DISCUSSION OF
PROMOTION PLANS
IMPORTANT ASSISTANCE MAY
BE GIVEN TO LOCAL COMMIT
TEE BY DIRECTOR NEWELL.

The Promotion Committee at its
meeting yesterday authorized the ac-
ceptance of the design for the Floral
Parade poster submitted under the
nom-de-plume of 'Kekaha," and the
payment of the $50 prize to the artist.
The matter of printing was fmmedi-
ately taken up and the chairman and
secretary were authorized to look In
to the matter and secure figures on
this work. 1t is being rushed through,
as the committee desires to circulate
the posters as soon as possible on the
mainland, in the hope OF bringing
tourists to this city.
A number of photographs which
have been taken recently at the XII
lauea crater, were shown to the Com
mittee by Secretary Wood, who stat
ed that they had been secured to for
ward to Artist w. w Burridge, who
painted the cycloramic views of the
volcano which were exhibited at the
Mid-Winter Fair in San Francisco
Mr.. Burridge has received a private
commission to paint a cyclorama oil
Kilauea for exhibition at the Seattle
exposition.
Secretary H. P. Wood was given
the necessary authority to engage the
services Of Mrs. Frances K. Header
to take the position of agent for the
local Promotion Committee at Los
Angeles during the absence of LLOYD
Childs on the Seattle Fair work.
! 1t was stated that Director Newell
of the Reclamation Service, who is
now on Hawaii with Governor Frear
had offered to be of any assistance tc
the Promotion Committee that they
might see fit to accept. Secretary
! Wood stated that he would obtair
from Mr.. Newell the names of a mum

to small farming and also that h'
would endeavor to get Mr.. Newell II

Says the Washington Star:-1he
item of news in last nights Star con-
corning the equipment with a wireless
outfit of a schooner in local waters
might have been passed over lightly
by an Indifferent reader. 1t is. how
ever, suggestive of the general use in
navigation to which wireless tele-
graphy will probably be put. Perhaps
in the time of men now living this
twentieth century marvel will be ap-
piled to all craft that ply the seas.
The news item in question recited
that the schooner Pendleton Sisters of
New York, now in port discharging
Maine ice, is the only sailing vessel
afloat, under any flag, equipped with
a wireless telegraph outfit. The aerial
wires stretch from the foretopmast to
the mizzen and then connect with the
receiving and sending instruments in
the captains cabin. On the voyage
down the coast the craft caught many
messages from other ships, and of
Cape Henry was in communication
with the operator there many hours
before sighting the entrance to the
Chesapeake.
1t seems but year or so ago that
the wireless telegraph came into prac.
! teal use. A few of the show ships OF
the more important transatlantic pas
senger lines were QUILTED with the
apparatus. The utility of the equip
ment was quickly demonstrated, and
it was installed in ship after ship till

deep sea passenger craft. There is
no doubt that before the earth rolls

DAMON.

Nearly all of prosperity and of hearty
good will that the Chinese enjoy in
this Territory today, is due to the
work, the loving unselfish "brotherly
kindness" of Francis Williams Damon
("Frank'') as his friends love to call
him.
If others, in the past few years, have
caught of his early old-time unselfish
spirit and work, when more of hard
ship and sacrifice were required than
at present, we are glad to know of
the same and to mark it. He too is
glad and the Chinese are glad; for,
surely there is room for all workers
when we think of China at our door!
But Mr.. and Mrs. Damon a little
later, were the pioneers that have in
fuenced and inspire others to begin,
and to help in the great work. The
Rev. DIR. Thwing has now for some
years been Mr.. Damon's beloved right
hand man and coadjutor and to him
has Mr.. Damon given of his counsel
and his love.
Together, hand in hand have these
two earnest Orient lovers worked and
planned. Speaking in their own dia-
lects to the Chinese and to their little
ones of the wonderful work of God and
bringing in hundreds, thousands, to
take Christ for their Lord and Master
in this world and through all eternity.
A mighty work.
Mr. Damon's life work now culmin-
ates in the Mid-Pacific Institute-grand
monument of exalted Christian labor
and love; charity"

WIRELESS ON SAILING SHIPS

many times round the sun all steam
ers doing a passenger business and a
large number of regular freighters and
tramps will be receiving and sending
messages through the air.
The installation of wireless on a
sailing vessel marks an era in the
mysterious science of telegraphy. A
ship equipped with wireless has re-
duced the dangers of the deep, and
these dangers will continue to diminish
as the number of ships so safeguarded
increases. The time will surely come
when a ship captain will no more
think of putting to sea without a wire
less outfit than without his compass
and his sextant.

Soon after the architects departure
Contractor John H. Sanderson, one of
the defendants, appeared with u bill
supported by an affidavit purporting to
be in proper form, for which he asked
and obtained certiflcation of the archi,
tect by the brothers signature.
The state expects to prove that this
bill was fraudulent in that Sanderson
was given the contract for certain
furnishings under one item in the spe
cial capitol furnishing schedule and
billed these articles to the state under
another item, the amount of which Il
in excess of the item under which hC
was given the contract, and also thai
some of these articles were invoicet
to the state and paid for as contain

actually contained.
Following the testimony of Rev

L|TTLETON ASKS
JURY TO ACQU|T.
HARRY X. THAW ON THE GROUND
~ OF INSANITY
AN IMPRESSIVE ARGUMENT.
Thaw's Counsel In His Speech to the
Jury Made No Effort to Eulooizs
His Client, but Attacked Je.
rome and Hummel.

New York, Jan 30.-Martin w. Lit.
Teton, chief counsel in the defense
of Harry X. Thaw, on Wednesday
asked for the acquittal of his client
upon the ground of insanity, declaring
he could not conceive how, in the face
Of the evidence, the jury could render
any other verdict. The evidence OF
the defense tending to establish the
insanity of the defendant Mr. Little
ton declared, has been answered only
by the sneers and insinuations of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome.
Mr.. Littleton warmly defended Eve
lyn Nesbit Thaw against the attacks
Of District Attorney Jerome. He said
he could not understand what she had
done, what great crime she had COM
mitted, considered in the light of all
she had confessed herself to be, that
the prosecutor should transcend all
the rules Of propriety and attempt to
destroy her when In the next breath
he was ready to "coddle and hug and
vouch for the testimony of such a
scoundrel as Abraham Hummel-the
very vermin of the New York bar"
The address of the defending attor-
ney took up all of the days sessions
and District Attorney Jerome is ex.
pected to reply to-day. If he should
finish at the morning session Justice
Bowling will charge the jury during
the afternoon. II Mr.. Jerome's ad-
dress should extend well into the aft
ernoon, however, the case will not go
to the jury until Friday morning.
Mr.. Littleton urged that there should
be no compromise. He asserted that
II any doubt exists in the minds of the
Jurors, they should dissolve it in favor
of the defendant and acquit him. He
begged them not to be misled by the
district attorney into voting for a YER
dict of conviction in some lesser de-
gree than that of first degree murder.
Mr.. Littleton's argument was i'm.
pressive. He refrained from appeal.
ing to the passions of the jurymen
and devoted himself to logical con-
sideration of the facts as adduced in
evidence. He made no attempt to
eulcgize Thaw and said that he asked
for him no more consideration than
the average American boy had right
to demand of the average American
jury.
The speech was crisp with epigrams
and the short sentences were filed
with the pith of logic The jurymen
followed 1t with intense interest and
It was generally conceded that Mr..
Littleton had left Mr.. Jerome a diff.
cult task.
