Representative of Sugar Protection Committee, in First Letter

The Sugar Prof ret ion Committee
has received its first" mail report
from George
Washington
41. Carter, who is in
as me coijimiucc.
agent working to save the sugar tar-
Hi situation.
The letter shows that Hawaii Is
making a tremendous showing In
Wasblngton, and Carter says that the
work should be kept up. The letter
reads as follows:

friends they have made during their

that Honolulu is. In his estimation,
the most beautiful place in the world.

"Is it your Intention to study the
Japanese attitude in regard to recent
cnti-alien legislation in the state of
California. Mr. Bryce?" asked the. re
presentative of the Star-Bulletin as a
parting shot. -
"I had a delightful dip in the surf
early this morning." the famous diplo
mat responded. "What a glorious
country this is! . ' - ;
After a luncheon, at the llniverslty
Club yesterday afternoon, Mr. and
Mrs. Bryce, as the guests of Governor
and Mrs. Frear, motored about the
island. After dining at the Moana
hotel, the distinguished visitors apent
the night at the governor's residence.
Today is the birthday of the noted
diplomat and historian, and he com
mented on the fact this morning in
the course of a breakfast given in his
honor at the home of Governor and
Mrs. Frear. Governor Frear was
away '. this morning, and with Mrs.
Frear as hostess the guests were Mr.

thought that follow-up letters from

not more than if sent from here." We'
discussed fully the situation and all
the field workers here are imbued
with the idea that it is impossible for
us to expect no change. They seem

TO SAIL IMA
ON A MISSION
Promising to dissipate shortly the
mystery surrounding the destiny of
the American schooner Luka, Judge
Henry E. Cooper today admitted he
has purchased that vessel from Cap
tain Emil E. Piltz, and that within a
few days she likely will sail away on
a mission the nature of which not
even the owner is fully cognizant of
at present
, "Yes, I have bought the Luka
from Captain Piltz," said Judge
Cooper this morning. "She is being
fumigated today. She Is to be pro
visioned for a lengthy cruise ready to
sail at a moment's notice.
"I can't say where she is to go or
what her mission will be, not know
ing. That probably will be determined
in the next few days, however, and
when it is I shall be perfectly will
ing to teil you."

EXPERT TO INVESTIGATE
ALL ANGLES OF THE

Latest advices from Washington are
to the effect that William Cox Red-
held, the new secretary of commerce,
will be allowed $1,000,000 to make a
thorough Investigation of the Under
wood-Wilson tariff measure, which It
ib said will compel a large number of
manufacturers to close their factories
should it finally be enacted.
According to friends of the secre
tary, he knows more about the tariff
than does Oscar Underwood. Besides
filling the office to which he has been
appointed by President Wilson, Red
field is at the head of the Manufactur
ers' Export Association, which posi
tion enables him to keep his finger on
the pulse of all tariff questions.

Ugaku Hamaguchi, the Japanese
"healer" operating through occult
powers upon" hundreds of men, wo
men and children in this city, has at

county authorities as well as his own
countrymen.
Though the board of health Is de
clared to be powerless to act even
should the man be found to be prac
ticing an art strange to orthodox and
recognized medical procedure, the
city and county authorities, want to
see what Hamaguchi is doing. If he
is a hypnotist, the local authorities
want to find out about it.
' Many hundred Japanese attended
Hamaguchi's "clinic" 'at the Mochit

Governor fn Survey of Last
Session, Points to Much
Progressive Legislation
In the article below', Governor
Frear has made for the Star-Bulletin
a survey of the work of the 1913 leg
islative session. He answers emphat
ically criticisms to the effect that lit
tle of important or progressive legis
lation was tnacted at the session just
closed.
BY GOVERNOR W. F. FREAR.
No one ; who kept In close touch
with the work of jthe legislature or
who has read the laws enacted by it
can well, avoid the f conclusion that a
great amount of progressive Igisla
tion was enacted during the recent
session. . . ';
Persons interested in particular
bills that failed of passage may feel
disappointed. Having their attention
centered on those ; bills, they might
naturally overlook; the remaining
mass of good bills that were enacted
and feel that the legislature fell
short in the performance of its du
ties. It must te remembered that
the legislature is made up of many
members and that they represent dif
ferent opin.ons, of which also there
are many in the community. No one
group, however right or advanced it
may be In Its Ideas, can expect to
have lts entire program carried out
at once. ' v '- - : - '
The legislature enacted 170 laws,
which is one more than were enact
ed at the previous session, which had
to its credit the largest number up
to that time. The number of laws.
however, is of little matter. Indeed,
the fewer the laws the better, unless
they are of the right kind. One of
the things most to the credit of the
legislature Is the targe number, of

