foundations; Alexander Young. commit
tee on hotels and accommodations.
Walter F. Dillingham;, committee ON
lcommissary; and w. R. Harrington,
press committee.
Several of the chairmen reported that
informal meetings of their various COM
mittees had been held and that all
were in readiness to get to work az
soon as some general scheme of enter
tainment was outlined. Colonel Jones,
of the decoration committee, stated
/ that his committee had met and were
fonly awaiting a report from the finance
committee as to how much money they
would have to work on before detailing
their plans. 1t was pointed out by the
Colonel that in San Francisco thirty
per cent of the total entertainment
! fund went for decorations and he hint
/ ed that the same should be done here.
His idea was to decorate lavishly along
the main streets and to use as much
electricity as could be got from the
government plant, the Hawaiian Elec-
trio Company and the hotels. From
the electrical company power for 5000
lights could be had and this with the
other lights from other available pow
er would make a good display.
BEER AS LIGHT REFRESHMENTS
Walter Dillingham;, of the committee
on commissary. sprung a conundrum
which admitted of and promptly re-
ceived two answers.
What the commissary committee
wants to know is whether beer is a
soft drink or not?" he asked.
NO" answered Senator Dickey, very
promptly, 'the commander has asked
that no liquors be given the sailors"
Yes" answered James F. Morgan.
IT will say yes just to keep the vote
tie. That's matter of detail"
FISHMARKET AVAILABLE.
Colonel Sam Johnson, of the sports
committee, asked what share of the
old fishmarket building his committee
might consider itself entitled to.
1.-The building is, altogether at the
disposal of the fleet committee during
the time the fleet is here" said the
Acting Governor. mo one else will
have any rights there at ALL"
This satisfied the Colonel.
CANNOT SERVE.
The regrets of a number who had
been asked to serve as chairmen OF
committees were read. P. c. Jones will
not be able to act as chairman of the
committee at large, his health not ad-
hitting of the work; c. NJ. Cooke re-
GREETED being unable to head the ways
and means committee, and C. G.. Bal
lentyne stated that he would have
enough work in keeping the street cars
running without acting as chairman
of the transportation committee.
The vacancies caused by these with
drawals will be filled by the executive
committee.
