OF MAYORLANE
Arrangements for Grand Open
Air Ball Being Forwarded
Regardless of Weather

Despite lowering clouds and Kona
storms Mayer Lane Is going ahead
enthusiastically with his plans for the
grand open air ball which is to be
held on New Years Eve in the street
between the Alexander Young hotel
and Bishop park.
1T is not likely that the rain will
continue until the first of the year"
said the mayor in fine humor this
morning, and If il does there will be
plenty OF time to worry about it
then"
Arrangements have been complet-
ed for the Hawaiian tableau which is
to begin shortly before midnight and
last for little while after II O'Clock,
thus uniting the old and the new year.
The entire tableau, which will take
perhaps 20 minutes. is being planned
by Mrs. Rosalie Blaisdell and Mrs.
Manuel Refs
mo special places will be reserE-
ed for the tableau," says the mayor.
People will have to take their
chances at getting to vantage points
from which to see it.
Peter Kalani's Hawaiian band will
furnish music for the dancers
throughout the evening, the leader
having chosen an especially good pro-
gram for the eventn. No special in
vitations have been prepared by the
mayor as he desires to make the
dance just as democratic and infor-
NAL as possible.

HOPES
IOGET FEDERAL
AID ON SCHOOLS

I'VE have strong hopes of getting
action to secure aid for Hawaii I'm.
der the terms of the Hoke Smith yoca-
tional training bill" said Secretary
r. c. Brown of the Chamber of Com
merce this morning.
This bill was introduced in the last
session of Congress but got little at
tention. This time it should make
more progress. 1t provides federal
funds for vocational training in the
States, beginning with an allotment Of
100000 and increasing gradually I'm.
til by 1924 the fund will reach $3,000,-
900. The fund is apportioned on the
basis of the proportion of rural popu
lation in each state to the total rural
population in the United States. As
the bill stands. the territories and pos
sessions will not secure any of the
funds, but the chamber viii work to
secure an amendment so that the ter.
ritories may participate in the bene.
fits of the vocational training to be
developed

in recently. One rumor was to the
effect that the American Sugar Rein
ing Company wanted the property.
Whatever may have stimulated the
buying, control of the stock rests
and has rested for many yeers-with
Edward Pollitz & Co., and Henry st.
Goar is authority for the statement
that he has not sold share and viii
not at anything like present market
levels.
Activity in the stock was also ac-
counted for by the report that the
Keith estate had 10000 shares, but st.
Goar asserts positively that the estate
has not share
The buying might very reasonably
be accounted for" says the Chronicle,
by the showing OF the property. The
company made the largest net proft
per ton in 1915 of any plantation in
the islands and will close Tie yea
with sufficient cash on hand to pay
dividends during 1916 at the rate of
80 cents a month, provided there is no
net revenue next year. At "a the stock
yields Is per cent, which is excuse
enough for buying
1t was reported recently on good
authority that Honolulu Plantation
Company would go on a Accent month
ly basis next year. There has been
some discussion Of this company cut
ting melon, but it is believed that
the plan has been abandoned in favor
OF an increase in the regular monthly
rate. Honolulu Plantation will close
the year with a cash surplus of more
than 100000, and it follows that some
additional disbursements are in line.

THE GRAND.

Tomorrow night at the Grand Mary
Pickford, the most popular motion
picture star in the world, returns to
the screen on the Famous Players
Paramount program, in four-part
modern and original film version of
the century-old classic, cinderella. y
In the exquisitely fanciful fairy
tale arranged from the beautifully
symbolic story, Mary Pickford por-
trays the pathetic but bewitching lit
tie cinder-girl, the heroine of the
world-renowned and universally loved
tale of the abused stepsister who was
at last rewarded for her virtue and
patience by splendid triumph over
the naughty sisters and unkind step
mother, and crowned princess and
sovereign of her true loves heart.
This new and modern version of
"Cinderella" is delightful blend Of
comedy and pathos, and provides a
artistic treat for peo-
pie of all ages. n the imposing and
elaborate production, illusion and
reality are skillfully mingled, and the
famous little heroine of the children
of all thine lives and breathes upon
the screen, immortal there as in their
hearts, with a tender charm that is
all Mary Pickford's own.

WILL MAKE FIGHT
FOR PRIMARY ACT
BRUNDIDCf in EARNEST
WILL SEEK NO OFFICE, BUT
WILL CAMPAIGN FOR PURE
ELECTION MEASURE.
(By A. w. Parke.)

by A. w. Parke.)
Little Rock, May 12.-"I have nc
intention of asking the people of my
state for office again, but just so long
as l live, they will ever find me at
the front fighting against grafters,
when | see that graft is being prac-
ticed. y Thus spoke Stephen Brun-
didge, Jr., when asked what steps he
would take on the submission of the
primary election bill to the people.
Judge Brundidge continued to state
that he was by no means through
with the bill, merely because it was
defeated, through underhanded polit-
zeal methods in the last legislature.
He asserted that he would circulate
petitions and permit the people to
vote upon the matter. The petitions
will be ready for circulation after a
meeting of the committee which pre-
pared the bill, called for the purpose
of making several minor changes
The committee will not circulate the
petitions, Judge Brundidge doing that
as an individual. One change to be
made is in the time specified for the
holding of primaries, and the others
are problematical, the committee not
deeming best to discuss them at this
time. The section regulating the time
for the holding of county conventions
will remain the same.
The bill, if initiated, will stand an
excellent chance for adoption, as the
people of all sections of Arkansas are
generally in favor of change which
will insure them the returns in cleo
tions will be in accordance with the
votes cast. The consolidation of cleo
tons will bring this matter under
federal control, for It will be settled,
not in the spring primary, but in the
fall election, when congressman are
elected. While fraud might be at
tempted at a state election, none can
be expected where Uncle Sam has
jurisdiction, for he is too particular
about the integrity of the count on
such occasions.
Judge Brundidge expects to take
the STUN pin behalf of his bill, and if
it is opposed, openly o runder cover,
by politicians who conspired, accord
ing to evidence given in the Sawyer
racing bill trial, to bring about it's
defeat, Judge Brundidge has some in
teresting things to say relative to
proceedings of the committee which
framed the bill, and utterances made
there by one OF those alleged to have
worked for the defeat of the bill in
the legislature.

Little Rock, May 12.-Mavor Chas.
E. Taylor, now serving his third term
as mayor Of Little Rock, is proba-
BILE candidate for governor. He has
advised some of his more intimate
friends that he will probably an
nounce his candidacy soon, but has
authorized no public announcement of
his intentions. If he should enter the
race it would greatly complicate the
situation. Secretary of State Hodges
