CORE and HALE
BOTH ARE LIKED
Difference OF Opinion Exists
Regarding Best Site for
City Hall.

With regard to a suitable location for
the proposed municipal building, senti-
ment seems to be pretty evenly divided
between the Gore and the site on Mer-
chant street now occupied by Honolulu
Hale. While there are many persons
who believe that all of the public build
ings of Honolulu should be grouped in
a civic center near the Capitol, there
are many others who think that the
City Hall should be further downtown.
On one thing most people seem agreed.
That is that wherever the City Hall
may be located, the magistrate IS court
should be within It's confines. There
seems to be a general feeling also, that
the police station and receiving hospital
might very properly and advantageous
ly become an integral part of the new
municipal building.
With the view to ascertaining the
popular feeling with regard to the most
suitable site for the building, an Adj
vertiser reporter made round of the
downtown business section yesterday
afternoon. In response to his query

RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS
: MAY BE BROUGHT HERE

Governor Frear yesterday morning
held a conference with A. w. Perel-
strous of Vladivostok in regard to Rus
sian immigration. Mr.. Perelstrous has
already had meeting with the Board
of immigration and if a suitable agree
ment can be reached he may undertake
to bring several thousand Russian i'm
migrants into this Territory. So far
the project seems to have met with
approval.
Perelstrous is the man who built the
great naval drydocks at Port Arthur
for the Russian government. He also
took prominent part in the construc-
ton of the Transsiberian railway, hay
ing brought many thousand workmen
from European Russia out to handle
the construction work. In search of
less rigorous climate than that of the
plains of Siberia, he has come to Ha-
wal on a vacation.
Mr.. Pereistrous first became inter
ested in Hawaiian affairs some two
years ago through James Low, brother
in-law of Captain Matson and former
manager of Aiea plantation. Low met

NO MORE BILLBOARD
ADS FOR HAckFELDs

Billboard advertising in Honolulu
seems destined to take a slump in the
near future If the discontinuance by
Fl. Haekfeld & Co., Ltd, the largest
patrons of that style of advertising in
the Territory, is to be accepted as
straw indicating the direction of the
wind. Georg Rodiek, director in the
company and manager of the merchan-
disc department of that large establish
ment, said yesterday:
We have been considering for some
time the idea of disseminating advertis-
ing on billboards and combining the pub
Iielty OF the firm to the newspapers.
Ihere are several reasons for this de-
parture, one of which is our satisfac-
ton with the results attained through
the newspapers. / realize, too, that
there is growing opposition to out
of-doors publicity, such as billboards,

much to make everything beautiful.
The dissatisfaction has gone so far as
to partake of the flavor of a boycott
OF the goods advertised on dead walls
and IN every nook and crannie of the
town. cannot say that it has as
sumed serious proportions and, as far
as 1t concerns our business, we do not
mean that it shall We believe. how

dents, its wishes should have serious
consideration.

Ileve it has grown with the inroads
the billboards have been making in the
residence section. Mr.. Hamburg, for
instance, takes a purely aesthetic view
of the matter. He opposes any form
of advertising which tends to hide
spot that has been made beautiful bv
nature or at the hands of man. He
has had fear for some time that he
may come down to breakfast any morn
ing and find staring him in the face

the use of billboards as advertising
mediums on August first, and may use
the money that has been spent in that
kind of publicity in newspaper adver-
tising'

PLATTsBURG, N. Y, July T.
Dwelling upon the part played by the
Iroauois Indians in the early history
of America, Senator Root in an ad-
dress replete with historic facts, paid
a high tribute to Samuel de Champlain
and to those French soldiers and ex
plorers who shared in the early strug-
giles for America. Senator Root
pointed out the influence which the
events attending the discovery of Lake
Champaign 300 years ago had upon the
issue of the great struggle between
France and Great Britain for the con
troll of the continent; "the struggle
between the two white races for the
opportunity to coionize and expand and
between the two systems of law and
civil polity, for the direction and de-
velopment of civilization among the
millions who were to people the vast
region extending from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the Rio .Grande to
the frozen limits of the North. -
Relating the events of the trip made
by Champlain late in June, 1909, ac-
companied by few white companions
and a great array Of Algonquin In
dams, Senator Root told how, at the

CHAMBER SOON
WILL HAVE
HOME
The Trustees Meet and
Discuss Building
Project.

Unless present plans miscarry, the
proposed new home for the Chamber of
Commerce will cost $125,000. Shares in
the enterprise, valued at 800 each, will
be offered for sale to members of the
Chamber at par. In this way it is
believed that large part of the money
necessary can be raised. The balance
viii probably be secured by issuing
bonds The $125,000 will be used to
purchase the suggested site at King and
Bishop streets, and to erect suitable
building.
The matter was preached at meet
ing of the trustees yesterday afternoon
and was discussed at length. At the
close of the meeting, President Morgan
felt very sanguine oyer the outlook.
The site at King and Bishop streets,
which President Morgan hopes to Sc
cure, can be purchased for about $780,
900. The estimated cost of the build
ing is placed at $4,000. 1t viii be on
this basis that the undertaking will be
financed, though quite a bit of leeway
has been allowed for such expenses as
can not be figured on in advance
With a reasonable amount of the
capital stock subscribed, and the sue.
cess of the undertaking assured, it is
believed that the concern can be bond
ed for at least $65,o00 and thus the
necessary money secured with which to
commence building operations. AS the
enterprise is of public nature, it is
hoped that money can be secured at
five per cent.
The plan is to erect reinforced con-
crete structure, combined store and
Office building. The ground floor would
be available for high-class mercantile
enterprises, while the second story
would be fitted up as offices. The plan
is to have these offices the finest and
most attractive in the city.
The third floor is intended as the
home of the Chamber of Commerce.
Here would be large assembly hall,
capable Of seating fully 500 people, exs
hibition hall, directors room, presi-
dent s Office, secretary's office, and such
other administration offices as would be
necessary. Thus the Chamber of Com

