Inter-Island Co. I
Not to Make Use
New Mala Wharf
Letter to Harbor Board Says
Cross Currents Make Land
ings Unsafe for Larger
Boats Under Conditions
ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU, April 27-Mala wharf
will not be used regularly by the In
ter-1sland Steam Navigation Company.
It's officers consider the wharf unsafe
for use of the larger boats of the COM
pany Cross currents are blamed and
1t is proposed to anchor passenger
craft off the wharf instead of off La
haina and bring passengers ashore in
boats as has been done at Lahaina.
In letter from the Inter-Island Com
pany to the Harbor Board, received
this morning it was said that under
existing conditions the company con-
sidefs the new Mala Wharf as unsafe
for it's vessels to dock alongside un-
less certain alterations, improvements
and additions are made.
Small vessels, it says, can go along
side safely after breasting buoys have
been provided on either side, but
larger vessels cannot and it is too
dangerous for freight and passengers.
1t suggests that larger vessels lay off
the wharf, as they have done at La
haina and land passengers by small
boats, as formerly. 1t also suggests
that boat landings be supplied on both
sides of the wharf at the lower end
orTat the sea end if the wharf be eX-
tended.
The letter gave the opinions of the
masters of its larger vessels which
said cross currents were a source of
danger.

Centenary Of Birth
Of General Grant is
Largely Observed
ASSOCIATED PRESS

POINT PLEASANT, Ohio, April 81
Nationwide interest has turned to-
day to this little town where was Gel
ebrated the hundredth anniversary of
one of the country's presidents and
greatest military leaders, Ulysses S.
Grant.
A flotilla OF river craft brought
President and Mrs. Harding, congress
men, officials and military and naval
officers from Cincinnati. 1t was the
first time that president in office
ever came to the anniversary celebra-
tion. William Forester, a civil war
veteran and the only man in this vicin-
ity who knew Grant, was given the
place of honor during the exercises.
President Harding, speaking near
the home where Grant was born said:
"The world today needs something of
Grants spirit. | sometimes wonder if
the magnanimity of Grant, the dogged,
persistent, and unalterable Grant, in
warfare unconditional surrender
Grant, would not be helpful to the
world today. Harding paid tribute to
Grant as THE military hero of the re
public, a surprising example of mag
namity, and at all times the confident
and relentless commander in war, but
modest, sympathetic, and petitioner
for peace after the victory" He said:
1T will not be unseemly to say the
American conception of justice and
liberty has since then influenced the
world little less significantly than
Grants service to the union has shap-
ed the course OF our land"
The president referred to the hor-
rors of the world war and postwar
threats against civilization but added:
"a calm survey gives every assurance
that twenty centuries of modern civil
ization could not have been builded
on foundations which are false"
He referred to Grants humble begin
ming and illustrous development as an
example of what is possible in Am
erica and added: He sought not to
make conquest of territory or to eX-
pand an empire, he was seeking only
TO preserve. He went in a normal
way, face ever forward and ready to
quicken his step when opportunity
called or a responsibility summoned"

Bank, Trust Co. and
Branch Bank Taken
Over by Territory
ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU, April 27-Territorial
Treasurer Lewis today took over the
affairs of the Hawaii Bank of Com
merce and its allied concern, the Com
mercial Trust Company, both promot-
ed originally by the same interests
that were identified by the Peoples
Bank and the Security Trust Com
pany of Hilo which went into the
hands over a receiver several weeks
since. His action resulted from i'm
pairment of the capital and inadequate
resources of the institutions. Through
Attorney General Harry Irwin he peti-
tions for the appointment of the Wa
terhouse Trust Company as receivers
for the institutions. That trust COM
pany was named as receiver for the
two Hilo concerns. The Bank of
Kauai branch was also ordered closed
by Treasurer Lewis in a wireless mes
sage.
Imparement of the capital amounts
to about $3.50 a share, the par value
of which is $40 and totals about S95.-
600. Bank officials said that the diff
culties are due in large measure TO
the burden of carrying the Kauai
branch which was taken over with the
formation of the Honolulu concerns.
That branch has lost $4,000, officials
said.
Lewis states that the officials of the
two institutions have been endeavor.
ing for some time past to effect re-
organization and to secure working
capital and that every opportunity
would be given them with the assist
ance OF the receiver to carry out such
plans.
ID. e. MetZger, former territorial
treasurer, is president of both institu-
tions which opened their doors for
business on January 8, last They are
capitalized at 100000 of which $780,
900 has been paid in. 1t is consider
ed unlikely that the depositors will
lose anything.
In Maui banking circles the news
of the taking over of the two institu-
tions occasioned no surprise. Some
thing of the nature has been expect
ed ever since the closing of the Hilo
institutions. World financial condi-
tions operated against the success of
new banking ventures at the time the
two institutions were opened and
since and the former connection of
the concerns with the Hilo interests
involved in the bank failures there
added further to difficulties that were
encountered.
Neither of the local banks have
been in any way affected by the
troubles of the Hilo or Honolulu bank
ing concerns.

