The conference, which; has beenunder way tdt Vbtht 'days, was re-

sumed ye6terday( morning withall concerned working in harmonytowards a settlement of the ques-tions at issue, those of wages andhours.

A complete agreement and thedefinite removal of the strikedanper had been practically an-

nounced and the final disruptioncame as a complete surprise.

The break came when the rail-r- r

ml men flatly refused to agreeto the suggestion of the trainmento put the eight hour wage scaleinto effect immediately after thefirst of the year, at the same timeputting the A dam son Law intooperation without waiting for theresult of the test of its constitu-

tionality, now on in the SupremeCourt.

The leaders of the unions de-

clared that in view of all the cir-

cumstances the members of theI ictherhoods are entitled to drawtl:e benefits and wage increases, lovided by the kill from the firstof January, or so soon as the lawbecomes effective, regardless of

tne finding of the Supreme Courtas to the constitutionality of theact.

RAILROADERS OBJECTRepresentatives of the railroads

however, strenuously objected toany such move. They assertedthat in all fairness to both sides,the brotherhoods and the roadsthemselves should await the ile-- 1

cision of the nation's highest tri-

bunal.They also suggested that should

the Supreme Court decide in fav-

or of the law that the controversybetween the railroads and theiremployes be settled upon thesame basis that was used in theaward to the switchmen's union.That union was given an increaseon a compromise basis.

.The tenseness of the situation is oneof the features that is becoming moreand more apparent. One insider, closeto the White House, yesterday declaredthat Mr. Wilson is fully aware thatshould the negotiations for peace nowfall through and come to nothing, theI'nited States has much to dread fromthe development of a submarine warfare by the Teutonic Powers, which"otild be more ruthless than anythingthey have heretofore attempted. Oth-ers have confirmed this view and de-clared that the failure of the negotia-tions would undoubtedly mean aerionsdifficulties for the I'nited States.Teuton Eeplies Here

Austria's reply to the President 'anote asking for terms has been receivedat the state department and transmittedto the White House at once. No hintof. its contents was given oat by thestate department officials, bat it is un-

derstood that it is practically identicalto the note from Berlin. The Berlinnote also arrived and was transmittedto the President. It was declared thatAmbassador Gerard sent au confiden-tial communication with the note.

That Germany has an intention ofmaking President Wilson th mediumfor tentative discussion of peace nego-tiations is understood incircles here. It became known anilwidely commented upon, that Germanywill not permit the road to peace ne-

gotiations to be blocked by a refusalof the Entente Allies to enter into aconference without a prior knowledgeof her terma.

In the diplomatic maneuvering whichhas arisen, Germany is planning to sohandle her points as to secure a roadto the negotiations over the refusal ofthe Entente Powers tu move until theTeutons have given some concrete evi-

dence of what they are prepared to dotoward bringing an eud to tho war aiUjusting International relation.

It had been forecast that the Kntentegroup would base a refusal on the factthat the German proposals are toovague to receive consideration.May Dlacloa Terms

The Teutons, it is understood, arewilling to permit a confidential ex-change .of broad, tentative termsthrough President Wilson if necessaryto bridge the gap which now threatensto prevent the assemblage of peace de-

Germany 'a reply to the WUaon notehas rot yet been received there, thoughit was made putilie in Merlin. Despitethe disappointment because Germanytins rot acceded to the President 'a suggestion and outlined her terms forpence, the general view prevails thatanother step forward has been madetowi rd the end of war.

Germany is taking active stops topromote a pence conference.

A despatch from The Hague saidthat German agenta have already ar-rived there to arrange the preliminariesof a meeting of German delegates, tobe sent to the proposed peace conference. I he scents are seeking accommodations at the hotels, and say thattheir government is preparing to sendits representatives.

Evening papers criticize PreaidentWilson, aoine of them in drastic terma,for hia move in sounding the belliger-ents to get a statement as to the d

each side makes and aa to thopossibility of' bringing peace discusFiona.

The papers generally characterizeGermany 'a reply to the Cnited States,as given to Ambassador Gerard yeaterday. as an eagerness to end the war.

The Standard says that "it ia a mia-tak-

to neglect German peaee maneu-vers, but it would be. even more fatalto waste any time over them."

The Star declares: "Germany isworking the Wilson note for all it isworth, trying to make peace by wire-- ,

' 'less.The Pall Mall (ia.ette says: "Ger-

many is not slow to aeir.e the advan-tages given by Wilson's maladroitdiplomacy. The Allies will not hold adiscussion with an unpunished criminalor with a Power to which the most soleipn engagements arc mere scraps ofpuper.

"The most dignified course now, asregards the Wilson note, would be itsfrank withdrawal."

The Paris Temps, one of the mostinfluential of all the daily papers ofthe Trench capital, in commenting uponthe reply sent by Germany to the notefrom President Wilson declared that"Germany desires a peace which wouldtear from her enemies by a ruse, whatshe is unable to gain by force of arms."

T. B. Thiele Suggests ClearingHouse To Handle Matter of

Accommodation For Visitors

The situation a regards accommoda-tions for tourists in Honolulu wai dis-

cussed yesterday afternoon at a meet-

ing of the promotion committee andthe managers of aeveral of the hotelsof the city, and the conclusion wasarrived at that, although for a fewdays during the Carnival, the situationwill be somewhat tense, yet there Willbe accommodations for all who cometo Hnwaii.

The hotel managers who attendedthe meeting included T. B. Thiele of theAleiender Young Hotel, J. Y. Child ofthe Blaisdell, Nelson Ware of Hale Kai,Miss Mary Johnson of the Colonial andE. (i. Duisenbefg of the Pleasanton.

