turned from the national shooting COM
petition at Seagirt, New Jersey, where
Hawaii's boys were treated very hand
somely, was thinking 1t TO be great
Idea to send back East to the Adjutant
of New Jersey and to General Hall OF
the Militia Bureau, Washington.
about one hundred pounds of Hawai-
ian coffee done up in five-pound pack
ages, for distribution among army men
and to show that Hawaii remembered
the handsome treatment received at
Seagirt. Mr.. Boyd said the idea was,
Of course, to excite the commissary de-
partment to the use of Hawaiian coffee.
Spalding-"Is 1t necessary for us to
buy the coffee?"
McCandless told the Committee that
he and his brothers had from time to
time sent altogether about one hun
dred sacks Of coffee back East to
friends and people with whom they had
become acquainted while they were
passing through this city, but never
had they received any request from the
mainland for more Of Hawaii's coffee
II might be very good advertisement
for the Territory to be sending coffee
away like this, but he found ii little
difficult to see where any benefit was
derived from the work in business
way. If people had only written back
to the Islands and asked for more OF
the coffee-even at the same price.
there would he something OF encour-

Fred. Smith Arrives.
1t was at this point OF the proceed
lngs that Mr.. Fred Smith, having been
telephoned for as previously noted, en-
| tered. All other members of the Com
mittee rose from their seats to greet
the member-at-large, welcoming him
to his place at the table in q very
hearty manner.
Boyd went on to tell all about what
a good time the Hawaii National
Guardsmen had In New Jersey. how
they met the Governor of the State and
how their headquarters was besieged
by people anxious to make the acquain-
lance of men from the Hawaiian Is
lands. He also told how much Col.
Jones and others Of the National Guard
had done in the way of distributing
folders and other literature and infor-
nation in regard to the Territory.
] Boyd thought 1t would be a good idea
to fix the favorable impression HI-
wall had made by sending back hum
dred pounds OF coffee.
Johnson thought it would at least be
n good ad.
Want Free Coffee.
Spalding suggested that the Secre-
tary look up the matter and see If the
coffee could be secured without charge
Boyd said he would write Bruner
Bruner would probably respond with
the goods.
"lf Burners coffee Is not old enough,
said McCandless, you might go to II
Hackfeld's and exchange 1t for oldei
coffee"
Fred Smith thought perhaps BILLY
hoogs would be willing to give som,
coffee away. Somebody mentioned
Morgan as likely coffee philanthro
pist.
Spalding thought McStocker woult
be willing to donate coffee. The mat
ter was left in the hands of the secre
tary to develop and arrange.
Johnson then drew attention to tn
fact that It would be well to proceed
to the election Of permanent officers
He named Fred Smith for Chairman
Mr.. Smith said he would not conside
the position. He wanted to thank tn,
members for doing him the honor t.
choose him on the committee. He sal,
that he had consented to come on yer!
unwillingly, but now that he was oil
again he would do all in his power t
help the work along. When he had re
signed he had firmly intended to sta.
resigned, but considerable pressure hal
been brought to bear and he had dc
cided to again get in the work.
McCandless Is Chairman.

nominations closed and the secretar,
cast ballot for McCandless.
Mr.. McCandless thanked the mem
bers and declared that all should hav
their hearts in the work. He adde
that the Committee was fortunate Il
securing Mr.. Fred Smith. He believe
the Committee could accomplish
great deal Of good for Hawaii
Hear! Heart" said Johnson.
Spalding named Johnson for treas
urer, but johnson would have none c
It and proposed Spaldlng for the posi-
ton. Spalding thought Johnso
, would be good man for the plac'
since he controlled the cash registe
, market. A cash register would com
in handy. Johnson said some mic
, things about Spalding, adding that h
