Especial Star Bulletin correspondence
HILO, Hawaii. May 5.-Placidity of
life in Hilo has again been stirred to
the depths by another eruption of
business meeting in the First Foreign
church yesterday, meeting which
started in the church with all the
peacefulness, appropriate to the quite
Sabbath morning, ended with weep
ing women clinging to the arms of
friends, angry men glaring defiance
at each other, and frightened children
fleeing from the church doors to the
safety of waiting automobiles, while
a few amazed visitors. unwilling wit
nesses of the eruption, attempted to
avoid the after discussion of the un-
usual church scene
When the meeting closed, two of
the most prominent men of the city,
pillars in the support of the church,
had rendered their designations, and
another prominent member had walk
cd from the church declaring that the
meeting had adjourned, while still an
ether shouted: "It has not adjourned" j"
John Scott and c. C. Kennedy,
around about and from whom almost
every activity of the town circulates
and has its source in business or
church work, were the men who had
resigned. An anonymous letter di-
rected to Kennedy and received by
him was declared to be the cause of
the imbroglio.
When the congregation was asked
TO remain after church for business
meeting it was supposed to be in or
der 10 fill the pulpit recently vacated
by the Reverend August brahms. But
the first order of business was the
reading of letter of resignation from
Kennedy.
Tribute Paid Kennedy.
E. N. Holmes, Hilo business man
and a trustee of the church, read the
letter, after which he paid high trib-
pte to the work of Kennedy, stating
that no man had ever zone so much
for the church, with the possible ex-
ception of DR.. Wetmore, one of the
early founders. He then continued in

Hurry to Distribute the
PlumS

TO BE RECK0NE0 WITH
Belief General That Wilson Is
Holding Appointments to
Force Tariff Bill
BY C. S. ALBERT.
Special Star-Bulletin COrrespondence1


WASHINGTON, ID. c., April "a
Democratic politicians are becoming
much incensed because President VIII
son does not hand out the pie and
prevent them from being besieged day
and night by their constituents. The
onslaught of office-seekers has become
trifle unnerving In addition, there
are daily demands for temporary loans
to chase the wolf away until the sal
airy from the government comes along.
This is drain on the pocketbook and
does not appear to bring the longed-
for job any nearer.
Up to this time the president has
made but few appointments. He has
been in Office two months and the list
Of nominations, aside from these in
the army and navy, has not even ap-
proximated the hundred mark. At
present about 5000 places are ready
for filling and this number is increas-
ing at the rate of nearly 100 a day.
This fact does not worry the presi-
dent and there are no indications that
he will soon cut loose and turn in a
big batch of nominations.
Meantime, there are from five to
fifty hungry Democrats in town for
each position open and ready to nail
down the job if opportunity is pre-
sented. A large proportion of these
are already occupying the status of
flood sufferers. They are approach
ing the stage of bankruptcy. The
blame for non-action is distributed
equally between the president, his
cabinet ministers and members of
congress.
A large number of public men have
now reached the firm conclusion that
President Wilson is holding up all
federal patronage and will use it as
club in driving his tariff revision bill
through the senate. This has created
great apprehension, as the policy cor
responds to that followed by Col.
Roosevelt, when in the saddle, and
which was quite unpopular all around.
1t is almost regarded as certain that
President Wilson will keep the choic
est plums in his own hands and give
them out if it becomes necessary to
use the big stick in securing votes for
free sugar or free wool.
This feeling of apprehension has
caused many good Democrats to be-
come disgruntled. They had expected
a change from former methods of put
ting over a tariff measure, but are
now willing to, confess that the net re-
suit promises to be the same.

CHASE after
URCH|N

Circuit Judge W. l.. Whitney, a
Chinese court interpreter, Hawaiian
court interpreter and a score of small
boys of many nationalities Joined in a
mad, merry 'man hunt" yesterday aft
ernoon in the vicinity of the judiciary
building that has proved the most ex-
citing event in the local court annals
since last summer. when a young cou-
pie eloped from Judge Whitney's Of
flee and succeeded in getting married
before the irate parents could catch
them
Judge Whitney yesterday cast his
spectacles and legal dignity to the
wind. Jumping into his motor car he
gave chase to an urchin that had es-
capped from his juvenile court His au-
to described a hair-raising parabola as
it rounded the corner at King and
Punchbowl streets and it was feared
he was going to puncture the speed
regulations.
The culprft. hotly pursued by Farm
Cornn, the Chinese interpreter and A.
X. Aona, the Hawaiian interpreter,
lodged through the big livery barn
nearby and dashed through the tomb
stone factory. leaping over the marble
slabs and finally coming out on Punch
bowl street. Like a rabbit he turned
then and darted down Punchbowl TO-
ward the waterfront. Behind arose
the hue and cry of the hunt, the in
terpreters waving their arms, Dutch
windmill fashion, and Judge Whitney's
auto roaring down the street making
noise like a gatling gun in action
A crowd of urchins at play in the
street Joined in the chase. One little
fellow offered his bicycle to Aona The
tlong-legged interpreter grabbed it and
climbed hastily on, but found he could
not move because his knees interfered
with the proper manipulation of the
handlebars. so he climbed off again
and resumed the chase afoot
The chase turned up Queen street.
Other boys in that neighborhood,
hearing the hallooing, joined in the
hunt, and finally the young delinquent
was surrounded in the rear of car.

resenting the Hilo board of trade in
the pending revision of the sugar
schedule. He does not openly admit
that he had any aspirations beyond
seeking to prevent the placing of sugar
on the free list, but it became noised
abroad that he would not decline the
governorship Further, it was limited
that he might prove quite acceptable
in the event that the forces or Waller
and McCandless could not arrange
some se~ of compromise.
Irwin is well known to the politi-

faction. He was delegate to the
Baltimore convention and a member of
the committee that prepared the plat

that she cannot live comfortably on

erly constructed. The comedy is
snappy and lively and is splendidly
done, having the burden of the piece
on the shoulders of Cecil Lyndon who
carries it admirably. He is a natural
comedian and works easily and grace
fully. The plot of the piece is ludf-
crous and deals with the theme IF
mistaken identity through similarity

less opportunity for confusing and
amusing complications and they are
entertainingly worked up.

being the premier chorus of the sea-

with these distinct novelties and many
others, there is some real pretty music

relief from the stereotyped musical
comedy that is so often foisted on
the dear public-Advt.