The matter of the many applicationsbeing received by letter and eable fotreservations at the hotels was thorough-ly discussed and the conclusion was ar-

rived at that it is Impracticable toguarantee definite accommodations dur-ing the period of from January IS tothe end of the Carnival season.

Tho hotel managers expressed theopinion, however, that although specialaccommodations cannot be reserved forthat period, tourist desiring to comehere will he able to find other accommo-dations and there is no reason for anybody staying nwuv on that account.Suggest Clearing House

jMr. Thiele ami Mr. Dnisenberg d

the idea of a clearing house to.handle the mutter of accommodationsfor visitors. It was decided that thesuggestion was a good one and thatthe promotion committee would be ac-ceptable to act as such a clearing bouse.The secretary of the promotion commit-tee was instructed to devise ways andmeans for working out the idea.

This fits in easily with work the pro-motion committee is already planning,that of taking a census next month ofall available accommodations in privatehomes and elsewhere for tourists. Thecommittee will soon ask residents of thecity who have rooms that can be used tolist them with the committee, as wasdone last year.Boom Hare In Plenty

The promotion committee, at the conclueion of the meeting, sent a messageto Kan Francisco office to the effect thatbecause the impression had gone outthat the Waikiki beach hotela could qotsupply specific accommodations was noreason why tourists could not be givenuceommodutions elsewhere. The banFrancisco office was instructed to circul-arize all the transportation companies,east and west, and to try to preventthe cancellation of any steamship book-ings for Hawaii.

Wl COFFEE

Announcement of President'siPlan To Impose Duty Brings

Joy Here

Coffee men of Hawaii were jubilantyesterday over the announcement fromWashington that the President ia expected to urge the imposition of a dutyon coffee as part of his program formaking up the 370,0()O,OOO deficit withwhich the national government isfaced.

This is something for which thecofTee growers of the Territory had al-

most ceased to hope. Had a Republi-can president been elected, they mighthave had reason to expect a move ofthis kind, but that Democratic ad-

ministration would come to their reliefteemed more than improbable.

Of course the placing of a duty oncofTee will not be for the purpose ofaiding Hawaiian coffee growers. Thatit will do so la merely' incidental, butit ta none the less satisfactory.

For many years the coffee men oftbia Territory, particularly Abe Louisson of Hawaii, have Wen working toinduce congress to come to their assis-tance, but hitherto withoat avail. Ifthings tout their way now, as it seemsprobable they will, it is expected thatS great impetus will be given to coffeegrowing in Hawaii.

Jf. W. McCheaney, coffee dealer ofthis city, said yesterday that be wasgreatly surprised by the announcement,as the coffee men of Hawaii had prac-tically given ap nope of having theduty restored. It would hurt ratherthan help him, he said, as he is a deal-er, not a grower, but he expressed thebelief that it would be a great help tothe Territory.

txports of coffee from Hawaii, hesaid, now amount to about $500,000 ayear, most of the coffee now going tothe Philippines. But the bulk of thecoffee grown in the Territory ia consumed here, largely by the army.

Widow Learns of,Husband's Death

After His 'Burial

Alexandrine Freitas, a Portuguesegirl who married Joaquin Salvador, aFilipino, last year, learned yesterdayafternoon aot only that her husbandwas dead, but that he had been buriedia I.oeh View Cemetery in Pearl City.

According to the story told by thewidow to board of health officials yes-terday, she called at The Queen's Hos-pital on Wednesday evening to visither husband, who was there undertreatment. She called there againyesterday, only to be told thathe was dead. She asked to see hisbody and was told thnt it had beenremoved by the undertaker.

Mrs. Salvador then went to thehealth officials, believing that the bodywaa at the morgue. She was informedthat it bad already been buried. Ittook considerable effort on the purt ofthe officials to convince her of thisfact.

This, it was related yesterday, to notthe first occurrence of its kind and thehealth officials will probably makeefforts to nee that it does not occuragain and that widows and relativesmay be able to see their loved onesbefore they are consigned to theirgraves.

The proposals are ns follows:F.inpioyes receiving salaries of less

tlinn $1000 per annum, an increaseof 33 13 per cent, provided thnt noemploye shall receive compensationat a rnte of less than fji.l per day ifpaid by the dny, $90 a month if paidby the month, or ilOHO n year if midby the year.

Kmployes receiving salaries of$2000 or more, but less than $2500 perannum, an increase of 20 per cent.

Kmployes receiving salaries of 12500or more, 10 per cent.Many Would Benefit

Should the plan be accepted by con-gress without any reservation thePresident, Cabinet officers and nntionnllegislators would be included in theclass to receive a 10 per cent increase.The labor committees, however, whilemeaning to overlook no one, will con-fine their efforts chiefly to procuringincreases in the lower paid grades.

The young person in question werethose mentioned in The Advertiser yes-terday. They had loved too well andthe girl had forsaken the family roofto follow the gay Lothario.

The boy was committed to the indus-trial school ut Waialee, this island, fortwo years, while the girl was sent toI he Moiliili Industrial School until shebecomes of age. The young man offered yesterday to marry his sweet-heart, but, all things considered, thiswas bevond

m STRIKES

RICH ORE BODY

L E. Paxton Is CongratulatedBy Local Brokers On

Success

The strike of a rich body of ore inthe 'mine of the Fngels Copper Com-

pany, owned largely in Honolulu, was.reported yesterdny in a message toBishop A Co., agents for the company,from K. K. Paxton, manager of theproperty. The message read:

"Struck the or in tunnel six, onethousand fee from shaft, Indicating anenormous hody. Railroad grade com-pleted to mine and track laid to Cre-scent Mills. Superior development s

good. Heavy storm, hut oper-ating tl. K. New mill machinery or-dered. Notifv brokers. Happy NewYear. K. K. Paxton."

