MONUMENT IN LAHl|NA
To MARK kAKAAkO SPOT

Those who have been looking over
the bills passed by the last LegisIa-
ture to see what was ordered to be
done that has been left undone,
through lack of funds or otherwise,
are indulging in a little quiet chuck
ling over the measure duly passed to
erect suitable monument at Lahaina
to mark the spot where the first CON
stltutlon of the Hawaiian Islands was
signed. Six hundred dollars We're
appropriated for this monument Look
ing over this bill casually, there seems
TO be no reason for merriment, only
the spot where the constitution was
signed is down in Kakaako, Honolulu,
and there is some little incOngruity in
building a monument in Lahaina to
mark the spot which remains in Ka-
kaake. The appropriation viii not
admit of bringing Lahaina down to
kakaako, nor of transferring the spot
to the ancient capital.
This bill is along the lines of the
one intended to provide mausoleum
for the remains of the present ex-
Queen, but which was drawn So as to
specifically exclude her.
When the spot bill and the mauso-
leum measure were mentioned recent
ly around the Capitol, the intimation
was given that the Legislature will
be advised not to repass either of
them or any other measure calling for
money for things not absolutely nee
eSsarv.

WILL BUILD GARAGE
FOR MOANA HOTEL

Alexander Young will build garage
for the Moana Hotel on the property
facing the hotel and directly in front
of the power-house. Tie garage will
be large enough to hold six or eight
machines in row. It will not be ar
open garage like TIE one opposite the
Young Hotel, but is intended mainly
to store machines owned by guests of
the hotel and for any machines of Mr..
Young's downtown garage which he
may desire to keep out there for the
use of guests. At each end of the
garage there will be a two story strue-
ture, so that guests from the mainland
who bring their machines along, ac-
companied by chauffeurs, may have
quarters for the latter, close to the
machines.

ONE MAN RULE
BEST FOR
CITIES
The Idea of Commission
Government Is
Spreading.

"The movement in municipal gov
eminent now is to invest more and
more power in fewer hands, stated
the Hon. Milton Reed of Fall River,
Massachusetts, in the course Of an
able address before the Civic Section
of the Men s League of Central Union
church last night, an address in which
he pointed out the absurdities of the
present form of the average city gov
eminent in distinction to the advan-
tages to be derived from government
by commission.
"American cities today are poorly
governed he said, "with absurd sys-
tens of government. What we want
is some sensible central form of gov
eminent, such form as is supplied
in the Galveston idea, the Des Moines
idea, that of government by commits
Sion. The rotten fact of the present
system is that we hold no one respon-
sible in municipal affairs; the power is
too diffused. There is no one to be
held responsible when things go
wrong; 40 one to commend when
things go right. The shame of our
cities is that there is no sense of per-
sonal responsibility"
Let the people elect mayor and
then leave it to him to run things, is
the substance of Mr.. Reed 3 explana
ton of what sensible, centralized
government of a city means. This is
the Galveston system, which is gov
erned by mayor, elected for four
years, who appoints the heads of the
city departments and holds them re-
sponsible to him for the management
of their departments. Municipal en-
ployes are responsible 10 their depart
mental heads, the heads are response
BILE to the mayor, and he is responsible
to the people. The responsibility OF
the people is in the way they vote, and
the sense of responsibility is develop
ed when by their vote the people put
their affairs in the hands of one man.
Under such system business princi-
pies prevail.

ORDER Of PARADE
PLANNED OUT
Cavalry Will Lead---Govern0r
and Mayor Will Take
Leading Parts.

