Because the pr'ce of material and
I labor has in ere a-id to such an extent
since the public hearing on the Cere-
taaia street. Ala pal to Punahou, iro
provement district was held, the esti
mate on the coat of the work by the
engineer is practically $20,000 leas
than the amount deemed necessary
nov.
At that time the engineer figured
the Improvement would cost I111.3M.
but now it will be nearer $120,000, he
says.
As a result the engineering office is
in a dilemma. Lnless a way of re
ducing the present cost is found an
other public hearing will have to be
held, with new figures to present If
the public hearing is held the next
question which comes up is whether
the work will be done under the old
or new frontage tax law. .The latter
will cost the city four to five thou
sand dollars more. And on top of it
is the question of morey. The terri
tory save enougl under the old fls
ure to finish the work, but' now the
county will have to find the rest.
BOURBONS MEET AGAIN
TONIGHT TO CONSIDER
APPLICATIONS FOR JOBS
Another meeting of the Democratic
county committee is scheduled for
7:20 o'clock this evening, and it is
likely that the hundred or more appli
cations for positions under the new
city administration will be opened.
Another item of business scheduled
is the selection of a successor to Su
pervisor-elect William McClellan as
chairman of the committee. Senator
Manuel C. Pacbeco is scheduled for
the appointment, having recently been
delegated to the county committee
from the 10th precinct of the fourth
district.
At a meeting of the commttee last
eight it Is reported that the members
discussed party policies, read law
books and court decisions, and famil
iarized themselves with, the organio
act, and the new draft law.
Last night' the five Republican-sup
ervisors met at the city hall and dis
cussed ways and means of keeping
the balance of power In their hands,
They went over the rules governing
the procedure of the board and agreed
to change them so that the standing
committees will be appointed by the
board itself and not by the mayor,
They also agreed that there should be
only five committees instead of seven.
but that the two Democrats would
be represented on all of them.
in regard to the appointment by the
Tiayor of department heads it wss de
cided that all should be kept in office
and any attempt on the part of the
Democrats to make changes should
be blocked.

WASHINGTON. D. C June 26.
President Wilson yesterday assumed
control ot exports and appointed the
secretary of state, secretary of agri
culture, secretary of commerce and
the food administrator a council to
handle the powers and duties that
arise under the "Export Control Law.''
The executive order creating it di
rects the department of commerce to
administer the details of operation.
A meeting of the new council will
be held today when it will organixe
It will recommend that there shall be
a series of proclamations issued by
the President to put the law in active
operation. The first proclamation
will require the licensing of all coal
and fuel shipments, thus giving tne
government a grasp upon shipping
The second proclamation will require
a system of licensing of every sort of
exports. This is designed to prevent
any exports of any nature from this
country reaching Germany under all
circumstances.'
President Wilson made tula state
ment last eveninc: "There will be
absolutely fair play in the adminis
tration of this law and trade will not
be arbitrarily interfered with. Vic
tory can only be achieved by the sys
tematic direction of our American
trade. It is for this the law is de
signed and it is to this end that the
council win direct."
Under this law and with it In opera
tion the President is exercising a pow
er over commerce and trade which is
greater than any power that any of
his predecessors have exercised. The
law is drastic in its provisions and
the powers are nearly absolute.
This measure is the one which
neutral countries, especially Switzer
land, have dreaded tor if it is found
that American goods sre reaching
Germany through any neutral coun
try the source of supply to thst coun
try can Immediately be closed to
such offending neutral nation. Switz
erland has claimed that if it cannot
get coal and fuel from Germany it
must have them from the United
States.
TRIP TO KAUAI
Coniest Under Star-Bulletin
Auspices is One of Biggest
Successes in History
(Continued from Page 8)
The contest closed at 11 o'clock thfs
morning.
-Billy" Miles was invited to send an
all-star lnterscholaatlc team to Kauai
by Charles A. Rice and Hans Jsen;
berg. Inasmuch as Miles was man
ager of the St Loui? team, he decided
to leave the matter of the selection
of the players up to the tana of Hono
lulu. The Star-Bulletin offered to
conduct the contest Letters came In
from every section of the Island.
Among the many were selections mado
by feminine fans who had followed
the games.
All this morning telephone calls
came into the office, asking bow the
vote was going, and the latest mall
was flooded with letters sent by ardent
fans. There was a close race for third
base and . utility positions, while
George Haneberg, the peppery little
second sacker of St Louis, "rah strong
In all precincts."
. At 9 o'clock it was certain that
Haneberg would have a big majority
over all candidates, and Lai Sin, the
first sacker of St Louis, was also
running strong. The. fact tjaaT Hay
selden did not expect to make the trip
cut down his vote for a time, but he
ran strong in the votes this morning.
Sunn Hung, who was the leading
hitter of the league, carried a big vote
on this account and the fact that he
was pitted against Haneberg at second
base evidently caused the fans to shift
him to the outfield, where he has been
playing of late. The selection made
by the fans is practically the same
as' that made by the Star-Bulletin,
when an all-star team was selected, v
Commercial Uniforms to Be Worn
George Haneberg made the sugges
tion that the players use the Commer
cial League uniforms, giving the Hono
lulu firms representation on the trif.
This received the hearty support of
the majority of the business houses,
and these suits vill be used. The team
will hold first practise this afternoon
at 4 o'clock at Moiliili Field. The
squad leaves Monday afternoon at 5
o'clock.
Billy Miles said today that the selec
tion which was made by the fans is
satisfactory to alL and should mako
a great showing on Kauai.
"It shows that there is much Inter
est In the game, and the contest han
dled by the Star-Bulletin proves con
cluslvely tnat the tans ronow tnei
columns," he said. Miles has named
Henry Chilllngworth as representative
on Kauai.
