The ChronicIe-In a recent address
to the National Geographical Society.
o. P. Austin shows how for more than
1000 years the nations of the West
have struggled for the control of the
commerce of the East. This rich COM
mercfaI prize has grown by advance
ment of civilization, expansion Of the
wants of man, and the better and
cheaper methods of transportation
until it now reaches the sum of nearly
three thousand millions annually. But
great as has been the commercial de-
veloprnent Of the East it is. when the
population is considered, insignificant
compared with that of Western na-
tions. Mr.. Austin shows that the ORR
ent. having more than one-half Of the
worlds population. and more than
one-third of it's land area, has but one-
eighth of the worlds commerce
The reason for this disparity OF
growth may be found in the develop
ment by Western nations Of the steam
ship. the railroad, and the telegraph,
while the East has been handicapped
by lack of means of transportation and
communication.

Within a year the AIaska-Yukon Ex-
position will open it's gates to the world
at Seattle. Hawaii has been invited to
make an exhibit but thus far nothing
much has been done of a nature to
assure the Exposition officials that this
Territory will take part. The Exposi-
ton is primarily to exploit the re-
sources and potentialities of the Alas
States and the Dominion of Canada.
and to make known and foster the vast
Importance of the trade of the Pacific
Ocean and of the countries in and
bordering upon it.
1t is estimated that there live within
radius of one thousand miles of Seat
tie over seven million people who are
directly interested in making the ex-
position the true exponent of their ma
terial wealth and development. Ha-
waii long known as the Crossroads of
the Pacific and upon which many thou
sands of eyes are now centered, as time
passes will, as a result of the Federal
improvements going on and the COM
pletion of the Panama Canal. become
much more important in the eyes of
the world.
Congress appreciating the position
and possibilities of Hawaii and want
ing to assist the Territory has appro-
priated twenty-five thousand dollars
and made the sum Immediately avail
able, for the use of the Territory to
make an exhibit at the northern city.
Besides this money there has been ap-
propriated the further sum of two hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars for
buildings to house the exhibit.
With this as a nucleus to work from
it is possible that the next legislature
may be prevailed upon to appropriate
some money to aid in the project. Ha-
waii has learned by her last invest
ment of fifteen thousand dollars, what
will do for the place. The
visit Of the Congressional party as the
guests of the people is acknowledged
to be the prime cause of the remark

ADVENTURES OF
A HONOLULAN
How John Albert Marcovitz
Slowed Away for Round
Australian Trip.

John Albert Marcovitz, who many
supposed was by this time in a British
dungeon in Vancouver, starting in or
sentence for slowing away in Bris-
bane on the British steamer Manuka
is in Honolulu, and very much at lib
erty. 1t appears that he escaped from
the Manuka brig while that vessel
was here on May 81, squeezing out
through port hole and working his
way hand-over- on the cable to
the side of the Bishop slip opposite the
vessel and seeking sanctuary on the
U. S. S. Iroquois until the Britisher
sailed away.
Mareoyitz sailed away from Homo
lulu, after ending an engagement in the
ticket office of the Orpheum, on April
4, slowing on board the s. S. Moana.
He was anxious to reach Australia,
where he believed he could land an
engagement as a song-and- dance artist
on the colonial stage. He had $50 in
his jeans and a kit of clothes when he
boarded the southbound liner When
he landed at Sydney he had neither
money nor clothes, the purser having
taken these to pay FOR his passage. He
also fell down on his job, the best offer
made him for his turn by the manager
of the variety being $40 week.
Without money for kaukau or a
change of shirts, his thoughts turned
back to good old Honolulu, where the
staff of life comes easy and two shirts
mean extravaganza. The Manuka was
getting ready to come here, and Mar
covitz got ready to come with her.
He applied for a job on board and
failed. He then t1Ied to make quick
rush up the gangway and repeat the
stowaway trick, but he was nabbed
and thrown off and warned that the
crew would be on the lookout for him.
Here is where his art as vaudeviller
came in handy. He is also an ex-
Pinkerton detective, and disguises are
second nature.
Dodging behind pile of freight, he
did lightning change and emerged as
an impersonation of a colonial tourist
bound for Hamerica,' and stalked
past the guards, when he dis
from view like a living pic

