Investigation Of charges Of corruption
in the last senatorial campaign in
PENNSYLVANIA, Illinois and other
states was blocked today so far as
the Sixty-third Congress is concerned
when the Senate committee which
provides for the expense of such In

Williams said the senatorial terms to
which the Investigation would re-
late do not begin until next Congress
and it was felt that an inquiry by
the present Congress would be pre-

house. On account of a heavy demand
for tickets it was found necessary to
change the place from Bishop hall.
The cadets are doing all they can in
order to make the event a success.
The proceeds Of this concert will be
turned over to the athletic association
of the school.
The junior class of the manual
school is planning to give a farewell
dance in honor of their older broth
ers on May % in Bishop hall. This
custom has been in existence for the
past five years and an event to which
the seniors always look forward. 1t
is strictly school event.
1t falls upon the class of 1912 of
the manual department to hold its
reunion in 1915 and the class has set
May 20 for their gathering, after be-
ing out of school three years. The
reunion will take place in Bishop hall.
At the present time there are only
eight out of the eighteen in the 1912
class now in Honolulu.
On Friday, June 4. the preparatory
department will hold its graduating
exercises on the chapel lawn and
on Monday evening. June Z, the com.
mencement exercises will take place
in the Bishop memorial chapel.

FOR THE FUTURE

part in this play resulted in a very
poor financial showing, the deficit
amounting to the sum Of $345.O7.
That the expenses were I'M
usual goes without saying and | feel
that the Carnival directors should
carefully consider the presentation of
similar outdoor plays and omit same
unless they are able to place some
one other than the director-general in
special charge of the production and
who will realize the responsibility OF
making the play pay for itself and
not lean on the Carnival Company's
resources to make up deficit.
Water Carnival.
The water carnival shows quite a
large deficit in the sum of $1593.32.
This is to be accounted for largely
by the charges for seats having been
reduced more than one-half as
against last year. The burden of eX-
pense is unusually large because it
has been found necessary to bring
people from the coast to properly
present an up-to-date fireworks show.
| would recommend that a closer cal.
culation be made regarding the seat
ing capacity on the local waterfront
and If this feature is to be repeated
from time to time that the admissions
or prices for seats be adjusted so as
to cover the expense.
Program.
Nil. Jas. D. Dougherty, your d.
rect-general. has presented in his re-
port a general comment regarding the
weeks program and has covered the
ground so thoroughly that there is
but little left for me to add. How
ever, | think that | voice the senti-
ments OF the majority of our direct
ors in saying that the program was a
little too long and extended over too
great a period of time. feel that
special care should be taken not to
give the public more than they can
comfortably enjoy.
Financial.
Referring to the financial report,
wish to say that the plan Of under
writing and financing the Carnival
project by the issuance of shares OF
stock in the ATid-Pacific Carnival,
Ltd, has proved a success and has
worked out very practically in hand
ling the program Of the past two
years, which have shown an unusual
growth as the outcome of the floral
parade held for several years past
The organization is now on a well
founded basis and prepared to plan
and handle just such form of enter
tainment as may be deemed advisable
each year. With the facts and fig

its many new and amusing sidewalk
features that add to rather, than de.
tract from the success OF an up,to,
date Carnival city.
Army Participation.
There is one problem which is
staring the Carnival directors in the
face which calls for the earnest con,
sideratiCn Of the incoming board of
directors Perhaps no more grateful
expression should be rendered to the
supporters of the Carnival than to
the commanding general and officers
Of the Hawaiian department, through
whose instrumentality Honolulu was
enabled to act as the host to eight
thousand or more Of Americas loyal
defenders. The handling of the civil
liam masses that gather within the
fold Of the Carnival city during the
week of our celebration is a small
matter in comparison to this particu-
lar duty which falls upon the Car
nival directorate; for while the Mid
Pacific Carnival, Ltd is ever ready
and equipped to cope with big things,
it is hardly fair that this corporation
should be locked to to take care of
the transportation, accommodations
and general welfare that is the due
of the cityS guests at this time.
1t is only proper that the stockhOld-
ers of this corporation, and in fact the
entire community, should know that
if it we're not for the liberality of
your local steam railway and street
hn Grir Of
eight thousand men to Honolulu
would be out of the question. Incl
dentally, 5000 men out of Honolulu
during Carnival week would be a sad
state Of affairs, not only to the city
as a whole but to every individual
resident and merchant. If a suggeS-
ton would not be considered inoppor-
tune, would it not be possible for an
association to be formed, say tenn
pOrary one for the present, which
might be known as the Service AssO-
citation, whose duty it would be dur
ing the Carnival season to handle the
service in all its branches; inviting
them in large numbers to come to
Honolulu, arranging camp sites, trans
pCrtatiOn and also the various meth
DDS of their entertainment while they
are the guests of the city? If proper
~ approached | dare say there would
be no objection upon the part of the
merchants in this community in lend
ing assistance in the nature of where
withal to finance such a magnificent
and beneficial movement
"NUCh worthy praise should be eX-
tended to Mr. Awaki, chairman Of the
Japanese lantern parade, who with
his excellent committee, produced I'M

