able, of seating a thousand or twelve
hundred people, and a cafeteria for
hot lunches for the day students.
Tho plan has been approved by the
board of trustees, who are to appoint
a 'committee of three to co-opcrato
with the alumni committee. Tho
alumni committee consists of Frank
C. Atherton, W. W. ChamBerlaln, Wtl
lard E. Brown, Harold Dillingham, W.
G. Lowrey and others.
I The publicity work will bo done by
' a magazine shortly to be issued, espe
cially for this purpose. All tho plans
will bo contained In this magazine, to
gether with an outlllie of tho cam
paign to bo carried on. There will
also be a lot of rellablo information
about Punahou and the alumni. It
will bo distributed amqng thoso who

campaign. Tho campaign will start
in full force In about two or three
months, and in tho meantime, the
magazine will begin Its publicity work

Already great enthusiasm has been

This morning tho Advertiser published a purported interview with
Governor Frear which ended in theso surprising words:
"Personally I have received no word at all of tho
coming of a commissioner, but I believe that the in
formation of The- Advertiser, that one is to come hero,
Is correct."
The Star, having had an editorial telephone lntorvicw with the Gov
ernor on tho same subject yesterday, know thai this morning "quota
tion" could not be true and inquired about it over tho phono. Tho
Governor replied in tho following words which wo report verbatim:

THINK THAT THEY WOULD SEND OUT ANYONE
UNTIL THEY HAD RECEIVED MY REPLY TO THE

SUPREME COURT TAKES CHARGE '
OF THE KUKAIAU CASE
Tho Supreme Court this morning
mady absolute a prohibition order
against Judge Cooper, restraining him
from having any further proceedings
In the action that Is mow pending on
appeal between Albert and Robert
Horner on tho Kukalau case.
Robert Horner brought a wilt oi
mandamus against his brother somo
months ago to compel his brother Al
bert to call a meeting of the compa
ny. Tho matter was fought out befor?
Judgo Cooper, who granted tho appli
cation. An appeal was taken by Al
bert Horner by his attorneys,-Wilder,
Thompson, Watson & Lymer. This ap
peal to tho suprc-me court Is still pond
ing, and In tbo natural order of busl-
SCAR
E
ncss should bo reached sometime next
week.
Notwithstanding this appeal, how
ever, an application was mado to
Judge Cooper by Itobert Horner ask
ing that lie havo tho mandamus put
into effect. The other side contend
ed that it was beyond tho circuit
Judgo'a jurisdiction now, and that he
had no right to tako any further ac
tion on tho matter.
This question was lecided by tho
supremo court this morning, when the
writ of prohibition applied for by
Judgo Wilder was made absolute"
against Judgo Cooper, preventing him
from taking any further part in tho
caso until tho appellato court may oth
erwise order.

SICKNESS AND DEATH ON VOYAGE
It will bo remembered that Boveral
months ago thoro was quito a scare
along tho waterfront In regard to the
fate of the Norwegian steamer Ti
tanla. This vessel arrived hero this
morning a bit battered after heavy
storms, hut otherwise all right.
Tho Tltanla arrived off port early
this morning and was boarded short
ly afterward by Dr. Hamus and the
custom boys. Dr. Hamus discovered
that sho had been in Mexican ports,
that thoro had boon a death from an
unknown sickuoss on board, and that
thoro was anothor caso of fever this
morning. In tho circumstances, there
fore, Dr. Ramus felt justified in sub
jecting her to fumigation.
Tho Tltanla was at Manzanlllo for
twenty days, loavlng thoro on Decem
ber 20 last. After she left thero somo
mosquitoes wero noticed on board.
Uoforo that Guayamas was visited, an
othor Mexican port, whero a Mexican
was taken on board as a momber of
tho crew. From Manzanlllo tho Tl

certainly thero is no corner of tho
globe in which lie is being toasted

band ot well-wishers than in Honolu

wero crowded from 11:30 until 1:30

any lack of provision for making tho
gathering a festive and joyful one.

pagne glasses wont tho rounds In an
endless nnd incxhnustiblo chain and
other refreshments woro served as
freely from a flower-decked table In
tho reception room. Thero woro no
speeches, no formalities, hut toasts
and songs sprang from groups in
overy quarter of tho offices with gen
uine spontaneity and tho Hawaiian

dued moments.
Thero wore almost as many "Inu

"hoch dcr Kaiser" toasts, for thero
woro many Hawallans there, as well
as Japanese and resident foreigners
of all nationalities. Portraits of tho
emperor and empress were decorated

All tho resident consuls called to

and tho rooms wero still crowded with
