that it might be well to send all pos
sible on the Ventura and let the rest
follow later. but that committees must
be appointed to save confusion. Mr..
Dillingham; approved the plan
The chair wanted a committee of
four and 10 have the town laid out ia
districts. Trent suggested a committee
of TWO TO call upon the banks and the
agents for the sugar companies: an
other committee TO call upon the mer-
chants and 10 visit the small dealers.
There is lot of money here waiting
10 be sent away for this cause. but the
people did not know where to send if or
who TO pay it over TO. One good lady
called upon him today and left fifty
dollars for the sufferers because she
had no knowledge where it should be
paid
There was some discussion ON this
point. but it ended by the passing of a
motion 10 the effect that the commit
tee OF the Merchants Association be
asked to withdraw. Mr.. Gait said it
did not make any difference to this
committee how the money was collect
ed or how it was sent: what was
wanted was money. The motion to
appoint committees to solicit from
banks and business houses carried. Mr..
Gait said that as each party was called
upon, the Rapid Transit plan might be
suggested and Mr.. Dillingham; said 1t
should be more than a suggestion.
Mr.. McCandless said Executive Sec
rotary Wood should be asked to pre-
pare letter which, he thought, the
Advertiser would be glad to publish,
calling attention to the action of the
men employed by the Rapid Transit
Co This was put as a motion and
carried and the following committees
appointed:
District No. /, makai side OF King
street and on the west side of Fort
street, to the river: Messrs. Gait.
Hughes and Shiozawa.

Valentin, r. H. Trent and w. HI.
Harris
District No. T. west side of Fort

The chair expressed the opinion that
the committees would have to get to
work and put in good TIME for the
next day or two. Mr.. Single. who had
been at the telephone for several min
ltes, returned to the table and stated
that he had been informed by Mr.. Ten
ney over the phone that Castle IL
cooke would donate the sum of one
thousand dollars and set the pace.
This was applauded and Mr.. Gait
asked If the committee was to collect
money from the people willing to give
IT merely take subscriptions. The chair
'eplied, Cash down." and Bishop
-ibert added that money in hand was
better than promise. Collect as you
20 and save the bother of going around
second time. There was a short dis
ussion relative to the fraternaI or
,anizations and Mr.. Shingle presented
he following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted
Whereas, This committee is de-
sirous of notifying the San Fran
cisco sufferers that a substantial
sum has been raised for their re-
lief therefore, be it
Resolved, That the fraternaI
orders of the city of Honolulu hav-
ing appropriated, or who may ap-
propriate, sums of money for the
relief of the San Francisco suffer

funds to the Executive Committee,
appointed by Acting Governor At
kinson, with the understanding that
the same will be reappropriated in
any manner and among such per-
sons in San Francisco as they may
desire"
The mover said there were $4,000 on
he list appropriated by fraternaI or
and it would be well if this
mount could be made a part of the
aneral donation under the conditions
