| The executive committee of the Oahu
general committee was to have met at
| the rooms of the Promotion Committee
last night for the purpose of arrang-
| ing plans for the reception of the
| members of Congress but other en-
gagements prevented all from being
on hand. There were present Chair
man @. w. Smith, J. r. Gait, J. A. Me-
Candless and H. P. Wood.
Chairman Smith said the business to
! be done was to appoint subcommittee
! to look after transportation, entertain
ment, reception, etc.
Secretary Atkinson said he would
place the matter of looking after the
baggage in the hands of Mr.. Hartman
of the Union Express Co. Locating
the executive committee. Already citi-
zens had expressed desire to enter
tain certain members of the party but
not more than a half dozen.
Relative to the reception, Secretary
Atkinson suggested a plan somewhat
on that when the Taft party was here.
Then the quintet club, dressed in white
and decorated with red leis, went out
in a boat and this attracted much at
tention from the visitors.
Chairman Smith wanted the Terri
torial committee to act as a reception
committee because it is Territorial
matter and the guests are members of
the National Congress.
Mr.. Gait said that the reception
should be in the hands of the Terrific
rial committee. The members could go
out on the Iroquois and greet the visi-
tors but when it comes to flowers and
music the expense must be borne by
Oahu. There must be nothing done
tbat will cause any comment from the
other islands. The reception branch Of
the oahu committee should be a part
of the gathering to meet the guests
at the side of the vessel.
Chairman Smith said the entertain
man+ committee will be the one tnat
will come in contact with the visitors
He wanted to see Judge Dole one OF
that number and he wanted a large
committee

\ MILLION DOLLAR STOCK DIVIDEND
Enormous Reserve of
c. Brewer & Co.
Divided.

"A million dollar melon was cut by
the directors OF C. Brewer & Co., Ltd,
at a meeting yesterday morning. The
slices go to the shareholders in the
corporation as a stock dividend on July
and manager, gave an Advertiser re-
porter details of the transaction as
follows after the meeting:
1--WE have had reserve fund of one
million dollars for several years past,
and we concluded to issue 10000 shares
of paid-up stock, thus putting that re-
!. serve fund into capital stock.
THAT will make our capital $1,000
600 instead of s1.OOO.oo0 and a reserve
fund. It amounts to a stock dividend.
1.-THE authorization of increase is TO
go into effect on the 1st of July. when
the new shares will be issued.
"The new shares will be issued pro
rata to stockholders of record on June
80.
stOur assets are in the neighborhood
of 5000, 900. Besides that reserve fund
there is a credit to profit and loss ac-
count of undivided profits amounting
to about ss00,oO0.''
This doubling of capital by c. Bre-
wer & Co. was announced as forth
coming in this paper a week ago. The
stock was then quoted on change at
s75 last sale and 800 asked, the par
value being 500 share.
The corporation giving the striking
evidence of wealth here reported is now
in its s1st year as a, business house
and is "a years old as a body corpor-
ate. On october 80, 1901, it celebrated
its diamond jubilee and the following
day the Advertiser gave a history OF
the concern from the mouth of Peter
Cushman Jones, the oldest surviving
partner, then counting forty-four years
of connection with the house and thfr-
ty years of share in its proprietorshfp.
From the account by Mr.. Jones the fol-
lowing pedigree of the establishm mt
is republished:
James Hunnewell, founder, 1926 to
1880; Henry A. Pierce. 1880 to 1884;
Pierce & Hinckley, 1884 to 1885; Pierce
& Brewer, 1885 to 1913; c. Brewer &
Co. 1913 to lS47; S. H, Williams & Co.,
1S47 to 1850; B. F. Snow, 1850 to 1856;
Chas. Brewer End, 1856 to 1853: c.
Brewer & Co, 1859 to 1888; c. Brewer
& Co.. Limited, 1883 and since.
Mr.. Jones told of his passing the
store on his arrival here, October 2,
1857. when the late H. A. P. Carter. the
Governors father, then a clerk in the
store, was sanding at the door. AS
the future president of the corpora
tion went by, Carter, who was destined
TO precede him in that office, made the
remark: Young fellow come from
Boston: we had better make up a
purse of $4,000 and send him right
home again"
The great prosperity Of c. Brewer
& Co., Ltd, is due to an able lne OIL
succession in its business direction
whereby it has satisfactorily engaged
in mercantile, shipping and sugar plan
4ation agency business. Its present
wealth largely consists in its controi
of some of the most profitable sugar
estates in the islands.
The present officers are c. NJ. COOKE
president; George NJ. Robertson, vice
president and manager: E. F. Bishop.
treasurer and Secretary: z. W. Mac
far1ane. auditor; P. C. Jones. c. Nj.

Put Them to Flight.

Three rowdies from neighboring city
found Herman Bisbing, of Riverside. troll
ley dispatcher and Republican candidate
for coroner, one of the stifrest propositions
they ever ran up against when it comes to
using the fists.
These three men, having missed the last
eastbound trolley, asked Bisbing, who
was on duty at the Office, if they could
sleep all night in car at the barn, so they
could catch the first car going towards
Beverly in the morning. Although 1t is
against the rules of the Company, Bisbing
managed to stretch point and allowed
them to do so, rather than have them
walk the streets on such cold night
Early In the morning they began drink
ing freely from whiskey bottles they had
hidden in their overcoat pockets. 1t was moi
long before they thought the whole trolley
company belonged to them and they
could fight like Jim Jeffries.
When Watchman Hart, an old man.
tried to persuade them to stop their noise
and not to throw empty bottles through
the car window or attempt general de
struction of the cars, they soon put him tt
flight with couple of blows. and in
formed him to tell the clerk to come ou
and take like dose.
1t was only matter of few seconds
before Bisbing was right on the job, will
his temper up to boiling point, as he wa
held responsible for their actions. TIL,
three came after him. He soon had hi
fists working overtime and couple o
blows on each Of the young men soon pu
them to flight and gave them start on
three-mile run home.
Constable Borton, being informed of tn
commotion, arrived on the scene an,
wanted Bisbing to swear out wal
rant for their arrest, but the latter though
a good dose of fists had done them NOR
good than all the warrants in creation
} and the warrants were not forthcoming.

