There VIII be three shows in one.
first the band concert, starting at
1880 and ending at SIS, then Colonial
Days. the historical Pageant from
SIS to 9:15. and lastly the big pyro-
technic display, the biggest ever seen
in honolulu, say the Carnival commit.
tee men, Special efforts have been
made to avoid the mistakes made by
the fireworks shows of past years,
and instead OF combining themselves
merely to pyrotechnics, the committee
has insisted that other features shall
be introduced. So the fireworks dis
play is to give vivid representation
of the battle OF Manila Bay. showing
the battleships at work hammering
the life out OF foes.
II you are fond of seeing good dane

to crafty this liking. Madame Lester
and the girls from the Central Gram
mar school are going to stage the
Mayflower dance as part n the elab-

has been hard at the work of rehears-
ing for whole week, and the results
she has accomplished are remarkable.
There are to be other dances as well,
Puritan dances and Pilgrim dances;
dances by Puritan lads and lassies

Days is to brood over the ball park,
keeping close touch to the fundamen-
tai patriotic spirit of Honolulu's great
Carnival.

RANDOLPH REPLIES
 TO JAMES MITCHELL

To the Editor of The AgeIIerald:
 As an old resident of Birmingham and one who has large interest in real estate in this city, it is with increasing regret and concern I read in our daily papers the sayings and views of some of our most prominent business men regarding realty values, which seems to have been brought out by the wholesale raises made by the county equalization board, whose arbitrary act in making the enormous increase in taxes just at this time has been the greatest calamity which has overtaken this city since the panic of 1893, as it seems to have destroyed the flckering spurt (which had begun to show, in anyone to make an investment in real estate and created constination in those who were strained to the limit to hold on with decreased rents. vacan- cies and lack of sales.
 I have heard Mn Robert Jemison, Jr., ask in open meeting, What is the mat ter with Birmingham and the papers have given it publicity. and I have won dered why ask the outside public such question, for I do not believe that there is anything the matter with Bir- mingham except the general depression throughout our southern cities. due to the destcruction of half the world that is taking place and the fact that we are not contributing thereto in munitions of war and the inability to market our principal money product. cotton, at fair price, lack of railroad rates and unrea- sonable charge for electric power which z~>+<x +. 70 ~s1~x ~k<x to give employment to the many people whom we have brought here on the fir ing line by advertising to the world our natural resources ideal climate and money possibilities.

 Chief of Police Kirby issued card this afternoon stating that if his cars have been used in the illicit traffic referred Ito it was without his knowl- edge or consent. He states that he has already withdrawn them from pub lie service and will sell them at once. He states that he expects to devote his energies in the future enti; ely to running down lawbreakers and assist ing the state and county officials in every way possible.

Values may be high now, because there are no buyers, but up to three years ago. before the rumble of marching armies upset the business world, these values were right.

In fact, real estate was the best investment in the city-the best producer.
 And why condemn a ship in storm. It has then poor sale value, but when the winds die down and the waves cease, where is your Appreciated value? There will be many buyers for a ship that weathers the worst storms, but few sell CTS.
 This cry of What is the matter with Birnlingham?" has borne fruit. There comes a voice from the outside who an- swers the invitation and proceeds to tell us in these columns of your valuable paper of our failings. shortcomings and lack of public spirit. Calls us socialistic, and this from the manager of the Ala bama Power company, a foreign corpo- ration, who has secured franchises from the state worth millions of dollars for what promises to develop power from our streams and rivers, so that the small industries can come to Alabama grow and multiply. Our city and towns get cheap light for buildings and streets and our people can see light and feel heat at a minimum expense, and what have they done for our good socialstic people of Birmingham? Forced us to vote bonds for a coal burning electric plant, to furnish electricity for our city, and as the lawyers say, the written instrument is the best evidence. Good people refer
