to find other places from which tC
view the entrance of the big fighting
machines.
The sea wall beyond the Myrtle boat
house was lined two or three deep for
its full strength and was used as one
of the points from which the japanese
committee set off their day fireworks.
These were one of the events OF the
day and created great interest. The
first were fired from the Hackfeld TUG
Pioneer when had been chartered es-
pecially for the occasion and when
was well filled with the members OF
the committee and their friends. The
vessel was deliberately decorated, the
masts being draped with the National
and bunting being used in profusion
The Pioneer did not leave the harbor
till the battleships had anchored out
side and then started, beginning to
discharge her bombs when about oppo-
site the lighthouse. The first was a
small parachute to which was attach
ed a'huge banner, bearing the word
welcome. 1t unturled properly ana
caught by the brisk breeze that was
blowing was rapidly carried in the di-
rectfon OF the flagship Connecticut,
which was anchored Eva of most OF
the vessels. Then followed the many
different designs which had been made
up for the occasion. The red, white
and blue could be seen in almost all
but now and then there were varia-
tons, and the spectacle of a huge tur-
tie sailing along in the air, with his
feet and tail moving as naturally as
possible, was interesting Birds and
animals of all kinds were also shot In
to the air in the bombs and then float
ed over the fleet
Every launch in the harbor was en-
gagged and some of those that went
out certainly carried loads that were
up to the very limit The yachtsmen
also made the day gala one and from
the Kamehameha to the little skips
from Waikiki, all were out and vying
with each other in short contests OF
speed. The breeze was perfect for
pleasant saIing and those in the sail
boats enjoyed a very fair quality OF
snort

line of warships, the island steamers
turned and raced back with them.
The Mauna Loa slowly gained on
them and reached the channel en-
trance at about the same time as the
middle of the column, while the Clau-
dine was left good deal behind. An
especially fine picture was seen from
the end of the line as the vessels
turned. Then it was seen that the
procession of twelve big battleships
was in very straight line. The sight
was one to thrill. San Francisco,
though she saw more vessels, saw no
such pageant, for there is no such
color of sky and sea near the Golden
Gate, as delights the eye ffKoko and
Diamond Heads.
Starting back down the line, the
battleship Kentucky was the first war
ship passed, and as the Mauna Loa
steamed by her Berger's band played
MY Old Kentucky Home" A round
of cheers from the sailors on decks
followed, and was warmly replied to
by the Mauna Loa.
Arriving off the harbor, the long
line began to break. Colors and sig
nails few from the stately mastheads
and the great fighting machines pom
derously moved to their allotted plac-
es, at anchor off the harbor, or pre-
pared to enter.
Just as the Mauna Loa excursion
lists entered the channel on their way
back, the Pioneer with the Japanese
fireworks came out. Those on board
shot bombs into the air which eX.
ploded and flew TO the breeze, high
in the blue, the Stars and Stripes. The
result was splendid. and thousands on
board the warships must have watch
ed with delight as the flags floated
far above their heads, carried to sea
by a heavy trade wind. On some OF
the flags, far overhead, was the word
welcome"

Then Maui awoke and took notice.
Long before that the people of the
settlement on Molokai saw the entire
fleet, a privilege that is beyond any
thing SO far accorded the rest of the
inhabitants of the Territory.
The lookout at Diamond Head noti-
fed the town at 1920 that the first,
second and fourth divisions Of the fleet
were between Koko Head and Dia-
mond Head.
Hundreds of people, guided by the
advice of yesterdays Star as to where
it would be best for them to go to view
the fleet, went to the Kaimuki ridge,
to Diamond Head, to Waikiki beach
and to the tops of the tall buildings.
The fleet rounded Diamond Head to
behold town alive with color. From
every fiagpole there floats the Stars
and Stripes Never did Honolulu look
so gay.
Alohas were sent by wireless. alo-
has and welcomes and congratulations
were flashed, between official messages,

PINEAPPLE
TAXCASES
APPEAL OF HAIKU FRUIT AND
PACKING COMPANY WILL Make
THE TEST

Attorney General Hemenway is work.
ing hard in the preparation of his
brief which will be submitted to the
Supreme Court in the tax appeal case
of the Haiku Fruit and Packing Com
pany. This will be the first real test
of the pineapple exemption law when
the company claims grants them i'm
munity from all taxes with the excep-
ton of those on land over 40 acres.
There are eight cases in which appeals
have been taken to the Supreme Court,
five of these being on Oahu and one
each on Kauai, Maui and Hawaii. The
decision reached by the Supreme Court
in this case will decide what will be
done with the other Eve.
The contention of the Territory is
that the law was made to exempt the
small man, who owned forty acres of
pineapple land while the pineapple
corporations hold that it was made to
exempt them altogether. They agree
that they should pay the taxes on all
land over forty acres but claim that
everything else is exempt.
The question of taxing the canneries
is another point which will come up
in the suit The pineapple men claim
that the canneries are exempt but the
Territory holding that they have no
part in the production or raising of
pineapples, holds that. they should be
taxed just as well as a sugar mill.

Acetylene Gas plant.

The Acetylene, Gas & Construc-
ton Co., of SOB Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, which lately installed
a new machine for the Messrs
Burlington, has had force of work
MIN, in charge of E. Cummings,
busy this week fitting up the resi-
dences of those who contracted for
the light, with the most improved
fixtures and electric lighting at,
tachments, which do away com
pletely with the use of matches for
lighting the gas. In addition to
those mention last week, j. M.
Sterrett has contracted for the light
and will have his residence fitted
up for gas with complete electric
attachments, and will also have his
stable lighted, the electric appliance
making it possible to 'sturn on the
light" from the house by pressing
a button. E. r. Burlington will
erect street lamp in front of his
residence, which will have the
electric attachment, enabling him
to light and turn it out from tbe
house.
1t would seem this would be an
excellent opportunity for our town
authorities to consider the subject
of lighting the town by this mean,
in prevailing upon the Messfs.
Burlington to still further enlarge
their plant, and no doubt there are
enough of our citizens who would
gladly contract for gas in their res
licences, to warrant such a move by
these gentlemen if the proposition
were properly canvassed.

HebreW..NeW Year.

At the setting of the sun on
Friday, today, will be ushered In
the year 1868 of the Jewish cal
endar, and the day will be observed
as one of gladness by orthodox and
reformed Jews the world over.
Joyous greetings will be exchanged,
and the historic rams horn, known
as the shofar, will resound in
temples and synagogues.
The purpose of the blowing of
the shofar, the oldest of known
musical instruments, is to arouse
the people of Israel to more per-
feet performance of their duties.
