FIND TROUBLE IN
LOCATING HOMES
Great Many Visitors Coming TO
Educational Conference
GUESTS MUST Be LODGED
1t Is Thought Citizens Will Open Their
Homes to the Educators.
Ogden Party VIII Stay
at Hillman.

DR.. ]. Fl. Phillips is receiving replies
daily to invitations extended to promi-
nent educators and those interested in
education, to attend the conference for
education in the south. which will be
held in Birmingham on April 90, 81 and
%. He is of the opinion that the
attendance in Birmingham will be the
largest at any conference ever held.
The local committee is finding a great
deal of trouble in locating homes for
the visitors So far only comparatively
few of the visitors have been located. All
of the hotels and a majority of the board
ing houses report that they have received
calls for more than they can accommo-
date. 1t is thought, however, that the
citizens of Birmingham will throw open
their homes and care for all of the visi-
tors who come to attend the conference.
To Care for Guests.
The committee on home entertainment
of which Miss Willie Allen is the chair
man, has decided to adopt the card in
dex system for caring for the guests. In
this way the visitors will be assigned to
the homes in the city without the least
confusion. The host will be requested to
extend an invitation in writing to as
many guests as they can care for, and
for this reason 1t is important that the
Miss Aliens committee should be notified
Immediately.
The guests of President Robert C. Og-
den who will come from New York to
Birmingham in a special train will prob
ably all be cared for at the Hote. Hill
man, an entire floor having been en-
gagged by President Ogden.
DR.. Phillips states that large number
will come to Birmingham from Georgia,
Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi the Caro-
linas Louisiana and other states in adj
dtion to those from the north and west.
The Special Fare.
The special rate OF one far plus 25 cents
to Birmingham and return On account of
the conference offered by the Southeast
ern Passenger association will prove ar
inducement to many to come.
These rates will apply to points on the
following lines.

Weather Report.
Birmingham, Friday, April 8, 1904
The two storms over the west yester-
day have coalesced and formed one OF
considerable intensity now covering the
central and upper Mississippi valley,
with its center in Iowa. In its southeast
ern quadrant, embracing the east gulf
and south Atlantic states, numerous
thunder storms have occurred, while
showers were general in all the southern
states from east Texas and Arkansas to
the Atlantic coast. On the western and
northwestern sides of this storm and en-
bracing the valleys of the Missouri and
Platte rivers, snow is falling, with
temperature of freezing and below as
far south as central Kansas and western
Missouri. Colder weather prevails over
all the country from the Mississippi river
to the Rockies. These colder conditions
will be felt in Alabama tonight and Sat
urday probably attended by frost.

PARTY HERE

There is a very distinguished party of
Japanese aboard the Siberia. 1t in
cludes Baron X. Kaneko, japanese
Commissioner to the United States sent
especially in the interest of explaining
the causes that led Japan to begin tho
war and her attitude in it's prosecution;
X. Takahashi, vice-president of the
Bank of Japan who goes to England in
the interest of his bank; and Captain
NJ. Asaoka of the Imperial Japanese
Navy, Assistant Superintendent Of the
Board of Ship Building, who is on his
way to Great Britain to superintend the
construction Of some warships being
built in British yards for Japan.
Local Japanese appointed "a commit
tee consisting of Mr. Shioda of the Kei
hin Bank, Mr.. Kishi, manager of the
Honolulu branch of the Y Yokohama Spe-
Gle Bank and Mr.. Matsuoka, to have
charge of the entertainment of these
visitors during their stay here. They
visitors during their stay here. They
were taken driving during the forenoon.
This afternoon they will be at Moch-
izuki where the officers of the japanese
Central League and some others have
been invited to meet them. 1t is eX-
pected that Baron Kaneko will make
an address in which he will say some-
thing of his mission abroad.
The distinguished visitors We're the
guests of Consul General Mkt Saito for
a part of the day.
. Captain Asaoka, speaking for the
Baron Kaneko and Mr.. Takahashi, as
well as for himself, said of the progress
of the war: ION February our fleet
attacked the Russians al Port Arthur,
disabling the Czarovitch and the Retvi-
Fan and doing other damage. Next
morning a shell from the heaviest gun
of the Japanese fleet struck the forth
fications within Port Arthur and dam
aged the dry dock. UP to the time
that we left Japan on February a. we
had sunk or disabled eleven vessels Of
the Russian fleet. We had lost four
officers and twenty men. There had
been no battle between evenly matched
fleets, the Russians remaining under
the protection of their fortihcations.
The rumor of the bombardment Of Ha-
kodate was rumor merely"

TO STOP AlACHL.

The return of Adachi this morning
developed another sensation in the FAM
Gus japanese conspiracy cases. The
same steamer that took United States
Marshal Hendry to Yokohama took in
her steerage a man from Honolulu
whose mission was to prevent the ex-
tradition of Adachi According to state
ments made by the Yokohama police to
the marshal he offered bride of two
hundred dollars to police, to let Adachi
go free. The man who made the long
trip for this purpose gave the name of
Henry Bode," and is said to have con-
Quoted a hotel here at one time.
Bode travelled European steerage on
the America Maru, on which Hendry
went. He did not return and is be-
lieved to be still in Yokohama. He is
said to have been sent by parties here
who are interested in seeing that Ada
chi did not get back here.
AS stated in The Star some time ago,
Adachi is believed TO have been assist
ed and practically forced out of the
Territory by persons interested in his
being out of the way He is believed to
know more than any other witness
about the organization and workings of
the Ten Dollar conspiracy club. Imme-
diately after his arrival this morning
Adachi was taken to District Attorney
Breckons' office, and he was with him
all morning. Breckons advised Adacht
not to allow himself to be interviewed,
and declined to say anything about the
Bode incident.
Adachi is looking stronger than when
he left and appeared to be in cheerful
mood as he met former acquaintances.
He said he was glad to be back. AdaChi
is ready and willing to tell all he
knows, and it is predicted that there
will be some more startling disclosures
before the end of the cases is reached.
Marshal Hendry received every posi-
BILE assistance from the Japanese Off
Gals at Yokohama and Toxic. S. Chin
da, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs,
gave the matter his personal attention,
and gave as a reason the wish of his
government to do something in return
for what Hendry did for the Japanese

