EXPORTER SAYS HAWAIISUGAR MAY BE CHEAPER
Islanders Pleased with Electionof Famous Yachtsman
as Representative
K. E. Paxton, secretary of the Alex-ander & Baldwin company, the larg-est sugar exporting concern on theHawaiian Islands, is in Los Angoles fora few days on his way to his home inHonolulu after having been in NewYork city for a month on business. Mr.Paxton is accompanied by his wife.
Mr. Paxton is, just now, to use hisown statement, feeling extremely joy-ful over the fact that Hawaii went Re-publican at the last election, returningJ. Kalani Aloe to Washington as rep-resentative of the islands in congress.Mr. Paxton states that Mr. Aloe, whois known to the yacht lovers of South*crn California as the man who com-manded the yacht "Hawaii" in the re-cent transpacific yacht races from LosAngeles to Honolulu, is one of thegreatest statesmen the islands has pro-duced, ever on the lookout to furtherthe interests of his country and hispeople. He is, according to Mr. Pax-ton, well liked in Washington and hadvery little opposition for re-eloction.
• \u25a0 Mr. Paxton, contrary to the opinionexpressed by several other Hawailanswho have recently been in Los Angeles,does not believe that the sugar indus-try will ever be replaced or evenhampered by any other agriculturalpursuits which are being introducedin the islands.. "Sugar," said Mr. Paxton last even-ing at the Alexandria, "is, and always
will be, the chief agricultural pursuitof tho Hawaiian islands. Other indus-tries along agricultural lines may beintroduced, in fact a number are be-ing experimented with at present andwe all hope the cultivation of thethings experimented with will be suc-cessful, but sugar will maintain itssupremacy."
. riNKArriiES and rubber"Take, for instance, the pineapple,"
continued Mr. Paxton. "The cultiva-tion of that fruit has passed the ex-perimental stage—it is, in other words,an established Industry. Yet the su-gar industry has not suffered. It has,in fact, grown. , .
"At the present time there are ex-periments being carried on In the is-lands with cotton and rubber. The re-sults of these experiments are encour-aging and the time is looked forwardto when Hawaii will come to the frontas a producer of rubber and cotton as•well as pineapples and sugar.
"The cotton being experimented withis of the finest kind, the well knownSea Island variety, and will if success!ful prove .- of -. value to the is-lands. The Industry is, however, asyet in the experimental stage and noone can predict the outcome. ,
"The same" is true of the rubber in-dustry. Of course experiments !withrubber, owing to the nature of the in-dustry, have been in progress for sometime. -A great many trees have beenplanted and some of these will beready for tapping within a year .ortwo. It depends on the quality andquantity of the sap obtained when thistapping is done whether the rubber In-dustry will flourish on the islands.
"The sugar industry is in a veryflourishing conidtion. We have beenreceiving good prices for our product,but expect these prices to be lowerduring the coming year. That doesnot," continued Mr. Paxton in answerto the query as to whether low priceswould affect the high cost of living,"mean that the retail price of sugarwill come down. It is the result of anoverproduction In Europe and a fall-Ing off of consumption of cane sugar.The retail prices will remain practi-cally the same."

fore the police commission at the reg-
ular meeting- of that body tonight.

said, alleging general incompetoncy,
lack of memory and making a mis-
statement to the police commissioners.The Harris charges are not connectedin any way with those to be preferredby Dean.

That he is incompetent; that he istpmpuramentally unfit for the positionwhich he now holds; that he has lackof foresight; that he rendered Irregu-lar reports to the police commission;ttiat he is guilty of dereliction of duty;Improper conduct to inferior officers;
I unbecoming conduct toward A. W. L.Dunn and untruthfulness. In a state-ment last night Dean admitted thathis charges would be those stated, butdeclined to enter into details. He de-nied that he would be represented be-fore the commission by an attorney.

now prepared in full and will be pre-sented to the commission tonight.
