Request them announce ac ceptance Hawaiian traffic all eastern points, you obtaining space after ar rival San Francisco, Answer.", - v The message this morning is the re ply to the effort of the local Santa Fe agent to save" Honolulu merchants from the carload shipment restriction. It anticipates a lengthy letter which he had prepared setting forth the needs of island merchants and ad dressed to W- G. Barnwell, the Santa Fe assistant freight traffic manager in San Francisco. In this letter he contended , that there was no need tor a ireignt em bargo on Hawaii bound goods because required to come here to take, away sugar ad n pineapples would provide a larger tonnage than tne mercnanaise requirements.

The tonnage of the Territory of Hawai, while large, is not in Itself too great to seriously interfere with the proper patriotic war time operation of the A ft luau. Mr. Vernon said this morning, "I still believe th j Hawaii conditions are dissimilar to Oriental conditions and hope my argument to Mr. Barnwell 'may result favorably." This was after he -had received the cablegram order ing him to follow the conditions re guired. His letter to the freight traf fic manager, will reach Mr. Barnwell ;by the Matsonia mail. "As carload .lots only rere mention ed in the cr.olegram received tbis morning I understand less than car load shipments will be handled s heretofore: namely, will be accepted wlthot question at eastern points and will on arrival at San Francisco be trans-shipped without delay," Mr. Ver pon says. If the carload restriction is enforced by the railroads, as seemo to be the intention, if given, permission by the Inter-State Commerce Commission, it Avill result in a new trade arrange ment whereby Honolulu merchants will have to deal through San Fran cisco jobbers, it is asserted. This, it is said, will interfere with estab lished business of years standing. be tween the Honolulu firms and the east ern manufacturers and jobberSj WORTH $32,000 SOLO FOR 12750 The famous transpacific racing yacht Hawaii, valued at $32,000, was sold at auction today in the office of James F. Morgan Co., Ltd, to Harry L. Evans, assistant manager of the Honolulu merchant patrol, for the sum of 12730. Only, four bids were made. Harry Mill opened the auction by of fering 11000 for the ship. The next bid sent the price to $1500, the third bid to $2500 and the fourth to $2750, at which it was knocked down to Mr. Evans. The sale must be .confirmed by the' court before it becomes legal, as the yacht -was put. up for sale on the order of the court. More than 150 attended the auction, w hich lasted Just a little short of four minutes. Evans will sell that boat at double "the price he paid within a week," a bystander remarked ' after ' tie sale had been made. .' .; A fast Nieuwediep motor boat re cently brought in a British seaplane adrift off Vie Dutch coast through lack of petrol, : Its occupants were t alien on board' a guard vessel, pending in ternment decision, - FAMOUS YAGHT IIILOsTO FOR REC Urgency of Completing Break- water, Need of Parks and Roads to Be Emphasized .'

Several matters of local importance will bo brought to the attention of the : con gressmen ana chief among themlll be a protest, against any further de lay In the work on the Hilo break water. ' This matter is considered to be of vital importance and it has been arranged that Attorney J. W. Russell shall speak on the subject. Judge D. .. MeUger, who has had considerable experience ; in connection with the breakwater and who has all the data, will be on hand to answer any ques tions.

During the drive to Makapuu lighthouse yester day one of the party noticed the tag on the rear of the machine.' "The people of Hawaii are doing things up fine," was the statement supposed to have been made. "Why, they even have their automobiles tagged 'Hon orable for the members of the par ty." And hanging to the back of the car was Hon. 111. He had mistaken the last for Illinois. . " Representative William Gordon of Ohio was much ' impressed with the surroundings at the College of Ha waii.

S.1YS NORTHWEST FitJDS'DRVlAW IS REAL SUCCESS Business is Now Better Than - - Ever in Washington, Says - .Senator Poindexter P ROHIBITION has been a real success in the state of Wash ington from a business stand point," said Senator Miles Poindexter today. 'There was a cry raised that prohibition would interfere with bus iness conditions, but since the state has been dry, we have found a better and sounder business condition.' "Prohibition is also making vast strides throughout America, and fav orable legislation has been enacted in the national capital. A step in ad vance has been the prohibition of the use of grains for distilleries.. I be lieve that both Oregon and Washing ton have recognized the worth c pro hibition, t- "Vvomen's suffrage has been more than satisfactory In Washington. It has been a success. There doesn't appear to be ttjfc Interest in political life that was evidenced during the campaign for suffrage, but the women have helped to. enact some very ex cellent legislation. "I am confident that the women of Washington have worked for the most progressive legislation. Mother's pen- hsiens, industrial insurance, school im provement, city planning and im provement of parks are among the things that have been instigated throughout the suffrage movement." he concluded. MAXIMALISTS WILL OFFER ALL FIGHTING NATIONS A NO-INDEMNITIES PEACE (Atsocated Press by U- S. Naval Wlieless.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Aspects of; the Russian debacle admittedly took on a more serious coloring yes terday when advices were received from Ambassador Francis that the in fluence of the Bolshe-Vikis, pro-Germans and ultra-radical parties had spread outside of Petrograd, reached Moscow and that there the revolu tionary committee, supported by the military garrison, had taken all of the government, offices. Ambassador Francis had received, he said, a des patch from the United States 'consul at Moscow under date of Thursday. Advices from Petrograd quote Len ine as one of the chief spokesmen of the Maximalists. In an-address which he made before the Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates Council on Wed nesday he Is reported toshave said: VWe 6hall offer to the world terms of peace which will be acceptable to the proletariat of all the warring countries. We shall cause to be pub lished all treaties that have hereto fore been secret and will promulgate no further secret treaties. We shall take over the control of all land and we shall give to the workmen control cf all of our. industries." . , Before the same body yesterday he said: "Our plan is to offer an imme diate armistice of three months during which time elected representatives of all of z the warring nations,, none 4 of whom shall In any way be connected with i or representative or tne diplo matic corps, will meet to settle the q u estion of, peace. We shall present our terms but we are ready to con sider1: the. terms that others may sug gest as well.

