Camp Roosevelt is the name by
which this years camp of the Nationa!
Guard of Hawaii at Manoa will he
known" said Colonel Jones last even
ing. IAN preparations for the target
practice were completed yesterday
and the soldiers will be ready for an
early start this evening"
Yesterday Governor Dole received
the ministerial petition protesting
aSuiHsl the VI d SllaTn Ddltis
on Sunday, but after consultation with
Col. j. w. Jones he decided to allow
the camp to be held. In the evening
other petitions circulated among lay
men were also presented. The follow
ing is a copy:
Honolulu, II. T., Oct. q, 1901
To his Honor, Sanford b. Dole, Governor
of the Territory of Hawaii:
Dear Sir:-We the undersigned pro-
taSf n, inG hn Matt :,
Territory being allowed to have artillery
practice and sham battles on Sundays.
We believe that few, IL any. presidents
can be found for such action in any other
of the States or Territories of the United
States.
Therefore, we call your attention to
the proposed official exercises of the Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii on Sunday next
and do most respectfully ask that you, as
the official head of the National Guard,
issue orders countermandlng the propos-
ed Dissertation of the Sabbath.
Governor Dole's reasons for the re-
fusal last night to heed the ministerial
protest are given as follows:
II have received one petition which
comes from the clergy of the city, re-
questing that no sham battles be held on
Sunday. As the military exercises ir
question are not a sham battle but rath-
er nave the nature OF target practice, ]
saw no reason for granting the request"
When the governor was informed that
other petitions had been formulated and
would probably be handed to him very
soon, he replied, that in that case he
would not be able to give his final de-
cision before these petitions had been
seen by him.
Colonel Jones, speaking of the pro-
test OF the Ministerial Union yesterday
said:
Il cannot see why the people waited
untl all arrangements for the camp had
been made. before they entered their pro-
test. Our intention of going into camp
on Sunday had been announced for over
a month In the nuhlic nress prnctin,ll.
