TWENTY ELkS
Of HAWAII
Honolulu Lodge Had Score OF
Members in Los Angeles
Parade.

Twenty Honolulu Elks paraded IN
Los Angeles in the monster Elk demon
stration on July Is, assisting IN max
ing the float of Honolulu Lodge GIG
one of the attractions of the procession.
Harry Murray, who went to Los An
geles, as a delegate from the local
lodge, wrote home a week before the
parade that he had hopes of having
about a dozen Elks in line, and day
before the parade another letter was
written saying that score of Homo
lulu antlered folk were in Los Angeles
and ready to help make Hawaii promi-
nent. Murray had about $500 paper
lima leis to give away and they went
like hot cakes. If he had had $4,000
leis he could have found a hat for
every one of them, and the wearers
glad to display the unique decoration.

WAIKIKI TELLS WHO
STRUCK BLOW
Continued from Page One.)

Waikiki duplicates Cummings par
tieularly saying that Cummings and
Wetherill had been quarelling during
the evening, and when they reached
the lumber yard their quarrel had as
sumed serious aspect, ending in
Wetherill reaching for big stone and
hurting it at Cummings without hitting
him, and Cummings striking Wetherill
in the head with the scantling. The
murderer and his companions fed, and
since then the police have been able to
accomplish little toward solving the
mystery, but the circumstantial evi-
dence pointed more to Waikiki than to
Cummings or McCandless When ex-
amined before the coroner s jury Wal
kiki attempted to establish an abb
but this was destroyed by the very per
sons whom he introduced into his tale
So many misstatements and contradic
tions crept into his narrative that the
police were able to draw the net about
him very closely, resulting in his be.
ing held for murder.
Both Cummings and McCandless
stick to their original stories told tc
the eoroner's jury, and claim that they
left Wetherill at the apartments OF
McCandless sister, Mary McCandless
on King street, Eva of Liliha street.

the American S. S. American:
This port of rapidly growing import

teroceanic railway across the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec. It is located at the
mouth of the Coatzacoalcos river in
latitude Is deg. 90 min. N, longitude
ga deg. 25 min. w. The harbor is with
IN the entrance to the river, which is
extended to seward by jetties in order
to keep the channel clear At ordinary
low water there is a depth over the bar
of 81 feet, but it varies during strong
norchers There are good range
lights for coming in, but pilots are nee
essary. They are reliable and their
charges are. reasonable. The harbor-
master regulates the berthing inside
the harbor when vessels lie against the
bulkhead along the levee. There Is
ample berthing space in depths varying
from 40 feet to 20 feet. The current
is very strong, sometimes making 412
knots per hour. Labor is plentiful

Money used is the Mexican dollar at
the current rates of exchange. Pro-
visions in limited quantities may be OBJ
tanned. Canned goods are expensive,
but fresh fish and meat may be had in
the market. Water for boilers in the
rainy season may be taken directly
from the river, but at other seasons
this is brackish. Good water, both for
boilers and drinking, is obtained very
reasonably from artesian wells, and is
piped to the wharves. No drydocks
exist, but the railway maintains good
repair shops where moderate sized cast
lngs can be made A little Welsh coal
is on hand, but it is scarce and expen-
sive. Tugs may be had at short notice
by telegraphing to Vera Cruz, and there
IS usually one or more from there in

NEW CHAIR OF STATE.

Governor Frear has a new chair.
This may not sound like very exciting
news, but it is good news, not only to
the Governor but to his callers-for

The new chair is a handsome piece

There are ali sorts Of superstitions con-

some of them back to their origin. but
Chat is already long enough. 1 must say
one thing: Please. If there are plenty of
cats at your house, destroy the kittens
before they are old enough to suffer.
There are thousands of stray cats that
must live through this winter cold and
hungry because some one was too tender
hearted CD to kill them when they were
kittens. Tender hearted? Not bit; just
selfish and cruel consider It kindness
TO put anything out OF misery. and there
are too many animals suffering now As
to its being bad luck to kill cats know
from years OF observation that thu nan,
that kills a cat has just about as much
luck as the one that shirks a duty.

HERTERDOX HYGIENE:
DRINK WATER At MEALS

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-"Add at least a
quart of water to the amount customarily
taken at each meal II you wish to derive
the maximum efficiency from your food. -
This water drinking edict has gone forth
as the result of tests recently conducted
by c. c. Fowler and P. B. Hawk, profess
'ors of physiological chemistry at the Uni
versity of Illinois.
The unanimous opinion of the medical
profession has been strongly antagonistic
to the taking of water at meal time. The
argument of the physicians is that water
taken in this way dilutes the digestive
juices and therefore lowers the efficiency
of this fluids. The University of ILL.,
nois experiments. however, apparently
overthrow the deep-rooted ideas of many
doctors.

keepers from membership.
