Thanksgiving Eve was gloriously
spent by Honolulu Lodge No. GIG, B.
P. 0. E., and their hundreds of guests
at the Moana Hotel, where from 8
o clock last evening until the wee ,
sma' hours this morning they waltzed
and two-stepped. The ball was large
" attended and informality held sway.
At II 0 clock there was pause in
the merrymaking while the Elks gave
their renowned toast to the absent
brothers, while the great Elk clock
blazed in the darkness. This beauti-
ful custom was carried out amidst a
deep silence. At its conclusion the Ha-
waiian orchestra played again and the
guests resumed dancing.
The large dining hall where the
dancing was held was appropriately
decorated. In a small lanai room, de-
lfcious punch was served.
The order Of dances was unique.
Under each dance appeared an appro-
pirate designation, as "Two-Step-It

A native named Brown was killed
and partially devoured by shark or
octopus on Tuesday night while torch
fishing on the reef at Kaneohe, oppo-
site the Walter David place. A mutt
lated part of the body from the waist
up was recovered from the water yes
inquest, was buried in the sand on the
shore. The affair has created consterna-
tion among the night fishermen on the
other side of the island, and was at
tributed to shark, notwithstanding
of shadows From the fact that the
body was torn in two, it is thought
that the fish, whatever it was, must
have been a monster.
Brown and two companions had gone
out at low tide for their regular night s
torching, he going one direction on the
reef and the two working their way
in an opposite direction. They had been
out about an hour when the two heard
Cd1k LII uS1p buCy Sd"
Brown IS torch being wildly waved, and,
supposing that he had been seized by
big eel, they started to his assistance.
The torch they followed was waved
by seemingly desperate hands for some
moments, but no further cries for help
vare heard. Then it went dark and the
two, stumbling over the rough reef sur
face redoubled their efforts to reach
the spot where they had last seen the
light. They kept on in the darkness
until they struck deep water, then
turned and went to shore for a canoe.
1t still being low tide, they could not
launch a boat, and, as by this time the
thought that perhaps a shark had seiz-
ed their companion occurred to them,
they gave up the search for him and
began to notify the residents.
Yesterday morning most of the men
from the neighborhood gathered and
the search for the body was resumed
with canoes. It was Walter Davis who
finally found all that the man eater had
left of Browns body and this was
brought ashore, being given almost i'm
mediate burial, it being thought kinder
o his family not to take the mangled
remains home.

THOUSANDS

Department Runs Over
EStimateS---WOrk Is
Now Shut Off.

1t costs money to build roads in and
around Honolulu during election months
and it would have cost more probably,
if Chairman Charley Hustace, of the
Board of Supervisors, hadn't dropped
to- the fact that there was something
doing and came down with his foot in
the matter. As a consequence of what
had gone on before he made the drop,
some five thousand dollars of county
money over the appropriations had been
spent. AS further consequence there
will be considerably less road work for
the balance of this month and all of
next, in order that the overdrafts can
be made up
This interesting little sidelight on the
work of the road department for the
past six weeks came up at the meeting
Of the Board of Supervisors last night.
It was a fairly warm little meeting,
with Chairman Hustace expressing him
self freely about departments that over

He had just delivered little homily on
the necessity of economy and the beau

the new board to fall heir to. He had
it figured out that at the end of the
term there would be something over
thirty-two thousand dollars to leave as

month we can only give the road de-

FThat' s not enough" objected Su.
pervisor Dwight, who heads the road
committee.
''Well, it has to CO." said Hustace.
eff Mr.. Dwight wants to make any
statement about what has been going
on, we will hear it. But insist on this
thing stopping right now. /"
Dwight became all of a sudden the
center of attraction, but declined to
answer the cue and come forth with

Thanksgiving Observances

The failure this year in the turkey
crop is about the only thing that Ho-
nolulans have not to be thankful for,
but even this cloud has a silver lining
because the scarcity of the bronze
plumaged bird in the market has made
it impossible for many to buy at any
price, and with turkey at thirty cents
4 pound an impossibihty to invest is
not altogether regrettable.
Yesterday was busy day for mar
keters, the grocery stores, markets and
provision shops being crowded until
dark by those laying in a supply of
good cheer for today. Naturally there
was run on what turkeys there were;
and with every one sold, except with
some few homegrown birds, an apology
was extended. The turkey is a noble
bird, but there are fewer quarterings on
this year s nobleman than usual De
mand greater than the supply on the
mainland accounted for this and for
the price.
In spite of which enough good things
were scattered around the city by
scores of busy delivery wagons yester-
day to make a proper Thanksgiving.

How the Exchange Was Made.
\ ''Soon after arrived in Washing
ton / called upon Secretary Winthrop
and asked him whether anything could
be done in the way of exchanging the
two sites, the Irwin lot for the Ma
huka site,'' said Mr.. Cooper. "He
said he was much in favor of the
building being located on Palace
Square and did not favor the Mahuka
site He said the only reason why the
deal was eonsummated for the Mahuka
site was because the department con-
sidered itself bound by the Taylor con-
tract under which the Mahuka site
was purchased.
"His department was in favor of
the civic center, which is being adopt
ed in a large number Of cities.
"Afterward 1 saw Secretary Gar
field and found he was of the same
opinion as Secretary Winthrop, and he
had also visited Honolulu, and he then,
as now, favored the building being To-
Gated on Palace Square.

REPUBLICANS MAY GET
BACK At DEMOCRATS

Some of the Republican leaders got
together yesterday and discussed the
plan to make the police Democratic
machine.
create such machine and thus violate
their pledges to the people to keep
the police out of politics, we can easily
get the Legislature to repeal Chapters
XXN and XX of the County Act, Great
ing the offices of Sheriff and Deputy
Sheriff and establishing the polce
force We could then get legislation
TO create the office of Chief of Police,
by appointment of the Governor ana
approval of the Senate, which Chief OF
Police would have the power to appoint
the eutire police force. In this way a
Democratic police machine would be
legislated out. The proposed measures
would be radical but just.