Directors Report.
Director General Dougherty's re.
port says in part:
Much has been said within the
past few weeks, now that the Car
nival Spirit has been laid to rest
awaiting such time as the cOmmuni-
ty shall again demand his presence,
and much will be said in the weeks
to come as to what we should or
should not do in 1916. Possibly one
of the greatest cries that | have
heard personally has resulted from
the elimination of the floral parade
from our last celebration. 1t has new
er been brought more firmly or con-
vincingly to the storekeepers and mer-
chants of Honolulu that floral parades
mean business. In the present in
stance-although we are loath to ad.
NIT it or comment on tive missed
the many personal and individual
shoppers who have always, openly
and freely, out of their own pockets
purchased the decorative materials
for the entry of their automobiles,
floats and effects in the floral page
ant To be sure, this feature has
been a very costly one to the direc-
tors-general of previous carnivals,
but | am willing to state that if the
floral parade were to be added to the
Carnival program as a special tea'
ture, say each four or five years, | am
quite sure that the effect would be
Dazzling as we'll as particularly spec
tacular; especially in view of the fact
that each four or five years there
would be introduced an element
which in previous years had parti-
cipated in floral parade merely as
spectators.
Decoration.
Probably che of the greatest prob
lens, as we'll as one of cur most re-
cent achievements, has been the unit
pan I'll uSNOt dIIOll CuIllllSN IAI4N-
carried through by the chairman OF
my decorations committee. Mr.. Emil
A. Berndt. While it may appear
amiss for ME to pick out at this time
any particular associate of the past
few months worthy Of special men,
ton it would also be ungrateful Oh
my part were | to overlook the mag
nifcent results Of committees work
whose efforts were hampered at every
turn and corner of their road
might say at every street.
This year has brought home to
us more fOrcibly the fact that Homo
lulu is a concession town. BY con
cession | do not mean the ordinary
street vender packing basket; but
it has been proven that any good,
legitimate, Cpen-air attraction made
to amuse a care-free public will pay
big and to this end the Carnival d.
rectorate of 1916 should look for hlg
revenue. With the many available
sites in the downtown section Of our
city we should he able to mass most
attractive street fair effect; spacing

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

Experience has shown that the
work in the boys and girls clubs can
be carried on with even greater sue

In the canning work, 93S public

primarily for the club members, but
parents were always invited and as

ages of this club work, indeed, is the
fact that it serves to stimulate the

Here's New Vigor for
0VerWOrEed StOmachS

W. l.. Gokay, the popular druggist,
has been in the drug business long
enough to have his own opinion Of
the best way Of selling medicines.
He says the plan adopted by Mona,
the great dyspepsia remedy, is the
fairest he has ever heard OF. He
doesn't believe that medicine ought
to be paid for Unless it does the user
some good. And Mi-o-na is sold UNI
der a positive guarantee to relieve dy-
spepsia or to refund the money. You
simply leave so cents on deposit with
him and If, after you have used the
box of Mona you decide that it has
done you no good, all you have to do
is to tell him so and he will refund
your money.
Hundreds of people have been re-
lieyed of stomach agonies by using
this remarkable remedy 1t is not
simply food digester; it is medi-
cine that puts all of the digestive or
gans into normal condition and gives
ruddy, glowing, vigorous health. A
change for the better will be seen af-
ter the first few doses of Mona, and
it's continued use will soon give the
power to eat anything at any time
and not suffer distress afterward.
Use Mona and see how much more
there is in life.
