TO INVESTIGATE


camille Guide OF California wanted an
advertisement from the Promotion
Committee. L. A. Marx had made the
request,
CLEAN further information as to the
publication in question.
A proposal from Col. J. Walter Jones
came to light, to the effect that some
packages of Hawaiian coffee be sent
to the Adjutant General OF the Ma
tional Guard OF New Jersey and also
to General Hall OF the Militia Bureau
at Washington. for distribution in the
cause of advertising.
McCandless stated that he had sent
a hundred lOO-pound bags Of coffee to
friends and acquaintances all over the
States, but added that he had yet to
receive an order resulting therefrom.
| Boyd went on to relate about the
New Jersey links Of the local Seagirt-
ers and stated that Col. Jones was of
the opinion that the good impression
made during the visit might be fixed
by judicious distribution Of coffee.

j. A. M. johnson informed the meet

trip. He said that he would visit the
principal cities of China and Japan
and remarked that II packages of pro-
motion literature were forwarded to
him at different points. he would see
to 1t that such were properly dis
tributed where they would do the most
good.
The matter of the alleged knock
ing of Hawaii by the officers of the
Pacific Mail steamships was discuss
ed and 1t was decided to obtain definite
statements and refer them to the COM
pany.
1t appears that 1t is the practice
aboard the Pacific Mail boats to at
tempt to dissuade passengers from
stopping off at this port by telling
them that the attractions of Honolulu
can be thoroughly exploited In day
and that II they remain longer they
will be sorry for 1t.
1t is understood that there is no com
plant against either the Oceanic or
Canadian company, who, through
agents and officers are said to be do
ing all in their power to get people
to visit Honolulu.
