College OF Hawaii
Starts On New Year

The College of Hawaii is entering
upon a year of large expansion and
prospects for a most successful SEES
sion are seen by all connected with
the institution. Over one hundred
students are registered as candidates
ing in with earnestness and fine pur-
pose.
Many are entering the Liberal Arts
course begun this year and leading to
the degree of Bachelor of Arts to be
} granted by the University of Hawaii.
The pre-medical course has attracted
a considerable number also. A large
part of the student enrolment is in
the established lines of engineering,
agriculture and sugar technology.
Several changes in the faculty are
of Importance New members have
beer added this year, some of them
representing additions and others sub
situations. The chemistry department
has been strengthened by the coming
of Professor Richard Wrenshall from
Yale University. In Agriculture John
Midkiff is a valuable addition to the
staff.
The engineering department is glad
to have Professor Keller back from
the army service. Professor Furer is
still retained, affording three promin-
ent engineers on the College faculty.
The biological science department
shows much change with Professors
MacCaughey (botany) and Bryan
Zoology gone and new men to fill
their places. DR.. Herbert Bergman
comes to take charge of he botany
work, while Professor Bryan's sue
cessor has not yet been named.
The department of romance langu-
ages is now up to par, with Professor
Pecker ably teaching Spanish and
French.
Military instruction this year is
being given to all freshmen and sop
homore men by Captain Williford, G..
A. c. A coast artillery unit is being
formed among the College students,
the training to be partly on the
campus and partly at local coast De-
Tense batteries.
The students are much gratified at
the bright prospects for good athletic
teams. An abundance of football ma
terial is seen among the men and 9TH
er sports and games will be equally
well manned.
Among the students entering the
College of Hawaii this fall are the
following from Maui:
Clarence Rowley Baldwin, Wailuku
(Sugar Technology May X. Gay, La
haina, Especially; Scott Fleming Nj
coll, Hamakuapoko, Civil Engineer
ing); David Selden Summers, Paia
Civil Engineering).
In the Sophomore class is: Douglas
Harold Wells, Haiku (Sugar Techno-
lOgy).

SENIORITY RULE
BY REPUBLICANS
IN LOWER HOUSE
,ey .osa,uo ,ousn.l ssre,A, LEASED w,ss,


Washington. March 5.-Republican
organization of the next house of rep
rcsentatives was pushed forward to-
day by party leaders, composing the
committee on comm tees with praC-
ticalIy final decision that seniority
of membership would continue to de-
termine committee rank. This ac-
ton, taken in respect to the eleven
nrincipal committees. applies to
Championships as well as the other
leading places in the roster of the re-
publican committee membership.
Before undertaking to consider the
question of membership rank, the re-
publicans decided on the apportion-
ment of places on the committees be-
tween the two parties. Because of
their margin of control of the next
house, the committee decided to in
crease the majority appointment by
one member with similar reduction
of democratic or minority member
ship.
The principal committee, having
twenty-one members, would be divid-
ed between thirteen republicans and
eight democrats, while practically the
same ratio would obtain with the
committee of smaller membership. \
decision to make possible use of the
committee on departmental eXpendi-
lures for proposed investigation of
war expenditures and other inquiries
of department activities led to the
membership apportiOnment of these
committees being agreed on five re-
publicans and two democrats, in
stead of the to ratio that obtained
in the last house.

MINERS AND SENATOR
FULLY CAN'T AGREE
ON MINE TAX MEASURE
Esv MORNING. JousnAl SPECIAL Leased w,ssl

Santa Fe, March 4.-Representa-
tives of the mining interests in New
Mexico, and friends of the Tully mine
tax bill, failed to agree at a confer
ence held here in the supreme courl
room this morning. The mining men
refused to pass resolution endorsing
the bill, and adopted one opposing
any change in the state mine tax laws
The Tully bill seeks to revisl the
mine tax laws, and is patterned after
tho Arizona law Mining men admitted
that they paid under the present Law
about one-siXth of what they would
pay under the new measure, but
claim that they are paving now al
they can stand under the local and
present conditions.
The proposal of Governor LARA
dolo to permit a tax commission OF
three experts TO adiudicate all mat.
ters was also opposed. The meeting
was opened by the governor Attorney
w A. Hawkins, J. NJ. Sully of the
Cnino Copper company and Maj w
II. IL Llewellyn spoke for the mining
men and Senator Tully spoke in ia
vor of the bill.

FOUR PLANES ON

Carlsbad, n. NJ. March 5.-Thc
Gulf to Pacific" squadron of De
Haviland army planes engined with
Liberty twelves, left yesterday morn
ing for Sweetwater and Waco on their
return to Ellington Field The squad
ron is the first Liberty squadron to
cross the back bone of the continent,
and are moving over virtually I'M
chartered aerial routes.
The squadron, which is under the
command of Lieut.. Il. q, Searle left
Ellington Field in January and made
the trip to San Diego in leisurely
hops. charting the air routes, photo
graphing landing stages, taking elab-
roate data on weather conditions and
otherw!sn securing information which
is to be forwarded to washington FOR
use. should the general public de-
mand the installation of air routes.
On its return via FL Paso, the plane
piloted by Lieut. Jones blew out tire,
and was delayed in reaching Carls-
bad until Monday noon. The other
machines arrived at the landing sta
ton east OF town Saturday evening.
The first planes were manned by
Lieut., II. Rirkett, Lieut.. T.. Fl. Nelson,
Lieut.. c. V. Rugh and Sergt. w, II.
Cain
The planes are the big day bomb
ers, used in school at Ellington Field,
which was an advanced training sta
ton. Some few of these machines
reached the line before the armistice
was signed, and at height of six
teen thousand feet, were the fastest
ships in the air, being able to out
maneuvers the little one-seated
scouts, which, because of their dmin-
ntive wing spread, were not at their
best in the larefied air. The planes
carried four machine guns, two Mar.
lin, new type, firing through the pro-
peller, and two Lewis, arranged in a
scarf mounting around the observers
seat The observer stood to fire
these guns, and had wide angle of
fire, the machines having practically
no blind spot.
These De Haviland fours have a
registered speed 1875 miles per hour,
but have been known TO exceed thar
speed with a wide open throttle. The
trip to Carlsbad from FL Paso was
made in seventy minutes, being an
air distance of one hundred and thirty
seven miles. The ships passed over
the Guadalupe mountains and thus
topped the highest point in Texas.
Lieut.. Searle is we'll known in
Carlsbad, having visited the oil and
potash fields previously in company
with biologists. He has been in FL
lington Field since its opening as q
school of advanced training.
