WON'T ANSWER QUESTIONS.
An Advertiser reporter yesterday aft
ernoon visited the offices of Mr..
Strauch, manager of the Cooperative
Home Purchasing Society, and found
a large delegation of Hawaiians, men
and women, occupying all the chairs
in the outer office. The hall door and that
leading to the outer office, closed the
inner sanctum of Manager Strauch

formation that Mr.. Strauch was not
in. Mr.. Strauch, however, could be
seen from the Advertiser office opposite,
busy with a gesticulating Hawaiian.
Later Mr.. Strauch was seen, while
he was doing some typewriting. He
was asked whether he had been able

to an end, and Mr.. Strauch resumed
his typewriting.
