contentment of so large body of men
during their stay in Honolulu.
II understand from Mr.. Mcbride, the
Governors secretary, that the Cover
nor had cabled to Secretary Mott-Smith
to hold up all fleet entertainment prop
Ositions in Honolulu until letters from
him reached the executive committee
This action was based, l believe, on
observations of his own with refer
ence to the workings of the San Fran
cisco entertainment committee. / I'M
derstand this refers to smaller work
ing committees which have been found
more satisfactory than larger ones.
Mayor Taylor, Mr. Phelan, Mr.. Jen-
nings and others were greatly pleased
to know that Honolulu intended to eX-
tend a hearty and most hospitable alo-
ha to the fleet"
Taylor brings back much informa-
ton of value to the local fleet enter
tainment committee IN the matter of
the workings of the San Francisco en-
tertainers and he has also gained a
great deal of knowledge as to the Grim
inal following such an armada has in
the ports it visits, and he is thus equip
ped with information that will be most
valuable in handling any crooks who
venture to do" people here while the
fleet is in port.
Mr.. Taylor, who required vacation
on account of strenuous duties steadily
maintained for long period, has much
benefited by his trip, having gained
nine pounds. He is glad to be home,
however, and his many friends are
glad to see him again.

TWO MAIL

BESIDES EMBEzzLEMENT KOKI
HAS TWO CHARGES OF MUTT
LATING BAGS TO FACE.

That the Federal authorities mean
to cinch Moses Kold if it is possible
and that they firmly believe in his
guilt were shown today when two
new indictments were brought in
against him. Both of these charge
him with cutting, tearing and injur-
ing a United States mail bag. In the
first of these indictments it is alleg-
ed that this was done on November
Is, while the second places the crime
on December II.
The case of the prosecution seems
to be getting stronger and it will pro-
badly show that Koki attempted to
rob the mail sacks on November 10,
but found that there was not enough
booty and waited till a month later,
when he made a rich haul, but was
arrested shortly after. There are now
six indictments against Moses Koki
and one against his brother Joshua
Koh, who was assistant postmaster
at Kamuela

WHAT HE SAW
At KILAUEA

Mr. C. l.. La Rue of Sacramento,
California, who has travelled extern
sively around the world, returned from
Hawaii by the S. s. Mauna Loa Tues
day of this week, in an interview he
said:
Eyes, l have just been to the vol
cano; was it worth while? Well! /
should think so; 1t was worth going
around the world to see; l would not
have missed it for any consideration;
it is a spectacular performance which
cannot be described; it is so awfuny
fascinating that one can hardly leave
it; if my business would have permit
ted, l would have remained there a
week. The wonder to me is that your
Honolulu people do not make more Of
it; they can't realize the extent Of the
present activity; l understand tnat
hundreds of people went up to see the
flow Of 1907, and that it was not a bit
more attractive than Kilauea is at the
present time"
Everybody returns from the vol
cano with the same enthusiasm and
yet Honolulu has not awakened to the
fact that a, great eruption is taking
place within twenty-four hours travel
of her gates.

FLEET
PROGRAM
OFFICERS AND MEN WILL HAVE
TWO DAYS AT THEIR OWN DIS
POSAL.

AT a meeting of the subcommittee
on entertainment of the fleet held at
Mr.. Waldron's office this morning, the
sum of $500 was voted to the commit
tee on the Kapena Falls outing for the
sailors, for the purpose of clearing the
trails and erecting dressing shed
An offer from THE Mascot" opera
company to give three performances
during the stay of the fiction the
dates July IS, 20, 22-was gratefully
accepted, as was a promise by ]. c..
Cohen to have the Orpheum going with
some company at that time OF course
admission will be charged, but the
idea is that there will be something
doing in theatricals.
1t was decided to leave blank on the
program two days to enable the officers
and men of the fleet to arrange any
events on their own account which
they may desire to bring off.
For the rest it was decided to con-
fine the efforts of the entertainment
subcommittee to what has already
been outlined as heretofore published.
Meetings of Chairmen of all SUBJ
committees at $50 every Monday and
Thursday were decided upon as advis-
able.
Regarding the matter of a barge for
use at the landing place the following
satisfactory letter from the Superin-
tendent of Public Works was read:

Sir:-I have to acknowledge receipt
of your favor of May 9th, enclosing

that this matter has already been talk
en- up by this Department We have a
large barge which has been loaned to
Captain Orwell for use at Pearl Har-
Dor which l intend to ask the return
of for this purpose, during the stay OF
the fleet in Honolulu It is the inten-
ton to place this barge at the Alakea
street slip and to provide a proper
gangway from the barge to the wharf,
which | trust will be satisfactory to