Legitimate Mining.

Twenty men, without investigation,
on the verbal representation of stranger,
will invest In an undeveloped and conse-
quently unknown mining prospect and
lose. One man will exercise ordinary bus
mess precaution, invest In a meritor-
ious proposition and win. In this way
there are twenty-five men condemning the
whole business and one supporting it.
The prejudice to mining and mining in
vestments is invariably due to ignorance
and lack of precaution.
Legitimate mining pays better than any
other business. 1t Is safer than any other
business. 1t gives the largest returns for
the least money invested. According to
the reports of the two large mercantile
agencies the average profits in mining are
300 per cent, with IS per cent failures,
while manufacturing ranges from 10 to %
per cent profit, with over rs per cent fall
ures.
The National Banker" says "the divi
dends paid by gold and silver mines are
greater than the dividends paid by all the
banks of the country"
There is mining company, controlled
in Mount Holly, that is offering stock fol
sale. 1t is the Real Alto Mining Company
The five mines owned by the company are
not prospects or unknown quantities
Paying ore in vast quantities has been I'm
covered. The ore already in sight will
net more than the entire par capitalization
of the company Zone million dollars).

some minor machinery. The money t.
Install this plant must be raised by tn
sale of stock with small MILL" say
the engineer at the mines, ''Your propertie
will not only be self-supporting, but vii
nav handsome dividends"
Henry II. Cross, a Mount Holly mar
has charge OF the Real-Alto mines as man
ager 1t is upon his recommendation an
knowledge of the mines that his relative
and friends are investing in the company
Unlike most mining propositions thes
mines were thoroughly examined and larR
bodies of ore discovered before a share {
stock was offered to the public. 1t ws
only after a careful, personal inspectio
had been made by Mr. Cross and his asst
tant, 81. w. Young, that Mr.. Cross recon
mended 1t as a fine Investment.
The stock is selling at % cents per shal

counsel and Prosecutor Atkinson were not
in attendance, further consideration of
the case was postponed until tomorrow
With desire to join his wife and fam
lily, an effort is being made by George R.
Reed to secure his release from the coun-
tY jail, either by speedy retrial or the
giving of satisfactory bail In the latter
direction efforts are being made with a
surety company of Newark. Reed was
tried for shooting Thomas j. Barrett, of
Roebling, and the jury failed to agree af-
ter being out 81 hours. Reed sent letter
to Judge Horner. in response to which the
prisoner was brought into court. He said
he had some new evidence which he be-
lieved to be of sufficient importance to
secure his freedom. The Judge said he
would confer with Prosecutor Atkinson,
who was no doubt anxious for speedy
settlement of the case. The latter will
communicate with Louis F. Beers, of
Newark, counsel for Reed.

Katxenbach,s Trip.

& Frank 8. Katzenbach, Democratic can
didate for Governor, paid flying visit to
Burlington county. on Friday. He started
from Bordentown, thence to Columbus
and con to Smithville." At each of these
places he met the people who turned out
to greet him, but he did not make any
extended remarks until he reached Mount
Holly.
| Three o'clock was the hour set for his
appearance here, but it was half hour
later when the advance bugler came into
town In an automobile and to the strains
OF I'VE won't go home till morning" an
nounced that the candidate was ON the
road. But even then there was delay and
| 1t was several minutes later that Mr.. Kat
zenbach walked into the court room. He
found 1t well filed. There was large
audience there to greet him. but three
fourths of those present were Republicans.
Without delay ex-Judge Wills an
nounced that the reason for the late ap-
pearance of the party was the mishap to
one of the automobiles on the road be-
tween Columbus and Smithville. He in
troduced Hon. Frank 8. Katzenbach, and
the latter at once took as his cue the
breakdown of the automobile.
He said he did not care much for such
machines, In fact he did not favor ma
chimes of any sort and one to which he
was decidedly opposed was the voting
machine, which, like the automobile. gen.
orally broke down just when 1t was most
needed, and the Democratic party was
pledged to do away with the voting ma
chimes.
He said he had seen much of Burlington
county and was well pleased with It, He
had not been so fortunate as to be born
within its limits, but he had taken himself
a wife therefrom and he had never regret
ted 1t. Time would not permit his talk
ing very long, but he felt that he ought to
calliattention to the fact that there seems
to be as much need Of change In admin
istration of state affairs today as when
the Republicans came into power twelve
years ago. Telling how expense of gov
eminent had increased Mr.. Katzenbach
called attention to the number of state
officials who draw large salaries, but who
do not attend to their offices but few
days in each week. After charging on
this point he turned his attention to the |
matter of taxation. The Democrats, he |
said, had agitated the subject of equal
taxation to such an extent that the Rep |
public ans were forced to take some notice |
of the subject. So they enacted law
creating the Board of Taxation. These
bodies he denounced as utterly useless and
and worthless and said they were merely |
put up by the Republicans as "satisfers"
Or ''paciflers."
Then Mr.. Katzenbach was suddenly re-
minded that 'he was due at another
town about ten miles distant In a very
short time, :" and as he did not wish to haYe
The law respecting fast running of auto
mobiles violated he thought he had better
cave. He thanked the people for listen
ng to him and without waiting to shake
hands with the few Democrats who were
present he left the room.
