Crowd SpIrItedIy Bidding to
Help Victims Family

Men Of every color and nationality
and every stratum o. the ,Hy'' lie
bid strenuOusly against each 0t:I"r
this morning for possession "t a con-
pie of battered kitchen tables. a bed,
a tattered carpet and few scratched
chairs and principally, 4 couple OF
babys highchairs Then when they
had bought them. they paid their
money and gave back their purchases
to be sold again
1t was the auction OF the furniture
in the home OF Frank e. Pierard. one
OF the men who went down in the F.4.
1t was being sold to provide a stake
for the widow and her twin babies.
On the few bits OF furniture that could
Lot have brought $40 at an ordinary
sale $307 was raised.
Under the pleas, arguments and re-
Dukes OF O. A. Steven, at whose place
the auction was held. the price of an
ordinary chair was whipped up from
s. to $12 and $13 or $14. Then it was
turned back by the purchaser, who
turned around and bid it up again.
There were tears in the eyes Of the
more emotional as they bid on the
two baby chairs. The latter brought
s22.
A conspicuous fact was that a large
majority of those that crowded Ste
ven's place were poor men. A large
number of them were Orientals. One
of the spirited bidders was a Korean
woman.
Some who were too modest or too
busy to come to the sale sent money
to be applied on some Of the furniture.
From one out-of-town doctor came

Steven told of two Iwilei women
who had come to him yesterday. They
didn't dare to come to the sale, they
said, but they wanted to buy some
thing
Bid in for u.s." they said, and go
the limit"
Steven bought something for them
for $40, then offered it for sale again.
The absence of wealthy people drew
some sharp and scornful statements
from Steven. He quoted the Bible
and called them Pharisees.
It's from men like the ones we had,
that haven't anything. that we always
get the most" he said: They really
feel for the sufferers"

WORK OF NAVY, RELIEF

aWhat is the Navy Relief?n

what Is the Navy Relief"
This question has been asked many
times in the last few days and think
perhaps few words Of explanation
will not be amiss. 49,
The Navy Relief Society is made up
of as many people belonging to the
navy as may wish to join at an an
nuai subscription of 81. There are
branches at each navy yard and on
each ship. The money collected is
sent to the mother society in Wash
ington; from there it is distributed
to those needing it. Every case is
kept on record and not only the inn
I mediate relief but the constant vel
fare Of those whose husbands and
fathers have gone down to the sea
never to return is looked after. The
sick are cared for, the distressed are
relieved, the children are educated and
help given as long as it is needed or
the. society has funds. The records
are secret, its benefactions are never
advertised. Those who give to it give

Those who give IN Honolulu will not
only relieve the necessities of those

who wait on the mainland for news of
those who viii never come back.
Every man on the F4 who had a
dependent relative viii have that rel

relief. There is no "pauperizing" and
this is not considered charity. The
families of officers and men are look
ed after alike; it Is help from those

a tribute to those whose lives have
been given that we may live in safety.
81 am at liberty to ask the navy re-
lief to devote all money sent from Ho-
nolulu at this time entirely to the
families of the F24. That is frequent
" done, but 1t viii depend largely on
the amount that is received and the

CITY bADSN0T
Behind MEASURE

at is a mistake to think that the
present city administration is behind
the proposed automobile measure to
be introduced in the legislature de-
clared Supervisor Horner this morn
ing.
Il discovered in the Advertiser this
morning that we are credited with
Preparing this measure. AS a matter
of fact we have had nothing to do
with it; it was gotten up by the auto
mobile association.
And anyway, l feel We should not
be blamed for what others are doing.
1t is said We are throwing open the
doors for drunken drivers and joy
fiends, while as a matter of fact we

there is any blame or credit for this

ton of the tragedy.
In the opinion OF the relatives, Mr..
Robinson, suffering severely, left his
room shortly after o'clock this
morning. He had arrayed himself in
a light gray business suit and dOnned
a felt hat of similar shade. He wrote
a brief note and then evidently left
the house.
The body was round by the son,
lying partly on it's right side. The
revolver was still clasped. When eX-
amined by Deputy Sheriff Asch, the re-
volver contained three loaded and one
discharged shell. Death is believed
to have been virtually instantaneous.
Deputy Sheriff Asch was called. He
examined the boGy and impanelled a

Mr.. ROBINSON ATTAINED
EMINENCE IN BUSINESS
LIFE; A GOOD CITIZEN

Mark P. Robinson was among the
citizens of part-Hawaiian blood who
attained eminence in business life. He
was born in Honolulu in 1852, making
him about GO years of age at death.
His father was an Englishman and
his mother was the daughter of Hawai-
ian and American parents. A sketch
of his career printed in a Hawaiian
edition of a San Francisco CONNER
cial paper % years ago contained the
following record of his parentage:
The circumstances attending the
arrival of the elder Mr. Robinson in
these islands reads like one of Capt.
Marryatt's novels. He left England
as one of the crew of two whalers,
the Pearl and the Hermes, bound for
the whaling grounds of the South
Seas. While Noff Cape Horn they
passed and spoke an American ship,
on which were the first missionaries
ever sent to the Hawaiian Islands.
both vessels were cast
ashore during a storm on coral reefs,
which to this day are known as Pearl
and Hermes from this incident, and
are so designated upon the charts.
These reefs lie about thousand miles
west of the Hawaiian group. From
the wrecks of the two vessels the sail
ors constructed a schooner of some
20 tons burden, which they appropri-
ately christened the Deliverance. On
her they set sail and. after enduring
terrible privations of hunger and
thirst, they reached Honolulu, where
Mr.. Robinson settled down for the re-
mainder of his life, never again leav-
ing the islands. He landed in 1922
and lived until 1876, or "a years, dur
ing which time he married a Hawaiian
lady of noble blood and by industry
and enterprise accumulated a large
fortune On his death he left hand
some estate to Mark and another son.

Having received the best education
in the kingdom of Hawaii,
Mark Robinson spent his entire life
on these islands, with the exception
of occasional trips abroad. His name
is preserved in the corporation OF
Allen & Robinson, Ltd. but he sold
his interest in the former partnership
with the late S. G. Allen in the year
1882. Other business enterprises in
which he was engaged were banana
raising and construction work. He
owned large banana plantations in

Thin Folks Who Would

SIMPLE DIRECTIONS EASY To
FOLLOW.


Thin men and women-that big.
hearty, filling dinner you ate last
night What became OF all the fat
producing nourishment it contained?
You haven't gained in weight one
ounce That food passed from your
body like unburned coal through an
open CRATE. The material was there,
and the plain truth is YOU hardly get
enough nourishment from your meals
to pay for the cost of cooking. This Is
true OF thin folks the world over. Your
nutritive organs, your functions OF as
similation are sadly out of gear and
need reconstruction.
If every way you've tried to put on
weight has failed try these simple d.
rections. Cut out everything but the
every one of those a single Sargol tab
let In two weeks note your weight
Sargoi does not Of itself make fat but
mixing with your food its purpose is to
help the digestive organs turn the fats.

eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing
nourishment for the tissues and blood

form which the blood can readily ac-
cept. A great deal of this nourishment
