prove highly attractive. The only pos

PLANNING FOR
SEATTLE FAIR
Hawaii Committees Named to
Prepare and Look After
Exhibits.

At recent meeting of the Alaska
Yukon Pacific Exposition Commission
for Hawaii matters were considered in
anticipation of the early arrival of Lloyd
Childs Of Los Angeles, who is to act
as Hawaii s representative at the expo
sitlon. The commission is progressing
very favorably with its plans and it
is satisfied with the outlook. The
president has appointed the following
committees:
Art and Photography. X. Hitch
cock, r. K. BONNIE and Roscoe Perkins.
who are now at work arranging for a
selection of pictures of the Islands.
Sisal-Wm. Weinrieh and w. c.
Weldon, who promise a thoroughly rep
resentative exhibit.
Pineapples--W b. Thomas, James ID.
Dole and Mr.. White Of Haiku.
Tobaeco-Jared G. Smith, who feels
sure that a very presentable exhibit
can be made by next year.
Rubber-F. T. p. Waterhouse and w.
Williamson.
Coffee = George Rodiek" and Abe
Louisson.
Riee-Mr. Krauss of the Experiment
Station.
Fresh Fruits and vegetables-Gerrit
P. Wilder.
Honey-A. F. Judd and d. L. Van
Dine.
Superintendent Potter of the
Aquarium.
All plans now in the making are ten
tative and will be subject to revision
by Mr.. Childs, who is expected here
shortly. He is now East in conference
with Assistant Secretary of the Ints-
rior Wilson.
A report was current that a Federal
appointee would fill the position as Ha
wall IS representative, someone other
than Mr. Childs. but this report is de-
MED from Washington, letter to that
effect having been recently received.
Mr.. Childs hoped to arrange with the
Interior Department for the sale of
Hawaiian art features and other pro-
auctions directly at the Hawaii build
ing. For this he had secured the per-
mission of the proper authorities, pro-
vided that Washington agreed.
An effort will be made to make the
pineapple exhibit one that will attract
general attention throughout the
States As to who Mr.. Childs is, the
Los Angeles Times says of him:
Lloyd Childs, for several years as
sociated with Secretary Virgins of the
Chamber of Commerce, in the manage
ment of exhibits and general publicity
work, has been appointed special agent
of Hawaii at the Alaska Yukon Pacific
Exposition at Seattle, next summer.
For the past two years Childs has been
located in Los Angeles, and has been
a consistent booster for this section.
He has given daily lectures in Assem-.
bly, Hall on the Hawaiian Islands, and
is thoroughly acquainted with eOndi-
tons there. He will leave on the first
steamer for Honolulu, to get his in
structions and to begin preparing spe-
cial exhibit.
"The Territory Of Hawaii win have
a building at the Seattle exposition,
and it is expected that it win be one
of the most attractive places on the
grounds.
''Childs formerly lived in San Jose,
and went to the st. Louis Exposition
as special representative of Santa
Clara county. He was also at the
Portland Exposition, and Secretary
regards him as very ener-
petic man in his line of work"

MARINE:

The endeavor of the newspapers of
this city TO secure permits for their
waterfront reporters to go upon the
naval or other docks in anticipation of
the arrival of warships, or, at least
army ran-ports, has been met with
negative reply from Captain Rees, COM
mandant of the naval station. After
the arrival of the Pacific feet, when the
reporters failed to obtain permission
to 90 early upon the Territorial dock
where the flagship West Virginia was
being mOored, the suggestion reached
the Advertiser Office that a talk over
the situation with the naval authori-
ties might bring about the desired per-
mlts for all the newspaper men. After
consideration Of the matter. however,
Captain Rees yesterday announced that
in view OF the regulations ne could not
see his way clear to do so. In addition
to this, no one viii be given special
permission at any time or upon any oc-
caslon 10 60 upon the wharves in ad-
vance OF the general crowd that NAV be
waiting to pass the sentries.
Attention of the newspapers has been
called TO regulation which says that
while any government vessel is docking
the wharves shall be cleared of all per-
sons except those having direct business
with the docking OF the vessel.
Even IN the case of army transports
the rule viii be exactly the same.

Cruiser Puglia.

