GONE TO
HIS REST
Isaac Noar Dies at the
Queens Hospital Of
Pneumonia.

Isaac Noar died at the Queens Hos
pital late yesterday afternoon of pneu-
monia, after an illness of about two
weeks. For sometime past he has been
in failing health, and a fortnight ago
was taken to the hospital where he
died. DR.. Hoffman was the attending
physician
Mr.. Noar's daughter Julia, visited
him here several months ago, but is
now in the States. He also has a son.
who is lawyer in California, who was
to visit his father here, but he lately
changed his plans. Mr.. Noar was six
ty-nine years old.
OF Isaac Noar's life before he came
to these islands, but little is known
He first arrived in Honolulu in June
1900 and becoming attracted by the
place decided to stay here instead of
returning to New York City, his for
mer home. According to his own state
ments he had been a manufa cturer
inventor, merchant and student of sci
ence, besides taking a deep interest in
politics. At one time he was chair
man Of the executive committee of the
Sixth Assembly district of New York.
Upon his settling here he invested
considerable money in real estate. He
built the Star block above the Orphe-
um, and soon afterwards was involved
in litigation over the same. In April
1903 the Supreme Court decided that
the block must be sold. In 1902 Noar
was out for the office of Territorial
Treasurer and during the elactiOn of
last year he was nominated as a MEM
ber of the Republican District Com
mittee. He also sought to become a
member of the Oahu Board of Regis
tration in 1900 During his residence
here he has not only eeen active in
politics but in business as well.

Yours very truly.
RICHARD H. TRENT,
County Traa SIIrpr

The letter was not read at the after
noon session of the Board, nor yet at
the night session, and although the
reporters copied it, they We're allowed
to do that only with the understanding
that it would not be made public until
it was read in the Board meeting At
that time, the intimatio was given
that it would be read at the Board
meeting today. However, the letter
got out And so the public is in
formed that Trent is still financing the
county. and that he has stolen march
on Supervisor Adams.
In the meantime, there was rather
comical turn to the blanket warrant
yesterday afternoon. The
Supervisors had rescinded their action
granting the garbage blanket warrant

County Auditor Gets a
Jam Not Meant for
Him.

Inc county Auditor or Oahu got IN
the way of a landslide yesterday, and
had some difficulty in digging himself
out. 1t would not have happened,
either, if his friends had told him what
was coming The landslip was intend
ed to overwhelm the County Treas
urer
The blanket warrant dispute, it seems,
is only one angle Of the trouble that
has arisen between the County Treas
urer and the Board of Supervisors of
Oahu, and the matter in it's genesis is
political, as most matters are in Ha-
wall. The Supervisors, and in par
ticular it appears Mr. Adams, Super
visor at-Large are fearful that Trent
Will gain too much prestige. AS Trent
is a Democrat, of course, it would not
answer for a moment to permit him
to be the whole thing in the matter
of the disbursement of public money.
But, worse than that, and of a higher
class of politics, is the consideration
that if Trent finances the county of
Oahu, and does it successfully, then
the appeal is to people of much more
intelligence than mere garbage labor
ers, and the POLITICAL prestige gained
would be really worth while. And that
is what Mr.. Adams is said to object to.
I'VE must not let Trent finance the
county" Adams is reported to have
said, not alone to his Republican fell
lows in the Board of Supervisors, but
to several outsiders as we'll. 81 can
handle the next warrant given to the
by the Territory, and 1 can get
the money on it without any discount
at all from its face value
To which. it is said, Jack Lucas
made answer: You'd better let Trent
were, and it is his business to finance
the county,
Now, whether the colloquy ever took
place or whether it did not is a mat
ter of minor Importance. The fact re-
mains that Trent apparently heard of
it, for he did get the August warrant
cashed without any discount whatever,
so that the county of Oahu gets the
face value for it's allowance for the
from the Territory. And that
proves the Territorial credit good, by

! The benefit performance given last
night for the wives and families of the
victims of the disaster on the U. S. S
Bennington by the minstrel troupe
| from the Z. S. S. Lawton was great
success. The Orpheum Theater was
| filled with an enthusiastic audience
who applauded the performers to the
echo and went away satisfied with the
show. Although the show had been
arranged in a very short space of time,
there We're no hitches and the men ac-
quilted themselves with credit. The
songs We're exceptionally good and the
Asiatic quartet made a tremendous
hit - These our singers gave many
faVorite songs in a manner that caused
the audience to rise in it's seats and
give them an ovation. Thundrous
cheers followed every song and it was
with difficulty that the singers could
withdraw. Their second appearance,
toward the close of the program, was
the signal for a great demonstration.
Captain Winder of the Lawton rose in
his box and thanked the singers for
their work.
The first part of the program con.
sisted of songs and jokes. The min
strels were seated in a semi-circle on
the stage. In the center was the in
terlocutor, w. c. Roe, who is also
stage manager. He was dressed in
naval officers white dress uniform
with epaulettes. On either side were
three men in petty officers white uni
forms. Next on each side were three
men in seamen's blue uniforms The
end men We're in blackface and wore
comical red suits. The solo work in
this part was excellent and the Jokes
well chosen.
The olio part was made up of
specialties that showed much talent.
Irwin and Suskind gave Dutch
comedy act that was side-splitting. A.
Miller recited clever Hebrew mono
logue in costume. r. T. Mcdonald did
some startling sleight Of hand tricks
that would have puzzled many pro-
fessionals. He also did some clever
club swinging and some wonderful
work in folding and tearing paper into
various patterns and forms P Sons
did some fine limitations of animals and
other sounds. Ryan and Ryan did an
SACI uNIdiliSIS 1TlSn act. u.
Sullivan did some difficult stunts in
buck and wing dancing that brought
forth loud applause. Kelly and Irwin
did some fine cakewaIk work The Ash

ing.

sured, but there were some little obsta-
cles in the way. To remove these some
time might be required, probably a
few months. This government is now
apparently ready to consent to such a
commission, but the British govern
ment is waiting for the right time for
it to cooperate in such a commission.
There are quite a number of claims on
the part of both countries and the pur-
pose is to sift these out, determine
which amounts to the largest sum,
strike the amount of the difference and
pay the same, leaving the respective
nations to settle with the individuals.
EXTRA SESSION TALK.
There is again talk, proceeding from
the President, about calling an extra
session of Congress in November. 1t
was stated from Oyster Bay day or
two ago that the extra session would
be called for November II. The Con-
gressional experts here in Washington
forthwith consulted the calendar and
found that November IL falls on a
Saturday. It is very L sual, prob
ably unprecedented, for 1ongress to
convene on Saturday. In recent annals
the meeting day has always been
Monday, although occasionally Con-
gress adjourning for recess has ad-
journed to some day in the middle of
the week, like Tuesday or Wednesday.
Now much speculation follows as to
what reason the President can have
for assembling Congress in such an
unusual way.
Some think the reason is to be found
in the President IS superstition with
reference to the number Ii. Tie Mon
Gay, following Saturday, the 1ith, will
be the 18th. He promised Speaker
Cannon and other leaders in Congress
that he would not call an extra session
before the November election, which
will be November l. At best the extra
session can have but three weeks in
which to work and so there is much
interest to ascertain what special sub
jects of legislation the President will
name in his extra session message. 1t
is almost a. certainty that no one of
them can be finished before the extra
session has ended and the time for
the assembling of the regular session
is at hand.
