Gentlemen: Some time ago, after the
citizens of Honolulu in public meet
ing assembled, at which was present
a representative of the Federal gov
ernment from Washington, had decided
upon the Mahuka site as the best To-
cation for the proposed Federal build
ing, we subscribed the sum of 1000
to assist in obtaining that site for
this particular purpose. Upon your
assurance that everything had been
satisfactorily arranged to- this end, we
paid the above named sum. There
was no condition made as to the time
when the building should be erected,
as that was necessarily left to the wis
dom of Congress, but there was the
definite understanding and agreement
that the money subscribed by us, ana
others, was for the purpose of placing
the land in question in the hands of
the Federal government for the spe-
cific purpose mentioned. 1t now be-

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION

When the meeting of the Merchants
Association was called to order, after
the reading of the minutes, President
G.. w. Smith told of the reason for the
meeting. A letter from George B.
Mcclellan, telling of the attempt to
exchange the Mahuka site for the Irwin
site was read and debate followed.
President Smith spoke of the meet
ing at the Young Hotel and read special
cablegrams published in The Star.
Robert Cation said that he was in
the minority and liked the Palace
Square SITE Messrs. Warren, White,
Hertsche and several others favored
the Mahuka SITE
Mr.. Wakefield said that he favored
the Palace Square site but that it was
not question of site but of whether
the public should allow itself to be
overridden by Mr.. Irwin, who seemed
to be getting very fine bargain
out of the Federal government or the
public. He said that under the pres
ent conditions he was changed to favor
Mahuka site.
w. c. Peacock stated that the
\ change was an absolute outrage, dis
honesty. Mr.. Barsch seconded this
as breach of faith and unfair to the
merchants.
F. T. P. Waterhouse said that the
public should protest against the secret
methods which had been used.
The resolutions presented are as fol-
lows:
WHEREAS, The Merchants Asso-
ciation of Honolulu has learned with
surprise that, without knowledge OF
the citizens of the Territory, a secret
transfer of the site for the Federal
Building has been attempted, and
WHEREAS, The site for the pro-
posed Federal Building, known as the
'Mahuka Site" was selected by, Q)

Secretary Winthrpp was very much
disappointed with the selection of a
Federal building site in Honolulu. Mr.
Winthrop said that as it was to be a
building for the accommodation of all
the Federal offices in Honolulu, the
Treasury department did not regard
the Mahuka site as being suitable.
Mr.. Cooper said he asked Mr.. Win
throp if it would meet the approval
of the department should the site at
Palace Square be made available.
Undoubtedly" Mr.. Winthrop re-
piled. The Federal Government would
be very favorable to that site.
This was his first interview with
Mr.. Winthrop. He telegraphed to Mr..
Irwin to come to Washington. Mr..
Irwin was unable to come at that time.
Mr.. Cooper then asked Mr. Winthrop
if an exchange of the Palace Square
lot for the Mahuka site would be sat
isfactory. Mr. Winthrop replied that
it would be satisfactory in every way,
also that it would not interfere with
the appropriation for the building.
Mr.. Irwin telegraphed to do moth
ing until he arrived.
Secretary Garfield was seen later,
who asked how he was getting along
and expressed himself as pleased with
the proposed exchange 1t was in ac-
cordance with the policy in all cities
to have the Federal building in the
civic center.
Mr. Irwin arrived on Saturday
evening and met Mr.. Winthrop on the
Monday following.
The resolutions offered were referred
to special committee of five to report
on Monday.
! F. M. Swanzy, A. Gartley, J. NJ
Dowsett, J. A. Kennedy and F. J. Low
