of Marston & Marston, Mr.. Clark has
written that Arm as follows:
Gentlemen: The enclosed clipping,
copied from the Los Angeles Express,
by the Daily Advertiser Of this city,
is certainly a surprise to me. As you
well know, 1 have not been in cor
respondence with your firm for some
months and have not at any time writ
ten you any such statements as are at.
tributed to me. Nor have 1 made such
statements to any one else, for they
are not the facts as to the condition
of the pineapple industry at this time.
l would be glad to hear from you an
explanation of how my name was used
in this manner. The statement at
tributed to me that the oncoming crop
will be large and that it will not be
advisable to contract for fruit as the
supply will be heavy and the prices low,

No Profit in American ships.

cit is impossible to operate an ocean
steamship under the American flag at
a profit. - said Captain John Barneson
at the regular weekly luncheon of the
California Promotion Committee at the
Fairmont in San Francisco n short time
ago. Three ships of the Oceanic line
are now rusting in the bay. They for
merly spent $2,000,000 annually in San
Francisco. The Pacific Mail is not
bluffing when it says that it will have
to withdraw its steamers on the Pana-
ma run. 1t ought to be the business of
every one to raise his voice in pro
test. The government is doing its level
best to kill this enterprise and to re-
move the American flag from the

PORTO R|CANs FROM
HAWAII To Be DEPORTED

Call. - immigration Commissioner
Hart North and Harry X. Bogart, bust
ness manager of the Associated Char
tiles, held a conference yesterday and
decided to deport all of the destitute
Spanish and Porto Rican families in
the Latin quarter who have not been
on American soil three years.
About $50 Spanish and Porto Rican
families have come to San Francisco
from Hawaii within the last year and
all have been compelled to depend for
food and clothing upon the Associated
Charities.
"These families were brought to
Hawaii by sugar planters and others
through promises of work." said Bo-
gart last night, "but the promises were
indefinite, no wage being stipulated ana
the length of employment being left
unmentiOned. Those who secured jobs
lost them after time and with just
enough money left 10 pay for their
passage they came to San Francisco. "

ably take steps to stop these pTactises'

is not in accordance with the facts OF
the case. For, owing to the unfavor-
able conditions, the crop on many OF
the large patations will fall far below
the estimate and the Gamers are con-
tracing with the growers for choice
fruit at 33 per cent advance on what
they were willing to offer in January
SO far as fresh fruit shipments are CON
cerped there will be considerable small,
inferior fruit put on the market but
with the exception of the shipments be-
ing made from Maunawai there will be
very little choice, large fruit shipped
green. And as the fresh fruit ship
ments will be better distributed than
in former seasons there is not likely
to be any overlooking of the fresh fruit
market, so far as choice fruit is con-
cerned. / trust you will correct the
false light in which 1 have been placed
and give equal publicity to this state
ment that was given to the article re-
ferred to. Yours truly,

plenty of kaukau in sight. Around
these open-air diningrooms everything
is being done Systematically, the sub
leaders in charge insisting on order and
system. AT Aala, for instance, sixteen
hundred men and four hundred women
are being fed three times day, with
out confusion, without cIowd'ng and
without, apparently, overtrxing the
kitchen capacity. Every dsy differ
ent gang of workers appear, each with
numbered Some tackle the woodpile,
others assist in preparing the rice and
fish and cutting up the vegetables,
others bend over the score of big caul-
drons in the kitchen, ard still others
serve the cooked food and wIsh up the
bowls. The way in which the work
proceeds so smoothly is worth watch
ing, although the strikers are apt to
resent the appearance of haole
stranger in their midst.
Claim Six Months Supply.
The superintendent of the Aala
depot yesterday stated that the strik-
ers had food supply assnred for the
next six months, if necessary. He alec
volunteered the ipforma alton that "big

This was intended to be bitter sar.