Russia Must Take or
Leave Proposals as
Finally Presented
ASSOCIATED PRESS,

GENOA, Apr. 2S-Plans for Russian
obstruction are being prepared So
reconstruction are being finally prepar-
ed and it indicated that a definite pro
position will be laid before the Russia
delegation by the end of the week to ac-
cept or reject without further discus
sion. 1t is reported that the plan con-
templates economic colonization"
with guaranty of no interference
with the Soviet regime; an interna-
tional consortium to finance trade but
no loan.
The difference between the French
delegation to Genoa and the govern
ment at Paris has resulted in Barthel-
du, head of the delegation telegraph
ing to Poincaire for permission to go
to Paris and confer. The difficulty
appears to have arisen through the
growth of the spirit of Cancellation and
cooperation which the French govern
ment does not appear to have grasp
ed. Poincaire's Bar lie Due address
tended to increase the feeling that
France is isolating herself and not
rendering the cooperation which is
essential to the success of the Genoa
conference. Everybody here insists
that what is wanted is more good will
and less hatred in Europe.
1t is announced that the official
view points of France regarding the
reply of Russia have been promised
following a long telephone converse
ton between Barthou and Poincaire
last night.
Dispatches from Berlin via London
say that Germany and Russia VIII re-
sumo diplomatic relations immediate,
ly as a result of their treaty.

Harbor Board Observing

The cross currents are only about
half a knot an hour and members of
the harbor board have characterized
the objections as ridiculous and made
comparisons between the currents at
Mala and those in San Francisco har-
Dor. Chairman Bigelow has said the
harbor board will observe conditions
and determine whether the extension
of the wharf, contemplated to be
made later. should run straight out or
T shape so that vessels could lie head
and stern on to the currents.
The Inter-Island Company has been
unloading and loading freight at the
wharf with. its smaller craft but with
the exception of the formal opening
of the structure, has not run the Maui
ma Kea or any other of its larger boats
alongside.
Some Opinions
D. T. Fleming, when told of the let
ter to the harbor board, said that even
if passengers have to be landed in
small boats the situation will be bet
ter at Mala where it is always smooth
er than Lahaina and there is no dang
er of being capsized.
William Walsh said he was not sur
prised at the decision from what he
had heard from officials of the Inter
Island Company on the subject. A.
w. Collins, chairman of the Mala
wharf committee of the Maui Cham
Der of Commerce said this morning
that he had received a copy of the let
ter and that while he thought some of
the points raised by the Inter-Island
Company were well taken,' he thought
it was rather hard on the Maui pub
lie and the travelling public that such
a decision should be reached by the
company without further trial and
more extensive observations. He add
ed that it yet remains to be seen what
the Harbor Board will do.

Traffic in Illegal
Booze Being Halted

In a measure owing to the concert
ed and untiring efforts of the Maui
Womans Club and that organizations
relentless drive against offenders of
the National Prohibition Act to stop
the illegal traffic in okolehao and
other forms of intoxicating liquors,
two arrests were effected in leading
Japanese hotels of Wailuku on Sat
urday night and Sunday.
Police officer H. Enos was respon-
sible for the arrest of both of the
offenders although aided by an in
former well enough known to the
trafficers to purchase the liquor need
ed in evidence for a prosecution.
Saturday night, Enos and the in
former visited the Higashi Hotel on
Kalua avenue and bought drink and
a bottle of okolehao. Marked curren-
cy was used in payment for the
oke and succeeded in bringing the
proprietor of the hotel, ]. Higashi-
guchi within the reach of the law.
He was arraigned that night in the
police court and released upon de-
posit of bail with instructions to ap'
pear in the District Court on Wednes'
Jay morning. A plea of guilty was
entered on Wednesday morning and q
fine of $3.50 imposed by Magistrate
Mossman which Higashiguchi paid.
Not satisfied with the one arrest
on Saturday, the two representatives
of the law continued on to the Ichi
cki Hotel on Market street. They ar
rived in time to find T. Mizoguchi
about to deliver a quantity of sake
to that hostelry. A second arrest
was made and the offender, arraign
ed Sunday morning, was released on
f$100 bail. His case was also set foI
Wednesday morning but failing to ap
pear he forfeited bail. Fifteen per
cent of the total money paid in fines
will go to the informer

