Iy returned from the coast brim-full
of new ideas with regard to pageants
such as are held In this city each
year.
Just what VIII be the biggest
scheme which I shall lay before the
Promotion Committee this afternoon
am unable to say, said Dougherty
this morning. "All the plans which
have involve a number of immense
features, and it would be hard to
class one as being more important
than the others. l will say, though,
that have plans for water carni.

two events the like of which have
never been seen in Honolulu. / have
innumerable plans which ! shall pre-
sent to the committee, some covering
entirely new features, and others inn
proyements on the old ones.
During Dougherty's trip to the
mainland, he visited such cities as
San Francisco. Los Angeles, Portland,
Seattle, New York, Chicago and New
Orleans, where immense amounts of
money are spent each year on cele-
brations similar to Honolulu's events

with the heads of these festivals, and

Congress Is to be asked to step in

This reapportionment, fruitful cause
of many hard fights during the last

the Oahu delegation. Though the or

FERN
AS JURST
BIG SUCCESS
Chief Executive, Portia-like,
Makes Ruling Which Is Car
ried Out to the Letter

Mayor Joseph ]. Fern sat in his
Office with his feet on the window sill
this morning slowly destroying a
cigar and smiling. He was thinking
of the high court of justice he had
held In the middle Of nights when a
burglar was brought sulking into his
bed chamber to receive Judgment.
Taken altogether, last night was a
rather trying one for His Honor, a
night In which burglar figured. the
screams of child, and the Emporium
ing of sons, who had made the intrud-
er captive.
1t was quite an exciting night. But
the mayor smiled this morning be-
cause he had handled the SITUATIONS
masterfully. 1t takes something OF
genius to be able to sit up In bed,
and with hardly any notice convene
high court and pass judgment on a
cuIprit, who might be very deserv-
ing or very undeserving sort Of q
man. But the mayor did 1t, and what
it more to his credit, he dressed him
self In the figurative garb Of Portia
to insist that justice be tempered
with mercy.
Great was the excitement in the
House of the Mayor last night, and
great Is the households admiration
for the wisdom of His Honor, now
they can view the events Of the night
retrospectively Sleep hung over the
House Of the Mayor, when along about
the witching hour, the stealthy tread
of an intruder was heard by Mr.
Ferns little daughter. A scream from
her pierced the stiffness of the house.
But the mayor snored on.
Again the little girl screamed and
this time she awoke young Joe Fern,
who saw the form of a man near the
window. He jumped from his couch
and started toward the figure, but as
he did so the latter turned and fed.
The intruder circled about the house.
and before Joe had returned to- his
couch, he could see the burglar max
ing toward the dwelling again. So

Kaihi Improvement Club Has

A proposition to increase the per-
sonal tax from five dollars to six dol
lars, and to put the additional amount
in the road fund so as to make 1t un-
necessary for special property assess
ments to be levied for road building
or improving was voiced at meeting
of the Kalihi Improvement Club last
night by Lester Petrie, chairman of
the roads committee Of the superyis-
ors.
The meeting was called for the
consideration Of me proposed extern
sion of School street from Kalihi road
to Gulick avenue; q distance Of one
thousand feet, which is planned to be
made under the provisions of the new
acts passed by the last legislature for

Reference, to the hardships, which

SAID TO HAVE BEEN
MURDERED By FEDERALS

Especial cable to the Nippu Jill
TOXIC. Japan. Sept. 5.-With the
entire nation aroused to fighting
pitch over the slaughter of several
Japanese residents of Nanking, China,
by President Yuan ShihrKai's troops
shortly after they had driven the reb-
els from the city and taken posses
sion OF 1t, and with the populace and
newspapers demanding immediate ac-
ton on the part Of the government,
II has been learned that the Japanese
government has already taken steps
to sever Japan's friendly: relations
with China, and it is believed that,
as soon as this is completed and the
japanese consuls and representatives
In China are called home, japan will
issue a declaration of war.
II has been further learned that the
government is in communication with
military and naval heads, that armies
are being massed and that battle
ships. cruisers and gunboats are now
ready to sail at moments notice.
The Japanese government was first
informed of the death of the Japa-
nese by the consul in Nanking, who
reported that, after the federal troops
had driven the rebels from that city,
they turned their attention to pillag-
ing the city, numbering many of the
Inhabitants and captured rebels, and
committing many other atrocities.
During the period of the federals' dis
regard for the unwritten rules of war,
several Japanese residents of the city
were said to have been murdered by
the troops of President Yuan Shih-
Kai. The discovery of the murder of
the Japanese subjects led the Japa-
nese consul at Marking Immediately
to intern his government, with the
result that the Japanese populace
took the matter up and demanded ac-
tion by the government. Newspapers
at Toxic and other larger cities, were
loud in the denunciation of President
Yuan Shih-Kai and his associates, and
were foremost in demanding that the
Japanese government act at once.
News to this effect has been receiv-
ed by the Japanese newspapers OF
Honolulu through their special repre-
sentative in Toxic. The foregoing ca
BILE was received by the Nippu Jill
at one o'clock thi: morning, and is
the first to be received containing the
information that the Japanese govern.
ment has Intentions of declaring war
against China. The Nippu Jill issued
extras this morning and large crowds
gathered before the bulletins which
were posted in front of the Office. The
cablegram does not state that the
Japanese government will declare
war, but the fact that she is said to
be massing her armies and navy is
taken to believe that she intends some
drastic action.

WAIKIKI GAS IS
BLOCKED BY THE
war DEPARTM'T

Waikiki Is wondering where its gas
is. Ranges have been put in many
of the residences at the beach on
the promise of the Honolulu Gas Com
pany that it would extend its mains
at Waikiki. But no gas has arrived
there as yet. The residents have
watched the company put down its
pipes along Kalakaua avenue, but mo-
ticed that the work suddenly stopped
when Ena road was reached.
And while Waikiki is somewhat
peeved because the work stopped,
wishing to make use Of the ranges,
which make cooking much cooler than
wood, the company is non the less
peeved, though of course peeved is
not the right word. But the reason
why Waikiki has not yet obtained its
gas is simple, and is as follows:
The company put its pipes down
from King street to Kalakaua avenue,
and down that thoroughfare until it
reached Ena road Along that high
way it planned to proceed, reaching
Waikiki But they had not much
more than scooped the first shovel of
