SECRETARY WOOD SUGGESTS MANY
VERY DESIRABLE IMPROVEMENTS
Would Bring Military and Civilians in Closer Touch Through
Automobile Club and Would Have Municipal Amusement
Pier Erected at Waikiki Beach

The organization in Honolulu OF q
new automobile club, the plans for
which have been submitted in the re-.
port to Chairman Fred l.. Waldron
Of the promotion committee, by II.
p. Wood, secretary OF that organiza-
ton, viii be discussed at and will
form the principal item of business
OF a special meeting of the promotion
committee this afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. On account OF tomorrow be-
ing Memorial Day, the meeting is be-
ing held today.
In referring to the organization OF
an automobile club, Secretary Wood
says i'm his report:
After talking over the matter with
an army officer, would beg leave to
suggest that the committee recon-
mend the appointment of a special
committee to look into the formation
of a new automobile club, The returns
from entrance fees which should be
say 800 to be applied to the building
OF club house at some convenient
point near the army post at LeiIehua.
Not only are the roads in excellent
condition between Honolulu and Lei
lehua, affording delightful outing for
the motorist but by having an attract
i've club house where the army Off
GERS can readily meet the citizens of
Honolulu in social way, will be a
means of bringing the army men and
the civilian closer together. sincere
ly trust that at the meeting a special
committee may be appointed to look
into this matter and report as to its
feasibility"
Another matter which Secretary
Wood has had in mind for some tine
is the building of an amusement pier
at Waikiki, well off the shore, at some
Joint where the bathing is not particu-
larly good. This would be a municipal
undertaking and kept under the con-
troll Of the board OF supervisors. In
order to regulate admission a general
charge of 10 cents for adults and
cents for children should be charged,
says the report. Additional income
could be provided from the amuse-
ments and other concessions sold.
Such place, II properly built, well
lighted and carefully maintained,
would soon become very popular and
bring in favorable returns. Another
matter which It might be well to agi-
tate at this time, says Secretary Wood,
is the creation Of tent city near the

beach to accommodate the summer
crowd The chairman's attention was
again called To this matter upon the
last arrival of the Sierra, by several
young men who came 20 Honolulu at
that time, bringing their tents with
them. These men were put in the way
of renting a strip of land near the
beach.
san Francisco is making prepara-
tions for this years Portola Festival
upon which it is being planned to
spend $150,000. This festival, which
occurs annually the third week in
October, is supposed to celebrate the
discovery of the Pacific Coast and a
full week is devoted to pageantry and
merrymaking. Secretary Wood sug-
gests that Honolulu should get ready
with the plans for the 1914 carnival,
whic hmeans as much to Hawaii as
the Portola does to San Francisco.
Secretary Wood leaves for the Coast
in the Sierra on Saturday, and at the
meeting this afternoon. plans will be
completed for his work while, on. the

Fl. ARMSTRONG
TOBE HOME Of
lO4TH COMP ANY

Fort Armstrong, the miniature coast
artillery post which guards the en-
trance of Honolulu harbor, is to be
garrisoned after ALL 1t has now been
decided to station the 104th company
of coast artillery. due to arrive on the
Thomas next Saturday or Sunday, at
Armstrong, and for the time being the
men will go under canvas on the res
Iervation there. 1t is probable that the
officers will be given temporary quar-
ters at Fort De Russy.
AS the 104th is not to take station
at De Russy, the 55th, now stationed
there, will not be turned out of house
and home permanently More than
year ago a war department order pro-
viding for the instruction Of the coast
artillery companies here in siege gun
work, was issued, and last summer the
105th and 159th fired the big siege
guns and howitZers at SchOfield Bar
racks. To comply with this old order
all the companies here will drill with
the guns at one time or another, and
the 55th gets first chance with them
Captain Winn's outfit will therefore
leave De Russy and go into camp
near Ruger, the siege battery having
been brought back from 'Schofield to
the Diamond Head post, where the
ordnance was originally stored
The 143d >ampany to arrive, will
go to Kameha.neha for the present.
Ii will also drill with the siege guns
later on.
Officers Detailed.
First Lientenants Lloyd r. Freden-
dali and J. A. McAndrew. I'd infantry,
have been detailed to the signal
school at Fort Leavenworth. Gradu-
stes from this school are usually given
detail in the signal corps, which is
generally considered highly desirable
service.

