| Z Whereas, THE establishment of a
News Bureau, in connection with the
regular work Of the Promotion Cem-
| mittee. as outlined in the letter before
the committee, from Mr.. WIN J. Coop
ar, would undoubtedly result in the
securing Of much desirable publicity.
Therefore be It Resolved, That, if up
on careful investigation by the Treas
urer, it IS found that enough regular
mainland expenditures can be readily
discontinued, providing. in this way,
a sum sufficient for the installation OF
such a service, without adding in any
way to the monthly expense accounts,
that the secretary be and is hereby
authorized to proceed in the matter
LOS ANGELES TO SEATTLE.
w. T. Lucas stated his opinion that
the Northwest territory was the best
place in which to do promotion work.
He said that in the cold belt the pros
pect of wintering in Hawaii would
have great allurement. He thought
that it would be a good thing for the
committee to have an office in Seattle.
AS far as q4os Angeles was concerned
Hawaii could still have it's exhibit
there but the tourist field in the north
promised better
Secretary Wood agreed with Mr..
Lucas. He said that the committee
had done good work in Los, Angeles
and that Southern California was
practically theirs. He was of the
opinion that a campaign should be
started in Seattle to let the people in
that country know that Hawaii really
had what Southern California offered.
He suggested that he be authorized to
instruct Agent Childs to proceed to
Seattle Immediately after the depar-
ture of the Pacific fleet, TO get ideas
and information and to report to the
local committee early in July. BY so
doing it would be possible TO get the
agency established in Seattle by
August. which would be just the right
time. The committees exhibition could
at Los Angeles and arrange
ments could be made to have enquiries
answered there and folders distributed.
Mr.. Wood was instructed TO take
the matter up and report to the COM
mittee

that the press bureau idea was a first

LOST MONEY ON RACES
THEN CUT HIS THROAT

A Jananese by the name of Y. Shi-
mokawa, who had been planting cane
in Kapahili gulch, Kauai, under con-
tract with Cav Robinson, committed
suicide by slashing his throat with a
knife on Monday of last week. Some
four or five months ago his wife left
him and went to Japan. After that
he became morose and said he wanted
to follow her as soon as he could. Last
Monday he disappeared from his home
in Hanapepe and was not seen neither
that nor the following day. On We'd
nesday his friends became anxious and
began search for him. The whole
day passed without any trace of the
missing man being discovered, but on
Thursday morning his body was found
in canefeld with the throat cut from
ear to ear and a bloody knife clutched
in his hand
Dependency occasioned by the de-
n"rture of his wife seems to have been
tie principal cause of the suicide, al.
though rumored loss of several hun.
dred dollars on horse races may have
FASTENED the end.
