FILMS FOR
THE SETTLEMENT

Messrs. c. G. Boekus, Gerrit Wilder
and c. s. Crane, the committee named
/ to select and purchase moving-picture
| film for the machine shortly to be
taken to the Molokai Settlement,
watched R. z. Bonine exhibit a mile
or so of views and stunts submitted to
them for sale Mr.. Bonine had mt
his machine and his skill at the ser
vice of the committee, and the tests
of the various films were made in his
studio. There were several persons to
watch IN addition to the committee
men. including superintendent Jack
McVeigh of the Settlement and A.
Gartley, and the various pictures were
criticized as to their particular merits
for the desired use.
ANY pictures of saddening nature
were discarded Immediately, the ones
approved of and selected being bright
ly-colored illusion scenes of French
origin, battle scene or two, a gaudy
reproduction of a fireworks display,
and some travel scenes. One other
that pleased the committee showed
various scenes from Barnum & Bailey's
circus.
There was one picture shown that
is expected to make a big hit at the
Settlement. That was HScenes and
People of Ceylon," and the particular
piece that will delight young and old
at Kalaupapa shows three monster ele-
plants bathing.
1t is expected that Mr. Bonine will
leave for the Settlement shortly to set
up the machine and give lessons in OPP
Grating it, he having announced his
willingness to devote all the time nee
essary to seeing that the lepers have |
everything as up-to-date and in as good |
running order as is possible.

CONDEMN KAILUA JAIL.

The grand jury at Kailua, Hawaii,
after an examination of the Jail at that
place reported to the court that they
find that it is in such condition that
the detention of criminals there is at
tended with great danger of their es-
cape. The building itself is old and
should be condemned, as there is dan
ger of its collapse. When it happens,
as is often the case, that persons
charged with felonies are detained
there, not only is there danger of their
escape, but also that other crimes will
be committed by them in securing
their liberty.
1--WE would, therefore urge that i'm
mediate steps be taken to secure a
building that will meet the require
ments of this circuit, and will be con-
strueted of suitable materials

lean republics and European nations,
with ships on the Pacific.
Mr.. Loomis states that he looks upon
the offered opportunity as a grand one
| for the systematic displaying of the
| diversified agricultural possibilities of
the Islands, and suggests the POSSIBLE
ity of bringing here a number of rep
resentative American farmers to see
what Hawaii has to offer homeseekers
Frederick H. Newell Director of the
Reclamation Service, is another who
has taken up the proposition with ia
victories of 1912 with a celebration so
far removed from the scene of those
victories, but in place which time
has entitled the celebration to be
given, and at place where American
naval affairs are now Of such para
mount interest to the people, appeals
to him and he has offered his help at
Washington.
James F, Morgan, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, who had much
to do with the inception of the idea,
writes enthusiastically of the plan
from the Coast. 1t is his opinion that
the celebration could be arranged in
such way as to be of the very great
est benefit not only to Hawaii, but to
the whole American interests of the
Pacific. One of his suggestions is that
at that time the sehemedf for Congress
of Consuls could be held here, at which
the consular representatives from every
country bordering on the Pacific could
meet, exchange views and together lay
plans for the extension of Am erican
trade of the Pacific.
It is more than probable that Ha-
waii could have visits from one or
more members of the Cabinet at the
time. The Secretary of the Navy and
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor
could come consistently, and perhaps |
the Secretary of State could be present |
for the Congress of Consuls.
1t has also been suggested that con-
gressional assistance might properly be |
secured for such an event as the cele-
'bratinG of the opening of Pearl Har
Dor, financial assistance enough to pay |
the expense of bringing the House and |
Senate committees on naval affairs to |
Honolulu.
This plan has been talked over
among the members of the Chamber of
Commerce and it is altogether probable |
that steps will be taken at once to
bring about some definite action in the
matter.
