WILL RAISE FUNDS FOR
A ST. LOUIS EXHIBIT
Merchants Decide That Hawaii Should Be Repre-
sented at the Expositon---E. N. Boyd Nay
Leave on Korea to Arrange for Display.

Hawaii viii have an exhibit at ST.
Louis if the merchants and citizens of
the Territory are willing to subscribe
a fund of s15.0 900 to pay the expenses
of the proposed display. This much
was decided upon at the joint meeting
yesterday afternoon of the Chamber
of Commerce, Merchants Association
and Hawaii Promotion Committee held
in Castle & Cooke hanA If the Pro-
motion Committee, IN whose hands the
task of raising funds and preparing
the exhibit has been placed, sees hope
of getting the $4,000, even though in
the nature of loan to be repaid by
the government at some future date,
Secretary E. NJ. Boyd will be sent to
ST. Louis on the Korea Thursday, to
make the necessary arrangements. A
second meeting is to be held Monday
at which time it will be known wheth-
er or not the project of an exhibit at
private expense is feasible. The plans
proposed at the meeting call for an ex-
hibit practically on the lines originally
laid out, although if this cannot be
done. it is probable that at least an
information bureau will be established
at St. Louis, to offset in some measure
the hula show that seems to be, SO far,
Hawaiis only certain representation.
MACFARLANE CHAIRMAN.
e. ID. Tenney. as vice president of
the Chamber of Commerce called the
meeting to order and suggested F. W.
Macfarlane as chairman with E. M.
Boyd as secretary of the meeting.
Both motions were adopted unani-
mously.
Commissioner Macfarlane outlined
in brief for the meeting the work al
ready accomplished, saying that every
one knew that the government had
found it impossible to use the appro-
priation made by the legislature for
the exhibit. The fishes, Pearl Harbor
map, the fruits, including seventy va
rieties of mangoes, educational exhibit
and seventy-six varieties of woods,
made up the display already prepared.
In addition there are also in Chicago
10000 copies of the handbook of Ha-
waif intended for distribution at St
Louis The expense so far incurred
amounted to $500. Secretary Reeves
of the Worlds Fair Committee had
urged Hawaii to exhibit, saying it
would be the mistake of a lifetime If
the Islands did not do so. General
Macarthur and Admiral Evans while
here had been shown the relief map
of Pearl Harbor and had united in the

At her home, Sc East North Temple
street, she has five children, the young
est a girl of 4 and the eldest boy of
13. With her lives her mother a sister
of Apostle John n. Taylor. Mrs
Schwartz was a plural wife of william
Schwartz. She declared today that all
her life she had been a believer in
polygaTny and accepted the revelation
of Joseph Smith as the word of Cod
Referring to the testimony of Pres
ident Smith she said:
He's giving it TO them straight and

Edna L. Smith, who resides at 143
North Second West street is one of the
Lampson sisters. The two girls were
married to President Smith in Endow-
ment House on the same day. One
ceremony sufficed to marry both to the
Mormon chief. Edna L. Smith was out
spoken in the praise of the attitude
assumed by her husband on the wit
ness stand at Washington. She said:

course an honest man could pursue.

opinion that it would be most valuable
for Hawaii to place 1t before Congress-
men, as they could obtain such a come
prehensive idea of the needs of Pearl
Harbor in no other way. Macarthur
had said it would have great weight
with Senators and Representatives and
might bring about the opening of the
harbor and the improvements desired
Admiral Evans had said that it was a
very clever advertising dodge" and
with the war cloud hanging over the
world, might make Congress appre-
ciate the necessity for improvements.
Macarthur had said also that the
opening of Pearl Harbor would mean
the placing of 1000 men here. who
would require a large amount of sup
plies from the merchants. Lately
when the exhibit was given up it had
been proposed to Secretary Taft that
the War Department include the Pearl
Harbor map in its exhibit 4I have
called this matter to the attention of

Territory from being advertised TO the

that if man goes to see with his wife,

MR.. FUNsTON's VIEWS.
Commissioner Funston of the Expo
sition Committee at st. Louis was next
introduced and urged the necessity of
an exhibit, and the proper advertise
ment of the attractions of the Islands
to the world at large. "I came here
two months ago on the America Ma
ru,' said Mr.. Funston, intending to
stop over one steamer for seven days.

story of a recent experience that she

rules require when a child reports ILL.,

shall find out whether such illness is
contagious or not. and il is customary
TO send the child home for a statement
of facts. The other morning one of
the younger boys reported that his
mamma was sick" He was sent home
TO find out the nature of the illness
and soon returned with the informa-
ton:

Automobiles and Class Hatred.

We had Supposed that the hostility
to automobiles signifed nothing more
than the hoodIumism Of uneasy boys
who have no Fairgrounds. and who
throw stones and bottles because they
want some outlet for their energy. A
boy was arrested in New York some
time ago for breaking the pictured
windows of a church When asked
why ne did it he answered, What else
is there to do?" A chance TO play tag
and ball in a playground would cure
him of the window-smashing habit. as
il would cure his fellows of the habit
of throwing missiles at automobiles
But we are assured by the observanr
that the enmity of the slum pOpulaee
for people who ride in hOrseless car
riages is founded on something deeper
than superfiuous vitality. 1t is hate
OF the rich. which is encouraged by
the yellow papers, that are owned by
the rich, but edited for circulation
among the poor, whose pennies make
the rich still richer. That there is a
class rather than a personal feeling in
this hostility is betokensd by the fire.
