SAYS HONOLULU is
GREAT SHOW TOWN
Magician Prophesies That Many
High Class Attractions
viii Come.

'sThere are hundreds Of people in
Honolulu who will willingly patronize
frst-class attractions, and if you strive
to give the amusement-loving public
what 1T wants it will Loyalty support
you, said Charles j. Carter, the magi-
clan, yesterday afternoon. "There is
no city IN the world of its size, and
you know have seen them all, that
compares with Honolulu as an amuse-
ment center. just think of it, we
played to capacity at almost every per-
torrance, and what is more remark
able about it the people came to see
my performance the same night that
others of the city crowded the Orpheum
to hear the Constabulary band. Our
matinee yesterday was far above ex-
pectations and l understand that the
Philippine band also played to a crowd
ed house. 1t is seldom that people in
city of this size will turn out and
divide their patronage as literally as
they did IN the cases of the band and
my magic performance.
Ny success in Honolulu means
much for the island in the wav of
securing tirst-elass attractions. II will
give me great pleasure to tell others
of the remarkable business / did here
and IN turn 1t will mean that other
attractions will have no hesitancv in
the future in stopping off here

Captain Elliott, I. S. A, chief of the

Elliott will probably make recommends

Captain Elliott was an officer of the
Eighth California Volunteer regimen<
at the outbreak of the Spanish war,
and passed into the regulars, being af-
terward transferred to the commissary
department.
The commissary section handles all
the "'chow" supplies, as officers gem
orally term the canned goods and eat
ables, kept handy for them to purchase
at low rates. The army quartermaster
handles equipment, clothing and such.
The establishment of a commissary
bureau here probably means that the
time is not far off when Hawaii will be
erected into separate military de-
partment.

General Pershing at Leilehua.

Brigadier General Pershing, U. s. A..
was the guest of honor of the chamber
of commerce yesterday on an auto tour
of the island. He was accompanied bv
Mark 2. Robinson, representing the
chamber, and Colonel Jones, adiutant-
general of the National Guard of Ha-
wall. The party went to Haleiwa.
passed up into the pineapple section of
Wahlawa, and then went to Schofield
Barracks, where the general was re-
celved with honors, including a salute
from the lone gun at the foot of the
flagstaff, and selection or two from
the post band. General Pershing ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with the
site of the cavalry post.
The party visited Oahu plantation on
the way back to town, reaching the
transport dock at five O'Clock. The
auto with the general had to make a
special trip to the Moana hotel, where
Mrs. Pershing and the children were
waiting. The party reached the dock
again just as the ropes were attached
to the gangplank to lower it. He had
little opportunity for leave-t akings, for
impatient ship officers at the top of the
gangplank motioned him to get aboard
quickly.

NEARLY READY
FOR BIC GUNS
Continued from Page one)

Major Winslow has received no in
formation as to when the great guns
will be shipped here, but as the war
department has shown a deep interest
in progressing the fertilization works
as rapidly as possible, it is likely that
soon after the first of the year they
may be on the way from the main
land.
Pearl Harbor Guns.
At Pearl Harbor, where two twelve
inch guns are to be erected in what
win be known as Battery Selfridge,
named after the young lieutenant who
lost his life in an aeroplane expert
ment at Fort Myer last year, Major
Winslow has finished one emplaeement
and one gun is practically mounted.
Both gun carriages are mounted and
one gun is in process of being placed.
Both will be ready by November 10.
So far no magazines have been built
and until such a structure is erected
the guns viii lie idle. No troops have
been ordered here, as yet, to man this
battery.
Barracks at De Russy.
It is unlikely that any buildings for
troops viii be erected at Fort De Russy
before July of next year. The duck
ponds have yet to be filed in and on
this new-made land the barracks and
officers quarters are to be erected. The
Hawaiian Dredging Company, which
has the contract to fill in the duck
ponds, is just a little overdue in start
ing to work with its dredger. This
dredger, the Pearl, which is to be en-
ployed in pumping in dredged material
from the reefs in front of Fort De
Russy. is not quite ready, some of the
parts having arrived late. 1t viii be
in readiness soon for active operations.
Meanwhile, the company has laid its
pipe lines and everything is in readi-
ness ashore to connect up with the
dredger.
No Word About Harbor.
As to the military works on the reef
on the Waikiki side of Honolulu har-
Dor channel. Major Winslow has no ad
vices as to what is to be done. Gen
eral Murray, chief of artillery, was
here short time ago and took away
considerable data on the proposed
works to be erected there. but nothing
has resulted from their presentation tc
the war departmemnt at Washington
1t is supposed that it will soon be de-
eided to erect battery on this reef.

Naval System of Economy.

A consolidation of stores under the
naval supply fund, new idea in naval
administration, was recently put into
operation on the battleships Connect
cut, Minnesota, Georgia, New Jersey
and Vermont, and the armored cruisers
West Virginia and Colorado, and has
proved money saver. Money alIot-
ments were provided for each ship s
department, and in order that methods
OF economy might be encouraged, a
comparison of the cost of maintenance
under the older system on vessels of
the same type was directed to be made.
The result shows that the average per-
centage saved on each of the seven
ships on which the system was tried
was forty-two. The estimate is made
that if that plan were instituted
throughout the Navy there would be a
saving of something like $750,000 in
year on the basis of expenditure dur
ing the time the system has been in
vogue on the vessels named.
