' We" 'suggestion of William W. O.

mUtioQ take over large tracts of land
on Hawaii suitable for agricultural
production and there by example and
experiments teaxh tbe farmer bow to
plant and wben and what crops to
plant .to increase productivity, re
ceives. 'the emphatic indorsement of
Albert Horner, retired plantation
.manager who la familiar with the
regions -on Hawaii where Mr. Molr
advocated the establishment of a farm
Ins experimental station. ,
Vl-.can corroborate everything Mr.
Moir; said as outlined Jn the Star

today. The quality of land he de
scribed at Keanakolu is the same
class of land that begins on the south
rn boundary of the land at Plihonoa,
continuing around the northern slope
of Mauna Kea to the western boundary
of -the land at Kaohe, 75 per cent of
Vwnle)r-fa government land.
"This is first-class agricultural land

Hot on Trail of Suspects
WITH the recovery of another ma
chine early this morning which
is said to have been ttolen and
a report that still another machine
was stolen last night, the police au
thorities are much aroused ith a
growing determination to fix tbe re
sponsibility for the series of theft
that occurred over the week-end.
Well directed suspicions era Icing
followed out and it. is expects! that
soon the persons responsibls for many
of the thefts will be found.
"I have told the police to shoot If
anyone in an automobile refuses to
stop when they are ordered to do so
by a policeman." declared Julius V.
Asch, deputy sheriff of the city and
county of Honolulu.

blown out, the tools wen sone, but
the . engine was stllT golng.
i No. reports of this theft 'came to
the station and- the' police" think it
was taken last night, without the
knowledge of its owners
A.Japanese boy reported 'that ma

stolen! from In front uf the owner's
residence at 1S25 Palolo road, report
ed immediately vto the police and
found by them yesterday at Alea.- It
was brought to the police station.
t The maliciousness of the auto fnlef
is . seen In the condition In which

Speaklnr ' of the ' numerous auto
thefts,- W. R. Parrlngtonr president of
the auto club today said: .
" "Of course the Honolulu automobile
club Is Interested In " this . epidemic
of thieving that Is going on. We have
been following the development of It
for some time and: Mr, R. K Booth
has' specialized on the subject He
Is . convinced of the Inefficiency of
the police aad their methods.
: rSo far as Independent action is
concerned, the ; suggestion: has been
made of employing a private detec
tive. - This, if dope at all, should be
by the insurance agencies. Some time
ago the proposal - was vmade In the
club that we .start aa insurance bu
reau; for our ; members. "VvThe objec
tion" was made - that we would thus
come In competition , with ' members
of -thedub : interested in the Insur
ance business, and the objection pre
vailed.' . Therefore, it seems to rae
that any steps towards private polic
ing of. the city -should be takenfby
the agencies, which'" would of course
have the hearty support of the auto
mobile club and all owners.
"The primary difficulty of the
whole situation Is found in the ob
vlots inefficiency of the police department-
which lacks the Initiative
and discipline that should be the dis
tinguishing character of police admin
istration in a growing , city. The po
lice management has never passed
out of the small town class, except
In Its consistent .refusal to acknow
ledge that.lt has any faults.'

NABBED BY MARSHAL
So drunk that they were helpless,
two sailors from Pearl Harbor were
arrested Saturday night by Marshal J.
J. Smiddy who. after taking their
money from them tor safe keeping,
had them locked in a cell at the po
lice station to sober up. This morn
ing the marshal released the men.
The marshal endeavored to get the
sailors to tell aim who furnished the
liquor, but all they could remember
was that a civilian had given them
half a pint of something that looked
like .whisky. According to the story
they told the marshal, the liquor must
have oeen drugged, as they could not
have gotten drunk on such a small
quantity, they said.
