.PROMOTIONERS WILL
SET HAWAII STRAIGHT

The Promotion Committee is to put
into practise the suggestion made IN
tbe Advertiser concerning the adver-
Using of this Territory as part and
parcel of the United States and empha-
sizing the fact that Hawaii is neither
dependency nor a possession OF any
country. This was decided at yester-
dav's meeting of the committee, when
the secretary was authorized to have
printed a number of pamphlets contain
ing these facts to be distributed among
the merchants of the city for enclos-
ing in all correspondence sent to the
mainland. The committee also conclud'
ed to take further steps to advertise
the Islands and will ask the pineapple
exporters to stamp the Crossroads map
on their boxes and also incorporate 1t
on the labels of their tins.
At Yesterday meeting an acknoWI-
edgment of the receipt of the Mark
Twain mantel was read from Mr.. Gle
mems. who expressed the pleasure he
felt in the gift from Hawaii.
Secretary Wood reported on the very
satisfactory aspect of the tourist trade,

GOVERNOR IS DELAYED
IN WASHINGTON ERRAND

Territorial affairs will detain Gov
ernor Frear in Washington until to-
morrow, when he leaves for New York,
expecting to reach the Coast in time
to sail for Honolulu by the January
transport or by the Alameda, due here
on January 10. This is the news re-
ceived by cable yesterday from the
Governor who had previously written
that he hoped to be able to reach Ho-
nolulu on the Korea, with Attorney
General Hemenway, on the 2Sth, but
might be prevented through delays in
connection with his Washington errand.
In his letter to Acting Governor Mott
Smith he stated that he feared he would
be prevented from attending the gold
en- wedding anniversary of his parents,
which was celebrated in Oakland on
the 10th inst. Yesterdays s cable shows
that his fears have been realized.

SALE Of CLAUS
SPRECKELS'
BLOCK
Syndicate Buys Most of
Merchant, King and
Fort Square.

One of the largest single real estate
transactions negotiated in Honolulu will
be completed and recorded today with
the transfer by Rudolph Spreckels to
local syndicate headed by c. NJ. Cooke
and others, most of the business square
bounded by Fort, Merchant, Alakea and
Queen streets. The price, while not
divulged, is reported to be very large
one.
The deal includes all of the block
except the buildings on the Judd, Stan
genwald and Mutual Telephone sites.
With these exceptions the block is own
ed by the Spreckels or, more partieu-
larly, by Claus Spreckels. The negotia-
tions have been conducted by Rudolph
Spreckels through R. W. Shingle of the
Henry Waterhouse Trust Company. Al.
though the deal is big and important
one in both real estate and financial
circles, yet the negotiations, until yes
Serday, were conducted with so much
secrecy that few men outside of those
directly interested, knew of it.
The deal viii be closed by this after
noon at latest, as Mr.. Spreckels intends
60 leave for San Francisco today or
tomorrow on the japanese steamship
Nippon Maru.
The property is the square through
which new cut must be made so that
Bishop street may continue on to Ha-
lekauwila street, opening up a large and
valuable area of town business prop
erty.
The negotiations carry the sale of ev-
erything owned in the block by Mr..
Spreckels. including the Claus Spreck-
els building in which are located the
Spreckels Bank, and W. G. Irwin & Co.

JAPANESE ABsCONDER
WILL SOON De HERE

Abe, the japanese charged with en-
bezzlement, for whom Chester Doyle
has been waiting in Yokohama while
the extradition details were being fixed
of the Hawaiian officer on the S. s.
China, due from the Orient on January
2. This news was cabled to Acting
Governor Mott-Smith yesterday by the
Acting Secretary of State.
1t was thought here when Doyle sail
ed away for his prisoner that it was
simply case Of going over to Japan,
putting the nippers on the absconding
Japanese and bringing him back to Ho
nolulu for trial When Doyle arrived
in the Orient however, he found that
Abe was neither ready nor willing to
be turned over to him or anyone else
and did not share the general longing
to return to the Paradise of the Pacific
credited to all who have lived here and
gone away. Abe was fighting his case
in the Dalny courts, after having been
at large in Manchuria. The Dalny
court has ruled against him, however,
and Doyle will soon be buying his re-
turn ticket for him. The cablegram OF
the State Department yesterday was
quotation from cable sent the De
partment by Ambassador o 'Brien of
the American Embassy at Toxic, which
said:
Abe case favorably acted upon by
court at Dalny. Prisoner being con-
veyed to Yokohama for delivery to Ha-
waiian officer on board steamship China,

