visors had acted favorably upon the
proposition, and he wished the Pro-
motion Committee to endorse that ac-
tion. The committee did so, passing
a resolution to that effect, unanimous
ly.
When asked what his plans were
Mr.. Cohen replied that at present
he contemplated a tour about as fol-
lows: Go direct to san Francisco, then
to Portland, Seattle and Tacoma. then
across the continent on the Great
Northern Route to st. Paul. Mime
apolis and Chicago Then to Buffalo,
Rochester, Albany, New York, Boston
possibly, Coney Island, Atlantic
City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Wash
ington. Pittsburg, Louisville. and then
around to California by way of Texas,
playing Los Angeles and other cities
on the way to San Francisco.
y WANTED PRESS AGENT.
Mr.. Cohen suggested that it would
be worth while for the committee to
all him in selecting and maintaining
a press or advance agent, who would
give as wide publicity to Hawaii as
possible. He thought such a persons
services would be valued at 500 a
week, and asked if the committee
would stand half.
Mr. Spalding, treasurer of the COM

mittee would like TO do what it could
financially, the treasury was not I'm a
condition to bear the additional ex-
pense. Its funds were already tabulat-

months, and it could not possibly un-
dertake other items.
DIR. SPERRY MAY COME.
F. c. Atherton also appeared before
the board TO speak of the possibility
of the coming of DR.. Sperry, the lee
turer, to Hawaii, this spring. He would
be in San Francisco on April 1. II
local people would guarantee his ex-
penses he would be glad to come here
and gather data for a Hawaiian lee
ture to be added his repertoire He
purposed giving three lectures on vari- |
GUS subjects while here. and this would
aid In defraying his expenses.
The committee felt that II could not |
give financial aid, but would give its
moral support, and at any rate hoped |
that DIR. Sperry would come to the is-
lands. DR.. Sperry is a scientist AMI |
explorer, and is the discoverer OF the
Sperry glacier in Colorado.
THEY GOT THE MONEY.
Mr.. Spalding announced that he, with