The new wa received with irrntifi-calio-

on the street, aa the public baabeen dealing heavily In EngeU andpiecing considerable confidence in itstrength. The price for the stock roserapidly yeeterdar from 4..15 to V10,and closed at 3.00 bid and .V10 askedwith 54(1 shares exchanged during theday. Members of the stock exchangejoined in senfling a message of con-gratulation to Mr. Paxton and wishesfor the new year and continued suc-cess.

Tunnel nufnber six is 350 feet lowerthan tunnel number four, the next levolin the Kngels group. The strike of an orebody at this point was unanticipated,as it was expected that the tunnelwould have to be driven several hun-dred feet nearer the vertical line ofthe shaft. Diamond drillings made outin the opposite direction from the shaft.hsve also disclosed ore 185 feet beyondthe shaft, giving at least 1200 feet ofore with a elope to tunnel number fourof 350 feet

The reference in the message of con-tinued development in the adjoiningSuperior group is indication of the ex-

tent of ore bodies in this district. Theordering of the new mill .machinery isexpected ti toe followed by early instal-lation. The construction of the rail-road to the mine which will join Jo theWestern Pacific is also reporter! mak-ing rapid progress.

TO BE FORMED HERE

Another mining company is to be fi

nanced from Honolulu according tomide yesterday nf'the

plans for incorporating the MaderaGol4,.Miping Company, Ltd. The company will be incorporated in the Territory-- and will he controlled here. Theorganizers will issue a prospectus withtn a rew days.

The company will be capitalized at$1,000,000 with shares at one dollar. Ofthe one million shares, three hundredthousand will go to the organizers ofthe company, L'00,000 will be reservedaa treasury stock and the balance willbe offered to subscribers in the Islandsat twenty-fiv- e cent a share, fully paid.

i ne incorporator of the companywill be Robert W. Shingle, J. HarrisHaekenaie, Clarence H. Olaon, A. W.Coppa and Jorgen Jorgensen. Thesewitn v. w. ttbnnka of San Franciscowill be directors. It i understood thatMr. Shingle will be president and Mr.Mackenzie, secretary.

The property to be held by the company is located at Grub Uulch, Cnlifornia, fourteen mile from Ruvmond onthe main highway between Madera andYosemite Valley. It consists of twomines which have already been developed, the t) am bet t a and the Josephine,containing 24.1 acres of which 2.111.5 arepatented. About l,000,0fl0 in gold hasalready boen taken from these mines.

An option has been secured on thisproperty for $00,000 of which $.r000will be paid next August and the bal-ance will be due in two payments in1018 and 1910. Another $(i0,(MI0 willbe paid for the mill. The present millha a capacity of fifty tons but it isproposed to ele.-trif- y, discard the useof steam and iucrease the mill capacityby a new one hundred ton mill.

T.e prospectus of the company statesthat the nature of the formation isgranite and slate, the vein system oc-

curring in the eontact of the two, whati commonly kn.iwtf as contact fissures.

The ore is aaid to run from ten tofifteen dollar a ton. Walter H. Par-son ia to be superintendent and engi-neer in charge. Jorgen Jorgensen isone of the three mining engineers toexamine and approve the property.

T

AGAINST UGLY STORE

There ia considerable criticism overthe fact that a number of smull, cheaptore are being erected in the residence

sections of the city. There would be noserious objection to these, stores if thearchitecture wa designed to harinouiza to a rertain extent with the generalcharacter of the neighborhood.

This problem has been thrashed out ininanv of the nminliind cities with theresu'-- t that the store in some of theresidence sections are n district assetrather thsu a detriment to the neigh-borhood.

At present there is marked objectionhi'lug voiced to the unsightly storethat ha been erected on the corner ofLiboliho Street and Wilder Avenue.This is one of the beauty spots of thecity and a store that makes no pre-tentions to conforming to the estheticcharacter of the neighborhood is a dis-tinctly objectionable fcatuic.

The stormy weather bf the' past weekhas made photographic work at thoVolcano an impossibility, and evencomparatively close observation a mat-ter of difficulty.

The week has, however, bee a one ofstirring interest, for the Java lake ofHalen aumsn ha resumed its vigorousrising, and rock-slid- from the easternwall have mnde the lower bench overhanging the lake, accessible with care-ful climbing. A descent was made tothis bench on the twentieth inst. by asmall party of enthusiasts, and the return lo the run of the pit wa accom-plished in snfety.

The main rriig-mns- alluded tn inprevious reports, has again risen withthe rplift of the lake, and it summitis now only fortv-on- feet below theupper rim of the pit. The height ofthis mass of rock above the level ofthe hike, is now seventy-seve- feet,whil-- t the south island is now fifty feethigh and the east bench sixty two feet.

The entire lake, during the past sev-en days, has risen twenty-on- e feet, arise of three feet per day, There hasbeen hut little change in the generalconfiguration, and the lake has beenalternately rising and sinking aa usual,the Kinking spells being again accom-panied by furious outbursts of foua-tninin-

Remarkable DisplayA very remarkable display took place

in the west wnll pond on the night ofDecember This pond had been heav-ily crusted over for several days, andthere hail lieen no siga of action. Atnin"fif teen on the night mentioned,the whole surface of the pond brokeup .vith startling suddenness and be-came a liquid pool, furiously fountaining with literally hundreds of bubblefountains, which continued to play forfully ten minutes.

At the north end of this pool a cavernnnd driblet roue could be seen. Thenature of this sudden activity broughthack to memory the violent activity efthe summer of 1UIJ, when the lake wasperhaps even mon spectacular than atpresent.

