BOSTON BISHOP
To VISIT HERE
ON WORLD TOUR
Rev. John w. Hamilton Plans to
Renew Acquaintances of
Nine Years Ago

Bishop John w. Hamilton of Bos.
ton, Massachusetts, who, nine years
ago. was commissioned to Honolulu to
organize the Hawaiian mission Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, will, at
an early date, again visit these Is
lands in company with Mrs. Hamil-
ton. The news of his intended visit,
recently received by DR.. John w.
Wadman, comes as welcome sur
prise to his many friends in the ter
ritory, and plans already are being
made for Bishop and Mrs Hamilton's
welcome and entertainment.
The letter received from the bishop
by Doctor Wadman is. in part, as fol-
lows:
'It was very good of your mission
and its recent conference to ren1em-
Der us in the way you did and I as
sure yon we appreciate the memory
of our visit to your Paradise Of the
Pacific. We love the people OF your
islands and if Mrs. Hamilton.s health
continues to improve as it is now do
ing so that she may be able to make
the long journey with me, nothing
would give us greater pleasure than
to revive our associations with the
good people of all nationaliies found
in the islands.
At the close of the recent confer
ence of the Methodist mission, which
was conducted by Bishop Naphtali
Luceock, resolution was adopted to
the effect that Bishop and Mrs. Ham.
ilton be invited to again visit Homo
lulu. Although, in his letter, the
bishop does not say just at what
time he will arrive here, it Is believ-
ed that he will make the trip at once.
Some nine years ago, Bishop Ham
ilton, with his family, visited the is
lands and remained here about six
weeks. He came officially to organ
ize the Hawaiian mission of the
Methodist Episcopal church then: un-
der the superintendency Of DIR. John
w. Wadman, who had been transferr-
ed from Yokohama, Japan, to Homo
lulu. Bishop Hamilton not only or
ganized the mission but purchased for
the missionary society the premises
now occupied by the Korean COM
pound, while Mrs. Hamilton, repre-
senting the Woman's Mission Board,
secured the Melrose hotel property
where the Susanah Wesley home now
is located.
These two plants represented an
expenditure of nearly $685. 900 and to-
day are worth great deal more. At
the recent annual session Of the Me-
thodist Mission, besides inviting Bi-
shop Hamilton, it also was voted to
endeavor to secure him to preside over
the 1915 conference. The bishop has
been appointed to make a tour Of the
world inspecting the missions in In
dia and will leave New York next
September.

WOVEN VOLUNTEER TO AID :
THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES

As the result of special talks given
by Spencer Bowen. manager of the
Associated Charities, before the Wo-
mans Cooperative League of Manoa
and the Woman's Society of Central
Union church, q Honolulu women
have volunteered to cooperate with
the charities through personally inves-
tigating and aiding needy families.
On account of the continually In.
creasing amount of work now falling
to the manager and his assistants in
handling the unemployed and their
families, but little time can be found
for personal investigation by. them,
thereby making it necessary that the
Honolulu women be asked to help. In

REGULATIONS ON
FLY QUARANTINE
Washington Hearing Results
in New Rules Which Take
Effect May ]
BANANAS AND PlNEAPPLES
NOT ON THE TABU LIST
Rigid inspection of Vessels and
Passengers Baggage TO Be
Made on the Coast -:

As g. result of the hearing held in
Washington on March 10 in connec-
ton with the fruit hy quarantine on
Hawaiian products, some important
changes were made in the regulations
at present in force. The new regula-
tions, copies of which reached Or.
e. A. Back, in charge Of the local
fruit fly control work under the fed
eral bureau of entomology, yesterday,
and which go into effect on May /,
give special attention to bananas and
pineapples, but as stated in the Star
Bulletin on Monday last. do not pre-
vent the free shipment of either, of
these two products to the coast.
Under a change in the wording of
the regulation, the list of fruits and
vegetables given, which does include
bananas and pineapples, the products
named may be hosts to the pest, or
they may be dangerous from proxim.
ity of growth or requirements of pack
ing and shipping, may carry infes-
tation." A separate letter to DR.. Back
calls attention to this clause. - 6
Also the scope of new regulations
has been enlarged In that now the
quarantine is extended against the
melon fly as well as against the Medf-
terranean fruit fly; DR.. Back states,
however, that practically this change
will not Increase the restrictions
which have heretofore existed against
shipping Hawaiian products. -
I The special regulations which COW
er banana and pineapple shipments,
require that all such fruit be inspect
ed and tagged accordingly by gov
ernment inspector This inspection
is without cost of any kind to the
shipper. DR.. Back states also that he
will require that banana plantations
are kept clean, and to this end will
not only inspect fruit offered for ship
ment but the source from which it
came as we'll s s

PAHULU OUT
FOR PINKHAM'S
GREAT scheme
In Addition to Rapid Transit
Facilities for the
District

Kapahulu Improvement Club took
fresh action on the matter of rapid
transit communication for the district
at a well-attended meeting held at
the residence of J. /, Arcia last night.
Following up its memorial to Con-
gress, which was presented in both
houses, petitioning for the passage of
the franchise extension measure, the
club now directed the secretary to
write to the Rapid Transit Company
urging the extension of its lines into
the district
Another large matter taken up was
that of reclamation of the wet lands
of Waikiki and Moiliili, under some
scheme like that which Mr.. Pinkham
projected some years before he be-
came governor. 1t was voted that the
governor be requested to promote
measures for the carrying out of a
reclamation plan of that kind. The
idea is that it would pay for itself in
the desirable building lots created,
which nearness to the Waikiki
beaches would make attractive. One
suggestion heard was that the duck
ponds should be dredged out to form
an inland lake big enough for boat
sailing and rowing. With the elimi-
nation of the ponds and the ill-smell-
ing marshes one of the worst mos
quito-breeding nurseries of Honolulu
would be wiped out, it was urged in
the discussion.
President c. ]. Hummel turned over
to the treasurer the clubs share of
the money realized from the sale Of
the Schuman first prize best-decorat-
ed Ford car in the Floral Parade won
by the clubs entry. After paying the
bills connected with the entry, a neat
sum was left
1t was decided to enliven next
months meeting. on Thursday, May
I, with music by local talent. A MEM

took to bring in ten new members at
that meeting. ..z.-

Refusing TO appear before the grand

this morning OF a sharp legal fight
between u. S. District Attorney jeff

lication, which is declared to have
brought to a sudden close the present
Investigation by the grand jury Of the
alleged sale Of intoxicating liquors at
SchofeId Barracks.
A demand was made upon Charles
S. Crane. manager Of the newspaper,
to produce the desired pages, but the
demand was met by flat refusal.
The district attorney brought the en-
tire matter before U. s. District Judge
Clemens, and after argument by coun
sci, the court ruled in favor Of Lowry
and Crane.
In the meantime j. w Thompson,
assistant to Mr.. McCarn, left for

The refusal of Lowry to appear this
morning came as surprise to Mr.. Nc

He based his refusal today on the In
