Japanese Plan to Take Active
Part ineMid-P Pacific Carnival
Nipponese Features S Expected
To Be Most Interesting of
Big Celebration

When il was announced last year
that the Japanese Ct Honolulu could
not take part actively in the M1d-Pa-
cific Carnival, owing to the recent
death of the Japanese emperor, the
disappointment Of the carnival man
agement and CT Honolulu people gen
orally was great. There was sincere
regret expressed on the part OF the
japanese community also. This year,
however, the local Japanese are plan
ming to make up the lost time by max
ing a showing greater than ever be-
tore attempted, and to this end a
number of committees have been bus
lily at work for weeks past
Those who were in Honolulu dur
ing the carnival seasons Of 1911 and
1912 will have no difficulty in believ-
ing that the Japanese features to be
given this year will be among the
most interesting of the big celebra-
ton. This will prove especially true
OF the strangers in the city, for 1t is
certain that nowhere outside OF Japan
will one ever be able to see Japa-
nese public festival such as will be
seen here on the night Of February
q when the big lantern parade OF
the Japanese will be held.
Japanese Lantern Parade.
The lantern parade is, Of course, the
big feature CT the Japanese celebra
tion, for in this the Japanese occupy
the entire stage for the time being.
1t is being organized and will be man
aged and participated in entirely by
Japanese. A. K. ozawa, chairman OF
the Japanese committee, believes that
there will be from 1000 to 5000 of his
fellow countrymen In line that night,
and possibly more. Inasmuch as a
large part of the parade is made up
OF individuals, who come with their
lanterns of varied designs without Civ
ing formal notice Of their intention
it is difficult toi make. an estimate
in advance OF how many really will
form the procession.
But we know" said Mr.. Ozawa,
yesterday, that a large part OF the

H0N0LULUS Y.W.C.A,

Miss Esther NJ. Ericsson, general sec
retary of the Honolulu Young Wom-
ems Christian Association, has ten
dered to the board of directors of
that organization her resignation to
take effect June l, 1914. No reason
has as yet been made public for Miss
Ericson's action, but it is believed
that she has received a call from the
National Y. w. c. A. Committee to
take higher position, probably in the
East.
Miss Ericsson has been affiliated
with association work for a number
of years, and during the three years
she has spent in Honolulu as head OF
the local organization, not only has
she been one of the prime movers in
causing the membership to rise from
200 to 500, but she has put the as.
sociation on a firm financial basis
After leaving the local association
Miss Ericsson plans to journey to her
home IN Minneapolis, where she in

Fleet, According to Change
in Navy Dept. Order d,

Honolulu will soon have a chance
to renew acquaintance with Rear-ad-
miral WalterC. COwles, formerly COM
H.andant Of the laval station here, who
is ordered to command the Asiatic

Commenting on the recent change
of fleet commands, w. the Army and
Navy Journal says:
The orders directing Rear-admiral
Thomas B. Howard, U. S. N, to as.
sumo command of the Asiatic fleet,
have been changed so that he will
be commander-in-chief of the Pacific
fleet, to succeed Rear-admiral Walter
c. Cowles, who will take command of
the Asiatic fleet. relieving Admiral
Reginald F. Nicholson, L. s. n.
1t is as illogical as it is unfair to
hold Rear-admiral Howard chiefly re-
sponsible for the hullabaloo made over
the incident Of the Carabao dinner.
Had that been allowed to pass with
quiet intimation that the new admin
istration took a different view Of the
matter from that heretofore held in
official circles. the same result would
have followed and the tender sensi-
bilities of our Philippine wards would
not have been disturbed, as they never
had been before by the singing OF
naughty songs by the bad boys OF the
Carabao Under the circumstances
we did not want to send Admiral How
ard to the Philippines said Secre-
tary Daniels. But as we have every
confidence in h m we did not want to
give him a command that would in
any way appear to be punishment, so
we decided to send him to the Pacific
Mexican squadron. This arrangement
is entirely satisfactory to Admiral
Howard"
This recalls the story of the man
who was asked if the brother who
had just departed this life was recon
ciled" My Cod" was the reply, "he
had to be-" Admiral Howard is not
the man to quarrel with his orders.
When asked what he thought of the
change in the program assigning him
to the command Of the Asiatic fleet,
giving that fleet to Rear-admiral w.
C. Cowles and assigning Howard to
the Pacific fleet, Admiral Howard
made this characteristic reply: MY
only comment is Admiral Howard al
ways obeys orders Give your de-
cisions." said retiring Judge to the
young lawyer who succeeded him, but
don't undertake to give your reasons
for them. Your decision may be sound
where your explanations of it may be

change in the assignment of the COM
mand of the Asiatic fleet challenge
common sense Would it not be we'll
to consult all the powers whose ter
ritOry borders on the waters over
which Admiral COwles will have jur-
isdiction as to whether his assignment
will be agreeable to them? AS he is

on that account.

.. ASKS BALM FOR .
NUMEROUS ILLS
NobIeman, Who Tarried in Ho-
noIuIu, Sues R 7! Co.
for $11,630

Asking total damages of $11,630 for
injuries alleged to have been received
when he fell from a street car at Pa
waa junction on December 80, Baron
Charles ETH LIE Gay has filed suit in
circuit court today against the Homo
lulu Rapid Transit & Land Company.
He AYERS the accident was due to
carelessness, the motorman starting
the car without warning, as the baron
was dismounting. He received serious
bruises and a bad injury to his leg,
he says, necessitating confinement to
his bed for IL days, preventing him
from organizing a proposed new bank
in Honolulu; also delaying his pro-
posed journey to China. The local
bank was to have been organized the
day following the accident, he states,
but as he was unable to close the deal
at that time, William G. Schroeder,
the Chicago man supposed to be in
terested in the enterprise, departed
for home January /.
Among other interesting facts alleg-
ed is that the Baron is the recipient
of the munificent salary of $500 a
month from the Reform Organization
Of China. In brief. his list of dam
ages is itemiZed as follows:
Physical suffering, $4,000
Business in China, $1,000.
Salary from the Reform Organiza-
ton of China, $500.
Physicians and surgeons bill, $3.50.

Prison Inmates May Choose
Between Outdoor Occupation

A change may be made in the oc-

oners-a change from picking leaves
in the parks or doing under shady
algaroba trees.
Supervisor Petrie, chairman of the
roads committee, stated at the meeting
of the supervisors yesterday that he is
considering putting the prisoners to
work at the qIfaFry.
The municipality at present en-
ploys 20 laborersd there. I'see no rea-
son why the prisoners should not be
allowed to do thl8 work. Let them all
work there, quarry as much rock as
possible, which would mean money to
the city and county. We only have a
short lease on the place, so the more
rock quarried the more money saved
the city and county.
Il know that under federal deci-
sion prisoners cannot be forced to
work. They can choose between
working or staying in a dark cell"
Jailor Julius Asch stated yesterday
that there are 100 prisoners who could
be put to work. Sit was at first sug-
gested that they fdo street work, but
Petrie is now in favor of sending them
to the quarry. Sheriff Jarrett has his
doubts if the prisoners will prove
good workmen.
Most of them were put in jail for
not working" he observed. They
don't take to it readily. Howevef, it
won't be hard to try"
Petrie has not decided when to try
the experiment.

The Baltimore club has offered terma

tract.
Platt caught good ball for the vigilant
semi-professional team last summer at
Figilant Park. and has received Offers
from several minor league clubs.
Davis PLAYED second base for the Rich
mond club of the Virginia League, while
Chief Green pitched good ball for the
Elmira club in the New York State
League.
Platt is heady catcher, a corking good
hitter. and one of the best throwers
among the local sand lotters.

last year while with the Nebraska In

beating. much to owner Cassidy's sur
prise, as Bussius is nothing but young
ster, being only eighteen years old.
A few days ago. Bussius received a.
contract from Cassidy and signed. He
will report to the Tri-State League club
about the 1st of April. and is confident
that he will make good.

rather light for the backstop position.