Arrests Slated for This Morning.
The japanese indicted yesterday are
those already under arrest on previous
indictments, consequently no attempt
was made to serve the bench warrants
These japanese will be in court this
morning to be arraigned on other
charges and will be arrested on the
new charges then by Sheriff Jarrett.
Captains of Twenty.
According to information secured
yesterday by the High Sheriff, the
strikers in town have been divided off
into bands of twenty men each, with
captain over each band. A great
part of the duties Of these captains is
to see that their men do not develop
any sentiment to return to work. Each
captain is responsible for the fidelity
of his twenty to the strike cause and
reports daily on the temper of his
contingent.
Formal Cablegram From Ambassador
Only formal message, acknowledge
ing the receipt of their message asking
for an investigation, has been received
by the strikers from their Ambassador
at Washington. 1t is known that Con
sul-General Uyeno is preparing state
ment of fact to present to Takahira
probably in answer to request fol
light from him.

CLASS DAY At
OAHU COLLEGE

Class night of the class of 1909 at
Oahu College last night was huge
success. The program was given on
the steps of Pauahi Hall. The class
and Boys Glee Club sat on the steps
while large audience sat in chairs on
the terrace in front.
The program like most class day pro-
grams, abounded in local hits which
were evidently much appreciated.
Maude de Bretteville read the class
history which recounted in modest
terms every achievement of the class
Marguerite Ashford's prophecy, pre-
scented in verse, was one of the good
things of the evenings fun. The tree
was planted in the lawn mauka of Pa
uahi Hall. While the class were here
assembled President Grifiiths spoke
briefly to them, taking as his subject
President Eliot statement that all the
elements Of a good education are con-
tanned in twenty-five books.
On the steps again Huron Ashford
read the last will and testament which
forgot no one from the Trustees to the
Freshmen. The grinds on the members
of the class were an effective feature.
Harry Lucas, president Of the class,
cdCu WIN
reading poetical grind at the same
time. These elected much applause. As
mark of honor to William Lane Web
ster, a member of the class who died
last summer, President Lucas spoke
approximately of him.
The music, sung by the Glee Clubs,
directed by Miss Rogers, particularly
a new Punahou song in which Reynold
MeGrew sang the solo, was good.
President Lucas, 100, presented the
gavel, the symbol of authority in school
affairs, to Rexford Hitchcock, President
of 1910.
Harry Lucas was in charge Of the
program and its smooth running was
due to his indefatigable labors.
After the formal program, there was
| an informal reception where refresh
ments were served. During the even
ing Myron's Discobolus was on exhibit
tion in the Library. This is the class
gift to the school.

VERSUS
CORINTHIAN

Tomorrow the San Francisco chal-
|enge cup win be sailed for on San
Francisco bay between the Corinthian,
owned by the Corinthian Yacht Club,
hnd the Mah-pe owned by Joseph T.
Pugh of the South Coast Yacht Club
bf Los Angeles and San Pedro.
This is perpetual challenge cup re-
aimed by the winning yacht club until
faken away from it. The Corinthian
Yacht Club sent East for design
3ome years ago and the result was the
lreakiest of freaky center board boats.
She is in the thirty-fve-foot class ana
is built of steel. From the stem to
he forward end of the cockpit runs
4 slanting truss of steel from which
Eirders run obliquely to her sides.
3Nhen she is under way these orders
lacken to leeward and make a noise
like e boiler factory.
But she is very fast and the Mah-pe
3 going up against a boat that has
been tried out in the short chop of the
bay and fitted to local conditions. Also
against a skipper that knows every
pend of the six-knot tide that runs
here.
The South Coast Yacht Club has
competed once for this cup and been
badly beaten. But the yacht sent up
|Tas in the twenty-one-foot class and
Tas rugged for southern waters. Her
3kipper tried to hold her on the wind
jsnd got left. The day of the race
he official wind chart showed thirty.
live miles an hour, the yacht was de-
igned for twelve-knot breeze.
Taking lesson from the experience
Bf the sailors ON the small boat, Mr..
'Pugh has rugged his yacht for San
Francisco winds. The boat has a deep
keel, clean line of bilge and short
nd sturdy mast with wellpeaked main
all to allow for quick spilling.
The Mahpe has already been shipped
Bp to San Francisco and, by this time,
as had several tryouts on the bay.
Everybody in Hawaii win hope TO see
he good sportsmen of Los Angeles win
But.
