 Books for Club Opened Today

A company that should prove to be Globe when once it is firmly established is now being formed locally by Seere tary F. l.. Toombs of the Globe Real Estate office and other interested peo ple. This new enterprise will be known as the Globe Gymnasium company, in corporated. It is being organized with the idea of providing Globe with a mod ern and perfectly equipped gymnasium building and beginning this morning, the people of this city who are interest ed in athletics of any kind will be given an opportunity to obtain by subscrip- tion lifelong privileges in the organiza tion together with the privilege of sell ing their share in the company, if, in ease of change of residence or for other reasons, they should ever desire to do so.
 The proposition offered to the Globe public is nothing less than to take over the Dreamland theater, at present one of the most popular, roomy and well built places of amusement in the city. It has been found by the organizers and other people less directly connected with the plan that this theater can be purchased for 27,00O. This price will include the building 90 feet wide by l25 feet long; a lot l25 feet wide by l25 feet long and much equipment of var jed nature.
 The cost of the building and equip ment as it stands aggregates over S2s, 900. A moderate estimate assumes the land on which the structure stands to be worth s7,0O0. Thus, the total value of the building, equipment and land is shown to be about $35,000 or $S,000 more than the new company will take it over for.
 The Globe Gymnasium company will be organized with capital stock of $30, ,000 and 300 shares at $l00 a share will be issued. Every member of the company is required to hold at least one share of stock. With each share of stock goes a, lifelong membership in the company, including the free priv ileges of the gymnasium.
 Stock may be purchased, according to the plans of the organizers, either on payment of $l00 share, with dis count of $S share for cash or by the payment of $l00 in ten monthly pay. ments of $l0 each, without any dis count Subscriptions will be received this morning, by the First

National bank, the Globe Real Estate office and by J. l.. Alexander.
 When the new company is organized and the theater is taken over and equip ped, it is. probable that it will be rent ed frequently for dances and other pur poses, thus giving the members of the organization an opportunity to realize enough ready money on their invest. ment to- keep the property perfectly repaired and equipped.
 That the idea of forming a gymnas- ium club on the plans outlined will fill a long felt want in the community and appeals strongly to many of the prominent business men of Globe is indicated by the following testimonials by President J. N. Porter of the First National bank, President A. G. Smith of the Globe National bank, and by Vice President P. F. Greer of the First National bank
 President J. N. Porter says:
 "'l have examined the plans for the organization of the Globe gymnasium and heartily approve of the move Moth ing could be better for a young man than to be associated in an organiza- improvement and amusement As to the financial end of the thing, l can say that the plan is entirely equitable and that the property is well worth the money for such purposes
 President A. q. Smith of the Globe National bank commends the plan of the new company in the following terms:
 "The organization of a gymnasium for Globe is q step in the advance ment of the moral and physical uplift of the city.
 "The plan outlined to take over Dreamland is one to be taken advantage of and should receive the financial sup port of all who are able to advance the project"
 Vice President F. F. Greer of the First National bank expresses his opn. ion of the proposed organization as follows:
 ''I believe the values given in the above statement to be submitted to sub. scribers are correct and moderate. l also believe the property to be better adapted to the use of gymnasium club than any that could be obtained at any such figures. have subscribed for membership and am glad of tbe chance"

MAY FORM NEW
LAND POLICY
Frear Is CoIlecting..lnforma
Concerning History OF
Homesteads.

Governor F'rear is out after informa-
ton concerning the history of the
homesteads of Hawaii, upon which he
expects to base his future land policy.
1t is going to be some work to get the
desired information, but it will be of
much value when obtained.
The Governor has had prepared a
list of questions on blank forms, the
answers to which will virtually tell the
entire history of every homestead that
has been patented since 1895. These
include questions as to the names, ma
tionality and age of the original home
steaders and what they have done with
their land, whether they have been
successful or not, whether the land has
passed from the original patentee, and,
if so, whether into the hands of other
private individuals or of corporations.
There are about 1000 homesteads that
have been made since the Land Act
of 1895 went into effect, and it is pro-
posed to get the entire history of each
of these. Later on the tracing of the
homestead history may be extended
farther back to take in the homesteads
under the Land Act of 1885.
All this is in line with the policy of
manning the land" which is being
slowly, but surely, developed. In order
to be able to act intelligently in each
individual instance, Governor Frear
wants accurate information. The sta
tistics collected under the question
blanks, which will be sent out to the
various land commissioners, will all be
tabulated and put in such form that
they can be readily referred to when
wanted.

ISLAM TEMPLE To
COME To HONOLULU

Chronicle.-The local Islam Temple,
at a meeting held Friday evening, was
invited by the Aloha Temple of Ho-
nolulu, through its potentate, Charles
&c. Boclus, to attend the ceremonial
session to be held by the Hawaiian
shrine during the latter part of No
vember in the crater Of the active
volcano, Kilauea.
The invitation was discussed favor
ably and a committee including Will
liam Croker, potentate; George Fill
mer and J. A. Klein, was appointed to
take up the matter with the members
of the local temple individually.
It was decided that if 200 members
give their assent by next Monday, the
steamer Queen will be chartered to
take the party to the islands, and leave
here on November 6. Among the
many who have assured Boekus that
they will attend the session, is William
Crocker, who is potentate of the local
temple.
7. S. McCandless, the popular Ha-
waiian clubman, will arrive here on
Tuesday from the East, and assist
Boekus in working with the local tenn
pie in the preparation of its plans, if
it is decided to attend the Hawaiian
ceremonies.

