yesterday as to what the meaning Of
certain symbols tackled to the wall in
the freight clerks office meant,
brought forth the story which explains
the mysterious marks.
The stevedores working on the Is
thmus Of Tehuantepec are extremely
ignorant. They are almost all Of them
unable either to read or write. The
stencil marks on the freight mean
nothing to them as far as the sorting
Of cargo is concerned. 1t was thought
impossible TO teach them to read and
understand the names of the destina-
tons on packages, so one Of the gen.
eral freight clerks hit upon the plan
of having certain symbols to represent
certain ports.
The marks decided upon were as
follows: Portland, Ore, red circle;
San Francisco. a red cross: Tacoma, a
yellow circle; Seattle, yellow cross;
San Diego. blue circle; Makaweli. a
red triangle; Eleele, a red diamond.
Kahului. green circle; Hilo. a green
diamond. and Honolulu. green cross.
By these marks the freight is sorted
at Salina Cruz and finds 1t way to
the proper places in the hold Of the
big freight steamers.

Willie AhoIo. known to everybody as
Dick" and who left this land of light
and luaus last week for an unknown
destination, will be missed by many
Honolulans.
Dick was into everything. 1t didn't
matter whether it was a church fair
or a baseball game, a match race or a
show at the Opera House, he was al
ways on deck. taking in the fun and
earning an honest dollar by making
himself useful in whatever way pre-
sented itself
Dick was intimately associated with
Regatta Day and for years had been
entrusted with the work Of distribute
ing programs to the holiday crowd.
He always carried a pencil and wad
Of copy paper wherever he went and
from his habit Of bringing in items TO
the local newspapers earned for him
self the soubriquet Of Reporter"
When the liner Manchuria went on
the reef at Waimanalo Dick made the
trip to the scene on foot and was
among the first from Honolulu to ar
rive at the landing.
Always willing to obIige and ever
looking on the bright side OF propo-
sition, Dicks sunny disposition made
him countless friends in the commu-
nifty.
In the place where ne has gone may
he find the errands light and the tips

The funeral of T. Murakami took
place yesterday afternoon, and was one
of the biggest affairs of its kind that
Honolulu has had for several years.
There were over a hundred hacks in
the procession, an eloquent tribute to
the esteem which deceased was held in
by the Japanese community.
The procession started about 1870 P.
m. from the home of deceased on Hotel
street, and proceeded 20 the Jodo Mis-
sion on South street, near Queen street.
When the first carriage reached the
Buddhist temple, the rear of the line
of vehicles was opposite the Capitol
building.
Following the hearse were children
CARRYING candles and banners with in
scriptions from the Word of Buddha
thereon.
There were so many flowers that
there was no room for them in the
hearse, and they were carried to the
temple on a streteher-ike arrangement
borne by four men.
Nearly everyone in the procession
carried a flower, which was thrown on
the pile of blossoms when the cortege
came to a halt at the mission.
The Japanese societies were all rep
resented at the funeral, and nearly
every prominent japanese in the city
was present.
The service at the temple occupied
nearly two hours, and was conducted by
High Priest Shimizu and Priest Ito,
clad in the picturesque robes of their
sect.
At the conclusion of the service
proper several prominent japanese read
passages from the book of Buddha, and
then incense was burned.
After leaving the temple the remains
were taken to Nuuanu cemetery and
there cremated. The ashes will be taken
to Japan by the widow when she re-
turns to the land of her birth.
The main body of hacks disbanded
after the service, only the relatives and
friends of deceased accom-
panying the body to the cemetery.
T. Murakami died of heart failure on
May Is, at his home on Hotel street. |
he was forty years of age, and was
,ne of the pioneer merchants of Homo
ulu, having been in business in Ha-
vail for over twenty years.
He leaves a widow and a son, six
zen years of age.
Deceased was a self-made man, start
ng with nothing and making a fortune
~ hard work and perseverance Just
n all his dealings, model citizen, and
! friend to his employees, he passed
way deeply regretted by his country
men and the community generally.

the Mayors Open Letter
Through Emissaries
Demands Supervisors Permit
Company to Use Both Tracks
in Market Street

The United Railroads has been Quick
10 resrond. through the medium OF the
various organiZa tions which have been
formed. partly. at least, with the OBJ
5ect OF assisting its career. 10 the open
letter addressed yesterday by Mayor
Taylor 10 the people OF San Francisco.
In that letter the mayor lay bare the
facts concerning the dispute between
the board OF supervisors and the
United Railroads. which has resulted
in the restoration OF horsecar service
in Market street from the foot OF Sut-
ter street 70 the city front
A shower Of letters. esnanating from
United Railroads agencies. descended
yesterday IN reply 10 the mayors state
ment Of facts, showing the anxiety OF
the corporation 10 blind the public TO
the real facts Of the case The letters
are from attorneys and oTganIzati tions
which have already shown themselves
TO be in line TO aid the United Rail-
roads in lis endeaTor TO maintain q
transit monopoly TO the city's gate, and
the argument used in each instance
shows the earmsrks OF United Rail
roads dictation. being drawn on the
same line as the arguments long ago
presented by the comp2ny's attorneys
before the board Of supervisors.
One Of the letters. demanding that
the city waive its right 10 the extent OF
granting a trolley permit for the outer
tracks in Market street, is from Oscar
Cooper OF the law firm OF Gray &
Cooper, and another is from C a. s
Frost, who signs himself as represent
ative OF Sutter street hotels-an IN

amount 10 a demand that the board OF
supervisors Immediately grant q per
nit alloxing the United Railroads 10
use both sets OF tracks in Market
street and later determine the validity
Of the dummy Sutter street franchise
through application 10 the courts.
In none Of the letters received is
Mayor Taylor's statement Of the true
facts OF the case disputed, and in each
there is & studied avoidance OF mention
OF the fact that II the United Railroads
actually desires 10 operate its Sutter
street cars 10 the ferry IL can legally
do so by the adoption of the simple ex-
pedient OF putting in switches al San
some street from the Suffer street
tracks TO the inner tracks in Market
