OF CUT

The cut brings the price for No.
2hs down to $50 per dozen. Other
grades are affected, but not uniformly,
it is said. The necessity of stimulat.
ing the demand for the Hawaiian pro,
duct, and the belief of the company
initiating the slash that this was the
way to attain this end, is understood
to be the explanation offered. Other
packers state that the reduction by
the Hawaiian Company works auto
matically in reducing the price at
which all must sell.
That some Of the packers will not
be able to put up fruit for the new
prices is the claim made in some
quarters. others agree that the price
of $3.50 per dozen, or $500 per case,
is packing on very narrow margin.

FIGHT IS
SCHEDULED FOR
ninth OF MAY
A. A. Wilder Off to Washington
to Carry Fight Against U.
S. Attorney MCCarn

Fight fans of Honolulu will be CIV
en- an opportunity on the evening Of
May to witness pugilistic contest
to which Jeff McCarn, the United
States district attorney will be espe-
cially invited.
This is according to an announce
ment made this morning by Judge A.
A. Wilder, who leaves by the steamer
Manchuria Thursday morning en- route
to Washington, there to work for the
recall of the new district attorney.
The fight, says Judge Wilder, will
be given at the Bijou theater, where
Mr.. MeCarn will be given every oppor-
tunity to carry out his threat, which
is that he will arrest the promoters Of
any such exhibition where an admis-
sion charge is made.
The arrangements for the fight are
now complete" said Judge Wilder.

Thursday, l will not be present.

In order to preserve any rights he
may have on exceptions to the new
grand jury, Judge Wilder appeared in
the federal circuit court this morning
and entered a formal challenge which
questions the right Of the grand jury
to sit AS this will be the body
which may be called upon to return
indictments against the fight promot-
ers, Judge Wilder stated that he wish
ed to be in position to raise any
points as to it's jurisdiction Or right
to act in the case.
That Judge Wilder is going to Wash
ington mainly to wage his fight
against Mr.. McCarn was not denied by
him. He said he would take with him
the new district attorneys record in
civil cases. He mentioned the Phfla-
delphia Breakwater Company, and the
George Thielen divorce matters. In
either case, he said, the action Of
the district attorney is open to Sc
rious charges.

CLOUD BANKS
IMPEDE WORK
OF RESCUERS

The wireless section of Field Com
pany E, Signal Corps, established at
Ahuimanu, under command of Serge
ant Sullivan, in touch with the rescue
party on the ridge above that is max.
ing a final gallant attempt to ascel.
tain the fate of Private Walter V. Par
ker, reports that the work of explora-
ton has been made extremely difficult
by cloud banks hanging low over the
peaks of the Koolau range. For a
short time yesterday evening the
weather cleared, and a number Of
messages came through from the
party on the summit to the wireless
men below, saying that the search
was fairly begun and that Lieut.. Croc-
kett and the officers and men with
him, hoped to have definite tidings of
the missing man within a few days.
Although it is only a trife over a
mile in an air line from the spot
where the rescue party is at work to
the wireless men, it is a matter Of
some % miles from point to point by
the only route that man can travel.
Sergeant Sullivan was in cOmmuni-
cation last night with the wireless sta
tions at De Russy, Fort Shafter and
the Honolulu naval station. The two
signalmen with the search party are
equipped with flags and acetylene Ian
terms, so that they, can maintain COM
munication both day and night.
The finding of Fishers dead body
in the Waiahole Gulch, and the dis
appearance Of Parker have led to
much discussion on the subject of
Oahu mountaineering, by those fami-
liar with the subject. It is agreed
that the navigation of these noun.
tafns, owing to the dense foliage, and
the peculiar formation on the north
side, should be attempted only by
those who have given the work care
full study, and progressed to the more
difficult feats by easy stages. What
is apparently the easiest route, is
really the most dangerous, for safety
depends on following the ridges, while
the water courses often look from
above to be the logical paths. The
ridges, while often of the knife edge
variety, and sometimes very hard to
locate owing to the dense vegetation,
are comparatively safe, while an ac-
tive climber descending an apparently
easy water course, will scramble
down drops of Is to 80 feet, and sud.

TEST CASE ON
ARREARS. TAXES
Being Heard
Mandamus Writ, Filed by Jos.
KaIana Against Treasurer Is
Taken Under Amusement

The supreme court listened to ar
guments this morning on the petition
for a writ of mandamus filed by JO-
seph Kalana against City and County
Treasurer Chas. J. Mccarthy to COM
pei the latter to issue him a hack
mans license
The suit is in the nature of test
case to determine if arrear taxes must
be paid before the treasurer can is
sue a business license. The last leg
islature passed a statute which recites
that all taxes must be paid by an ap-
plicant for license before the license
can be issued to him.
1t is contended in this test case that
the statute lis not sound; that it can
be the instrument of hardship in
many cases, and not constitutional
P. l.. Weaver first deputy city and
county attorney, argued in favor of
the statute and against the petition
for a writ of mandate He argued
that the statute is clear in meaning,
that its enforcement does not violate
any constitutional rights, and that it
is fair. in it's requirements. The case
was taken under consideration by the
court.

Other Names Expected To Be

Honor Hopes for Many
Candidates for Mayor

Here you have the list of the can.

of Honolulu, all of whom, with the ex.
ception of the incumbent, Mayor J. J.
Fern, come from the Republican
ranks.
Other names are expected to be add
ed before the day of the primary
Mayor Fern says he hopes there are
50-he explains that the election will
be all the easier for him. There is
every prospect now Of a lively fight
for the place, and one that will be
more interesting to watch than the
former mayoralty contests.
New elements enter into the fight,
such as the direct primary, which will
he put in operation then for the first
time. There is a good deal of uncer-
tainty expressed as to how the statute
will work out, some say party lines
will have to be dropped entirely in
order to put the best men in office.
Politicians, when not busy discuss
ing the McCarn-Wild incident and
its offerings for future amusement,
turn to figure out how Mayor Fern
is or is not to- get reelected. They
seem to be of the opinion that he has
n hard fight before him, but they give
it as doubtful if he can be beaten. So
far no Democrat has come out as an
open candidate against him. Once in
awhile the name OF Lester Petrie,
chairman of the roads committee of
the board of supervisors. is heard as
his apponent; but those who say they
know. declare that Petrie Will not be
a candidate.
