MARINE
CHRISTMAS TREES ON
THE HILOnIAN's MASTS

Tall and spreading Christmas trees
lowered from the masts of the Matson
steamship JIilOnian as she entered the
harbor last evening, for she is the real
Santa Claus steamer so far this season.
The promenade deck was also adorned
with smaller trees and branches, Civ
ing the popular vessel a picturesque
Yuletide look.
In the Hilonian s cargo of 5000 tons
are about 500 tons of Christmas mer-
chandise for Honolulu merchants. and
it was to accommodate them, as well
as large part of the population wait
ing for Christmas gifts from "home, 4"
that Captain johnson brought the YES
sci into port last night instead of this
morning. A few nights ago Captain
johnson called some of the passengers
into consultation concerning the time
of arrival of the ship at Honolulu, and
asked them whether in their opinion
it would suit everybody here to bring
The passengers assured Captain John
son that if he took the vessel into port
by Monday night it would confer a
great favor upon the community, par
tieularly to the merchants, who would
have additional time to fill orders from
arriving merchandise for shipment to
81 hn or
today, and So Captain Johnson sent the
vessel ahead full speed. He timed his
arrival for $3.50 and arrived off port
right on the dot.
The passengers had a pleasant trip.
What winds there were, were astern.
But it was different with the Lurline,
according to a wireless message from
the latter. The Lurline was bucking
heavy seas and head winds.
Among the passengers aboard are w.
Fl. Hoogs and J. F. Morgan, returning
from business trips; NJ. MacIntyre,
father of Mr.. MacIntyre of Moanalua,
who has been on the mainland for the
past five weeks on a pleasure trip; J.

business and pleasure, extending his
trip to Chicago; Claude Kellogg of

are over The advertising campaign
of the Hawaiian Pineapple Growers
Association starts in the January mum
bers of thirteen of the. most widely

Proofs of the advertisements, in diff
ferent sizes according to the magazine
they are designed for, but similar in
reading matter and halftone, have been
received by the Advertiser. The ad is
an attractive one, headed by grow

APPLE
The reading matter of the advertise
ment is:
eff you have ever cut the fresh ripe
fruit from a Hawaiian pineapple plant
and sliced and eaten it on the spot we
owe you an apology for the assertion;
but if you have not done just this, we
believe our statement is true.
"Most people say the flavor of pine
apple is delicious, but the fruit is so
tough and So stringy; it bites the
tongue, and actually makes the mouth
sore. Yes; all this proves that they
have never tasted pineapple.
"Hawaiian pineapple is so different.
"The best variety of pineapple,
picked when perfect (and no fruit is
perfect until it is fully ripened), sliced,
cored and canned on the plantation al
most the next minute.
'Just open can of it and see; yes,
and catch the fragrance and taste
slice; only one slice-and you will say
too, Il never tasted pineapple before
"Hawaiian pineapple contains moth
ing but fresh fruit and pure granu
lated sugar. Tt is put up only in sani
tary cans, preventing contamination
by solder or acid. No human hand
touches the fruit in peeling or pack
ing.
E'You can buy Hawaiian pineapple
in three forms-sliced, crushed or
grated. The sliced pineapple is usual
ly served just as it comes from the
can; the crushed or grated kinds, some
what lower in price, are delicious for
sherbets, ices, pastry, buildings, and
many other desserts. Send for book

elect Taft to come to Honolulu to get
better acquainted, and invited Dicl
Croker, of Tammany fame, to take {
| trip to the Paradise of the Pacific and
test our winter climate These were q
few of the things he did.
"The San Francisco business men
have had excursions to the north and
excursions to the south, and / made it
point to tell them that it was time
they were paying some attention to
their best customer of all, Hawaii. They
saw the point, and Charles Moore, the
president of the San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce, told me that he would
call a meeting of the chamber and com
nit the members definitely to an ex-
cursion to Hawaii. He assures me that
the excursion will come.
&C. D. Dunnan, general passenger
agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, who also holds the same po-
sition for the California and Puget
Sound Railroad and the Pacific Coast
railroad companies, talked the matter
over with me, and he has now gone to
Seattle to bring up the matter of an
excursion from there. 1t is practically
certain that we will have the S. S. Gov
ernor down here with an excursion in
February It was at first thought that
we would run the steamer from Seattle
to San Francisco, to San Pedro and
across to Hawaii, but we have decided
since to run it from San Francisco to
San Pedro and here, the Seattle and
Portlanders joining the excursion at
San Francisco. The Governor is a fine
boat, and the accommodations on her
are splendid.
"Our plans are to have the Governor
sail from San Pedro to Hilo, making
that city the first place of visit. Three
days in Hilo will give the excursionists
time to see the Volcano and the sights
around Hilo. Then the steamer will
come to Honolulu and remain here for
eight days That will give those who
wish time to 90 to Maui and Kauai on
the island steamers.

