AFFINITY FIRM
BRANDED FRAUD
BY GOVERNMENT

The Postosflce Department has pvt the
Searchllght Club at Elgin. Ill. out OF
commission, and incidentally brought
Marion Grey into the limelight.
Maricn-it is not known whether she
is married or slngle-taking compassion
on the remainder OF mankind, undertook
to supply husbands and wives for all
who would submit their fates to her
tender care.
She advertised in various newspapers
that a middle-aged widow, good look
ing. wealthy, and tired OF single life,
would correspond with a rich or poor
gentleman, with the honorable and
highly respectable object of matrimony.
Officials Got Suspicious.
This advertisement IN itself was not
so bad. but when Marion reversed the
order OF things and caused to be in
serted an advertisement that a retired
business man, wealthy, but lonesome,
desired to correspond with a view OF
matrimony--no objection to poor woman
the postal officials became suspicious.
An investigation disclosed the fact
that Marion. who was the power behind
the throne, or, at least, the directing
head OF the Searchlight Club, fortified
herself for the great rush OF business
received in response TO her generous
outlay in printers Ink, by having n
great number Of circulars printed,
which she sent to her customers.
The circulars are the same for man
and woman. except the necessary

Smaller Shops Sacked.
Proprietors and managers OF the

local are bitter against President Small
His action, they say, amounts to call

cd himself with asking the officers TO
secure a large ATTENDANCE at torlorrow's
meeting. saying he would hare an I'M
portant announcement to ma Ike them.
Such is the temper of the men that a
hot fight will doubtless result at to-
morrow's meeting. Some members open

1t was learned from unofficial sources
tonight that Smalrs call states that
the union has exhausted its financial
resources, that there IS no prospect Of
negotiations with tho two companies.

the remotest glimpse of bear, nor

President Small Calls
for a Vote of the
Operators.
Lack of Funds Said
to Be Cause of
Weakening.

NEW YORK, Oct. f2.-Ihe
great strike of commercial telegraph
operators, which has lasted for near
ly ten weeks and tied up business
in many parts of the country will
be probably voted off by the oper-
ators tomorrow or Monday.
An order to all local unions to
vote on the subject of calling of the
strike was sent out By President S.
j. Small, of the Commercial Union,
today.
President Small tonight confirmed
a report TO this effect. He centent-
ed himself with saying such an or
der had been sent out, but declined
to discuss the matter further.
He would not say whether or not
the executive board of the union
had authorized submitting the Ques-
ton to the Locals.
Result Tomorrow Night.
At the union headquarters It was
stated the vote OF locals will prob
ably be taken tomorrow as all the
unions hold meetings on Sunday.
The result may be known by the
national officers tomorrow night
IL the vote favors calling of the
strike, this action wiz follow.
Lack OF fueas to$arry on the
fight against the Western Union
and Postal Companies longer Is be-
lieved to have caused the calling
Of the vote. II the strike Is voted
on, it means the operators have
lost. The resources OF the com
panies. it is believed. proved toe
great for the union, which entered
upon the strike without great prep
aration.
The first news OF the order fol
a vote came from operators who
had heard that the New York unior

kUkU|, A NAME FOR OUR
LIGHTHOUSE TENDER
Honolulu, April Sth, 1907.

Honolulu, April oth, l5Ui.
Editor Pacific Commercial Advertis-
err: The lighthouse tender to be con-
structed for this Territory must bear
the name of some indigenous Hawai-
ian tree, plant or flower, as the public
is given to understand through the
press. 1 therefore suggest the name
Kukui, for the new vessel. This name
is doubly significant and suggestive
in that. first, it is the name of one Of
our most graceful, luxuriant and
beautiful forest and shade trees; sec
ond, the word kukui is applied by Ha-
waiians to nearly everything in the
shape of a light, whether a candle, a
torch, a house lamp or a lighthouse
beacon. This application of the word
is understood to have been derived
from the fact that in olden times the
sole Hawaiian illuminant was the oil
expressed from the nut of the kukui
tree, and sometimes the ripe nut it
self was used as a lamp. The word
kukui, therefore, is inseparably linked
in the Hawaiian mind, with all artifi-
cial light Even the electric light is
''kukui uila'' 1t is doubtful if any
other name within the limits imposed
will be found at once so euphonious
musical and appropriately suggestive.
If any such there be, let us hear from
their champions.
Very truly yours,
