MERCHANTS FAVOR
RECLAMATION
Pass Resolutions Asking Aid of
National Irrigation
Congress.

Territorial Forester Hosmer, who
will represent the Territory at the Ma.
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress at
Spokane, will carry with him an Off
eial request from the Honolulu Mer-
chants Association, asking that every
effort be made to extend government
reclamation work to this Territory.
At yesterdays meeting Of the asso-
citation, the following resolution was
unanimously passed:
. In view of the extreme Importance
OF a securing large element of Amer
lean farmers in this Territory, and the
practical difficulties in the way of ac-
eomplishing that result, except by the
reclamation of arid lands.
Be it resolved by the Merchants
Association of Honolulu, that the sew
enteenth annual Irrigation Congress be
and is hereby earnestly requested to
take appropriate action fav9ring the
extension of the United States Re
clamation Act to Hawaii
Hosmer was present at the meeting
and, at the invitation of the members
present, gave brief outline of the
present status of affairs and explained
something of what it is hoped to ac-
complish. Said he, in part:
9 The reclamation fund amounts to
$50,000,000 and is independent of Fed
eral appropriation. There were origin
ally sixteen States entitled to receive
benefit under the Reclamation Act, but
last year this was expanded so as to
include Texas. There is no reason why
we should not reap some of the benefits
of this act here in Hawaii. When Sec
rotary Garfield was here the matter
was put up to him, and the result was
that Director Newell, of the Reclama-
tion Service, was sent down here to
look over the ground.
ssNewell s conclusions were that
there are considerable areas of land
the interests of the sugar industry,
which can be reclaimed through irriga-
ton, and that people can be brought
down here from the mainland to make
their homes ON that. land
Districts like Kula on MaUi, Wal
mea, and the stretch between Kona
and Kohala on Hawaii are examples.
There are many other localities equal
" promising.
but before the reclamation work
can be extended to this Territory, it is
necessary that a thorough examination
of the land be made 1t was for this
reason that the reclamation bill re-
quired that one quarter of the amount
raised by the special tax shall be de-
voted to making photographic map
of these islands. Experts viii soon
come down here to commence work on
that survey, and all will then be in
readiness for the exclamation law to
be put into effect
ssMy reason for going to Spokane is
that the National Irrigation Congress
is perhaps the most influential body
having to do with irrigation projects
in the United States. This Congress is
made up delegates from states, terri
tories, counties, cities, irrigation ssso
Citations and so forth. Many senators

BUSINESS MEN
Will BUILD
ARMORY
Merchants Association
Comes to Aid of
Militia.

Determined that The National Guard
of Hawaii shall have suitable headquar-
tiers in this city despite the failure OF
the last Legislature to make an appro-
priation for an armory, the Honolulu
Merchants Association yesterday after
noon saddled itself with the task of
raising the necessary money.
The first suggestion was made by
former President George w. Smith,
chairman of the committee on leglsla-
ton. He prefaced his remarks by
reading a letter from the Assistant Sec
retary of War to Governor Frear, IN
which the necessity for action on the
part of this Territory in regard to her
defenses was urged.
In the letter the Assistant Secretary
stated that, under the new law, the
National Guard is part OF the trst
line of defense of the country, and
that the States and Territories should
make every effort to render it effective,
providing suitable armories.
ssThe California legislature, reallz-
ing the necessity for assisting the Ma.
fional Guard. appropriated $450,000 to
build an afmory in San Francisco
said Mr.. Smith. f" No provision was
made for site, however. The people
of San Francisco determined to have
that armory and they raised, by private
subscription, $250,0Oo, within a very
few days, for the purpose of buying a
lot. -
The member then urged that a com,
mittee be appointed to canvass the sit
uation and bring to the attention or
the business men of Honolulu the neees,
sity for providing suitable armory
for the National Guard Of Hawaii. I'M
mediate action was neeessitated, said
he, by the fact that the Federal gov
eminent has taken over the old drill
shed as a quartermaster IS storehouse.
Mr. Smith thought that a committee
should be appointed to secure guar
antee of sufficient money to erect a
suitable armory, stating that the Fed
eral or territorial government can be
looked to to supply the land.
81 believe that we should recognize
the efforts of the Federal government
TO provide suitable protection for this
outpost in the Pacific, and should show
some desire to help ourselves. IF we
raise this money, it can Ut fail to
make a good impression on Washing
ton, as it will demonstrate that we are
not interested in the Army and Navy
simply as means of increasing our
revenues said Mr.. Smith in conclu-
sion
The suggestion was made by R. J.
Buehly that IT might be a good plan to
start a subscription list right on the
spot, but the general impression was
that plans should be secured and an
estimate of cost drawn up before TAX
ing any steps toward money gathering.

SUSPECTS
IDENTITY OF THIEF
Who ROBBED HIM
August Schwabe Thinks He
Could Point Out Discrim=
mating Plunderer.

Mystery surrounds a robbery which
occurred on Friday night in the studio
of August Schwabe, 917 Broad street
Paintings to the value Of 81, 700 were
stolen. The theft was committed by
some one who realized the value of the
work, none but the best efforts of the
artist having been taken. Captain Car
roll, of the detective bureau, would not
give out any of the details today, but
Mr.. Schwabe told @ STAR reporter to-
day that he was reasonably certain of
the identity of the person who had
committed the theft. His studio was
protected only by an o~ld-fashioned lock,
and for this reason was easily entered.
In selecting the stolen paintings. the
thief, or thievessle unmolested portraits
of some prominent Newark society
women. The paintings stolen were for
the most part of landscapes n other
paintings OF a similar kind that would
be likely to afford a ready sale.

NEW YORK April 26.-Miss Adele
Boas, the missing daughter of Arthur
e. Boas, of this city, was found on
board a train arriving from New Eng
land this afternoon. and was taken to
the home of her father in this city.
Little hope was expressed by Mr..
Boas, a rich silk manufacturer, today.
that his daughter would be returned
to him as a result of a Boston clue in
the case. He declared that the descrip
ton of the girl, as communicated from
Boston, failed to correspond in sew
eral particulars with that of Adele.
The parents of the girl geared that
she had been kidnapped for ransom.
but the police inclined to the theory
that she ran away, as she drew all
the money she had in bank a few
hours before she was missed. Some of
her schoolmates say that she had COM
planned of dizzy speels and had fits of
melancholy which lead them to sus-
pect she had committed suicide.

LOSES HIS SUIT
AGAINST ESTATE
OF MRS. SUYOAM
Court Holds Attorney Cannot
Charge for Other Law
yer's Services.

That a lawyer, when executor of an
estate, has no right to charge it for
legal services done by other lawyers
in connection with the management of
the estate. was the opinion rendered by
Judge Davis in the Orphans Court to-
day in passing on the final accounting
of the estate of Louisa Suydam, of
which Harris d. Colt is executor. Mr..
Colt is a lawyer, a member Of the firm
of Curtis allett- Provost & Colt. of
New York. and put in a bill for legal
services rendered by other lawyers COW
ering the management of the estate
since January, 1908.
Judge Davis, fortified by several au-
thorities, decided to allow the executor
commissions Of $4,000, less 1915 made
for legal services, leaving $l,325 net,
saying "the executor will not be allowed
for money paid to counsel for such
work as he in contemplation of the
law is bound to perform himself even
though such work be actually per-
formed by counsel"