STbBB|NG AFFRAY
IN CHINATOWN

Wa Hung Cling, watchman in
Chinese camp on King street near the
corner of Liliha, was taken to the
Queen s Hospital at an early hour this
morning, suffering from number of
severe knife wounds, received in a
fight near his home. He was stabbed
through the right cheek, received a
nasty cash in the stomach and has the
fingers of both hands sliced and laeer-
ated through the efforts he made to
wrest the knife out of the hands Of
his assailant His wounds are serious
but not necessarily fatal.
Chief Of Detectives Kalakiela hap
pened to be in Chinatown when the
fight took place, and it was he who
found the wounded man lying in the
road The name of the knifer is
known and the man will probably be,
arrested this morning The cause Of
the quarrel has not been given out.

ELECT ONLY
DECENT MEN
Spreckels Urges Choice of Off
cials on Character, Not
Politics.

Every man who prides himself on
his good citizenship should take an in
terest in his city's politics; he should
see to it that only decent citizens are
nominated for office, and after they are
elected he should watch their efforts
and assist in their work.
Public officials should be allowed
some discretion in their official
work, the same discretion as is
allowed the honest manager of bust
ness. They should not be controlled
by any political machine.
''Rely on your ability to select good
men for Office, then support and en-
courage them and rely on their good
Judgment. Rudolph Spreckels, to the
members of the Commercial Club, yes
terday.
The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1908-12-18

Rudolph Spreckels, the forceful
young leader of the fight against the
grafters of San Francisco, spoke plain
ly to the members and guests of the
Commercial Club at their noonday
gathering yesterday, preaching the doc
trine of common honesty and of the
necessity of every man taking enough
interest in his city's government to
keep it out of the hands of disrepu-
table persons, grafters and looters. His
straight-fr m-the-shoulder remarks were
cheered repeatedly, and three cheers
and tiger were given with enthusiasm
for the speaker at the conclusion of his
half hours address.
Never before mas the diningroom of
the Commercial Club been so filed at
luncheon reception as it was yester-
day, there being scarcely half enough
tables for all who appeared for the
luncheon and to listen to Mr. Spreckels
address the members on "Civic Reform
in San Francisco subject on which
Iazs75one is better qualified to speak than
he.
He was introduced in brief speech
by James Wakefield, president of the
club. Mr.. Spreckels said, in part:
8 [ feel that my welcome here and to
this city is as welcome home, for I
have a feeling that Hawaii is my home,
a feeling l shall carry through life AS
you all know, perhaps, I spent much
of my boyhood here, and feel that here
l am surrounded by my boyhood friends.
"The things that brought about my
active interest in civic reform in San
Francisco were these: After / had sold
out my Hawaiian interests, I looked
about for profitable investments in San
Francisco, and acquired a number of
shares in the Pacific Gas and Electric
Co, public service corporation. I in

There is a strong probability of DR..
Cofer, formerly in charge of the quar-
antine service at this port, being again
assigned to Honolulu. Acting Governor
Mott-Smith yesterday stated that pres
sure was being brought to bear upon
the department by friends of Hawaii
to have DR.. Cofer sent back here and
it is probable, in the light of what
Governor Frear has written, that the
requests will be carried out. There is
no certainty about this appointment,
however.
When DR.. Cofer was withdrawn from
duty here, after having served in
dual capacity as head of the Federal
quarantine service and president of the
Board of Health, it was thought by
him and others that he would be ap-
pointed to some position in the service
at some European port. In fact this
was the declared intention of the de-
partment in recalling him from Hawaii,
but so urgent have DR.. Cofer's friends
and the friends of the Islands been
to have him sent back here that the
department is about to yield
In letter written in Washington on
December 6, Governor Frear writes that
DIR. Cofer is now studying the latest
sanitary methods employed in the big
cities of the East and has asked for
ninety days more before being appoint
ed to permanent position in order
that he may continue his Investigations
This has been granted him.
DR.. Cofer has not forgotten Hawaii.
On the other hand it is on his recon-
mendation that Federal appropriation
for sanitary work for Honolulu is be-
ing considered and he has been assist
ing Governor Frear in urging such an
appropriation. In connection with the
work done to secure this money the
Governor has cabled for sanitary work
statistics, which have been forwarded
to the Governor. DR.. Cofer's recon-
mendation is that an appropriation of
twenty-five thousand dollars year be
given, to be expended here for sanitary
uses at the discretion of the Governor

The congressional bill to deal with

gives the details of many of the things
of which he has briefly cabled He has
also sent a draft of the land bill as