The average number of large foun-tains have been in action during theweek, and a conspicuous feature habeen the presence of burning gasesfluring from many cones, crack andfissures. One chimney in particular,high up on the south face nf the cragmass, and at least forty feet above tholake, has been a source of great Inter-est to visitors. As seen from the south-west station, jt showed a flame leap-ing from a crack in a projecting corn-ice, jetting out horizontally against adark background of rliflf, and formingan ideal subject forwork.

The great spatter domes, to whichreference wus made last week, are nowhung with splendid stalactite curtainson the lake side, showing usually anopen vertical slit in the middle. Twotunnels have formed iii the peninsulawest of the south island, and throughthese the luva hus been steadily pourirg southward, (ins pressure continuesexceedingly heavy and loud puffingsounds are constantly heurd. Over-flowing of the ramparts has been constantly taking place, and in some casesthe oversplushing has been so heavythut floods of luva have rushed downthe outer side of the bank.Small Earthquakes

TO SUPPORT OF WILSON

(Associated Prose by Federal WlrMeee)

WASHINGTON'. Decemberof the

neutral nation rallying to thesupiwvrt of President Wilson'sproposal for a formal announce-ment of the terms upon whichthey will accept peace by the bel-

ligerent powers, (iermany came toi lie front yesterday with the stillmore sensational proposal of animmediate peace conference in aneffort to obtain a cessation of thehostilities which have raged foralmost thirty months and haveengulfed practically one-hal- f ontlie population of the world inihe whirlpool of 'war.

The (iernian proposal is madein the answer to President Wil-

son's note, the answer being giventhrough diplomatic channels, andat the same time made public bythe (icrman government.

The answer is the joint reply of(iermany. Austria, Bulgaria andTurkey, the notes of the latterthree being contained in the Ger-

man statement.Wants Meeting At Once

THRUSTS OF FOES

(AmocUUS Press y Federal Wlroleos.)NEW YOBK, December 27 The

eenter of the war's activity continuesIn Rumania, where the Hermans andtheir Bulgarian allies are still forgingforward with hut slightly slackenedspeed ns the Humanian and Russianforces fall bnck to the north and north-east.

In Wallnchia and along the southernMoldavian frontier, where that districtJoins the Dohrudja district, the lightingha been heavy over Christmas, and inspite of the fierce resistance of the

troops the Teutons report thatthey have taken the city of f'ilipechi,with five thousand prisoners, from theRussians.

The German general staff Christmasnight announced the rapture of thelwn of laakisbe, after which the Her-mans under von Mac ken sen imuiedi-ntel-

began the attack on the bridgeheud at Matcvhln, which would givethem a passage over the Danube.

The Berlin reports of that night alsotell of The repniee of the Russians andthe capture of an Important height nenrRur.earimnlk, where the Hlnv and Ru-

manians gave ground only after themost desperate fighting at the point ofthe bayonet.

There was but little fighting on thewestern front Christmas day, the menon both sidos feasting and entertainingfor the most part, although the artil-lery Of the Allied and Oermnn armieekept up an intermittent fire.

The Russian reports claim thnt theSlavs inflicted heavy losses upon theTeutons who attempted the recaptureof a height in the Carpathian moun-tains and the British announced theadvance of their forces in Mesopotamia,southeast of Kutl Amara. There theyassert that, they have taken fort fromthe Turks, and on the bank of theTigris have made additional gains.

Following up its victory against theTurks in the capture of El Arish, 00miles east of the canal, the British inEgypt have eaptured the strong Turk-ish position of Maghdadah, twentymiles southeast of El Arish. They eap-tured eleven hundred Turks and tribesmen here and a considerable quantityof munitions.

Berlin reports thnt two Allied patrolbo'i'ts were sunk and four Allied erhips were tlamsgod in an engagemen'

today in the M rails of Otranto. TwoAustrian destroyers were hit.

The Straits of Otrnnto lie betweenItitly and Albania, at the entrance tothe Adriatic Nea. Most of Hie vesselsin the Allied fleet which cruise hereare Italian. The Austrian maintain afleet in th Adriatic with a base atPola.

pnblished reporta of an interview m'vento a London journal correspondent ntretrogroa by the Buesian Foreign Min-ister M. PnkrovsM, is Indicative of thatuttltudo. The Russian cahinet officialsaid that Russia will stsnd by the Allies.He outlined the situaflon as it hasdeveloped, saying that there will be nochange in the relations between Russiaand the other members of the Kntentccrroup. He asserted thnt after the warthe military alliance between Franre.Britain and Russia will be consolidatedinto a close economic, union, and sayfthat the present war will be rostinueduntil a decisive victory is won.Clergy Indignant

The clergy of Iondon are iu fullaccord with the press of the nation instrong disnpprovi.1 of President Wi-lson's action ia sendiug a uote simul-taneously to the various warring andneutral powers of Europe urging an at-tempt on their part to arrive at a basir-fo- r

peace negotiations.Strong words were used bv promi

nent clergymen of London in theirChristmas Day sermons regarding Mr.Wilson and his latest note. Thnt hehas spoiled good intentions by a trngicmistake, that he wns either crazy whenhe sent the note, or callously indiffer-ent to the rights and wrongs of theterrible struggle that is drenchingKnrope with blood, were some of theopinions expressed.

