Special Arrangements Made. ..
A driveway through the Brewer
warehouse on Pier 10 to the gang
plank OF the Sierra will be roped OF
Monday morning. as well as lower
Fort street, for the automobiles which
will convey the members of the con
gressional party from the liner to the
Moana hotel, according to present
plans.
The harbor commission this morn
ing granted special permission to r.
W. ShingIe, acting as member of
the reception committee for the con-
gressional party, to bring the ma
chimes on the pier, provided like per.
mission is given by the Brewer agen-
cy for the right to pass through its
warehouse.
In the event of these plans failing,
the superintendent Of public works
was empowered to act as re-
quested by the entertainment
committee and the Sierra may be
brought to Pier instead. Mr.. Single
told the harbor commissioners that
the committee had received wire
less from Jack Desha, secretary to
the delegate, and who is in charge
(, of the party on board the steamer,
stating that Desha would take no or
ders from the committee and would
refuse to recognize any arrangements
made by the committee in Honolulu
relative to the hauling of personal
baggage from the wharf to the hotel.
Mr.. Single said that Delegate Ku-
hio will be asked to wireless Desha
not to interfere, with the plans of the
committee.
Ex-Governor Frear appeared before
the harbor commission and called at
tention to errors on Page 3S of the
bulletin issued by the Chamber OF
Commerce for the benefit of the con-
gressional party. This page gave
statistics concerning the ports of Ha-
waii and shipping Of the islands.
These, lar. Frear, said, were incorrect
and the commission agreed to furnish
the correct data.
To Pass Steamer Quickly.
Federal quarantine, immigration and
customs officers have arranged for the
prompt entry of the vessel. DR.. F. E.
Trotter will despatch corps of medi.
cal officers to the ship to insure i'm

Rivalry between two baggage trans
fer companies. one thought to be ia
vored by Jack Desha on board the 81
ezra and the other favored by the
transportation committee, has brought
the general committee in charge of the
congressional entertainment plans into
an embarrassing position.
Chairman Watkins of the Transports
ton committee, with the consent OF
the committee, arranged with the Ho-
nolulu Construction & Draying Com
pany to haul the baggage. Immediately
on arrival of the liner, to the Moana
hotel at reduced rate. Watkins in.
formed Desha of this arrangement by
letter to San Francisco, but Delegate
Kuhio's secretary did not reply until
today. Desha, in effect, told the com.
mittee to keep its hands off. Desha
is supposed TO prefer the City Trans
fer Company.
The general committee decided to
wireless Desha to ascertain what ar
rangements the secretary has made
concerning the baggage before acting
on the matter
The chairmen Of the various sub
committees reported for the last time
before the arrival of the Sierra. "A |
message was received by G. Brewer. & |