No information mas been received by
the Italian Consul, Mr.. F. A. Schaefer.
as to the movements of the Italian
cruiser Plglia. The vessel came up
from the South American coast to San
Francisco, and after visit there, went
up north to Victoria, Seattle and Port
land. The earlier itinerary of the
cruise included Honolulu and the ORR
ent. 1t is likely that the Puglia is
to return to San Francisco and then
steam for Honolulu. She has been here
before.
The Victoria Colonist of August Z
states that the Pngia was expected
there but it was uncertain whether she
would 60 to Victoria or Vancouver first,
and then proceed to Esquimalt before
going to Seattle. The Colonist states
that the vessel would leave Seattle for
Japan and from there go to China and
Australia from where she viii return
home via the Suez canal after a world
cruise.
The Puglia is a fourth-elass cruiser
of 1858 tons displacement and her COM
plement of men is 274. Her length at
the water line is 273 feet, her beam
forty feet, and she has a maximum
draft of sixteen and one-fourth feet.
The Puglia carries two six-inch guns,
eight four, and seven six-inch guns,
eight six-pounders and eight one
Founders, with three torpedo tubes. The
vessel was built in 1898 at laramie and
under forced draft can develop speed
Of nineteen knots.
The mascot of the Puglia is big
italian eat, which can eat several yards
of spaghetti without coughing. 1t is
the pride of the Roman tars. It name
is Ciceia. Prior to starting out on the
world voyage Ciccia acquired fame as
a sailor along the Mediterranean.

Taisei Maru's Long Stay.

The japanese training ship Taisei
Maru is remaining much longer in port
than was at first anticipated, and it is
likely that she viii remain until the
first week, at least, of October. The
vessel on leaving San Francisco in
tended visiting Panama, but owing to
sickness of one of the cadets the YES
sells course was changed to Honolulu.
Her stay since has been prohlematical,
as she had several weeks extra time to
kill from the original itinerary. One
cadet has already been sent home to
japan on account of sickness, and on
the return of the Tenyo Maru another
will be sent to Yokohama, and possibly
a third.
There is a story to the effect that
the course of the Taisei Maru to Pana-
ma was purposely changed to Honolulu
owing to a feeling that a visit of a
seminaval vessel, especially one flying
the japanese flag, might not be regard
ed at its best there, because of the canal
work being conducted by the army en-
gineers.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct. a.
A caucus of delegates to the tu.
berculosis congress today opposed
the theory OF Koch that transmissi.
billy of bovine tuberculosis to hui
mans is unproven has been called
for the purpose of attempting to
force a positive declaration upon
the subject by congress. United
States and a majority of foreign
delegates are against the Koch
theory.
Koch's opponents were elated to-
day by an announcement that IL
adult patients inoculated in Wash
ington with tuberculosis are AFFECT
ed with human tuberculosis and
the bacilli of one with the bovine
type. According to DIR. Detre these
experiments absolutely demon,

humans may contract the disease

REVENUE CITY CAN
AFFORD TO LOSE

A peculiar thing In connection
with the consideration of city
finances at this time has present
ed itself in the fact that about $40.
600 heretofore collected in fines
from the immoral women of the
town rs omitted from calculation OF
city revenues for the coming year
and corresponding amount must
be made up by taxation to meet
the loss of revenue from the
women.
Many of the women are still
here but the city no longer levies
systematic collection on them since
their notorious resorts were
closed.
The loss of revenue from this
source, however, Is Insignificant
compared to the total and merely
serves as a reminder OF the city s
former shame.

AGEMENT AND EXCLUSIVE
USE OF RENT REVENUE.

John Wetzel, president of the
board of public works, has been at
the head of the city's water de.
partment less than four months,
and has discovered that an i'm
provement on the old system must
be made If the city is to get the
best results. The present method
of the joint management of the
plant by the city council and the
beard of public works is cumber-
some, as 1t takes too long to get
anything done. He thinks water
system management should be
taken out of politics and placed in
the hands of nonpartisan COM
mission, which would have full
control and responsibility for sue
cessful operation.
Mr.. Wetzel says the suggestion
made to the city council by Comp
Scoller Robert Farley that all the
revenues for the water plant be
placed in a fund OF its own and
held solely for operating expenses,
fixed charges and betterments, is
a move along the right line. Water
revenues have been going into the
general fund for the payment of
the current expenses of the city,
while warrants drawing 6 per cent
interest have been issued for
water extensions when the same
exceeded the proportion of the
water revenues set aside for that
purpose, so per cent. Mr.. Wetzel
thinks that 1t would be wise to
make the whole of the water rev.
enues available for use in one

expenses, fixed charges and extern
sions, II It is found that 1t Is neces-
sary to use all of it for these pur-
poses.
