Paul ' J. .Christian, ' . Washington
f Dl CD representative of the American
Cane Growers (Sugar) Association of
the United States, is in Honolulu, mak

in that industry.. He also, represents
the large lice interests in Louisiana
and Texas, embracing most of the rice

relative to the status of sugar Inter

concerned. Mr. Christian says:
"When Congress reconvenes In reg

cember, it is generally believed that a
revision of the tariff win be undertaken.-
As is always the casa in legis

schedule will be one of the features:
over which a battle royal may be ex-!

preparing for the fray.

'."In one respect the coming legisla

any tof the revisions that have occurr

The suggestion, at Washington that is
now causing, most concern in sugar
circles is the contemplated excise tax.
'The. Idea of singling . out a staple
crop for purposes of the excise is not

(Special Star-Bulletin Wireless.)
WAILUKU, Maui, June 16-Two
more cases '-of anthrax, botn in dif
ferent localities, and two miles from
the original outbreak, have been dis
covered. The spread Nls suspicious.
j :
Word received today by the board
of agriculture and forestry that two
more deaths from anthrax a calf and
a sheep had occurred on Maui makes
it probable that the quarantine area
which already includes some 500
acres of he Haleakala ranch will be
enlarged to cover a considerably
greater portion of the Valley Island.
These two deaths occurred in lo
calities other than those where the
first outbreak was, the calf dying on
the place owned by Miss Nellie
Crooks at Makawao and the sheep in
a paddock just oeiow tne Haieanaia
ranch. Both are mauka of the orig
inal outbreak, and the former is at
least three and one-half miles distant.
The latter is perhaps cwo miles from
Makawao.
Dr. Victor 'A. Norgaard, territorial
veterinarian, was to leave this after
noon for Maui, taking alon? rare ma
terial to combat the disease and mic
roscopic apparatus to study it. Dr. J.
C. Fftzgerald is already on the scene.
It is understood that tbe bodies cf the
animals were burned son after they
had died.
Arthur H. Rice, president of the
board of agriculture and forestry, said
today that an effort will ire ma le to
bring a number of veterinarians from
the coast if conditions in the new few
days seem to warrant It. The fact
that the disease-is scattering. .makes
