ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
FOR 1915 CARNIVAL Is
UNDER CONSIDERATION

Whether the advertising for the 1915
Carnival shall be paid for by the Pro
motion Committee or the Mid Pacific
Carnival, Limited, or whether the Pro
motion Committee shall do the adver-
tising and the Carnival corporation
pay for it, are two questions which
probably will be settled by the organ-
cations during the coming week. Ray
mond G. Brown, director of the Car
nival, was present at the meeting of
the promotionists yesterday afternoon
and put the questions before them,
with the result that Ed Towse was
appointed a committee of one to work
with Mr.. Brown in threshing out the
matter.
In making financial report to the
committee, Ed Towse stated that there
was bright outlook for securing
funds to cover the $3.50 month def.
cit in the finances of the committee.
He reported that already 493 prospects
were in vieW, from whom he believes
substantial donations will be forth
coming to relieve the present money
stress. An interesting report was
read from A.. p. Taylor, the commit
tees San Francisco agent. IL was re-
ported that plans are rapidly progress
ing toward making Pineapple Day
one Of Hawaii's biggest features.

PEARL HARBOR
CONSTRUCTION
AGAIN HALTED
Half dozen Sets OF Specifica-
tions and Plans Being Con-
Sidered by Naval Dept.
SECRETARY DANIELS
RESClNDS NEW ORDER
Original Contract Will Not Be
r Carried 0ut-NeWS Proves
Distinct Surprise

Secretary Daniels of the navy de.
partment has rescinded the order di.
recting work on the Pearl Harbor dr.,
dock TO be recommended.
This is the information contained in
a message received from Washington
yesterday afternoon.
Along with this Inclination comes
the announcement that negotiations
between the San Francisco Bridge
Company and the Hawaiian Dredging
Company and the naval department
are under way for the completion Of
the drydock upon one OF six new sets
of plans and specifications, one of
which sets was prepared by Alfred
Noble, the drydock engineer engaged
by the government to Investigate and
report on the Pearl Harbor project.
The information received from
Washington indicates that Secretary
Daniels does not propose now to al
low the original contract to be car.
ried out, but to reach some agree.
ment with the contractors whereby
new plans and specifications may be.
used In finishing the drydock. This
news comes as a distinct surprise In
view OF that fact that only shor.
time ago an order was issued direct.
ing the contractors to proceed with
the work along the original plans
Walter r Dillingham; of the Ha..
waiian Dredging Company is in Wash,
ington. He Is reported to have had
several stormy sessions with Secrerl
tary Daniels while insisting that his
rights under the drydOck contract be
respected. However, what unfriend-
liness existed between Mr. Dilling-
ham and the secretary In the course
OF tkeir earlier negotiations, they are
now said To be far better terms and
much nearer an agreement.
1t has been learned authoritatiyeiy
that Alfred Noble In his report to Sec
retary Daniels disapproved strongly
of the present set of plans and specifl-
cations 70 rthe drydock; and that he
has prepared a new set, which is now
under consideration by the naval de-
partment
The order to resume work at Pearl
Harbor came after the Noble report
was made, and in face of his objec-I
tions. This order has been interpret
ed in some circles as mere bluff on
the part OF Secretary Daniels, made
on the theory that the contractors
were not In position to proceed
with operations; which, IL such de-
duction had been correct, would have
put the naval department In q POSI-
tion where Ii could have cancelled the
contract, leaving the contractors to
sing for their money.

Says Report Will Cover Every
Detail OF Condition of the
|. Hidalgo Company

A statement published this morning
to the effect that the Hidalgo Planta-
ton and Commercial Company had
lost more than 100000 of Hawaiian
money as a direct result
of the present Mexican revolution,
through the hypothecation of the
company's property by the manager
for $1,500,000 to further private ven
ture, which was wiped out by the rev.
olution, is emphatically denied by
Charles G. Heiser, Jr., special repre-
sentative of the local Hidalgo share
holders.
In a letter to the Star-Bulletin, Mr..
Heiser has the following to say re-
garding the matter:
while it is true that the finances of
the Hidalgo Plantation and CONNER
cial Co. are in serious condition, the
statement printed in this mornings
Advertiser is entirely erroneous. My
report, which covers every detail of
the operation of this company, since
its incorporation, will be read at the
shareholders meeting on Monday,
April 10th. 1914, at 2 p. M, in the

