It's Great Carnival.

Business is growing steadily in the
Pearl City and the next carnival prom
Uses to be a record breaker. It is inn
possible to talk with a Manilan for
long without the subject Of the carni-
val coming up.
Last year it cost us 100000 to have
the carnival" said Mr.. Mcdonnell,
g but at that we made $4,000 when it
was all over"
One of the features Of the big show
in Manila is the athletic events which
are arranged and in which officers and
men from the neighboring British colo
mics compete, the men in the field and
track events and the officers in tennis
and polo.
For next year there is an ambitious
plan arranged for the polo tournament,
(which win bring teams from all around
the Pacific to compete during the Car
nival week.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Nc
DOnnell, who is one of the players on
the team captained by Governor Gem
eral Forbes, said that several teams had
already promised to be there and he
hoped that Honolulu would be rep
resented.

tFrom Sunday . AdyertlssT.l

with tho elimination Of 0onp'cn
sation clause, Governor Frcar stated
yesterday that Il would be possible for
thc Territory to enter into an agree.
ment With Senator Fairchild, along tho
lines proposed by the land board, in
regard 70 $50 acres OF the Kapaa land
tract. The Governors decision already
has been made known to Thompson &
Wilder, attorneys for Senator Fairchild.
Asked yesterday rs to what he had
stated TO the attorneys in his communi.
cation, the Governor said;
&C. told them in substance that, while
thought a better arrangement could
be made, yet It did not look as though
there was any chance of getting it
through ander present circumstances,
therefore would 60 ahead with the
arrangement proposed, but eliminate
the proposition that if, on the harvest
ing of the plant crop after the leasa
expired, the land should be taken for
homesteads, the plantation should be
reimbursed for the loss of the ratoon
crop.
s'That was thu understanding be-
tween the land board and the planta.
ton and, in my opinion, is entirely
without authority at law, and bad in
policy and impracticable. That fea-
ture will have to be eliminated"
The Compensation Clause.
The report OF the special committee
which was adopted by the land board
contains the following in regard to
compensation for the ration crop,
which is the feature the Governor IN
sists must be eliminated:
ssIt was further understood between
Senator Fairchild ana ourselves that if,
at the termination of his lease, the
hOmssteads were thriving and prosper
ing in the vicinity of his plantation,
and applications were made to home
stead the lands heretofore covered by
his lease, thus depriving him of the
ratoon crop after he had made good
! his representations apon the strength
of which we now recommend making a
lease to him then in that event, in the
adjustments between the plantations,
the incoming homesteaders and the gov
eminent whereby the lands in question
| are gwen ONST 10 nOmCoboAuCIHt al
engagements should be made whereby
the government sees to it that Senator
Fairchild receives adequate compensa,
4 ton for the loss Of the ration crop.
Up to the Senator.
That is pretty involved paragraph
but its meaning Is plain and, in the
opinion of the Governor, such a clause
I! in the agreement would be entirely
without authority of law, would be bad
! in policy and impractical.
! It is now up to Senator Fairchild T.
say whether he will agree to the leas'
with this clause eliminated. In hi
negotiations with the land board th'
/ senator asked for lease covering ont
crop Of plant and one crop of ratoons
The board refused his application a
far as the crop Of ratoons is concern

hoping that the company viii examine
its accounts as soon as possible ana
place itself in position to speak with
more authority.
The only possible reason for any such
suspicion was his ambition to be first
in the recent popularity contest. II was
to buy coupons that he desired the
money and many young Portuguese
stated on the street yesterday that they
had been approached by him for that
purpose. Altogether his score in that
contest, which .was never fully count
ed must have neared 100000 and as 1t
is impossible that he could have sold
so many coupons, it is estimated that
he paid out of his own pocket $500 or
$4,000 for them, if not more.
The merchants association, during
the session of the legislature, drew up
bill to put an end to such and all
similar contests and lotteries, trading
stamp fakes and the like. Thanks to
the efforts of this amusement company
and others who were running similar
easy-money propositions the bill, which
was desired by every merchant and
responsible business man in the city,
was killed. The results Of the efforts
Of those who were responsible for the
death of the bill were foreibly Impress

In speaking of Baguio, the Simla of
the Philippines, Mr.. Mcdonnell said
that it was more popular today than
ever and that many cottages had been

The road from Camp One, where the
raiload ends, is in fine shape and the
J automobiles make quick time over the
thirty miles of roadway up the canyon

Baguio itself is getting cosmopolitan

for the benefit of visitors.

Life Story of Former Slave Girl Now Trip Contestant Care
Taker of Children and Central Grammar School Student

Stolen from her parents In China,
when only eight years of age, and
sold into slavery to be brought to
Hawaii. was the tragic life beginning
of Miss Mabel Wong, young Chinese
girl who Is one of the Blu ct MS
smiling and hustling trip contestants.
To see her now, as the happy care
taker of children or as the ambitious
worker for an educational trip, or as
scholar in the Central Grammar
School, makes the early part Of her
life seem like the imagination of some
fevered brain. In the few years that
she has had an opportunity to study
she has made rapid progress, and to-
day she speaks English with almost
the iiuency of one to whom II is the
mother tongue.
Some years aftar being brought to
Hawaii she escaped from the family
who had purchased her OF this part
of her life she says very little. and
that only IA statement that they were
very unkind to her and forced her To
do all the arduous work of the house,

| one who trys to forget and forgive
those by whom wronged, and with an
appealing expression, she says:
THE shadows of my life | want to
pass quickly over, and think more of
the pleasure lights that have been
mine for the past few years"
She was fourteen years Of age when
| she escaped from her life OF drudgery
and although knowing little English
at the time, she managed TO make
known that she would like to be sent
to the Girls Industrial Home. where
she would be protected from her for
mer master In her own words she

1T was the first real home ever
had. The teachers and matrOns were
very kind to me. They taught me to
sew and many other useful accom-
plishments of American girls.
