fore the drought was really broken onHawaii and Maui. It is probable,therefore, that the managers have lean-ed toward the aide of conservatism andIt la likely that in a number of in-

New Sugar Price

Cuban Price With Freight. Insur-

ance and Duty Added Is Evi-

dently, Basis and Equalizationof Price Goes Forward

Cabled quotations of the price forHawaiian sugar received yesterdaymorning by the I'lanters' Associationgave the figures as 5.92. Since Amo-ciate-

Press despatches had told of anIncrease Of ten cents ft hundred in thewholesale priro of beet sugsr some hadexpected that the quotation for Ha-waiian cane raws would be higher. Itis evident, however, that the price of5.92 was fixed by the sugar commis-sions.

In figuring on the newly announcedsiigar price it would appear that it hasbeen arrived at from a. basis previouslyannounced for Cuban taws. That basiswas 14.60 ft hundred f.o.b. Cuba, thirtycents for freight and an added cost formarine insurance. The differential, be-

cause of duty is 1.0048 which wouldmake the cost of niarimi insurancesomething less than two rents a hun-

dred pounds.' Here the impression prevails thatthere may be some little fluctuations inprice owing to ft varying freight ratebetween Cuba and the I'nited States.Now that freight is figured at a to.,while ft few months: sgo, when therewere rumors of the submarine warfarebeing carried into Atlantic coastwisewaters, the rate was I2. Huch a ratewould make ft difference of thirty centsa hundred on New York prices for Cu-

ban raws and ft consequent stabilizingrise of the same amount in the pricefor Hawaiian raws. v

It is believed here that the reportedten rents rise in beet sugar is a dis-

trict affair, done by the sugar commis-sions ia nn effort a'tThe country was divided into two sonesto bring about this gradual adjUHtment

nil thus far little beet sugar has reach-

ed the Eastern none. Home did reachthe New York market ia an effort toalleviate the sugar famine in the Kast.As yet but little Cuban sugar has reach-

ed the market and the Louisiana crop,smaller than expected, has been some-

what held back also. In the fare ofthis, and with no cane competition,there has been n 'op in the trice' ofreBned ia New York. Eastern- - beetsugar waa somewhat late but ia nowreported as moving and the Cubaa cropia exjiected to be moving soon. An ad-

justment of ten rents on Eastern beetwould therefore seem to have been amatter of fairness to briug about aeloser equalisation of beet and caneprices in the East.

LAST OF CROP M AY :

WAIT FOR SHIPPING

Vessel Now In Port Which WasExpected To Take Big Cargo

May Be Requisitioned

It now appears possible thst the lastof the 117 crop and the first of the19IS crop may not leave the Islandsso soon as has been expected. Planshad been made for the shipment of7500 tons at an early dnte in a steam-er that is now in port, hnving arrivedwith a cargo of coal. This stosmer mayie utilised in whole or in part by thegovernment, It WAs learned yesterday.In consideration of the use of suchsteamer, she has been nienfiire.l, at therequest of the government, and thepossibility Of her uel; is still under con-

sideration. Shippers yes'erday werehoping thst at least enough space tocarrj tin rant of the old crop could bespared in ease the government did findneed of her service.' fhe hud beensent over with the idea of taking awaya. full cargo- - and arrangement madearrordingly by the shippers.

No more definite information as towhat ' bottoms may be made availablefor the movement of the 1918 crop hasbeen received-

-locally. The fact that

the government hns recently requisi-

tioned number of vessels on arrivalhere has not. been encouraging and withgrinding already 'commenced in ft som-

ber of mills there has been an increasein the sense of anxiety which has beenmore or less manifest since the com-

mandeering of the Matson liners. The

hie and belief still prevails that waysand menns will be found by the foodadministration and the shipping boardbut urgent government necessities inother lines may result in a considerabledelay in the getting away of the crop,at the outset at least.

AUSTRALIAN BEET.

INDUSTRY GROWING

Rapid Progress Is Now BeingMade Following Years ot Dis- -;

couragement In PastBy AMBROSE PEATT

I (In Pacta About Sugar) .'

MKI.BOURNK, Australia, .October 1

The first attempt to establish thebeet sugar industry in Australia datesbock to 1AIKI, when the Government ofVictoria was induced, at the instanceof a press campaign, to endeavor tomake that state independent of import-ed, supplies of cane sugar. Victorianfarmers, however, proved very loth toundertake cultivation of beets, and s

not until 1897 that' the movementmade any headway, In that year ft

number of farmers in the Maffr dis-trict formed . cooperative " companyand,' having ; been subsidized by thegovernment to the extent of twopoanda sterling for every one poundsubscribed by shareholders, erectedfactory for making sugar from beets at

cost of aeverrty thousand pounds. ,iFirst Attempt ft FftUnro. The company carried on operationsfor two years, but owing to a variety ofadverse conditions it waa closed downand the eovernment entered into possession of the factory ; and plant asmortgagee. From 1WH) to 1909 the fac-tory remnined closed, the governmentof Victoria confining ita efforts In themeanwhile to purely experimental agri-cultural work. At the end of the periodnamed .the farmers of the Maffra dis-

trict .were ' sufficiently ' educated as tothe advantage of beet growing to jus-tify the- - reopening of the factory. ' Thegovernment thereupon caused the wholeplant to be overhauled aad modernisedand procured the services' as factorfmanager! of ft most capable Americanbeet augar man, G. 8. Dyer, whose fam-ily has been honorably connected withthe industry in America ever since Itsinception

