The above cablegram, which was
sent by Delegate Kalanianaole to
Secretary Cortelyou, has affected a
change in the whole Fed

in spite of the withdrawal thereof
which r. w. Shingle of the Water
house Trust Co. sent to Washington,
thereby living up to the strict letter

The meeting was held at II ociock
this forenoon, having been called at
the request of several members for
the special purpose of considering the
site matter. Nearly everyone pres
ent expressed his opinion, and among
those who spoke only one was in ia
vor of the Opera House site. The
rest all spoke in favor of a central
location, more especially the Bishop
street and the Mahuka sites, the lat
ter being the most generally favored.
There was no lack of criticism of the
attitude of Carter and Atkinson in
the whole affair, the feeling being ex-
pressed that the community had not
been considered by them and that they
had tried to give it the double cross
Smith stated that the meeting had
been called to discuss sites The AS
sociation had no particular site in
mind and no interests to support. The
Association had not favored any of
the sites at present under considera-
tion. AS a matter of fact, all the
available sites had not been exhaust
ed. Others were now being looked
