REMOVED BY WEAVER.
PhiIadeIphia's Mayor DismisSes His
Advisory Board.

Philadelphia, Oct G-Mayor Weaver
startled Philadelphia to-day by snnounc-
ing that he had dissolved his advisory
board Of thirteen prominent citizens. This
body, which he appointed after mis- spec-
tacular break with the Durham NIcNicbol
ring on the question of the gas lease. p
year ago last May, has been his proD in
many trying political moments since then
The dissolution. unfOreshadowed only en-
phasized Mayor Viewers break with tbe
City Party. All the members Of the hoard
are stalwart City Party men. and the
mayors abrupt dismissal shows thar his
demarkation with the party is now dis
tinct.
Nine members Of the board responded
to the mayer invitation to meet in tbc
executive offices at noon. They were in
session only half an hour behind closed
doors. and what took place may never be
known.
After the adjournment the mayor. VIII
was hurrying away to attend a wedding
breakfast. said:
The advisory board is dissolved. There
viii be no more meetings We have part-
ed on the best of terms.
This was the only explanation the
mayor would make. None of the mem
bers of the advisory board would com
.ment in any manner on the dissolution of
the advisory body. An referred question
ers to the mayor
Immediately the news became known
that the mayor had parted with his ad
visory board the members Of the board
went into a secret caucus. At its conclu-
sion the members were silent, but one Of
them said
The trouble with John Weaver is that
he is man of tempcraments lie thinks
himself TO be the whole reform move
ment. whereas he is only one very minute
particle in that great movement. When
the mayor realizes that the people viii
not follow him he will see wherein he has

| In response to Mr.. Giffard's request
| for the expression of opinion, Mr.
Tenney said he could appreciate the
| feelings of the trustees in having the
! reports CARRIED, but that is matter
: that may be easily corrected and from
which they should be protected. AS a
member representing a business here
he was anxious to know what is going
on. He realized fully that there are
at times matters that should not be
published and when something of d
really particular nature is to be dis
cussed the trustees can attend to them
in executive session.
At the close of Mr.. Tenney's re-
marks the president said this phase of
the affairs of the chamber would have
attention at the next meeting of the
trustees.
MR.. MEARS OF PORTLAND.
Mr.. I.owrey read d letter accredit-
ing Mr.. Mears, a business man or

that the gentleman was present. he
would like the members to meet him

arrange a meeting of the Merchants
Association and the chamber and have
him address the members of both or

to say something. He manifested
great interest in the affairs of the

day and have luncheon. In that club

be possible for Honolulu to have so
large club as you have not the popu-
lation but you could have a similar
organization, perhaps, out of which

Your attendance here is unusual I

SUPPORT TO MILITIA.
The Chamber has continued It's suo-
port of the rd:litis turing the year as
it had done before, contributing sr,m
its own funds and seeking to interest
others. The matter was ia.-ea up m
the interests of the community a
whole with the idea thai ii be s.p-
;nitted to the next Legi-latu1o
The matter of storage of oils, use
of open lights on vessels and smoking
on the wharves has had serious con
sideration. in the opinion of many
the storage of oil on the edge of ;hc
waters of the harbor constitutes a Sc
rious menace to the safety of all ship
ping in the harbor and to the wharves.
While the companies interested in the
business show a desire to use all prac-
teal precautions (for their own sake
as well as that of others) and while
they have carried out certain sugges-
tions made as a result of the investl-
cations of our committee, and while
they have some vested rights no doubt
having been given permission to es-
tablish the tanks where they are, the
menace remains and the new officers of
the Chamber may well have the mat
ter before them, to take such action
as may be possible to avert the danger.
Our committee reported due care on
the part of those using open lights
on vessels and did not see that any
further action was necessary. In re-
gard to smoking on the wharves, no
tees have been put up prohibiting 1t
and there is an en&eavor being made
to stop the practice.
Upon invitation to send a represen
tative of the Chamber TO the Lake
Mohonk conference, Mr.. c. Hedemann
was appointed to represent US. He did
so and sent an interesting report OF
the visit. He returns filed with the
idea that those conferences present the
most favorable place for the dissemina
ton of facts and figures in regard to
conditions existing here which could
be found, and thinks that the Terri
tory should be represented at every
meeting by the most capable men
which we have. When the subject
comes up next year if there is any
doubt on the part of the trustees as
to whether a representative should be
sent or not, may / ask them to con
suit with Mr.. Hedemann before de-
Gliding not to send anyone.