The first campaign was started nnderMr. Dyer's management in April,-1911- ,

and It successfully demonstrated thatbeets, can be grown commercially andprofitably b'y Victorian farmers andthat n standard marketable sugar ofhigh quality could be manufactured ata profit at the government rate. Mostof the grower realized handsome pr-ofit, aftor paying U expenses. Thesugar ' prodrrred commanded a higherprice than MX cfttie suga placed on theV ictorian market. The area under eropin 1911 was only 458 acres. ,

Awakening Takes PlaceIn the following year 752 acres were

planted end since thst year the areaplanted hss increased annually byabout 100 acres. The tardiness withwhich the industry has developed is at-

tributed to the extremely conservativetemprrnm.-r.-i of tho Victorian farm.ir,vihicb forbids him engaging in any en-

terprise v. ith which he ia not perfestlyfamiliar mid makes him stubbornly re-

luctant to receive instructions. During the last couple of yeara, however,there has been a noticeable awakening,nnd not merely in the Maffra, districtbut in all parts of Victoria the farmersare showing themselves anxious to un-

dertake the cultivation of beeta. Theirincreased interest is due to the successof the two last Maffra crops.

In 1915 there were produced in Maf-

fra 14,400 tons from 1200 acres sown,and most of the farmers made veryhandsome profits. In 1910, more than15,130 tons of boets were put throughthe factory from the same acreage,from which about 18S9 tons of refinedsugar were manufactured. The sugarcontent of the beets exceeded 12.6 per-cent. Tho gross factory profit on theyear's working wns 15,000; and therewas net profit of 8000, after payiuginterest ou all capital charges andworking and manufacturing costs. Theprice paid for the beets to farmers was

20,280. Manufacturing charges ab-

sorbed 15,000 and factory repairs anddiscounts accounted for 2200.Favorable Prospect

Prospects for the coming season arehighly favorable, but unfortunately thearea planted will not exceed that of lastyear, owing to governmental lack, offoresight iu procuring aeod. Had suf-ficient seed been available, the plant-ing for the next season probably wouldhave exceeded 5000 acres. The Vic-

torian Government obtaina ita aeed sup-plies chiefly from Europe and acta asole supplier to the producers. Withlamentable shortsightedness it failedlast year to order reasonably increasedquantities in advance. The consequencewas it was obliged to disappoint theexpectations of numerous new and oldcustomers, and by the time it waaable to announce that aeed was on theway and already outside of the sub-marine danger cone, score of farmersbad already devoted their land to otherpurpose. ; imnJI

tiucu a setback is unlikely to occuragain. The sugar beet industry hastaken an inconceivable time to ''catchon" In Australia, but it may be confi-dently said that ita future- ia now

It is rapidly growing in' popu-larity and it ia no longer a, novelty.Moreover the primary producers of Vic-

toria have at .length, become onvine,edthat they can secure better all roundreturns front beet growing than fromany tit her crop, despite the extra costand enre demanded by the cultivationof the beets.

Bonus Arc Heard

Saving Does Not- - Amount .To- Nearly As Much As Will the In-

creased Cost of . Freight ToSan Francisco Alone ;

No protects against tb new bonussystem announced by . the HawaiianHugar Plantera' Association last, weekhave been received by that body unless the editorial comment of the Jap-

anese paper be considered in the na-

ture of the protest. Plantation agenciesay that - ao unfavorable . comment

have come to them from the plantationlaborer themselves.

It was expected that the action ofthe aasoriation would eause disappoint-ment and it is still expected that itwill, but the announcement of tbelower price of sugar and of the in-

creases in freight rate came sttime that made the mora significantand convincing the reasons which theassociation gave for its action.Trustees Take Action '

The action of the augar planter fol-

lowed the executive session of the firstafternoon of the meeting when trusteesand plantation managera discussed thelabor and wage, situation. No com-

mittee wa named at that time otherthan tbe whole board of trustees andA. Wt T., Bottomiey, mentioned ftlchairman of that committee, hal nomore to do with the formulating ofthe new plans than had any of theother trustees, despite tbe credit thatwas given to him, i

When the trustee decided Upon themethod that was employed it was theireffort not to make any reduction thatwould affect 'the monthly receipts ofthe laborers so that they would feelthe cost or living more than formerly.This was brought about by letting tkreduction, which waa inevitable if someof thet plantationa were to continue,Come at the end of the bonus yeatonly. They were still to receive theirmonthly earnings and the lidded thirty-t-

hree percent of that amount eachmonth, assuring them of a third morewage than they were paid before thewar.' . .' - ' V i

. The reduction which come at theend of the year amount to twenty-on- e

percent, the incf-ease- .basis being ilAs ton in the sugar price and the bonusbeing one and half percent on eachdollar anerease in price over too minimum. '

Does Not Pay Freightr ' It has beea estimated that the bonus

paid this year will approach 7,000,000so that the saving another year shouldnet about ftl,4(KljK)0. Thje increasein freight, figuring that the whole ofnext year's crop be sent to San Fran-cisco, which will not be the case,will amount to 12,000,000 so thatit is evident that the eut intbe bonus will not .begin Ho makeup for the increased freight rate alone,not taking ito consideration the otherincreases' in costs of production.

