Conn. Governor
To ignore Hays
Suffrage Plea
Holcomb Expected to Re-
fuse to Call Special Ses-
sion of the Assembly, De-
spite Chairman's Letter
Women Plan Reprisals
Movement Begun to With
hold Contributions I'm
less They Are Given Vote

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 9.-Gov-
ernor Marcus Fl. Holcomb will ignore
the letter received to-day from Will H.
Hays, chairman of the National Repub-
llcan Committee, urging that a special
session of the Connecticut General
Assembly be called to act on the suf-
trage amendment. It was said here
'o-nnght. Since the visit paid the
governor by delegation of Connect
cut suffraglsts last Saturday, it had
pcen expected he would refuse the re-
quest OF the national chairman.
Mr. hays's letter was made public to-
day. AS an arrument for immediate ac-
ton IN Connecticut, he said "Relieve
the American woman from the neces-
sity OF claiming her constitutional
right and her sister from the fancied
necessity of opposing the claim and
you will liberate a body of public opin-
ion on the campaign and it's issues
which will in itself be one of our
greatest national assets"
In taking definite issue with Gov
ernor Holcomb, who contends that no
rational emergency exists, Chairman
Hays wrote:
81 do not agree that so great an issue
should be settled only after fresh
legislative election.
Wisely or unwisely, the question
whether ratification of proposed
amendment should be submitted to the
state legislatures or to popular con-
ventions composed of delegates elected
upon that issue, has been by the Con-
stitution of the United States vested
IN Congress and not in the states.
II urge ratification, first, in the
hope of thereby clearing the political
atmosphere; second, in the belief that
the suppression of effective opinion
works harm to the whole body polite.
and, finally, in the conviction that we
owe immediate action as a measure of
simple justice to American women"
In his letter Mr.. Hays declared fur
ther that the cause of Governor Hol-
comb and the Republican party were
one, and said that individually and
collectively the effort of Republicans
has been to secure the ratification Of
the suffrage amendment" For himself
ne n, ADDED: Personally, let me say
that | am sympathetic with it,"
Mr.. Hays asserted that the suffrage
question was not a party question and
that special legislative session was
a small price to pay for a clearer DO
litical atmosphere"
Connecticut Republicans who have
done their utmost to prevail upon the
Governor to refrain from calling a
Legislative session, were manifestly
disturbed by the formation of com
mitee, headed by Mrs. Willis N. Austin,
which is obtaining signatures to s'No
vote--no money" pledge. They signers
say they will not give penny to the
republican campaign this fall unless
favorable action in behalf of suffrage
is obtained

Practically coincident with the pub
lication of the armistice came the
news that the Republican party had
oeen successful in the Congressional
elections of 1918. From that nome mt
american progress stopped, partisan
ship took possession of public affairs
and Republican leaders became more
interested in political success than in
national honor. The results were i'm
mediate and disastrous.
Every enemy of society, of peace or
OF civilization took quick advantage of
the fatal period of hesitancy Amer
lcan commerce, which ought to have
been seeking every port in the world
was unable to develop ADEQUATE trade
channels or find settled basis for de-
velopment. All the processes of ma
tlonal life were impaired and there
was a gradual accumulation of domes-
tic problems which have not been ad-
Justed and which cannot be satisfac-
torlly dealt with until our relationship
to the rest of the world has been de-
termined
There has not been an hour since
the November elections of 1918 during
which the American people have not
pad staggering penalty for the Re-
publican triumph of that year There
is but one way out. There is but one
clear path Of duty. 1t is to redeem
Americas word to the world and to
assume without hesitation our share
of the task Of rehablitating the
broken structure of civilization.
THE Democratic party is uncon-
qterable in it's hold upon the truth
that America belongs to the world and
cannot serve herself while breaking
faith with others. Such is our cause
and our purpose. That you will hold
high the standard we place in your
hands we do not for a moment doubt. "