"President Wilson hns marred Ills(food intentions by a most tragic, mi-stake," said Rev. 0. Campbell M organ,rector of Westminr'sr Chapel, in hisChristmas address. "He has declinedto express any opinion as to the moralissues Involved iu the great struggle inwhich Crcat Britain and her allies arcinvolved. He wants pence to be declared without the wrongs beiug righten on account or which we are fight-ing. He would make vain the sac ri lino,of nil the men wjio hae died since thwar began."President Scored

Right Itewrehd Herbert IM wardRyle, dean of Westminster, preachingin Westminster Abbey, declared thutPresident Wilson either sent the wrongnote in a lit of mental abberation, othat he entirely misapprehended theKiirnpran situation.

"President Wilson," snid the dean"knows all the details of the organizedatrocities of which the Teutonic alliesiave been guilty Mnee the war started.He knows of the kinking of the l.uai-tani-

without warning and the deathof 1103 innocent men. women and children, some of them citizens of the conntry of which Mr. Wilnou Is President.He knows all about the sinking withoutwarning of the Arabic when more inuoent non combatants, some of them

Americans, lost their lives."President Wilson knows of the mur-

sands of Belgians and French intoslavery by the Germans is known to Mr.Wilson. He knows all about (Iermany 'sconpivanee in the bloody massacre ofhelpless Armenians by (lermuny's allies,the Turks.

"Yet ia the opiuion of President Wil-son, the nations that are leagued todisarm this evil and demoniac nationalmilitarism have the same ends us theperpetrators of those historic crimes."

Sugar Refining Value Is

CUBAN CAN BE QUALIFIED

WITHOUT LOSS OF ECONOMY

Mills Are Seeking Methods of

Eliminating Objections of

Refiners

With the start of the grinding seaaon on the plantations there is notice-

able a new interest in the manufactureof a better quality of refining sugarthan in previous years.

Cuba with admittedly inefficient fac-

tories is sending to the refiners a gradeof raw sugar thnt meets their require-ments better than the local product.

It comes as a surprise to the sugarmea here to be handed a sample ofCuban sugar with the statement thatthat is what the refiners want.

The refineries, it seems, are designedto handle a raw sugar of about ninety- -

six polarisation. With the idea of oh- -

taining that grade of sugar the refinershave set a scale of prices bifsed on thepolarization which makes ninety six

gar the most profitable one to manu-facture. But aside from the polariza-tion, sugar has other qualities which ef-

fect their refining xnlue, such as tit-as-

content, and the size, regularityand hardness of the grain.Would Sacrifice ProSt

It is not a difficult mntter for thefactories to increase the poluriuition ofthe augar and thus improve the refiningvalue; but it would be ut a Kurrilice inprofit under the present buying arrange-ment.

One of the larger factories in the Isl-

ands, in former years, made n highgrade sugar ami received each year ahighly complimentary letter from therefiners, stating thnt their sugar hadsplendid refining qualities.

In later years when the practise ofthis factory was changed to one of mak-ia-

augar of approximately ninety sixpolarization the letters ceaned to come.

It is claimed by the man in chargeof this factory that the men do nottake the interest and consequently the j

pains in turning out a sugar of lowpolarization as they do when makingn high irrsde tro"Mev OUased As "ralr"

Oaring toe past ..r this factory'soutput was clasmd as fair by the refiners.

Jt is probable that s high polarizingsugar will be made there as ell us atmany other fuctories in the Islands thecoming season.

But it is the desire of the other fac-tories to improve the qualities of theirsugars without increasing the polariz-ation. In order to do that it is their i

tention to imurove on the Dan work asmuch as possible.

If genius is the capacity for takingpains, every sugar boiler ought to bea genius. There is probably no placein the manufacture of a guod sugar ,

where more cureful attention is needed'than at the proof stick.Cuban Boilers Arc Experts

It is stated that one reason for thesuperiority of Cuban sugar over thelocal product is that in Cuba speciallytrained men are employed whose dutiesare solely that of sugar boilers.

The practise, here of taking lowgrade ?ugar into the pan as a seed foot-ing for a commercial sugar strike isobjected to by the refiners on theground that it is not done ia Cuba.

Probably the majority of sugar meahere think that as good sugar can bemade on low grade seed as in any otherway, if the seed is of good quality.

On that poiut there seems to be somedifference of opinion: but it is probablethat more of the sinfarfrom low grade boilings will be melted

ad made over than in previous years;and only the seconds of sugar made inthe pans on a syrup footing will be usedfor seed.Ash Content a Problem

The ash content of sugar effects itsredoing value a great deal, but the perrentage of ash iu the sugur is somethingthat is more or less beyond the controlof the manufacturer.

A the ash is in the molasses sur-rounding the crystals of sugsr. thamount of ash in sugar can be loweredby washing it free of raolusses; but thntia objected to by those factories t butwant to continue making OH polnri.ntionagar. Ko" the ash is controlled by the

polarization of the sngar and the natureof the toil on which the caue was grown.

It is possible that the refiners willchange ia the purchasing of raw sugar,to til" purity basis, thus taking intoconsideration the ash, and not be d

by the polarization entirelyMore careful clarification and filtra-

tion of the juices will be another menusof improving the quulity of the Kiigsr.

Almost every chemist has probablynoticed ia dissolving the uoruiul weight,when polarizing a sample of mu 'ar thesurprising amount of sinnll particles ofbagasse to be seen flouting around inthe solution. These fine particles do

Factory Efficiency Figuresfe sua iaii. aa n. a,i ,, jm

Interesting tabulation of the efficiency f Hawaiian- - factories both ingauges of the work of mill and that f bt.illng houses are contained in theannual synopsis of mill data for 1016 c era pi led by R. ft. Morris, of the sngarplanters' experiment station, and reported at the annual meeting. Prefacingthe following table of percentage of brrlling house recovery, the report state:

"If the chemical control was accurate and there was no loss of sucrosein the boiling house, except ia the an-- . molasses, the result in the last col-umn shonld lie between ninety-nin- and one hundred. Results of 101 perrent or over strongly indicate error. 1 1 the chemical control. Results muchbelow ninety-nin- msy point to actual losses of sucrose in the factory. Inthe latter ease the chemical control sh mid first be carefully investigated, es-

pecially the weight of mixed juice, and if no large error are found, a searchshould be mhde for possible losses, such as estrainment from vacuum pans orevoporatnr. In-- few eases the figures in the last column Indicate a loss ofover two per rent, which may amoant to several tons of sugar a month. Onof the principal purpose of the chemical control is to detect losses, but itcannot do this effectively unless It is made accurate."

