Anti independence Faction of
FiIipinos Giving Him One
Lively Session

W. Morgan ShuSter, who passed
through Honolulu on a T. X. X. liner
two months ago. and while here said
! there was nothing of political signifi-
canoe in his trip to the Philippines, is
evidently stirring things up there. A
despatch to the Manila Bulletin from
.Iloilo, dated March z, and reprinted in
the Japan Advertiser, shows the part
that Mr. Shuster is playing, unofficial
ly. and the feeling that the independ-
ence issue has created in parts of the
islands:
Mass meetings have been held at
Iloilo and JaTo denonncing the efforts
of the progresistas to attempt a delay
in the granting of independence. Pa
rades and fiery speeches marked the
gatherings.
Hold Lively Rally.
Last night the local progresistas
held a rally in local theater in which
they denied having taken any such &C.
ton as is claimed by the nacionalis-
tas. They attempted to show that Ra-
mon Lopez, one of the chief sponsors
of the petition handed to w. Morgan
Shuster during the latter's visit here
ldSL WIN, uou tAC IhOhEOl-
ial requesting an extension of the in
dependence date at Mr.. Shuster'S sug
gestion. They also declared that Mr..
Lopez secured the signatures not only
of progresistas, but of prominent prop
erty owners, Independents, and pro-
gressive nacionaiistas.
Mr.. Lopez himself took the floor
and asserted his independence of
party affiliations. He declared that
he did not belong to the progresista
party.
Ask Protection.
In the memorial handed to Mr..
Shuster many of the best people Of the
province declared that they did not
want independence for many years IN
less protected by the United States.
The local native papers denounce
the signers of the memorial as unpa
triotic and as traitors to the ambitions
of the Filipino people. =. i
Feeling over the Independence
question is running high in this Sec
ton of the islands. There is good
deal of opposition to the Clarke
amendment beneath the surface"

Camel, No More
Papier -Mache Ship of Desert
Disappears; May Have Gone
After Shrine Elephant

Here is a mystery worthy Of the
skill of all Sherlock Rolmeses in
Honolulu.
Where is the papier-mache camel
belonging to Aloha Temple?
1t disappeared mysteriously a few
hours after it was used in the big
shrine parade last Saturday afternoon
and has evidently followed in the
footsteps of its "side-kick," the shrine
elephant, which also disappeared after
it was used in a carnival parade in
February.
Edgar S. Barry, property clerk of
Aloha, is using all his deductive pow
ers to fathom the mystery, but down
to a late hour today had not succeed
ed in tracing the ship of the desert
further than to the doors of the Fort
street skating rink, where the parade
wound up. Firemen at the fire sta
ton say they saw the camel go into
the rink 1t apparently vanished into
thin air after getting there, however.
Two Portuguese stevedores were the
motive power of the animal. They
say they are in the dark, too.
Fred Harrison returned everything
to me, down to a package of safety
pins, except the camel" says Barry.
at cost Aloha Temple $3.50, having
come here a year ago from Germany,
with the elephant, on January q, 1915.
First the elephant disappeared in the
carnival parade this February, and
now the camel has gone. Guess he
has followed the elephant up into the
foothills, seeking cooler climate"

Engineer Jorgen Jorgensen states
that the road bed could be used for

IN WARARENA
FRENCH WIN IN WEIRD
UNDERGROUND BATTLE.

LONDON, Eng, April 7.-FrencE
and German infantrymen b3ttled fol
hours underground yesterday and the
French won, clearing the Feutons out
of a front more than 500 meters
and driving them back 200 yards
southwest of Douaumont.
The Germans have been sapping
southwest of the fortress of .Douau
mont for some time. The French
learned of this and began a counter
sap. Yesterday mine was exploded,
breaking down the wall between the
two tunnels aid letting the soldiers
at each other, there in the dark OF the
subterranean passages.
The Teutons we're taken by surprise
and after prolonged fighting were
driven back with the loss of prac'
tically every man caught in the gal
lery. ....
Up on top of the earth while this
fighting was going on below ground
the Germans were again attempting
to drive the French oHt of their posi-
lions on the famous Cote de Poivre
Pepper HID.
Time after time the infantry began
a forward movement, but night came
without a single attack reaching the
French trenches.
British Lines Hold.
Elsewhere along the French line
there were numberless small battles.
At st. Eloi the Germans launched
masses of men at the British positions,
after prolonged artillery lombard
ment. The Teuton commanders had
issued orders to regain, if possible,
about 600 yards of salient captured
by the British recently. 1t thrusts
itself into the Germans positions in Il
way that threatens other sections of
their line. At last reports the des-
perate fighting was going on and the
result was uncertain although the
German losses are said to have been
frightful.

WOMAN WOULD-BE
SUICIDE SAVED
BY Wild ride

To save the life of Mrs. Charlotte
Howell, who had taken ant poison,
the police ambulance made wild
drive last night. It was successful in
the race with death. ":.~.
Mrs. Howell is the wife of Chief
AIachinist's Mate NJ. w. Howell, U.
S. NJ, stationed on the U. 8. s. Alert
at Pearl Harbor. She was divorced
before marrying him. Having saved
up $3.50 towards the first payment he
intended to make on runabout auto
that would take him from his home
near School and Nuuanu streets back
and forth, to his ship at Pearl Harbor,
Howell turned this amount over to
his wife for safe keeping. r
About this time Mrs. HowelPs first
husband came to her pleading for as
sistance to enable him to leave for
the mainland, where he felt there
were better prospect in store for him.
Mrs. Howell used the largest part OF
the $3.50 to assist him.. according to
the story told the police.
When Howell returned home and
asked for the money scene was ere
ated, the outcome Of which was the
taking of poison, quantity of DEATH
to-ants paste, by Mrs. Howell. The
ambulance rushed Mrs. Howell to the
emergency hospital, where the stom-
ach pump was used with good results.
En- route to the hospital the ambu.
lance had a very narrow escape from
serious collision. The escape was
SO narrow that the ambulance has no
rear right door now.
This is the second time Mrs. How
ell has been in the emergency hospital

time, which occurred about three
weeks ago, turned out to be only a