BRITISH MINERS AIM TO
GET NATURALIZATION

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 2-Ad-
dressing a Labor meeting at Batter
sea Town Hall, Frank Hodges, secre-
tary to the Miners Federation, said
that they had come to the end of
what had been described as an educa-
tional campaign for the nationalist
ton of the mines. II was no longer
an academic question, but had be
come one of practical politics and
practical industrial application. To a
large degree they had won public
opinion to their cause. At the outset
Of the campaign he had felt skeptical
as to its probable results. But all
that skepticism had vanished.
1--WE make no vain boast" said Mr..
Hodges, we are going on with quiet
logged determination to secure this
and we shall secure it. We have not
talked flamboyantly of a national
strike. Our plan has been well and
truly laid. We know the system we
propose to establish will revolutioniZe
the basis of industry in this country.
We know when that happens it will
be the biggest thing that has ever
happened. We know that soon there
will be several changes of a very fun
udllltllIdl CHARACTER. ludJ IL WHY We
have laid our plans well. Some of
the more revolutionary spirits might
say We were not going fast enough,
but we are probably going much faster
than most of tia revolutionary men be
cause we b leased to talk rev
he ON an prepared to act it.
We are go Onward with a deter
mination IT, ,Grill not brook defeat,
but will win through regardless of
the cost"
Fred Bramley, assistant secretary of
the Trade Union Congress, said tn"
if the nation and the government
thought the demand for nationalist
ton of the mines was a matter only
between the Miners Federation and
the government, both were making a
grave mistake. The whole trade union
movement considered the time ahd
come to cease passing resolutions and
get to business. 81 do not think"
said Mr.. Branley, eve shall ever have
a better opportunity to force the is

NEW BRITISH ORDER
FRESH ARGUM EMIT FOR
FEDERAL INCORPORATION

WASHINGTON. April 10-Under
the terms of a recent Order of the
Privy Council of the British Govern
ment, mo person other than a British
subject resident within the limits of
this Order, shall act as managing
director or in any position similar to
that of managing director, OF shall
otherwise exercise general or sub
stantial control of the business of a
China Company" AS a result, all
American managers of American com
panies organized, for convenience, IN
der the British Incorporation Laws
for China have been forced to resign
their places in favor of British sub
jects.
This order is only M of the ag-
gressive steps taken in the last year
by the British Government in con
formity with its policy of government
total encouragement and support of
foreign trade. By way of contrast,
the Congress Of the United States has
recently been attempting to destroy
the one agency of our Government
which is most effective in aiding for
eign trade, the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, by cutting out
its appropriations.
This expulsion of the American
managers from all companies incor-
grated under the Companies Ordi-
nance, 1911, of the Colony of Hong
kong" lends peculiar force to the eff
forts of the National Foreign Trade
Council and American Chamber of
Commerce in Shanghai to secure the
passage of a bill permitting Federal
Incorporation for Foreign Trade.
Bills now pending before Congress
aim to remedy the situation. In China
at present, a company formed by Am
orleans and backed by American
capital can be incorporotod only under
the laws of Great B. lse under
those of one of our difte. states.
These state laws are so u1l Z and
ange so constantly, and court pro
e lure and decisions vary so much in
the different states, that the state
laws are generally distrusted abroad,
and it is difficult, often impossible, to
secure investment of foreign capital
in American concerns organized I'M
der these laws.
Federal corporation of American
concerns doing business abroad would
lend the confidence and prestige of
the federal name and authority to our
foreign traders, and nothing is as i'm
'portant to foreign trade as mutual
confidence.
1t is highly desirable that firms
abroad made up of Americans, but
depending largely upon foreign money
for their capital, be permitted to do
business under the American flag in
such a way as to attract the invest
ment of foreign money. This invest
ment in American concerns would in
evitably LEAD to the purchase of Amer
lea goods, and would therefore be of
the greatest value in aiding the growth
of American foreign trade.

