years ago. The
subscription price of the Leader at that
time was $50 a year and it was still
$3.50 year when the publisher began
digging into the files Now the price
is s. year and the publisher tells why
in the following editorial displayed in
large type in a recent issue of the
Leader:
''Do YOU know what the price of wheat
was 20 years ago. We didn't, either,
until we made some inquiries. But we
found that the quotation in 1898 was GO
cents. Eggs at that time sold around 10
cents a dozen. Butter could be had for
a song, and it didn t have to be much of
a song. either. And at that time the sub
price Of the Leader was $50.
"Everybodv knows what wheat, butter
and eggs are worth today. Fifteen cents
worth Of meat is practically invisible, al
though one used to be able to live sever
al days on a dime s worth of meat. Still
the Leader is $50 per year. That S one
reason why we are forced to advance the
price.
"Along with the increase in foodstuffs +
comes a corresponding advance in print +
ng equipment, paper, labor and every
,ther item which enters into newspaper I
construction. That is another reason
why we must advance the subscription
rice of the Leader.
"The new postal rate on newspaper
Increases the mailing cost of the paper
ver 80 per cent. That is another reason
Why we must have 50 year for the
leader after October /.
"The Leader is better paper than it
vas 20 years ago. At that time we car
led not to exceed nine columns of local
Jews. Now our average is 90 columns.
hat is another reason why we must in
rease the price.
$50, on October l, 1918, the subscrip-
ion price of the Leader will be 50 per
ear. The subscription-in-a advance plan
as been in operation for year and is
ighly successful. The subscriber who
eally wants the paper is willing to pay
or it in advance. And we don care to
ave the other kind on our list. Payment
, advance eliminates chances for error,
and argument, and it
ill be continued. Publisher Auxil-
