LEGISLATURE MUST
PROVIDE ARMORY
MERCHANTS AGAINST
THE SUBSCRIPTION IDEA.
Meeting Of Association Yesterday
Afternoon Declared in Favor Of
the Construction Of Home for
Guard,

The meeting of the Merchants Asso.
citation yesterday afternoon adopted
with a unanimous vote the favorable
report OF the committee appointed to
investigate the proposal for the con.
struction OF National Guard Armory.
Colonel Soper declared that there
was no question about the necessity
of maintaining the National Guard
at an efficient standard. but that
this would be accomplished by en-
couraging the men and providing
them with an armory. He declared
that the National Government had
provided the guard with the latest
model of Army rifle and with other
valuable property and that II was
debt that Hawaii owed TO the
Government TO provide suitable ac-
commodations both for the men and
the property.
Referring to the report of the
special committee appointed TO in
vcstigate the proposal for an Arm
DRY, George w. Smith stated that
the members of the committee were
strongly in favor of the erection of
an Armory and drafted their report
in accordance with those views. The
report was read and was finally dis
posed of by being adopted with the
understanding that It be printed
and that an agitation be begun so
as to influence the next Legislature
toward making the necessary appro-
rriation.
The prevailing sentiment at the
meeting yesterday afternoon was
that the Territorial Government was
the proper source from which to
expect an appropriation of the funds
necessary for the erection of Ma
tional Guard Armory in the city Of
Honolulu
That an armory is needed imme-
diately was conceded but the man
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1909-08-14

ner of obtaining the funds was an
other question which the members
present did not feel able to deter
mine with flnality. The report was
adopted and will be printed in pam
phlet form and also referred to the
Chamber of Commerce, the senti-
ment OF the meeting being that IL
was the plain duty of the Legisla-
ture to provide an Armory and that
educational work should be imme-
diately begun among the public SO
that a strong sentiment Will be
worked up by the time of the con-
venins Of the next Legislature in

Committee's Report.
The text of the report was as fol-
lows:

dent Merchants Association.
Sir:-Your Committee to which

Hon. w. +. Frear, the Superintend-
ent OF Public Works, Mr.. NJ. Camp

from whom they learned.
i. That the Federal government
is prepared to deed TO the Territory
what Is known as the Drill shed"
property, which can be used for the
purpose of an armory site.
2. That the Federal government
expects the Territory of Hawaii to
maintain a National Guard as a part
of the national defense and provide
suitable housing for same as well
as for storage and care of the arms
and munitions of war. which are
furnished by the Federal govern
ment. IS
3. That, Mt the present time,
arms and munitions to the value OF
$4,000 have been supplied by the
Federal government for which there
is no proper place for storage or
care.
4. That an armory is very much
needed. t1) for the foregoing pur-

it will he because the other man
carries harder punch.
Cordell wants this fight. and he
wants It bad, too. he Is leaving for
the coast in few days and GER
tainly does not want to go back
there with defeat registered
against him.
On The face OF things 1t really
looks as II the fight will be a rat
Ting good 90 from the start, and II
Il is not all over by the eighth
round, II should then go the limit.
Both men are clever enough to pro-
tcct themselves from Il Knockout,
and unless there has been big slip
up in the training of one of the men
that We are not aware of. the two
scrappcrs should lie on their feet at
the end.
The fight Is sure TO be attended
by Il huge crowd. and the old IA
miIior ring-side faces will be in evil
dense II was thought at first that
some OF the regular fans would have
to miss the contest, as big dinner
was scheduled for tonight, and some
Of the prominent sports we're billed
for the event.
Hlowtver, 1t was discovered in
time that some member were away
on the other islands. and II was de-
cided to postpone the dinner until
after the -- no. not fight return
of the members from their travels.
To sum up the eight. CorAoI' has

the better in-dGhtcr; Dick also is,
in II way, better man to train than
