A COMPLIMENT
To THE ADMIRAL

The Hawaiian band will give a con-
cert at the Naval Station on Saturday
afternoon, complimentary to Admiral
Very. The concert will be from 1870 to
o'clock.
Admiral Very's successor, Captain
Rees. is expected to arrive here next
Monday on the Mongolia from San
Francisco. Admiral Very will retire
from the active service in the navy on
April %, and expects to leave shortly
for Newton Center, Mass. where he
viii reside in the future. The concert
is given by Captain Berger and the
band as a token of appreciation Of Ad-
miral Very's worth and as showing the
esteem in which he is held.
Admiral Very was born in Liver
pool. England. April %. 1916. He was
educated in private schools in Salem,
Cambridge, and Hayre, France, and in
public schools in Melrose. Maiden and
Chelsea, Mass, and San Francisco. He
was a cadet at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis from 1856. Besides serv-
ing in numerous vessels of the navy
and at numerous naval stations, he
was engaged in magnetic investiga-
tions on the part of the Coast Survey
in 1851. He had charge of the ex-
pedition to Patagonia in 1928 to OBJ
serve the transit of Venus. He COM
manded the steamers Saturn and Cas-
sius in 1898 in the operations around

INVITATION Has.
BEEN CABLEO
KuhiO Advised That the Naval
Committee Are Wanted
as Guests.

The funds necessary for the enter
tainment of the members of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs and their
transportation from San Francisco to
Honolulu was guaranteed the joint
committee of the Merchants Associa-
ton and the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday. and last night the authority
was cabled to Delegate Kuhio to ex-
tend the invitation to the committee
members in the name of the Chamber
of Commerce and the Merchants AS
sociation.
1t is probable that this invitation
will be accepted by at least six meni>
the Coast in June. The expectation Is
that they will sail from San Francisco
SO as to arrive here on July % and be
able to spend from two to three weeks
on Oahu acquainting themselves with
Pearl Harbor. where the millions rec
commended by their committee will be
spent 1t was the idea of the ue1e-
gate, the wisdom of which was seen
at once by the business men and gov
ernment officials here, that as the
Committee on Naval Affairs will have
much to do with Pearl Harbor during
the next two years, the best interests
of the Territory would be served by
having them go over the situation per-
sonally and become thoroughly famil-
that harbor for naval purposes.
1t is understood that the joint COM
mittee had very little trouble in secur-
ing the guarantee of the money nee
essary for their purpose, the amount
coming in lump from some available
source.

will take three days to coal three
ships. allowing for an average of five
handling average of the boys of each
vessel. Three vessels at time can be
coaled here. so that the period during
which the fleet will be off the harbor
will be one day for each vessel.
There will be sixteen battleships in
the fleet that visits here, for although
the Alabama and the Maine will leave
the main feet at San Francisco, either
TO be kept on the Pacific station per-
manently or be ordered back to the
Atlantic by way of the Strait of Ma

priest, who practised the Black Arts in

went to Kauai some weeks ago and
there a campaign of publicity was be-
gun against him by the Kauai Shuho,
resulting in the police taking up the
matter and making the arrest.
According to Honolulu Japanese who
know him, Kuma has his work down to
a fine point, having added anaana to
his Japanese scorcery and inaugurated
a free love cult as well. He is a mes
