Meeting Closes Friday

The meeting will close Friday afternoon. It. is very probable that the new council will be named at the Thursday business session while the next meeting place will be selected at that time. A spirited con test is being waged by Kansas City, San Francisco, Detroit, Seattle, and other cities for the 1916 meeting
 With the large attendance, the contests that are being waged for chapters, the contests for the next meeting place and with the general enthusiasm on the part of all the visitors the scenes around the meeting places are unusual and deeply in teresting.
 Nothing but words of praise and com mendation are to be heard about Birming- ham. Everyone seemed to be surprised to find hotel as magnificent as the Tutwiler, while the clubs come in for cordial approval There was heard yes terday many words of comInendation for the city commissioners on the clean streets, while the city, as a whole, seemed to make great impression. This is espe- cialy true of the western delegation.

FILIPINO TRIES
TO KILL HIMSELF

Carlos Ricorcoli, Filipino, living
at Hanamaulu. either attempted
suicide at his home between 4 and
S O'Clock Saturday afternoon or
made a mighty good bluff at it..
With a dangerous looking pocket
knife he made stab at his stomach
the weapon, however, merely cut
ting the skin, inflicting lengthy
but not dangerous wound.
Friends intcriered, but a little
whit later the man got away from
the house and started to the Hama
maulu store. Fearing that he would
carry out his apparent purpose,
his companions followed and turn
ed him over to the police. He was
brought to L;huc Jail and locked
up.
1t is claimed that Ricorcoli has
been acting strangely for some
time, and his friends had feared
that he was out of his head. At
the county Jail, however, he APP
pears to be perfectly rational.

Gets Jail Sentence

In the Circuit Court last Friday,
Isabelle de Ia Cruz entered a plea
OF guilty to a charge of manslaught
or in the third degree and was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for not less
than two nor more than five years
The prisoner. who is a Young
man. while playing baseball at
Kalaheo on a Sunday. got into an
alteration with another player and
struck the man with a baseball
bat, killing him. 1t was pretty
clearly shown that De la Cruz was
being rushed by his victim, and
the circumstance seemed to point
to the fact that the blow was struck
to stop him and that nothing more
serious was contemplated. For
those reasons the charge was modi-
fed from first to third degree man

Shortly

The Chamber of Commerce room
in t h e Stangenwald building.
Honolulu, was literally p; Cked to
the doors last Wednesday morning.
the occasion being meeting of
the stockholders of the McBryde
Sugar Company. Quite number
of Kauai stockholders were pre-
sent, among them being: Mana
ger Alexander. X. w. r. Purvis.
A. McBryd de, w. D. McBryde and
K. Roendahl. Following is brief
statement of the occurrences at the
meeting:
J.P. Cooke, president of The COM
pany, was in the chair. Treasurer
Iohn Waterhouse and Secretary
John Guild also were in atten.
dance. The room was crowded
with stockholders.
The directors were represented
by Judge De Bolt and {. X.
Hemenwav.
What many believe was the
most importar; action of the meet
ing was the reduction of the capi-
tai stock from $4,000 600 to s.,
800, 900. This was accomplished
by reducing the par value of the
stock from $40 TO $40 per share.
Another important decision was
to paw II outstanding nole OF

pany to Alexander & Baldwin,
dated January l, 1914, and pay

cause of the present depressed
condition of the pineapple indus

An preparation of $500 was
made to the Belgian war relief
fund.
1t was found tlta, after all
obligations of the company are
met there will be bal nee of a.
bout $4,000 in the treasury at
the end of this wear. 1t is believed
that this opens the wav for a
dividend.
1t is understood that Collector
Cottrill of the internal revenue de-
partment holds that are organiza-
ton must follow the reduction Of
the capital stock, in which event a
war tax amounting to about $500
must be paid OH the new stock
certificates. This question is TO
be taken up with the Washington
authorities.
