BIRMINGHAM CITY,
 ARRIVES IN JAPAN
Captain Murphy Cables on Reaching Destination.
 Voyage Took 46 Days
Captain Murphy of the "Bir- mingham City" has cabled his safe arrival in Japan.

OdlO ol IlN bl III PdH.
 His message was as follows:
 "Yokohoma, August 5, 5:15 a. m.
 Age Herald, Birmingham, Ala.
 Arrived.
 Murphy"
 It means that the steamship Birming ham City. built of Birmingham steel and carrying 6,oo0 tons of Birmingham steel to Japan, has arrived and docked at Yokohama.
 The Birmingham City is the second product of the Chickasaw Shipbuild-
 ing and Car Company's Mobile yards, the first one being the Chickasaw City. whose maiden voyage was to Rotter- dam with 6,000 tons of Birmingham steel. The third product of these yards. the Ensley City, is now on her way to Rotterdam with over 5000 tons of Bir- mingham steel and 1,250.o00 feet of Alabama pine lumber. The Birmingham City left the port of Mobile on June 21. The voyage to Japan has taken forty-six days or six weeks and four days. The distance to Japan is just half way around the world, as far away from home as it Is possible for the Birmingham City to | travel.
 Shortly before the Birmingham City left for Japan her commander, Capt John Murphy, visited Birmingham and was entertained here. It was his first visit to an inland city. and he was much impressed with Birmingham After leaving Mobile he sent several wireless messages reporting the posi- l tion of his ship al sea. l All Birmingham is glad to learn that the voyage has been successful one and that Captain Murphy has safely docked his ship at destination. l The Mobile City, the fourth producs of the Chickasaw yards, is to make the same voyage with the same kind of cargo when she leaves shortly on her maiden voyage All four of these ships | are of $500 tons deadweight.

Birmineham,. sugar supply i.

Birmingham,s sugar supply s plentiful
 Wholesale Erocers and sugar biokers have little fear of n short nEc of that staple here now.
 "We can get more sugar than we necd,- safd a broker. "In fact we find 1t difficult to sell all that comes to our hands. The market Is good, and the demand Is steady"
 Wholesalers are not taking ad- vantage of the plentiful supply to stock up. Sugar supplies are small and are kept moving. It is gcner- ally believed that with the present supply, coupled with the demand will probably cause n drop m prices shortly. Dealers are keep ing from accommodating large stocks for this reason. They fear drop in prices will result in n loss for them.

FRISCO WARRIOR CASE WILL GO
 TO PUBLIC SER VICE COMMISSION
Chamber of Commerce and Port Corporation Want Precedent Eliminated Im- mediately

"I am going to lay the case before the Alabama Public Ser vice Commission" said Henry T. DeBardeleben, manager of the Warrior transportation sys- tenn, speaking of the mooted point of interchange of traffic with the Frisco railroad at the port of Cordova.
 T shall ask the commission to designate the point of interchange and shall ask that this point be the same as it has been during the past five years at the river side.
 Since October, 1915, the Frisco has been exchanging freight with the river transportation service at the tipple on the river. I cannot see the justice or the reason of making change mere ly because the government has ac- quired tracks and property formerly belonging to private corporation.
 While I am going before the state commission, Theo. Brent manager of the entire Mississippi Warrior trans portation system, will prepare for talk ing the matter up with the interstate commerce commission. If that be nee essary. However, MT. Brent will take no action until he receives a cNpy of the contract which President Kuhn of the Frisco in his telegram to the Bir- mingham Chamber of Commerce. says he has drawn up and will submit to MT. Brent for approval.

