CHARGE DENIED
Herman Cohen Says Attack on
Him by Gang of Toughs
Brought 1t About.

Herman Cohen, who is charged with
assaulting Miss Pansy Lemon in his
store last Friday, absolutely denies
the charge and requests his friends
and patrons to lay aside all judgment
until the caseis tried in court.
Concerning the matter Mr.. Cohen
says that the whole affair was
Matched out of the arrest Of a young
man who is one of Miss Lemons
friends, and who with several others
assaulted him just as he was leaving
his place of business late Saturday
night. Not caring to have Miss Lem
on in his employ he discharged her
and for that reason, he says, the gang
of toughs tried to beat him up. The
arrest and conviction of the leader of
the gang brought about the charge, he
declares, as the otfense he is now
accused Of vas not charged until af-
terWard.

Vice President Marshall, who is

the recent laying of the cornerstone

Mr.. Marshall's address was closely

those of the crowd who were fortu-
nate enough to be close enough to
hear him. He paid a high tribute to

DIRECTOR GENERAL
PRAISES WORK OF
FINANCE COMMITTEE

The manner in which the Mid-Pa-
cific Carnival finance committee has
gone at the matter of underwriting
the 1914 celebration is certainly worth
. the highest commentator at this
time, for the brains of some of Ho-
nolulu's most representative business
men have been used in putting the
Carnival on a staunch financial basis.
The finance committee stands out as a
sort of protectorate. so to speak, in
order to guard against any apparent
waste of funds, and the members are
working in harmony with the direct
Ior-general in every instance"
James d. Dougherty, director-gen-
eral of the 1914 Mid-Pacific Carnival.
a the foregoing manner this morning

while there might be some regula-
lions in the way, he would take the
matter up with the department at
Washington, and do all in his power
to aid the local committee. He ad-
dressed letter to the secretary Of
the navy and the reply, as above,
came very promptly. 1-s.., = d:
Il think that an excellent spirit is
being shown by the girls of the Hui
Au kai in the manner in which they
have come forward in their effort to
secure a fund with which to bring
woman swimmer to Honolulu to COM
pete in the ladies' races during the
aquatic events of the carnival. The
carnival at this time can not see its
way clear to finance such project but
it is hoped that the members of the
Hui will be successful in their under
taking. They certainly have the sup
port of those in charge of the cele.
bration.
This statement comes from James
ID. Dougherty, director general of the
carnival, and the members Of the Hui
Au Kai, in order. to raise the neces.
sary fund, will be hostesses at a dance
at the 0utrigger Club tomorrow even
ing, beginning at $50 o'clock. AL
ready a large number Of tickets have
been sold among the younger set and
large attendance is expected. The
music for the occasion will be fur.
nished by Dude" Miller and his Hui
Nalu quintet composed of Is must.
clans and singers, which will furnish
an excellent accompaniment by which
to "trip the light fantastic" over the
smooth floor of the clubhouse All
the latest dances will be in vogue,
and several representative Honolulu
women have consented to act as pa.
tronesses in order that the affair may
he well chaperoned. Refreshments will
be served during the evening and an
interesting evening is promised al!
those who attend.

dixie during the winter of 1914, make
his memorable solitary canoe trip in
the spring.
Civilization couldn't hold Funston
for long, and in 1867 he appeared
espousing the cause of oppressed Gu,
ba, and serving through the grades OF
captain, major and lieutenant-colone
in the insurgent army. He served with
distinction for IS months, was wound
ed, and returned to the United States
TO recuperate.
Colonel Of Volunteers.
When the war between the United
States and Spain broke out, Funston
was commissioned colonel of the Goth
Kansas volunteer infantry, consider.
: ably to his own surprise. He went to
the Philippines at the head of his regt
ment and took part in a number of
big battles and innumerable skirmish-
es, making a name not only for per-
sonal bravery. but for sagacity as
military strategist. Among other note
worthy feats was the crossing of the
Rio Grande at Calumpit on small
bamboo raft in the face Of a heavy
fire, and establishing a rope ferry by
which the United States troops were
ensb led to cross and win a decisive
battle For this act he was made a
brgadier-general OF volunteers on May
90, 1899. and awarded the medal Of
honor February II. 1900.
Caught Willy Emilio.
The feat for which General Funston
is probably best known was the cap
ture of Emilio Aguinaldo, which he
planned and accomplished while CAM
paigning against the insurgents in
northern Luzon.
