OF FAIR COMMISSION
HANDED TO GOVERNOR

In response 10 d request made Sev-
eral days ago, II. P. Wood, chairman
OF the Hawaii Fair Commission. Sat
urday afternoon submitted to Cover.
ror L. Z. Pinkham a detailed list OF
the proposed expenditures which the
commission has in mind with regard
to Hawaiis exhibit in San Francisco

it is in the form of private correspond
ence. the list has not been given out
for publication. Accompanying the
list is a statement of the plans OF the
commission, with which the governor
is to some extent unfamiliar.
The detailed list contains a subdi-
isicn of, the various proposed exhib-
its and the probable cost of these, y
said Mr.. Wood this morning. Il be-
lieve that the governor holds the
same view as does the commission as
far as actual exhibits are concerned; !;
that is, that the main idea of the ex-
hibit will be to encourage people to
visit these islands" -

Oakland Newspaper Tells a
Weird Tale of Plans for
Seaside Tragedy

Three dice rolled on the marble
desk of fashionable Oakland hotel
decided the fate of A. W. Wagner
and Mrs. Charles A. Stewart. the for
mer wife of the man. His first resO-
luticn to destroy his life and murder
the woman came as he rolled the dice
for SKIES The tragedy at the Sea
side hotel last month may be traced
back, for the decision which prompted
1t, to a careless cast Of the dice
Latest reports from Oakland bear
this out. Says an Oakland paper:
The gun with which Wagner snuff
ed out the lives Of himself and the
woman repCsed in the safe of the Ho-
tel Oakland for several days. Twice
Wagner called en- chief Clerk Salt for
it. Twice he turned away from it as
it was handed to him over the counter.
The third time. however he drew from
his pocket a set Of tiny dice and with
laugh said that he would throw
skies" to determine whether or not
he would this time take the gun and
use it-'use it on a little bird that was
bothering his house, was the way he
expressed it,
Salts suspicious were not aroused
for the man appeared perfectly sane.
He was we'll known around the fash
iCnable hostelry, where he entertained
his friends lavishly as a prosperous
automobile dealer Of Oakland.
But with George w. Morris, an auto
dealer 2S46 Broadway. and close friend
OF the man it was different. Morris
saw him off on the steamer SonOma
week ago last Tuesday.
"a day or so before sailing for the
islands Morris had accompanied Wag-
ner to Alameda on a visit to West
Wood, a we'll known auatOmObile man
of the Encinal City. Wood possessed
a little automatic pistol that Wagnpr
took great fancy to- The man
pleaded with the Alamedan fer the
loan of the weapon. stating that his
own gun, repCsing in the Hotel Oak
land safe, was too big to carry without
attracting attention.
Wood refused and Wagner ard Nor.
ris went away. At the steamer land,
ing the men shook hands As they
parted Wagner said to Morris that
they had probably taken the last lunch
together as he expected to 90 on a
long journey
Morris told reporter for the En-
Quirer this morning that he saw Wag-
ner sign his ticket by the name OF
Woodward at the steamer office and
at the time wondered why he did not
travel under his own name.
Wagner was one of the best known
automobile dealers in Oakland and had
of acquaintance about town
and automobile row. where he first
was in the employ Of the Kissen peo
Pie and later the H. A Sellar Com
pany.
He came to Oakland from Australia

ELkS PLANNING
BIG TH|NGSfOR
CARNIVAL WEEK
AntIered Herd from Oakland
and Other Visitors To. Be
Royalty Entertained

Honolulu Elks are planning for a
very large time during carnival week
in entertaining in fitting manner some
one hundred or more visiting Elks
and their ladies who are expected to
be here. 1t is said that there are
probably fifty members of the horned
herd representing mainland lodges
now in the city, and more are arriv-
ing on, every steamer.
The largest delegation, however,
numbering over fifty, will, sail from
San Francisco Thursday on the Mar.
churia, arriving here Wednesday
morning, the 18th. From advices
which the local lodge has received
practically all Of these are members
of Oakland lodge, and they are said
to have had an exceedingly difficult
time in securing accommodations. 1t
was only after the excursion had been
practically abandoned, that the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company came to the
rescue and granted accommodations
for fifty.
This bunch of Elks will take in the
carnival stunts and will visit the vol,
cano/ returning in time to take the
Wilhelmina for San Francisco on the
25th. The local Elks are preparing
a program of special entertainment
which would seem to make little pro-
vision for such an unimportant thinG
as sleep. As one member said: They
will be able to sleep all the way back
to San Francisco, but we want them
to know they have been to Honolulu"
About half Of the Oakland party, it is
understood, are ladies. All during car
niyal week, it is the intention of the
Honolulu Elks TO keep open house for
all Visiting klks.

Marriage License Agent Thomas
Treadway committed a faux pas last
week, the consequence of which he
awaits in fear and trembling. He
granted a marriage license to Por-
tuguese widower, Sebastiao Jose, g.
years old, and Mrs. Maria Moniz, u
widow, aged 40 years.
Such an act on Treadway's part
would not seem fraught with dire pill
kia, nor did he dream of difficulties
at the time. But when his attention
was called again to the fact this
morning by the Star.Bulletin he made
a portentous discovery.
The couple made such pitiful plea
of poverty that Treadway generously
forbore to charge the usual 81 license
fee He suddenly remembered this
morning after it was too late. that
