MAYOR TO GIVE
ANNUAL BALL ON
new YEAR'sE EVE
Says 1t Will Not Conflict With
Governoc,S Ball Set for
Same Date

There will be two public balls In
Honolulu on New Years eye-the
great ball at the National Guard ar.
mory given by Governor Pinkham, and
Mayor Ferns annual outdoor ball.
A published statement this morn
ing that Mayor Fern had given up his
New Years dance-his farewell dance
by the way-brought instant and Wig
orous denial from the mayors office.
Secretary Miles definitely announced
that the ball will be held.
"The mayors outdoor dance Is an
annual affair and it viii be given this
year." announced Miles. 1T was es.
tablished several years ago by the Mer-
chants Association and the mayor
was asked to take charge Of 1t. Thus
it became the annual municipal out
door dance and has attracted thou
sands of people. We do not believe
it will conflict in any way with the
governors ball. There will be many
hundreds of people who do not go to
the governors ball who will attend
the mayors function.
Make it definite that the mayors
ball will be given on Bishop street
on New Years eve, beginning at 3
o'clock, and that Mayor Fern viii lead
the grand march"
Meanwhile preparations are going on
for the governors ball in the armory.
This is to be one OF the largest affairs
of its kind ever held in Hawaii, from
all indications. Tie governor is en-
phasizing the fact that everybody Is
welcome and everybody is invited. The
following official notice has been H.
sued:
The governor OF Hawaii begs to an
nounce tnat he desires the presence OF
the people OF Hawaii, that he may
meet them generally, at the reception
and bali to be given by him on New
Years eve. December 81, 1914, at the
National Guard armoryt
Invitations have been sent so far
as lists have been obtainable. Should
any fail Of delivery or omissions oc-
cur he trusts the above invitation will
be accepted

Picking. Sept. 3.-The exact number
OF japanese troops ashore at Lung
Kow. the Chinese port north Of Tsing
Tau cannot be definitely determined
than six thousand men already are on
shore and that $4,000 more are COM
ins.
The officials OF Lung Kow politely
protested against the landing OF Jap
anese forces. The japanese accepted
the protest with equal politeness and
then proceeded to disregard it. There
was no hostile incident during the
landing.
The foreign office has formally pro-
tested to the Japanese and British leg
atoms here against the violation Of
China neutrality, involved in the land
ing at Lung Kow which being 100
miles from Tsin Tau Is approximately
20 miles beyond the confines of the
German leased territory. Knowing
that it's protest would be useless, the
foreign office requested the British
and Japanese authorities to confine
their operations to the zone extending
on the north from Lung KOw to Lao
Chow and on the south to the pre-
viously prescribed fighting ground.
Neither legation accepted these limi-
tations
The British regiments which are ex-
rected to take part In the investment of
Using Tau. are still at Tien Tsin.
The foreign office later in the day
notified the foreign diplomats here that
Germany, Japan and Great Britain were
transgressing Chinese neutrality In
Shun Tung province. and at the same
time expressed regret that China was
unable to prevent such transgressions.
The note declares that China would
continue to enforce her regulations re-
specting neutrality outside OF the zone
bounded by Lung Kow and Kiao Chow
on the north and the breadth OF the
Kiao Chow neutral sphere on the south.
The note concludes with. these Words
But 1t is still incumbent upon the
belligerent powers to respect the terri
torial and administrative rights OF
China and all persons and properties
within the area defined above
