No more will the familiar strains Of
"Aloha. De" be heard by passengers
departing on steamers for the Coast,
for the Royal Hawaiian Band Is now
barred from the wharyes Neither win
any persons be allowed on the piers to
welcome or farewell their friends.
This Is not regarded as a necessity,
and the last good-bys or welcomes
must take place outside the 100 yard

Many Want Passes -"
The work of issuing special permits
to those persons entitled thereto rs
proving a big task, and yesterday
captain Foster, harbor master, and
fCapt. d. l.. Mackaye,, Hawaiian Ma
tional Guard were kept unusually busy
doing out passes. Anxious to secure
the necessary permits, dozens Of people
besieged Captain Fosters Office in the
early morning. The steady stream
swelled as the day wore on, and before
five O'Clock in the afternoon several
hundred permits had been issued.
With 900 applicants yet TO be con-
sidered, Captains Foster and Mackaye
ceased work at half2past Eve, but be-
fore leaving an order was placed To-
eally for the printing Of an additional
1000 passes which are to be delivered
this morning. Before a permit is is
sued, the applicant must submit a let
ter from his employer, stating that he,
the applicant, has bona fde business
on the waterfront. This business must
be Legitimate, otherwise q pass will
not be given. g...
There are three classes Of permits,
and these are distributed according to
the nature Of the applicant business
on the piers. First, there is the tenn
porary pass, printed on white card.
board to be taken up on presentation.

tween the hours of seven in the morn

Patrol Is Expensive ''
Evans Merchant Patrol and Miles
Protective Agency, two local detective
agencies, have been empowered with
the work of hiring and working the
guards. There will be three wdtcheA
Of eight hours each, sixteen men to q
watch! The guards will be clad in
civilian clothes, but will wear identi.
Efeation badges pinned on their coat
lapels, The patroling Of the restricted
area will cost the Territory approx.
mately $1,000 a month. g.
OF those persons who, yesterday, APP
piled for passes, many were turned
away empty handed. In several In
stances, stevedores and odd jobbers on
the waterfront were refused permits,
while q number Of others engaged in
more aristoeratic occupations were also
turned down cold. Before passes are
issued Captain Foster must be tho
roughly satisfied that the applicant is
La man Of integrity. .
No Passes for Crews
Crews Of sailing ships, sampans and
liners will not be given permits, hut
an officer of the ship will be stationed
at each entrance to identify the men
as they 60 ashore and only In this way
will the sailors be allowed to enter the
piers. This same procedure probably
will be followed regarding the crews
of all other steamers. !:
The steamer tickets of all passen-
gers about to depart from Honolulu
will be sufficient to pass them on the
pliers. These tickets win be punched
by the guard, and once person boards
the vessel on which he intends TO
travel, he will not be permitted, unless
under special circumstances, to leave
the wharf again.
The presidential proclamation bar.
ring German alien enemies from the
waterfront still remains effective, and
on no consideration win q German
alien enemy be permitted to enter the
100 yard waterfront zone. g..
