been built from the club house to the
Hawaiian hotel where the dancing will
be. The decorations are entirely floral

punches of bananas thrown overheard
from the S. s. Sonoma on the last trip
of the vessel from Honolulu to San

pany 1t was claimed by the company
that the local shippers were informed
that their bananas would have to be

people. The bananas were stored in
too hot place and were cooked by the
time they arrived at San Francisco.

the contempt is concerned Amin is
