The crowd shouted Taft! Taft! Big

the platform with smile of appre-
citation wreathing his face. AS the
cheering continued, minute after min
ute, Taft grew more serious and tried
to compel silence by holding up his
hand, but this simply caused more
cheers than ever. General Porter
stood beside the candidate and final
ly obtained comparative quiet. Then
he introduced Taft as "our next presi-
dent and the cheering was resumed.
When it stopped, Taft started his
speech.
"The inspiration of this presence
no matter what happens November 3,
will always be the sweetest memory
OF my life," said Taft.

politan, and in its halls will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. Tt has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tiOns by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are a very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, a hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers Of
quaint design, made of hand-wrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a broau,
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene,
reminding one largely of Paris or the
embankment in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama of mountain and sea.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted/is the number and
variety of its different dining places.
In them one may find place to dine
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers convenient grill for
ladies and gentlemen. Further on is
the main dining salon, with accommoda-
lions for three hundred people. This

THE WAHIlWA
CONSOLIDATED
Thielen and Pond Confirm the
Advertiser Announcement
and Deny a Fake.

The wild and woolly story in yester-
day s Bulletin to the effect that the
Castle interests have been after the
control of the Wahiawa Consolidated
Pineapple Company, was shown to be
fake when Mr.. Pond and Mr.. THE
len, who now control the stock, were
interviewed, on the subject.
These gentlemen deny absolutely that
there has been any attempt on the part
of Mr.. Castle or the Hawaiian Develop
ment Company to secure the control of
Wahiawa Consolidated, and that the
published statement to the effect that
the Castle interests had been after the
control with the alleged purpose of GUST
ing Kellogg from the management, was
as unwarranted a statement as could
possibly be made. If the Bulletin had
taken the trouble to consult either Mr.
Pond or Mr.. Thielen in the matter they
could easily enough have ascertained
the truth.
These gentlemen from the very iueor-
poration of the Wahiawa Consolidated
Pineapple Company have been very
heavy stockholders in the same and
have from time to time been increasing
their holdings Certain other interests
which were DESTROYS of selling out APP
preached both Mr.. Kellogg and Mr..
Thielen for the purpose of closing out
their holdings and after perfectly sat
isfactOry arrangement with Mr.. Kel-
logg in the premises, Mr. Thielen final
~ purchased the holdings of these third
parties, thereby vesting the control as
stated yesterday in the Advertiser.
As matter of fact, during the nego-
tiations of the past few days during
which time the proposition to make the
sale of this stock came up, Mr.. Castle
has been absent from the city of Ho-
nolulu and is absolutely unaware of the
fact that the control of this plantation
has changed hands.

MANOA BURGLAR
IS DRAMATIC

Chief of Detectives Kalakiela is
working away in an attempt to unravel
the mystery of the repeated Manoa
burglary and vandalism in the house
of Robert /. Lille. The Chief is of
the opinion that there was more mali
ciousness than crime in the latest burg
larizing of the premises, the traces left
behind by the burglar showing him to
have been probably the victim of dime
novel fever. On one page of a maya
zine which the burglar had evidently
gone through, is drawn a grinning skull
and crossbones, while on another page.
beneath dripping dagger is written:
+" Guilty, but not proven"
