10 the voters:
The primary election is now near at
hand and in reference to the campaign
for District Attorney will say that it
has been my earnest desire to conduct
the same honestly and fairly. eliminat-
ing therefrom all personal matters, and
! believe that have done so, although
Mr.. Bennett would have you believe
that have made personal attack on
his character. The fact of the matter
is that Mr.. Bennett made claims that
he had collected certain bond for the
benefit of the county, and claimed that
some other attorney might not have
done so. Whatever statement ! may
have made in reference to that matter
desired only to show that the county
had received no benefit from the collec-
| ton and that an officer who had the in
terests of the county at heart would
not have tried to see how long he could
keep the county from the use of its
money, but rather would see how quick
he could get il into its possession for
its use and benefit Isubmit that there
is absolutely nothing personal in the
matter, and il it was untrue, why did
he pay the money into the county treas
ury two days after my letter came out?
He now brands me as a criminal and
refers to me as a snake, but he either
forgot or had not the fairness to ex-
plain that was charged with mis-
demeanor for an unintentional violation
of the fishing law. and not a crime.
desire to again thank those who
hive assured me Of their support and
hope that they will continue the same
at the polls notwithstanding the unwar-
ranted attack upon my personal char
acter.
Very truly yours,

return to her home. She had left the

stricken with heart trouble, to which
she is subject, and lay in a semi con-

revived somewhat and slowly worked
her way towards the house. When she
failed to return in the evening a search
was instituted in which the neighborhood
joined with the family. She was found
about O'Clock after having worked
her way to within a few rods of the
house. DIR. Parke was called and adj

Mrs. Smith had practically recovered
from her experience.

HACKFELD HILO
HOUSE Complete


Especial b Il | G { / n Correspondence
lIILO, Hawaii, Dec. when the
firm of Hackfeld n Co. last Saturday
noon celebrated the opening of its
magnificent new business block on the
corner of Front and Waianuenue
streets, the event was participated in
by practically the entire community.
And the community might well cele-
brate, for not only was the entertain
ment lavish one, but the addition of
splendid new and modern building
is distinctly valuable asset In the
growth of the city.
A general invitation had been ex-
tended for reception to last from
noon until 2 p. m, but so well did
those who attended enjoy themselves
that II was after $3.50 p. m. when the
last guests left the place. People
from all over Hilo and the neighbor-
ing villages attended the event. All
classes were represented, and guests
of all races and nationalities thronged
the rooms. Manager Paul Bartels, as
sisted by the office and store STATS,
and Assistant Manager Hagens, did
the honors for the firm, and made ev-
eryone feel at home.
The entertainment was elaborate
and lavish as Is always the case when
the firm of Hackfeld & Co. is the host.
Champagne was served without stint
or measure, and an excellent cold Ia
BILE provided luncheon. The build
ing had been decorated with palm
leaves and flags, much taste having
been shown in this work, which was
done under the direction of Mr. Hime
and Decorator Hale, who had charge
of the painting and decorating of the
building. The decorations lent an air
of festivity to the occasion, but were
modest enough to allow the rich inte-
rior finishing in beautifully polished
koa to show up to full advantage. It
was evident at glance that the local
branch of Hackfeld & Co. will from
now on have home which is second
to none in the Islands.
The celebration was begun by the
setting off OF innumerable firecrack-
! ers, a gift from the Chinese friends of
the firm. The japanese business men
had provided the exterior decoration
of the building, consisting of long fes-
toons of Japanese lanterns. During
the reception the County Band, Sc
cured through the courtesy of the
Board of Supervisors. provided music,
assisted by a Hawaiian orchestra
which held forth in the main hall.

what miserable Board of Supervise
ors we have, will decorate the re-
mainder of their careers with express
sions of belief that everything would
be all right II we only had Supervls-

ceeded to stir the things up, as they
did, during the past few days, It is
apparent that some outside influence
would have to be called in consulta-
ton, in order to settle the differ.
ences between the pastor and the
members.
One of the members of the com.
mittee of twelve Informed the Blu J.
g t N this morning that the com
mittee has been invited by the Ha,
waiian Board of Missions to meet at
certain fixed date to discuss the
church affairs of Kawaiahao, some
time next week.
What the members of the Ua-
waiian Board want to advise, or to
tell the so-called insurgents of Ka-
waiahao Church, remains to be
seen.
1t is believed, however, that the
Insurgents will be advised to stop
the agitation, and to bury their
hatchets and call everything off.
This suggestion, If presented at ali,
at the Joint conference of the mem
bers of Kawalahao and Hawaiian
Board of Mission, will be objected to
by the insurgents, said one of them
this morning. .#sr.
Some of the old-time members of
Kawaiahao Church are strongly op-
posed to the method of procedure
adopted by the insurgents. They
believe that the property of the
church could be best handled and
managed by the veteran pastor, as
evidenced during his long service OF
pastorate.
Rev. John Akina, pastor of Wal
mea Church, Waimea, Kauai, said
that Rev, Mr.. Parker has done well
in the management of the church
and he therefore sees no
reason whatever why the Board of
Trustees should be appointed at this
time. Rev. Mr.. Akina will occupy