After February, most of the. NewTork sugar will go by rail from KanFrancisco and it is expected by thattime an increase of fifteen percent willhave been allowed tbe railroads whichwill bring the freight between1 Honolulu and New York up to $20.80 witha sixty-tw- cent bill- of lading taxadded, as against $9.50 by water, atthe present time. That is eachton of sugar sent to New York in thatn ay after February will cost ' theplanters here fll.12 moro than haveshipments to New York by way of thecanui uuung the past year.

BELIEVES IMPORTS OF. .

SUGAR WILL CEASE

Representative of Food Administration Is Optimistic

Few if . any. import of refinedsugar from tbe mainland to the Islandiu the coming year is the promise receotly made' by J. Fi Child, representa-tive of the food administration in Hawaii. He claims that recent importswere made as the result of mistakeaud will not occur again.

It is the opinion of Mr., Child thatnational price; fixing ia sugar will resuit in the ending of imports here pfrefined sugar and of much of the exports made in the past. He expect tosee tiie Islund niu.de refined supply tbeIsland markets. In bis opinion it wasthe fluctuating price of sugar 'thatmad profitable shipments from hererather than sale at home. There wouldbe times, he said, when the market washigher on the mainland for refinedthan here. The local producer mightthen take advantage, of that highermarket. Ou the other hand, therewould. be time, when a, sudden slumpin sugar price on the mainland wouldpermit the wholesale grocer here- tomake a purchase there for a shipmenthere aa required later and thus to bencf'it, despite the freight rates.

While the representative of the foodadministration admits that tba spaceused in the past for sugar importscould now be better utilised for Imports that are really necessary be is inclined to minimise the ' necessity byNityiitg that such imports have not beenlarge. As a matter of fuct, suar andentiily imports have been nut far fromhnir a million pounds. He does not. be-

Many interesting points were broughtout in the address of Dr. Pratt whogave an outline of what scouts can doto help conserve food. Statistics, ' bsaid, show that every rat destroy food-wort-

$1.37 each ymr.t What savingsmight b effected through wholesale ex-

termination of rodents directed by BoyScouts may be guessed- - when one-trie-

President Dole of the organizationreviewed briefly the record Of the BoyScout In th Territory. He declaredthat he had made a part of the routineof his life the Scout motto, "OneCood Turn Dally," and he bad found itto be full of value of th best sort.

All of the ramification of the exten-sive work of the Scouts in the pastmonths were given in detail in the re-

Haley.The appointment, which i subject toconfirmation by the Fnited States sen-ate, la believed to be a recess one. Hofar ns known-Mr.- - Hathaway 'r namh not been er to

The new collector is now on the wsyto Honolulu and will tak office themorning of December 22. '

This information was received Tester- - '

day in a letter from th internal reve-nu- e

department in " Washington .' byRalphs. Johnstone, acting collectorsine the death of Mr.- Haley. Ji6 furtU- -'er particular were given in th lettv

' Mh Johnstone doer not know whothe new eolleetor is or where be comesfrom.;, Tho hews comes as a distinctsurprise, for it was believed in somequarters that the department ' wouldlam sortie local man from among themany

'who have been after the posi-

tion.It hsd "been" hoped by many in Hono-

lulu that Johnstone' ninny year ofefficient servls in the - departmentwould be rewarded by the Presidentby 'Ma appointment. ": There. Is ranch disappointment in Ho-nolulu that this big federal plum shouldgo to' A' mainland nrah, for it was be-lieved right along that- this time, par-ticularly, this important office would bogiven to an Island man, inasmuch asamong th Kany who were nfter thojob were several eligible, who wouldbo aoreptabU locally. ' . ' f

Keen disappointment is felt bere thatRalph S. Johnstone failed of landingthe position for. if any man wan en-titled to a position, say hia friends,.Tohnsfone was certainly that man. Heha been in the department's servicefor many year and for a long timhas been chief office deputy, a positioncarrying quite as much work, If notmot than that of tho head.; 'i

Since the death of Collector' Haley,several months aso, Johnstone baa bee'uacting Sepufy Collector and during this '

time ha conducted the' work of thoffle with satisfaction to all. it la aaid. '

Aa far aa could be learned yesterdsy,Mr. Hnthaway, th new collector, seemsto be Washington State man.

