ELLIOTT AND MEAD
TO Be DISPLACED
TERMS OF WATER C0MMIS-
SIONERS NEAR FINISH
Mayor Harper VIII Name General
Mathews and Some Other Man,
as Yet Undecided, and
Do 1t Soon

Mayor Harper is still receiving sug-
gestions as to appointees on the water
board
1t may positively be stated that
Commissioners John M. Elliott and
William Mead, the incumbents,
whose terms expired in March, must
go. On that point the mayor is de-
termined. Those closest him say that
he regards these two men as represent
ing a bankers clique to which he per-
sonally is opposed and which has op-
posed him. He believes that there are
other men here well known in the finan-
cial world who should serve on the
board and whose service will be no det-
riment to the city's interests.
Gen. John R. Mathews, president of
the State Bank and Trust company,
can have one of the appointments If
he will serve. The mayor has for years
been associated in financial interests
with the general, who is former post
master of Los Angeles.
For the other appointment J. o.
Koepfii, w. D. Woolwine, Anthony
Schwamm and Nathan Cole, jr., are
under consideration. The last two men
are members of official boards of the
city now and have been suggested as
compromise candidates. Former Sher-
iff Rowland has also been named.
Eugene Germain is acceptable to the
mayor, but does not want to serve
The mayor has waited until after the
Ovens river bond election in order not
to raise new issues which might lose
votes for the bonds.

When a visitor comes to this booth and
| inquiries about any city or section OF
the state he will be referred to the
booth representing that section, where
he will be given full and complete in
formation, together with circulars
answering his questions.
But no one will be allowed to solicit
trade for his county. Mr.. Hoedel said: I:
'There'l be no one calling to the
visitors to come to his or her boorn

Many chambers have already signi-
fed their intention of locating booth,
and many of the booths will be deco

merce will have it's booth in red, with
white lettering.
Plans for the educational display are
yet in a formative state. Exhibitors
will be permitted to pass out circulars
describing their goods, but they will
not be permitted to take orders for
their wares nor solicit trade.

: PROF. e. MOORE T
Every Chamber of Commerce and County in
California Invited to Have Booth in Basement
of Auditorium During N. E. A. Convention

NR. E. C. Moore, chairman of the
publicity committee of the N.
E. A, and his right hand man,
Robert o. Hoedel, besides the enor-
nous amount of publicity work Incl
dental to their department, will have
additional labors placed on their shoul-
ders in arranging for the educational
exhibit which will form conspicuous
part of the coming convention.
The idea, as outlined by Mr. Hoedel,

itorium building-or wherever the bus
iness headquarters are located-de-
voted to an educational display and an
elaborate information bureau.
Every chamber of commerce and
county in California has been invited
to place a booth at the headquarters.
From this information in regards to
the particular locality represented by
the booth will be disseminated. A
larger information bureau devoted to

HAS FIRST CASE
UNDER NEW LAW
AUTHOR OF STATUTE WILL
PROSECUTE
President and Treasurer of California
Fruit Growers Association Is
Charged with Issuing
Fraudulent Check

Assistant District Attorney McCart-
ney yesterday drew the first complaint
issued under the new law that makes it
a felony to draw check on a bank
without having sufficient funds therein
to insure it's payment.
The complaint was issued against
c. P. v. Watson and F. e. Peters, pres
ident and treasurer respectively of the
California Fruit Growers association,
who June 6, it is charged, drew a check
for $56.60 in favor of Dryden Brothers
in payment for a saddle.
1t is alleged that the defendants,
knowing that they had not balance
enough to their credit to pay the check,
dated it May 4, and when it was pre-
sented for payment the bank refused to
honor it.
Deputy Mccartney was the author of
that section of the new statute under
which the complaint was issued and
now has the honor of being first to try
1t in court.