Concern Advertises Starting of

Pulp Factory In

Louisiana

I'tilization of bagasse for the manu-

facture of pulp and paper, now being

given earnest consideration by local.wgar planters, is being rapidly takenup in Louisiana, according to a copy ofan advertisement in the New YorkWorld of December 3.

Plans have progressed so far on themainland that a company hn been or-

ganized called the Hugar Cane By Prod-

uct Company, and stock is being d

for sale. Private advices on theconcern are that it is not a mere stock-sellin-

proposition, and that an attemptnt commercial production of bagassepulp and paper will be made. Theccmpuny claims to own patents, and itsmill is to be at New Iberia, Louisiana.The advertisement setting forth itsprospect offer stork for sale, andcads: "Send us your subscription by

December 11, 1910, if yon wish to se-

cure seventy five per cent bonus ofcommon stock free with your purchaseof seven per cent cumulative preferredstock is Hugnr Cane Ily Products Com-pon-

pnr value ten dollars. " Head-quarters of the concern are iu Suite 842Widrncr Building Philadelphia.

Bagasse itipir manufacture possibili-ties were fully reported to the Ha-- e

aiian Hugar Planters' Association attho unnuul meeting lt "... Kenton Hind,who strongly recommended the estab-lishment of such n plant here. Thenatter of securing cHUiiuite nnd com-mercial costs from un Lusteru firm onsamples of Hawaiian bagasse is now upto the association trustees.

The advertisement of the Louisianacompany reads as follows:

"The Sugar Cune Co.owns patents on processes for makingpaper pulp, alcohol, s celluloseand other valuable material out of'bugusse' (sugar cane refuse). It willcost us 0.50 including raw material,labor overhead, to., pfuduce- - materialsworth (32.50. on conservative estimate.This leaves an estimated net profit of$23.00 per ton of bagasse bundled. Ourfirst mill, which is on a 17 acre tractin New Iberia, Louisiana, will have an'ultimate cdpiriity pfTlOO forts daily, oran minimi earning auilify1 of $!H),(HM)

sufficient to pay seven per cent on ourcumulative preferred stock, ten percent on our common stock, and leaveenough money to build another mill ofsimilar cupaiity.

An ironiral feature of the situationis that some of the delinquent corpora-tion are out of business. They neg-lected, however, to disincorporate. Anda corporation, while the popular con-ception in that it ha no soul, doeahave a body when it cornea to payingfee and flues.

Harbor Board Can

Not Pay Visit

To Big Island Now

The harbor commission wants to visitthe island of .Hawaii before the legi-l- a

tiiri; meets, in order to learn w hut isneeded by that inland, and l able tomuke recommendations accordingly forappropriations by the legislature. Butthe board can't go, because Hawaii'sharbor board fund is expended. Ac-

cording to Commissioner C J. MeCur-th- y

there is only about $".50 left in thefund. 'This is not so ns regards the otherglands. There is sufficient of the ap-propriation for each left to pay thecommissioners' expenses. What is tobe done in th case of Hawaii is notknown. It is not legal to use any ofthe money appropriated for tho otherislands.

The. reason the Hawaii fund isit is stated, is the failure to ex-

tend the Hilo breukwnter, the contractfor which was let but became snarledup in legal entanglements and contrac-tors' lights, allowed the waves to washaway an expensive fill put in by theharbor commission with the expect. itionthat the break vntcr would be extend-ed. It cost between J.'I.OOO and000 to repair the fill.

The public utilities commission helda short session yesterday afternoon atwhich only a small amount of routinebusiness wag transacted. In the ahsence of Chairman C. R. Forbes, wholeft on the Great Northern yesterdayfor the mainland, Commissioner A. J.IlinouX presided.

11. Gooding Field, auditor of thecommission, presented a bill for elevendnys' attendance at meetings of thecommission at twenty-fiv- dollarsday a total af 25. The commission-ers present did not know what arrange-ment had been made by the chairmanin regard to paying Mr. Field for at-

tendance, so in Forbes' absence thebill was laid On th table.

The Inter-Islan- dividend state-ments and other figure asked. for atthe Inst meeting were not forthcoming,and it was stated that Matthew Gra-ham, auditor of the steamship company, had said in the morning that hewns not working oa them, as he hadnot been told to do so by the company'sofficials from whom he takes hia orders.As Attorney Warren at the last meetIng objected to furnishing some of theinformation requested, it is not knownwhat will be the result.

The board decided to hold anothermeeting at half-pas- t one o'clock Thurs-day afternoon, at which the Inter'Island matter will be resumed. Theattendance of (secretary Treasurer(ledge wns requested.

Commissioner Carden called atten-tion to the fact that the thirty-da- extension accorded the Oabu RapidTransit and Land Company to changeover its tracks on Kalakaua Avenue ex4ired yesterday. In view of the fact,however, that work is in progress onthat street, it was decided that no ac-

tion was, necessary at thia time.

