cheered themselves hoarse.
When the band came there was a pa
rade two blocks long and ten to
twelve deep, around Fifth to Front
street and on Third and back on Bea-
con, with the band playing "A Hot
! Time in the Old Town Tonight" q"
Marching Through Georgia" and SINH
lar music, while one continuous cheer
was contributed by the paraders. The
medicine man, the reViValists and
everybody the parade passed, with two
exceptions, broke up their occupations
and Joined in. Even the picture shows
had to quit business. for there was
more doing outside than inside in San
Pedro last night.
There were more speeches, The
crowd insisted on hearing from the "oIl
Warhorse,' Secretary A. P, Fleming,
who gave full credit to the San Pedro
consolidation committee and their CO.
workers in the harbor city for the re-
suit achieved. They called on City At
torney Hewitt, who was cheered Justify
as our city attorney and who
pledged the honor of the larger city for
the carrying out of the promises ad-
Vanced by the consolidation committee
of Los Angeles, pledge which was re-
ceived with vigorous cheering.
Joseph RI. Call to Front
DIR. Weldon called on Joseph III. Call.
who directed attention to new
thought adding to the Importance Of
the consolidation movement.
Have you ever realized" he asked,
that no other city in the United States
owns and can control deep water har-
Dor save our Greater Los Angeles, a
situation which you have made posi-

am glad that you stand with the city

The depth of the feeling Of sarisfac-
ton at the result was more marked
than any description can indicate. Citi-
zens who had been telephoning down
to learn the result left their homes
and came to join in the celebration and
express their pleasure at the outcome.
The voters came and their wives came
with them, and they made crowd that
will rank with the big celebration at
the harbor front.
1t was not in any sense q superficial
celebration. In the eyes of several of
the older residents, who have hoped
for two decades or more to throw off
the yokes, there stood tears of joy at
seeing the realization of what they
had dreamed for and at times had al
most despaired of seeing established.
Luke Kelly Turned Down
A result of the overwhelming consoli-
dation victory almost as pleasing to
the decent people of San Pedro as the
joining of their city with Los An
geles, is that by their great triumph
they forever wiped out the disreputable
political machine from which their
town mas been suffering for so long.
This machine gave them the "solid
three" of their present board of trus-
tees, who abolished the Sunday closing
laws and ran the town wide open with
every vile element in the ascendant.

GREATER PROSPERITY FOR
THE ENTIRE SOUTHLAND
by WILLIAM ID. STEPHENS

This really wonderful victory spells
renewed and larger prosperity not only
for the consolidated city of Los Angeles,
but also for every city and hamlet in
Southern California. 1t is satisfactory
reward for every man that has worked
for almost twenty years to make great
and free harbor for Southern California.
1t surely means not less than One-half
million of population by 1915, and full
million by 1925.
The tremendous vote east and remark
able majority given In all three cities
consolidated shows how farsighted and
sound In judgment are our people. To
the newspapers Is due a very considerable
portion Of credit for the splendid victory.

CORNERSTONE Of
PR|ORY PLACED
Continued from Page One.)

Bishop Staley was appointed a mem
berN of the Board of Education of the
Kingdom, and in 1865 rules were adopt
ed by the Board, which rules had been
drawn up by the Bishop, The Ha
waiian government had carefully con-
sidered the value of boarding schools
for girls and a system of capitation
grants was devised, the intention be-
ing to encourage the formation of
schools for girls and to aid in their
maintenance. One of the rules men
toned above read as follows: econ
WINGED that religion is the basis of all
sound moral training, the Board ex-
poets that such schools shall be con
Quoted on Christian principles, but it
leaves to their directors full discretion
as to the form Of Christianity they
may feel it right to ineuleate y
The result of this action of the Board
led to the multiplication of girls schools
on the Islands, so that in three years
there were five times as many girls in
boarding schools as there had been be-
fore. 1t may be mentioned that the
Priory never received any capitation
grant.
The need for these schools is power
fully brought out in reports made at
the time, showing the condition of
morals on the Islands.
The sisters and wives of the Anglican
clergy from the first devoted them
selves as much as they could to the
training of Hawaiian girls, both in Ho,
nolulu and Lahaina. In what is now
the Refractory of the Priory, Miss
Mason and Miss Ibbotson, sisters of
clergy then in Honolulu, conducted
day school for Hawaiian girls, which
some now present attended.
Sisters of the Society of the Holy
Trinity had left England in September,
1864, and had commenced work at La
haina as soon as they reached the Is
lands. In the spring OF 1865, Mother
Eldress Catherine returned to England
in company with Queen Emma, taking
two Hawaiian girls with her. Sister
Bertha and Mary Clara were left in
charge of the work in Lahaina. In
January 1867. the Lady Superior of the
Order, Miss Sellon, left England with
a new supply of workers among whom
were Sisters Beatrice and Albertina.
They reached Honolulu on March %.
Miss Sellon at once expended for the
and the purchase of land, the sum of
1400 pounds or $1,000. This money was
from her own resources. She received
the thanks of the king in person for
her gift.
On Ascension Day 1867. st. Andrew s
Priory was dedicated and named. An
impressive ceremony was held at the
coral cross now standing which was at
tended by many who are now living,
including the Sisters, Mrs. s. S. Robert
son, Miss Florence Robertson. now Mrs.
Lawrence, Miss Elizabeth Robertson,
now Mrs. T. A. Schaefer, Mrs. Har-
greaves, and others. A procession was
made around the property and an ad-
dress made. Sister Bertha was placed
in charge of the Priory which opened
with eleven boarding pupils and about
the same number Of day scholars. The

ported to incite the less informed class
of our community. The Higher Wage
Association at last joined hands with
thugs and bIackmailers. A most de
plorable situation was brought about
and still exists. This is what the
Shinpo and the Chronicle most strongly
resent.
Mr.. Shiozawa, the first proprietor or
the Shinpo, bears in his forehead a
wound which testifies to his brave fight
TO suppress the then powerful rule OF
the japanese secret societies of loafers
and blackmailers.
If any encouragement should be given
to them now, the rule of the black
mailers would be easily reestablished
to the menace of the lawabiding Japan
csc and the citizens In general. The
combination of newspapers with these
elements is deplorable, and should
never be allowed Against this is the
fight now waged, a fight which should
receive cooperation from the genera
community.
The question of higher wages IS an
economic question, pure and slmpiej
and should be dealt with with a proper
sense of responsibility and correspond
ing responsibility.
We are afraid, if the present agita-
ton is kept up at any further length,
real anarchism will prevail among the
less thinking class and the new spirit
among us of Cancellation and assimila-
ton with the American people will come
to an end.
The charges of spying for the white
people or receiving subsidy from the
planters are too ridiculous to be spe-
officially answered.

When the transport Buford left port

ever played here. The Constabulary
band assembled on the after deck play

IN the open air, was fine Each selec-
ton was greeted with applause and
cheers from very large crowd on the
dock. In fact, the rumor that the band
would play as the vessel departed
brought an unusually big crowd to see
the vessel off. At the conclusion of the
concert the band arose and stood while
1t played the Star Spangled Banner.
The band, however, was not alone in
making demonstration for solid
