Yew Char, local legislator, and Mrs. Char as they returned to Honolulu yesterday aboard the President Hoover after spending 65 days in an extensive tour of the Orient as the leader of a group of local Chinese students and educators. The swing through more than a dozen Oriental cities was made partly for pleasure and partly to instill a closer understanding of Oriental affairs in the minds of the young student members of the party.

The tour was the second Char has conducted from here. (Advertiser photo.) An earnest young soldier in that small battalion of advanced physicists, led by the world's Einsteins and Millikans who are trying to reveal to mankind the nature of the universe around him, passed through Honolulu yesterday. He is Dr. Victor Neher, "faculty member at the California Institute of Technology and an associate of Dr. Robert Millikan in that famous scientist's researches into the phenomenon of the cosmic ray.

Neher was aboard the President Van Buren with his wife en route to India and Australia for advanced study of ray activity in those countries. With him. too, established beneath a sheltering tent on the liner's flying bridge, was a complex battery of instruments for recording the activity of those mysterious emanations from outer space. Although a worldwide survey of cosmic ray phenomena at sea level has already been completed by scientists who have journeyed into all the oceans of the world for that purpose, Ne-her's instrument registers from every angle batwecn the opposite horizons the frequency and intensity of those currents of invisible and perpetual force whose nature is still unknown to science. MAKES RAYS FLY It was an awesome litter of boxed coils and dials.

On the top of the heap is a slab of lead an inch thick through which the rays first strike, causing a slow but actual disintegration of the metal. It is this process of disintegration which causes the cosmic sparks to fly into the recording instrument beneath, through which Neher has ascertained that they reach the earth or, in this case, the deck of a liner's bridge with a frequency of 40 per minute. A faint metallic clicking was plainly audible, coming a little less swiftly than the striking seconds of a great clock.

Admitting there was little prospect of immediate settlement after Post-Intelligencer executives refused to arbitrate, the American Newspaper Guild announced it was publishing a morning daily "free of propaganda," which the "Guild Striker" had previously carried against William Randolph Hearst. Guild executives said the paper had already reached 25,000 copies circulation, selling for five cents a copy and carrying considerable advertising. Guild members declared a strike last week following the dismissal of two fellow workers from the P-I staff.

Hearst cabled from Rome a statement that he had lost a million dollars operating the Post-Intelligencer through the depression. "If Communists want to relieve me of that cost and also the duty of supplying jobs, it is not an unmixed evil," the publisher said. "I will save money.

According to Miss Russill, Hawaii has the next to the largest sales record for sprinkler, in spite of "liquid sunshine."

"Palama district is the best digging," one veteran sewer man disclosed. "We generally pick up quite a lot of pin money from those sewers, since they contain the most dirt. Strangely enough, we seldom find anything but a few stray coins at River street, although it is a busy sewer district." The worker explained that everything from buttons to half dollars can be picked up in "Scratch." "Back in '23 we had a lot of excitement," he reminisced.

"It was then that we found a couple of human bodies washed down near King street." Mark Roebuck, foreman of the Ala Moana pumping station, explained that "Scratch" is not an easy pastime, and that many of the men have received bad wounds when they descended into the manholes to retrieve the floats and brushes. "But they still comb the sewers for money and jewels," said. "Even if they often get fooled with five-and-ten cent store specimens." -4-. First Aid!

The last group of delegates from outside islands arrived here by steamer yesterday morning. Grand Delegate Julio Guzman will open the convention at 8 p.m. and deliver his greetings. It is believed messages from President Manuel L. Quezon, of the Philippine commonwealth, who is honorary president of the order, and Domingo Ponce, grand master of the Legionarios, with headquarters in Manila, will be read at the opening session.

CHAIRMAN FROM OUTSIDE Following the grand delegate's greetings, a convention chairman will be elected preparatory to the annual election of officers of the supreme council of Hawaii. Oahu delegates seem to favor the choosing of one of the delegates from the outside islands to preside over the election. The Rev. E. A.

Centeno from Maui, and Ignacio Vjllaluz from the Big Island, are considered the strongest contenders for convention chairman. For the highest position in Hawaii, that of grand delegate, three candidates are favored. It is being predicted, however, that Grand Secretary S. M. Palomares will retain his seat for another term.

RADIO BROADCAST The second day session of delegates will reopen tomorrow at 1 p.m. The constitution and by-laws of the supreme council will be discussed, and amendments will be presented. At 3:30 a special program will be broadcast over station KGU, in which a delegate from each lodge will give greetings on behalf of his constituents. A specially organized band under the direction of Severino Pulido will play during the broadcast, along with the Fifteenth Coast Artillery band of Ft. Kamehame-ha.

Immediately after the one-hour radio program, the delegates will tour places of interest in the city. At 6:30 p.m. a banquet will be held at the- Young hotel in honor of the delegates. The convention will officially end with an inaugural ball Monday night at the Cotton club in honor of the newly elected officers of the supreme council. A short program will precede the installation which will be presided over by high dignitaries of the fraternity.

Tax Appeal Court Hears Case On Maui (Special to The Advertiser) WAILUKU, Maui, Aug. 19 The circuit court room of the second circuit, was occupied yesterday by the tax appeal court in the appeal by S. H. Kress and company who claimed their new store and warehouse had been assessed too high by the Maui county assessor. After considerable testimony the court adjourned to look" over the property, and the case will be completed when further evidence is presented in Honolulu before the court.

Arriving by plane yesterday morning, were Ray J. O'Brien, presiding judge; Andrew Adams and A. Lester Marks, members, with C. Dudley Lews from the attorney general's off.ee, R. O.

COUPLE WED IN JAIL, MONTEREY, a 1. (U.P.) When a San Francisco couple, seeking marriage, asked Judge Baugh the whereabouts of the most historic place in the city in which to be married, he suggested the front cell of the city jail.

They accepted. The jail, recently remodeled, dates from 1848. will send up experimental baloons which he says have already supplied accurate recording of stratospheric ray activity at an altitude of more than 90,000 feet in other parts of the world. India was chosen for Neher's most extensive experiments on this voyage, he said, because science has already discovered that cosmic ray activity is vastly slower there for some mysterious reason, and thus allows greater accuracy in observation.

The scientist's job at present is to find out what the rays are, not what they will do.

It is a case of cause and effect with exclusive emphasis on cause at the present stage of the game. Dr. Neher did venture to repeat a prevalent scientific opinion that the rays have something to do with the formation of those invisible clouds high in the upper air, but what other direct effect they may have upon the world's weather as yet entirely unknown.

Earlier the rescue squads had relayed the word to the surface "we hear their voices." At this news relatives of the prisoners believed all had been found alive.

Wives of the dead men collapsed in hysteria when they learned the truth. The entrapped men had been barricaded, according to expectations. However, they said they left their dug-out several times in search of water and better air. Darneron and Stoner died while attempting to reach the air shaft. McCann said "I 'died" another death every time the machinery stopped.

I feared you had given us up." McCann said Sexton had been unconscious much of the time and was undoubtedly dying when rescued. The men were trapped after they entered the newly reopened mine and set off dynamite blasts. A subsequent fire and crumbled shaft cut off their escape.
