Public spirit manifested itself yester-
day at meeting of the subcommittee
of the Fourth of July general commit
tee in planning that the coming ma
tional holiday be observed with par
ade Of military and civic bodies, ora
tions in the Capitol grounds and dane
ing in the evening at the Young and
Hawaiian hotels. The meeting was
held in the throne room of the Capitoi
building at IL a. m, with Col. j. w.
Jones in the chair, Secretary Taylor
and Treasurer Hall being present.
The secretary notified the meeting
that c. NJ. Cooke, appointed chairman
of the Finance Committee, had declined
to serve, but held himself ready to con-
tribute funds when the subscription list
came around. Mr.. Gilman also notified
the committee he would be unable TO
serve L. E. Pinkham, of the Finance
Committee, who was present, SAID
nothing had been done to collect FUNDS.
The Literary Committee, through w.
r. harrington, chairman, announced
its recommendations were for literary
exercises to be held at 1880 a. m. in
the Capitol grounds; that Theo. Rich
ards be requested to organize chorus
of school children to sing national an
thems accompanied by the band or other
music; that F. E. Thompson be selected
to read the Declaration of Independ-
ence. The committee asked for an al
lowance of 500. The committee has
also appointed a subcommittee to see
Mr.. W. G. Irwin to secure the Opera
tn, thn
Fourth. The Acting Governor will be
asked to preside at the literary eXer-
-cises. The following is the proposed
form of program:
Music, prayer, music, reading of Dec
laration of Independence, music, ad-
dress, American citizenship" music
address, Future of the Republic The
report was adopted
The Sports Committee, through Harry
z. Murray, had no report to make. 1t
was finally decided to cut out sports
program, as the boat races at Pearl
Harbor in the forenoon and baseball in
the afternoon would cover this feature
G. w. r. King of the Ball Committee
did not think a ball necessary. w. r.
Harrington, however, proposed that
dances be given at both the Young and
Hawaiian hotels in the evening, the
committee furnishing music for both
places. In the event of the transport
Thomas arriving on the morning OF the
Fourth from Manila, the band aboard,
if any, might be secured for the dances,
as we'll as the parade. G. w. r. King
was appointed chairman, vice Major
Potter, who will be out of town on
the Fourth. With the chairman will
be associated DR.. Hobby and f. G..
Smith.
C. l.. Crabbe for the Parade, Salute
and Fire works Committee, reported
that it was desired to have the parade
as early as possible. Captain Nichols,
U. S. A., suggested that the two ar
tillery companies from Camp Mcl<in-
ley would be in line at S:45 a. m. Cap
tain Catlin can have one company OF
marines in line. Col. Jones will have
the First Regiment, n. G. H., in line,
and the Fire Department would also be
represented. e. w. Quinn said the
Federated Trades We're not very strong
in numbers at present, but could make
a good showing. An auto, carriage and
float section for the parade was also
suggested. Mr. Crabbe said about 500
worth of good fireworks could be OBJ
tanned As to bands the st. Louis and
Catholic bands might be had. The
committee thought 5000 would cover ev-
erything, including fireworks.
The sum of $500 at the outside is
thought to be sufficient for all commit
tees.
Adjournment was taken to II a. m.
next Wednesday.