SUGAR BEE! SEED

beet seed was grown commer-

cially in this country during the pastyear in several Stales from Michigante California. The crop of seed har-vested in l(l" was so satisfactory, ac-cording to the report of the chief ofthe bureau of plant industry of the de-partment, in each of the areas testedthat ft largely increased acreage was

tins year.This bureau has assisted in an advis

ory way in growing, selecting and silo-ing the roots, planting them in thespring, harvesting and cleaning theseed, and in general endeavoring toproduce the largest amount of commercial seed possible at a minimum cost.Approximately 5000 acres are in beetaeed in this country this year, while werequire the product of at least 10,000ncres for a normal planting, not con-sidering the natural expansion of thebeet sugar industry. Each new milwill require nn average of two hundredncres in seed to meet its planting requircments. (Seven new mills are inprocess of construction for this year.

The problem of drying the sugarbeets for the purpose of increasing theamount of raw material for the milland thereby increasing the length ofthe sugar rampnigu, has been furtherinvestigated. The principal difficultyhas been in finding or devising a dryerof suitable enpucity to handle enoughbeets per day to be profitable. A sat-isfactory solution of the problem willbe very beneficial in those small vallevs in the intermouutuin Htstes, wherethe acreage is not sufficient to supporta sugar mill, sad yet the sugar beet isnecessary to the .highest results in thefarming operations. 1' nited States De-partment of Agriculture Weekly NewiLetter.

ton In An Effort To InterestCongressmen and Officials

The Chinese Chamber of Commerceof Honolulu is sending W. H. Hindis.of the Mercantile Reference Agencyof thia eity, to Washington to inter- - ;

eat congressmen and officials In a plan '

to bring thirty thousand Chinese hereI

tc assist in working the rice fields ofthe Island.

N. B. Young, head of the referenceagency aays that Hindle ig not goingon any such m'ssion, but that FarmCornn, a well known local Chinese busi-ness man is going for the Chinese cham-ber.

Some weeks ago, when representa-tives of The Advertiser asked Mr. Hin-dle regarding a report to the effectthat he was going to Washington onsuch a mission he denied all knowledgeof such a plan.

The secretary of the Chinese body,in a statement to The Advertiser lustnight, insisted that the plan, whirh habeen under consideration for more thaia year, had been given to Mr. Hindleto work out in Washington and thatalthough Mr. Hindle has some personalbusiness at the national capital, he isgoing prir arily for the chamber ofcommerce, and that his expenses arebein defrayed by that organization.

The Chinese body here took the mat-ter np at the suggestion of C. K. Ai,manager of the City Mill, and I.ee Let,manager of the Yuen Chong Company.The,? were named as committee to ar-range with Hindle for the work inWashington.

When a party of congressmen visitedthe Islands Inst year, the committee ofthe Chinese Chamber of Commerce ofHonolulu, then tho I'nited Chinese So.eiety, laid before a number of the mem-bers of the party, including Mr. JohnI..

It is understood that Mr. Hindle willconfer with Namuel (lumpers and othersprominent in nnion labor circles inWnshingtou and on the Const, and

Guardsman "Fired"

From Service, For

Failing To Obey

A Court martial order has just beenreceived at headquarters Hawaiian de-

partment, which is of general interestbecause it announced the result of thetrial of one of the members Of the ns- -

tional guard regiment of New Mexicowho refused to present themselves formuster at the time of the mobilizationof the militia last June. The courtmartial was ordered July L'ti and was j

composed of five regular Army officers,'and eight officers of the New Mexicoguard.

There was a provision in the orderthat a majority of the . members mustalways be national guard officers. Tbisis the first report to be received ofany of the trials and was probably in '

the nature of a test case. The accusedin this case was I'vt. I."wis O. Gardner,Company B, First Infautry, New Mexi-co National Guard.

The churge is "failure to appear formuster for service, in violution of Mcc- - '

tion 7 of the Militiu Act."The specification states that Private

Oardner "having, as a member of suchmilitia, been called into the service of.he I'nited htates to defend the name

from further aggression from Mexico,!by order of the President dated May 9,1I !(!. transmitted through the OoNcmorof the MtBte of New Mexico, and beingby the terms of faid call and order re-

quired to appear at Columbus. NewMexico, on or about June 20, lull), formuster for service, did refuse und ng-lec- t

to present himself for such muHterfor service."

The court found the prisoner guiltyof the charge and seeiflcation and senfenced him, "l be dishoaornhly discharged from the service, forfeiting ajlpay and allowances due him, and to beconfined at bard labor at sach place asthe reviewing authority may direct forone ear.

The President, iu reviewing the c.use,approved the sentence but upon thert'commendr.cion of the secretary ofwnr remitted the conlineinrnt imposed.Private Oardner has therefore been ilishonorably discharged but will not suffer imprisonment

Mrs. Pcliza de la Cruz, after justtwenty-si- days' trial, decided yester-day tliut marriage is a failure whenshe filed in the local circuit court a suitfor divorce from her husband, l.ucio dela Crua.

The ouple were married in Honolu-lu on tlie lirst of the present month byRev. Father Victorious Claesen of theCatholic Cuthedrnl. L.ucio weighs aboutone hundred and forty pounds, while hisbride of less than a month tips thescales ut about ninety and is probablynot more than four feet tall.

Mis. Cruz says that ten days afterthey had plighted their marital vowsand promised to. love and cherish eachother, her husband began n course oftreatment, truly cruel and painful. Whenthe whim struck him he would strikeher, not with the whim, but with hisfists. He also used hia feet to kick her,and, t vary the monotony of the spurtw ould drag her about by her hair, w hichis long and strong. All these thingspained her and led her to believe thathe did not love her any longer. Nowshe wants Judge Coke to undo whatFather Victorinus did to put asunderthose whom God hath united in the holybonds of matrimony.

