WALL STREET:
GREAT DEPRESSION IN BUSI-

PLOYES TO TAKE A
VACATION.

New York, MAJ. .2S.-Wall etreet
| is having such period of business
depression as it has not experienced
in several years and one result of it
is that hundreds of clerks have been
dismissed in the last ten days or
two weeks. Men who have not
known day of idlsness in a score
i of years now find themselves with
out employment and with no pros
pect of anything to do until the
dawn of another day of prosperity
in the street.
One of the largest operators on
the Stock Exchange said yesterday
that on conservative estimate he
believed that no less than $500 en-
ployees had been dismissed by the
brokerage and banking houses in
the last two weeks.
This operator called attention to
the fact that only about hundred
thousand shares were traded in
yesterday.
"There are more than twelve
hundred banking and brokerage
houses in Wall street," said the op-
orator. "When you divide the
business of yesterday among all
this multitude of interests it must
be patent at glance that every day
means an enormous loss to the op-
orators. Every house has found it
absolutely necessary to make re-
trenchments in one way or another.
In most cases this has been &C.
complished by the discharge of as
many clerks as could be spared. and
at present that means practically
the whole force in all but the very
largest brokerage houses.
"Among the reasons for the gen.
eral depression in Wall street trad
ing perhaps the most potent grow
out of the enormous losses sustained
by the public in the industrial
group. The blow that was given
to investors in Steel alone was sufi'
cient to turn the public away from
Wall street for a considerab ble
period. The public lost millions
in Steel common alone, and that
has made the people wary Of all
classes of stock"
i The firm OF J. P. Morgan & Co
was among the first to reduce it.
working force when the "hard times
hit the street. Others followed sui
in rapid succession. The firm O
W. B. Franklin & Co. sent notices
yesterday to all of their force O
clerks and stenographers informing
them that they must either accep
a 20 per cent cut in salaries or TAX
vacations without pay.

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

"When you are in doubt tell

not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable 80
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends

.HAWA||'S
OLD SONGS
An Article in Thrum's
Annual Does Forced
Duty Abroad.

The following Honolulu letter APP
pears in the New York Sun of Sunday,
January "a. While its matter is pirat-
| ed from Thrum's Hawaiian Annual,
| the correspondent incidentally gives
credit to the author of the article In
that publication, nlr. Marx, who is an
enthusiastic member of the Honolulu
Symphony Club. Such publicity as the
New York Sun gives ought to greatly
enhance outside interest in Hawaiian
| music. This Is the letter:
HONOLULU, Jan. 5.--The last of the
old Hawaiian mele chanters will soon
have passed away and the photograph
| is now being used to record the songs
| they are still able to sing of ancient
Hawaii. For the mele chanters are the
historians of Hawaii.
There are still one or two living at
the Lunalilo Home in Honolulu, but
they are becoming so old and feeble
that dependence can no longer be
placed upon their ability to transmit
their songs to the Hawaiian of today.
In order, therefore, to preserve the
knowledge of the deeds of Hawaii's
warriors, kings and statesmen the
the photograph record has been adopt
ed and the records have been placed
in the Bishop Museum. the resting
place of Polynesian antiquities.
The Hawaiian mele is similar to the
Greek epic. The early Hawaians could
neither read nor write until the mis-
sionaries taught them how. but the
ancient history of the islands was not
allowed to perish because of that lack
of knowledge.
The mele is a record of early deeds
of valor, of historic events of centu-
ries ago. The brave deeds of the Ka-
mehamehas are recorded in the chants
of the mele singers. The knowledge
of these deeds was handed down from
one generation to another by means of
the mele.
1t was at once a song and poem.
Written by some poet of early days,
the mele of Kamehameha the Great
was handed down, word for word, I'M
til today 1t is preserved on the phono-
graphic record invented in the twenti-
eth century.
Each great family or chief had it's
own mele. Besides reciting the deeds
of valor of the head of the house. it
is made to include the genealogy of
the family down to the present date.
Those who assert that royal blood
flows in their veins seek to prove their
princely ancestry by means of their
family mele. Some of these, it is hint
ed. are spurious, and it is true that
only few of the old mele singers are
still living.
1t was no small job thus to keep
intact the record of the events of long
ago. The old meles We're hundreds and
sometimes thousands of lines in length,
and required hours and sometimes
days in the chanting.
Even If some modern Hawaiian We're
willing to spend days in memorizing
a mele, he would still find the task
impossible in all likelihood, because
