per he will go to the show and thus
follow its progress as a tented city
attraction. With the show is the great
spectacular Fighting the Flames" the
production produced at Coney Island.
Vt is the realistic presentation of a city
conflagration The manner in which
showmen have come to handle fire
with utmost safety is only one Of the
marvels secondary to the great spec
tacular.
After the fire show the great Herd
of elephants claimed the show tent.
These monster pachyderme execute
a quadrille, and go through a maze of
tricks While the elephants are the
feature of the great menagerie, fine
specimens Of wild beasts are in abund-
ance. The monkeys claim their share
of attention, but the two-ton hippo is
quite counter attraction.
One of the innovations of the Coll
mar shows this year is the converti-
bic platform or stage. Heretofore cir
cuses have he'd stationary platform
of thirty-five feet This occasioned a
greater spread Of canvas, thereby add
ing too much for one to see easily.
The Gollmar platform or stage, used
by them folds back upon itself, and
when not in use is not in the way Of
other acts.
The platform appeals to the "ioy"
of clowns and some of the capers they
cut are enough to make Sunny Jim
look like a melancholy nope The
hord of clowns are in evidence every
where.
Another innovation with the Coll
mar show is the waterproof and fire
protected tents. Before leaving win
ter quarters the working forces of the
shows devoted a week to parafining
and closing the pores in the tents.
Therefore, the visitors need not mind

BONAPARTE
ANSWERS NOT
Makes no Reply TO the
Questions Put Up to
Him by Democrats

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Addressing an open
letter to Attorney General Bonaparte
last night. Josephus Daniels, chairman
of the publicity bureaus of the Demo
cratic national committee, asserts that
the attorney general in his recent re-
ply to the inquiry for a statement
showing how many trusts doing busi-
ness in the United States. had been
prosecuted by the department of JUS
tice, did not furnish the information
desired, but instead confused the pros
ecutions under the Sherman antitrust
law with the prosecutions Of railroads
and individuals under contracts.
Mr.. Daniels submits to the attorney
general four questions, as follows:
/. How many of the 2S7 trusts Civ
ing names, doing business in the United
States, have been prosecuted by the
present administration?
- ACW many vi thtSt tIubtSt nam
ing them separately. have been fined,
and the separate amounts?
3. After a trust has been fined.
what other steps have been taken to
prevent its continuing its illegal prac-
tees for which It was forced to pay
the penalty?
4. How many of the officials OF
these 2S7 trusts have been criminally
prosecuted, and how many have been
convicted and the term Of imprison-
ment, giving the names OF each per
son, who has been imprisoned for vio-
lating the law?
In concluding, Mr.. Daniels declares
that even where the administration has
successfully consummated prosecu-
tions and that the penalties imposed
are analogues to police fines that is
regarded as a license to continue.

EVERYBODY GOES TO BIG SHOW

The great Gollmar Brothers show
arrived in the city on time this morn
ing and during the early morning
hours in the neighborhood of the Rock
Island depot, the crowds watched the
operation Of detraining the shows and
raising the billowy oceans OF canvas.
It was the night or restless slumber
for the kids and they were upon the
first streak Of daylight, on the hike
for the circus lot, there to revel in the
delightful land OF imagination that rel
egates teachers and books to inocuous
desuetude.
The parade started promptly at 10
O'Clock and the glittering pageant full
filled all the promises OF the bills and
advertisements. There were the many
gaudily decorated wagons containing
the wild animals, the three bands and
the clowns, the ponies and the ele-
phants. The most unique feature of
the parade was the appearance of a
fire engine and full complement Of
hose wagons and men which are used
in the spectacle of Fighting the
Flames"
But above all was the dear old
steam caliope. What circus parade

RAIN MISSED
UPPER NUUANU
Only Showers Above Reservoirs
and Water Supply Is
Still Scanty.