STRAUS REAPPEbRS
ON STREET CORNER

Leon NJ. Straus is back from the
Orient. He appeared without any ad-
vance notices on the corner of King
and Fort streets on Wednesday night
and began holding reception. How
he got back from Manila, how long he
had been in the city without making
adventures in the land of the bolos,
he respectfully declines TO state. II
was suggested that he may have re-
turned by wireless or that possibly he
has been in Honolulu all the time, but
Straus refuses to either affirm or deny
any of the guesses. All he asked of
the first friends who greeted him was.
who is the Governor of this place
now %
Straus left the islands on April l..
having wandered aboard the Army
transport sherman that afternoon and
forgetting to get off, his presence
aboard being communicated to shore
by wireless when the troopship was
sixty miles out Straus himself wire
lessing to client and telling him TO
seek another adviser. This was the
last heard from the shanghaied at
torney until a cablegram came 10 the
police here from Manila, asking if
Straus were wanted here. A reply
was sent that Straus had left no pill
kia behind him at the Crossroads.
Then another silence. Then Straus on
the corner dropped from the clouds.

ALL CELEBRATED IN HONOR
OF KAMEHAMEHA'S MEMORY
Parks Filled With Holiday Makers Throughout
the Day---Few TypicaIly Hawaiian
Features Seen.

Kamehameha Day was celebrated
throughout the city yesterday much
more quietly than used to be the Gus
tom. Except in the morning, when the
cars were carrying through crowds
bound for the various parks and re-
sorts in the suburbs, and after five
o'clock in the afternoon. when the pic
nickers, ball-players and fans, race
horse men and others were returning
home, downtown yesterday presented
a Sunday quiet, with closed stores and
almost deserted streets. There was a
large number of flags in evidence, the
Old Glory and the Hawaiian colors
flying together from many buildings,
but there were also a very large num-
ber of bare poles.
The day was an ideal one in the
weather line, and every park through
out the city was crowded. Kapiolani
was gay with those gathered to watch
the racing in the afternoon, when
some of the best horses in the dis
trict brushed against each other in
matched events The scene al the
racetrack about four o'clock was
busy one. with several hundred people
lining the track, with carriages and
autos drawn up in lines and 1emmo
and peanut stands in full and noisy
blast.
Opposite. in the Kunst park, three
hundred Sunday school children romp-
ed in and out of the water. while a
large number of grownups were en-
gagged on quoits and other games or
watching the children. The Sunday
school taking part in the days outing
al the public beach was that of the
Methodist church, while the boys from
the Kamehameha Schools also came
out for a part of the day.
AT the other end of the city. on
Kalihi harbor, a large number of in
persons watched the regatta
events and attended the luau. This
was a thoroughly Hawaiian affair. al
though attended by a large number IF
people of other nationalities. The
beautiful Moanalua grounds were
also visited by picnic parties and the
golf links We're fairly well patronfzed.

