.ELES AVIATION CARNIVAL A FACT

The aviation project Of the Elks
is rapidly taking shape and growing
in favor with the public of Honolulu
generally.
The committee of arrangements is
as follows
Col j. w. Jones, Fred l.. Waldron,
George Henshall, J, d. Mclnerny, A.
f. Murphy J. Walter Doyle and A. l..
C. Atkinson,
This committee will appoint a sub
committee of twenty-five, consisting Of
non-Elks, being composed of business
and service men.
While the aviation carnival will be
held under the auspices of the Elks il
will be a town affair and one which
will benefit the town from several
standpoints, not least Of which is that
it will take the public's mind off ba,

COMING NEW HOME Of
The HAWAIIAN STAR
ON MERCHANT STREET

Tenders were opened at the Offices
of Ripley & Reynolds, architects, at
noon today for erecting two reinforced
concrete buildings for The Hawaiian
Star on and back of Merchant street,
next to the Stangenwald building. On
account of the short day, it is not like
ly that the bids will be taken up be-
! fore Monday. The tenders were as
follows:
Lord-Young Engineering Co., Ltd,
$4,000; Honolulu Concrete Construc-
tion Co., $15,572; Honolulu Planning
mill, S15,S94; Jonn bowler. $1,000;
{ Pacific Engineering Co., $17,472.
Time limits were submitted by each
of the bidding contractors, and this
item will probably have considerable
bearing upon the decision when the
matter of awarding of the contract is
reached
While no explicit announcement
had been made of the fact that the
| Hawaiian Star intended erecting a
home for itself, the business section of
| Honolulu has been aware for months,
perhaps, that plans to that end were
being considered Up to the first of
the present year the quarters OF the
papers plant in the McCandless build
ing, Bethel street, were barely large
enough; and with the advent of the
| Greater Star and the immense increase
| in business in all departments in the
spring, summer and autumn months
greater space and improved facilities
became an immediate necessity. A
number of buildings and building sites
were considered, the choice finally be-
| ing made of the auction room prem
ises next to the lofty Stangenwald
building, in Merchant street, and a
considerable section of the vacant lot
| back of the latter.

TENNEY PECK AND
THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR BANANA CRUSADE

The Star, learning this morning
that Harry T. Mills had subpoenaed
L, Tenney Peck in connection with
his banana-cutting injunction case, in
terviewed Mr.. Mills as to his reason.
Mills said
"On Thursday morning | was stand
ing outside the Union Grill and Mr.
w. r. Castle came mp to me and said
that he was in court when DR.. Currie
was giving his testimony.
He further said that on Wednes-
day he had seen Tenney Peck and
had asked him what he thought Of
DR.. Currie.
"Mr, Castle told me that MI Peck
had said: Well, Mr Castle, we have
been like children in the hands of DR..
Currie; he told us to cut down the
banana trees and we at once proceed
ed to do So.

The aviation meet will be Of two
days duration and will be semimili-
tary in nature, the program including
such novelties as night flights, expert
ments with mock bombs, and war
maneuvers in mid-air.
The date of the carnival has not
yet been decided on but will be an
nounced shortly, The program, how
ever on both days, will start at ? p. m.
From the present outlook the great
affair will occur somewhere around
Christmas, depending on the stay Of

The carnival will wind up with an
aviation ball.
While it has not been definitely set

tomobile and motorcycle races will be
pulled off in connection with the main
feature of the carnival,

PRATT TO MOVE

J. w. Pratt will move his auction
room from the building adjoining the
Stangenwald building, where he now
is, to the block on Bethel street now
occupied as a wareroom by E. o. Hall

next Tuesday. On Monday Pratt will
offer for sale at public auction the
building he is now vacating.
Mr.. Pratt has to get out of his pres,
ent quarters as the land is to be used
as the site of the new building soon
to be erected as home for the Star.
The building when sold will either be
removed by the purchaser or torn
down to make way for the new struc,

Mr. Castle, spoken to on the matter
by The Star, said that Mr., Peck had
said that DR.. Currie had read a long
typewriter paper charging the blame
of mosquitoes on bananas and that
the committee had simply followed
his advice to remove the plants Per
sonally, they had no other knowledge
of the subject. Mr.. Peck said this m
answer to my statement" added Mr..
Castle, that DR.. Currie, in his testi-
mony, seemed TO have thrown the
whole blame on the committee"

thing about the committee having
been made monkeys of by Dr. Curre,
Is that true?" asked The Star repOr-
ter.

