Away After Long Illness
Was Mainland Favorite

John Sumner Ellis, known over the
country as the Hawaiian Caruso for
his wonderful and sweet voice which
has charmed thousands, died yester-
day afternoon at the home of e. Buff
fandeau after an illness which lasted
for nine months. Unable to recover
his health in New York, where he was
engaged as the singer in one of the
fashionable cafes, Ellis returned to
Honolulu two weeks ago. He died at
4:30 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Formerly one of the leading sing.
ers of the islands with Ernest Kaai.
and for long time connected with
the Hawaiian band, Ellis was one of
the best known singers of native songs
of the territory, and his wonderful
voice, heard in many cities over the
mainland, did much to popularize the
Hawaiian melodies.
Ellis was married five years ago to

Hawaii may not suffer any loss in

Now therefore, be II resolved, by the

Hawaii, in convention assembled, that

reduced, or the right to vote taken
from US; and further respectfully re-
quest the national committee Of the
Republican party to give careful con-
sideratfon to our claims in this re-
spect before taking final action; with
the assurance on our part, however,
that whatever action may be taken by
the national committee, the Republic
an party of the territory will always
be found steadily adherins to the prin-
ciples Of the Republican party.
And be It further resolved, that

Maui Agricultural Company

Year Unsatisfactory

The combination of drought and
low-gear prices is responsible for the
comparatively poor showing made by
the Maui Agricultural Company last
year. At the annual meeting Of the
company held at the offices Of Alex
ander & Baldwin at 1880 O'Clock this
morning. Manager Harry A. Baldwin
explained this situation in some de-
tail in his report. The total receipts
for the year from sugar and other
sources amounted to $1,509, ,565.11, but
the net profit amounted to but e158, !,

the surplus account $73.5S2.22 The
prospect for the present years output
is better, and unless something hap
pens in the meantime, the 1915 crop
will be exceptionally good.
No change was made IN the board

 II has been our earnest desire to express our thanks for the fayors rendered to us by the people of Cor doya during all these years. and we believe this is good chance to req llze our wishes, We feared that we would be unable to satisfy you with our play as we are are all amateur players and hesitated about perform ing before the public, We win be very glad If you will accept our desire to please you and show our appreciation Of past faVors, and overlook the elum- siness of our play.
 The program is not as yet eomplet. ed but we can make public part of 1t beforehand. as follows:
