U United States Securities German stockholder of Hackfeld jk Company and the vrioui Hackfeld , plantation and eompanie will becorh . heavy, investor la .Liberty Bond and other United States aeourities issued "to rais fund for th prosecution of th war against Prusaianism, when' (h i "Trailing With th Enemy Bill be ' comes a law. ' After the war the moniei 'or the eruritie will be paid over to ' ueh stockholder with the acerned In terest, but meantime Uncle Sam will loan the dividends an1 the accruing in terestto. himself. ' ' ' When the Trailing With the Enemy Dili shall become a law, what will be ita effect upon . HaekfeM it Company 1 and the1 varion other companies in the Territory In which the lima stockhold ers are largely (ntereeUdf ' Thi ia a 'question that i asked almost every time . the pending ' bill, which parsed the senate Wednesday, ia mentioned in Honolulu. , It it known that HaekfeM k Company ia made op largely of stock holder of the class known as alien enemies slid that' the same is the lease with plantations for which the com pany ' agent. ' Company Ia Not Affected JVom .the text 0 the proposed law, copies of ' which have , been received in Honolulu,. -it would appear that -it will have no direct effect upon the com panies themselves but will bave effect utton the non-resident ' alien enemy stockholders, those citiaena of and res idents in the 'country of any of the Central Powers. Such stock will be taken over and administered by an of' :' lcln.1 to be known as the alien property OMtodinn, The dutiea and powers of .his official are to be prescribed by the secretary of commerce, but he most turn over the money which he receives to the secretary of the treasury who will invest it and keep it invested in United States bonds and .United States certificates of indebtedness, tinder kuch rules as he,' the secretary of treasury, with the approval of the President, shall prescribe'. HaekfeM k Company ia a corporation Incorporated Under the laws of Hawaii, and as snch is an American corporation. - The- ran thai ' its 'stork, is so largely 'liehl by resident citizens of an enemy country appears In no wise to affect the status of the corporation. On the other hand the proposed law will have a decided effect upon the for eign ilackfeMa and other non-resident German stockholders, for they will re ceive no income from the properties in "which their money 'Is invested 'here until after the war, when this bill be comes a law. ' Hagena TMks of BUI .1. F. C. Hagens' of HaekfeM ft Com pany was seen by The Advertiner yes terday and talked' freely on the subject of the pending measure had the effect on the HaekfeM Company interests. "This is an American corporation," said Mr. Ilagens, "as much an Ameri can as any corporation can be since It owes Its existence and creation as a rdrporation to the laws of HawniT and the United States. Under those dr. omittances tin) custodian would not un dertake to take over the business ' of the corporation or any .similar ones. This is as I read the law. " ' "On the other hand, the situation of the foreign' Stockholders is different, for those of them who are not citizens of thiH country but of the Central Pow ers. The custodian would, as I under stnnd it, take over the atork of such stockholders, Invest the dividends which he receives for them on such stock, keep all such dividends Invested, and, when the war is ended account for them to such stockholders and pay over to them nil received in the period of hi custody with the accrued interest. "From a careful reading of the copies of the law that have reached. me, that is the conclusion I have reached." Bow About Meetings The ' proposed law provides that the! names or alien enemy stockholders ahall v.- i m . i ... . . ntrjravn ironr i-no lint, Hirrnauanuy or temporarily, and this provision opens some interesting possibilities for the Hackfeld corporations. When' the times for annnal meetings come, will it be possible for the com-' panics to secure a majority or the stoclt of the company required to transact business! Will. the custodian be represented at such meetinga and if ao will be take any part in the management of tho companies! The law says he ahall administer the property which he received and this Would seem to mean that be shall rep resent the stock or have it represented at the stockholders' meetings; in other words, that the United BUtea, through h tin, would for the time he aa much stockholder in' Hackfeld ft Company as any others, as a matter of fact be the largest stockholder. It will be necessary for the seretarv of commerce' to formulate rules and regulations for such administration of the stock, NO MORE WOODEN SHIPS TO BE BUILT BY BOARD GREEN OK EXEMPTION BOARDS Mames of Members of District and Local Bodies Have Been .

', Professor Rossiter, to give him hi Tiill' title, vlHited the Pall yesterday and aaid last night that he was tremen dously imprensed at the enormous amount of power being wasted at the draw. There Is, the Boston scientist aaye, enough power going to waste every day and night at the Pall to light the whole of Honolulu. The volume of wind la bigger and stronger, declares Rossiter, than la any other plnce be has visited, not excepting Borne, Swttaerland, where wind motors, geared to dynamos, gen erate electricity for lighting the city and supplying power for1 . aomnereial purposes beside. v. The beauty of power thus generated la that it is entirely independent Of water, and the lighting of the eity would go on just tho mi me, whether there were ten feet of water in the rea ervoir or whether it were overflowing. Professor Kosniter will visit the Pali on Sundny equipped with a wind Instru ment designed to measure' accurately the velocity of the wind. Today and tomorrow he will 9 No be on the job kt the Pali In the morning, making care ful notations which will be of great as sistance when he comes to check up 00 the' volume and velocity of the Pall aephyrs. ' . ... Profesor Rossiter interviewed Mayor Fern yeHterday and talked over the matter with him. The mayor t aaid to have been greatly impressed -with the feasibility of the scheme, particularly inasmuch as it will mean cheaper power for the poi factories, which will," of Bourne, tend to greatly reduce the' price of poi.

