Mutual To Take Over
Wireless March |
Wailuku Office OF Navy Radio Service
Closed YeSterday-0ld Company
Plans Phone System Between Is
lands

The U. S. Naval radio office in Wal
luku was closed and dismantled YES.
terday as preparatory step towards
the turning back of the inter-island
wireless service to the Mutual Tele-
phone Co. This transfer is to take
effect the first of the month-next
Monday. While it has been known
that negotiations were pending along
these lines in Washington the an
nouncemont was rather unexpected
and sudden.
1t is uderstood that by act of CON
gress the navy will be permitted to
continue its big radio plants and to
handle at a very low rate press mes
sages, and also commercial messages
but these last at a rate not less than
than charged by the commercial COM
panies.
Chief Operator George B. Dewing.
who for the past several months has
made his headquarters in Wailuku
LETT last night for Lahaina where he
will make arrangements for turning
the plant there over to the private
owners. He then expects to go to
Pearl Harbor, but does not know what
MS luLure assignments VIII be.
Wireless Phones Possible
1t is probable, according to state
ment made by T. A. Brown, local man.
ager of the Maui Telephone Co., now
a subsidiary of the Mutual company,
that in the future his company will
haidle the radio work of Maui as well
as the phone system. However he has
had no positive advices regarding this.
The talk is also revived that the
Mutual company plans to install with
in very short time to install wireless
telephony between the islands or to
lay telephone cables across the chan
nels. j. A. Balsh, president of the
company, stated more than a year ago
that this would be done as soon as
the navy surrendered the property. AT
that time he stated that either system
is feasible, and that it was merely
matter of choosing beween them.

MOreBOatS Promised
For Maui Service
Wilhelmina Due Here March 20 As
Regular Maui Ship -Lurline In
This Morning For Sugar And MOlas-
es-Sails Sunday Night

The Matson steamer Wilhelmina,
which has been tied up in San Fran
cisco for months or more on ac-
count of the big strike, has finally
completed her overhauling and will
sail for the Islands about March 10,
After reaching Honolulu she will come
to Kahului, as in the days before the
war, about March 20.
1t is understood that the ManOa and
the Lurline will also continue to make
monthly trips to Maui, and that there
is a possibility that still another pas
senger carrier will make Kahului a
regular port of call. In any event
Maui is certain to have better service
than ever before.
The Lurline, which arrived from Ho-
nolulu this morning, brought about a
dozen passengers from Honolulu, be-
sides 111S tons of miscellaneous
freight, including another fleet of
Ford autos and trucks. The ship will
take on 5000 tons of sugar, 1000 tons
of molasses, 25 tons of miscellaneous
freight, and $1,000 bay racing mare
which has been sold by Angus Nc
Phee to parties on the Coast.
The vessel is scheduled to sail for
Honolulu some time Sunday night
and will get away for the Coast next
Tuesday.

SEE HOPE FOR RATIFICATION
OE TPEATN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Possibili-
ties of substantial break in Demo
cratic ranks on the German peace
treaty issue became apparent last
night and We're of sufficient gravity TO
impel influential Democrats to move
for caucus to discuss the advisability
of changing the policy of administra-
ton supporters with respect to the
Republican program of ratifications.
The situation served to revive hopes
of Republican senators that ratifica-
tiOn of the treaty with reservations
attached might be carried. Accord
ing TO Republican leaders, % Demo
Gratis have signified their willingness
to accept the Republican program.
This support, with the present number
of Republican votes pledged to the
reservations program is nearly enough
to insure ratification.
