OPENING LECTURE
on NEW THOUGHT

The New Thought, the awakening of
the subconscIous self TO know the full
power that is within each, dormant
through the ignorance of the possessor,
was treated by Mrs II Truman before
a large number of people at the KiIo-
hama Art League rooms last night, this
being the first of a series of lectures
dealing with advanced thought and the
development of the personality. The
lecture was based on ideas contained
within the Bible, but was not in any
sense a Biblical discourse nor in the
slightest one of creed or sect
The idea developed by the lecturer
and presented as clearly as anything
could be that deals with the sub ego
and the realm that lies without the
/ limit ordinarily placed on knowledge of
humanity, was that the limit of the
unattainable was non-existent and
that man is capable of realizing all
things, obtaining all things and know
ing all things through the development
of the powers possessed by him. There
is nothing strange, nothing extraordi-
nary, nothing that can be done by one
which cannot be done equally well by
all. Education and effort can open the
door of each Of the many mansions of
knowledge that are existent in each
and though the revealing of this inner
ent knowledge one may be led to the
appreciation of the sixth or even the
seventh sense. Few people in one life
may reach this latter stage of COM
plete knowledge, however, the possess
sion of which allows a sight of the
aura surrounding all objects and Civ
ing a certain insight into character
and thought.
Mrs. thurman explained that she had
first learned of her own subconscious
self some twelve years ago, after much
self-development, and had increased
her own knowledge since then, being
able in a simple way to explain to
others the New Thought and lead them
on to a more complete realization of
their powers. In the subsequent lee
lures of her course she proposes to go
into the depth of the subject by de-
grees, leaving the more obtuse and diff
ficult problems for later calculation.
The lecturer was introduced last
night by Mrs. w. NJ. Graham, who af-
forwards presented a number of those
present.

pumps, each attached to 150-horse-
power motor and having a capacity of
from 100000 to 100000 gallons per
"a hours at a head of 200 to SIS feet.
At station No. 3 there win be in
stalled two centrifugal pumps, each
connected to a 00-horsepower motor
These pumps viii have a capacity of
from 100000 to 100000 gallons of
water every "A hours at an elevation
of 200 to 375 feet.
A. Gartley, while in the East, will
see to the shipping of the plant, and
the machinery is all expected to be in
stalled in July or August

MILLS SUES OUT 4
WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS

A petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus was presented to Judge Lindsay
yesterday forenoon by Judge Quarles
on behalf of Harry T. Mills. Judge
Lindsay ordered the writ issued, di-
rected to County Sheriff Iaukea, order
ing him to have Mills before the court
at o'clock in the afternoon, with a
return as to the process under which
be held Mills. At 2 O'clock all par
ties were before Judge Lindsay, the
Sheriff being represented by County
Attorney Cathcart and Deputy County
Attorney Milverton They asked for
more time to prepare return, and the
hearing was continued until o'colck
today. Mills was then released on his
own recognizance on motion of Judge
Quarles.
The petition for the writ declares
that the incident out of which the i'm
prisonment grows was an attack made
on Mills by an opposing attorney; that
he merely defended himself; that there
is no judgment of court to support
the mittimus; nor any statement of
facts on the record showing that a con
tempt of court was committed; that an
appeal was prayed and refused; that
the mittimus first issued was destroyed
and that the supposed mittimus under
which he is held is feigned process.

Admiral Very, in reply said:
aloha, gentlemen. I fully appre-
ciate the kindly remarks / have just
heard, also the compliment paid me in
inviting me here today. While willing
to. accept moderate praise for what
may have been instrumental in doing
regarding Pearl Harbor ! must insist
that the greater share OF the credit
he given the energetic head Of the
Chamber Of Commerce and TO him who
so energetieally represented you at
Washington, Mr. II. p. Wood. To their
assiduous work is due in large measure
the securing Of the appropriation this
year.
"The examination Of the channel
made by you at your own expense i'm
pressed Washington very favorably.
The people there said that as you were
enough in earnest in the matter 70
put your hands into your own pockets.
they certainly ought 70 do something
to help you. As a result matters have
come to a head far in advance Of what
would have otherwise have been the
case.
TOO much cannot be said I'm praise
Of Mr.. Woods work at Washington.
By his efforts many chambers OF COM
merce throughout the mainland have
been asked to help IN securing an APP
preparation for Pearl Harbor and now
YOU know that his work was not done
in vain.
Il thank you all for the kindly rela-
tons which have prevailed between US
and for the twenty-one happy months
which l have spent here"
