PRESIDENT READY
FOR FIRST PARLEY

PARIS, Jan. 9.-The program for
the formal conferences OF the associat-
ed powers is changing almost hourly.
Official announcement by the French
government that a preliminary meet
ing would be held in the foreign Of
fees this afternoon was premature, as
another statement was issued today
explaining that the meeting will be
postponed until Premier Lloyd-George
arrives Saturday or Sunday.
Thus the program has reverted 70
the original plan. Some surprise was
expressed that the American delegates
received the first word OF the meeting,
which was to be held today, through
yesterday afternoons newspapers.
The flood of the Seine may necessi-
tate a change in meeting place for
the associated conferences. 1t has
been raining daily since December /,

BRAZIL WISHES
 ID bROEDEN ITS
 INDUSTRY FIELD

Rio De Janeiro. Oct. (By the As sociated Press. "A plan for develop ing BraziIs agricultural, pastoral and mineral resources has been proposed to the Chamber of Deputies by Dr. Cincinato Brago, deputy from the State of Sac Paulo. Pointing out BraziIs need for an iron and eel in dustry, he said that the state of Min as Geraes alone contains more than 2,5G0,000,0O0 tons of mineral which contains from 50 to 70 per cent. pure ore.
 The deputy proposes that Brazil at iron and steel industry, thereby af- fecing an economy of at least 30 per cent. and in addition greatly augmenting the resources of the country. To establish this industry, it is estimated, it will be necessary for the federal government to expend the equivalent of $43.750,OO0 in a period of seven years, ct the rate of S6.250,000 annually.
 The plants, it is proposed are to be operated by electricity generated by Water-pOwer, and the initial ap- propriation suggested in the present Brazilian budget is intended for use in surveys and initial installation of uEdrO-eIectr1c plants.
 The deputy recommended the es- tabnshment in each state of the union four schools of practical in strucuon and training, under for elgn teachers, in mechanical and eI- ectrical engineering, industrial chem istry, agriculture and veterinary sci- ence.
 Liberal appropriations are recom- mended to assist cattle breeders in purchasing suitable foreign breed stock.

CATHERIN II OF RUSSIA

Catherine did not pussyfoot. She will live forever in the immortal wit of Byron's Don Juan. This naughty Empress of Russia, daughter of a field marshal of Prussia, was born in 1729. She married the heir to the Russian throne in 1745. Her hus- band attempted to divorce her (there are hints that she was cutting up). but Catherine was master. The gen. jus of her charms and faciIe man. agement of men had gained the cler- BY and the army on her side. She organized a conspiracy against her husband; had him seized.-probably murdered-behold, she was Impress Regnant. As a ruler she was a DOW er her reign second to that of Peter the Great.

BISHOP REFUSES HIGH WAGES AND

London, Oct. 16 (By the Associat- ed Press. )-Canon Peter Green, rec tor of St. Philips, Sailor, has refused the bishopric of Lincoln because he is opposed to bishops living in big houses (palaces they are styled) and receiving big salaries.

 "No one recognizes more fully than I do that many of the bishops are poorer as such than they were before they accepted the office, but that does not alter the fact that the bish- ops palaces, motor-cars, and bishops incomes are a real stumbling block to the workingman in accepting Christianity"

More Typhoid Cases
Reported From Hama
DR.. Pratt Arrives To Take Charge Of
SituatiOn-Fear That Ditch Sys-
tenn May Become Infected In Cent
raj Maui

DR.. j. II. B. Pratt, former president
of the board of health, now a member
of the U. S. public health service, at
Honolulu, and who is recognized as
one of the foremost sanitarians in
the Territory, arrived on Maui on
Wednesday night and proceeded over
land on Thursday for the Hama dis
trict to take charge of the work of
controlling the typhoid fever epidem-
ic at Kipahulu.
DR.. Pratt was sent to Maui follow
ing reports made by DR.. Wayson, of
the health department, who visited
Kipahulu last week, that the sanitary
conditions over there are pretty
rotten" Action was also helped
aloAg by representations made By
Theo. H. Davies & Co., and by other
plantation interests in Honolulu act
ing on reports of their manager on
Maui.
The danger that the typhoid fever
germs may be carried to central Maui
by persons coming from the infected
district, or that the big main bitches
which head in the Hama districts may
become contaminated, and thus bring
the disease to other parts of the is
land, has been the Inspiration which
has resulted in various urgent pro-
tests being made to Honolulu and
which seems finally to have stirred
the board of health to action.
DR.. George Broadrup, government
physician at Hama, states that in all
there have been about 80 cases of the
disease, covering a period of several
months. Two cases were reported
only last Friday. Up tC this week he
had been working alone in the dis
trict as far as medical assistance
went.
DR.. Wayson is reported to have re-
commended that a district nurse be
appointed to keep in touch with
things in Kipahulu and to educate the
people in protecting themselves and
helping to stamp the disease out. Up
to the present the Board has not act
ed upon this suggestion 1t is under
stood that the Honolulu Office is try
ing to persuade the county authorities
to supply the nurse.

