THIRTY AUTOS
ARE PROMISED
Floral Parade Committee Re.
coivcs Assurances Of Support
from Community

Thirty automobiles positively prom.
.sed for the coming Floral Parade. md
as many morc almost as good as prom.
scd. was the report made yesterday
afternoon by The members of the auto
mobile committee, which has been work
ing on the ciiy's automobile owners
for the past several weeks.
The meeting was held at the rooms
Of the Hawaii Promotion Committee
and was presided over by Fred c.
Smith, chairman. Il was the FIRST meet.
ing since the lists were distributed
among the members, and the results,
u is needless to say were exceedingly
gratifying.
As one member Of the committee was
not present, 1t is safe TO say that a
number Of names could be added to the
Sure list with his report at hand.
The matter Of prizes was discussed
at some length, but will not be formally
decided for some time, in all probabil-
ity. The members of the committee
have been sounding the sentiment of
motorists on this subject, and the re-
suit seems to indicate that most of
them feel that there would be "A ten
dency to shirk the work Of decorating
# there is to be no judging of merits.
In other words, that the exceedingly
high standard in both ideas and charac.
ter of decorations which has heretofore
been maintained is likely TO suffer.
The automobile committee is made
up of Fred c. Smith (chairman), Mrs
NJ. Phillips, Mrs. II. &. Noonan, Mrs.
c. b. Cooper, DR.. o. Z. Wall, Sherwood
Lowrey and Frank Armstrong.
Other features of the parade are also
progressing we'll. Miss Rose Dawson,
who has charge of the intersland prin-
cess section, has been assured by Frank
Thompson of the Lanai syndicate that
the Island Of Lanai viii furnish a prin-
cess, suitably mounted, together with
an escort of.six pau riders. 1t is prob
able that Miss Cav, the charming daugh'
ter of Charles Gay &c Lanai, will be
chosen as Lanai s princess,
Harry Won Holt has also promised
Mrs Eben Low, who has charge of the
pau riders section, twenty picked
horses for her purpose.

THREE HOMESTEADS
TAKEN UP IN KONA

After all the loud demands for public
lands which have echoed up from Ha-
waii, the homesteads now being offered
seem to be the last thing wanted ON the
fire island Governor Frear, writing
from Waiohinu, states that only three
homesteads were disposed of in Kona,
the letter containing the information
reaching the executive chambers by
Saturdays mail. The Governor was
then at Waiohinu, expecting to be in
Hilo last night.
The Waiohinu lands were the subject
of much protest from Hawaii some time
ago where the entire territorial execu-
tive was lampooned for its alleged al
most criminal procedure in regard to
them, bad faith with homesteaders, etc,
etc, and the present demand for them
is certainly astonishing,

money and when the money was de-

explanation, when Leong stated that
five cents was for expenses, twenty
cents for the payment Of clerks and
the dollar to be turned in to the Chi
nese government. As the government
rad not demanded the $1.25, nor the
proclamation of Minister Chang men
toned the $l.25, therefore the money
was to be collected only by Leong, and
there is no doubt about that.
"The census proposition was opposed
strongly by this paper, which asked
why Leong should collect the money
and for what, After our paper expos.

anything about schools. This was lie

These delicate questions are raised in
the suit recently filed by S. X. Kaeo
administrator of the estate of Au Con
Chez against Marston Campbell and Au
Chong.
Au Con Chez, the deceased gentleman
and Au Chong, one of the defendants
are or We're brothers. Au Con Chez had
aspirations to become a landholder be
fore his untimely demise and with that
end in view leased a block of land nj
Kapaa. Before the lease could be made
out, although the preliminary papers
had been prepared, Au Con Chee shut
fled off this mortal coil and the Terri
tory lost a customer.
After he died Au Chong, the brother
expressed a desire for the property
and Tucker expressed his desire to lease
it to another party. This little mutual
understanding having been arranged Au
Chong found himself privileged to pay
taxes on Kapaa land Or so it is alleg.
ed in the answer to the complaint filed
yesterday by Au Chong.
The estate IS administrator, however,
alleges otherwise. He claims that Au
Chong, upon learning of his brother Is
pending deal, disguised himself as the
one who afterward died, presented him
self before Tucker and got the lease un-
der the name of Au Con Chez, Now
the administrator demands that the
lease be vacated and the property duly
turned over TO the estate.
Tucker is anxiously awaiting his
vindieation in the courts.

Must Cater to Trade.
But there is one thing certain and
that is that America has to compete
against European nations in seeking the
trade of China, and America is without
ships. 1t has no merchant marine to
carry the trade, while British, German
and other ships are thick all over the
oriental waters. The British and Ger.
mans, the Belgians and others in for
oriental trade, find out what the ori-
entail customer wants and gives the
commodities to him as he wants them.
American manufacturers endeavor to
force upon the oriental customer prod
ucts put up as the American believes
is the proper way. That is where the
European manufacturer gets the best of
the business

ing sections generally supporting the
proposition and the French province be-
ing opposed. Henry Bourassa, an elo-
quent FFeDch-Canadian member of par
llament, headed an insurgent movement
against the French Canadian premier
ana allied himself with the CgHserva-
tive opposition. The main objections
to the maintenance of a naFy, otheF
than the expense, were that the CaRa-
dians would be taxing themselves to
support a portion of the imperial navy,
over which they had no me&s8rs of con-
troll. Laurier met this by amending his,
original proposal, that Canada should
purchase hel cruisers from British build
ers and place them practically unre--
servedly in the British fleet, by stipu-
lating that the ships would be Canadian
in all respects, but held in readiness to
help the mother country whenever
needed.
The Canadians have already one
cruiser in commission, the Rainbow,
purchased in Great Britain.
The Canadian naval vessels win be
stationed in equal strength in the Pa
cific and Atlantic. There win be no
attempt msae by Canada to open up
the question of the abrogation of the
Rush -Bagot treaty, which prohibits the
presence of war vessels on the Great
Lakes or the establishment of navy
yards or ship.building yards equipped
for warship construction along the
Great Lakes.