HOW ANIMALS BLUSH

Animals blush as girls do, but it is fear
and not modesty that in their case causes
the inrush of blood.
Horses blush in their ears, especially
in the left ear. When a horse is fright
ened its left ear will be found very hot
and swollen. This is also true of rabbits.
Cows and all other cloVen footed ami
mails blush just above the fetlock. Dogs
blush in their tails. When a dog is fright
ened his tail bushes so that 1t hangs
limp, the dog having absolutely no con-
troll over IT,
Insects blush in their antennae.-New

HEADS WANT
OAHU CHARTER
League Magnates Take a Week
to Think About Conserving
to the Transfer.

meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Honolulu Baseball league
was held yesterday afternoon in the
offices of Frank Thompson, at which
the matter of the sale of the franchise
of the Oahu baseball club, held by the
local Elk herd, to the Diamond Head
Athletic Club was discussed. The Ka-
mehameha club was unrepresented at
the meeting yesterday, for which rea-
son and the additional one that it was
thought wise to have the matter dis
cussed at club meetings. the matter of
the franchise was laid over for a week.
The question with the club represen-
tatives seems to be whether they
should permit the sale of the franchise
to the Diamond Heads or buy it in
themselves. A suggestion was made
that the trustees should buy up the
mond Heads by forcing the Males to
turn their right over to them at the
figure rendered for the Oahu rights. a
suggestion which Manager Bruins, OF
the Males snorted at in scorn.
Bruins took this occasion to an
nounce that this season the Males
would have a winning team out on
the diamond, threat which made
Charley Falk throw out his chest and
tell what the Red and White was go
ing to do with all corners again.
The question of the makeup of the
league is expected to be the main topic
of discussion among the fans during
the week and the postponed meeting
promises TO be an interesting one.
At yesterdays meeting SGT was vot-
ed to the Winter League to cover their
deficit for the season, subject to the
of the trustees.

FRE|TA5 DID NOT
ESCAPE ON ALAMEDA

Master Alfred Freitas did not get
away on the S. s. Alameda yesterday
as he had planned. He landed in the
police station instead, along with three
of his chums. Freitas had his little
grip packed and had all arrangements
made to jump the town, but the pres
ence of Detective Taylor at the foot
of the gangplank caused a hurried re-
adjustment of plans. At the present
time there is a police court case pend
ing against Alfred. upon which he was
supposed to appear before Judge Whit
ney this morning, but 1t is thought that
there is a much more serious charge
than that of craps looming up against
this youngster.
At present he and his three compan-
ions are being held for investigation,
the chances being that some of them
at least will be formerly charged to-
day. ~
Three other boys were locked up
yesterday by the police, Manuel An
drade, George Silva and John Gomez
being charged with the theft Of Col
umbia bicycle.
Suspicion in some of the cases OF
Iawbreaking reported during the past
short time TO the police has fallen
upon EIadia and Kaiana Kapulono
suspicion strong enough to justify the
police in holding the pair while their
record can be looked into. Juu Fugi-
Sawa, japanese woman, was also
aiken in for investigation last night.
This woman was found to be armed
with a razor at the time of her arrest.

HAD BAD WEATHER.

With additional news of the rough
weather about Kauai, two steamers of
the Inter-Island Company arrived yes
terday morning. The steamer Mika-
hala arrived from southern Kauai
ports at $40 a. m. and the steamer
Niihau from Waimea, Makaweli and
Hanalei at $50 a. m. The Mikahala
had had to lie at anchor at Waimea
on Saturday owing to the heavy wealth
er, but by s o'clock that night condi-
tions became so bad that she had to
seek better shelter at Hanamaulu.
The Niihau tried to stay at Maka-
we'll, but she broke her windlass and
then went to Kamaili, where she part
ed an anchor chain. She then put up
to Hanalei where she remained from
Sunday TO Monday night. Afterwards
she again tried Makaweli, but found
the weather so bad that she had to
abandon the idea of getting in all of
her freight. She returned to Homo
lulu. The vessel brought some sugar
back.
Over thirteen inches of rain fell at
Koloa from Saturday noon to Monday

LARGE LAND OWNERS

This is not true. They have afforded

Without destroying the staple indus

many smaller agricultural interests

dormant. The capital and the enter
prise have been lacking where both are
now working in harmony, and this "a
not because of an unconstitutional act
that discrininates against the Ameri-
can citizen in Hawaii and deprives him
of the same rights that are accorded to
the American citizen on the mainland.

The drawing up of tentative pro-

lively discussions which were judi
ciotisly sidetracked by the chairman
when too lively. One of the bones OF
contention was the mile walk. This

relay, the others present wanting to
make the distance a half mile. AS
both events went down
