shadow to-day over the parade Of what
Masons say was the greatest number
Of knights Templar who ever formed
in line in any city.
Except for slight thunde storm,
lasting but short time. the weather
during the long march was perfect.
From 9 o'clock. when the signal to
start was given, until after L P. NJ.
when the last knight mad passed be-
fore the reviewing stand, the .thermom-
eter ranged from u to 70 degrees
While u cool brsezeS prevented any con-
siderable discomfort from heat among
the assembled thousands.
10000 Knights in Line.
More than 4 Q, 900 knights were in line,
while over 100000 spectators sat In
the huge reviewing stand, occupying
the entire east side of Michigan Boul-.

The first note OF tragedy in the day
came when Hermann w. Grosmann. OF

mandery. was caught in the death
strip" between two cars on 4 emplar
Way and received injuries from which.
he died on the way to the hospital.
In the grandstand two blocks away.
sat Mrs Grosmann, unidentified for
three hours, while she scanned the
marchers for her husband, not learning
of his death until the parade had
passed and she had reached home.
William Hackert. knight from Eos
jtoria, was thrown from his horse in
the parade and dragged with mis- heel
in the stlrrup for q block before the
animal could be stopped,
AT the hospital here tonight 1t is

time to enter their objections against
these measures.
What does II mean? Kuhio ca 1not
read McCrosson's scheme to rob the
Waialua Plantation of its water rights
at Wahiawa without realizing that he
is ostensibly standing for an utterly
discreditable measure. Kuhio cannot
read McCrosson's general irrigation
bill without understanding and rea.-
iZing that II is u bill to nullify the re-
strictions placed by Congress upon
the executive control of the public
lands in the interests of the people 1T
large.
Kuhio, where do you stand on this
matter? You have always faced your
constituents with a clear conscience
and a steady eye. You have, 1t is
hoped, long years of honorable SER
vice yet before you to be capped final
ly by an honorable retirement, COM
handing the respect of all people and
your name. The men who are using
you in the McCrosson measure will
have no use for you when they have
got what they want, and you cannot
afford and we do not believe you will
allow yourself for the first time in
your public career to get involved in
rushing through measure which, If
successful, cannot be palliated or ex-
cused when you again confront the
people of Hawaii nei.