To ? delay the extension of the breakwater may mean that from two to four years may elapse before any thing is done. The sum of $500,000 is still left from the original amount agreed to hv nti(TPSS for the construction of the breakwater. Of this amount, $150,000 has been appropriated and is ioviiiahio whUp th balance of $350,- 000 still remains to be appropriated. In addition to Mr. Russell it is prob able that Attorney Carlsmith will speak cn the necessity of national parks and roads leading into them. This subject is one that is claiming a lot of attention at present. The subject of coffee and the de--sirability, of having a protective tariff on it will be brought to the attention of the congressmen by A.' L. Louisson. Two years or so ago Mr. A, G. Curtis of Olaa spoke on the subject of homesteading. It is possible, that he may be in Hilo on Wednesday and speak. He told members of the party that the school bad the greatest collection ioi taeieiea ay cfcnsorj n uau evri ; been his pleasure to view. Mr. Hess knows every flower by its middle name, and the members of the party had a hard time following his lan guage. i During his tour of the grounds he found a tree which is known as the "tree of life" on the deserts. Ac cording to his story these trees de rived the name from the fact that they retain" moisture for a long time. M O Senator Thompson of Kansas, mem ber of the committee on agriculture and forestry, was the speaker of the day at the College of Hawaii lunch yesterday afternoon. He told of the advantages which could be obtained through a course in study at Hawaii's educational institution, and compli mented the people of Hawaii on their progressive spirit which made pos sible such an institution. VISIT TO UTAH Solon's father Came to Islands Years Ago to Establish Mormon Church Here Senator William H. King of Utah who with Senator Ashurst of Arizona and Representative Gordon of Ohio, called at Washington Place this morning to express sympathy, has many pleasant recollections of Queen Llliuokalani when she was In -Salt Lake City. At that time he helped to prepare for the great reception that was accorded the queen and had sev eral conversations with her. Although this was soon after the annexation of the islands, the queen. Senator King remembers, showed no bitterness. "She was very, very sad," said the senator, "but she expressed herself as believing that America would be Just to her people. It .vras always he people, the Hawaiian race in the is lands, who occupied the first place in her heart." Senator King's father, . William King, made several visits to Hawaii In the time of the monarchy, coming over first at the age of 18, with Pre? ident Joseph F. Smith to establish the Mormon church in Hawaii. "Always after that time," continued the senator, "my father kept a warm spot in his heart for Hawaii, eagerly looking forward to his return visits. He knew the queen well, and had th-a greatest respect and liking for her and he rivaled Mark Twain in his praise of the Islands and the hospi tality of the Hawaiian people." Senator King will not remain with the congressional party during its eu tire visit. He will go to the Volcano but expects to return Tuesday, leav ing for the mainland by the next boat not accept unjust terms' Peace Terms Doubtful The peace terms which Lenine men tioned are practically the same ones that were drafted for and adopted by the Workmen's and Soldiers' Council several weeks ago. Following Lenine, Trotsky is re ported to have spoken to the council yesterday and to hate further out lined a program. Included In this was the abolition of capital punish ment and the death penalty, the Im mediate release of all political pris oners arrested and incarcerated under orders from Kerensky, the arrest of Kerensky himself and the arrest, con viction and punishment of all of those who aided him in making his escape. ' "Our first act," said Trotsky, ' will be to offer to the nations a democratic peace based upon a policy of no an nexation and no Indemnities." f Friction in Congress : Not all Is harmony in the new con gress. Petrograd despatches said that the municipal council of peasants' delegates and the Maximalist fac tion refuse to submit to Bolshe-Vikl authority and declare that they will take an appeal to the nation. 1 s t A despatch to Reuters in London said that General Arhipoff, onei of the Russian commanders, had been ar rested..; v.

M LOSER It R UJIGATION Inter-Island Demurrer and Mo tion to Dissolve Injunction Overruled By Judge Ashford Two important points were lost by the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co. in its litigation with the public utili ties commission when Circuit Judge Ashford this morning denied its mo tion to dissolve a temporary Injunc tion in favor of the commission, and overruled its demurrer to the injunc tion. Appeals were noted by tho: steamship company in both instances,! an interlocutory appeal having been i allowed by the court on the demurrer decision. j The temporary injunction enjoins: the steamship company .from disobey- ing an order of the commission, issued ? on September 28. i commanding; the t company to return to the schedule of rates effective in 1916., The company has already appealed to the supremecourt from the com mission's decision, and Judge Ashford j said this morning that he did not feel he should be called upon to decide! any of the questions now before the! higher court. j 'There is no oubt," said Judge Ash-' ford, "that I had jurisdiction to act in ! this matter and to issue the restrain- ing order and temporary injunction, f I also had jurisdiction to refuse to do so. ; I might have demaded that the aeienaant De neara, and it "may nave' been a judicial blunder to issue the writ without the defendant having been heard." The court ordered stricken that por tion of the restraining order that, he said, might be considered mandatory. This, however, does hot affect the meaning of the order. The motion to dissolve was then overruled. The demurrer to the injunction was then submitted without argument, the court allowing the steamship company , an interlocutory appeal to the supreme court. The second contingent of outside island national guardsmen arrived in ! Honolulu this morning on three Inter- Island steamers, and after being 'given; breakfast at the city restaurants, and: needed camp equipment, they en-J trained for camp L.iuuoKaiani ai Kawailoa.