''When I waa la Washington D C.,'recently," said Malcolm A. Franklin,collector of the Tort of Honolulu, "Iwas-- given to nnderstand that tho ap-pointment for collector of internal rev-enue In Hawaii would go to a AVasli-ingro- n

State man. No names were men-- ,tloneil, bowever;. .1...

"I don't know Mr. Hathaway, ex-ce-

that I presume ho Is a 'Democratand, If he Is that,' as I 'take it forgranted, then I can say ho ia good'man." . ..' ..'' Among the local candidate for the

office, in addition to Ralph 8. John-stone, waa Clarene D. Pringle,' , who

'

was one a deputy, for a brief period vOf service,1 In the department. Mr. ,

Pringle waa one of three local wen whosecured the indorsement of th tcrri- -

torial executive committee of the lcino- - '

cratlc Party." -;-- '. .,'';; "..''.V. "v. '''."--

Pringle pressed hia ' candidacy evento th doors of congress in Washington,where he visited for a 'spell tn his own".'Interests: When' be returned bere neve...rnl weeks ago Pringle iermitted him-self to say that there was nothing toIt; that he had the appointment clinch-ed. All there Was really to be done,h believed, was the shouting and whenthe time came be would do all of that

Ralph Jobnatone took the situationvery philosophically when notified yes-terday from' Washington'' tbut Mr.Hathaway had been appointed. ' -- '

"I have nothing to say," he said,"aud will ouly await the arrival ofthe new rol lector. I shall be ready atnoy time to turn th office over to himand await hi pleasure."

It is believed that there will be no 7changes in the local office for loinotime. Collector-Hathawa- will natural-ly want to And himself aud lea ro tholay of the land. After that, it WU '

aaid yesterday, the changes, if auy willcome, may I made. Mr. Hathaway '

will probably ' have some mainlndfriends to honor and thou will beginthe falling of beads into the wastebasket.

44 It 1 a downright shame that the .'

pnrty ia power refuaeo to recognize '

efttcieucy in office," said a high officialyesterday, a man who Is almost of anon partisan' stamp. "There is no such '

thihg as c flic ieucy and honest servicewith the Democratic party.- It' all '

politics.' Tber Is absolutely no reasonunder th sun why Johnstone shouldnot hv received th appointment. If

mau waa ever entttlod to promutiou KJohnstone eertainlv was. , .

"Politics of this kind go towardmakintf any man desirous of aurviug tlinfederal government lukewarm in biefforts. The rase of Johustoue is oneid Hiut.

silence descended over the Capitolyesterday in regard to the official letter on file

there explaining who prevented the mobilizationof the National Guard of Hawaii. That letter waswritten by General Mann, in charge tf tht bureauof militia affairs at Washington, giving all thereasons why the uard was not called and statingthat these reasons were all regarded as havingsome substance in view of the previously cabledrequest of the Governor that army transports beused to carry Filipino laborers to the Islands. Whydo we not have that letter published in full? Onlybecause it puts the blame where it belongs. That'sall.

Wisconsin will soon have a chance to place it-

Secretary Lane states that he is too busy nowto take up the matter of the governorship of Ha-

waii, which is a pretty direct way of saying thata change has to be made and will be male at thefirst opportunity. Hawaii will know the name ofthe next Governor by about the middle of January.

i More deJlils relative to the importantgovernment work which takes W. nT.Hpalding of the Bpalding ConstructionCompany to France aad mention ofwhich was made in The Advertisersome weeks., since, have been receivedfrom the' mainland. It was learnedsome time since that he was to go aadtake charge of government building,representing the Boston firm which hadsecured. the contract. He expects to re-

turn tp Honolulu aome months hence.When the news waa published in Ho

nolulu, first it was not known that thework contemplated was ndarly ao largeas it now appears that It will proveto be. The following article, publish-ed under ft Washington date line inthe Chicago Tribune from ft staff cor-respondent tells of the work ahead:

Contract for the construction of aaimmense ordnanee depot and arsenal,which is to be established in connectionwith the overseas base for Americanforces, has been awarded to a Bostonfirm.

Payment for the work will be on thebasis of coat plus 10 percent. It is expected that the total expenditure willbe well over 100,000,000. Lathe andother special machinery for the arrenalare already being "delivered ant thecost of this equipment alone is estimated at 46.000,000. The site cannot bementioned.Flan. Vast Ball System

It may be said, however, thnt in eonneetioa with this construction' morethan 1000 miles of standard gauge rail-way will be built leading from tuidepot to the sector of front assignedto General Pershing. Special engineerorganizations recruited largely from thePennsylvania railroad's staff and head-ed by experts from that company arenow in France preparing for he inau-guration of the work.

The objection of the French officialcommission recently in this country pre-vented the awarding of these contractsto French firms. It was the originalplan pf the war. department to havethe : work dons,, by. French firms .' buttney were told plainly that the Frenchgovernment would prefer that not asingle maa be withdrawn from Frenchindustries, as this would mean the sub-traction of just that amount of supportfrom the fighting forces.10.000 Workmen listed

It was therefore determined to transport the large number of workmen ne-cessary from the United State and notless than 10,000 have been listed forthe purpose. All raw materials andmachinery'. will be mt from America.It is learned that in arranging for asite for the overseas bsse the UnitedStates obtained from the 'French gov-ernment, at the same time ft form!lease on a large tract of land Immediateiy artiaeent to the port selected.

