With these issues in prospect, the
situation as the convention opened
this morning looked anything but
guarantee 'or harmony. Since yester-
Gay afternoon the talk of compromise
has been growing, and when the kala-
kiela forces came today prepared to
Put up a good scrap, McCandless
thought it time to get in and stop the
81 lit from widening.
There was a lot of hurried whisper
ing around among delegations and the
leaders in both districts were called
into consultation. Kal3kiela soon
agreed to run for the house instead Of
fighting Jarrett. The remainder OF the
program, however, was not agreed
upon so readily, and when the conven-
ton adjourned at noon for a short re-
cess, it was matter of uncertainty
as whether or not the compromise
ticket will go through.
Compromise Plan.
The compromise involves the follow
Ing principal features:
Kalakiela to run for the House of
Representatives.

C. NJ. Poepoe to get off the senator

G. j. Waller to run for the senate.
the remainder of the senatorial ticket
to be made up of c. P. Iaukea and
Chan Wilder.
Two of the men indorsed in caucus
for the House will have to drop off tne
ticket if the above plan goes through,
bat at noon the names of these two
had not been fully decided upon

IS POISONED
Startling Information Reaches
SChofieId from Camp at

SIX MEN TAKEN TO

No Clue to Origin of Poisoning.
but Believed Certain from
Natural Causes

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Sept. "a
The startling information that Com
pany G of the Second Infantry haa
been poisoned almost to man reach
ed the garrison by telephone on Mon
day.
The message was sent from Ka'
huku, where the company was camp
ed en- route into the Koolau noun
tains to continue exploration work,
and stated that every man but one
of some seventy in number, not eX-
cepting the two officers, Captain Jas.
E. Bell and Lieutenant F. p. Jackson,
had been seized by the mysterious
illness and that four were dangerous
E ill.
The auto ambulance was rushed to
Kahuku and returned late in the day
with six men,, as it was found that
two others were alarmingly affected.
Their names are Wilson, Williams,
Kinds, Garfield, Goyle and Heming-
haus The men were reported early
this morning as probably out of dan
ger.
No information could De gleaneQ
as to the cause of the poisoning, but
it is certain that it was caused by
natural means and not design. The
left the garrison Saturday
to be away for nine days,
and among other articles of the meat
of the ration carried with
it a quarter of fresh beef, and as no
ice is availablJ on marches, it is
thought that the beef caused the
trouble. An investigation will be or
dered to locate the source of the dan
Ger-bearing food. Such a wholesale
case of illness is almost unknown in
the service. The entire company be-
ing incapacitated will undoubtedly
cause it's return to the post for recu-
peratiOn.

because Of the fact that the creden.

Democratic leaders of both the

With the convention actually in

Our Bill" for sheriff and his oppo-
nents, l.. L. McCandless, the party's
candidate for Delegate, came into the
breach and began to mend matters at
such rapid rate that before noon

This compromise ticket depends
largely on whether several prominent

that is offered. The anti-Jarrett fac
ton at noon was apparently willing
to abide by the outcome of peace ne
gotiations.
The fight in prospect had several
acute angles. First there was the
open feud between the Jarrett forces
and the anti-Jarrett forces, the latter
being led by Gabriel Keawehaku and
Jack Kalakiela. Several of the coun-
try precincts, particularly in the Fifth
District, had been lined up almost
eye on the sheriffship.

ceded a chance to beat Jarrett for
the nomination, but there was evi-

Wilson's Alleged Attitude.
Another angle was the opposition
of John H. Wilson, prominent politi-
clan and Democratic national COM
mitteeman for Hawaii, to any program
which involved the nomination of
James l.; Coke for the Senate. Will
son and his close political associates
insisted, so it is said, that Coke run

Senate, and wanted G. j. Waller to run
for the Senate. He also wanted At
torney J. Lightfoot to withdraw from
the county attorneys race and becom~
O candidate for Representative. rhe
main feature, however, of his attitude
as conveyed to the Jarrett leaders was
that Coke must run for county at
torney.

