A protest was made about the slur
cast upon the roads Of Honolulu by
Seattle people. A party OF wealthy
citizens of this city had determined
To visit Honolulu this winter and
had arranged to bring their autonfo-
bile with them. but at the last mo-
ment were advised by friends not to
do SO. as the roads were so bad. The
result was that the auto was lott
behind. The party have arrived in
Honolulu and are staying at wal
liki. They are very much ineensed
with their friends on the mainland
for having told them about the bad
state Of the Island roads, as they con-
slider them excellent.

In the general discussion which
followed at the close OF the meeting,
the captain of the Cleveland was GEN.
sured for his arbitrary conduct In
failing TO stop and pick up the mem
bers OF the various launch parties
who took the trouble TO go out to
meet the vessel. Pilot Sanders stat
ed that the captain OF the Cleveland
said that the launch parties could
come aboard his vessel upon arrival
at the dock. Or. Sinclair was head
to say that as the Cleveland had been
delayed too long by the doctor, he
deemed II advisable to go to. the
wharf as soon as possible and thus
left the launches to follow.
The captain of the Cleveland was
heard to say that the crew and pas
sengers of the Cleveland had never
been examined by health authorities
in such a rigid manner as In Ho-
nolulu, and did not see the necessity
of having any such examination con-
Quoted on his vessel. He was, how
ever. made to comply with the rules
and regulations of the port, much to
his disgust.
DR.. Sinclair shouted from the
Cleveland that the launches with
their bands of music and wreaths
of leis were such an attraction to
the passengers on board that the
examining doctors had the greatest
difficulty In getting the people as
semb!ed, hence the undue delay. "
1t was unanimously decided that
the members of the Promotion Com
mittee will not again go out in
launches to greet and decorate in
coming passengers, rs this last OK
perience was too much even for good
potured people to put UP with.