For the duration of the war, there-fore, the United State will have ab-solute . jurisdiction over substantialsection it French territory. The termof the lease call for a nominal rental.

It was all about th Princes Tatiana,apparently, and the reading publi fol-low-

with breathless Interest fromday to day the steps of her reportedprogress in escaping from the land ofth former Czar to the home of thefree. And now it seems that insteadof th Princess Tatiana there is trave-ling' to the United Htates Mrs. H.Romanoff, Rnsslan prima donna. ..

Ia tb cleverly disguised- - dope centout, dope so clever that th Associa-ted Press wa carrying it daily asnews atory, it seemed likely that Nich-olas Romanoff, former Cr.ar of Russia,and Princess Tatiana, would arrive inHonolulu yesterday. In preparationfor this event Detective MrDuftie and

eoteri of sleuths wereon hand when the ship docked to actas th royal bodyguard. . ,Royalty Undiscovsrabls

But alas ; and alaekf Th RoyalRomanoffs did not ' arrive and manyindividuals are bemoaning their lossIn having their suits pressed twoweek ahead of th usual time. It wasa dejected looking band of detectivethat eventually filed along ; the pier ;

By atrang coincidence ft Mr. andMrs. H. Romanoff figured on the pas-- .'

"Th story f the escape of theformer Grand Duchess through ft mockmarriage, which was accredited to IvanNarodny, one of the member. of theNew York office' of the society, now isregarded by most Russians in thoUnited States and many others assomebody' good joke."

NEW FREIGHT RATE IS

Beginning tomorrow. December 15,

the new freight rates ou sugar ship-

ments to Hawaii and the mainland bythe national shipping board will go intoeffect, according to a cablegram receiv-

ed here yesterday by Castle ft Cooko,Ltd., local agents for the Matson Navi-gation Company.

It is reported that a short time agoE. D. Tenney, president of the Honoluluoffice of the Matson 'company, sent awireless message to the shipping boardrequesting them to set a' definite dutefor the starting of the new rates, whichthey did, sending hi i their reply im-

mediately after.By th new ruling, sugar transported

from Hawaii to San Francisco will paythe rate of seven dollars a ton, where-- 'as, the old rate was three dollars. Hu-g-

transported to New York by wayof Panama Canal will have to pay fif-teen dollars, whereas before the rulingwas Introduced, the rate was nine'dol- -

lars and fifty cents, showing a differ-ence of five dollars and fifty cents.

Sugar transported from Hawaii to '

New York by rail was paying the rate .

of fifteen dollars before the ruling wasintroduced, and the new rate it will ',have to pay beginning tomorrow is,nineteen dollars and soon, probably ,twenty dollars and eighty cents.

SHIPCOMPA WE

Coast Shipper Says Boats LeftWithout Handling Goods, Des-

pite Contracts For Delivery- -

HAN FRANCISCO, November 85President Frederick 3. Koster of thechamber of commerce will nnme theport committee of the organisation to-

morrow to work with tke harbor com-

missioners to. remedy the fault of BBFiancisCo harbor, thn4 are tending sclmuoh business to Seattle.,-- ,

The intention is to glva the SanFrancisco system a thorough examina-tion.. Pilotage, dockago charge iucompared with the Seattle system ofcharging no dockage, the policy ofrenting pier exclusively to perWnenttenant, the needs of the port in theway of new piers, the establishment(ft special facilities for handling cargo,the operation - of the' Belt Line, thefutility of allowing Importer to neethe pier an warehouses theee andother subjects will be investigated, allwith a 1 en ire to get mora efficiency, outof the harbor funilitie. Hearty

ia assured everywhere. '

Mennwhile . eomplalnt that ' BanFrancisco buninesa la being drivenaway to Sonttlo by superior facilitiesand. handling of freight continue, totome in. .

Shipper ComplainHow thin diversion ia being accom-

plished, both through congestion offreight and by the operation of thefreight broker, i told by W. J. Moy-lan- ,

tniflie manager of t,

Inc., who condemn the operation ofsome of the steamship companies oper-ating from here. This i what Moylanays: ,

'

"We bnve just booked 0500 ton offreight over the Chicago, Milwaukeek rtt. Paul railroad, through Seattleand thence to the Orient. Aa aoon ait reaches Seattle there will be ; athere have ftlwuya been steamerthere to take it. There will be nodelay and we are certain of the Ship-ments. Whyt Because the steamshipmen at Senttle are absolutely fair anddo not "overbook" their vessels. Thatis the vital point.Ship Men Blrvned

"What ha been our experienceheref I have several hundred ton ofresin in San Francisco and thia freightbns been here from the East for twomonth. I hold in my desk a definitewritten contract with a steamship com-pany, entered into before I ordered theresin. When the resin arrived whathappened t Steamer after steamer ofthat line left port, carrying freight atthe choicest rats eeeured by freightbrokers while freight contracted fordelivery is utterly ignored.