GUARD GETS TIM E

TO MAKE INCREASE

Minimum Will Remain UnchangedUntil June 30 Next, Say De-

partment Instructions

Tire orders recently received by thenational guard of the Territory to in-

crease the sie of all infantry com-psnv- s

in accordance with the provi-sions of the new National Iefense Act,need not be carried out at once, accord-ing to information received at head-quarters from the wnr department yes-

terday. Consequently, those units thathave done the required amount of drill-ing with the required minimum of menwill not bme their government pay, aswas St first feared when the orders toincrease the si.e of companies werefirst received.

Aee.ording to the order reeeiTcdyesterday, sTxty-flv- men will remainthe minimum size of infantry companics until June ,T0. Between July 1,1017. and June 30, HUH, the minimum

ill be eighty-thre- men, and afterJlme .10, l18, it will be one hundred.

For engineer and eoast artillery com-panies the minimum will remain at six-ty five until July 1, 1117. Betweenthat date and June 30, 19 J , it will belighty six and after June 30, 1918 theminimum for a full company will b100.

The effect of these instructions willthat companies I and M of the First

Infant ry here, will get the federalpay due them while the other com-panies which dropped the extra drills,they hud been having as soon as theinfincement was made that the new.niUium strength of infantry com-nan-

would be one hundred, willnot receive any pay for thia

period. Several companiesstationed on Hawaii and Kaaatwill also get their money from I'ucUiam, as will about eleven command!an Maui.'

J. O. B. Cameroa was adjudged avoluntary bankrupt in the federal courtyesterday and his cane referred to Attorney Howard L. Grace, referee inbankruptcy for Oahu, for further proceeding. Cameron gave hi liabilitiesat rtH.r,5 and the s suets at eightytwo dollars, eight dollar of which beclaim exempt under the law.

Forbe. in his letter to the Lonrd.written before left for the mniaViodsaid that he still courted investigntionis o the safety and atability of theritlei.d wall. He'll set it. for the

board waa . Jttlt in demanding justnrn. an investigation.

Wanta IaToatigaUonIt was Commiasinner Wakefield who

nade the motion for the appointmentof an inveatigating committee of expert, hia motion providing that theyihall make a thorough investigation ofPier 8. 9 and 10 and alio report onhe wall anchorage as provided in the

plans and specification and make suchrecommendations to the board as theynight deem moat advisable; also to exmine the plan and specifications of the

wall on Pier 10 and make such rer.omTnendations a to the design, or otheruhangee, as they might deem advisable.

Following is the text of KngineetMorgan's letter of confession:

"Honolulu, December LM, ltflrt."Board of Harbor Commissioners, Ter

ritory of Hawaii."Gentlemen: I must confess to vou

that I did not tell the truth when 1

stated that the points on Pier 0 bulk-head were all true to center. There isoo doubt but what the bulkheadworked sideways from four or Aveinches.

"My weak excuse for telling youthis untruth is the fact that Mr.informed the board that the bulkheadwas out four or five inches just recent-ly and only to discredit the design anda an entire spirit of animosity towardsall men connected with the job otherthan himaelf and his employer.

"May I ask the board, did Mr. Iirdtr his superintendent, when they ilrsikmw of thi state of affairs, slmosttwo monthi sgo. come to the board andis men to men state, 'Gentlemen, tha:tulkbead is going out! It is a dangerus proposition. I cannot continue work

tn the job. It is wrong to aquanderho people's money in such a wuy.tame means must be made to strength--

Iho struct i' re or examine it beforeiny work can go on.' No, I say tbeylid not. They continued working on'he job dy by day, pumping 'in back111 behind this bulkhead that waslever designed to stand a pressure be-lin-

it without the deck and completedstructure to brace it. Hurely this showshst neither Mr. l,onl nor his superin-

tendent Jookcd with apprehension utthe bulkhend moving out any more thant did, at that tiiio-- . But Mr. Lordcnows now, at this particular time, tha.:Ji statement of such a fact wouldhelp him discredit the ea'lre job.

"Mr.J.ord stated that he wants en;ineers big enough snd broad enoughto find a happy medium between theplans and s on the onelis nl, and the actual conditions existing after the job has started, on the'inirr. "en, nc got tnem engineersmat allowed him to numo in the fi be'lind the bulkhead before the deck wasplaced. What is the reeultt The bulk- St.irao nas moved seaward in the sameway a fence would be pushed out, bypiling up till on one side of it.

"I think that any board of engineerssfter a thorough investigation will belatisfied that the cause of the movement was due to the placing of the hyIraulic fill behind the unbraced bulkhe" 1. I am sure they will also findthat this type of bulkhead bowing outfive inches in a length of 450 feet isno sign that the structure has failed oris unsafe.

"Mr. Forbes nor Mr. Greircr knewnothing of the wall going out. J alunoestablished these points.

"Gentlemen, I tliought st times Mr.Greger and myself were too severe.Perhaps we sympathized with the con-t- i

actor because he was $711,000 lower'han the not highest bidder. Hut I

And that if you help out such a man itsMr. Lord your sympathies will bv im-

posed upon. At any rate, it is a hardgame. Jn the eyes of the rnntreetorawe were blackguards. He admits himself that he has not spoken to us formonths. Yet I say, on the other hand,I hve failed in my duty to you, myemployers. With this fait in mind I

hereby tender my resignation."I would like to add that the points

checked up by Mr. I) 'Esmond were ac-

tually on the line; that is. from Bent31 to 54 inclusive. None of these pointswere out more than otic h" If inch.

Only at the mouth iNuuanastream was any real damage wrought.Here a fleet of sampans piled up wueuthe crest of the flood struck them.
