TO BE CELEBRATED

Old Plaza Church and Spanish
Entertainment Given
Later

In commemoration of the hundred
and twenty eighth anniversary of the
founding of Los Angeles, appropriate
exercises will be held in the old Plaza
church August 16. 1t is considered by
the old settlers that religious exercises
in the Plaza church will be one of the
most effective methods of celebrating
the growth of Los Angeles from a
small Indian settlement to one of the
foremost cities of the United States.
For a number of years before Los
Angeles became city there was set
tlement near the present site of the
Plaza church, about which the first
adventures and explorers to the great
western coast made their early homes.
At 10 o'clock on the morning of Aug
ust Is solemn high mass will be cele-
brated in the historic church by Rev.
Father ]. Caballeria, pastor.
The sermon will be in the nature OF
retrospective picture Of Los Angeles,
and special music will feature the oc-
casion.
The novel feature of the days cele-
bration will be an old-fashioned Span
ish entertainment, to be held in the
patio of the church on the night OF
August 16.

Church Membership 1000
DR.. Burdette assumed the pastorate
of the Temple Baptist church in July,
1908, at the time of the organization
Tt1I tGa
day of the first public service, the
church had 1874 names on its member

popular pastor the membership list
numbers something more than 1000.
From the time the pastor preached
his first sermon, when he took for his
subject, Assured Prosperity" pros
perity was assured to the church, and
the congregation afteEward erected
the magnificent edif1ce at Fifth and
Olive streets, the fame of which has
spread all over the Christian world.
The retirement Of DR.. Burdette is not
only of local but of national interest,
as there probably is no pastor in
America today who has spoken more
to the people, and who still voices a
message for the world, than Robert j.
Burdette. During the term Of his pas
torate in Los Angeles his appeal has
been city wide and his power has
spread far beyond the bounds of his
own denomination.
He infused into his sermons a subtle,
human note of inspiration, touched
with a homely humor, not Unlike that
with which the martyred Lincoln
gripped and held the heart OF the ma
ton. DR.. Burdette declares that, while
he will not be able to preach regularly,
his work is not finished and that he
still has a message for his people.

The HAWAII LEADS
GOING AND COMING

The yacht Hawaii not only made
good in the whole rqce to and from
Kahului but outds nced her compe-
titors on each leg OF tie cruise. She
showed as conclusively as possible that
in any old sort of weather she can
show her heels to any local competi-
tor on a long sail. While there are
away from her in certain weather on
short cruises, it is plain that the chal-
lengor is alone here in her class on the
high seas
The first yacht to return from Ka-
hului was the Gladys arriving in port
near last midnight Some three hours
later the Hawaii appeared on the hori-
zon and crossed the finishing line at
$3.50 this a. M The Concord. which
was not far behind, arrived at the
same point at APO. The Kamehameha
did not get in until about 1880 and
the Luka was sighted off Diamond
Head at S:45, arriving about 10.
The Gladys, which was not regularly
in the race, left Kahului at 10 o'clock
in the morning. The Hawaii, Con
cord, Kamehameha and Luka left TO-
gether, crossing the line at Kahului At
3:59 yesterday afternoon.
The voyage over from Honolulu was
without special incident, all of the
boats except the Concord hugging
well to straight course In this
they were aided by a stiff, favorable
breeze. At Kahului the visitors were
met in turn by the Maui committee,
headed by j. N. S. Williams, and ten
dered a royal reception.
The big, general reception took the
form of a chowder on Saturday even
ing. AboVt seventy were present,
hncluding the Maui commDitee and
visitors. ]. N s. Williams ofiiciated
as toastmGster and delivered in a
happy vein, the address of welcome.
This was responded TO by Commo-
dore c. II. Wilder. After that the
captains of the different yachts res
ponded to cries of speech and In
turn each member of the visiting party
made his little spiel. In the speech
line, however, Admiral George
c. Beckley easily won the laurels In
fact the applause was so great that

ably be settled this week, though a
slight delay has been occasioned on
account of the press of work thrown
on Hemenway by the Japanese strike

PAY
FOR JONES
ADJUTANT- GENERAL WILL DRAW
DOWN TERRITORIAL MONEY
FROM TWO OFFICES.

From the present indications it ap-
pears that when Col. j. Walter Jones
takes the position of Adjutant-G Gen
eral of the National Guard of Hawaii
on July /, under the act of the recent
Legislature he will not do so at a
financial sacrifice as was supposed
but will have his pay considerably in
creased thereby. The Legislature ap-
propriated the sum of 5000 per month
for the salary of the position, it being
stated that the work had so increased
that it would occupy the entire time
of the incumbent of the position. Since
Col. Jones was receiving a salary of
SITS as stenographer of the Circuit
Court, in addition to which he re-
ceives fees for the preparing of trans
cripts etc, there was some doubt in
regard to his acceptance of the posi-
tion.
Governor Frear announced last
week that Col. Jones would accept
the new position and it was under
stood that he would resign from his
court job. Col. Jones will take
the Adjutant-Generals position with
the salary of 5000 but will also keep
his present position. though he will
no longer be on a monthly salary.
When asked who would be the ap-
pointee in the place of Col. Jones as
Court stenographer Judge Robinson
stated that it had been arranged with
Governor Frear that he should keep
the position, handling the work on a
Per diem basis That is when hf
worked he would receive daily pay and
when there was nothing going on in
court he would receive no pay.

miral was talking about.
The people of Kahului and Wailuku
were untiring in their efforts to give
the Honolulu sailors a good time while
on shore: and it goes without say

hospitality-that the stay there was a
constant round of pleasure and all re-
gretted the arrival of the time when
the departure for Honolulu was at
