ENJOY
THEIR ANNUAL DINNER
AN ELABORATE REPAST, FOL-
LOWED BY a MOCK EXECUTIVE
SESSION.

SESSION.
The dinner given last night in the
mauka pavilion of the Young Hotel
in honor of the Planters Association,
was one of the most sumptuous that
has been given here for a long time.
The pavilion was very appropriately
decorated with sugar cane stalks and
cane tassels entwined with MALE. On
the alcove underneath were the ini-
tials Of the Association. Kaai's Quin-
tet Club played during the dinner.
The dinner was very informal and
there were no set speeches. Only two
toasts were proposed, one to the Pres
ident of the United Startes, and the
other to President Schaefer.
After the dinner was over the
guests assembled in the makai paw
lion to take part in a special session"
of the Association, which was entirely
unexpected by many of the members.
After the people present were seated
their places on the platform. The
meeting was announced as an execu-
tive one, and none of the press were
allowed, although a good deal of what
took place was announced later on
One Of the features of the by-play was
the announcement made that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had asked the planters
to accept the services of ten thousand
Chinese coolies on a ten-year contract
This met with some opposition by C..
NJ. Cooke.
After a few remarks had been made
by L. A. Thurston, the executive part
of the meeting was closed. The chair
man of the committee read the fol-
lowing:
Gentlemen: Fifty years ago today
there arrived in these islands a man
who has since become prominent in
the business and social life of this
country, and who by reason of his
many sterling qualities has endeared
himself to all.
He early became identified with
the sugar industry of these islands
and was an officer of the first organ
ization of the Hawaiian sugar plant
ers, and he has now been honored by
the Association with It's highest office
Gentlemen, Mr.. Schaefer"
A portrait of President Schaefer was
then uncovered while all joined in
| singing The Fatherland'
! Mr.. Schaefer responded, and it could
be readily seen that he was very
much affected After he had responded
with his thanks, the entire assembly
sang He's Jolly Good Fellow"
The best part of yesterday was Civ
Ell up to the special excursion to Eva
and Oahu plantations, and the pineap-
| pie fields of Wahiawa. A large num-
/ Der of the members took part in the
