PURCHASE EXPOSITION COMMIT
TEE ENLARGED.
COMMISSIONS Barrett and the Com
mittee Originally Appointed Discuss
Means of Completing Organization.

Commissioner Barrett and the COM
mittee of local business men appointed
to look after a Hawaiian exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition met
yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms in the Hackfeld build
ing and discussed further organization
for the preparation Of plans for an eX-
hbit. A number of names were added
to those on the committee, and 1t was
decided that the other islands should be
invited to name representatives. Act
ing Governor Cooper presided, and
those present were c. NJ. Cooke, ]. B.
Atherton, j. =. Cooke, f.. A. Schaefer,
b. F. Dillingham;, w. NJ. Giffard, w. w.
Dimond, H. A Isenberg and Secretary
James Gordon Spencer.
Commissioner Barrett addressed the
meeting, giving further explanations Lf
the plans of the exposition He fur
nished a preliminary map of the
grounds and explained the need of an
early application for space. The foreign
countries which first made application
were given the best places, and the
same rule largely applied % states ami
territories. Barrett counselled imme-
date action.
In answer to questions the commits
sioner explained that the erection of a
separate Hawaiian building would shut
tie teri itory out of the prize compe-
! tlJlOnS HllZeS were aWdTueu only lOI
exhibits in the main building. The
members of the committee appeared to
be considering the relative value of an
exhibit all Hawaiian, in a Hawaiian
building, and possibly successful COM
petition for prizes in the main buildings
but the matter was not taken up, as or
ganization has not yet progressed far
enough. Hawaii would lose identity
to a certain extent, the commissioner
[ n Il hNv nj pV
among the others. These, as at all ex-
hibitions, will be in machinery build
ings, agricultural buildings, etc, and
Hawaii would probably be mostly in
the agricultural building, unless she
had a building of her own.
The advisability of adding members
of the Builders Exchange and promi-
nent Hawaiians to the general commit
tee was suggested, and all present en-
dorsed the suggestion. AS representa-
tiYeS of the HawaiianS, Col. Sam cl
Parker, Senator David Kalauokalani
and Prince Cupid were named. The Sc
creIary Will address notes % them in
Viting them to serve on the commit
teh.
1t was decided that the selections of
members from the other islands should
be left to those islands, and Secretary
Spencer will write and ask that meet
ings be called for the election of repre-
sentatives When all these have been
chosen, a general meeting will be called,
to outline preliminary work, and head
quarters will be opened ComnIssio er
Barrett stated that it was OF the at
most Importance to have the committee
headquarters opened as soon as posi-
BILE in order that there might be place
where suggestions might be submitted.
