Letters From

BRITAIN NOT uNeRATErUL.

Editor Advertiser: English In
gratitude to Shackleton $50 reads the
heading of your utterly unfair and in
correct editorial in this morning s
paper Neither the Advertiser nor
yourself are to be congratulated on the
spirit of the article in question. The
world has been ringing with certain
wretched charges and assertions against
DIR. Frederick A. Cook by an eminent
fellow countryman and explorer, before
the latter had even first tried to as
certain the truth OF the conjeetures to
winch he had arrived, and the state
ments he made.
You, sir, will appear to many to have
placed yourself in an equally unen-
viable light by the punishment of the
editorial above referred to.
Perhaps, sir, you will permit me to
quote from the London Times, which,
possibly, may have more correct infor-
matioE in re the affair you speak of as
- English Ingratitude to Shaekleton, -
than the Kansas City journal, whose
version you take as the foundation of
your comments. The Times says: a. Mr..
Shackleton has received a letter from
the Prime Minister, informing him of
the government s recommendation of
grant of 100000 ($100,000) toward the
cost of his Antarctic expedition, and
adding that the government has been
induced to take this course as they are
much impressed both by the great value
OF the discoveries made in the course
of the voyage and by the efficient and
economical manner in which the whole
enterprise was conducted. -
The Times further adds; 'FMr. Shack
Teton expresses his appreciation of this
generosity. The $40 900 meets
all the guarantees given by Mr.. Shack
Teton for advances.
Trusting, Mr.. Editor, you viii give
an early insertion to this letter in the
Advertiser, | subscribe myself,
Yours obediently,
CHARLES F. HART.

!. NJ. {, 4. BUILDING
PROJECT DISCUSSED

One of the most enthusiastic gather
ings of business men that has taken
place in Honolulu for long time was
the one held last night at the resi-
project of raising 100000 during the
month of October, to complete a $780,
600 fund necessary to erect the pro-
posed new Y. NJ. c. A. building.
A few days ago George R. Carter, J.
P. Cooke, Frank Atherton, Richard Fl.
Trent and George T. Davies dined at
the Commercial Club and talked over
the need of new building with the
secretary of the association. This
dinner conference resulted in about
twenty-five men being invited to Mr..
Cookies house to consider a plan of
raising funds. The project met with
the hearty approval of every man pres
ent.
Since G. M. Cookies gift of $4,000
towards the new building, the directors
of the association have been planning
to secure an additional 100000 A
site committee, composed of ex-Gov--
ernor George R. Carter, R. Il. Trent
and F. J. Lowrey, set about to find
suitable site, and finally secured an
option on the piece of land on Hotel
street nearly opposite the present Y
NJ. G. A. and between the Elite build
ing and the library. The site has
nearly 102 feet front and about 100
feet depth, on which an admirable Y.
NJ. c. A. building can be erected.
An option on the site having been
obtained, an executive committee was,
appointed to provide for the raising of
funds, with George R. Carter as chair,
man, and J. P. Cooke, F. C. Anterior,
George T. Davies and R. FL. Trent as
his associates. This committee be-
ieves that the plan suggested by the
secretary Of the association should be
carried out, and called the conference
at Mr.. Cooke s house to go into the,
matter more fully. The evening was
spent in the discussion of four topics:
The need of a new Y. NJ c. A. build
ing; the features the new building
should contain; the plan of campaign
to secure the money; and discussion of
the proposed site.
Two points in the policy were def
nitely settled upon; first, the securing
of couple of strong committees, one
of business men and one of younger
men; and, second, banquet at the
Young Hotel at which the matter will
be presented to the leading business
men of the community. October IL was
the suggested date for the dinner at
the hotel, invitations to which will be
out some time this week.
A large representative committee viii
be organized at once, and the building
project presented in way calculated
to make the campaign a civic matter.

late yesterday received verdict or
$4,000 in her breach of promise suit
for 100000 damages against Dr..
Anibal Zelaya, u relative of former
President zelaya of Nicaragua, de-
clared today that she is well salts
fed with the verdict, although the
amount the jury awarded was much
less than she asked for.
what l wanted was n vindlca-
ton, not money dalncses," she said,
"and the fact that the jury agreed
that DR.. zelaya Tilted mo without
cause is gratifying to me. But the
amount is in no way compensation
for what / have suffered, or for the
mean pictures the newspapers print
Cd about me-"
1t was stated by Zelaya's attorneys
that they did not yet know If they
would appeal the case.

ON THE WANE
Nicaragua May Recognize
the Objection to Jose
Madriz.
BY United Press wire.


Corinto, Nicaragua, Dea 1S-The
despatch of the United States cruiser
Buffalo, with 400 marines aboard
from Panama TO this city, is ex-
pected to have an adverse influence
on the candidacy of DIR. Jose 'Madriz
to succeed Zelaya as president of
Nicaragua. The Buffalo will probably
reach mere Monday. 1t is announced
that the marines will not be landed
unless Americans i'm Managua, or
their property are menaced.
The recognized opposition of the
American government toward Mad
riz. by reason of his close affiliation
with Zelaya, has already had tend
ency to check the Madriz enthusiasm
and it Is hoped by the Americans in
the capital that IL will cause the
Nicaraguan congress to choose an.
other man for the presidency.
The only other man mentioned is
DR.. Julian Iriss, another friend OF
Zelaya, but not so closely allied
with the former president. Iriss
would probably be acceptable as a
last resort to the Americans, but the
hope is still entertained that the
United States will yet officially recog-
nize Provisional president Estrada.
The election of new president
will probably ta1e place Monday.

DENMAN AND
BOOTH AGREE
First Suit Will be Begun
Against Bondsmen of
McKinnon.
BY United Press Wire.


Columbus, o., Dec. 1S.-Attorney
General u. O. Denman and II. q.
Booth, special counsel selected for
the Harmon probe of state-house
graft, resumed their inspection OF
the books of the state treasury, Sat-
urday afternoon.
While no definite statements will
yet be made, IL is learned that the
prohers have found entries and COR
respondence indicating that several
banks paid interest TO the late state
treasurer, w. s. McKinnon, at pri-
vate account, on state funds.
1t has been determined by the law
yers to bring the first suit to re-
cover alleged graft interest against
the bondsmen of McKinnon alone.
His executor will not be Joined in this
suit. The purpose of this procedure
is to avoid delay, for If the execut-
or were to be sued, the action could
not be brought until specific
claim had been presented and the
executor allowed time in which to
allow or reject 1t. This would shut
off probing OF the books of banks of
the state to ascertain what has been
done with the public funds until the
executor should see fit to act.
Anoher method of procedure un-
der consideration is to bring suit
against the estate VI McKinnon for
an accounting of the dead man
when he was state treasurer BY this
method the state could allege that II
had no means of knowing what was
due It and this could only be de-
termined by an inspection of the
books of the banks in which Mckin-
non is suspected of having deposited
state funds illegally.
