This action tn' en following tho protest ogainst i-i electric light rate mado by Tho Ivcrtiscr last month and backed up oy complaint from tho public. When Manager Make assumed charge of the company a few weeks ago he an. nounced that changes in rates would probably be made, "The announcement today is in keeping with tho new policy of our said Manner Blako jestcrdny.

The most objectionable feature of til company's former rates was tho minimum charge of two dollars per month. This has been cut exactly iu two and will now be one dollar per month. As this cocrs about S000 watts it is said that it is as much light as many of the company's customers require. The poorer residents of tho city will reap a big saving from this reduction, It is claimed. The minimum rate for horso power installed has also been reduced from ono dollar per month, as at present, to fifty cents per month The notice as isued by the Hawaiian Company jestcrday is as follows: Notico to Consumers.

"The Hawaiinn L'leetric Compnuy, Limited, hereby gives notice that it has put into effect as of May 1, 1913, a reduced rate for electricity furnished for lighting purposes tho amounting to 10 2 3 per cent ot its former ntc, in addition to which a discount of per cent on each bill will bo allowed if pavment Is mado on or before the 15th of tho "Hereafter primary rate "of 12t rents, instead of 13 cents per 1000 watts will apply until the total consumption for the month shall equal nn nerape of 2000 v.atts per lamp or eipmalcnt, installed. For current ued in excels of total consumption equal to an aerago of 2000 watts per month per 50-watt lamp, or equivalent, installed, secondary rate of tents per 1000 watts will apply. Under this rating each consumer will pay 23 cents for eacli 50-watt lamp installed, or its equivalent beforo tho 0 cent secondary rate applies. "It must be borne in mind In considering rates for electric current that it is uot possible to storo current in Jho way that water or gas, for instance, may be stored and held! ready for use. The electric plant Itself must take the place of a reservoir nnd consequently a plant ablo to meet tho totnl maximum demand must bo kept installed and ready for service, for this reason chiefly tho factor of demand is of paramount importance iu any method of fixing rates for electric current, "Tho minimum charge of $2 per month has also been reduced to $1 per month.

At the nen Mto this minimum charge will cover a uso of 8000 watts per month, which is as much as many customers use. 'As stated above a discount of 5 per cent win tie allowed on all bills, including the minimum of $1 ner month. if paid on or beforo tho 13th ol tho next month, "In presenting tho new schedule of rates to its customers tho Hawaiian Electric Company deems it desirable that tho public be informed as to certain reasons for the common practise uj v.vvmv luuijiaiiii's ui ciiurgiug primary and secondary rates based upon both demand and consumption instead of upon consumption alone. "Tho public demands that li eleo. trie company shall hao in reserve at nil times sufficient power to tako caro of the demand which it may placo ujuu luu company.

"The greater part of the cost of supplying electric sen ice arises from tho fixed charges on tho investment, and these are practically tho same whether little or much electricity is being used. Consequently when, tho volume of business is mcli that certain fixed charges uro seemed per lamp, the company is in ft position to sell its excess product at a reduced rate. "The greater the demand customer makes upon the company, tho greater the investment, and tho greater tho expense to tho company in being iu a position to supply his demand. "Although the mat biuery necessary to guarantee this tontinuous service, may bo idle the greater part of tho time, it is at all times available nnd should be permitted to earn tho charges which accumulate against tho investment. "As in any meter svbtem, tho consumer pays only for the actual current consumed, the total averago of 2000 watts per month per 30 watt lamp installed simply spcdfvmg tho amount of electricity to he tlie primary ratet of 12K cents before tho 0 cent secondary' rate applus.

"Notice is also gncn that the minimum power rate lm from H.00 per month per horsepower installed to 50 cuits month per iiunci; anu nut a 5 per cent, discount will hereatter bo allowed on bills to and including oOOO kilowatts per month if pavpieut is made on or the 15th of tho next month. "Tho company furtl cr desires to announce, in view of the change of its control and management, that tho reduction of 10 2 i cent, in tho rates heretofore harged and tho establishment of per cnt. discount for prompt luvment is mado as a first step in it, policy of affording the publn nossiblo service at as low rates as are practicable."

Today (lenernl Pershing, accompanied by Colonel Swift and a detachment of cavalry, rodo out of tho main Jolo gate en route to a conference with Amil. Ho will bo gone fortwo dnjs, and upon his return to Jolo, Amil vyill havo signified his willingness to surrender or troops will immediately taHe tho r.ol.l to bring in tho bandjt nnd his followers, dead. or lehiM1 ftie" re'stilt of Lieutenant Whitney's journey to ho went to porsuade tho bandit chief to abandon his foolhardly, His mission was unsuccessful, as tho renegado expressed his as. surnuco that tho Americans would not attempt to disarm him and his followers. Amil wore a magnificent barong, which ho offered to exchange with Whitney for a revolver, Lieutenant Whitney and tho Sultau ponies 'are ruined in Second, no ono who over played it for any length of time failed to break an arm, a skull, a leg, or a collar bone.

Thus thero aro two reasons why it will never supplant baseball as tho great American game. Tho international match ngilnst the four led by Captain F. Cr. Kltson will bo played Juno 10 to Juno 14. Last ear tho Americans won.

Whitney is a dashing daredovil player, who rides his pony into anything of consequences, at tho same time jelling like a locoed of Suln, who accompanied him on his pcaco mission, were both unarmed. After the failuro of the first coufcrenco both remained around Bunbtin thirty-six hours iu an effort to gain another conference with Amil, but wero unsuccessful. During the conference Amil mndo a proposition to Lieutenant Whitney, which It was necessary to submit to flovernor Gordon. For this reason Whitney 'and tho Sultan mado all haste to Jolo after second conference failed, and General Pershing was immediately telegraphed for. Uencral Pershing is said to bo completely exnsperated at the refusal of Amil to Biirrendcr.

Ho is well with conditions throughout the province with tho exception of tho Jolo district, nnd is determined to set this problem straight before the expiration of his tour of duty in August. Tho word has been quietly passed among the troops that if General Pershing's mission fails they may expect a lively set to with Amil's armed men, who number almost a thousand. It begins to look like real trouble with tho remaining outlaws. Every effort has been mado to bring them in peacefully, and vast majority of thoso who originally fortified themselves in Mount Pagsak havo their arms and returned to peaceful pursuits. It has been tho plan of tho authorities to take the field against tho straggling outlaws, mid tl.o effort now being mado by General Perishing to effect the surrender of Amil will bo the lat peaceful act of tho disarmament.

Absolute cues of gralt, in addition to thoio which hvo been reported on in the oast, were dis covered by the county Intcstlgstlon Inst Saturday. They involve an amount of about five thousand dollars. Of this two or three thousand dollars was taken in connection with the payment of the salaries of the officers -who served at tlie time when there was a double force, one set of officers being appointed by the supervisors and the other by tho sheriff. Subsequently the legislature passed an act providing for tho payment of those who had served on tho extra set of officers, and lt was in paying these claims that, defalcations took place.

James Webster was appointed 'foreman of the jury. Posecutor Breckona will handle the jury the first few days, taking up several alleged graft matters. It is believed that several additional charges will be brought against this time under the act which provides a penalty for false certification by an auditor.

It docs not seem likely that indictments will be returned at this session against any of the very most prominent county officials, although a couple of less distinguished heads seem likely to Official Directory, Tho list of witnesses subpoenaed the grand jury is a large and select one.
