PICTURES FORD
 A GENTLE SOUL;
 HE LOVED BIRDS

Mount Clemens. Mich, Aug g. Strong disclaimer that there was anything anarchistic in the utter ances of Henry Ford. who is suing the Chicago Daily Tribune for S1 CO., 900 damages on a charge of libel. was made today by Attorney Neil F. Reid. his counsel.
 Attorney Reid took three articles by Ford introduced by the Tribune and argued that they contained only the sentin, ents of a Christian gentle man with a horror of war.
 The lawyer pictured MT. Ford as a kindly man with love of birds and trees and his felIownen-one whose life am mbition was to leave the world a better and happier place to live in than he found it, yet one who. when his country was at war, devoted every energy, and every resource to answer his country's need.
 William T. Hosner for the Tribune, replied:
 'rIf Henry Ford had remained in the field where he made so conspicu- ous a success there would have been no lawsuit. As a manufac cturer he renders a great service to the coun- try. Along in 1916 he made a terrible mistake, when he concluded to leave the field which he ornamented for an arena where he did not belong, to pose as an educator

The Attorney-Ge now has a balance of nearly $10O,O0O under an appropriation which became availa b1e July 1, for collecting evidence against profiteers and it is expected that more will be appropriated by Con gress if funds run short.
 In a, letter which Attorney-Genera1 Palmer sent to all Federal attorneys these instructions were given:
 You are directed to immeditely employ all the facilities at your com mand and make use of all available sources of information to- seek out all dealers guilty of hoarding within the meaning of the act and to ascer- tain if in any other respect these pro- visions of the Food Control Act have been violated in your district Please proceed with promptness and dili- gence to make a thorough investiga- tion of conditions in your district with respe to possible violations of this law and of the antitrust laws, and when the evidence warrants see that arrest are made without further in- structions."
 Wilson to Broaden Message.
 President Wilson, going before Con- gress at P. M. tomorrow with his high cost of living message, plans to ask extension of food control legisla- ton to include other commodities, it was learned today.
 The Presidents message is practi- cally completed and is being revised before 1t is sent to the printers.
 MT. Wilson hopes. it was said, to have laws passed greatly extending the authority of the Federal Govern ment to cope with the whole living cost situation.
 The President wishes also, it was hinted, to have measures passed de- signed to reach the smallest indivt- dual proffteer. This, 1t is thought prob able, would reach the retailer who eXtorts an excessive profit
 Carrying out this program, 1t was said, would require enactment of three or four additional laws by Congress.

Mr.. T. Brandt
May Reconsider

With fine sense or honor and a
dread of that kind of notoriety which
was gained by one of the Hilo super
visors, Mr.. Brandt of Waimea has
resigned from the board of super
visors because he is vitally interest
ed in Hofgaard & Company and the
Waimea Stables.
This has awakened local public
opinion to the hardships of the law
that will eliminate from public service
a great many of the best men that are
available; and this realization, coming
concurrently with a similar awaken
ing elsewhere, has precipitated the
passage of a bill modifying the law
in such a way that men of Mr.,
Brandts qualifications and integrity
may be retained.
This bill is now up for its third
reading and will undoubtedly pass, in
which case Mr.. Brandt may withdraw
his resignation and remain. as here
tofore, an invaluable member of the
Board.

contests at loading cane, with the re-
suit that the best plantation team of
cane leaders be sent to Honolulu to

Mr.. Sanborn announces that numer-
Gus and generous cash prizes will be
offered for all kinds of exhibits, and
with the many prizetaking possibilities
there should be considerable interest
stimulated for all classes of small ex-
hibitors.
Kauai was poorly represented at the
fair last year, but not due to any
fault Of Lihue Ranch, which contribut-
ed generously with exhibits for the
livestock section. This year it is
hoped that those who held back their
exhibits last year and let Lihue Ranch
make the only worthy showing for
Kauai will come out with a generous
exhibit that will place the island in
a better light.

Kitsap Defies
Destruction


derelict has not been satisfactorily
desposed of. She had drifted pretty
we'll round to Kapaa by the time that
the Kukui arrived from Honolulu to
tow her to the quiet waters of Ma
wiliwili. She was an exceedingly
heavy tow and it took IL or Is hours
to get her round to Carters Point
Here she was held by the Kukui
awaiting the arrival of the Monterey

Saturday morning the Monterey at.
tempted to blow off the anchor chains
and forward wreckage by means of a
$50 pound charge of dynamite, which
however, failed of it's object
By this time it was getting pretty
rough, so the Monterey gave instruct
ions to tow her round to quiet water
at Koloa, and when that port was
reached it was still too rough to work
to advantage, and it was found neces.
sary to 60 on to Waimea, the Monterey
conveying the fiotilla. Arrived there
she was exposed to a vigorous bonn
bardment of 600 FOUNDER, inch, gun
fire, with no other result than a few
holes in the exposed part of the hulk.
She was then towed inshore, to COM
paratively shallow water, and another
heavy charge of dynamite, 700 pounds,
war carefully placed and fired, A
great geyser of water went up into the
air, and they thought surely they had
disposed of her this time; but when
the smoke and spray cleared away,
there she was looking just as formid-
able as ever. However, a careful ex.
animation showed that the forward
section of her was rent in twain.
The plan was to get her so close in.

would drift ashore. But floating bot.

beneath she lodged in 20 fathoms, and

The tow had been so much longer
and heavier than expected that the

supplies, so she has gone back to
town to restock and get more dyna.

the work of breaking up the hulk
Thus far some eight or ten additional
charges have been fired without any
conclusive results.
The theory is more or less current
that the Wailele has been fast to the
kitsap, hanging to her in the depths
by means of her anchor chains, all
this time, or at least up to a recent
stage in the proceedings. Something
more than the resistance of the KitsaI
herself is necessary to account for the
tremendously heavy drag of the dere

think, was finally shaken loose off
Waimea, when the load suddenly ant

In the light of the facility with
which great steamers like the Luisi

they have to bang round at a little

Kapaa Wants
Water Man

The great success of the Kapaa
Homesteaders' Cane Harvesting AS
sociation has led the bulk of the HON
steaders at Kapaa to arrive at the
conclusion that cooperation is the
salvation of the homesteader. With
the idea of further cooperation in view
! leaders of the Kapaa homesteaders
colony of farmers called a gathering
at the Kapaa court house last Sunday
to further discuss cooperative schemes
for the betterment of conditions.
The meeting was fairly well attend
ed, and general discussion took place
the community. AS the irrigation
concerning the obstacles that confront
water situation at Kapaa is serious
one, this topic became the main issue
of the meeting, and measures for the
correction of the present irrigation
difficulties at Kapaa were set in mo-
ton.
The present irrigation supply of the
Kapaa homesteads is derived from
the Kapahi stream, the water being
the property of the government. AS
the situation stands at present, water
is not charged for by the government
and no one is denied the use of the
same. In the past Joe Bettencourt,
Sr. has been looking after the water
distribution for the homesteaders, TAX
ing the duty upon his shoulders with
out charge to the homesteader. Bet
tencourt has been performing the duty
to the best of his ability but because
of the presence of few who doubt
the authority of Bettencourt to dis
tribute water and others who want
more than their share of the water,
constant friction has existed among
some of the homesteaders.
With the object in view to correct
the present friction the homesteaderS
appointed Joe Bettencourt, Sr. to look
after the water for the present, pro
viding protection was furnished Bet
tencourt by the Sheriff's department
Steps were taken to start a coopera.

ers in order to be able to cope with