Asphaltum Heater For Road Pav ing Does Not Work As Expect . - ed and One Says "Stung" A, Declaring thai the asphaltum heater purchased by the county some abort time back was apparently sot giving satisfactory reaalta, the board of super visor yesterday took the matter np with B. T, Moses, the local agent, aay the Hilo Tribune of Keptember 0. Th ball was set spinning by Hn per visor Julian R. Yates who told Mr. Moses that th board was under the impres sion that they had been "stung." It was, understood when the machine was pnrehased.'he laid, that all it waa ne cessary fo do would be to dump th barrels of asphalt into the heater and after -It had been properly heated, the machine Could then spread it. ' "But thl was not found to be the rase," declared Supervisor Yates. From what I ant told the heater rannot take the lump asphaltum, and it is necessary to first heat it in a separate container before putting It into the distributor for spreading. 1 We thought the ma chine sold us was an aaphaltnm heater a Well as a water heater." Mr. 'Moses told the honrd that the machine was sold to them according to . catalog aubmitted at the time of purchase. ".Naturally the asphaltum cannof be put In the container in lumps," he said, "and you were all apparently laboring under a misap prehension." ; "Yon people knew that the asphal tum was purchased by the county in barrels,"! broke in Hupervinor Cabrin ha, addressing his remarks to Mr. Moses. "We already have a distri butor that will put oil on the roads, and if thi machine is only good for th sam purpose, It is no uxe to us." "At th time the question of the pur chasoof this) machine came up," added Cabriuha, "I agreed with the others to buy it on the understanding that it could heat the lump asphaltum. Per sonally, . I haven 't seen the machine, aad all that I am eoiuir on is what I 1 have been told. 'The machine may be an r'gnt, out irom reports cominir to me. it Isn't." - Mr. Mosee explained, at this stage, that machine similar in every respect to the one now in use by the county were used exclusively by construction men in-the east arid were giving satis factory results. He declared that when the -machine arrived a man wax sent from the coast to demonstrate its work ing; and those V' ho attended were ap parently Satisfied. Further brief 'discussion, as to wheth er the machine waa what it had been represented, ' followed, ' after which the matter waa left In the hands of a com mittee appointed to look into the ques tion. Supervisor Cabrinhs aaid, in conclusion, thaf he would like to have the machine demonstrated thoroughly to him before he rondetnued it. But nnless it ia doing .the work required, be declared, we ilo not want it i !.' 4 nr?r V ft I w I I MARINE INTELLIGENCE.. ' By Merchant' Exchange ftn miH-lieo Arrlvml, Bcirt. 10, Str.

' a NOTaAX-EXEMPIlON HOVPOSILEFOR HAWAIIAN COFFEE This' U Not the Time For Terrl . tor. To Continue Efforts For Special Consideration In Reve nue Bill " WAIT UNTIL AFTER WAR, SAYS SENATOR HARDING Any Fight Now Jo Secure Exemp tion would Be Losing One and Injures Islands In the End, Thinks Statesman ; Now is not the time for Hawaii to eontlnue her efforts to secure any spec ial consideration for Hawaiian coffee in the War Tax Hill, about to ro into conference. Hnch is tho opinion of Senator Harding, a very Rood friend of the Islands and a alaunrb proper. tionist, who has taken an interest in the Hawaiian coffee industry and who i anxiou to sec it fostered and en couraged. -' The aenate revision of the War Tax Bill impose an excise duty of two eetite a pound on coffee, a consumption tax applicable to all coffees, whether domestic or imported. Delegate Kuhio made aa effort to have Hawaiian cof fee excluded from the bill and Senator Harding pledged his support In the at tempt. Now, according to advice from 'Washington, the Ohio senator advises that the effort be dropped, and that no effort be made, even, to secure the final adoption of the house tax on cof fee, which 1 only . one cent a pound; Government Need Revenue In 1 the opinion of Senator Harding aad of other senate and house leadera it wMl be year before thi consump tion tax on coffee will be taken off. Free toffee haa not benefitted the consum er ia the slightest, the Brazilian ex porter having reaed all the benefits, and the government need the revenue, now especially. It will continue to nocd :tt for year after the conclusion bf the war. After, the war period there will be, of course, some tariff repairing, and then will be the time for Hawaii to tight for an exemption from th excise tnx, while retaining the tax jupon the Braxllian and other foreign coffees. Thia exemption will then be exactly the same a a tariff protection and th Hawaiian coffee grower will benefit to the extent of the consumption tax upon Imported bean. Would Lose Tight Henator Harding and the other friend of the Island in the aenate be lieve that to make a losing fight now far exemption aad the fight i cer tain to ie a loinpey-wrild preju dice Hawaii V ehance v for exemption later' on. . It is quite poible, aocording to the Washington advices, that the present two nent tax upon coffee will be ma terially increased. The, expenditure of the government are piling moun tain high and every mean of revenue will be worked to the limit. A thia tux goes up, the mora will Hawaii benefit by waiting and securing an af ter war exemption. EIGHTllIfif ' TYPHOID FEVER , i ? '..' . L 4.