ing the day. the golf events there at

reason the Hawaiians contract lep1 osy
and the white people do not. I am
not a crank. however. I am not a
prohibitionist. But l do not want to
see the present good law wiped out
and a worse one passed. and that is
what we will see here if the liquor peo-
pie are to be treated as harshly as we
have seen done in some recent ex-
amples.
Il don't want to be misunderstood in
this. I am not making any attack on
the present license commissioners, but
want to warn them that the course
they are pursuing with their secret
meetings and their arbitrary ruling is
turning the people against them and
the country is going to suffer-"
WARNING OF w. A. KINNEY.
The sentiments expressed yesterday
by Senator Chillingworth are very
much in line with those expressel by
W. A. Kinney before the license beard
at recent meeting. Mr.. Kinney had
been retained by w. c. Peacock & Co.
to represent them before the board.
The Peacock application had been con-
sidered at a former meeting and it was
decided at that meeting that the IL
cense renewal would be refused on the
grounds that the firm had been sup
plying blind pigs throughout the city.
There was no vote taken at this meet
ing, but it is understood that if one
had been called there was clear ma
jority against further licensing the
wholesale house. The firm sent for Mr.
Kinney, who left the Koki trial on pur-
pose to appear at the next meeting of
the commissioners
Mr.. Kinney made very little reference
to any specific application in the ad-
dress and argument before the mem
bers, but warned them very clearly
that they were making a grave mis-
take in taking the course they had
chosen. He warned them that the fate
of the present liquor law, acknowl-
edged a good one, was in their hands
and that any attempt to shut down
a firm which had been doing business
in the Territory as long as Peacock &
Co. and which was as well respected
n the trade is that firm would bring
about very serious consequences.
He assured them that he knew what
he was talking about and appreciated
The sentiment that was growing among
the voters at large, which was that the
powers of the commissioners should be
shorn
The effect of this advice was to turn
enough votes in the board TO grant the
application, but it did not save

SAN FRANCISCO THINKS
THERE IS MORE IN CANAL
FOR HER THAN HAWAII

The most rapid development may be
found in Japan, which, in 1874. had no
railways and a foreign trade, accord
ing to Mr.. Austin, of S42 651 600: but i'm
1904. thirty years later, had $500 miles
of railway in operation. and a foreign
trade Of s243 500. 900. an increase OF
nearly 500 per cent. The vast empire
of China with it's teeming millions.
had, in 1904, but 20O0 miles Of railway
and 1856 $4,000 of foreign commerce.
What will be the development of this
trade when the thousands of miles Of
railway now authorized or definitely
proposed are in operation, and wherein
will san Francisco have any peculiar
advantage over the otner cities Of the
world2
Mr.. Parsons says in his Century ar
ticle: "Some years ago, when Hawaii
was annexed to the United states, the
advocates Of annexation produced maps
showing that straight lines drawn
from san Francisco. or from Panama
to Japan. China. India, and Australia
would intersect at or near the Ha-
waiian Islands, and that the bay %
Honolulu would become, therefones A1a

LEIS FOR THE STATUE.
The official opening of the celebra-
ton of the day was the gathering of
some sixty members of the Kameha-
meha Lodge at the statue of the Con-
queror before the Judiciary building
and the paying of tribute to his mem
ory by the placing of leis and flowers
on the figure. Then the members sang
Hawaii Ponoi' in chorus.
This was about the only thing in
the town itself to mark the signifi-
canoe of the day. The luau planned
by the Kaahumanu Society was cali
ed off and there were no parades OF
the pau riders, as has almost inva-
riably been the case in former years.
ON PUNAHOU CAMPUS.
One of the pleasantest events of the
day was the gathering of the pupils
of the Central Union Sunday school
and the members of the Bible class on
the Punahou campus. There num-
Der of sports were engaged in and
games played during the afternoon,
both before and after the generous
picnic spread provided.
BASEBALL CROWDS.
The baseball games at the park at
tracted a large number of the fans,
while here and there was a generous
amount of music throughout the after
noon Berger's musicians being on
hand for the special occasion
AT THE PENINSULA.
Over two hundred of the young peo-|
pie of the Portuguese Sunday school
enjoyed their annual picnic at the Pc
ninsula, the affair being under the su-
peryision of Assistant superintendent
J. D. Marques, who saw to it that the
children under his charge had good
time. They certainly had good time,
rowing, swimming. racing and playing
ball.
A feature of the baseball games was
the contest between the married men
and the bachelors. a game which the
benedicks succeeded in winning.
The Christian church sunday school
members also visited the LOchs. spe-
cial train bearing both the parties 0f