"It is useless to go to law bocausethe government would not permit usto. tie up a steamer pending litigation.

"We have had good here to go toJapan since August 10, under contractwith another steamship line not theToyo Kisen Kalsha. That does us hogood. The Japanese purchasers havenow refused to take the goods.

"There is no such condition and nosuch congestion at Seattle, and no suchmethods among the steamship men.The business men in Seattle pull to-

gether and would not tolerate it.Business Diverted

"The Kxporters' and Importer' As-

sociation is forming to correct such astate of affairs, if it i ossible. Itmay be ablo to do something. If not,you may rest assured that the import-ers and exporter will favor Seattle,much a they would rather do businessthrough here. I suppose that at leasteight out of ten of these men are al-

ready preparing, to switch their busi-ness north, if they have not alreadydone so.

"There are steamship men in SunFrnncisco who live up to their con-

tracts, particularly the Pacific Mailmid the Toyo Kisen Kaisha. Thereare others who do not, and their at-

titude hurts San Francisco,"Our people have been practically

boycotted in certain circles hereI have made statement like

those among shipping men, but thatdoes us no injury as long as we arehandling everything through Seattle.

"The jam of cars in the terminalshere is not so much to be laid at thedoors of the railroads as with some ofthe steamship people. By the system,in vouue, cars are delivered to the Stat'Kelt Line at the command of the docksuperintendents. I know of instancewhere money ha been paid by ship-pers to got their cars out of the jamand their goods into the holds of thesteamers.Trelcht Tied Up

"Our position is thut we have 2800ton of freight tied up in Snn Frsn-rise-

which ha been accumulating forthe past there month. We broughtit here on steamship contract to load,prior to making the purchase of thegoods. There are more than 100 localexporters in the same fix, with vary-ing amounts of freight.

" Do vou blame u for going else-where f What els can we dot We arenot point out of business, and if wecannot get service here we will haveto do business where we can. SanFrancisco is losing its business; It islosing the ndvnnt.nge of emploving hun-dreds of freight handlers. The systemis wrong."

Mobilization forms the bulk of dis-cussion at the national guard armory,and the rumor among them la stronglyInterpretative of a rumor that theywill be called to active Service inJanuary. Guard officials, includingGeneral Johnson, say they have no di-rect information that the mobilizationwill be ordered then, but the rnmoris Insistent and none is able to traceits aourre.'The 4n!k of mobilization, however, is

ROBERTSON DEIS"

HIipBBERYResignation of Chief Justice and

His Statements Regarding" .'

It Cause Discussion

Chief Justice A. TJ. W. Robertson 'resignation and frank statement hehas made disapproving of the pplieyfollowed by the Washington admtnia-tratlq- n

In making judicial Appointmentwere topic that engaged the interestof tb legal fraternity in Honolulu yes-terday, but no steps bad been takenlast night by political bodies or by thebar association to aet in the matter ofnominating a uceeseor, though it is ex-

pected that the new appointment willbe announced from Washington withinthe next two weeks.' '

In forwarding his resignation to Pres-ident Wilson Monday afternoon JudgoRobertson asked to have; it take effectby December 30. It waa suggested thatpress of war work at Washington orother matter might cause the appoint-nent to be delayed so that a successorcould not be named in the time fixed iJudge' Robertson's resignation. AskedIf he would eontinae to serve in theevent of snch a delay, Judge Robertsonanswered, "I auppne eo," but he ex-pressed the belief that a ueeorwould be named before the month 1

over. '

Ctntlcisea ReportIn speaking of matters in connection

with his resignation last night JudgeRobertson criticized a 'purported re-port of statementa he had made, pub-lished In the afternoon newspaper. Hedeclared that a wrong Impression hadbeen given In the report.

An Important factor that led to hisactioa he said was the present admin-istration's policy of making judicial ap-pointments. "Time, was," his state-ment nvs, "when a judicial positionIn this Territory, especially one on theupreme' bench, could properly be re-

garded as a high honor, but that timeceased when judicial appointment weredragged . ipto politic. The ahabbytreatment which the administration ac-corded Judge Dole etanl a a warningto all that no appreciation or gratitudeneed be expected for even life-lon- ser-

vice and devotion to the public good."Judge Robertson particularly criti-

cised the manner in which the reportof hla statement had been presented tothe public. A heading stated the chiefjustice In resigning "hinted at politi-cal jobbery."Did No Hinting

"The headline to the article in ques-tion,," Judge Robertson aaid in a writ-ten statement, "is entirely misleading.I hinted at no political jobbery or job-bery of any kind. I had fn mind onlyfacts of common knowledge. Those arethat the judges' terms are' sliort Kinlyfour years, and the chances are. .asJndge Perry, DeBolt, Cooper and Par-sons, as well a Judge Dple,'ean verify,that unless one la in aecord with thenational administration, he will nqt bereappointed, however, satisfactory hiwork on the bench mav have been. Theinstance of the reappointment of JudgeWhitney and myself are exceptionwhich merely prove the rule.

