With a very heavy consignment of
mail the 5. S. Siberia arrived off the

from San Francisco. She left San Fran
cisco March % and experienced head

sacks of mail matter for Honolulu.
This consignment represents eleven
days time.
The vessel brought a good sized
crowd of passengers for Honolulu,
about SO cabin passengers arriving for
this port. She has good sized crowd
Of through passengers for various pla-
ces in the Orient.
Among the through passengers is Mrs.
Lloyd Griscomb, wife of the American
Minister at Toxic. Mrs. Griscomb is
going out to Toxic to her husband. She
was called home suddenly by the seri-
GUS illness of her mother, Mrs. E. Gron-
son. The latter is going out to Yoko-
hama with her daughter.
John Mclean is going out to Toxic
to rejoin the diplomatic corps of the

there was a large crowd aboard the

The vessel carries 8, 500 tons of through
cargo. Much of this shipment consists
of war material and supplies for the
Japanese. There are 200 tons of lead
aboard. There are also $4,000 sacks of

BALLOuIS TELEPHONE

Jduge Gear this morning heard testi-
mony in the case of S. NJ. Ballou
against the Mutual Telephone Com
pany in which Ballou has a temporary
injunction restraining the company
from interfering with his telephone SER
vice. Former superintendent Cassidy
was one of the witnesses. He was call
ed as an expert on the subject of wir-
ing. The company cut off Ballou's resi-
dence service because it objected to the
wiring done for him by electricians not
in the employ of the company.
Cassidy gave testimony as to the con-
ditions of the wiring at the Ballou resi-
dence, tending to show that defective
wiring at the Ballou residence would
seriously interfere with the company's
system. Ballou asked for a desk tele-
phone and when the company failed to
put it in he put one in himself and con-
nected it with the telephone wires. The
company then threatened to disconnect
him, and the suit is over the question
of his right to do so.
1T dosn't require much technical skill
to put in telephone" was one of Cas-
sidy's answers to questions put by Lew
is on cross-examination, you can see
that from the character of men who
are doing the work"
Cassidy also gave testimony as to
why he left the telephone company
He said that Godfrey Brown was the
whole thing" Brown was president,
manager, board of directors and every
thing else, and Cassidy didn't seem to
get along. He finally admitted that he
had been invited to resign.
Judge Gear adjourned the hearing to
two this afternoon.

THE BAND IS
THE THING

Joe Cohen, who has a plan to take the
Hawaiian Band on a tour of the states
as a means of advertising Hawaii has
this to say of his plan.
1T is now up to the people of Homo
lulu to do something by way of ad-
vertising the islands and the only way
to do it properly and for little cost is
to adopt the plan as l have outlined it.
IF l can carry out my promises it
will certainly be a good thing not only
for the band boys themselves, but for
the business interests of Hawaii for
the advertising that would be derived
for the organization would be far
reaching. 1t would reach press and
public alike and the free write-ups
which would appear in all the main
land papers would be worth dollars for
every cent expended.
1T is fortunate that Madame Slap
offski is here at this time and that 1
have been able TO arrange for her act
ing as the prima donna OF the band.
BILLED as the Hawaiian prima donna
she would cause more talk of our ISL
ands than a dozen exhibits such as was
proposed.
THE unique feature of the Quintet
and the military character of the band
all told would make an attraction equal
in its drawing powers to the best or
ganization in America. My plan is
to bill the show in an up to date man
ned with plenty of good show paper
and colored Autographs, all bringing the
Hawaiian feature prominently before
the public. Again I propose to play
at the lowest possible prices in ,"e
largest pavilions, so as to get the big
gest crowds.
Il will look after the salaries and
maintenance of the band, hold them
intact and return them to Honolulu so
that they can continue as in the past
the leading attraction for the tourists.
I'm the meantime the band is self
sustaining and t..e government relieved
Of the expense until their return,
Il ask however of the public that
they put up the transportation to St.
Louis and return as a subsidy with
the understanding that the amount be
returned if the tour is successful"

NO SUPPLIES LANDED

The transport Buford was unable to
land her supplies at Midway so the
cable station employees will have to
go without mail and delicacies for a
while longer. The Buford arrived off
Midway yesterday morning from Ho-
nolulu. She had on board 1000 pounds
of various supplies for the cable sta
ton. The vessel lowered her boats
and had the crews start toward Mid
way for the purpose of ascertaining
whether a landing could be made. The
wind was blowing very strong and the
indications when the boats were lower
ed were that the stuff could not be
landed. 1t soon became evident that
the landing could not be effected so the
boats returned to the transport and in
the afternoon, the vessel steamed on
toward Manila with the cable supplies
and mail aboard.
1t is not improbable that the U. S. S.
Iroquois may be sent to Midway at
once for the purpose of taking sup
plies to the cable station people. The
Iroquois is now in commission and can
start on the trip in a few days. She
may go out at the end Of the week.
When she does Mr.. Frazier one of the
operators at the local cable station will
probably be sent out on her to Mid
way.