Legal Feature Is Now Raised
Through Meeting of Hawaii

hole for the defendants if they are
brought before Judge Q. F. Parsons,
of the fourth circuit court at Hilo,
prior to the appointment of that jur-

This loophole consists of the ques-
ton as to whether Judge Parsons now

having expired without his reappoint-
ment, and as il involves the interpre-
tation of the Organic Act, would per-
nit the defendants to carry their ap-

This feature has come to light fol-
lowing the meeting of the Hawaiian
Bar Association yesterday, when the
discovery was made that Associate

have no legal authority to sit save as
judges de facto.
President F. E. Thompson, of the

thus to relieve serious and critical

INFANT WEEPS
FOR FIJIS AS
TRAWL SAILS
Youthful Member of Crew of
the Innbrigaria on Way to
Mainland for Chance

When the little old Imbrigaria, beat,
EN- by many storms, steamed out of
the harbOr today for Victoria, with its
sails hanging down listlessly, as if
weary from the long trip, and with
perhaps the cry of baby sounding
from it's after-deck, another chapter in
its unusual and precarious cruise had
been written
Another chapter of its dangerous
trip from Dublin had been written, and
the health of the baby, thrown by cir
cumstances and a desperate father
into the honorable position of mascot
of the lmbrigaria. had been drunk.
And though the infant cried, and its
tears ran down its cheeks while the
crew was making ready to sail from
here to Victoria, there seemed to be
no definable reason for its weeping.
Unless hCmes'ck for the little Fiji
island where it was born and spent
the first s'x months of its life.
The tale Of it's sudden change in life
reached here with the little English
trawl, which fought her way in the
teeth of storms from Dublin to Meuri-

and at Last to Honolulu. where the

But the statement attributed to
Farmer to which the Japanese par
ticularly object is this:
1T is well known fact that many
Japanese women who are of bad char
acter are able to conceal it from their
white friends and to successfully as
sumo virtue which they have not.
Il distinctly remember several years
ago in Honolulu that it was a fact
of common repute that many Japan

their duties for the day were in the
habit of going to Iwilei and practic-
ing prostitution in the evening un-
known to their employers. who con-
sidered them girls of good character
and safe guardians of their children. .
This is the statement to which
prominent Japanese take violent ex-
ception and propose the massmeeting
to voice their protest. They declare
il is an attack on Japanese character
and must not go unanswered
Inspector Farmer gave three
grounds for denying admittance to the
girl-that she is being brought here
for some immoral purpose, that she
is likely to become a public charge,
and that her passage has been paid for
with the money of another and she
has not been shown not 10 belong to

Inspector Moore. according to the
report of the boards proceedings, fa-

Thus, with Farmer and Durkee out

Lightfoot and the case, it was tated
today, will be appealed. Her Japanese
friends say that they are confident OF
securing her admittanee. but that the
bigger question involved is that of
clearing Japanese character of what
they consider an insult. The applica-
ton for admittance will he appealed TO

Stirred by what they declare is an
uncalled-for attack on the character
of their countrywomen, Japanese
residents of Honolulu are preparing
to fight TO the highest tribunal the
case of little Nobu Mitobe, girl held
now at the FEDERAL immigration sta
ton and denied admittance.
Simultaneously they are preparing
to call massmeeting to protest
against statement attributed to I'M
migration Inspector Edwin Farmer,
who, in reviewing the case before the
special board of inquiry, is quoted as
making serious reflections on the
virtue of the Japanese woman.
The decision of the special board,
IL was stated today, was made yester-
day and a majority of the board of
three denied the girl admittance.
This was the third time admittance
was denied here, the case having been
twice reopened because of the speciai
interest taken in IL by the Japanese
consul and others. The consul is one
of those who asked that the girl be
admitted.
The case promises to be notable
one in immigration circles. The girl
is 90 years of age and has a sister in
the territory. II was partly on account
of what he called the sisters bad char
acter that Farmer declined to vote TO
admit the girl.
The special board was composed of
Inspector Farmer. Nj. j. Moore anc
Charles w. Durkee Jr, all of the fed
eral immigration service. In his state
ment Farmer, according to transrip-
tion of the stenographic notes, is
qouted as saying:
''The question of her sisters char
acter does have a bearing on the
question of applicants admissibility.
Three people have been instrumental
in bringing her here, namely, her sis
ter, her sisters alleged husband and
DIR. Oyama That her sister and her
sisters husband are not persons of
good character is shown by the fact
that they lived together as man and
wife from 1902 to 1907, during which
period the woman was the legal wife
of another man." The inspector is
also quoted as celebrating on his
charges of ba< dracter against the
persons who />ught Nobu to Hawaii.
and saying III the parties who have
been inf initial in bringing applicant
