night at the annual banquet OF the
Illinois Manufacturers Association.
Mr.. Fowler spoke on The Financial
Situation" He said in part:
Let us settle once for all that the
only proper reserve for our banks to
hold is gold coin; and that we are
most unfortunate in having TO carry
S346, O0O, 900 of United States notes
and $500, 000, 900 Of silver, maintaining
them upon a parity with gold and
thereby justifying as best we can their
use as reserve. Let us not forget that
both ana our silver and United States
notes are serious stumbling blocks,
though not insurmountable obstacles
to our becoming the financial center
of the world. provided they may be
practically eliminated In time from
our financial calculations.
"A great central bank is, In my opin'
ion, a political impossibility at pres
-ent. do not regard a great central
bank as essential to a scientific,
sound and wise banking and currenc,
system for the United States, provided
we can unity and coordinate our bank
ing interests, bring them substantially
into one system which will secure
universal cooperation and the
strength Of combination of our entire
banking capital, and, even with a GEN.
trail bank the same coordination must
be effected.
"Our reserve must be all OF the
same character; gold or Its equivalent.
because gold Is our standard Of value

institutions must be adequate to prove

LARGE INCREASE
IN THE SCHOOLS

Reports continue to come in of in
creased attendance at the public
schools of Honolulu, and of difficulty
in providing for all the pupils apply
ing for admittanee.
Yesterday Prof. Scott of the High
school reported fifteen pupils who had
passed the examination for entrance
TO the freshman class of the High
school for whom there was absolutely
no accommodations.
Superintendent Babbitt transferred
the pupils of the low seventh grade of
the Central Grammar school to the
Pohukaina schoc! and thus made room
for the fifteen freshmen.
At the Central Grammar school
there is an increased attendance of
11S new pupils this year over last.
Moiliili school closed last year with
113 pupils, and opened this year with
191.

THE MONEY POSITION.
(Communicated.)

The Journey of Treasurer Campbell
to secure approval by the President of
the $2S0,000 loan authorized by the
last legislature would tend to confirm
the statement by Mr.. Reidford in Sun
days Advertiser that the dulness of
real estate business in Honolulu is
due to there being no money in the
city.
AS matter of fact the opposite is
the case and the fnanciers abroad will
be apt to look askance upon the repre-
sentative of a government seeking a
loan Of a paltry sum like that named.
Dividends are being paid by some of
the corporations monthly and in most
diately seek investments.
Possibly the idea of a scarcity of
money in the city emanates from the
policy adopted by the banks not to
make loans on real estate. A dozen
years ago, and less, this character of
security was looked upon as double
gilt-edge but it has decreased in value
as a means for individuals to raise
money through Overproduction on one
hand and the exodus of mechanics, the
true middle class, on the other.
A number of years ago there arrived
here two expert real estate men who
Immediately began to develop outside
property and in-town-rent-payers soon
blossomed as living in their own homes.
In many instances their Gown homes"
were blanketed and the banks were
mortgage-laden to the guards. The
success of the pioneer real estate boom
ers encouraged others and more out
of town sections of real estate were
exploited, homes were built, mortgaged
and in many instances sold under fore
closure. The banks still hold mort
cages on some of this real estate, but
so deprecated is it in value that to
offer it at public auction would only
involve a greater loss. There is no
demand for real estate because the mid
die class men who would buy homes
are not here nor will they come until
there is an enterprise begun that will
create greater demand for that class
of labor and less for the Asiatics who
are, since the ranks of the white
mechanics are depleted, asking higher
wages than ever. The banks have the
money, possibly greater reserves than
the law of banking, or the land, war
rants their keeping, but banks have
gone out of the real estate business
to remain until there is a demand for
property and its value as security for
loans is restored to the position it oc-

FORGOTTEN IN JAIL
FOR EIGHT MONTHS

The Territorial Grand Jury held a
short session yesterday afternoon in
the Throne Room of the Capitol. The
session was called principally to con-
slider the case of Francisco Castro, a
Porto Rican, who has been eight
months in jail on a mittimus from the
police court holding him to await the
action of the Grand Jury. He was
arrested on complaint of Harry Moss
man who charged him with having
assaulted woman with a weapon
obviously and imminently dangerous
to life
The Grand Jury after hearing the
testimony refused to indict him and
orders were given to the High Sheriff
to release him at once. Nobody seems
to know why his case has never been
brought before the Grand Jury be-
fore. County Attorney Cathcart says
this Is the first term of court at which
ne has had charge of the Grand Jury
Investigations, and that he heard OF
the case for the first time just now.
and as soon as he heard of It he
brought it before the Grand Jury.

which he could be made to supply her
with money while he was away. The
arrests followed.

like good advice to Herey and he pro-

he ran right into the man he was

for damages in the sum of $4,000,
claiming that instead of putting back
to port with him when he was in

voyage, the delay necessitating the
amputation of his arm. He is repre-