STOCKHOLDERS UNITED

Stockholders of the Port of Birming- ham. who include practically every business interest in the district from largest to smallest, are unit in their determination to see that the Port Of Cordova gets fair play and that ne precedent inimical to the Port of Bir- mingham shall be established at Cor. dova.
 The whole point appears to hinge or whether the status at Cordova has change by reason of the government having taken over what was formerly operated by a private corporation. The Warrior river interests do not think the government has any less rights than those whom it has succeeded in operation of the service at Cordova.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-08-06
. THAT CONTRACT

Until that contract is gone over in
 detail. we will not know precisely what the Frisco is driving at. We do however, know that it wishes to with draw from the Warrior river transpor
 tation system a service and a con
 venience which it has provided the past
 five years, ever since river transpor
 tation began at that point.
 1The withdrawal of she service means an extra expense in doing river business through Cordova and that much off the twenty per cent freight diffcrentiaI. We cannot sec that the government Is entitled to less than private corporations for the same service"
 | o. l.. Bum, general manager of th' | Birmingham Traffic Bureau. has prom | ised MT. DeBardeleben to go with hin 1 to Montgomery and help present th' case. MT. Bum feels confident that th' l Alabama Public Service Commission
 will not allow the Frisco to declar'
 the station at Cordova as the designate
 point of freight interchange.
 The telegram from President Kuhn does not coincide with what was understood to be the original | position of the Frisco so much objected to by Warrior river i'm 1 terests. In his telegram MT. Kuhn l says the point of interchange 1 "sh0uld be on the same basis as l any other common carrier; that is, | our responsibility ends when we | have delivered business on desig- l mated interchange trnck.1 This nd 1 mits the obligation of the Frisco l to deliver freight consigned to the port of Cordova on port tracks It | further admits the right of author l ity to "designnte" the proposed fn- 1 terchnnge point.
 1 The Frisco president also valves an, l intention to rush his point, specifical l ly stating that 1t Is not our purpos 1 10 discontinue service pending the con l clusion of final arrangements" 1 MT. Bum is of the opinion that 1 even though the wire from Presiden l Kuhn does not sound as formidable a prior understanding of the position 0
 the Frisco, it is best to go to the Ala oama Public Service Commission an
 have the point of Interchange of traf ! fife definitely designated. He feels cer 1 tain that the commission will not al
 low the Frisco to make the Cordoy ] station this designated point.

Bunch OF Fines From
Auto SmaSh-Up At Paia

Crowded from the road, as he claims
by big car driven at about so miles
per hour by Hasume Ikeda, Eddie
Silva, a garage boy for Chung Kee,
crashed into an ironwood tree just
west of lower Paia, on New Years day
and reduced the Buick automobile he
was dr. ing to scattered pile of
junk. Two Filipino passengers were
painfully hurt and were taken to the
Paia hospital. Their injuries are said
not be serious. Silva was not badly
hurt
When the matter was investigated
it was found that Ikeda was driving
a rent service car owned by X. Shima-
buka, and that he had no license for
rent service driving. He was hailed
before District Magistrate M. S. Pa
checo, of Makawao, who fined him $25
for driving without the needed permit,
and $50 for needless and reckless driv-
ing. Then Shimabuka was called up
and fined $25 and costs for employing
an unlicensed driver.

county road az Haiku, and to extend
the Corner of it's warehouse building
entirely across the road in form of

ors this afternoon. The matter has
|Deen before the board a number of
Itfmes. A. F. Tavares, manager of the

afternoon.
At the meeting of the board last
month the matter was referred to the
county engineer and county attorney
who investigated and reported to the
board this week that the officials IN
charge at the cannery claim to have
been granted permission for the use
of the road by Chairman Kalama and
Supervisor Fleming. Both members
deny having exercised any such au-
thority
Inasmuch as the building over the
road is now completed, the board will
probably formally grant the permis-
sion to build it at this afternoons
meeting.