.Sampan Captain Is
Crushed Under Boat
Fatal Accident On KahOolawe When
Wave Threws Boat Upon Beach
Was Well Liked Native Sailor Of
Eben Lows Fleet

Caught beneath the gunwale of
small row-boat when a big wave over
turned it and tossed it upon the beach
of Kahoolawe, about o'clock last
Saturday evening, Keanini Kimokeo,'
captain of the sampan Heeia Maru,
was so badly crushed that he died of
his injuries about o'clock the fol-
lowing Monday morning.
Kimokeo, though but 26 years Of
age, was one of the most valued en-
ployes of the Oahu Shipping Co., of
which Eben Low is superintendent.
He had brought his vessel with
load of supplies for Low and Angus
McPhee from Honolulu, and at the
time of the accident had just rowed
ashore in the tender to land the Jap
anese engineer. He was turning the
boat to put back to the sampan, after
landing his passenger, when the
wave caught the boat broad-side,
tossing it upon the beach upside
down, with the boatman under it.
The sea was not rough at the time.
The engineer who witnessed the
accident, raised the boat and the in
jured man was able to crawl out He
was taken in charge by Mr.. and Mrs.
McPhee who happened to be there at
the time, though he did not appear to
be very badly hurt. He refused to
be taken over to Maui where he could
have medical assistance. On Sunday
his condition seemed better, but he
became rapidly worse that night and
died the following morning.
Word was sent to Sheriff Crowell,
who made the trip to Kahoolawe with
Dr.. Osmers, the latter performing an
autopsy which showed that the man
had suffered a ruptured liver besides
other internal injuries, which even
with immediate surgical attention
would have probably proved fatal.
The unfortunate man lived in Ho-
nelulu. He was unmarried.

Baby Wandering In Cane
Field Restored To Home

The 6-year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Lorenz, of Puunene Camp 7, got
tired of the activities of the Alex
ander House Kindergarten, last Mond-
day morning, and accordingly started
out on his own hook to go home. He
was later found in a cane field about
2 miles from Wailuku in direction of
Waikapu, by Luna Manuel Jardine.
The youngster could not give his
name or where he lived, and he was
accordingly turned over to the police,
who several hours later managed to
find out who the child was and to
restore him to his home.
The little fellows escape from fall
ing in ditch or becoming hopeless
ly lost in growing cane, is considered
matter of pure luck. The boy had
been left at the kindergarten by his
older brother and sisters while they
went on to school.

Didn't Call For Bids So
Had To Buy Property

School Superintendent Kinney has
approved plan of the county to pur-
chase the land on which the Camp l
school cottage stands, together with
the cottage itself, from the H. c. &
S. Co., and the matter will probably
be put through in a few days.
This is the way the legal difficulty
of paying the sugar company for
building a $4,000 cottage has been
overcome.
When the cottage was destroyed
by fire about year ago, ID. c. Lind
say, school commissioner for Maui,
and Chairman Kalama, of the board
of supervisors saw the necessity OF
getting a new cottage built as soon
as possible, and therefore, made ar
rangements with the H. G.. & S. Co.,
to rebuild the cottage as quickly as
possible, the agreement being that
the job should be done at cost.
When it came to paying for the
work, however it was discovered that
the law prohibits the doing of work
amounting to over $1,000 without call
ing for tenders, and complying with
other conditions as regards citizen
labor, etc. Then it was discovered
that the county had never acquired
title to the land on which the cot
tage stood, so the plan of buying the
land, cottage and all suggested itself.
AS there is no law to prevent such a
transaction, this, as at first stated, is
NE way the matter will be settled,
incidentally the county fathers claim
to have saved about $1,000 over the
cost of the first cottage,
