Japanese were on the verge of invad
ing Puget Sound
To secure higher aerials for their
wireless experiments Suffer and Wat
mer have been using two five-foot
kites At present they are construct
ing one that is eight feet in length and
much larger than any they have yet
used. Colored lanterns were attached
to the kites for the purpose of keeping
them in view. THESE lights are what
caused such a sensation in various
parts of the city where the "airshIp"
was sighted.
Part of the time wires were used and
electric lights were suspended from
the aeroplanes, but usually lanterns
were used, as the weight of wire was
too heavy for the kites to support.
The mystery of the airship moving
is explained when it is known that the
kites were often flown from the Fear
less while the tug was moving up
Sound. IN the Narrows has been n
popular place for the experimenters
to send up the "airship.' Once the
kite was seen above the Pacific Coast
dock, directly above the Fearless. The
steamer Flyer was coming in and the
passengers gazed in amazement at the
ship, never suspecting that it was at
tached to the tug lying peacefully in
her berth. The aeroplane frequently
attained height of over 1000 feet.
The Fearles3is equipped with the
Massie wireless system and Operator
Suffer is able to send and receive mes
sages over a long distance.

A GOOD YEAR.

hedging at present in preparation tor
the payment of taxes. AS the result
there is little money on hand for loans
and considerable money is being i'm
ported by the banks.
This condition should not last long,
however, and there should be an
abundance of available funds for loan
ing purposes by July. There is enough
money here now for general circuia-
ton and were it not for the taxes whiC1
have to be paid this month there would
be no need of importations.
1.-TWO of the factors which have
tended to maze money very much east
er here, have been in connection with
Kihei and Waialua plantations.
Through the sale of the Kihei stock
some $375,00O which has been tied up
for a good many years has been avail
able and many who have borrowed on
this stock have been able to meet their
loans and have released a great deal
of money. The payment of a dividend
by Waialua, which has never before
paid, will be a great factor. as the
money here has been tied up so long
without any returns that its coming at
this time will be specially felt.
1.-THE conditions all over the Unit
ed States are much better than they
were and the country banks in particu-
lar report good gains. The only COM
plants to be heard come from the
banks in the big cities Even here it
is noticeable that the cash reserves are
being kept up much better than usual.
Almost all the larger banks have in
creased their cash from about 25 per
cent to about 80 per cent. The National
City Bank of New York, which normal
ly has carried about 25 per cent now is
carrying 40 per cent, which you can
see is quite an increase and is CON
servative to an extreme.
"The spending of Federal funds N
this Territory is being felt and will
continue to be felt in even greater de-
gree and will help conditions here
Where in other parts of the United
States the fact that this is a presi-
Dental year is being noticeable md Is
tightening up money, it will have no
effect here and this should be the most
prosperous community in the United
States in The coming rail-"

others, not merely things of material
value, but things that are of worth for
the intellectual and spiritual welfare of
all of us In the century that has
passed the development of North AM
erica has, on the whole, proceeded
faster than the development of South
America; but in the century that has
now opened | believe that no other
part of the world will see such extra
ordinary development in wealth, in
population, in all that makes for pro-
gress, as will be seen from the north
ern boundary of Mexico through all
Central and South America; and | can
assure you that the people of this ma
ton look with the most profound sat
isfaction upon the great growth that
has already taken place in the coun-
tries which. you representa- growth
alike in political stability and in the
material well-being which can only
come when there is political stability.
Our battle fleet has just finished it's
trip around South America, and | wish
to thank the rulers and the peoples of
South America and of Mexico for the
generous and courteous hospitality
which has been shown this fleet on ev-
cry possible occasion throughout the
trip.
In conclusion. let me speak of an
other trip, made couple of years ago
by the Secretary of State, Elihu Root,
the first time in our history the Am
erican Secretary of State, during his
term of office, left the country to visit
certain other nations. Mr. Root made
the complete tour of South America,
traversed Central America, and after
wards visited Mexico. He was every
where received with the heartiest
greeting, a greeting which deeply
touched our people, and l wish to say
once more how appreciative we are of
| the reception rendered him
His voyage was unique in character
and in value. 1t was undertaken only
because we citizens of this Republic
recognize that our interests are more
closely intertwined with the interests
Of the other peoples of this continent
than with those of any other nations,
believe that history will say that
though we have had other great SecTe-
taries of State, we have had none
greater than Elihu Root; and that
though in his high Office he has done
much for the good of his nation and Of
| l.
ment has been the success which has
| come as the result of his devoted labor
to bring closer together all the repub-
lies of the New World, and to unite
them in the effort to work valiantly
for our common betterment, for the
material and moral welfare of all who
dwell in the Western Hemisphere

SCHOOL
DECISION OF THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION STANDS, SAY THE
MCKINLEY COMMITTEE.

The new High School building will
be named after our late President
William Mckinley, Notwithstanding
objections which were made by Super-
intendent of Public instruction Bah.
bitt at the recent meeting of the
Board of Education. In speaking Of
the matter this morning, in response
to a question from a Star reporter
Judge Dole said:
1T was decided long ago, while Mr..
Rabbit was away that the school
should be named after President Nc
Kinley and there has been no change
made. The gift to the school, from
the Mckinley Memorial committee,
with the conditional feature that the
building should be named after it's
wishes was accepted by the Board of
Education, which is the supreme au-
thOrity, as | understand the matter.
before Mr.. Babbittt returned from his
trip to the Coast. He merely took
the opportunity of voicing his per-
sonal opinion, which had no weight
as the Board of Education had al.
ready accepted the gift"
Both Judge Dole and c. NJ. Cooke,
of the Mckinley Memorial Commit
tee left an inference in speaking Of
the subject that Babbitt, had stepped
in where angels fear to tread. In fact
such remarks were openly made and
with feeling that while glad to get
the money for the work which was
under his charge, Babbitt might bet
ter have taken the matter otherwise
than looking a gift horse in the mouth.
