NO MONEY
FOR HACKERS
tFrom Saturdays AdvertIser.)

rea no aid would be needed was re-
ceived with joy by the angels not be-
cause there was much hope of their
getting back any of the gold they had
advanced but because 1t would have
reduced the amount of their respons-
ibiity in the matter of back salary to
the men.
But when they read that the Gov
ernor would have his tooters, who, by
the way, are employees of the county
and not the Territory, here for display
on Thanksgiving Day they felt that the
day was a colder one than any ex-
perienced by the duck covered band
boys in Colorado mining town" said
n merchant. THE Governor spoilt
what would otherwise have been a
restful night. Now they must figure
out the defense they must put up in
the event of their liability under the
law of copartnership being decided by
the court for It seems improbable that
the boys will allow the opportunity to
pass.
IF any one could read the thoughts
of James Morgan, one OF the musical
angels, when he was cabling ne would
probably have learned that it would
have been his wish that the boys re-
main in San Francisco which is under
certain obligations to the Hawaiians
for the generosity shown in the time
of trouble. Not because he would give
San Francisco an opportunity to reci-
procate but because 1t would in all
probability save Mr.. Morgan and his
colleagues some anguish-and dollars.
1t would have been the means of re-
lieving portion of the distress of the
band boys for they would have had
enough out of the last stand to pur-
chase tobacco and other little delica-
cies which they have been without, ac-
cording to advices, for weeks and
weeks"
"The appearance of the band with
Berger at the head of the procession
on Thanksgiving Day will certainly
have something Of the flavor of opera
bouffe and each thawed-out fiuter VIII
have an opportunity during the beats
between the bars to compare the warm,
home treatment with that of the frozen
States where for days and days icicies
formed the piece de resistance of the
meal. But one thing more Is needed
and that is Joe Cohen. He is needed
to show the public what thrift and
enterprise will not do for man. Some
one has remarked that Joe will never
come back to Hawaii but those who
know him best say that within twenty
four hours after the band returns. Joe
will be on the corner telling what he
could have done IL he had not been IN
terfered with"
The report of the meeting OF the
Chamber of Commerce the other day
was lacking in one particular: that re-
ferring to the remarks made by l.. Ten
ney Peck relative to the responsibility
of the Chamber in the returning of the
band What he said was that as an
organization the Chamber had nothing
in common with the return OF the mu-
sicians and he moved that 1t be drop
ped by them and taken up individually
by the members. That motion was car
ried with but one dissenting voice and
to show that the members were In SYM
pathy with the motion no better evil
dence is needed than the subscription
list published below. Among the heav-
lest donors will be found the names OF
members OF the Chamber of Commerce
Mr.. Peck holding office in two OF the
corporations. The s2414.00 raised by
Messrs. Gait and Macfarlane Is ample
to bring the boys home and give them
n trihe for luxuries. 1t will be noticed
that the list herewith does not include
the $3.50 that has been at the head OF
the Bulletin column for several days.
Referring to the return of the strand
ed PLAYERS a former Snowman in Ho-
nolulu remarked yesterday: III
had known Honolulu was SO easy
would have started out with minstrei
show long ago. 1t would nave peen
easy money but this band business has
spoiled my chance"