Bright New Year Outlook

Maunaolu Seminary re-opened on
Friday, January 2nd, with the largest
enrolment for some years-94.
While following the territorial
course of study, the girls get many
things not found in books. They are
trained in all kinds of house work
They have four hours of sewing each
week. Special attention is given to
mending and darning. The supervised
playground work is not only develop
ing better bodies but is giving some
excellent drill in team work and fair
play.
The children had most delightful
Christmas. Assisted by the generosity
and thoughtfulness of various school
friends, Santa Claus was enabled to
visit the school December 20, and fill
all the girls stockings. Christmas
morning those who spent their vaca-
ton in the school had a fine tree.
\ pleasant and profitable part of
their Christmas treat was course of
nine lessons in manual training given
by Mr.. Summers, vocational director
in the public schools. Under his SUI
pervision the girls made their frames
and rebound over sixty dilapidated
library books. They learned the
names and uses of various tools and
had training in handling them.
The cut-out animals and doll furni-
ture gave joy both in the making and
in the finished product. The last les
sons We're in portfolio making and in
weaving. 1t was interesting to note
day by day the increased skill and the
growing interest the class took in their
work.

Merry Christmas, Maunaolu Seminary
wishes to say THANK you" 1t has
encouraged her to do better work in

Blue BlOOded Dairy
Cows Come To Maui
Sanitarium And Sugar Companies Get
Fine Animals For Building Up The
Milk Production Of Island Come
From Champion Stock

Twenty head of dairy cows and
heifers of royal pedigree, arrived on
tuesday morning from the coast by
the Lurline for Maui herds. That is,
20 is the number listed on the ships
manifests, but as a matter of fact 81
animals in all were landed, for one of
the COWS gave birth to a fine bull calf
on the way down.
The cattle are all from British Col
umbia, and with the exception of 2
Jersey heifers for the Hawaiian Com
mercial e Sugar Co.'S dairy, are all
registered Holsteins. The Kula SAM
tarium gets 10 of the number, the H.
G. & S. Co, 6, and the Wailuku Sugar
Co., gets two.
All of the cattle were selected by
Prof. Mclean, of the University of
British Columbia, who was the cattle
judge at the last territorial SIR. They
came down in charge .pf Josh York and
his son william Y0S, both prosperous
cattle breede. o British Columbia.
Nine of the >ifers are grand
daughters of ne champion Holstein
COW Lady Pietje, Canary Jewel, which
Mr.. York states is still the champion
mixer in Canada. This famous cow
gave 1852 pounds of milk in her sec
ond year, and 24,35S pounds in her
third year, or total of 41,920 pounds
for the two periods. During the sec
ond period her butter fat production
was 1897 pounds.
The two Wailuku Sugar heifers are
from an equally famous line of cattle
in Washington state.
The trip down was smooth and the
animals all came through in good
shape, but one, after landing, slipped
on the wet paving just outside the
wharf and broke leg. 1t is believed
that she can be saved.

To Take New Motor
Fuel To Philippines
Harry Gesner Buys Rights To Foster
Alcohol Process And Leaves Soon
For Far EaSt-ShOuld Be Boon
Where Gasoline Is Scarce

Harry Gesner, the Wailuku Ford
agency man, will leave probably next
week, for the Philippines on a several
months business trip. But it is not to
sell flivers that he goes.
Gesner has recently bought the
patent rights for the Philippine Is
lands on the new Maui process of
making motor alcohol from molasses.
This process was invented and perfect
ed by ]. p. Foster, superintendent of
the Maui Agricultural Co.'s Paia mill,
and the product has been in constant
successful use by all the automobiles
and trucks owned by the big company
and its employees for a year or more
1t has proved so much of a success
that the NJ. A. Co. recently greatly en-
larged its distilling plant and now has
which it is able to sell at a profit at
present gasoline prices, or between
20 and 80 cents per gallon.
1t is understood that Gesner has
pau 9lU,UUU lot Jne Inllpplne rlSnlS,
but at that he believes that he has
young gold mine in his buy. 1t is re-
ported that gasoline costs in the
neighborhood of 81 per gallon in the
| Far East possessions, while there are
now some half dozen big sugar mills
which are turning out thousands of
tons of waste molasses annually for
which there is absolutely no market at
the present time owing to the distance
from markets that might make use a
portion of it. Gesner may organize
company in the Islands to take over
his process, or he may sell his rights
| outright. He states that a number of
persons are already interested in the
| matter and ready to invest money in
it. In view Of the apparent success
attained here on Maui the process
should prove all that its backer hopes,
or more, in the Philippines.