CONGRESSMAN
HAD PRIVATE PEEK
Trio of Lawmakers Made a
Hack Trip Out to a
Plantation.

A day or two before the Congress
siona1 party left Honolulu for the
mainland, trio of Congressman, COM
posed of Messrs. Dawson, Miller and
Padgett, took a hack and drove over
to sugar plantation. They returned
after a brief view of the plantation,
and particularly of the laborer's quar-
tiers, and on returning to town an
nounced that the plantation laborers
are living in unsanitary quarters, etc.
Mr.. Dawson put his ideas on paper and
they were published in the Advertiser.
Some of Mr.. Dawson IS colleagues
felt that he was rather radical in thus
summing up the alleged condition of
the plantation laborers, as others had
also inspected laborer's quarters on
other plantations and did not arrive
at the same conclusion.
One Congressman, who made a rath-
err close study of conditions here, an
nounced that he intended camping on
the trail of another of the Congress
men and if he heard him make state
ment on the floor of the house rela-
tive to his views of laborers condi-
tions, he would be ready with a
reply.

NEW PASSENGER SHIP
IS NOW ASSURED

The following story in the Chronicle
of the addition of a passenger freight
steamer for the American Hawaiian S.
S. line, confirms the announcement
made here few weeks ago by Freight
Agent Morse:
Negotiations extending over two
years have resulted in the decision of
the American Hawaiian Steamship
Company to build 6000-ton steel pas
senger steamship for service between
the Hawaiian Islands and San Fran
cisco.
Since 1907 the citizens of the islands
have been endeaypring to induce the
big freight line to engage in the pas
senger business A number of PROPOSE
tons have been submitted by the
steamship company, one of which pro-
vided for the organization of a hold
ing company with capitalization OF
81, 00O,0 200, considerable part of which
1t was proposed should be subscribed
by island residents.
Upon what basis the new steamer
viii be constructed and operated is not
known, but it is said at the offices of
the American-Hawaiian Company that
the line will not engage in the regular
passenger business. This is taken to
mean that the new steamship, which
will be christened the Honolulan, will
be constructed by holding company
and operated under contracts for pas
senger and freight traffic by the
Ameriean-Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany.
According to present information no
definite ideas have been formulated as
to the especial type of vessel. It prob
ably will have twin screws and triple
expansion engines. In interior design
and appointments it is planned to have
the Honolulan compare favorably with
some of the large steamships which
are now plying between San Francisco
and the island metropolis. It will have
accommodations for about 200 cabin
passengers and considerable freight
It is announced also that the Ameri-
ean-Hawaiian Company has contracted
for the building of two freight steam
ers. the Kentuekian and the Georgian,
each of 5000 tons capacity The steam
ers will be of steel and of twin screws.
These, together with the HonoIulan.

the band through the mainland has
been very successful one. For one
week in New York they crowded the
Hippodrome TO capacity and were well
coined as warmly in all the other large
Eastern cities.
Warned as they were repeatedly
about the different kind of illuminat-
ing mediums they would run up
against, two of the members of the
band insisted on blowing out the gas
before retiring and were entirely make
when discovered the next morning.

ENUMERATORS
IN GREAT
DEMAND
Taking of Census Will
Require Army of
Men.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.--About
be needed for the thirteenth decenrial
census Of the United States, including
Hawaii and Porto Rico, according TO
estimates prepared for Census Director
Durand by Geographer Chas. S. Sloane
of the census bureau, in whose divi-
sion the enumerators' districts are de-
fined and fixed. This is an increase
Of about H. 900 over the number Of
schedule carriers in the census of 1900.
Director Durand points out that the
per diem enumerators in 1900, accord
ing to the provisions of Section Is of
the Act approved March 8, 1899, were
required to work ten hours day, but,
In the act providing for the thirteenth
and subsequent decenniaI censuses, the
time is fixed at eight hours day. This
reduction in the daily hours will re-
uuire an additional number of enumer-
ators in the portions of the country
in which the per diem rates will
prevail.
The present census law requires that
the enumeration of the population shall
be taken as of the fifteenth day of
April, 1910, and the enumerators must
forward their returns to the super
visors within thirty days from the
commencement of the enumeration, ex-
ceps that in any city having FIVE thor
sand inhabitants or more at the pre-
ceding census, the enumeration shall
be completed within two weeks.
In looking into the details of the
estimates. Oklahoma and Washington
are conspicuous, as they will call for
about 800 per cent. increase over the
1900 force of enumerators.
Pennsylvania will continue in the
leadership having slightly the largest
number of enumerators; the 1910 force
being estimated as 5000 against 4720
in 1900. New York is second with a
probable 5000 for 1910 as compared
with 4541 in 1900 Next will come
Illinois, then Ohio, Texas. Missouri,
