BOTH WANT THE SAME NAME

There is possibility that before an
other year has passed, three national
banks will have their doors open for
business in Honolulu. AS many COM
panies have requested charters of the
treasury department at Washington
and the final disposition OF these ap-
pIications is being patiently awaited
by those parties interested.
The enterprise to be launched by
Col George Macfarlane, James Camp
bell, Sam Allen, Perry S. Heath, as
sistant postmaster general, and others,
is well known here These gentlemen
have practically secured the charter for
the First National Bank cf Hawaii. The
institution will be established within
short time now.
Will E. Steele a successful young
financier of St. Paul and Minneapolis
with a number Of Minnesota capital
lists, was counting upon establishing
| the First National bank in Honolulu.
Mr. Steele made application for the
| charter Immediately after annexation
department that the charter would
have to be given to a previous appli-
cation, that of Perry S. Heath, which
had been filed early in the year 1898.
Mr. Steele did not think that the
Treasury Department was treating him
fairly and he went to Washington, a.
ccmpanied by his lawyer, to fight
against the granting of the charter to
Heath and his associates. Mr.. Steele
raised the point that Heath's applica-
ton. filed in 1898, was of no value, for
the reason that the Islands were not
annexed until August of last year The
Department admitted that the point
was we'll taken, but Informed Mr.. Steele
that Mr.. Heath had renewed his ap-
piicatiOn Immediately after annexation.
Failing in his attempt to secure the
| first charter, Mr.. Steele later on in
duced his associates to agree to estab
| lisb a bank in Honolulu TO be known
as the United States National Bank Of
Hawaii. Mr.. Steele has probably ap-
| piled for the charter.

S25, 100000 FOR SUGAR.
While in New York City re

While in New York City re-
Gently" says local sugar fac
tor and financier Of the highest
standing, Il was approached by
man representing a syndicate
that had S25, 100000 to invest in
cane estate property in these
Islands. In a nutshell the
scheme of this individual or his
principals was to get control OF
two or three or more adjoining
Plantations, consolidate them as
economy in management and
mill maintenance and then reOr-
ganize and recapitalize.
This sounded we'll enough
and put into a prospectus would
have an aIluring ring. The man
!. wanted to make conference
date with me, but my time was
taken and | could not meet him
as he wished. However, at his
earnest solicitation / gave him
my views briefly. i remarked
that there were many obstacles
in the road of the proposed big
deal.
The one that | enlarged upon
was expression of my belief that
the plantations could not be Sc
cured as the promoters planned.
There are several reasons to
back up this position. To men
who deal in large sums of
money or great aggregations of
capital, millions are not much
more than trifIes. but / told
him that while the capitaliZa-
tions here perhaps seemed
small, there was something be-
, hind the actual figures given.
: There is the experience and
: knowledge gained by daily con-
: tact with and study of the bust
? ness for a quarter of a century
, and over. This is worth some
? thing. 1t is worth more than
, even Island people realize.
Then again, / said that the
men who held these properties
were out of debt. They are not
seeking to sell. They would not
, know what to do with the cash.
: They are in the sugar business
the same as other people are in
; other lines. There is no reason
why they should not continue IN
business.
Il did not want to discourage
capital coming here. | told him
there was yet land for a number
OF sugar estates and that there
was considerable stock on the
market all the time l think
some of that money may come
from New York -
