CARMEN RAISE BIC
FUND At 4 DANCE

Honolufu's street-carmen rang up
so many fares to the K. of ?. Han
last night, on the occasion of the
fourth annual shirt-waist dance given
by the Honolulu Street Railway En-
ployes' Benefit Association, that they
grew tired, for the bell tinkled away
to the tune of nearly $500, and most
of that will go in as cash to sWeli
the benefit fund, which has become
rather low since the first of the year
The fourth annual dance was the
most successful of all. financially and
socially, and it was the largest crowd
which ever responded to the call OF
the carmen. The K. of P. Hail was
packed, and for the first few dances
the dancers had some difficulty IN
navigating, but with the excellent
music furnished by Sam Nainoa's sing
ing boys, the dancers finally swung
into line and had a pleasurable even
ing until just the stroke of midnight,
when the last cars started for Wal
kiki and Kalihi.
In the hallway was a big bowl f1ll-
ed with cold lemonade, and in another
howl was a fine elaret punch provided
by Senator Mccarthy.
The benefit association is one of the
most practical of aids to the sick en-
ployes. From this fund they derive
sick and living benefits. During the
past six months so many men have
been on the sick list that heavy drains
have been made on the cash, but the
dance given last night will help things
out. Those in charge Were: Floor

S. F. Commercial News, April 90
Colonel Samuel Parker, the Hawaiian
sugar king and multi-millionaire, is
now in Los angeles at the Hotel AL
exandria. He left Honolulu, February
9th. gong to Washington, where he
met President Taft. He also visited
Cuba, looking over sugar projects, but
did not put through any deals. This
is his first visit to Los Angeles for
many years, when he was interested
with the Spreckels brothers in the
sugar business.
On Tuesday evening the Colonel en-
tertained Prince Kuhio Kalanianaoie,
delegate from Hawaii to Washington,
at dinner at the Alexandria.
Colonel Parker is one of the most
distinguished citizens of Hawaii, hav-
ing been a member of the cabinet of
former Queen Liliuokalani, and a
NOBLE which corresponds to the Of
flee of Senator in the United States.
Years ago he lost much of his
wealth in fighting for the protection
of Hawaiian sugar interests, but he
has habit of winning out in the end
and is now independent. In addition
to his sugar interests, he is cattle
and ship magnate, and is interested in
irrigation projects on the island he

UNIVERSITY CLUB HAD
FAIRBANKS FOR GUEST

In the form of great q the tables
were arranged on the University Club 5
open and cool lanai last evening and
around them sat ffty-three members
and friends to do honor to former Vice
President Charles W.. Fairbanks. It
was notable gathering of represen-
tative men of Honolulu including Fed
eral and territorial officials, army, navy
and marine corps men, and many gem
tlemen who are among the most prom
inent in legal and business circles. Mr..
Fairbanks sat at the right of Governor
Frear and at his right was j. p. Cooke
and Ex-Governor Carter During the
dinner, Governor Frear being toastmas-
ter, there were few brief addresses.
The Governor, in opening the speech
making, called for toast to The
President, which was responded to
by Mr.. Carter, following which the
Governor gave the toast, 1.-THE Guest
of Honor to which Mr.. Fairbanks
responded amid applause. The distin-
guished speaker referred at some length
to education and paid a great tribute
ito the value and influence of the small
college, quoting a portion of Daniel
Webster's speech referring to Dart
mouth College. As to local affairs ne
referred to Governor Frear's comment
on the great and big things which Ha-
waii possessed-the biggest extinct vol
cano, the biggest active volcano, the
biggest sugar mills in the world, but
Mr.. Fairbanks said that the Governor
was modest in not mentioning all the
big things to be found in Hawaii, the
principal one in his opinion being
the big, generous Hawaiian hospitality
accorded to the stranger in the Islands.
The concluding portion of the enter
tainment was purely Hawaiian in char
acter and was arranged by Mr.. James
Wilder. This included not only the
fine music of Kaai's quintet club, but
the ancient nose-fute playing perform
ed by an aged inmate of the Lunallio
Home; music on the ukeke, and OLD
Hawaiian dances by a corps OF Hawai-
ian girls who measured the steps to the
accompaniment of gourd beating.

After gazing into the depths of Hale
smaumau in the crater of Kilauea, for
mer Vice President Fairbanks express
ed the opinion that the volcano was one
OF the greatest natural wonders in the
world, and that it had burned such an
impression upon his mind that he would
reAemher il as long as he lived. He
expressed surprise that more people did
not visit it.
Mr.. Fairbanks and family, Governor
lear, A. L. C. Atkinson, and L. A.
Thnrston returned yesterday morning
on the Mauna Kea from very de-
lightful, although strenuous, trip over
the Islands of Maui and Hawaii.

KEEPS FOR 100 YEARS

Lava from the flow of 1901 at Hua-
lalai. Kona, Hawaii. is ON exhibition in
the Promotion Committee rooms, and
some exceedingly interesting specimens
are shown. Several dozen weird-shaped
chunks of the volcanic overflow were
donated by John Mcguire of Kona and
these will be sc s to Seattle to be ex-
hibited at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Elk
position A few Of the lava speei-
mems have large. even holes through
them. showing that they once covered
the limbs of trees. Perhaps the most
wonderful part Of the thing is that in

trees, after lying for over one hundred
years in lava case. is still intact It
is considerably rotted, however, and
crumbles at a finger s touch.

BIG FIRE, PROVABLE
Supreme Court Reverses Lower
Court in Patterson Estate

The act of the Legislature MAXI a
will destroyed in a public calamity
provable was upheld by the supreme
court yesterday when the order re-
fusing to admit the will of Catherine
Patterson, deceased, to probate, as a
destroyed Will, was reversed.
The will was executed several years
before the fire and one of the principal
legatees was a Fannie Smith. step
daughter of the deceased woman. The
instrument had been placed in the law
Office of George A. Connolly for sa fe
keeping, but was destroyed in the fire
of April, 1906
Shortly after the fire Miss Patter-
son died ignorant of the fact that the
will had been destroyed. Ella Quigley
applied for and was granted letters of
administration and Mrs. Smith filed a
contest, asking for the probate of the
alleged will Testimony of witnesses
TO the will and of George A. Connolly,
the attorney who drew 1t uu, nroved
that the will had existed and the court
held yesterday that the fact that the
will had been destroyed does not prove
that 1t did not exist.
