OF the juniors and seniors have been
usually held jointly. This year the
order was changed and each has en-

Plans We're discussed for the pro
motion of the approaching spring
work. These plans were discussed
with cool calmness, but without an
apparent shiver, notwithstanding the
fact that an eight-foot mantle of snow
lay on the ground outside and tho
thermometer lowered about the zero
point. From the manner of the boys
in their discussion Of these plans It

whose tents will line the banks of the
Mississippi river, rowing in light bark
canoes on the smooth and cheerful
waters Of Lake Keokuk, just as the
old Chief Keokuk and his lusty
braves rowed there years ago. The
purpose OF the organization will be
to promote Bible study and outdoor
physical work, and the social side
will be made a strong feature.
The menu Of the banquet consisted
Of the following: Pork chops, ably
assisted by generous supply OF
mashed potatoes and rich brown

Wholesale Executions.

Ell PAsO, Texas, Feb. 2S-Whole-
sale executions of Maderistas through
out Mexico continue, according to
advices received here today.
Everywhere the representatives of
President Huerta have been ordered
to show no mercy to captured lead
ers of insurrecto bands, but to shoot
them as soon as captured.
The result of this policy seems to
have been that, except in Sonora and
Coahuila, the Maderistas have ceased
fighting temporarily at least. Most
of them have come to the American
side where they are expected to re-
organize their forces before attempt
ing further attacks on Huerta,s forces.
They point out that, inasmuch as the
United States has not recognized the
provisional Mexican government, the
Maderistas will probably not be In
terferred with if they take arms and
ammunition across the border.

DECORATED MOTORCYCLES
MAY LEAD BIG PARADE

In case the plans of o. B. Guest,
who was recently appointed chairman
of the motorcycle section of the Floral
Parade, are carried out, thirty or more
decorated motorcycles will lead the
parade. The idea of introducing this
section into the parade is entirely new
and promise to be one of the most
prominent features.
According to Mr. Guest, his idea of
having the motorcycles lead the par
ade is based on. solid ground, for the
reason that if this section were placed
in the center of the parade. the riders
would find some difficulty in running
at the slow speed which the parade
will make and conseque ntly would
have trouble in handling their ma
chimes, and in case of breakdowns, the
whole line would have to stop. There
fore. Mr.. Guest thinks that his idea of
having his section go first is a very
good one, and his plan will be consid-
cred by those in charge of the make
up of the parade.
There are going to be a lot of en-
tries in this section," said Mr.. Guest,
and more if We are allowed to lead.
There are lot of motorcycle enthusi-
asts in the city. and they will be key
ed up to show what they can do"

Big Sisters has never before existed
in Honolulu. II the enthusiastic
workers who have gone into the
movement will thinkingly carry on
their work and never let their inter,
est lag a great deal will be &C
COmplished.
In her article on the effect Of
Womens clubs on the women them
selves. Helen Winslow says:
"Club work has made woman
broader in her sympathies, as well as
in her understanding. 1t has taught
her TO be tolerant of the views of
those who differ with her. 1t has
given her interests beyond the petty
gossip of her neighhors and friends.
It has buried personal spites and
jeaIousies. Perhaps, Sest of all, it
has united women of all classes and
creeds; it has forged massive chain
which stretches from ocean to ocean
in this great republic, a chat n which
binds American womanhood into a
vast army of workers in the interest
of humanity"
AS yet; the close federation of
woman's clubs here has merely been
suggested and though the heads of
many OF the clubs have expressed
themselves as being in favor of the
movement the federation has not
taken place.
The Kilohana Art League in chang
ing its name to the Kilohana Club
and in amending its bylaws did so
with the view Of enlarging its scope
OF work. There has, from time to
time been talk of having all of the
clubs here come under the Kilohana
Club but whether 1t will ever come
about is not known.
The Kilohana Club however is con-
tinually forming new circles which
are accomplishing a great deal of
work. One of the most active OF
these circles is the younger one. The
Outdoor Circle which has done and
is doing a great deal toward making
Honolulu Beautiful,
This afternoon another circle is to
be formed, it will probably be called
the Press Circle. The Club already
has a literary circle but this new
band of workers will work along diff.
ferent lines This afternoon the of.
ficers will be elected and the mem.
bers be enrolled. A number of ladies
in the city who have stories pub
lished have been asked to join.

NEW AND NOVEL IDEAS
FOR DANCES IN HONOLULU

Give us a new idea for entertain.
ment! is the cry of society every
where, Honolulu not excepted. Dane
of diversion because the menfolks
can participate in it. Card playing is
next but it takes too much thought
1eas and afternoon functions are al
ways delightful but still new forms
Of entertainment are always cordial
ly welcomed.
AS a rule the odd things originate
among the members of the younger
set and it has been intimated this
in the very near future and will try
something new, to them at least.
The guests will be given a list OF
popular fictions and will be asked to
portray the important characters In
the book. Even the hostess will not
know what character her guests will
initiate but as each one decides upon
a character she will be told SO that
there will be no duplicates.
The dance in, itself will be like
every other dance though the nov
city will add zest, and prizes will be
awarded to the best characters
If the plans that have been thought
out are consummated the affair will
surely be huge success.
A number of years ago ball of
similar nature was given here and
one gentleman we'll known in society
was attired in the costume of a pig
and carried gate over his
shoulders. He represented the "Es-
says of Bacon"
Another likewise popular gentle
man went in ministerial garb, his
coat resembling a well filled paper
of pins-he impersonated the "Sticket
Minister"
A very long time ago such enter
tainments were given quite often at
church socials and while the young
people here will revive the old custom
they will do so with "grande ball"
The other day a society woman in
timated that she would soon give an
old fashioned party. The affair will
take place in a barn and the games
to , be played will be the kind told
about IN stories of the country folk
of generation ago.
If she does carry out her plans
and the affair is a success perhaps
there will be few more novel en-
tertainments.

NJ NAB s SLAVERY
REPORT GIVEN OUT
Kahn, California, Again Declares
Justice Is Being Blocked,
and Scores President.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE pub
LEGATION to-day of former District At
torney McNab's report to Attorney
General McReynolds, dated May 81,
in the Caminett- Digs white slave
cases. giving the details of the alleg-
ed seduction of the Warrington and
Norris girls by young Caminetti and
Diggs, aroused new interest in the
cases.
Representative Kahn, of California,
and other members of the California
delegation declared the House Ju-
dietary Committee was wrong in sup
pressing the McNab report. In the
committee report before the House,
those parts of the McNab report deal
ing with the methods used to lead
the girls astray; the alleged attempt
to suborn perjury and the revela-
ton that Caminettps counsel had told
McNab that Caminetti probably
would plead guilty were omitted
Kahn declared to-day he would de-
mand that all the correspondence in
the case be made public. He declar-
ed the McNab report justified his
charge that a ystematized effort was
being made to block justice, and that
the explanation of the President and
Attorney General McReynolds in the
case was not well founded.
