The report OF Park Expert Charles

pervisors of Oahu county, and its pub
Iieation, were the chief topics of inter
est about town yesterday. 1t was felt,
on all hands, that Mr.. Robinson had
done well the work that he had been
brought here TO do, and that mis- recon-
mendations generally were in line with
the best thought OF the local people IN
the matter Of city Improvement The
individuality OF Honolulu must be pre-
served, and its development must come

ADAMS LIKES REPORT.

ADAMS lxlhES hESOhI.
E. r. Adams. supervisor at large,
being asked for his views on Mr.. Rob
inson's report. said:
s'I Like the way he has pieced things
together. Mr.. Robinson has crystal
lized the whole matter in a method
that is tangible. There were so many
different ideas entertained by resi-
dents on the subject. it is satisfactory
TO have something definite on which
we can work,
The report 1 regard as well worth
the $500 expended TO bring Mr.. Rob-
i.sson here. His idea of not changing
things so as 20 destroy Honolulu as
a tropical city is the wisest advice
we could have.
There are lot of things he has pro-
posed which can be carried out in a
very short time and without great ex-
pense- For instance, his proposal to
have seats at the Pail for resting, the
extension of that white road up into
Manoa valley and that road around
Punchbowl into Pauoa You could then
see every valley here in one continu
Gus drive.
Mr.. Robinson is much pleased with
the local interest in his visit. When
something was proposed everybody
seemed to get busy. He said he never
knew a place where SO many people
took an interest in beautifying the
place. also that there was scarcely a
proposition in his scheme for which
some resident was not responsible
DOESN'T SMASH THINGS.
Jas. Gordon Spencer, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, was asked
about Mr.. Robinson's report and re-
piled:
'T have not read it yet beyond the
summary heading it in the Advertiser.
but intend reading it at home tonight.
From what have seen, I think Mr..
Robinson is sound. I do not believe
in propositions for smashing things
up. Mr. Robinson's general ideas as
summarized appear to be sensible and
practicable

BRILLIANT FUTURE.
Bishop Chartzel Predicts Great Things
for Dark Continent.

Chicago. May 9.-Bishop ChartZel.
who is stationed in Africa, yesterday
predicted a brilliant future for that
continent. Speaking at the Alumni
reunion during the commencement ex-
ercises of the Garrett Biblical Insti-
tute in the First Methodist church,
Evanston. he prophesied that Africa
will some day be the great center Of
white civilization.
Fifty years" he declared, will see
Africa the great center of white civili-
cation. 1t was with a purpose in view
that it has been shut up from the out
side world and in that respect it may
be compared to Japan. 1t now has be-
gun to be opened but it would have
been better that it's doors should have
remained closed forever to the whites.
If 1t is to receive only the harmful in
fuenceS of the other continents
"Mohammedism is making more
converts in the Dark Continent than
Christianity and it is there that the
last battle will be fought between the
Cross and the Crescent. We Christians
must do more than pray for the saliva

NIAGARA REPORT.
Protest Against IFS Adop-
ton to Be Renewed.
Would Be SacriIege to Destroy
Scenic Effect Of Falls.
Says President J. Horace Mcfarland Of
American Civic Association.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 81. Horace
Mcfarland of this city. president of the
American Civic Association, which or
ganization has led the effort for the
| preservation of Niagara falls. made Il
statement Wednesday regarding the re-
port of the International Waterways
Commission transmitted to Congress on
| Monday by President Roosevelt. He
said:
This report merely reiterates the
recommendations of the American Sec
ton of the waterways commission as
transmitted to Congress, March q.
against which We protested to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. April 4. The report rec
| ommends that authorization Of a total
diversion of Niagara water of 81 800 per
cent. OF the minimum flow of the falls
and would, in the opinion of all but the
power companies and the Waterways
Commission successfully retain the
great cataract as scenic feature.
After careful study and after con-
sultatiOn with Mr.. Roosevelt this report
was disregarded by Mr.. Burton. chair
| man of the rivers and harbOrs commit
| tee Of the House of Representatives,
who framed the Niagara preservation
act now known as the BurtOn-Lodge
bill. This bill stops the Niagara de-
struction at the present point and by
prohibiting the importation of Maya
ra-made electric power from Canada
would restrain Canadian diversion 1t
would be operative for three years only,
giving time for diplomatic action with
out permitting the destruction of Mag
ara to continue meanwhile.
THE report Of the International Wat
erWayS Commission is hard to under
stand if the commissioners believe
what they assert, that it would be a
sacrilege to destroy the scenic effect of
Niagara Falls. Saying this. they yet
propose to bleed 40 per cent from the
falls giving full vitality to all exist
ing franchises except one and that one
an American franchise.
I'VE will renew our protest to Presi-
dent Roosevelt at once against this
vicious report. so favorable to the Mag
ara grabbers and so dangerous to the
falls"
Mr.. Mcfarland stated that letters in
his possesSon assured congressional
support to the Burton-Lodge bill.

They Were Hypothetical.

good enough to ask a question that is
pertinent, win answer it." Thus VII
liam Nelson Cromwell counsel for the
Panama Railroad. and in that capacity.
an official of the United States, defied
Senator Morgan in his quest for infor-
nation as to the meaning of a letter
written by Cromwell to Secretary Hay
concerning the original concession to
the Panama Canal Co. After declaring
that questions relating to that transac-
ton were not germane to the present
inquiry Of the Senate committee on in
ter-Oceanic canals, Mr.. Cromwell met
a rapid fire Of questions with prompt
refusal to answer.
Mr.. Morgan then turned to inquiries
regarding the services OF Cromwell 10

resent him. but that in order to become
a bonafide director he had purchased
IA shares Of stock. Mr.. Cromwell freely
answered questions about bond issues
and sales. but his recollection on the
subject was limited.
Mr.. Cromwell testified that there
we're no laws by which the board of di-
rcctors of the railroad company could
be removed by the government. The
executive committee Of the board is
elec,cd by the board and cannot be ter
minated by any other body, said Mr..
Cromwell He had before testified that
Mr.. Farhham. a clerk in his office, was
also a director of the railroad.
