especially the main thoroughfares. Mr..
McCandless said the county was OK
pending about $4,000 a month. he
thought that the Supervisors were pay
ing too much attention to the requests
of salary grabbers for salary increases
He believed, however, that the request
of an influential body like the Promo
tion Committee should have some
weight HeNagreed with Mr.. Spalding's
statement as to the Governors finan-
cial policy. He did not believe in the
Territory getting into debt another dol
lar that could possibly be avoided.
1t was generally agreed that when
the Supervisors were ready to begin on
the island belt road. that the work
should be done by contract A resolu-
tion that the Promotion Committee
recommend to the Supervisors the bet
terment of the Waikiki road, the road
to Pearl City and Moanalua and the
belt road, was passed.
In connection with the endeavor to
get an American squadron here for
maneuvers, ]. A. NJ. johnson stated
that when he went to the Orient he
would endeavor to get personally into
touch with Admiral Stirling of the
Asiatic fleet and ascertain his views
on the subject. AS to the Pacific
squadron the statement was made that
three out of the five warships there
were disabled or laid up.
Chairman McCandless advised ham,
mering away at the Navy Department
until the department ordered squad
ron here.
AS to obtaining advance information
of the amount of room and the berths
available on vessels coming here from
the Colonies and Orient, Mr.. Spalding
said he had made inquiries and found
there were no means yet of getting
such information.
Mr.. Smith said the Pacific Mail COM
pany in cutting out two vessels from
Honolulu on the homeward-b trip,
made 1t exceedingly bad for tourists
who came here expecting to go back
to the Coast on the vessels on certain
dates. This always operated badly in
Honolulu among tourists.
An investigation will be made of
the alleged knockers on some OF the
Pacific Mall boats, said to be officers,
who discouraged travellers from stop
ping here.
As to the ocean yacht race from San
Francisco to Honolulu. originally ad-
vocated by the Promotion Committee.
and taken up by Commodore Hebron
at the Coast, 1t was suggested that
the city should present a trophy say
a cup worth from $500 to s400 to be
known as n perpetual trophy. This
was believed to be matter which
would greatly advertise the islands. for
no doubt, many friends and relatives
of those in the proposed race would
come here by steamer. Possibly At
lantic boats might come to the Pa

CONGRESS OF JAPS.

Out of the celebration of the issue.
of the 3oOOth number of the Hawaii
Shinpo Sha, the Japanese daily news
paper published by c. Shiozawa, may
come something which may prove of
great value. especially to the sugar
planters. A number of celebrations
are planned, one having already been
given at the Shinpo office, where wine
and other refreshments marked the an
nouncement of the thirty winners in
the voting contest, emitting them to
sit at the special banquet.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening at
Mochizuki, Waikiki there will be a
celebration which hundreds of Japanese
and dozens of foreigners, especially in
vited, will attend. Then during the
coming week the banquet will be given,
and to cap the climax congress will
be held in which the thirty successful
and fortunate ones will participate.
1T will be a congress conducted like
the American Congress or the Hawai-
ian Legislature" said Mr.. Shiozawa.
These thirty represent all classes Of
Japanese in Hawaii, physicians, mer-
chants. small farmers, newspaper men,
artists, ETC., and they will debate on
the methods best believed to solve the
japanese labor question here.
Then have in my possession arti-
cles on the same subject, submitted by
Japanese all over the Territory. These
will be opened by a committee of
judges, to determine who has given the
most valuable and practical sugges-
tions for the solution of this question.
They will be printed in my newspaper
and the proceedings of the congress,
together with the various celebrations,
will be published in pamphlet FORM"
Mr.. Shiozawal yesterday sent out to
foreigners in Honolulu printed invita-
tions to the Mochizuki celebration to-
morrow. The invitations were sent
mostly to gentlemen. inviting them and
their friends to attend. AS Mr.. Shio-
zawa was not in possession of list
showing who mere married and who
were bachelors, he trusts that the mar
ried men receiving invitations will
bring their wives. and the bachelors
are entitled to bring-well. their friends.
The celebration tomorrow is strictly
invitational and those invited must
present cards at the entrance. The
foreigners are expected at p m.

