ARMY OFFICERS
REQUESTS MUST
BE IN PERSON


That President Wilson has decided
to put stop to the practice of army
officers applying through influential
friends for promotion or transfer to
other station, became evident .yester-
day when new order from the war
department was received at headqusr-
terS
The order stipulates that any COM
munication requesting promotion, as
signment, transfer or special detail
Tor any officer, excepting when made
by the officer himself in the proper
way, will be at once referred to the
officer in question, who will be re.
CURED to state whether the communi-
cation was made directly or indirectly
through his procurement, or whether
or not he avows or disavows the re-
quest on his own behalf.
The new order is in line with ex-
President Roosevelt's order of March
3, 1909. requiring that all such re-
quests or communications be filed with
a note on the officers record.

NEW READING ROOM
e FOR GERMAN SCHOOL

Broadening the scope of the Ger
man school, the institution on Bere-
tania avenue which has been for some
years endowed literally by the Ger
man residents of Hawaii, the school
trustees have decided to open read
ing room in the school building on
Saturday, May II, at seyen-thirty p.
m.
The files of the new reading room
will contain a score of the best Ger
man dailies and periodicals, besides
the best books written in the German
language, covering wide scope of
subjects. For all those interested in
German art, music and literature
there will be lecture every Tuesday
evening at eight-fifteen o'clock
The reading room and library,
which is free to the public, will be
open daily during the hours of eight
until twelve o'clock in the morning
and two-thirty until four o'clock in
the afternoon, with the exception of
Sunday, when the hours will be from
seven-thirty until ten p. m.
The opening of the library is a new
departure on the part of the trustees
of the German school, and it is
thought that it will fill long-felt
want for good literature among all
people in Honolulu who are interested
in German life or literature.

TWENTY BLUSHING BRIDES
ARRIVE. FROM EUROPE
by Latest Maill

NEW YORK.-Twenty blushing
brides ran down the gangplank of
the steamship California into the
arms of twenty eager Bridegrooms.
Gladness reigned until the immigration
authorities found that eight of the
girls did not have papers to prove
their identity and told them they
could not remain unless they were
married first at Ellis island, the immi-
grafton detention station.
When the other twelve heard this,
they said they would all stand togeth-
er, and the twenty couples left for the
island to find a clergyman.
The prospective brides came from
Scotland and ireland, and the immi-
grafton authorities said they were the
prettiest as we'll as largest company
that ever came here to be married.

TELLS OF PLOT TO
MURDER AMERICANS.

SAN FRANCISCO - Captain B. r.
hand, a mining engineer, we'll known
ap and down the Pacific coast, who Il
at the Hotel Argonaut, tells story
concerning an alleged federal plot,
Matched in Guaymas, to assassinate
every American resident of that place
on May II.
The Information was placed in my
hands" says Captain Hand. by ma
tive half-breed, whose purpose in max
ing this disclosure, he said, was a
desire to save the life of my son, VIII
liam, whom he supposed to be engaged
IN mining work not far from Guaymas.
The native who told me about the
Plot reached this port from Mexic0.
having journeyed from Guaymas on
tramp freighter. At Guaymas, accord
ing TO the story he told me, he was
as bodyguard for federal or
feials in that city. In this capacity
he overheard much not intended for
outside ears. The most startling thing
be learned, he said was the plot of q
coterie of federal leacers to bring
about the wholesale assassination OF
American residents of Guaymas on
May y. one Of their saints days. and

SAYS ARMY Low
in AIRMANSHIP
CONTINUED from page one)

AT the present time a single aero
plane costs the government about $f0,-
600. The government in the past has
been using. the American machines
either the Wright the Curtiss or the
Burgess machines being preferred.
We are still buying American-made
machines, but 1t is now thought best
to equip, them with engines made in
France. Our aeroplane stations for
army aviators on the east coast, at
Texas City, Texas, and at San Antonio,
Texas, are employing army aviators
trained at the Wright school. At San
Diego, CAL, the aviators are men
trained by Curtiss. We are extend
ing our station at Manila now, and
hope to make 1t one of the most i'm
portant in the country"
When asked the reasons for acct
dents to aviators, Captain Chandler
Shook his head. 1T is pretty difficult
to teH,'' he said, lust what causes the
accident. Sometimes it is never
known. A man may be expert and
take the greatest care with his ma
chine and yet something may go
wrong The controlling wire may pull
loose, a bolt may pull out, there are
any number of things that may hap
pen. 1t seems as if every accident has
a different cause. There are two or
three thousand causes that might give
rise to an aeroplane accident, and l
guess we haven't learned them all
yet"
Captain Chandler, who arrived this
morning, will said for Manila on the
Sherman at noon tomorrow.

YIN. CA. CONCERT
PROVES. big
SUCCESS

An appreciative audience attended
the initial concert of the Y. NJ C. A.
Lyric Mandolin and Guitar Club given
in the games hall of the association
last night. Notwithstanding the fact
that the affair was married by the
noise created by some twenty athletes
IN the gymnasium below, the concert
Vas success from the fact that it
Brought together lot of good local
talert and demonstrated something
new ocally in the way of first-class
strinsad orchestra
Whfls the orchestra work was fair,
the NOD ceable flaws could easily be
remediet by the addition of a few
more guitars. Besides the orchestra
several ,soloists including Mrs. Elsa
Howard,l pianist; Mrs. Charles Hall,
vocalist; md Prof. l.. A. de Graca,
leader of he orchestra, added greatly
to the evenings entertainment. Mrs.
Hall sang in Italian from Puccini's
B0heme and Madame Butterfly, while
Mrs. Howard played a number of diff
ficult selections. These principals,
with Professor de Graca, formed a
trio of musicians difficult to excel.
Professor de Graca made his initial
before Honolulu au-
dience and both of his violin selec-
tons were warmly encored. u
The entertainment was more or less
an experiment, and the club will now
organize itself on more firm basis
and receive a number of new members
into its ranks.

sion, which Is composed OF n p.
