The first meeting Of the Board of Trade
in the new year was held at the Masonic
Temple last night
The first business before the board was
the reception of the reports of committees
and the adoption of resolutions. The eNecu-
tive committee reported favorably on the
resolution of the New York Board of Trade
to send a memorial to the President ask
ing him 10 call an international conference,
the object of which would be to protect
private commerce of all nations during the
prevalence of war.
An amendment to the bylaws was adopt
ed which provides that hereafter the part
nership membership fee for the board shall
be 50. instead Of $40 or, in other words.
that the fee for both members of busi-
ness firm shall be SIS annually, instead of
500 as has been the case. The report OF
the committee on library was read by the
secretary. In part 1t was as follows;
The project Of establishing free library for
the use OF the people OF the National Capital has
at length reached Il successful elimination. The
library las been started the finn footing under
the auspices of Congress, and is established at No.
1926 New York Avenue, with upward of 2O,rDJ
volumes. IL is Justly STYLED and regarded as an
adjunct Of the public schools and has awakened !
widespread interest.
Tie first estimate "i the Commissioners for this
library WAS for Sl2301. and for the current
wear. They have asked that Congress appropriate
for the year ending June 30, ISIS slG,2sO which
includes 5000 for the purchase OF books From
iions Tor the same period will fully equal this
amount.

A FALSE ALARM VOTE IS WANTED

An Open Letter to Speaker Reed
Male OHgarchy" Condem
ned-"Grave Mistake"

HonOred Sir:-We notice with keen
interest a bill before Congress TO reg
uiate the political status OF the inhab-
itants OF Hawaii
In our opinion il is a grave bIunder,
at this stage Of civilization, as a new
century dawns upon us, 20 establish a
male oligarchy" in any Of the terri
tories that have lately come into our
possession.
The marked feature in the legisla-
ton OF the present century has been
the growing liberality of our laws for
women, until in four States they have
been crowned with all the rights OF
American citizens. The women of Ha-
wall should be accorded the highest po-
sition occupied by any in the United
States. But the bill before Congress
by limiting all official positions TO
male citizens adds a depth TO wo-
mems degradation We of the States
have not yet experienced.
We can hold every official position
from President down 10 School Trus-
tee, but the women of Hawaii would be
denied all official positions of dignity
and power should this bill pass Con-
gress.
If the men of our Republic have not
the justice and wisdom to establish a
Government of equality in all their new
possessions, they should at least avoid
giving women an inferior position to
that already attained here, especially
as the most important step to a higher
civilization is the education and eleva-
ton of the mothers of the race
II would be a grave mistake to begin
the century with retrogressive legisla-
ton for women naturally looking to
our flag as protection for all their in
alienable rights.
Your sentiments, honOred sir, in fav-
or of the enfranchisement of women
have been SO freely expressed on many
public occasions that We appeal to you
with confidence to use your official po-
sition 70 prevent, if possible, this pro-
posed legislation, perpetuating, as il
will, in other ATTITUDES these inyidious
distinctions of sex.

Displays at an Exposition Would
Not Be Taxed.
THERE is TALK TO CONTRARY
Some Commission Men Fear Opposition
The License Fee-ViewS
of the Marshal

Since the exposition of the views OF
the city merchants IN regard to the In
dustrial Fair, contemplated 10 be held
in Honolulu in May or June next, con-
siderable attention has been given the
matter
1t now appears that the project will
be strongly opposed by some of the
commission merchants now doing bust
ness in this field. Several Of these gen
tlemen speak disoouragingly of the
scheme, citing for their reasons insult
| fcient volume of business to be Sc
cured, lack OF proper hotel accommOda-
tons, sanitary conditions of the city,
| etc.
One OF two commission men have
raised the point that the exhibitors
Will be liable TO the $500 license law.
They insist that the coast manufacture
ers are counting on both placing and
pushing their lines throughout the
| Islands through the medium of the Ex-
position.
These commission men add that such
| a H4cCCtAAi z cAi LIZ k'SA~ vi lAAC hAA]NAAo
Ifacturers or their representatives would
be in conflict with the existing law,
which provides against the soliciting of
trade without a license for the sale of
merchandise. This license costs $500
for the Island of Oahu and $3.50 for the
other islands.
They intend bringing the matter be-
fore the Marshal at the proper time
and question that he will have any
alternative other than TO cause the
arrest OF those manufacturers ignoring
the law The Marshal would exper-
fence difficulty, they add, in reconciling
those commercial men who have al
READY planked down big license money,
should he refuse to prosecute.
\ merchant OF long standing said to
the Advertiser yesterday:
There is considerable comment pro
and con the Exposition proposed to be
held here in May, and one objection to
having the fair is a point raised by the
commission merchants from their
standpoint respecting their Individual
interests.
This is a purely selfish objection
and has prompted some of them to ad-
vance an idea for publication which is
nothing more nor less than a threat
that any concern outside of Honolulu /
which sells, or allows to be sold, hisI
goods here will Re arrested for viola
ting the license law.
First, those who intend to have
goods, wares and merchandise here
are willing to spend some money here
TO introduce themselves, and their
goods. and nine out Of ten of them will |
continue their business once started |
through some concern here, thereby |
really only stimulating trade, and, sec
ond, they Will nearly all be we'll enough |
posted as to the application of the lie
ense law not TO be scared out by
threats which have little foundation
under the circumstances
Marshal Brown stated yesterday that
he understood that the manufacturers
were coming TO Honolulu to advertise
their goods, that they intended TO place
agencies here among the different mer-
chants and to supply the orders taken
through them. IN such event, the Mar
shall says, there will be no violation of
the law and the manufacturers will not
be disturbed by him.