"The existing condition .withto judicial appointment are per-

fectly well understood. There is noneed of 'hinting' at anything, muchles at 'jobhery. '

'One thing the Star-Bolleti- n neg-lected to say was that I have enioyedmy experience on the bench very muchand greatly regret that circumstancehave arisen which make ft advisablefor me to resign at thi time."To Resume Practise

Judge Robertson' disapproval of theadministration's policy is but a singlefactor entering into the reasons for hisaction. He stated thnt "a combinationof circumstances" led hint to quit thebench, but he was unwilling to go intoany other reasons than those he spokeof. He said that it is his intentionto return to private practise, but hewas not willing to make public any-

thing in thi connection now or tostate what new affiliation lie might beconsidering.

In political circles a question iswhether or not Judge Robertson's suc-

cessor will be a Democrat.. AssociateJustice James L. Coke is said to be inline for the vacancv created, as wellss Associate Justice R. P. Queries, andCircuit Judge Clarence W. Ashford'sname has been mentioned.

Former Pnited Statos Judge CharlesP. demons, who ha also been men-

tioned as a possible successor, has stat-ed that it is impossible for him to con-

sider permitting his name to be men-

tioned.Concerning Judge Robertson's future

activities, it ha been urged that hewould he the logical man to fill a placeon the board of trustee for the Bishopestate, a position over wheh therehas been some conflict of opinion In

court. Delegate Kuhio had been sug-

gested n a trustee, but a he is ohligedto be in Washington so much of thetime, it i rontfindnl by spme that aomeother should be named. '

Chief Thurston and Five of His" t: Men Injured In Fire At

Union Bakery

Three firemen were badly burnedand three others, one of whom 1 ChiefCharles H. Thurton, alightly burnedInst night when a fire which did damageamounting to approximately $1,100broke out at the 1'nion Bakery, locatedirt the Wolters Block on Union Street,shortly before six o'clock.

Th injured are:; CBpt. John Franco, Mclnerny Tract,sever burns about t lie face and hands;confined to home.

Capt. Dovid Makal, Spencer Street,severe burns about the face, arms andhands; eonflneil to home.

Driver. George l'Uu, Kukul Street,severe burns about the fare, shouldersand hand; eonlmrd to home.

Chief Charles II. Ttfurston, EmmaStreet, scalded foot; confined to home.

Hoseman Oscar Green, Cook Street,right aide of face scorched and slightburns on bands; able to remain onduty.

Hoseman ZaekcTy Naone, Central Sta-tion, alightly burned on arms andhands; able to remain on duty.

All of the men, with the exception ofChief Thurston, were treated by Dr.R. G. Ayer at the emergency hospital.Chlei Thurston received first aid freat-ihen- t

at the central station and wasthen taken home.

The Are started in the concrete fur-nace room at the rear of the UnionBakery, and although the building it-self ws not damaged, the electric mo-tor, the burner and the water, gas andelectrie light pipe were completelydestroyed in the blaze. The loss, ac-cording to Anton Stange, proprietor, isin the viclnify nf $1,100. The propertywas not covered by insurance.

It has been customary to pse crudeoil In the furnace, but the eeareity ofthis commodity forced Mr. Stange yes-terday to resort to the use of keroseneoil. The men went to work aa usuallast night, but the oil refused to flowand it was while Mr. Stange waa en-deavoring to adjut matter that thablase ihot put. '

A quantity of kerosene oil was onthe floor of the room at the time, andaa this Ignited and the flames spread,the alarm was turned In to th fire sta-tion. The central station chemical en-gine, No. 1, engine company and No.i engine company turned out, but itwaa found impossible to use water onthe fire.

The firemen worked on the bla. e Inan' endeavor to save aa much a possi-ble, and the chemical engine was theaput into action. It took a little more4haa half an honr to beat down thefire, and it was during that time thefiremen were injured. ..4 ,

Mr.: Stange said last night that thelnsa would not put his business out ofcommission and that his customerscould couat on receiving their breadand pastry as nsual.

IS FORMALLY mADE

Affidavits in the hands of the policedetectives concerning some of themovements and apparel worn by DavidC. Buick, together with other circum-tnnc- e

which caused them to believethat Buick waa tha person who shotand otherwise assaulted W. O. Ito,driver of an auto at Bed Hill twoweeka ago, resulted in a formal chargebeing lodged against him yesterday,the charge being that be eommittedan assault with Intent to murder, maimor disfigure.

The police will bring Buick beforeJudgo Irwin today and will probablyask, in raso his attorney aska tha ballbo set, that the amount be large. 'Thecrime which Buick is charged withprovides for a fine, in case of convic-tion, of not exceeding one thousanddollars or imprisonment at hard laborof not more than. live years.