BY yGOldherg

An auction sale of thororghbreds is
being considered by directors OF the
National Capital Horse Show in con-
nection with plans for the spring meet
ing oe the show. to be held May ! to
1. Francis ". Ware, of New York, who
has been engaged as director for the
show. has suggested the auction sale
feature. believing that it would at
tract thousands OF horse owners to the
Capital for the event.
According to Mr.. Ware, Washington
occupies the most favorable location Of
any city in the East for the holding of
auction sales, in view of the fact that
II lies between two great horse breed
ing centers-Virginia and Maryland,
The auction sale feature has been tried
out with the Madison Square Garden
shows, where it has proved a success.
If the suggestion is adopted. the sales
will be conducted at the horse show
grounds either on the last day of the
show or on the day following. 1t is
announced that they will be open not
only to horse owners who have ex-
hibited at the show, but to owners gem
orally, who may bring thoroughbreds to
Washington with the view of disposing

are interested in the plans for the show,

CONCERT
IS MOST ARTISTIC
GIVEN IN CAPITAL
Orchestra Appears at Belas-
co Theater With Five
SoloistS.

A Sunday night concert of exceptional
brilliance was the one given last even-
ing at the Belasco Theater. when Victor
Herbert's Orchestra presented an un-
usually attractive program on which ap-
peared the names of five soloists. Miss
Alice Eversman, who delighted WASH
ington audiences a fortnight ago when
she was called upon Unexpectedly to
sing the role OF aida" at almost a
moments notice, with the Chicago
Philadelphia Opera Company, was the
soprano soloist, with Miss Tozier. a
Washington pianiste, Julius Herner.
'cellist, Evan Williams, tenor, and A.
Chiafarrelli, clarinetist, also assisting.
The program consisted almost entirely
of new compositions that had never
been heard in Washington before. only
one number being familiar to Capital
City audiences.
Mr.. Herbert chose the intermezzo from
the Wolf-Ferrari opera, THE Jewels Of
numbers the manner in which 1t was re-
ceiVed by the audience was wonderful.
An aria from Gounod's Queen of
Sheba" was Miss Eversman's contribu-
ton to the program, and to an encore
she responded with Flower RAIN" by
Schneider. A huge sheaf of Easter
lilies and roses from across the foot
lights was the tribute to her song. She
was in excellent voice last night. and
her popularity was attested by the cor
dial applause which greeted her appear
ance. Miss Tozier gave the first move
ment of Grieg concerto, and as an
encore played the "Eccosaise' Of
Chopin.
Mr.. Williams sang "Pauls Address I"
from 'Natoma," following with "oh,
Paradise" in English from "LAfri-
caine." For encore numbers he gave
Bartlett's "a Dream" and Metcalfe's
absent" Under the Linden Trees"
was given by Messrs. Herner and
Chiafarrelli as encore numbers.
A beautiful tribute to the American
composer, MacDowell, was given by
Mr.. Herbert in explanation of the
reason that MacDowells name did
not appear upon the program. 81 have
been asked" he said. "why Mr.. Mac
Dowell, certainly the greatest Ameri-
can composer, is not represented on
the program. We can't have those we

PRODUCE MARKETS
SUFFER REACTION
AFTER BIG WEEK
Only Small Shipments From
Country Are Received
Here Today.

Following the brisk trading OF last
week, Washington produce and food
markets suffered reaction today.
Wholesale and commission rows were
largely deserted after desultory buying
of the early morning, many OF the
wholesale dealers deciding to close their
places of business early.
The dearth of produce received this
morning accounts, I'm part. for the light
trading. Just prior to Easter there
were extremely heavy consignments of
eggs and other products. There were
practically no shipments Of poultry
this morning, prices running a shade
higher than last week, even with the
short demand. Eggs opened at 20 cents
per dozen in wholesale, although dealers
say that with the opening of the stor-
age season there probably will be slight
advances in the price.
There have been no eggs put in stor-
age so far this year, storage firms wait
ing for lower prices to start their work.
1t Is predicted that as soon as storage
buyers appear on the markets the
price on eggs will tighten up, probably
to remain so until hot weather.
