to few to do so.
The great interest manifested in the
election OF the board Of directors of

SPANISH WOMEN NOT
FOLLOWERS Of VICE

In consequence of the rumors that
a number of the Spanish women who
came by the Heliopolis had been en-
ticed to houses of prostitution, the
l'oard of immigration has made a
special investigation to get at the
facts. 1t is true that some of the
denizens of the lower world were
hanging about when the ship arriv-
Cd, but so far as can be learned none
of the women went with them.
County police officers have watched
the red-light district carefully and

v omen have not taken up their
abode there.
The statements generally made as
fact seem to have developed from
what the people of the city dives
have tried to do but without success.

and relating tC the Federal Building
site in Honolulu, you say:
II will Immediately appoint a conf
nittee Of three public men in Homo
lula, and if within ten days thereafter
you can demonstrate 70 them that the
proposition can be pu through at any
such figure ($ii,50O), ! shall be salts
lied to take NJ the plan and advan e
It in any way | am able. Provided,
however, you on your part agree to
carry out the other phase of the pro-
lect, !. e., il at the end of ten days you
are unable to convince this committee
OF your ability to carry out the pr0po-
sition, that the owners of the property
will withdraw their offer to the Fed
eraI Government, and thus clear the
way for further action"
Our proposition submitted to you at
your office on April 18th involved only
The opening of Bishop street through
one block TO Merchant street, al a cost
10 the Territory not to exceed $17, 800
Your proposition az contained III your
letter above quoted from throws upon
us the burden Of arranging for the ex-
tension Of the street through two ad-
ditional blocks to Halekauwia street
without additional cost to the Terri
tory
The Honorable Secretary of the
Treasury in his letter Of acceptance to
us OF the Mahuka site written at Wash
lngton on April ID, imposes only this
condition:
THAT YOU shall furnish such evil
aence as the Attorney General may re-
qulre that street sixty feet in width
mas been opened along the entire
southeasterly side of said site from
King street to Merchant street. and
that said new street has been legally
dedicated TO, and accepted by, the City
Of Honolulu as a public street and will
be improved as are other public streets
In said city"
We are prepared to meet this condi-
ton, but your proposal neccssitates a
further extension of Bishop street than
that required by Secretary CortelyoIt.
However, it is our desire to do all in
our power to have the Federal Gov
eminent acquire a building site in Ho-
nOlulu.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
given us sixty days and has intimated
a still further extension i'm which IN
Consummate the deal, but it is not our
desire to avail ourselves of the full per-
iod OF time allotted if we are convinced
that it is impossible to meet the condi-
ton relating to the street extension,
as we believe il to be to the best inter-
csts OF the community to have the
site question definitely settled before