said something of that sort as he was
getting off the car, I'm not sure"

FIRST MILITARY
AVIATION MEET
FOR HONOLULU

The first military aviation meeting
will be held in Honolulu soon, how
soon can not yet be said, as the mat
ter is only in the preliminary stages
OF course, it is not purely a military
aviation meet, as Brigadier General
Macomb, while not Offering any OBJ
jections to his men participating in
the meet, will allow them to do so
only as volunteers. This much was de-
cided at a conference with the General
this morning at which were present
Major Campbell, Colonel Jones and
Kenneth Gordon, who is representing
the Curtiss Biplane Company.
Everything is at a tentative stage,
but if the ideas of those promoting
the function are carried out, army Of
ficers will be carried aloft, and will be
given as much instruction in the work
of handling the airship as possible An
effort will also be made to ascertain
just how accurately bombs could be

CAR HITS AUTO
LEFT IN THE WAY

At half-past eleven this morning
automobile No. 700, driven by J. Pool,
mann, swung around the corner of
Bishop and Hotel streets and came TO
rest outside the candy department Of
the cafe Car 72O was left over three
feet from the curb and dangerously
close to the Rapid Transit car line
A few seconds after the auto was
stopped, Rapid Transit car No 30
came along. The motorman must have
noticed that the auto was rather close
to the track He rang his bell and
tried, by applying his brakes and ap.
plying sand to the slippery rails, to
stop the car. His efforts were unavail-
ing, and the car slid along and struck
the left rear wheel of the automo-
bile. The impact was light and only
the nut on the axle was dented
slightly.
J. Poolmann, the man in charge OF
the automobile, got very angry with
everyone. He asserted that the motor.
man had not changed his bell or tried
to stop the car.
E. NJ Cheatham, Howard Adams and
a Star reporter, who saw the whole
affair, knew that the automobile was
left standing too close to the rails
They also can prove that the motor
man did ring his bell, and that he ap,
piled his brakes and sand in an at.
tempt to stop his car.

''By keeping track of the spots
where stegomyia calopus are found,
and by marking such places on oar
mosquito map we can determine
where to concentrate our initial bat-
tie in case yellow fever should again
break out" Thus DIR. Rupert Blue
this morning said to a Star represen-
tative.
I'VE know of five districts where
the yellow fever mosquito has been
found. These places are marked on
the map, and if the fever ever breaks
out again, would be the first places
to be tackled and worked on"
DR.. Blue finished by saying that he
had made a partial tour of the apanas
yesterday, when he had found things
to be going on well. A water hole
formed by the abandoning of an old

Admiral Cowles received a wireless
this morning from the fleet now en-

the ships would arrive on Tues,tay
afternoon. 7sI8
HeNsaid that this was all that the
message contained. Nothing further
was said about their stay in these
waters, or whether they would go on
tc the Orient or not from here. He
understands that they will remain
here for four or five weeks as origin
ally intended, anu carry out whatever
program tha might have been uap

dropped from above upon certain
areas. The effects of these will be
noted, and experiments will be made
to see how airships could be utilized
over an enemy's country.
Use of searchlights will also be
made, if any flights are made at night;
in short the military will give all the
help it can to the meeting, and Major
Timberlake has been directed to CO.
operate with this end in view. The
officers are enthusiastic about the
prospects of the meeting and looking
forward to it eagerly. Where it will
be held and when have not yet been
decided upon, but it is expected that
the scene will be laid in Kapiolani
Park, which will be handy to Fort Ru-
ger and the other smaller forts along
that way, while the men from Scho-
field Barracks will be afforded an op-
portunity of coming in and participat.

rageous, and entirely unwarranted.
We have never been troubled with
daylight mosquitoes around the prem
ises and have never found wrigglers
about the banana plants.
If you believe that there is any dan,
ger whatsoever of mosquitoes breeding
in the banana plants | will gladly fol
low any suggestion you may make as
to spraying or otherwise treating
them, but l do protest against the ac.

unnecessarily destroying our property.

work again. In fact he has been at
work for more than a week "He is
the safest man in Honolulu today"

Regarding the case of the national

that the sickness was nothing. but

yellow fever in the earlier stages of
the latter disease" says Or. Ramus.

measures taken to prevent any spread