ed from Yokohama whittier he went to
apprehend S. Adachi who is wanted

cabin passengers on the vessel. The
japanese government provided Marshal

The Puma Sugar Co. has filed an
amendment to it's charter in the Trea-
surer's office. 1t merely changes the
clauses relating to officers required by
the corporation. These are to be a

According to news brought today by
the Siberia Jack London for the Hearst
papers, Mckenzie for the London
Times and Hare for Leslie's are the
only correspondents to reach Korea.
The others are held up in Toxic wait
ing the commencement of actual land
hOsulities.
An answer was filed by Holmes &
Stanley this morning to the libel Of
Dwyer and others against the bark
Ivanhoe. Captain Grant denies all of
the sailors charges Of cruelty, as well
as their statements as to what is owing
to them, and alleges that the libenants
are not, as they claim, able seamen,
but shipped as such without having had
any knowledge of their duties.
The Siberia brought between 10000
and $4,000 bags of Japanese rice, which
is estimated to be about a months sup
ply for these Islands of this kind Of rice
There has been no shortage of Japanese
foodstuffs, it is said, only a slight
slight shortage Of Japanese rice, which
some of the Japanese prefer. But there
has been an entirely adequate supply Of
island rice all the time, and some Jazz
anese prefer this to Japanese rice.
The strike of stevedores is still on.
There seems to be little change in
the work on the front The steamer
Siberia is being discharged by the
usual crowd Of native stevedores. No
Japs are employed. The McCabe,
Hamilton and Kenny Company has a
number of Japs in reserve for possible

of the conflict but practically no de-
cisive results had occurred since Feb
ruary "A when the Siberia left Yoko-
hama for Honolulu.
Representatives of three different
navies are aboard the vessel and
strange to relate, they are the three ma
tions that are supposed to be friendly
in the present cOnfiict-Japan, America
and Great Britain. The officers from
the japanese navy are going to Eng
land for the purpose of supervising the
construction of several warships for
Japan. The warships are those which
were originally intended for Chilli and
are now building in British dock yards.
OF the American officers there are
Captain Uriel Sebree formerly COM
mander Of the battleship Wisconsin
when that vessel was in Honolulu last
December with Admiral Evans fleet
and Captain ]. A. 4.ogers who COM
manded the Albany at the same time.
Both of them have been detached from
those commands and abe now going
home for other assignments.
The British naval officer is Captain
Paynter who commanded the cruiser
Nnshin curing the recent memorable
voyage from Genoa to Japan. Captain
Faynter end his brother are going
home.
The japanese are evidently busy
watching at all points, although only
one warship was seen by the Siberia.
This occurred on the night Of February
II outside Of Woosung. A japanese
cruiser was lowering in that vicinity
waiting for the Russian ship which is
in that port to come outside. The press
dispatches contained reference to the
presence OF the Russian vessel in
Shanghai and the fact that the Chinese
government had ordered the boat to
depart, There was excellent reason

ADD FEDERAL
APPROPRIATIONS

The suit Of Clark and Henry. con-
tractors, against II. Hackfeld & Com
pany and Castle q Cooke, for SO. 600,
for dredging Pearl Harbor. i'm which the
despotion Of Captain Rodman was TAX
en- yesterday, is based OH resolutions by
which it is claimed that Oahu and Eva
Plantations agreed to pay ans addi-
tional sum to the contractors, because
the federal appropriation was not
enough. The following resolution is said
to have been passed by directors Of the
Oahu Sugar Company, before Clark and
Henry took the contract to dredge;
Whereas the United states has al
vertised for tenders to open Pearl Har-
Dor, and
Whereas, the appropriation available
is only $4,000 and the necessary work
TO be performed to make the channel
200 feet wide at the bottom and 80 feet
deep will require am expenditure OF
$4,000. or $4,000 i'm excess of the APP
preparation available and
Whereas Messrs Clark and Henry,
a reliable firm of contractors, will agree
to put i'm a bid to the United states
Government to complete this work az
above for the sum of $4,000, provided
they are guaranteed the additional &c.
600;
Therefore be it resolved, that we,
the Directors of the Oahu Sugar Com
pany, do hereby pledge our Company
to pay it's pro rata OF the $4,000 upon
the completion and acceptance OF the
work by the United states Government,
this companys pro rata to be deter
mined according to the joint interests
of all plantations that may join in this
guarantee.
Provided this sum does not exceed
1-3 of $26, OOO viz: SS,666.6G.
And provided that the agents OF the
Company, Messrs. II. HaCkfeld & Com
pany, Limited, are satisfied that the
opening of the channel to Pearl Har-
Dor will open the same to commerce..
A similar resolution, except that the
| last two clauses were lacking, is alleg-
ed to have been passed by Eva. The
plantations now refuse to pay the mon
ey because it is alleged that Pearl Har-
! Dor is not open to commerce. ROdman's
! testimony is to the effect that the cham
mel is unsafe for vessels of over 500
tons, but that the Wilder and Inter
Island vessels might use it safely. The
case will furnish an opportunity for the
courts to determine whether the har-
Dor is open to commerce or not
