CAR PLAN
BEATEN IN
ALL WARDS

1,735 votes against II, a majority
Of two In favor. Tho Fifteenth.
the mayors own ward, polled 1877
votes for the plan. Just the same
number as were cast In the Seven
teenth. and 1.755 votes against.
The First. Second and Fourth
wards were the sections where the
purchase plan was killed. These
three wards alone piled up a ma.
iority OF 1881 votes against the
purchase. that being pretty nearly
the whole majority against the plan
In the city.
Home owners and taxpayers
turned out to defeat the street rail-
way purchase plan at the election
Tuesday. The result was a major
ity OF nearly 1000 against the plan.
which TO become effective would
have had to poll 60 per cent Of the
vote.
The vote on the street railway
proposition was very heavy In pro-
portion to similar votes In the past
With the returns from one precinct.
the first of the Seventeenth ward
mislaid, and not available. the total
vote was 6s.174. This Is almost
5000 more votes than were cast for
mayor last year. the total then be-
Ing $3.50. On the Thompson-H ally
ordinance In January. 1912. there
were but 53.04l votes cast.
The vote Tuesday. however. heavy
as II seems In comparison to recent
totals. was not particularly heavy
in comparison to the registration.
Prior tn the Monday registration
there were on the registration hooks
OF the city 1859 names. The
Monday registration was reported
everywhere TO be the heaviest In
the history OF the city. II has been
estimated that 10000 new names
were added TO the lists.
There II . total registration there
fore, Of somewhere near 10000. and
the vote cast was but little more
than 50 per cent Of the registra.
ton.
The defeat Of the. purchase plan
may be attributed almost entirely
to the fact that the price to be paid
for the property Was not part OF
the ballot. rs IL shown by the fact
that returns from the home owning
districts and the districts where the
business and professional men and
women 1--we were. as a general rule,
strongly against the purchase.
II was the business feature that
did the trick. The polling booths
Tuesday were full OF stories OF men
who had not voted since the last
presidential election. or since the
presidential election before the last
who turned out to register and vote
this time. because they feared the
street railway purchase. II INDUCED
In, would mean . heavier burden
Of taxes for the city and . tax rate
still higher than the present
Women voters aid not make any
very great stir. There were . great

but q rough estimate Of the number
Of women voting on the street car
proposition places the number at not
more than $500.

PUBLIC
SCHOOL WILL
PLANT Trees
Arbor Day, Next Friday, to Be
Generally Observed on
All Islands

Although no set programs have yet
been announced, every public school
In Honolulu, and large number Of
those In the outlying districts and on
the other islands. win observe Arbor
Day on Friday or tbs week, Novem-
Der 10.
Henry W. Kinney, superintendent OF
public instruction. said today that the
governors request for an observance
of the day win be heartily complied
with by both teachers and pupils. and
already plans are being made TO Sc
cure large number OF trees from the
bureau OF forestry for planting.
The greatest amount Of schoolyard
planting probably will be done at the
waikiki and Manoa schools, where
new buildings recently have been
erected. At the present time the
lawns Of these schools are nearly void
Of vegetation, and 1T Is expected that
the demand on the forestry bureau
from these two institutions alone will
be heavy.
Many Of the schools, whose yards
are we'll supplied with trees and
shrubs, viii do but little planting. The
students, however, will devote their
time to decorating places in the i'm
mediate vicinity which are in need Of
trees.
In addition to the planting. there
win be appropriate Arbor Day exer.
cises in the schools. There will prob
ably be literary programs. including
an explanation by the teachers OF the
meaning of Arbor Day and its purpose.