THE MORTARS
WERE LET
Cd
First Test Yesterday of
Guns in the LOca!
Defences.

The first test of the big twelve-ineh
guns of the Diamond Head mortar bat
terry was made yesterday afternoon,
when all of the huge coast defenders
were discharged in the direction Of
Waialae. Full service charges were
not used, but the guns will be fully
charged today for the conclusion of
the tests.
Half and threequarter charges were
used yesterday, the angles of elevation
being sixty and forty-fve degrees.
Major Winslow expresses himself as be-
ing fully satisfied with the results OBJ
tanned.
Some people in the city knew that
the guns were to be fred and made
preparations accordingly, opening their
windows and removing choice glass
ware and bric-a-brac from shelves from
which it might be thrown by the con-
cassion. But many others were taken
entirely by surprise. 1t made no par
ticular difference in any case. The dis
charge of the big guns caused little
more commotion than does the blasting
that goes on daily along the water
front and at Kaimuki. No damage of
any kind was done and comparatively
few people who heard the shooting
knew that the Diamond Head mortars

plain s party came upon a war party
of the Iroquois the French explorer
fired his arquebus upon the Indians.
1.-THE shot from Champiain's arquebus
had determined part that was to be
played in the approaching conflict by
the most powerful military force
among the Indians of North America.
1t had made the Confederacy of the
Iroquois and all nations and dependen
cies the implacable enemies of the
French and fast friends of the English
for all the long struggle that was to
come. -
The superiority of the five civilized
tribes and their systematic form of
government were given by Senator
Root as two of the primary causes for
the ultimate defeat of the French and
their Indian allies by the English and
the Iroquois. Speaking of those In
dams, he said they, of all the ln-
habitants of the New World, were the
most terrible foes and the most capable
of organized and sustained warfare;
and of all the inhabitants north or
Mexico, they were the most civilized
and intelligent.

.HARBOR REPORT
At WASHINGTON

Referring to Major Winslow's re-
port on the reestablishing of the lines
of Honolulu harbor,. George B. Nc
Clelian writes from Washington as
follows:
A few days ago the Chief of En-
gineers asked me to visit the War
Department to examine the report on
the lines of Honolulu harbor as made
by Major Winslow The report as
submitted establishes the lines on APP
proximately their present location in
Guiding the Youmans slip, but more
definitely fixes the lines by reference
to land marks.
Should this report be in any way I'M
satisfactory to you [ ask that you cable
me to that effect at once as otherwise
the report is likely to be approved at
an early day.
I yesterday presented Mr.. A. j.
Campbell to the President to discuss
the proposed immigration work of the
Territory and we are now engaged IN
presenting the matter TO the various
departments for their approval.

BANK Of HAWAII
To TAKE BONDS
kula Pipe Line Securities Are
to Be Disposed of
Locally.

There is not going to be any un-
necessary delay in preparing for the
construction of the Kula pipe line and
the improvements te the harbor of
Honolulu, authorized by the last Legis.
lature. The 100000 worth of bonds
to be issued by the Territory to defray
the cost of the two improvements will
De taken IN their entirety by the Bank
OF Hawaii, which has made an offer to
the Territorial Government of 9s.a5, a
materially better price than was OBJ
tanned at the last sale of Territorial
bonds, which were disposed of at 9s.15.
The bid of the Bank of Hawaii has
been accepted by the Territory sub
ject to the approval of the bond issue
by President Taft, required by the
provisions of the Organic Act and
purely matter of form. The request
for the necessary authorization will go
forward to Washington on the Korea
Tuesday.
As an additional incentive for
promptness in concluding the necessary
prelimlnaries incident to the sale of
the bonds, is the fact that the condi-
lions of the pipe market at the present
time are particularly good from the
viewpoint of an intending purchaser,
and the Territory naturally wishes to
take advantage of the comparatively
low prices that now prevail. As a
consequence, Marston Campbell, the
4Seeretary of the Interior for short, y
will advertise for bids ON the pipe for
the Kula line, with the proviso as to
the approval of the bond issue by Pres
ident Taft.
Harbor improvements.
Marston Campbell yesterday stated
for the first time the nature of the
improvements to the harbor that will
be undertaken with the 100000 of the
bond issue to be allotted for that pur-
pose. A new wharf will be con-
strueted next to Navy No. /, and a
needed extension will be made to the
wharf now given over to the uses of
the Matson Navigation Company. The
shed on the Hackfeld wharf will be ex-
tended and seawall constructed from
the foot of Nuuanu avenue. The other
work to be done will be in dredging
about the slips, and any minor i'm
provements considered necessary in the
