wireless telegraph station. 1t is located
at Nauen. twenty miles west of Berlin,

capable of fishing messages practically all
over the continent of Europe.
Attempts are now being made to COM

of more than 1000 miles. The central sta
ton Is already in touch with Trondhjem
In Norway, the route being overland to
the Baltic sea and thence over the water.
The station is designed primarily for the
Kaiser's military purposes in wartime.
Gradually all the great German fortlesses
on the French, Russian and Austrian
frontiers are being linked up with Nauen
so that if a German army is ever shut In

boat Mr.. Bryan smilingly said in an in
terview:
Reception Very Gratifying.
Speaking from a personal standpoint,
the receptions accorded me were very
gratifying. Speaking from "a political
standpoint / think that they showed a
marked change In public sentiment along
the lines of economic questions, especial
ly those questions relating to the trust
issue. The one unpleasant feature about
the receptions is that l have been so
busy speaking, and going from place to
place. that I have not had time to shake
hands with all those who had come great
distances.
"The reception which my nelghbors at
home are preparing will be a gratifying
one, but it can hardly be more cordial
than have been my receptions In the
east"

of prominent democrats with his advocacy
of federal own ships of railroads Mr..
Bryan said:
II have seen it stated that prominent
men have protested against the doctrine.
but until the prominent men give their
names. the objections cannot have any
influence. have not talked with any one
who had any protest to make. But have
discussed the matter both before and
after my speech with men who have
agreed with me. l have talked the matter
over for two years or more"
Mr. Bryan said that he was to speak In
St Louis on September II, Louisville
September 12, Cincinnati September 19,
Radford Va, September Is. He is also
to make two speeches in North Carolina,

gressional campaign in October

bye hapdshake. Early in the afternoon

MAY EXTEND ROAD
To WAIALAE BEACH

The Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
Company is arranging a ten-minute
schedule for the Beretania street line
and twenty-minute schedule for the
Kaimuki system. where 90 and 80 min
utes, respectively, have heretofore pre-
vailed.-BulIetin.
An Advertiser reporter investigated
a rumor to the above effect on Thurs
day and found there was nothing in
it, That is what Manager Ballentyne
answered when President L. Tenney
Peck asked him over the wire if he
knew how such rumor went abroad.
Speaking first for himself, Mr., Peck
assured the reporter that there was no
purpose of anything of the kind next
month as the rumor was, or at any
definite time in the future. True, it
was an idea that had been discussed
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-01-21

to have the Beretania street cars run
clear through from the Liliha street
terminus to Kaimuki with a twenty
minute service. but thus far the discus
sion only related to what changes in
switches, etc. would have to be made
when the altered schedule was decided
to take place.
Before the additional service would
be given, however, the traffic would
have to grow UP to it" It would not
pay now. Ultimately, Mr.. Peck hoped
the line would be extended from Kaf-
muik to Waialae beach, giving the peo-
pie OF Honolulu facilities TO reach the
oceanside in a new direction from that
to which they are accustomed.

BISHOP HAMILTON
SAYS HONOLULU IS
AT CROSSROADS


Honolulu is at the crossroads of all
the worlds great highways
Thus Bishop John w Hamilton, of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, now
in these islands for the purpose of rails
ing Hawaii out of the territory class in
his church polity, creating a
missionary conference and finally rails
ing it to an annual conference and so
to the dignity of what, by analogy, is
statehood in the organization. Bishop
Hamilton had been asked to give his
impression of the islands and their peo-
and spoke very thoughtfuny in the
larger view.
Il am a great believer" he continued,
''in the doctrine that the most ma
jestic drama in the worlds history is
to be played out on the Pacific ocean.
We have been a wandering people,
since Cain went out into the land of
Nod, and the movement has always
been westward. All eastward move
ments of people, indeed, have come at
last to stagnation and retrogression.
That is to be seen in China and Korea
The civilizing movement, and the
movement of Christianity and progress
has been westward.
This movement began long before
the dawn of history. The race came, |
from wherever it originated into |
Babylon and Nineveh, and presently |
there was a westward movement, and |
those two cities were swallowed up by |
the sands of the desert and oblivion |
covered them. Then, Jerusalem and
and Greece became the |
,enters of the next civilization, only in |
lime to decay, and Rome came up as |
he mistress of the world
''The westward movement of the race
continued, and the Goths and Vandals |
swept down upon Rome and it's civili- |
.ation was overwhelmed~@NTh and

ARMORES

Policeman EIvin Makes
Attack on Capt.
Leslie,

c. Elvin, armorer at the police sta
ton, was brought to Honolulu from
Waipahu plantation in irons at $50
o'clock last evening and now occupies
a cell at the police headquarters.
Elvin was sent down to Waipahu on
Friday with the police detachment to
assist in preserving order among the
striking Japanese. Yesterday after
noon while the Japanese were being
paid off, Elvin began hustling the Japs
about. showing some of them off the
veranda and otherwise molesting them
and causing uneasiness among the peo-
pie of the plantation.
Captain Leslie's attention was called
to Elvin's conduct. He watched him
for a short time and noticed that he
was behaving badly, and at once
asked him to leave the veranda and be
orderly. Elvin is said to have talked
back and to have continued his tao
tics. Leslie again ordered him to de-
sist. Thereupon Elvin became angry,
and snatching a rife from one of the
policemen, leveled it at Leslie. Leslie
and another officer sprang upon EIvin !
and overpowered him before he could !
use the weapon.
The armorer was Immediately hand
euffed and sent to the city under
guard.

The best people prefer to stay there, in

populations of New York and of Boston
is foreign. Nay, this tide of the riff
raft has reached even to Chicago, and
we see new centers springing up in
Los Angeles and in San Francisco.
CITY OF THE FUTURE.
Il believe, as the boys say, that at
the present moment Los Angeles has
the pull over San Francisco-and yet,
eventually. San Francisco is to be the
great city of the Pacific Coast The
advantage of Los Angeles lies in the
fact that the mixed population of San
Francisco has made it an immoral city.
The tide of progress is the tide of
Christianity, and in this progress San
Francisco has been slower because of
the mixed population and the larger
size of the place. But it's redemption
will come.
True progress has always been
marked by the swelling of the tide of