Bids for construction of the naval
hospital at Pearl Harbor, which, when

States service, were opened in Wash
ington this morning, and private
dispatches received here Indicate that
the Spalding Construction Company
of Portland, Oregon. Is the 'low bid
der. Walter Spalding, docal repre
sentative of the firm, stated this after
noon that he had just received a cable
gram saying: "Spalding low hospital."
The bids were on 19 separate items,
and the figures of the Spalding Com
pany aggregate about $320,000.
The hospital plant at Peart Harbor
consists of 31 separate buildings and
the amount of the appropriation for
the entire project is $629,000. Of this
only $280,000. Is now available, but by
splitting the proposals into separate
items, it is possible by cutting out
gome of them to bring the Spalding
bid well within the appropriation. In
all probability only one of the two
wards called for will be built at the
present time. V
The naval hospital, as planned, con
sists of a three-story administration
building, with a two-story ward build
ing on each side of it, connected by
covered passages. In the rear is the
subsistence building, and surrounding
the main chain are the outbuildings
and quarters. Provlson Is made in
the plans for future wards; and wards
for detention, and for contagious dis
eases, v The administration building,'
with its two wing wards, has a front
age of 850 feet
The main hospital building consists
of an administration uilding, two
ward buildings, subsistence building,
laboratory, operating building, laun

quarters, bachelor officers' quarters,
hospital corps' quarters, nurses quar

MORE "DARK H0R5JS NOW IN
RACE FOR THEiOVERNORSHIP
SENATIIMGER I
WOULD BETHE
Senator Delbert E. Metzger, of Hilo
and the Democratic party, is one "dark
horse" who has already started In the
gubernatorial race. He started from
Hilo on the Mauna Kea yesterday and
he arrived this morning, on, the. first
lap of the: trip, to; AVashicugton. iJialklhft
guebernatorial candidates are. all tak
ing now. 'r': .
Senator Metzger is following hard
on the heels of L.' I McCandless, Gil
bert J. Waller and Edward. M, Watsori,
and there Is a rumor that Judge A. A.
Wilder is not unlikely to be the next
departure In the general; direction of
the White, House. Judge Wilder Is
known to have been picked by many,
including some substantial business
men, for a candidate in case Watson
Is found physically unfit Further
more, Metzger's own candidacy de
pends on Watson's withdrawal, so It is
figured that Judge Wilder's name Is
likely to be found on an outgoing pas
senger list before long.
Senator Metzger did not say defin
itely this morning what message had
summoned him to . Washington, al
though he did say. that his message)
was direct from the president or Sec
retary Lane. It is believed that some
of his friends there have informed
him that he Is now strongly consld-r-red
for the governorship and that he
ought to be getting on the ground.
Metzger, according to report Is go
ing to have a talk with George R. Car
ter when he arrives in Washington.
By following the information given
him by a friend that a quantity of
opium had been smuggled into the
city and hidden in Kalihi, Sanborn
R. Short, a night inspector in the cus
toms service, is responsible for the
rounding up of two bladders and eight
tins of the contraband drug which he
found in an old stone quarry in the
rear of the insane asylum. The dis
covery of the drug was made at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon following
a search of several hours, and Its con
fiscation may lead to the." arrest of a
gang of smugglers believed to have
been carrying on operations in this
cfty for some time past- . .' .
Upon receiving information as to
the possible hiding place of the drug.
Short, without informing anyone of
what he had learned, went to Kalihi
and began a search in the quarry
near the insane asylum. .After search
ing for several hours he discovered an
old teapot sitting near;a pile of small
stones well up under a small ledge.
With the use of a stick, he dug into
the ground to a depth of about half a
foot when he. came upon a gunny sack.
Removing the sack and opening it,
he found it to contain the cache of
opium. He reported his find and turn
ed the drug over to the customs offi
cials, and Chief of Detectives McDuf
fie was set on the trail. Two Portu
gese were arrested upon suspicion
yesterday afternoon.

One report at the capitol building this
morning was that Metzger has been
asked to bring a letter from A. W.

the politicians, for A. W. Carter Is
popularly supposed to be backing
Waller strongly.
Metzger said today that he expects
to go to Philadelphia and then on to
Washington. It is presumed to be
business with the Breakwater Com
rany of Philadelphia that is taking
him to the Pennsylvania city. ;
