Tho C. J. McCarthy Democratic
Club, .which was organized last night
at a meeting of prominent Democrats
hold at tho Waverloy building, Is bus
ily at work today preparing to start
a vigorous campaign for tho nomina
tion of Colonel McCarthy for Dele
gate to Congress.
At Intervals during tho morning
thero have' been conferences between
Colonel McCarthy and various of his
supporters, including Sheriff Jarrett,
Jim Coke, Fred Weed and Bertram
Itivenburgh, at which ways and means
have been discussed and various plans
formulated for inaugurating tho cam
paign. Dr. Norgaard, Territorial veterin
arian, turned in a partial report on
tho condition of tho ddiry herds o
Oahu to the Board of Agriculture yes
terday afternoon.
His figures Bhow that 1D7S cows
were tested and that out of that num
ber' 1488 passed as free from tubercu
losis. Ninety cows were condemned
as diseased. Tho veterinarian had
tho following to say in his report:
"Tho work of testing the dairy
herds is progressing rapidly, and is
meeting with no opposition on tho
part of owners. Less difficulty Is ex
perienced this year in getting owners
to dispose of their reacting animals
Immediately.
"In fact they now appear anxious
to get rid at once of any source of
Infection, and to have and maintain
herds freo from tuberculosis. It has

Tho seventeen Russians who arrived
from the Coast in tho Manchuria ten
days ago arc still being hold at the
federal immigrant station and, accord
Ing to local gossip, may bo held there
until further instructions are recolved
from Washington, D. C, by Federal
Superintendent of Immigration Hal
eey. This was denied by Superintendent
Halsoy, who says that tho examina
tion of the Russians has not yet been
completed. Dr. Victor S. Clark of
tho territorial immigration bureau dis
claims nny knowledge regarding tho
matter but attributes tho delay to a
probablo rush of work at tho federal
station.
Dr. Clark and Superintendent Halsoy
held a conference regarding the matter
this morning.

for defeating the McCarthy campaign
were informally discussed.

took up the matter of tho Palolo water

OLEO" ARRESTS
MAY GOME TODAY
That thoro will bo some arrests in
connection with tho oleomargarine
sales in this city, is tho 'opinion of
food commissioner Blanchard, who
this afternoon intends to test out tho
territorial law on tho subject.
Although no federal license Is ne
cessary for restaurant keopors, who
provide oleomargarlno with meals,
thero is a section in tho law which
covers gross cheat, which It is said
can reach tho dispensers of food and
deUcncIes. ,
The county attorney has been con
sulted in the matter, and it Is certain
that some nrrerts will bo made in tho
near future.

The idea of sharing profits of the
sugar industry with tho employes of
the plantations Is not a new one in
Hawaii, although many persons
doubtless hav0 that idc. The late II.
P. Baldwin was perhaps the first
among the plantation heads to advo
cate the plan, and he put It Into ef
fect on some of his- plantations some
six years ago. The practice, however,
has not been generally adopted until
recently, but now indications point to
the system's soon becoming univer
sal Tho Alexander & Baldwin system
did not provide for tho general field
laborers, only applying It to employes
on salaries of $50 a month or over. It
was with a view to correcting the ob
vious injustice of this that J. P. Cooko
of this firm first proposed the plan of
bonuses for laborers which was adopt
ed and recommended by the Hawaii
an Sugar Planters' Association a few J
months ago.

age price of sugar for the year, to all
their employes receiving over $21 per
month, tho same as for the laborers
receiving under this wage. Copies of
this resolution were asked for later
by the directors of Oahu and Pioneer
plantations, and a similar system in
augurated by thoin a few days later.
It seems entirely probable that all of
the other companies In the Territory
will soon follow suit in this regard.
The A & B. System.
The Alexander & Baldwin bonus
system for Its higher paid employes
differs from the moro recently adopt
ed one as mentioned abovo. The em
ployes, of the A. & B. plantations are
paid as a bonus a percentage of the
net. profits, as declared by each Indi
vidual company.
J. P. Cooke gave an Interesting in
terview on this subject this morning.
"Mr. II. p. Baldwin," he said,
"started this profit-sharing system for
employes receiving $50 per month or
over, six years ago', with the Maui
Agricultural Compc and thc Putin
ene mill. Later this wuu extended to
other plantations.
PUBLIC IRKS
Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell this morning signed
the contracts for the construction of
the Knhanu, Ashford and Ptiahalo
street sewers. Tho contract was
awarded last month to tho Lord
Young Engineering Company, and the
price is $1713.
The superintendent announced this
morning that tho balance of tho pipe
needed for tho King street water
mains Is on hand now. The eighteen
Inch mains for Boretnnla street
should bo hero soon. 1
Over on Hawaii, the Klhalani road
contract has been planned, and the
job of grading the thoroughfare that
leads to tho mauka homesteads is es
timated to bo worth $GC0O. '
Marston Campbell said thls morn
ing that tho reservoirs In Nuuanu val
ley are holding a lot of water. Tho
largo dam has thirty-two feet of
water In It, while thoro is seventeen
feet of aqua pura in dam No. 1. Nos.
2 and 3 aro full, nnd thoro is an am
ple supply of water available.
L
It Is expected that within a short
tlmo from now til tho land that Is
needed for tho new Girls' Industrial
School, at rilimoo, will bo available.
Thoro aro a fow small lots that aro
needed, and tho attorney general has
been working on tho matter for somo
tlmo. ; However, it is thought that
tho last lot has been arranged for,
which would mako the whole largo
block of land complete.
At tho old school, on King street,
there aro now flfty-ono girls. Tho last
report from tho superintendent shows"
thnt tho conduct of all the girls Is
good. Thero hns been no troublo of
any sort for somo tlmo.
Tho now school at Pllimoo is to cost
$10,000, and tho plans ahow that a fine
structuro will bo erected.
Superintendent Popo has recolved
an invitation to attend tho dedication
oxerclses of tho Now York State Edu

"For Puuncno i per cent of the net
profits are set aside each year for this
purpose. Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar sets aside 1 per cent; Maui
Agricultural and McBrydo each sets
apart 2 por cent; and Kahuku, 3 per
cent. The difference in proportion
set aside is intended to offset tho dif
ference in earning power of tho dif
ferent plantations. As a matter of
fact, Kahuku employes, with their 3
per cent, do not faro so well as Putin
one nt 1 per cent."
Mr. Cooke stated that under this ar
rangement the bonus received by em
ployes enjoying those benefits has
varied from 10 to as high as 27 per
cent Jn recent years. "Of course," ho
added, "this has been higher, perhaps,
than on a long time average, for
sugar prices have been high during
tho last year or two. It has meant,
however, that a man receiving $100
per month salary has also had from
10 to 27 per cent of this amount added
to his pay each month In form of
bonus."
