TO VALIDATE MILITARY
INSTITUTE BONDS

The bill before congress for the
validation of the act of the legislature
of two years ago, which included a
Military Institute, at Roswell, to is
sue bonds for building purposes, has
been favorably reported by the
house committee and passed by that
body, and is now before the senate.
1t will undoubtedly pass unless side
tracked by pressure of business dur
ing the closing days of the congress.

some of the Democrats over this

MISS RODkEY'S CONCERT
A DECIDED SUCCESS

The concert given last night under
the direction of Miss Edith Rodkey
at the Southern NJ. E. Church was
a musical triumph 1t was a benefit
for Miss Rodkey, and the people
showed their appreciation of her
liberal contributions of service to
many social functions as well as her
talent, by completely filling the seat
ing capacity of the church. The en-
tertai1ment was up to the usual high
standard maintained by Miss Rodkey
in her art.
The most notable feature was the
work of the Ladies' Chorus, drilled
were: when the Hues of Daylight
Fade" by Bechtel, part of List the
Chorubic Host, Holy City" by
Gaul, and the "Slumber Song" by
Vincent The members of the chorus
exhibited both talent and training.
Miss Rodkey sang three selections,
Der Asra," by Rubenstein, AT the
Ferry" German, and "The Pretty
Creature by Terrace.
Mesdames Thompson and Hill,
who have delighted so many Roswell
audiences, gave duo for piano, Span
ish Dances Nos. l and g." by Mos
kowski
Miss Eva Nelson, played two vio-
lin selections, Allegro Moderate"
and "Allegretto,' by FIR. Seitz. 1t is
needless to say that this was one of
the best numbers of the evening
Mr.. L. R. Alexander sang Il Know
a Lovely Garden" by D'Hardelot,
song he had once before sung pub
licly in Roswell, and which pleased
as it did before
Mrs Edward Ellis sang "Venezia-
na," an old English song.
The star number of the evening
was List the Cherubic Host" from
Holy City" by Gaul, as sung by
Mr. Alexander, Mrs. Ellis and the La
dies Chorus.

Oil in DR.. Browns Well.

DR.. F. N. Brown today said to a
Record reporter: Il see that consid-
erable excitement is aroused over
the fact that oil has been found in
the George Ady well northwest OF
town. Oil has been flowing into my
well north of town for three years.
The excitement results from the fact
that oil is flowing fron the Trenton
lime stone in Ady's well, more THAI
the mere fact that there is oil.

MAY WITHDRAW
THROUGH SERVICE

The Oceanic s. S. Co. is to lay up
two of its through steamers. The ,.
S. Sonoma is slated TO be laid up as
soon as she reaches San Francisco from
her present trip from the Colonies, and
it is very probable that the Sierra
viii be laid up when she returns to san
Francisco from her present trip to the
Colonies.
No reason for this announcement by
the company is given. 1t is thought IN
some quarters, that it means that the
Colonial service may be suspended in
definitely, pending some favorable ac-
tion by Congress with the ship Subsidy
measure. Certainly there wogld be no
other reason for laying up the S. s.
Sierra. She has just made the run
from San Francisco to this port In five
days IS hours and As minutes, keep
ing schedule time, as formerly. She
is in need of no repairs. The Sono-
ma has had about $4,000 spent on
her in repairs and overhauling at sgd
ney and San Francisco so it seems
hardly likely that she should be laid
up for any overhauling.
No mention is made of the possibility
of laying up the Ventura or the Ala
media If the Sierra and Sonoma We're
laid off, there would hardly be any
occasion to run the Ventura alone,
when she is not able to keep
schedule like the Sierra.

VISITS FROM CHINAMEN.
On the morning of Tuesday, February
5th, before / had arisen from bed, a
Chinaman whose name, I believe is
Chung Soon, and is related to a former
Chinese janitor of the High School,
came to my house in Manoa Valley and
said that he wanted to see me very
much, to inquire, as it was reported to
me by Mrs. Taylor, about informing
about gambling games, that he wanted
to be an informer. And he wanted to
see me to see what I looked like so
that if he had any business with me
at the Police Station he would know
at once who / was. He came into my
bedroom and there stated that he would
like TO know if he could be an informer
or even so on the regular police force
if possible, but | told him that there
was no chance to go on the regular
torce as far as informers We're concern
ed, and if he wanted to inform on any
game he could do SO. He
said that he wanted to know the law.
Then he asked in Hawaiian through
Mrs. Taylor as interpreter if we (mean-
ing the Iaukea administration were go
ing to allow gambling to go on during
the Chinese New Year, say for at least
three days, saying that - had always
been very accommodating to them in

INTEREST IS
GROWING KEEN
Floral Parade Committee Talk
Over Main Features of
the Event.

Everything points to the success of
the second annual Floral Parade, to
be held on Washington IS birthday. At
the meeting of the general commit
tee held yesterday afternoon, every
report was of the most encouraging
nature and many of the details of the
final program and arrangements for
the parade and the inspection at the
baseball park were completed. Nearly
the whole committee was present at
the meeting.
The pau feature of the parade will
be in nearly all respects superior to
that of last year, both in the numbers
of those in line and in the special
features to be introduced For one
thing, there will be systematic group
ing of the different colored pa-us this
year, which will add appreciably to
the beauty of this part of the fiesta.
The pau riders representing the 9TH
er islands, who will be accompanied
each by costumed escort and attend
ant pages, will also. be, something which
the parade of last year lacked. 1t
is now promised that every island in
the group viii have fair representa-
tive in the parade and genuine rival
ry has been created, each island promis-
ing to have fairer rider and more
elaborate retinue than all the others.
Altogether there will be nearly seventy
riders in the pau parade, Frank An
drade, who has that part of the pro-
gram in hand, reporting that horses
for nearly that many have already been
promised, while of riders there is no
lack.
Things are looking up, too, in the
automobile department, many owners
promising to have their machines in
line, although possibly the decorations
throughout are not going to be so
elaborate as were those of tie first
parade. That is all the way along
the line, auto owners being asked to
have their machines out no matter
how simple the decorations. There are
going to be some very elaborate and
unique turnouts though, some promis-
ing to Guido anything that has hither-
to been attempted.
Money to the required amount will
be forthcoming, the committee report
ing very favorably as to the subscrip-
tion list. The fact that the committee
know exactly what they want and are
limiting themselves to the amount ab-
necessary seems to be appre-
ciated by those who are depended up
on to contribute.
The arrangements for the sale of
tickets for the boxes and reserved seats
at the baseball park will be completed
within day or two and the plan of
the grandstand will be ready for ticket
buyers to go over. It is probable
that there will be a rush for these
tickets as soon as the plan is out.
A Roosevelt prize will be given for
he best family group in the parade, a
to this effect being heartily
of by the committeeman.