Effort to Gain
Rights Of Hawaii
Given real Start
Strong Resolution Passed by
Honolulu Chamber of Com
merce and Cooperation
Whole Territory be Sought
ASSOCIATED PRESS,

HONOLULU, April 27-In an effort
TO secure for the Territory of Hawaii
its rights as an integral part of
the United States the Honolulu
lu Chamber of Commerce in meeting
today unanimously authorized its
president to appoint COMMITTEES Of
five to confer with Governor Earring
ton and with other organizations of
Hawaii nei with view to securing
action by appropriate means to es-
tablish the rights to which this terri
tory is entitled.
The resolution passed by the cham
Der sets forth: THE Honolulu Cham
ber of Commerce claims that this
territory is an integral part of the
United States and is entitled to re
cognition and the enjoyment of all
privileges as such. The status of
this claim is based on the history and
procedure incident to the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States, upon
legislation and the construction of
the same by executive officials and
the decisions of the courts.
Congress recently has refused on
several occasions to recognize the
right of Hawaii to participate in
general legislation appertaining to
the United States as a whole. The
Chamber of Commerce considers this
attitude of congress as inconsistent
with the legal equitable and moral
rights of the territory and it's citizen
It tends to establish precedents which
may be of great injury financially and
otherwise to the territory and its
people,"
l.. a. Thurston presented the resolu-
ton and spoke for it as did former
Governors w. F. Frear and Sanford
B. Dole and r. c. Brown and others.

Cuban Sugar Problem
Seems Less Serious
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, April 27-The de-
partment of commerce reports the
the outlook of the Cuban sugar pro-
blem more promising than in many
months past. Reasonable estimates
of the total available cuban sugar for
the year are placed at 4,700,000 tons
The solution of the problem rests on
the ability of the world markets to
absorb that amount in addition to
100000 tons. Tariffs protect the
output of sugar moving from Cuba
as far as the orient. Optimists feel
certain the British and French de-
mands which are estimated at $OO,-
600 tons will provide an outlet for
that portion of the balance that the
United States is unable to absorb.

singers will arrive tomorrow morn
ing on the kilauea and will number
IL in all, Mrs. ID. L. Crawford coming
as accompanist
Wide interest has been aroused by
the announcement of the prospective
concerts. There is a snap and a dash
to the music and songs of the college
boys which has more universal and
general appeal than music of other
sorts and the program that has been
arranged for the Maui concerts is
especially full of promises of good
things.
Madame Peacock by reputation is
well known on Maui. One of her
pupils at the present time is Miss
Eva Rodrigues. She came to Hawaii
three years ago, with an enviable repu
tatlon of successful concerts and
large classes of students. Her roper
toire of songs is unusually large, for
she has over three hundred solos,
words and music at her command.
Her magnetic personality combined
with true artistry has gained for her
the friendship of all Honolulu. While
president OF the Morning Music Club
OF the city, the club has undertaken
new lines of activity and interest in
1t is thoroughly aroused. A concert
given for American relief last month
netted $3.50, and was a complete sue
cess. Madame Peacock's own solo
work, and her vim and enthusiasm in
spire all who know and hear her. and
give great enjoyment to all her audi
ences We shall all be glad to extend
a hearty welcome to Madame Peacock.

THE VERY GOODLY MAN
Copyright is22 BY Edgar A Guest

| know a man, a goodly man, a Cody man ia he;
on Sabbath days he reads the Book to wife and children
three,
On Wednesday eve he leads in prayer and asks the Lord
above
To lead him in the path of right and in the ways of love-
But strange to say this goodly who prays for love
and grace,
Sheds little mrth around his hearth but wears solemn
face,
He finds much fault with this that and if his wife
should plead
For silver for gngham dress he would not grant her
need
Ofttimes when up his children to beg for coins
10 buy
The sweets displayed in and shop in anger he'll
reply:
Think you that money grows trees or I am made of
gold?
Run off and shun the worldly dens, whose joys are
bought and sold"
This goodly prays night by night and asks the Lord
to give
Uncounted blessings unto him that he in peace may live
Yet when his wife children three ask delight
of him,
lie keeps his money in his purse and spurns their
slightest whim.
He does not cheat, he does not steal he does not tell
lie;
He is indeed goodly man. which deny,
He reads the Book on Sabbath days-yet such churl
is he,
should not like to be his wife of his children three.