A heavy depletion of the ranks OF
japanese plantation and other labor
ers in Hawaii now is feared, it is rum
ored, as the result of the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha's recent application for auth
ority to permit its steamer Anyo
Maru to carry passengers between
Hawaii and South american and Mex
lean ports, following survey at this
port by the local inspector of hulls
and boilers Castle & Cooke, agents
for the line, gave out the information
this morning that no report has as
yet been forthcoming of the inspec-
ton made during the recent stay of
the Anyo Maru at this port. The
rumor has it that tempting offers to
Japanese laboTers have been made by
the Brazilian government through an
immigration Office in Toxic, but just
how many Hawaiian Nipponese will
afford themselves of the so-called op-
portunity still remains a matter of
doubt.
The Nippu Jill, through which the
first news of the expected depletion
has been given the local Japanese
community, is taking decided opti-
mistic stand in the matter. Editor
Y. Soga stated this morning that his
paper is warning the Japanese plan
tation laborers against going to South
America before they have learned
more of the actual facts. The Nippu
Jill is claiming to its readers that
wages for plantation labor in Brazil
and other points of South America are

THAYER RETURNS FROM
MAUI AND WILL LEAVE
FOR HIL0 THIS EVENING

Wade Warren Tnayer, secretary of
the territory, arrived from Maui this
morning, where he has been engaged
in making tour Of the island to
gather information on the needs of
the island as indicated In the move
ment on foot there to issue $119, 900
In bonds.
The plan is to use the money 80 de-
rived for reservoirs, pipe lines and
road improvements. On Mr.. Thayer's
tour, he took in many of the places
where improvements are planned.
The information acquired by him on
the trip will be made use of by Gov
ernor Pinkham In a report to Presi-
dent Wilson in event the county de-
cides to carry out the bond enter
prise. As the authorization of the
president is needed before the bonds
are salable, the report is considered
necessary.
Mr.. Thayer will leave this afternoon
for Hilo, where he will take testi-
mony in a case that has been hang
ing fire for some time. He was given
a special commission Of deputy attor-
ney-general TO act in this matter by
Attorney-genera Stainback.
This will be my last work in ca
pacity of attorney for the territory"
said Mr. Thayer.
He will return Tuesday.

Fl. ARMSTRONG PLANTED
WITH COCOANUTS BY TOTS

In the presence of Major-general
and Mrs William H. Carter and many
local people, Gerrit P. Wilder conduct
ed tree-planting at Fort Armstrong
at 9 o'clock this morning, which was
participated in by nearly so children.
Mr.. Wilder conceived the idea of
beautifying the fort not long ago, and,
with the assistance of the children,
succeeded in carrying out his plans.
Cocoanut palms to the number of
so were planted, the first having been
placed in the ground by Miss Mary
Weaver, grand niece of the late Cen
eral Armstrong, after whom the fort
was named. The other children fol-
lowed her in turn. Following the

not as high as inlHawaii, nor are the
conditions as good. ID
According to the Nippu Jill, the
Brazilian government recently COM
lmunicated with an immigration hui in
Toxic and presented tempting offer
for Japanese laborers. 1t is believed
that this is one of the direct results
of the head Office of the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha in Yokohama asking for per-
mission to have the Anyo Maru carry
passengers between Hawaii and South
American ports :
Following is translation of an ar
ticle appearing in recent edition of
the local Japanese daily: {.
"The Anyo Maru arrived in Homo.
lulu Aprils11 en- route to South Amer.
ican ports. On the 14th she, under.
went a survey by the local inspector
of hulls and boilers, which inspection
was requested by the main office of
the Toyo Kisen Kaisha at Yokohama.
This action on the part of the T. K
X. is, taken to believe that the com.
pany intends establishing a passenger
service between Hawaii and South
American and Mexican ports. Here
tofore, the T. X. K. has carried only
freight. 1t now is evident that, In
case this permission is granted, many
Japanese laborers will leave Hawaii
for South America"

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, April 18.
At a late hour this morning moth
ing had been seen or heard of Lewis,
the colored soldier under charges of
highway robbery who escaped from
the Schofield guard house in shackles
Tuesday night. ...
Night before last man thought to
be Lewis was halted by the. sentinel
on post No. Z. The sentry was re-
cruit and before the corporal Of the
guard arrived the man had eluded
him.
Yesterday a large squad of the 25th
Infantry under command of Lieut..
Harbold was out all day searching
the ravines, and is out again today.
1t is believed by the officers of the
25th that Lewis was in hiding until
yesterday somewhere near the post,
and that food and clothing were car
ried to him by some Of the accom-
plices in his escape. A Filipino who
lives in one Of the ravines reported
that colored soldier took all his food
away from him early yesterday morn
ing. The boat house at the reservoir
near Wahiawa was broken into and
shows evidences of having been used
as sleeping quarters.
1t is believed that Lewis will make
every effort to get away from the is
land as the crimes he has committed
are sufficient to place him in mill
tary prison for more than 40 years.

Lewis was positively identified by
Special Police Officer Gray of Wahia-
wa yesterday afternoon, as Gray, then
was afoot, following a direc-
ton near the big dam, when on the
other side, he saw a man who he de-
clares was Lewis, speeding down
deep ravine in the direction of Eva.
Il am positive that the colored man
was Lewis" declared Gray this morn
ing, who came into the city to report
