Telegraph ( ompany. This record was
first made last Sunday night, when
the company s station at Kaneohe
talked direct to the great naval sta
tion erected by the company for the
government at Arlington, across the
Potomac Uiver from Washington. i
The story of the triumph of the new i
system was -sent abroad cast from,
the San Francisco office of the com
pany last night in the following
end of his -statements an even if he
was inclined to. come out with an
apology. , it Is ' doubtfiil , whether the
fcoldiers, . in tfaeid present frame of
nh(U wotild consider i dropping their
grievance" They' say that the school
principal should? be made to either
'substantiate his 'statements of suffer
the consequences.
' Officers Incline to the opinion that
even" if ' nothing more than publicity
come of the present agitation, it will
have a deterrent effect, on other; per
sons who might consider the soldiery
a convenient ipeg on which to hang
accusations and allegations of law vio-
' lation. .Moreover as one prominent
"eocjal worker yesterday expressed it,
the promptness with which the sol
diers voiced their resentment is tak
en as .proof ,of, their, personal desire
to stand for good citizenship and 'good
- morals. ' .
J President HorneA while .hot retract
ing any of his statenients; 'said "today,
'that he was misunderstood and that
he does' not" by any : means mae
' charges against the entire service.
T have no intention whatever of
'retractfng any r- statements- or - with
drawing anything which I may have
said during my address at the mass
meeting held in trie Bijou theater re
cently," said.. Perley Home, president
br the' Kamehameha Schools.;' this
morning in answer to the demand of
a numberpf enlisted men of the local
army tUat he apologize for his al
leged statements at the Bijou mass
meeting.
Mr. Home went on to state that he
,thinks the cause of the entire affair
is due to the .fact that he has been
misquoted by the soldiers.' "During
my address," "be said. I made no
charge against the army as a whole.
but I did say that there are some en
listed men in the army who are a
! menace to . the city, and 1 say now"
that some of the soldiers, as well as
some of thfr adventurers from the
mainland, cbnsider the girls their, le
gitimate prey; . I do not mean only the
Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian girls,
ljut girls of any other nationality. '
"if I remember correctly, irj state
ment, in regard to the matfer was:
'Far be it from me to make any state-'
.ment against any organization as a
whole, but I will say that there are
those among the, soldiers and the' ad
venturers from the -Coast who look
upon the Hawaiian and the part-Hawaiian
girls as' their legitimate, prey!
"I consider the'' words 'soldiers
and adventurers' a proper, classifi
cation' and I made no distinction be
tween ! them. , I do not plare the
blame ori one class more .than I do
the other and I can see no reason for
withdrawing the statement, as I would
not have made it had I not been con
vinced that it was true. Another
place where I have been misquoted
is where 'J have been alleged to
charge the soldiers .with rape. I did
not make any such statement, and
when I referred to the soldiers I was
speaking of seduction. There are, as
everyone . knows, many fine men
among the soldiers and the adventur
ers from the mainland and other
places, but I still uphold my state
ment that in these two 'organizations
there are those who are a menace,
and that they should be weeded out."
When asked what action he would
take in case tlte soldiers took the
.matter to the Courts. President Home
said that at present he would 'give out
no information as to what steps he
would take.
The leaders of the protest move
ment at Fort Shafter have framed a
circular letter to the men of every
troop, battery, and company in the
department, asking financial and

ASSESSOR DEALS
II
BLOW TO HOPES
OF LOVER TAXES
Those good people of Honolulu who,
taking the statement from Tax Asses
sor Wilder published in ths Star
Bulletin last week, to the effect that
the assessments on' the sugnr pianta
tioce of the Territory would drop sev
eral millions of dollars during the
coming year, hoped that the real and
personal taxes of the city and county
be reduced- also, will have to aban
don their hopes and prepare theni
telves to pay o nthe same'assessnients
next year that they did this.
Speaking of his statement Mr. Wild
er said this morning. "It is true that
the taxes on the plantations will proh
rbly be lower in . 1913 than in 1912, as
1 pointed out last week. But I see
no reason why this reduction lould
apply -to the real and personal prop
erty in Honolulu, for instance.
' "Of Jcourse if it'ean be shown that

ARE NECESSARY
ASSERTS SHERIFF
There wa3 a general demand for
more and still more men from the
police department and from the build
ing and plumbing inspector at the
meeting of the incoming board of sup
ervisors held last night Sheriff Jar
rett was the man who pleaded hard
est for an increase of his department.
He wants another detective sergeant
to keep watch at the police station
and at least four more men . for his
detective force.
In speaking of the needs of his de
partment the sheriff told the embrio
solons that it is Impossible for him
to meet all the calls made YPn the
police force. He declared that fre
quently he has found himself all alone
in the police station at night,!' all his
men on, beat or out on calls and that
wider such circumstances emergencies
might arise which he would be pow
erless, to mee. . He also asked for
more men to do patrol duty, declar
ing that his present force is not near
ly sufficient. He Also asked for a
scale clerk, to do office work as well.
He told the solons the job would pay
for itself.
After listening to' what the sheriff
had -to say the next board oF super
visors told him to "go way back and
sit down," or words to that effect:
There is no money to do any of the
suggested improvements, and the po
lice department must struggle along
as best it may until the exchequer is
replenished.
Mr. Miehlstein, the city building
and plumbing inspector told the cau
cus that he must, have another inspec
tor to' look after the plumbing work
of the city. At present, he said he is
so rushed that it is practically all he
can do to look after the building that
is going on in Honolulu. He asked
that his request be granted as soon
as possible after the board meets. He
was also put off.
But the real clash came when City
and County Auditor Bicknell appear
ed before the board-to-be. He object
ed to reducing his staff, saying that
there is plenty of work for all. To
t-hia Supervisor-elect Pacheco replied
that the new board is contemplating
