WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 18. The
hearing given by the House Ways and
means committee on, the sugar sched
ule of the Payne-Atdrich tariff , act
passed with 'such a rush and hurry
that apparently bat little was accom-
" plished. The information obtained is
presumably to be used in framing a
revision measure.1 The sugar schedule
, was combined with wines and liquors.
. i. But' little opportunity was given for
oral . argument. ' Everybody was in
vited to leave brief.-
Judge. Sidney-Ballou appeared be

only important benefit to result fron
the hearings wfll be the moral effed
t that, is likely -to follow when the act

measure is taken up. He thinks it
; possible that then the arguments ad
vanced against radical modificatior
Will "bear-fruit and prevent anything
like ruinous slashing.;
In any eyent, the Judge feels sure
the senate will never consent to
proposition approximating free sugai
or any reduction in duties below tie
figures contained In, the Bristow sub
stitute, adopted at the last session o!
Congress. He, regards the sentiment
prevailing in the senate as opposed tc
any lowering of . sugar rates beyond
point where the product can be made
at a reasonable profit
The beet-sugar producers and the
cane-growers of Louisiana were alsc
well represented at the hearings.
Harbor Funds Leek Safe.
An appropriation of 1225,000 is car

be changed when the measure comef
up In the house for action.

Mr. MacGregor was one of the

System of Securing Crews for

Lives of Traveling Public
A persistent report, which could not
be traced to its source, and refused
co be verified was current on the
itreets this morning, to the effect
that the engineers of the Inter-Ia-and
licet are standing back of the
kippers in the difficulty between the
atter and the company. No one
xmld be found who would verify the
statement, but it was circumstantial,
;ven to the names cf the committee
ippointed by the engineers at their
neeting last night, to confer with the
special committee of the Harbor this
ifternoon. These names were J.
juinlan. J. Little and T. Malloy.
Asked regarding the report this
norning Captain Tullett, chairman of
he captains' special committee, said
hat he could not say. He has not
-)cen in touch with the engineers and
as in ignorance of their plans.
"We believe it would be to the ad

ers stand at present we are not in a

This is the slogan given to the busi
nessmen of Honolulu b.

n an address at the luncheon of the
Commercial Clirb at noon today. His
announced purpose was to show the
benefits of the proposed consolidation
of the commercial bodies into the Ho
nolulu Greater Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Dohvmann said that it would be
safe to adopt the scheme as a whole,
provided that all selfish interests were
eliminated. He related the experience
of San Francisco, where consolidation
was proving a success. Under the old
system here the chamber of commerce
deals with the interests of the planters
and trade promotion in the large,
while the merchants' association was
interesting itself simply in municipal
affairs. To combine the two great
functions vould be very difficult, un
less even ir.g was done for the
hoi'or of th .ity.
A story was told by the speaker re
lating to his s-ventieth birthday last
month, the point of which was illus
trative of tho adage that in unity
there was str-sth. He remarked on
the great advances that this commu
nity had mad? in the past few years,
which exceedH the progress of most
other communities. It ought to be so,
for this was n central point, in the
world's commence and travel, in
greater degree t.-.an many other cities
could clainv The people of Honolulu'
were compiimenttd on the manner in
which they were rising to their ad
vantages and opportunities. There
was a large : t tendance, and Mr.
Dohrmann's n-t; arks were loudly ap
plauded. As t1' n.an that had put it
into the heads cf t.i- merchants here
some years ago to organize as an as
sociation, his words were received as
those of one sneaking with authority.

AS PLANNED BY
Strongly opposing the proposed
plan for a "recall provision" in the
new city charter. William Thompson,
prominent Republican and active in
many territorial and municipal cam
paigns, declared this morning in an
interview given the Star-Bulletin that
if any recall provision is adopted, at
least forty per cent of the vote for del
egate should be required in signa
tures to the petition for a recall elec
tion to make such a provision opera
tive. Mr. Thompson declares that he is
disgusted with party politics in mu
nicipal affairs, and urges that an
easy recall would mean frequent elec
tions. He said:
"Being utterly disgusted with party
-politics as applied to municipal affairs
I will welcome a strong non-partisan
commission elected under a direct pri
mary law.
"It is to be feared, however, that
men of calibre will hesitate to accept
nomination for the office of commis
sioner if subject to recall by petition
of 20 per cent of the voters at any
time.
"Why the Recall T
"An individual running for office
submits a platform upon which he is
elected i commissioner only. The
board then, by majority vote, deter
mines the department of which he
shall have charge. This being so, if
there is no party alignment, if each
commissioner is independent, there are
four other members ready to check
mate any vicious ordinance.
"In case of gross incompetence, a
majority vote of the board could strip
any commissioner of his power over
any given department. In case of dis
honesty or immorality, we would still
have the power to impeach.
' "it would no doubt be comparative
ly easy to get per cent of the vot
ers to sign a petition for the recall of
Mayor F'ern for instance, but what
would Le accomplished thereby? He
would be in a position to sit back and
laugh at you. and at the election fol
lowing would be returned by a hand
some majority. Then again, it might
be possible for Fire Chief Thurston
with his political associates to suc
cessfully petition the recall of the
