April 25-suffragists all over the country are interested in the elaborate pageant, -HThe Dreams of Freedom which will be held at the Metropolitan Opera House May 2 to demonstrate the votes for women" cause. Generally speaking, the suf- fragists of America decry the methods of their English militant sisters and have decided that such pageants as will be held are saner and safer ways of inducing men to give them the vote. The idea of the coming demonstrat was obtained from the tableaux held on the steps of the Capitol at Wash tngton during the suffragist parade on March 3. All the States of the Union and our Island possessions will be rep resented, not specifically by delegates, but by prominent suffragists who will take part. For example Miss Inez Haynes Gilmore, the author, will rep resent Hawaii Among others who will appear are Mime. Nordiea, the singer;

FOUR HUNDRED
MEN LAID Off
Plan Decided Upon by Directors
Of Oahu Sugar Company TO
Center Water Development
Operations 10 Main Tunnel Re
suits in Reduction in Working
Force.

Following a decision arrived at two
weeks ago by the directors Of the Oahu
Sugar Company to suspend much of the
work on the Waiahole tunnel from Koo.
laupoko to the lands Of the Oahu Sugar
Company on the leeward side of the i'll.
and, about four hundred workmen will
he out of employment to-day, their ser.
vices having been dispensed with last
night.
Work was progressing rapidly on the
side tunnels, and in fact, was progress.
ing much more rapidly than work in
the main tunnel. The directors reached
the conclusion that this was unneees.
sary and that much of the work could
be dispensed with. Attention will now
be centered entirely on the main art
cry.
Work will be prosecuted as rapidly
as possible in the main tunnel which
now develops about l0,0OO,0O0 gallons
of water day.
The laying off of day laborers alst
caused the company TO dispense with
the services of number of engineer
and foremen.

II Is believed that the letters and
other data bearing on Pinkham s fitness
for the position, which were dispatched
from Honolulu on the first mail follow.
ing the news of his nomination, have
reached Washington and are now fur
nishing basis upon which confrma.
ton of his nomination will be fought.
1t is not generally known here, but
the fact remains that il is an unw.itten
law of the senate which is never vic.
lated, that as long as two senators OPP
pose the confirmation of a Presidential
nominee, no confirmation is possible.
1t is this fnct, it is said, which has
caused the friends of Pinkham TO at.
tempt to cry down opposition, for any
two senators can prevent Pinkham from
assuming the duties of his office, and
according 10 word received by Mr.. Wat.
son and Others. there are likely to be
more than two senators opposing the
confirmation.
Shonld Pinkham fail OF confirmation
Governor .Frear will continue to hold
the office, for the law requires that he
cannot leave IL until his successor is
appointed and qualified. As Mr.. Pink
ham does not qualify as Governor until
the senate has confirmed his nomina
ton. it is possible that Governor Frear :
present tenure of office will continue fol-
some time to come.

Jury Completes Investigation Into
Cause of Death of Joseph Nc
Kay and Carl Emil Olson.

Without placing responsibility or
solving the cause for the two fatal
accidents in the .Inter-lsland floating
drydock slip I'uesday afternoon, coro.
ner's jury yesterday signed a verdict
declaring that both Joseph Mckay and
Carl Emil Olson met their deaths on
the wing of the dock poDtOOn by being
struck ty piece, of the broken boom.
The verdict in the case of Mckay
reads as follows:
owe find that Joseph Mckay came
TO his death on the twenty.ninth day
OF July, 1913, from fracture Of the
skull and cerebral hemorrhage, the re-
suit of being struck by one of the
pieces of d boom which broke while
being used in placing bulkhead in
position on the drydock now being con
structed by the Interlsland Steam
Navigation Company. +"
In the case of Olson the jury reached
the same verdict, but used the word
"crushed" instead of the term ''frae-
ture of the skull. - ahtl
Tho inquest was held at two oIcldck
in the office of Sheriff Jarrett, Deputy
Sheriff Rose being the coroner.
The Inter-IslaDd company was rep
resented by Superintendent Sheedy and
Charles X. IIcmenway. of Smith, War.
ron & Hemenway, attorneys for the
Inter-Island. he'plrblic utilities com
mission was represented by Il. A. Mott
Smith. the chairman; British Consul
Renters was also present, AS Mckay
was native of Canada.
The testimony OF the witnesses called
substantiated the report OF, the accident
made in The Advertiser There were
practically no eyeiwitnesses, except
possibly Superintendent James Lewis
of the floating drydock, who narrowly
escaped being killed by the blow that
caused the death of both Mckay and
Olson. He told OF the various ORDER
TO lower and raise the three.ton piece
of metal which was to have been used
as bulkhcad for the end of the stee
wing of the pontoon. As the accident
came so quickly and the men wer,
struck before he had time to notice
much. his testimony did not establish
the cause of the accident.
Peter Kanac, an employq, testified
he had finished work and was WASHING
his hands when he heard a crash
When he turned toward the derricI
he saw the pieces actually in the air
and in an instant saw the men crushed
under the impact of the broken boon
end. How it occurred, he said, he die
not know.

GOVERNOR FREAR WILL
AGAIN GET INTO HIDING

Governor Frear will not be at his
Office in the Capitol today. Where he
will be and what he will do all day
are profound secrets.
"You won't find me in the office TO
morrow" said the Chief Executive yes
terday to The Advertiser, "for ! will
be uut all day. It's a secret no one
will be able to decipher.'
Asked if there was no way of get
ting next to the secrdt, the Governor
answered it would be useless to attempt
it. He made no mention of burning his
bridges behind him this time and cut
ting all telephone, Geographic and wire
less communication.
The Governor will disappear today
and his disappearance will be complete.
Meanwhile he evidently has hopes that
those tardy department reports for
which he has been waiting anxiously
for some weeks, will find their way to
his Office during his one-day's disap-
pearance.
