HiTLESs WONDER
BOUND THIS WAY

Honolulu is to be honored with a
visit OF another nature man. This in
dividuaI. who. according TO a letter re-
ceived by a local man, is now on his
way to Hawaii, has not worn hat or
any kind of head-covering for twenty
five years
The curiostty's name is Emil Ruff
and a quarter of century ago he reg
istered vow TO entirely dispense with

has faithfully lived UP to his self-im-
posed VOW.

search OF recreation. Wherever he
goes he intends TO inaugurate a hat
less cult.
Ruff has no particular prejudice
against hats per Sc. but as a. personal
adornment he has no use for them.
He can find no record IN the Bible
where Adam and Eve INDUCED in silk
hats or the latest style Of mushroom
millinery and after careful perusaI
of the latter parts of the same author
ity he finds that from Noah down hats
were not popular.
Following his Biblical researches still
further Mr. Ruff finds a plentiful scare

relates with The fact that there were
no corresponding hated craniums.
He Is accordingly a firm believer in
the usefulness OF the hairless cult as
an exterminator Of hair-restoring ad-
vertisements.

Very truly yours,
"WALTER q. SMITH,
Editor Advertiser. ,

Tt was Mr.. Youngs wish to have
nothing rade known to the public
about the decision TO close the hotels,
until afteI the meeting of the stock
holders the next day, but the news
was out the n@rning of the day be-
fore that meeting was held and was
confirmed in the afternoon or evening
by the hotel managers, who told their
guests what TO expect. This paper could
have legitimately published the whole
story, but out OF consideration for Mr..
Young it merely announced the pur-
pose of the meeting, having taken the
preeaution. the evening before, to no
tify him of that purpose.

KNOCKING THE
VOLCANO TRIP
Pr0mOti0nistS Accuse Hotel
Managers of Using the
malIet.

From Alexander Young down, the
hotel managers of Honolulu are dis
suading tourists from taking the inter
island trips said Chairman F. L.
Waldron at the meeting OF the Promo
tion Committee yesterday afternoon. Il
want to bring up this action on the
part of the hotel management of Ho-
noiulu Of discouraging the tourist trips
TO the Island of Hawaii Ii is a short
sighted policy ON their part and one
on which the Promotion committee
ought to go on record as opposed to-

our literature and are then told that
the Volcano trip that we are adver-
tising Is not worth going to, that there
is nothing to see and that the trip IS
an unpleasant one, 1T hurts our work
and leaves the tourist in position
where he does not know whether anN
of our advertising can be believed or
not -
The outspoken remarks of the chair
man came as a kind of a shock at the
end of a rather eventless meeting, at
tended by all the members OF the com
Inittee The sentiments of the chair
were shared apparently by all the
other members except w. E Brown, who
went on record as saying that he did
not believe that Mr. Young personally
was among the knockers, having exten-
sive interests On Hawaii and the other
islands and being interested in their
development,
4" Manager ChiIds, of the Hawaiian,
IS one who 1 know is doing all that
he can to keep people from going to
the Volcano, . stated W. T. Lucas, who
quoted 4. c. Baumgartner, Of San
Francisco. as saying that the knocking
OF the trip had almost persuaded him
TO leave for the mainland some weeks
ago instead of visiting Hawaii with a
party OF tourists He did make the
trip, in spite of the reports Of the
discomfort he might expect and comes
back with the opinion that he would
not have missed 1t for anything.
Mr.. Palmer, an agent for the sale of
Volcano excursion tickets, was also
quoted by one of the members as
stating that he had been told to keep
out of the hotel lobbies and not at
tempt to interest the hotel guests in
any out of town trips.
]. A. AfeCandless thought that this
was a matter clearly within the pro
vince of the committee and moved that
a letter be sent Mr.. Young, calling
his attention to these facts and asking
him what the policy of his hotel man
ayers was in the matter. The motion
was seconded by J. L. McLain, and
passed after some further discussion,
In which the chairman remarked that
the people of HiIo and the other IS
lands were contributing TO the support
of the committee and it was due them
that their interests be properly pro
tected-

SILLY FAKE ABOUT
BREACH Of FAITH

Some of the people who are charging
the Advertiser with breach of faith in
printing an advance notice of the meet
ing of the two hotel companies to con-
slider the closing of the Hawaiian and
the Moana hotels are invited to con
slider the only pledges this paper has
made in the matter, as embraced IN
the following note to DIR. Young;
Honolulu, Jan. %, 1908.
- Hon. Alexander Young.
my Dear Sir: Since seeing you
yesterday and considering what you
said, I have concluded to treat the
subject of the temporary closing of
the Hawaiian and Moana hotels as a
casual matter of news, not sensational
ia form and with the purpose of saving
the reputation of the town as popu-
lar resort, and this irrespective of what
the other Honolulu papers may see fit
to do.