(From Saturdays Advertiser.J
The meeting of the Hawaii Promo
tion Committee yesterday was largely
taken up with a discussion of matters
looking to the betterment of the road
system about the islands, principally
the improvement of the Waikiki road
and the belt road around Oahu. In
this discussion some very sound ad-
vice as to territorial financial matters
was given by Mr.. Spalding, as above.
Tie meeting was attended by Chair
mon ]. A. McCandless, Messrs. F. j.
Lowtey. E. L. Spalding, A. Gartley,
]. A. NJ. Johnson and f. C. Smith and
Secretary Boyd.
1t was decided not to advertise in
the Mercantile Guide, new directory
pushed by young man from the
Coast. Mr.. Lowrey did not think 1t
was worth the expense. Mr.. Smith ad-
vocated the same amount of money
being put in to magazine advertising.
The suggestion of a form of a letter
to the Board of County Supervisors
was read by the secretary, to be pass
ed over to the Chamber of Commerce
and Merchants Association for ap-
proval. The letter covered the need of
good roads throughout the city, espe-
cially from the wharf to the town
proper, as a means of pleasing the eye
of the tourist. Every economy In the
management of county affairs, looking
to a greater fund for road making was
uged. The letter refers to the Waiki-
ki road as being in a disgraceful con-
dition, especially from Levers road to
the Park, or even to Diamond Head. 1t
gave tourists very bad impression of
the city. 1t could be made into one
Of the finest OF tropical boulevards by
planting trees in the center.
The letter also called attention to
needed improvements of the Moanalua
road, as at Kahauiki it was very bad.
so an essential. 4L
The secretary stated that the auto
people had framed petition during
the day to the Road Supervisors ask
ing for road betterments. They rep
resented an investment of s150,000 and
as motor cars were being damaged by
bad roads, they wanted better ones.
Mr.. Lowrey thought oil would improve
many streets. Mr.. McCandless dis
agreed, saying that in this climate oil
ed roads were failures. The statement
was also made that there was an es-
sential in the local burned-out sand
that did not work we'll with oil in be-
ing made into roads. The petition also
set forth that the Pail road above the
new reservoir sluicing would soon be
in need of repair, as the top dressing
is worn off.
After Mr.. Spalding made his state
ment about territorial finances and
roads, Mr.. Lowrey suggested that the
committee could probably agree that
the Waikiki road proposition be car
ried out. Mr.. Spalding thought toe
many side streets had been repaired to
the neglect OF main thoroughfares. as
for instance. Queen and Beretania
streets. Mr.. Smith suggested advising
that the streets be gradually repaired