Director I. II. Petrie, with the assist
ance of other members of the general
committee of the Washington Birth
day Floral Parade, yesterday drew up
the order of march for the procession.
This morning he will accompany r. X.
Bonnie, the motion picture expert, and
l.. Petrie, marshal of the parade, to
kapiolani Park, where the reviewing
grounds will be laid out to Mr.. Bonnie s
satisfaction in order that he may be
enabled to get the best results in pic
lures OF the assembled parade
The order in which the parade will
march. subject to possible alterations,
is as follows:
squadron Fifth Cavalry, led by Mount
ed Cavalry Band
Royal Hawaiian Band Gin tallyho)
Hawaiian Processes and escort of 40
mounted children
Pau Riders ESQ to rs in three
divisions)
Hawaiian Fishes (bicycles)
st. Louis College Band lin tallyho)
Decorated Automobiles (ifty or
probably more)
Decorated Carriages unknown quantity
Floats dozen or more in sight)
Fire Departments
The parade will move from the Capt.
tol grounds promptly at ten o'clock
Will march ON King street to Bishop,
on Bishop to Hotel, an Hotel to Ala
kea, on Alakea to Beretania, on Bere-
tania to Thomas Square, on Kapiolani
street to King, on King to Victoria. At
this point the automobiles viii turn up
Victoria street to Beretania, out Bere-
tania to Keeaumoku, down Keeaumoku
to King, and thence by King street and
kalakaua avenue to Kapiolani Park.
The horse and vehicle portion of the
parade will close up and continue on
out King street from Thomas Square,
with the exception of the fire depart
menf, which viii turn back at this
poiut, and reach the park some time
after the automobile section.
Governor and Mayor in Line.
It is expected that Governor Frear
and his family will head the automo-
bile section of the parade, and place
will also be reserved for Mayor Fern S
auto, well to the front.
Kid Band. Perhaps.
Besides the three bands named above,
it is possible that the band of the In
dustrial School will also have place
Herr Berger, who has been drilling the
boys for the past year, is very proud
OF their progress and wants Honolulu
people to hear them, and it is possible
that arrangement may be made to have
them III attendance. 1t is said that the
youthful musicians really make fine
music.
Care viii be taken that the streets
are well sprinkled along the entire line
of march before the parade starts, SC
that none of the participants will be
troubled by dust, and the parade can
keep well together.
Assembling the Parade.
Between now and the 22nd, the Capt.
tol grounds viii be carefully measured
off and place provided for every en-
try. This place will be marked by q
numbered stake, which wpI correspond
to number which will be issued by the
committee to each person who enters 8
vehicle. The plan is much the same as
that Of last year, which worked well
except that more space will probably
have to be provided, as the procession
will doubtless be much larger this year
than last.

BIRD SLAUGHTER
BY JAPANESE
Midway Island Poaching Now
Arouses the State
Department.

Acting upon information that was
submitted to the Department of State
at Washington by William A. Bryan
OF Honolulu, the United States Gov
eminent is making a formal protest,
through the Toxic Embassy, in an eff
fort to put summary end to bird
slaughter by japanese subjects on the
American islands in the Pacific. The
diplomatic representations on the af-
fair grow out of the carrying of sew
eral japanese to Midway Island by the
cable steamer Flaurence Ward and the
thousands of birds that the party
slaughtered for the purpose of gather
ing feathers.
The diplomatic significance of the
matter is greatly heightened by the
fact that it is claimed that the bird
killing by the Flaurenee Ward party
and other japanese is in direct viola
ton of an agreement made by the
Government of japan.
, The letter that shows the State De-
partment is prepared to press the mat
ter in no uncertain way. addressed to

"Sir: Referring to the letter left
by you at the department, addressed
to you by Mr.. William butcher, pres
ident of the National Association of
Audubon Societies, on the subject of
the slaughter of birds for their feathers
by the japanese, the department has
this day sent instructions to the En-
bassy at Toxic to bring the matter to
the attention of the japanese Govern
ment, with view to prevent the con-
tinuance of the destruction of sea
birds on the American islands in the
Pacific by japanese subjects, and the
punishment if possible of the persons
responsible for the acts referred to in
the clipping of the New York Times,

BURTON HOLMES SENDS
FILMS FOR SETTLEMENT

Burton Holmes has shipped for the
people of Ka1aupapa, in care Of R. X
Bonnie, number of reels Of moving
picture film, including scenes taken all
over the world. This is the first con-
signment of film to be donated by main
land exhibitors, but il is expected that
when the machine is installed at ka-
laupapa and the delight it IS certain
to be to the people there demonstrated,
there will be plenty of pictures con-
tributed from time to time. A delay
in installing the dynamo has kept back
the installation of the machine, which
has been purchased and is all ready to
ship to the settlement. Mr. BONNIE ex-
poets TO go 10 Molokai within a very
short while, however, and give the first,

BURNED WHILE FIXING
4 GASOLINE ENGINE

While repairing a gas engine on the
premises of John Walker, near King
and Piikoi streets, last night about Z
o clock, NJ. King, foreman of the As
ISOLATED Garage, was badly burned
about the hands and arms by the ex-
plosion of the gasoline tank, and was
taken to the Queens Hospital for
treatment
A japanese woman was holding q
lamp nearby so that Mr.. King could
See the engine, and the flame com
munieated with the gases from the
tank, causing the container to blow
up. An alarm of fire was turned IN,
but the damage to the structure over
the engine was nominal.

It is understood that the Depart
ment of State has had the matter
under consideration for some time and
that the government authorities are
determined to put an end to the poach-
ing operations of the japanese "bird-
ing'' parties The Audubon societies
have been aroused to- action through
the reports of the great numbers OF
birds that have been slaughtered and
by detailed reports, showing the
methods employed and the harm that
would eventually result should the Jap
anese be allowed to continue on their
way without obstruction, that have
been filed at Washington.
