W. y. Smith repoI ted that while in
Washington a few weeks ago, the Hon.
John H Foster, q member of tie as
ISOLATION, spoke TO him on the sub
-ect OF a contribution hom Hawaii 10
the National Memorial Mr.. Foster
believes that a cont. ibution shodid &c
iIade from The Territory of Tia
to the national fund, and if ne at
tempt is made to obtain two funds
(. ON Hawaii. one for the national
appropriation and one for local mon
ument, that neither will anlouht to
much.
A magnificent memorial arch will
be erected over the Potomac ri Sc,
which will represent the contributions
OF all States and Territories of the
United States. He thinks that Ha-
wall ought to make an effort to be
represented in that monument. So
he suggests that the funds collected
or to be collected be turned over TO
the National Memorial Committee.
A long discussion followed, in which
Govei nor Dole, C. NJ. Cooke, the Rev.
DR.. Westervelt and George Davies
took part
C. NJ Cooke thinks that there ought
to be a memorial monument.
What seems to be the most popular
proposition is that of Mckinley me-
mortal playground. Children and
grown up people alike are contributing
to the fund, and a playground VIII re
children could play and & own up peo-
pie could indulge in athletic sports,
would, ii seems, be most acceptable.
It was suggested that the newspa-
pers be requested to show their pa
tIiotic spirit by opening their columns
to the publication Of the subscript on
lists and also by opening list of their
own. Blanks will be furnished them
by the committee.
Wallace Harrington and r. H. Cham
berlain, representing the Oahu COM
mittee of the Hawaiian memorial fund.
reported that a meeting of their club
was held Tuesday afternoon, at the
offices of H. Warehouse & Co. AS
il was their first meeting the proceed
ings were principally a general dis
cussion Of plans and suggestions.
A number of suggestions were made
among which was one by r. H Oh m
berlain, that inasmuoh as there is
wide difference of opinion as TO the
form the memorial should take. 1t
might be a good plan to leave it 10
the subscribers to the fund, to deter
mine by ballot. AS every subscriber
of so cents or more is entitled to a
memorial certificate, II was suggested
that a similar subscription be taken
as voting basis, and each subscriber
given as many votes for his choice
of the form the memorial should take
as his subscription is multiple of so
cents. The votes could be received
at the time the subscription is made
and filed away until the subscription
ic complete, when they will be counted
and the form determined.
NJ. osborne, a local sculptor, ap-
peared before the committee and said
that he had prepared three sketches
of monuments, which he will submit
to the committee at the next meeting.
The subscription list SO far stands
as follows:
The Hawaiian Gazette Co.. do
nation of 10000 certificates. $500
