j AT q Injecting VI the ENDOSltiOu As
ISOLATION Of Hawaii, Supt. Cooper in
whose charge Is placed the $4,000 ap-
preparation for the st. Louis EXPOSE
| ton was delegated to arrange the ex-
hiblt ind appoint commissioner TO
the fair
Mr.. Cooper who was present at the
meeting outlined In brief what his
plans for the exhibit were. He said
that work should begin Immediately in
arranging display. and that a man
should be appointed to get together ar
ticles to be exhibited and also to carry
on the work to the end, including the
Louis.
Il think we should lose no time" said
Mr.. Cooper, 1.-The exhibit should be
prepared Immediately. In some ways
show Off our exhibit but 1t was evil
GENTLY not the intention of the legis-
iature to have building"
Mr.. Cooper inquired the cost of the
projected building and Mr.. Spencer
stated that the estimates were slightly
over 1000. The sentiment was ex-
pressed that this would leav. too small
all amount for the actual preparation
OF the exhibit.
My idea" continued Supt. Cooper,
lis to arrange transportation exhibit
Ger one thing-a display OF the models
Of all the steamers running into Ha-
wall, and also of the transportation
fe cilities here. Then also there should
he photographs of our hotels. soms-
thing to show that we are prepared TO
accommodate whatever visitors come to
the islands,
Mr.. Cooper suggested also that there
should be information at the disposal
OF the commissioner showing just how
much it would cost to visit the islands.
He also favored n display of the pro-
ducts of Hawaii, including curios
showing the progress since early times.
1.-THE school exhibit has already been
arranged for" said Mr.. Cooper.
Mr.. Allan Herbert who was present
suggested that there should be an agri-
cultural display and this sentiment met
with hearty approval. There will be
besides an exhibition by the United
States Agricultural Department, but
this will b. in the general building in
States are to be displayed.
WHO SPENDS THE MONEY?
The legislature did SOM queer things
in it's provision for the governmental
departments and the ST. Louis Expo
sition fund suffered along with the
rest. There is an appropriation of $2O,-
900 for this purpose 20 be expended I'M
der the direction of the Superintendent
~ t., L.. h.
six months bill and in the eighteen
months bill 1t appears again, but this
time under the office of the Secretary
of the Territory. This amount is to be
"only such portion of same to be used
rs amounts to the unexpended balance
of appropriation for this purpose for
the period ending January list, 1904"
This makes another division of autaori-
ty, Cooper will have to oversee the
work OF preparing the exhibit while
Carter will take charge Of the work on
the first OF the year.
Before an adjournment was taken
yesterday afternoon motion by Mr..
Spencer was carried to the effect that
Supt. Cooper should be authorized to
appoint an exposition commissioner to
work under his supervision. This was
carried unanimously Mr.. Cooper stat
ed afterwards that he had no one in
mind for the position.
. . . . go
dollars in the bank" said Cunningham.
ut was something like the Chinese
fund. 1t seems to me he deserves let
ter from Mr.. Brown of Merchant
street"
"Mr. Dee and others have written
him." said Dayton.
"Ill bet a letter from High Sheriff
Brown would fetch him"
Mr.. Cunningham suggested there
ought to be a vote OF censure for ev-
cry officer besides Mr.. Dee.
DEE REPORTS ON DAVIS.
Mr., Dee made another effort to re-
port He said when the directors took
hold there were $4,000 owing, which
had been reduced to $4,000. Further
that Paul Neuman had been engaged
to watch the company's interests and
afterwards Geo. Davis. Then Davis
had run away to Washington and new
lawyers had to be employed, but Davis
crept into court when the decision came
awarding the lawyers 100000. Mr.. Dee
said he had asked Judge Humphreys
about the fee, and had been told that 1t
was payaDle only upon the TecoVeTy VI
the Judgment awarded, but in spite OF
that Humphreys directly issued an or
der for the payment OF $500 though the
money had not been all recovered. IF
that isn't against the law I don't know
what u.s." said Dee. "There have been
some nasty remarks made about me. but
/ will say right now that no one can
put finger on a point and show where
I haven't done right. ! am out Of
pocket, but I'm not squealing. AS far
as the directors are concerned ] am
ready to step down and out, and let
some of the rest OF you try 1t awhile"
