PHELAN WANTS THE FUND.
After all that has been said about
the San Francisco relief fund, or the
balance of $4,000. being used toward
getting the band back here, all argu-
ments have come to a dead stop by
cablegram received from James D.
Phelan in response to the cable in
quiry of the Chamber of Commerce as
follows:
San Francisco, November IL
Chamber of Commerce, Honolulu, TIL.
Have written to Morgan, Honolulu.
Committee has planned use of all out
standing funds for benefit of sufferers
of disaster VIII gratefully receive your
balance. If you desire specific use Of
part, advise US.

Another cablegram relative to the
band was also received from J. F. Nor
gan as follows.
San Francisco. $50 D. m.
L. Tenney Peck, Honolulu.
The Relief Committee has cabled to
the Chamber of Commerce 1 am get

Mr.. Peck wrote Mr.. Morgan by the
America Maru as follows:
Honolulu, November u, 1906
James F. Morgan, san Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sir: 1 wired you today as fol-
lows: Ascertain band situation. Do
committees favor our using RELIEF
money to return band"
L also sent the following dispatch to
James D. Phelan on Saturday last:
Does committee require further out
side assistance in relieving distress?
Answer fully"
The public feeling is strong for hav-
ing the Relief Committee divert por-
ton of the money for the purpose of
bringing back the stranded Hawaiian
Band. The Chamber of Commerce and
the Merchants Associa ton seem to en-
dorse that position.
The Relief Committee however re-
CARDS itself strictly as a trustee for the
llff Nv fire nd or-th Ia in a n
Francisco. Every subscription paper
bore a caption to that effect. However.
it is very important that the financial
and physical situation of the band be
ascertained and the Relief Committee
Of San Francisco should signify at least
what their attitude would be should
any of this relief money be diverted.
Personally l am in favor of a new
and an immediate one to
bring back the band if it is found
necessary. I am also in favor of hav-
ng the War Department furnish trans
oorta ton to the band on one of its
The band is an integral
part of the First Regiment of the Ma
ional Guard which is subject to call