the chartered steamer Pleiades from
Seattle and Tacoma for Honolulu, di-
rect, on January l. The vessel is due
to arrive here about January 10. She
will bring large cargo and will then
load sugar and merchandise for San
Francisco. She has a cargo capacity
of about 5000 tons.
The next steamer from San Fran
cisco direct for Honolulu will be the
Alaskan, sailing Thursday, December

on January 3, instead of January 5, as
originally scheduled. The Virginian
should arrive here about January 10 or

ready for the cavalry horses which are
to come by the Virginian.
The Columbian leaves here today at
) p. m. for Kahului, Kaanapali and
Hilo, completing her sugar cargo at
the latter port, and will leave Hilo
January ? for Salina Cruz.
Plenty of Lifeboats.
The local office of the Federal In
speetors of Hulls and Boilers has
found that the island steamers already
inspected are not only in good shape,
and haye the requisite number of boats,
but provide enough So that even if an
excursion crowd is carried and the YES
sci is in distress, there will always
be sufficient landing boats for all on
board. The local office finds that the
companies are, almost more than willing
TO have the inspectors find that their
steamers are fully provided with every
thing the shipping laws ask for. Life
preservers are plentiful.
The inspection of all steamers may
be completed before the end of the
year, so that in 1909 all inspections
may be recorded as of the year, leav-
ing no inspections tapping over from
one year to another In other words,
the officers desire that the list be en-
tirely completed in the same year.
WEIGH Leaves Tomorrow.
The bark Andrew Welch leaves for
San Francisco tomorrow at 10 a. m,
with about SO tons of sugar and
three or four passengers.

MAYORALTY
CONTEST

fees would have to be thrown out,
which might defeat some other officials
now holding certificates of election,
The same is true if the vote of the
fourteenth precinct of the Fifth is
thrown out.
E. NJ. Watson and ". W. Thayer, for
the respondent, Mayor-eleet Fern. will
present their side on these questions
this morning,
When the Supreme Court, with Judge
De Bolt sitting in place of Justice Bal
lou, assembled yesterday morning to
take up the mayoralty contest, Chief
Justice Hartwell stated that Justice
Wilder, since the decision of the court
the other day overriding the demurrer
OF the respondent to the petition, had
written out his dissenting opinion, and
he, the Chief Justice, had been very
much impressed with it, and had he
had 1t to read before delivering the
opinion of the court it might have mod
fled his own opinion.
The examination of the individual
petitioners as to the information they
had as to Irregularities and fraud on
which they based their action in sign
ing the petition, was then begun. Not
all the petitioners were present, but ac-
tivity in serving subpoenas as well as
the news spread from mouth to mouth
brought them all in during the day.
The Great Source of Information,
1t appeared from the testimony of
these thirty-six men that Nagaran Fer
nandez, James Kulike, and Frank Ber-
telmann were the chief sources of infor-
nation, while Naone was the primary
authority for most of the information
and belief as to the too ornate crosses
which certain Haaulu voters had put on
their ballots. James Kulike seems to
have been the principal authority as
to the alleged Irregularities of Willie
Crawford in the fourteenth precinct of
the fifth, and Bertelmann as to the Wal
name anu oGHeF hOoIdu precincts. But
Fernandez, according to the
overwhelming testimony, was the most
active agent in disseminating this infor-
nation. One after another of these
petitioners testified that they knew lit
tie but what Nagaran told them. In
large number of cases it appeared that
Nagaran told the petitioner all or most
Of what the petitioner knew concerning
the matter, and having thus informed
him and induced belief in the infor- |
nation, Nagaran would ask them to |
sign and swear to the petition on infor
nation and belief.

in the petition-at the fshmarket, for
one place, that seems to have been a

to as being the sources or springs of
information, the origin of the informa-

James Kulike, whose name heads the
list of the petitioners, gave the most
direct testimony as information of
Irregularities. His is the fourteenth of
the Fifth. He said that Crawford had
offered to bet him that Achi would
win in the precinct Crawford had
been within the polling place as clerk
all day He had kept the official tally
during a part of the count, until his
eyes failed him, and in tallying that
he feigned to mark a tally for Lane
when in fact he did not so mark 1t.
Crawford has also spoken TO four OF
FIVE Chinese voters In Chinese as they
came up vote Kulike asked one of the
Chinese, as he came out of the booth,
what Crawford had said to him and the
Chinese had replied that he SAID,
"Don t forget our bald-headed friend
Cathcart; he is the only one L am
working for. - On another occasion
during the day, according to Kulike,
Crawford had announced his partisan
ship for Cathcart
The court began the afternoon SEES
sion early, one O'Clock. On the re
assembling of the court at that hour
Chief Justice Hartwell announced that
the court was ready to hear argument
on the three propositions of law that
have been mentioned above, but both
sides suggested that as the petitioners
were all in court. it would save their
time and convenience them if they
were examined now to whatever extent
the court desired them examined. THIS
suggestion was acted on. One of the
petitioners testified to hearing that
votes in one of the Koolau preclrcts
which had been improperly marked for
deputy sheriff or supervisor, but prop
erly marked as to mayor and other
candidates were rejected altogether.
As nothing of this sort had been al
legged in the petition. Watson moved
that this testimony be stricken out
This the court declined to do. on the
ground that while not material to the
question now engaging the attention
Of the court, it might be made material
on other points by amendment.
Mayor-elect Fern was present in
court all day. but John c. Lane did not
put in an appearance Acting At
torney General Whitney was present
during the examination of the petit
TONERS, to see if any evidence of fraud
calling for action through the criminal
courts or the grand jury had been com
mitted.
The hearing goes on this morning.

Jack Read a Paper.

F. W. Macfaarlane and H. M. Won
Holt got their information in the meet
ings Of the Republican Central Com
mittee, Jack Atkinson reading a paper
on the subject there on one occasion.
John Hughes said that he had heard
many things from many people in
many places but he could not name
single person whom he could state as
the source of any particular informa-
ton, although he had heard Nagaran
Fernandez on the subject.
P. w. Burns frankly admitted that
he had neither information nor belief
concerning the irregularities and fraud
charged in the petition, but he had
heard that Lane had been defeated
unfairly, and he thought if he had he
ought to have another chance so he
signed the petition.

will not be able to care for all the

will have been built into the camp

ably have made for the beginning of