He OPPOSED
THE SUIT
From saturdays Advertiser,

Fred. wundenberg. attorney in fact
for Samuel Parker, succeeded Sam. X.
Parker on the witness stand In the
trial OF the Parker case before Judge
Lindsay yesteday. He was examined
in regard to the trust deed to himself
from Samuel Parker, and then ques-
toned about the Parker ranch affairs
and the bringing of the present suit.
He strongly resisted answering ques-
tions put by ]. A. Magoon regarding
proposals made to Parker for purchas-
ing the Humuula sheep ranch from
him. Even after Magoon told him his
reason for asking was that he (Wun-
denberg), S. Parker, Eben Low. J. s.
Low and himself (Magoon) were charg-
ed with conspiracy to oust A. w. Car
ter from the guardianship. the witness
declined to answer unless the court
instructed that he must.
THAT is Parker's private business"
he protested. 1T is irrelevant to this
case"
Ultimately he told of an offer by
A. M. Brown Of 100000 or $4,000 for the
ranch, which Sam. Parker would not
accept, as his price was 100000 There
offered by Eben Low, but on every oc-
casion witness advised strongly against
selling, because he understood Sam.
Parker's intention was to keep the HUI
muula sheep station for young Sam.
Witness had never had any negotia-
tions with Low on the matter.
Wundenberg asked A. w. Carter for
explanations about $1,000 worth of
water pipe he saw being shipped to
Parker ranch, which being given ended
that matter between them. He had a
talk with A. w. Carter about improve
ments at the Mana homestead, which
having been made he told Carter he
thought Sam. Parker ought not to be
charged with the whole expense. Car
ter's reply was that as Parker's fam
lily occupied the place he should stand
the charge. The expense was $25O0 or
$1,000.
After being questioned about other
things, he was asked to give particulars
of the condition of the Mana place be-
fore he had spoken about it to Carter,
and he told about gates off the hinges
and the cistern supplying the stock
with water in bad state. At these
times he knew nothing about. any
movement to have Carter removed.
Asked about his knowledge of the in
stitution of the suit he answered SUBJ
stantially thus:
81 knew nothing about the proceed
ings to remove Carter until the pro-
ceedings were brought, excepting what
1 heard discussed shortly before the
bringing of the suit.
II know proposition was brought
to you (Magoon) to bring this suit and
you refused to take the suit, and
advised you to have nothing to do
with 1t. You refused before / advised
you. 1t was very shortly after that
the suit was brought. I can not recol-
lect the number of days. perhaps a
week. / never heard anything about 1t
prior to two weeks before the bring
ing of the suit. / never discussed the
matter
you claimed that 1t would be a
whole lot of recrimination and long
drawn suit. You did not want to go
into the case. You did not like the
hang of the case.

son was present. think Lightfoot was
present. Jack Low was present. l do

witness said he had taken steps to
install Eben Low as manager OF the
ranch some short time prior to the
institution OF the suit. Took that step
because he wanted to have control OF
Sam. Parker's property. Considered
Low competent manager, and did not
consider Fred. Carter such. Did not
think, from Carter's previous experi-
ence and his knowledge of him from
a boy, that he had the training and
experience to manage the Parker ranch,
one of the biggest in the country.
He talked with A. w. Carter In the
latter's office to the same effect and,
when Carter said he was himself be-
hind the management, he told him
he did not consider he knew any more
about running rapch than his broth
er. Carter laughed it Off.
Witness visited the Parker ranch
once before and once after receiving
the trust deed. The first time was to
go over the ranch and get a general
idea of its extent. He saw the lasso-
ing of some wild cattle in the noun
tains, but he declined to pass any judg-
ment on the operations as he was not
an expert" Yet he was drawn into
giving some particulars about drink
ing pool, in which the cattle stood in
water that was "more mud than
water" Also he said things about the
Mana dairy which were not favorable
to the management. Horses weDe

IN ELECTION CONTEST

Abraham Fernandez has filed an
amended petition to the Supreme Court
against the election of E. r. Adams as
member of the Board of Supervis-
ors of the County of Oahu at the
county election on June 20. He puts
in the allegation the omission of which
made his original petition defective,
in the opinion of the Supreme Court,
namely. that If the $40 votes for him
improperly rejected had been counted
and credited to him he would have
been elected by a majority of 341 over
Adams.
He prays for a recount of ballots
and, after hearing of proofs, for a de-
cree that the return of Adams to the
office was false, and that petitioner
was duly elected thereto and should
have been so returned w, S. Edines.

seems to be whether the provisions of

AS stated yesterday, the court is Of
the opinion that the provisions of the

until they should become applicable.
Without speaking for the other men,

possibly there might be a material dis

ternoon filed an amended bill of injunc-
tion to prevent the County Treasurer

in making Adams a codefendant of

County of Oahu.
At the continued hearing of the case

amend the bill as now done. Judge
Robinson, in the course of proceedings.
revealed his mind, more or less plainly.
on two points. He evidently regarded
blanket warrants as illegal under the
county act. Also, he indicated a hold
ing that the Treasurer occupied
ministerial position and therefore
could not refuse payment of war
rant duly approved by the Board
of Supervisors. This was not saying
that the payment of warrant could
not be prevented by the court on q
showing by taxpayer or other inter-
ested party that it was illegal.
