The above is a cable sent from
Colonel Jones, chairman of the Elks'
Carnival Committee, to the Grand |
Exalted Ruler of the order of Elks. !
The Elks now hope that their carni-
val, which Taft, in a letter received |
some time ago, agreed to open by |
touching button in the White House,
provided the telegraph lines were
cleared, will also be the occasion of
a message from the President to the
people of Hawaii. Taft has been
considered as not very cordial to
these islands, or interested in them,
as compared to his interest in the
Philippines or his aloha for the little
brown brother Through his secre-
tary as we'll as through the head of
the order of Elks, he is being asked
to send Hawaii greeting when he
starts Hawaii's celebration of carni-
val week. Great appreciation is felt
here of his prompt granting of the
request to start things going. IL
he sends a message it will be given
out at the carnival on Alakea wharf.
With a flash and a flourish the
Elks carnival opens one week from
tonight,
The flash will come from President
Taft, will open the big doings, and the
flourish will be provided by the bands
and other musical aggregations en-
Jagged to made to make the festtvi-
ties harmonious.
One week is none too long in
which to prepare to attend the car
nival. There is to be a mask ball
which will be attended by hundreds
and il will prove the social event OF
the season in addition to furnishing
an immense amount of amusement
With the dancers in costumes ana
