HAVE AMERICA AND JAPAN
REACHED AN AGREEMENT?

The Hawaii Shinpo published an
extra edition yesterday containing the
text of an alleged agreement arrived
at between the Government of the
United States and that of Japan. The
agreement is purported to be signed
by Ambassador Takahira, the Japanese
representative at Washington, and by
Secretary of State Root, at Washing
ton. According to the Shinpo, the Of
fetal announcement of the signing of
the new treaty will not be made until
February next.
The text of the alleged treaty was
furnished the Shinpo by it's special cor
respondent in Toxic, and is as follows:
"I-The Government of the United
States and the Government of His I'm
perial Majesty, the Emperor of Japan,
in order to augment the existing
friendly relations between the two
governments, and in the hope that pos
sible future misunderstanding may be
avoided, enter into this agreement.

FOR OPENING Of
PEARL HARBOR
Plan for National Celebration
of the Event Is Being
Considered.

If the plans set on foot by the mem
bers of the Honolulu Chamber of Com
meree and backed up by various Off
cials can be carried out, the naval
glories of America in 1912 on the At
lantic will be celebrated here in 1912,

Harbor for naval use by new Ameri-
can Navy These plans have as yet
not taken definite shape, but the idea
has been born and is thriving Justify.
Honorable F. B. Loomis, American
Commissioner to Toxic, expresses his
belief in the possibility of having at
the Crossroads of the Pacific celebra-
tion which will attract worldwide at
tention. He has taken up the idea of
marking the opening of the greatest
American naval outpost by national
celebration. In his opinion it will be
quite possible for Hawaii to have here
for the opening of Pearl Harbor all
the vessels of the Pacific fleet. He
also deems it a feasible thing to so
influence the Department of State that
invitations viii be sent out for the
presence here on that occasion of the
war vessels of other nations, Great

HONOLULU To
Be METROPOLIS
Director Newell Expects This
Will Grow to Great City
of Residences.

''Honolulu, to my mind, is going to
be the great residential city of the
Pacific" said Frederick II. Newell,
Director of the United States Reclama-
tion Service, last night. "There is no
doubt in my mind but that you will
have here the future metropolis of the
Pacific. Your location, your climate
and the unique position you hold as a
city within the United States is GO
ing to bring a great many people here
to live.
"What you must have is plenteous
water supply. You have an ideal eli
mate and it appears to me that the
only limit of population that viii be
put on this city is the limit of your
water supply. The first thing new
conner will want to know is, ''Can L
get plenty of good water to drink,
and can 1 get sufficient for the proper
irrigation of a lawn and garden9' ,
Water is the critical thing in all
hplaces where the other climatic condi-
lions are favorable, and the one thing
fiat fixes the limit on the population.
You can not have plenty of sunshine
the wear through and also plenty of
water not artifcially supplied.
E'I have visited the site of the Nu-
uanu Valley reservoir, where the work
on the new dam for your waterworks
system is going on, and 1 was very
much pleased with the organization
that is there on the work and the way
the work is being carried on. The
dam itself promises to be an admirable
piece of work, and is being carried
ahead in good shape, considering the
disadvantages that have to be met
with, of an uncertain water supply for
the sluieing. The work is being done
thoroughly, however, and I looked over
it from the viewpoint of an engineer
with high appreciation.

excellent idea advanced by the Super

When certain country storekeeper,
who was also the postmaster of the
borough. began the transaction of busi-
ness one morning about a year ago he
found that the safe in which were kept
the postage stamps had been robbed
during the night and promptly reported
the matter to the proper authorities.
The latter decided, after an investiga-

for the stolen stamps, but that the eX-
pense Of repairing the damage to the
safe would have to be borne by the
storekeeper, which was accordingly
done.
Some time later second robbery
was committed and reported, as before,
as the result of which there was an
other investigation, which disclosed
the fact that the stamps had been alb
stracted on this occasion without any
violence to the safe.