The heavy rains yesterday morning
in the city helped out the local irriga-
tion question for the time being, but
very slight benefits have resulted to
the water supply system generally.
The showers came principally from the
Manoa valley direction, that watershed
getting good soaking, but up Nuuanu
there were only intermittent showers,
which did no good.
L. NJ. Whitehouse, contractor for the
dam, stated last night that the amount
of rain that fell was infnitesimal, so
little coming down that the heavy
winds that tore through the valley be-
tween showers licked up practically all
the moisture. There was no perceptible
increase in the depth of the small
water reserve in the new reservoir and
only a small increase in the supply in
reservoir No. l, the one from which
the main supply of the city is being
drawn, and which is about half full.
Reservoirs No. and No. 3 are prac-
tically drained dry, and no water came
into them yesterday.
About the only effects the showers in
Nuuanu are having now is to stopwhat
little work on the dam has been going
on. Contractor WhitehOuse has been
working small force of concrete men
on the spillway, which is about half in.
This is heavily concreted and is being
put in wide enough to carry tremend-
Gus amount of water, should sudden
fTeshets fill the reservoir to the over
flowing point and the safety drainage
pipes and the full opening of the efflu-
ent pipe prove insufficient to keep down
the rising level of the water. During
the past few days this concrete work
has had to be stopped.
Yesterday, the rainfall in the city,
as measured at the local office of the
U. S. Weather Bureau, was half an
inch

THE JAPANESE PRESS
ON SITE IMBROOLIO

The Japanese of Honolulu are, so far
as the professional men, merchants and
very many others go, in full sympathy
with those among the whites who OBJ
ject to the park suburbs of this city
being disfgured through the erection
there of unsightly tenement houses,
whether japanese or those of any other
race, says the Hawaii Shinpo, Homo
lulu s leading Japanes organ. 1t is
hardly fair, then, to so constantly refer
to the present agitation raised by the
residents of Makiki as an anti-Japan-
csc matter. All the more so because
in the one instance which precipitated
the present agitation the Japanese
builder is backed by white capitalists
and being urged on to fight against
those who desire to stop him by the
advise of a white attorney
This is not matter of japanese at
all. although it is true that the camps
going up or projected are for japanese.
We understand quite well that the same
would be made if the tene-
ments were for any other race, so long
as they were unsightly and likely to
be as crowded and consequently as un-
sanitary as the Japanese camps. Many
among the Japanese do not so under
stand the situation, however, and the
almost constant reference to Japanese,
Japanese camps and an anti-Japanese

POULTERERS PLAN
FOR EXHIBITION
viii Have Chicken Show Next
January---Prospects Are
Encouraging.

The local poultry-keepers are active
ly lining up for the Hawaiian Poultry
Association S fourth annual exhibition,
to be held on January 13, ii, Is and
16, 1909. The season IS breeding has
been highly satisfactory, and the IA
vorites will crowd hard for first
honors
But the veteran exhibitors are not
to have the race alone. Many nov
ices, whose interest in pure-bred poul-
try was reused by previous shows, are
fitting their best birds for a rub with
them. and in some instances will COM
pete with the breeders who supplied
them with eggs or stock. The pigeon
fanciers will also make the usual fine
showing of many beautiful varieties.
Each annual show has brought out
improved quality in the various breeds
of poultry, and stimulated interest and
faith in pure-bred stock as giving
better flesh for the table, more omelets
to the square foot, and costing no
more to keep than the common fowl
besides, affording a pleasing out-of-
door diversion to men, women and
children.
Honolulu has, for years past, been
receiving frequent shipments of the
most favored breeds from the yards of
some of Americas noted poultrymen,
in both the East and West. Modern
methods are in full prctise here, with
the result that more and better poul
try and eggs seem assured-the show
room serving as an educator, the fan
cier as a promoter, and the public as
patron and supporter.
The Hawaiian Poultry Association
has given three creditable annual exhi-
bitions. and is now shaping its fourth
to excel them. Tt offers the regular
cash prizes, several silver cups, and, by
virtue of its membership in the Amer
lean Poultry Association, is authorized
TO offer silver medals and diplomas
from that body. Judging is to be by
score card. with Mr.. George R. An
drews of Fresno, Cal. again called to
place the awards. The officers are:

MEDALS Of HONOR
FOR HONOLULU MEN

Bronze medals have been received
from the War Department by three or
four young men of Honolulu who saw
service in the Philippines as part Of
the Army of the Philippines. One
veteran who served in Company /, 51st

medal No. 2OS0 in the last mail. A
letter from Major Zalinski, Z. S. Army,
explaining the reason for the honor be
ing conferred on the veteran is as fol
lows:

General of the Army to forward by
