With the election OF three new d.
rectors to the Mid-Pacific Carnival
board at the close of the annual meet.

into history, and a new Carnival is be

the three men chosen, filling the
places OF ]. F. c. Hagens, president:
Bertram Won Damn, and Sherwood NJ.

II is understood that Lee Chu, rep
resenting the city's Chinese. and T.
Onodera, japanese, will probably re-
sign as soon as their successors have
been nominated, though the board has
expressed willingness to have them
serve for another year. AS stated in
the Star-Bulletin. yesterday, President
Hagens strongly urged board of di-
rectors largely made up, of men who
had served during the previous year
Ed Towse OF the Promotion Commit

season of jollity out of what is in gen.

More treasury stock will probably
be sold to meet the deficit of $4,000
which the 1916 Carnival produced
rather than making any assessment on
stockholders. The president and 9TH

elected at meeting to be called in the
near future.

was placed on the advice that Gen

WITNESSES SHOW
POOR MEMORIES
in CHEFA CASE
Prosecution Completes Case
Against Officer Gray; Two
More Hearings

At the hearing of Police Officer
Gray of Wahiawa before the Civil Ser
vice Commissioners last night the pro.
secution closed its case and at the
close of the session the defense an
nounced that they would require two
more sessions before they were ready
for final submission of their clients
side of the case. An adjournment to
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock was
then taken. 49,.
Uncertainty as to days and dates
marked the testimony of witnesses for
both sides in last nights hearing.
Frank VERDE, for the defense, testified
TO working with Gray in attempts TO
secure evidence against operators and
runners of chefa banks. He was I'M
able to definitely fix dates on num-
Der of points and seemed uncertain on
still other points in the testimony
which he offered.
For the prosecution Lau Kun Tong
testified to having conducted chefa
bank, first for himself and two asso-
ciates and later for himself alone Wit
ness testified to having paid to Akana,
a tailor whom he said also conducted
a chefa bank, S. week, it being his
understanding that this was paid by
Akana to the officers. He produced a
book showing dates of three such pay
ments to Akana for police protection
but the prosecution failed to connect
Akana with any man higher up"
Lau Kun Tong testified to having
been approached by Gray who, he
alleged, said: "Akana has not paid
me any money you gave him and you
had better pay me. | will warn you
IL any officers come around and give
you time to close up" Witness stated
he then paid Gray S. and week later
another IS, but his book failed to show
any entry Of such payments or of eth
er of them. He said he had had anoth-
er book which was destroyed. Like
VERDE, for the defense, this witness
for the prosecution was uncertain as
to dates except where he had written
memoranda to refresh his memory.
Lau Kun Tong weakened the case
of the prosecution by contradicting
statements which he had made in an
affidavit March %, wherein he alleged
he paid Gray for protection for sever
al months. '.-.
Other witnesses testified to prove
that Gray was diligent in seeking to
secure evidence against chefa opera
tors and had stated that he could not
and would not permit the games to
run and that they must be stopped.

new CARNIVAL BOARD NAMED AND
PLANS FOR next YEAR DISCUSSED

pies of special interest to tourists.
A briefer period and greater use OF
local color for the Carnival seem to
me of prime Importance"
IL was also stated by the secretary
that the board had regretfuIly with
drawn the military tournament from
the program owing to the fact that no
grounds spacious enough for such an
event could be secured. The failure
OF the merchants to adopt a uniform
scheme of decorations was also given
as a cause of disappointment to the
Carnival board. The prediction was
made that the coming Carnival will

TO
DEFRAUD MADE
BASIS OF SUIT

With the writ of prohibition filed
from the supre-ne court in answer to
the petition of " Sakan and X. Hir.
alta, defendants. in the case brought
by X. Noca and other japanese
against them, there arises possibility
for q case of r ,ch interest.
Sakan and Hirata are merchants
according to the bill of complaint
which has been filed against them
and brothers-in-law, who came here
from Japan In April, 1915.
The bill alleges that they formed a
conspiracy to defraud merchants of
japan, Hirata establishing a store for
wholesale business on Queen street,
and Sakan going to japan to purchase
goods on credit
II is alleged that Sakan was insol-
vent that he had no property here
nor In Japan on which to levy attach
ment, and that his brother-in-law, as
a party to the alleged fraud, is reap
ing the benefits
In answer to petition of Noda and
his colleagues, Judge Ashford issued
an order to the defendants to show
cause why they should not be enJoin-
ed from acting as trustees for the
merchants they had purchased from
in Japan.
To this order the defendants de-
INJURED on the ground that the case
could not be handled from the equity
side. After some argument was held
in the matter, Judge Ashford decided
against the demurrer, and in favor of
equitable jurisdiction, sallowing an in
terlocutory appeal 10 the supreme
court, however, which the defendants
have taken but not effected.
Judge Ashford also issued an order
for Hirata to show cause why he was
not in contempt Of court for having
disobeyed the restraining order al
ready issued. 1t was this part of the
case which was to be heard yesterday
morning when the writ of prohibition
was asked for. II the case can be
proven matter of law the defendants
have right to trial by fury. while an
equity case Is tried by the judge alone.
1t is on this ground that the defend
ants are objecting A hearing will be
held by the supreme court next Mon
day.
