BLAME CUNARD COMPANY
ARE NOT MAKING SUFFICIENT
EFFORT TO RECOVER THE
FLOATING DEAD.
To Uso British 6hips Would Be to
Invite Submarine Attacks, Others
Can Not Be Secured.

Queenstown.-The identification Of
10 OF the 16 dead picked up during
the night by the Dutch tug Poolzee
chartered by the Cunard Company, 20
miles west of the spot where the Lust
tania was sunk. was the only incident
tending to relieve the depressing
routine.
Among the 16 dead brought in by
the tug only two were the bodies of
Americans-Mrs. Stewart Mason of
Boston and Mrs. Della Condor, wife
OF Terence Condor Of New York The
American Consul claimed both and
will send them to the United States
Then bodies from Baltimore aud two
from Castletownsend were expected to
arrive at Queenstown In the after
noon on the tug Flying Fox, bnt an
obdurate coroner insisted on a for
NAL inquest before releasing them and
it was doubtful when the bodies would
reach here. At the delay, Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt's English secre-
tary, Webb Wade, entered a vigorous
protest, saying he would motor to
Baltimore, II he could expedite mat
tors; yet he hesitated to take the
trip, fearing to pass the bodies,
which might be started for Queens
town at any moment.
There is considerable Indignation
among some o fthe survivors, who
say that full measures to recover the
floating dead have not been adopted
but the Cunard officials insist that it
is almost impossible to charter tugs
or motor craft as all of them have
been commandeered by the British
admiralty.
There are plenty Of British war
craft available for the search but it
is considered that it would be inviting
submarine attacks to cruise around
the scene of the disaster.
The Poolzee went as far south as
Cape Clear and returned with quanti-
ties of the Lusitania's light deck
furniture. A misty rain was falling
when the tug landed the dead. A
small crowd stood uncovered as the
bodies were carried into the Cunard
Offices.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.

Months of negotiation over the proposed rail
road to serve the Kapaat homesteaders and
other interests on Kauai have been brought tc
a successful conclusion by the governor s state
ment of policy under which the Lihue Plan,
tation Company can proceed to build the road
the Hawaiian Canneries Company to build a
pineapple factory and the homesteaders to de,
velop and plant their lands.
The process of working out this policy may
have seemed tedious at times but it was difficult
to reach an agreement which would be satisfac-
tory to the plantation and factory interests
guaranteeing them business proposition on
which to work-and would at the same time
afford every safeguard to the homesteaders and
encourage their home-building activities. Tn
der the agreement as finally reached, it appears
that the homesteader will have the very ma
terial benefit of a situation which means COM
petition between two railroads for the hauling
Of his products -er will mean this competition
if both the Lihue plantation and the Makee
Sugar Company take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to extend their rail transportation. Fin
ally, provision is made for the future for the
development of the port of Nawiliwili and for
a rail-and-water haul to Honolulu.
The Kappa demonstrating situation is often
referred TO as an experiment. Under Governor
Pinkham's direction, every possible facility is
being afforded for the success of that expert
ment. tt

JAPANESE PAPER.

LANTERN PARADE
Will Give Wrong Impression of
Honolulu to Visitors, Says
Editor of Hochi

& A movement to discourage Japanese
of Honolulu from participating in the
lantern parade in the Mid-Pacific
Carnival has been begun by the Ha-
wall Hochi, local Japanese newspa-
per.
This information was given out to-
day by M. Negoro, editor of the Hochi,
who intimated that the question will
be brought up for discussion at a mass
meeting of Japanese in the Asahi
theater at z o'clock Sunday night He
said that the movement against the
lantern parade is being carried on
only by his paper. -,
Mr.. Negoro said that, in the papers
topinion, a lantern parade composed of
Japanese and viewed by mainlanders
unused to local conditions, would only
serve to create further antiJapanese
feeling. As he expressed it, to see a
parade of 1000 Japanese at night, car
rying lanterns and shouting, would
give the tourist the idea that 5000 Jap
anese were taking part, and cause him

the streets with Warrenite, as had
been previously announced. !.
Chairman Quinn of the road com
mittee was absent and Supervisor Hol-
linger presided. Occasional watts of
music from the band playing few
hundred yards away brought many
nervous squirms from both the super
visors and the Mandates, all hurry
ing in an effort to get to the concert
before it concluded.
Residents spoke strongly in favor OF
asphalt macadam. declaring that it was
the only kind of desirable material
upon which all contractors can bid.
Chairman Hollinger suggested that the
roads be paved at Is to "a foot width
with Warrenite, instead of paving full
width with cheaper material, but this
suggestion failed to appeal favorably
to the Mandates.
The supervisors agreed that no part
of the cost Of making the improve
ments should be. met by the city be
cause of the precedent which would
be established. The. Manoa residents
reminded the supervisors that the cost
of improvement must not exceed
cents a square foot in the improve
ment district and for that reason, they
said, asphalt macadam was favored.
The committee will meet again at
5 p. m. today to prepare a report for
submission to the board of supervisors
In regular session tonight.
