PROMOTION To
RECEIVE HELP
Mayor Signs Resolution Which
Makes a Monthly
Appropriation.

The Promotion Committee will re-
ceive the $3.50 month, appropriated by
the Board of Supervisors some time
ago. Mayor Fern yesterday affixed his
signature to the resolution appropriat-
ing the money and sent the document
to the County Clerk.
When the last Legislature failed to
make any provision for the work of the
Promotion Committee, the matter was
put up to the Board Of Supervisors with
the request that something be done. At
the start it was feared that there
might be some legal obstacle in the
way of the appropriation, but after that
bugbear had been cleared away, the
appropriation passed without opposi-
ton
The Mayor also signed the plumbing
ordinance, the fish and meat inspection
ordinance, the ordinance providing for
sanitary inspectors, the ordinance pro-
viding for the care of the INDECENT sick
and the appointment Of County Physi-
elan, the ordinance regulating the re
port of all deaths to the County Physi-
clan, and the tenement house ordinance.

CHURCH ED|F|cE
1t viii Be Built Across the
Way From the High
School.

The plans and specifications for the
new Methodist Episcopal Church build
ing are rapidly nearing completion. The
church will be built on the corner of
Beretania avenue and Victoria street,
directly across the. street from the
Mckinley High School building The
extreme dimensions of the building
will be eighty feet by one hundred and
three. The structure will have an au-
ditorium with gallery, Sunday school
room with eleven class rooms on the
main floor, and social hail, kitchen
and toilet rooms in the basement. 1t

$4,000. The old buildings on the new
lot are already removed and it is hoped
that work on the new building may
begin within a few weeks.

STRIKERS SLOW
1T RETURNING
Maipahu Plantation Sees No
Signs OF the Laborers
Coming Back.

Though many of the strikers have
started back to the plantations, there
has as yet been no concerted movement,
and among the japanese themselves
there seems to be some doubt as to just
what effect the resolutions passed by
the Higher Wage Association Wednes-
day evening will have.
Several small parties went down to
Waipahu and Aiea on the train yester-
day, but few if any of the men reported
at the plantations. Several parties of
japanese equipped with blanket rolls,
were seen starting toward Eva last
night. but up to late hour none of
them had reported at the plantations.
The announcement was made yester-
day that the free soup kitchen would
close it's doors last night, but as many
of the strikers are known to have con-
siderable money on hand, they may con-
elude to stay in town for some time to
come
A large number of those who are
DESTROYS of returning to work seem to
feel some hesitancy about returning to
the plantations which they left TO go

Sheba in Background.

Kinney proved himself an adept at
quitting questions to the witness which
put the latter in bad hole, no matter
how he answered or even if he did
not answer at all. On direct examina-
zion Lightfoot succeeded in getting a
number of matters before the jury in
one way or another which had been
ruled out of evidence by the judge.
On cross examination Kinney adopted
the same tactics, and with equal effect.
Although all reference to the stabbing
of Sheba was barred by the order of
the court, Kinney succeeded in keeping
the bleeding figure of the editor of the
Shinpo just in the background where
the jury could feel it's presence, even
If it could not see it. Sheba's name
was mentioned frequently by the pros
ecuting attorney, and evidently for the
purpose of keeping the assault on the
man fresh in the minds of the jurors.
Time and again he made the witness
squirm, hesitate and appear at fault by
the embarrassing questions he put, ana
even more by the way he worded them.
He left no ground for objection by
counsel for the defense, yet all along

SETTLEMENT Of

Sugar Stocks Advance on San
Francisco Change in
Consequence.

Hardly had it become generally
known on the San Francisco Stock Elk
change yesterday morning that the Ha
waiian strike was thing of the past,
than sugar stocks began to strengthen.
Cable advices to a local broker indicate
that there was general scramble to
get hold of Hawaiian stocks, and prices
generally advanced in consequence.
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar, which
has been rather quiet on the San Fran
cisco Change, experienced a decided
change, and eabled adviees state that
heavy trading was done in the stock.
The closing price was $33 bid with
practically none in sight.
Other stocks closed as follows: Pa
auhau, $27; Onomea, $3.50; Honokaa,

New York advanced to 4.08.

Charging of Storage Batteries
at kahuku lis Well
Under Way.

Yesterday afternoon the work of
charging the big storage batteries at
Kahuku wireless station was COM
menced. The charging requires about
seventy hours. As soon as they are
charged, Kahuku station will be ready
to handle all of the wireless business
for this island, both day and night.
On Sunday afternoon a rigger will
be sent down to Barber's Point to be-
gin dismantling the station there, and
Monday morning the old station will
be put out of commission permanently.
The mast will be brought to this city
and stored in reserve, ready for service
in case of emergency.
The use of storage batteries, or ac-
cumulators as they are technically
called, is rather a new plan as applied
to wireless equipment, and will reduce
the operating expenses of Kahuku sta
ton to the minimum. During the night
hours, when messages are being sent to
ships at sea, the big engine viii fur

Cross Examination by

Negoro has apologized. He says he's
sorry; he really shouldn It have done it.

carefully on the grin and turned him

he had been asked to, he would prob

probably the best impression it has sue

EXTRA INSPECTORS
MAY Be APPOINTED

At least two extra meat, fish and
vegetable inspectors will probably be
appointed in the near future. These
men will be stationed on the other side
of the island, one probably at Waipa-
hu and the other at Waialua. In order
to carry out the provisions of the new
meat and fish inspection ordinance, it
will be necessary to have inspectors in
the outside districts.
The duty of seeing that the provi-
sions of the ordinance are complied
with rests with the County Physician.
He is unable to spend much time do
ing actual work, however, as his null
titudinous duties in the city take up
most of his time. 1t is probable that
the Supervisors will be asked to pro-
vide money to pay the two extra in
spectorS.

President Taft yesterday issued
a statement, in which he said
that he signed the tariff bill be-
cause he believed it to be the re-

ward revision on the part of the
Republicans. Nevertheless, he
does not consider the bill perfect,
nor in complete compliance with
the promises made by the party.
In his statement, the President
said that he considers the corpo-

is highly gratifed with the Phil