The detective department, under Cap-tain McDuftie, haa worked continuouslyon the case, and ita members believethey hove woven a chain of circum-stances about the prisoner, and thatany effort to prove au alibi against thisbarrier will be difficult.

At the time Buick was captured bythe' puliee he wore a hat and did notpossess' a revolver. ' The police ' saythey havo affidavits from a number ofpeople that' he was prone to wear acap, but tbia cap has not been fmin.lsince the aasault, and was not at hisroom or places he frequented. Furth-ermore, the police have located a num-ber' of cartridge 'for a revolver, theformer having been in the possessionof Buick not long before the assault.

During the Jatter part of NovemberBuick is ullegnd to havo had a revolverwhich ho showed to a number of peoplein a public place, being unable at thetime to get it togother after he hadtaken it apart.

There are a number of other Inter-esting pieces of circumstantial evi-dence having to do with revolvers andmovements which the police have accu-mulated and substantiated by affidavits.

Compensation Act : --

Constitutional

Says Supreme CourtasansakasBBMSS

Ruling of Circuit Judge AshfordIs Overturned Higher Tribu-nal Following Legal Fight" OnValidity of 1917 Statute .

In a ruling of the supreme eourt writ-ten by Chief Jastica A. O. M. Robert-son, and handed down yesterday, theWorkmen' Compenation Act. passedby the 1917 legislstare Is held to beconstitutional. The decision follow alegal fight in the course of which themeasure was held to be unconstitutionalby Judge C. W. Ashford when the easews heard in eourt. .

The uit under which the act wastested was a damage suit filed InMarch of Inst year by Edgar T. Ander-son, a workman employed by the Ha-waiian Dredging Company. He sufferederion injuries in a fall from a aeaffoli

while at work on a steel scow and hesued the eompany for JO,fM)0.

When ihe ease was presented In thecircuit eourt the dredging company,through It attorneys, offered a de-murrer, contending that any claim An-derson held fqr injuries received camewithin the scope of the .Workmen'sCompensation Act. The demurrer waoverruled wdth leave to answer, arid aninterloeqfory bill of exceptions waa cer-tified to the supreme court.

The long ruling of the eourt is mostcomprehensive and question railed inconnection with the 'proceedings aredeftlth with in detail. Under th termof the ruling the ease i reminded tothe circuit eourt with instructions tovacate the order given there and sus-

tain th demurrer.The decision states that 7

"The right of the legislature to estab-lis- h

a new 'system based upon the theorypnderlying workmen's compensationaets doe not necessarily depend uponwhether the employe was engaged in' haxurdous' or extra 'batardous' em-

ployment, or on whether he ia a skilledor unskilled workman, or upon the mak-ing of any such 'classifications. Theact fn which classifications have beenmade have not been sustained becauseof them, but in spite of them. Nor doesthe legislative power depend on the In-

clusion of a provision for a govern-mental compensation fund to which allemployers shall contribute.' In ourview the theory of the statute of thisTerritory that each employer, shouldprovide for the compensation of the em-

ployes injured in his own employ isevery whit ns reasonable aa that of theCalifornia act. Its natural ; tendencywould be to cause greater care and, bet-ter management on the'

"part of employ-

ers of labor." '

A footnote on the steamer bill offare says that smaller portions willhereafter be served ta patrons, thatthere may be no waste caused by a pas-senger being served with more than herequires of a single item, although addi-tional portions ' may be had npon re-

which was addressed to Mr. MeClellanbefore he left the Islands en rout toWashington, elaborated on trnvel statistics between San Francisco aod Ho-

nolulu. The data showed thatrealised, locally, that tonnage was being taken out of the Pacific for goodand sufficient war reasons,, but at thasame time mainland people atill plannedto apend their vacations away fromhome and, being unable to come to Ha-waii because of the disturbance ofsteamer conditions, wr4 now travelingto Florida and other competitive points.The committee said, also, that manyforeign steamers were passing throughHonolulu, to and from the Coast, witha. rommodntious for passengers, but un-

filed from here. Hevrral steamers werementioned as traveling with light listsof passengers and large passeuger .ac-commodations untakeu, as for instance,the Hiberin Maru with room for eightyadditional persons; Nipou Maru, sixty-six- ;

Venezuela, seventy nine; Colombia,fifty six; Niagara, one hundred eight.The total of these untakeu accommoda-tions indicated that about 5110 persouscould have beeu accommodated out. ofhere, cant bound, and 400, westbound.Six Month Permits - ,

It waa even suggested thatthe CanadianrAnstralian liners be giv-en coastwise permits to call at Seattleon both the Inward aad outward boundvoyages to land and take on passengersat mainland domestic port. ...

Mr: Berndt said that within the hourMr.. Avery had told him thnt unless ac-

tion takeni' by the shipping board wasfavorable Mo the suggestion for per- -

mits for longer periods, his companycould ' not, very .well engage In thecoastwise btiishess. If such favorableaction were taken it would be up to theT. K. K. and other foreign lines to re-

arrange their affairs to meet the privi-lege given under the permits. ;