Young Man MarrieS
And The Disappears
Is Said To Have Wife And Children
On Hawaii Leaves Hotel Bill And
Fails To Make Return On Money
Collected

The police and various other per-
sons on different parts of Maui, in Ho-
nolulu and on the Big Island, are in
terested, for various reasons, in the
Whereabouts of one John Z. Alexander.
They have been interested in this for
a couple of weeks or more, but up to
the present the young man in question
has managed to efface himself very
thoroughly.
Alexander, who spent a considerable
part of his earlier years on Maui, ar
rived here a month or more ago as
a circulation agent for the Honolulu
Advertiser. He volunteered to repre-
sent the Maui News in like capacity
on Maui and his proposition was &C
cepted, and a few days later he dis
appeared in so far as most persons on
Maui knew.
1t later developed thf'asAlexander,
in a whirl-wind wooir IlEGh and wed
a very estimable young woman named
Estrella, in the Hama district. He left
her a few days later, came back to
Wailuku for a few hours, and then
dropped from sight. The police say
that Alexander also has a wife and
several children on Hawaii.
From complaints which have come
in, Alexander is supposed to have
collected about SIS for subscriptions
to the Maui News which he never
turned in to the Office. 1t is under
stood that he is also indebted to the
Advertiser company in much greater
amount for similar collections made.
He also left unpaid a board bill of
S37 owing to the Waikiki Hotel, and
it is said he borrowed SIS from his
brother-in-law before he left Hama.
The Honolulu police have not yet
been able to locate Alexander al
though they have been notified.

Chairman Porter of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, an

to Gerry it over a possible presidential
veto. Democratic leaders declared,
however, that on a revote, party lines
would be strictly enforced.

TarO Scarcity Puts
Poi On The Elevator
Shipping OF Product To Big Island
Blamed With Rise In PriCe-Wil
Soon Reach 5 Cents, Is Now The
Prediction.

a poi famine impends on Maui. Ac-
cording to those who are in touch with
the situation, taro, which a few weeks
ago was a drug at 80 cents to 81 a
bag is now readily commanding So a
bag and is hard TO get at that figure.
Poi which could be bought two or
three weeks ago at % pounds for a
dollar, has advanced to 20 pounds for
the dollar. and it is predicted it will
Don reach ) cents a pound or 20
pounds for a dollar.
Maui has been better supplied with
tarO than most of the rest of the ter
ritory and prices have been lower.
This has resulted in the shipping of
a large amount of taro out of the is
land. 1t is stated hat a little Wailuku
hui has been sending about so bags a
week to Hawaii for months past, and
netting a neat profit on it, as taro has
been unusually scare on the Big Is
land for a long time.
These shipments, together with the
fact that it is now rather the off sea-
son for taro, has finally resulted in
the upward trend of the staple.
Another factor is the fact that vari-
Gus land, it is reported, is being with
drawn from taro culture for that of
rice, Chinese growers being again
tempted by the high price of the
cereal, which is now about SIS per
bag.
Poi was scarce on Maui about a
year ago, and the situation was made
more acute by Honolulu spectators
who boosted the price by shipping out
q great deal of taro to the city.

Board Rejects All Bids
Will Do Work Itself

All three tenders for the cOnstruc-
ton of a concrete girder bridge over
the Waiahona stream, Hama, were
thrown out by the supervisors at their
meeting last Friday, and the county
engineer instructed to proceed with
the work with day labor. The three
bids which had been opened on the
previous Wednesday were as follow !:
James b. Agassiz, $54S2; Hugh Ho-
well, STAG; f. C. Mellor, $S4S4.
The board took the position that all
the bids were excessive.
In the matter of construction of a
section of concrete paving at the 13
mile stone on the Paia-Makawao road,
the single bid submitted by Hugh
Howell was also rejected. Howells
bid for the work was $1,000.
