NOTIFYING WORLD
Of COMING EVENT

The regular weekly report of progress
made to the Promotion Committee yes
terday by Secretary H. P. Wood was:
Honolulu, November 10, 1908.
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: 1t is very pleasing to
note that our suggestion as to mark
ing the opening of Pearl Harbor by a
general celebration has been taken up
by the Chamber of Commerce. The en-
dorsement of the plan by the appoint
ment of a committee at yesterday s
meeting of that representative organ
ization ensures the carrying out of the
project. Formal notice of the intended
celebration will be sent out to some
$50 chambers of commerce forthwith in
an effort to enlist their interest and
support. The press will be kept fully
informed as to every step taken. Uni
ted States Consuls will be notified and
by the first of the year the work of
publicity should be we'll under way.
July 4, 1912. viii be day never to be
forgotten in the history of Hawaii.
1t is fortunate that the committee
has placed an order for an additional
lot of the Crossroads of the Pacific ,"
map.
BY the last mail from the Orient, we
received requests for the map from
Chinkiang, Shanghai, Tien-Tsin, Wei
hai-wei and Chefoo. We also have
letters from Antwerp, Belgium; Wien,
Germany, and La Paz, Mexico; ac-
knowledging receipt of maps sent and
asking for additional copies.
Letters from Thos. Cook and Ray
mond and Whitcomb's Agencies
throughout the United States, are com
ing in, acknowledging the receipt of
supplies of the fourth edition of "Ha-
wall, Primer which they state will
be carefully distributed. Several of the
agents report the outlook for travel to
Hawai- during the coming season to be
good.
A letter from firm of publishers of
Maps and Aliases, to hand by the Man
churia, states that they are preparing
to issue a new Atlas and History of the
world, getting out an edition of 100000
copies. They propose giving twenty
five to forty pages to Hawaii, general
descriptive matter, history, statistics,
illustrations, maps, etc. No request for
financial assistance is made but the
committee is requested to prepare the
matter and supply the necessary maps
and photographs which we can well
afford to do. if, upon inquiry, we find
the firm to be a reliable one.
Regarding the proposition of G. S.
Hammond and Company, of New York.
in which they offer to engrave a special
plate showing the data contained in the

splendid Map of the World, provided
we care to assist them to the extent
of ordering 100 copies at $500 per copy,
giving this data on all future issues
Of the map, the issue of which has
already exceeded 100000 copies The
offer is a splendid one and / hope sin
cerely that some plan may be devised

of it. Respectfully submitted,

MORITA KEIZO
AGAIN REPRIEVED
For the Eleventh Time Day
for His Execution Is
Postponed.

Acting Governor Mott-Smith signed
reprieve for Morita Keizo yesterday
postponing the day set for his execu-
ton from November q, to January Z
next year. This is the eleventh re-
prieve which the condemned man has
been given.
He was convicted of murder in the
first degree on March 81, 1906, in the
Hilo Circuit Court, and the day of his
execution was set by Governor Carter
for January s, 1907. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States on the question of whether
the Circuit Courts had the authority
under the Organic Act or otherwise to
naturalize aliens, number of the grand
Jurors who found the Indictment against
Keizo being persons who had been nat
uralized in the Circuit Courts of the
Territory, and not in the United States
District Court, which it yeas claimed
alone had jurisdiction to grant natural
iZation.
In setting the date of execution for
January z, Acting Governor MottSmith
had in mind that the decision against
him in the Supreme Court of the United
States was rendered November II. The
mandate from that court cannot issue
for ten days so that it would not leave
Washington before November 81 and
would not reach here until some time
in December. Application win be made
for a eommutation of sentence to i'm
prisonment and to give time for this
to be considered would bring it to about
the holidays. Hence the date was set
to carry it over these. George Ono
and the representative of one of the
japanese newspapers called on the
Acting Governor day before yesterday
and told him that an application for
executive clemency would be made. 1t
is understood that the request will be
that the sentence of death may be com
muted to imprisonment for life.
High Sheriff Henry has informed
KeizO of the import of the dispatches
from Washington in regard to his case.
He seemed affected by the information
though he sought to maintain an I'M
moved demeanOr

SECURITY FOR
COSTS IS ASKED
Cathcart Ruled to Show Cause
Why He Should Not
Give Ii.

Answers were fled yesterday by the
Hawaiian Gazette Company and Wal
ter G. Smith in the five libel suits
brought against them by John w.
Cathcart. The answers are the same in
each case; every allegation in the
complaints is denied.
Application was made yesterday by
the defendants for a rule against
Cathcart to show cause why he should
not be required to give security for
costs. These applications are support
ed in each case by an affidavit by L..
A. ThurstOn, in which he alleges on in
formation and belief that the plaintiff,
Cathcart, is wholly without means and
insOlvent, and that in the event of
judgment being rendered in favor of
the defendant, the plaintiff could not
pay any judgment for costs which
might be rendered against him in the
action. The affidavit alleges that the
costs will probably be considerable. as
there will be required a considerable
number of witnesses, and that the ae-
ton may take a week to try. Two
hundred and fifty dollars at least is
gwen a. the PAOpdpie amount Oh coSUS
to which the defendants viii be enti-
tied in the action if Judgment is rem
dered in their favor. 1t is also stated
that it may be necessary to secure the
testimony of witnesses on the main
land of the United States. The aft
davit is the same in each of the five
eases.
Judge De Bolt entered an order in
each case requiring the plaintiff to an
swer the rule to show cause on Mon
day morning, November %, at 9
o clock, and meanwhile all proceed
ings otherwise in the case are stayed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1O.-Uncle
Sans army has been gaining recruits
at an unprecedented rate during the
last few days. Yesterday over fifty

office and since election the number of
applicants has been growing larger
each day.
Lieutenant c. T. Smart, in charge of
the Office, is at loss to account for
the unusual number of applicants. but
believes it due, perhaps, to the fact
that new army post is about to be
established in the Hawaiian Islands.

delightful country.
Many of the applicants are from the
salmon fishing and whaling vessels that
have returned from the North recently.
