WOOD ALREADY
SCORES POINT
Secures Place on Committee
of Trans-MisSissippi
Congress.

The regular weekly meeting of the
Hawaiian Promotion committee was
held Yesterday afternoon, but few mat
| tiers OF importance came before the
body. The chief question that was
discussed was in relation to the ar
engagements which should be made for
the work of Secretary H. p Wood,
which must be kept up while he is
away on the trip to washington in be-
half of the Pearl Harbor appropria
tion.
While there were many plans suggest
| ed it was decided to leave the mat
ter's final decision till special meet
| ing which will be held Wednesday
morning at 11:30. In all probability
plans will be made by which the mem
5ers of the committee will visit the
rooms daily, each taking certain hours
in the morning or afternoon.
The matter of the floral parade was
| discussed but no definite plans were
made in this connection. The action
on the proposed use of the old Fish
market building in connection with the
Mckinley Memorial was also laid over
for the special meeting, that full
session of the committee might give its
views.
| In connection with his coming trip
| to Washington, Secretary Wood stated
| that he had cabled to friend, who
is a member of the executive commit
tee of the Trans Mississippi Confer
| ence. asking that his name be placed
| on the Congressional committee of that
body, which win be appointed by the
/ Conference and will present its resolu-
tions to Congress and forward them
| with all the means at their disposal.
| He also said that he had received an
answer stating that the arrangements
requested had been made. In this way
he will be in az position to command
more influence with Congress than
| otherwise
