city returned this morning on the
Sheridan from San Francisco, wnere
he has been spending a vacation, and
incidentally getting line on fancy
crooks who may come down to this
place when the Fleet is here. As a
result of his observations, he does not
think that great number of these
will have to be dealt with, as the
trip here is rather expensive, and not
attractive enough to warrant the
outlay for the crook However, he
has increased his mental fund Of
data on the crooked element which
Is now on the Coast. and IL will pro-
badly come in handy this summer.
In regard to the Fleet situation IN
San Francisco he says:
I'm working out their elaborate
plans for the entertainment of the
Fleet, the San Francisco committee
were particularly pleased to learn
that the Hawaiian Islands intended
to spread themselves when the great
white armada arrived at Honolulu.
San Francisco entered into the en-
Itertainment problem with splendid
patriotic zeal. Everybody displayed
feverish interest in the Fleets arriv-
al and as a result the decoration of
the city was truly inspiring: streets
and buildings were to blaze with
electrics, while flags and bunting fill
ed the eye. There was an artistic
element in the decorations which was
most pleasing.
"The San Francisco committee de-
voted its energies toward equalizing
the entertainments among the Off
GERS, the warrant officers, and the
enlisted men, recognizing that these
three divisions had, in very many in
stances, to be treated separately rs
far as entertainment plans were con.
cerned, and the local committee will
of course, have to follow this idea
This will facilitate matters, too
Then, also, entertainment plans hat
to be arranged in duplicate and trip
licate, owing to the fact that the
lcrews are given shore liberty in de
tachments, so that If a certain form
of entertainment Is to be provide,
for one detachment one day, n SINH
lar entertainment will have to be ar
ranged for the next day, and possibl.
the next, and meanwhile other feat
ures of the plans will have to be uli
der way. So 1t will be something
like three-ring circus.
THE makeup of the committee
in San Francisco and the manner II
which they are working, was. be
lieve, the cause of cablegram be
ing sent by Governor Frear to Sec
retary Mott-Smith to hold up the Ho
nolulu executive committee in 1t

COMMITTEES and working, so that tn
local committee would have u SAT

tee and subcommittee will hav
work, real hard work, and 1t Is jus
as well that they should have tn
benefit of the experience of the Sa
Franciscans. Mayor Taylor, Jane
