OUT OF CHAOS

Mr.. McStocker stated that there
might be chances to rrune estimates.
The churches had promised to make
no charge for what use might be made
Of their buildings by the men for let
ter writing.
How much are the saloons going to
charge for the use of their buildingsg"
asked George r. Carter.
Mr.. Peek finally got the floor and
stated that the finance committee had
carefully talked over the matter of
subscriptions and had decided that
fifteen thousand was about the size
of the town. Continuing his remarks.
he stated that he wanted to have a
committee appointed with some power
to do something, suggesting that the
present executive committee be re-
named the Governors Committee and
that another executive COMMITTEES with
power to veto and decide be ap-
pointed.
This motion. after being plastered
with amendments, was finally passed
in such shape that the dominant COM
mittee consists of the following: Act
ing Governor Mott-Smith, James F.
Morgan. George W. Smith. ]. P.
Cooke. H. P. Wood and L. Tenney
Peck.
George R. Carter thought this was
a good committee Tor the pruning and
eliminating business. The most mis-
cradle three months I ever spent in
my life was in cutting down esti-
mates" he said. 1T is easier to boost
them than to cut them OUT
F. B. McStocker stated that the sue
cess of the entertainment did not de-
pend on the number of dollars spent.

was carried out.
THE ATLANTIC" FLEET.
Judge Cooper suggested that now
the committees were getting down to
business it was time to commence call
ing the fleet by its right name. So far
it has been known on the committee
stationery and correspondence as the
Pacific Fleet" whereas the proper
name was the Atlantic Fleet" The
Judge did not want to have the street
banners and invitations and other
printed matter all wrong when the
ships got here.
The chairman agreed with him. ex-
planning, however. that the wish to
have it a Pacific fleet probably
brought about the mistake.
HOOKUPU AND BALL
Some of the general features of the
were then discussed,
the proposal for a grand hookupu in
the Capitol grounds being received
with favor. although the question was
raised OF the ability of the island to
supply sixteen thousand men with all
the fruit they wanted to eat and carry
away. IF we cam" said Mr. Carter,
1T will be better than anything else
that has been suggested"
Mr. Carter outlined what he thought
ought to be done, which was to have
i've or six large booths under charge
IF prominent ladies and with plenty
IF young lady assistants to hand out
rruit. sugar cane, cocoanuts and other
ocal edibles as last as the men called
for it. He was pleased with the idea
because it would give everybody d
chance to contribute fruit who might
lot be able to otherwise contribute,
and it was as well an affair typically
Hawaiian.
There was some little discussion con-
,erning the officers ball, the general
of opinion being that such
an affair should be a subscription one,
while the dances for The enlisted men
should be public functions paid for
1ut of the general fund
TOLD TO GET BUSY.
