Three Generals Will Decide on

WASHINGTON. February 16.-Gen-

the army and Commander Maxwell of
the navy left yesterday for Panama to
select sites for the fortificat ions which

eral Crozier, chief of ordnance, and
General Marshall will follow shortly.
The location of the canal fertilization
will rest practically in the hands of
these officers. who will also report on
the size and number of the guns needed.
1t is the intention of the government
to make Panama as nearly impregna-
BILE as possible that the canal may not
prove menace to the United States
in case of war.
There was considerable agitation in
congress at one time to have the canal
zone declared neutral and left without
Notifications but the plan did not meet
with general favor.

How Pacific Mail Treats Denver
People Who Desire to
Come Here.

Lobby Statistics.
ONE OF THE MANY EXAMPLES

c. S. Card, president of the Card Iron
Works of Denver, and at present a
guest with his wife at the Royal Ha-
waiian Hotel, cared to come to Hawaii
so much that he was willing to wait
one year to get here. That is the ex
act length of time it took him to get
a booking to Honolulu from the Colo
RADIO capital.
Mr.. Card stated yesterday that the
only mainland Hawaiian steamship line
represented in Denver is the Pacific
Mail. 1t was to this company one year
ago this winter that he applied for
bookings to Honolulu. and it was one
year ago this winter that he was turned
down for the first time He went some
where else for his vacation that year,
where trust begotten coastwise laws
didn t hamper travelling facilities. This
winter he tried again, and during No
vember and December of 1909 he APP
piled for bookings three times. He
was each time turned down by the
company with the information that
there was no room for any one wishing
to 90 to Hawaii.
Finally, through the influence OF
friends connected with the Union Pa
cifc, he did secure bookings. the day
before Christmas, to leave on the Man
churia, which sailed from San Fran
cisco Thursday last.
After arriving here he went down to
Hackteld 4 Co. local agents for the
Pacific Mail company, to arrange for
berths back during the latter part of
March, He was told that he could not
be given definite bookings, but that
he could enter his name and be notified
when the steamer left Yokohama
whether or not there would be room for
him.

yesterday, ARE we'll acquainted with
Hawaii. When we were about to leave

A cablegram in the above words was
received Yesterday from Delegate Ku-
bio BY Governor Frear. The proposal
set forth in the message comes as a
surprise to both sides of the prohibition
struggle, as it was not anticipated that
congress would go so far in Difference
to the home rule sentiment as to pass
the prohibition question entirely up to
the legislature of Hawaii 1t was
thought that the people were to be ask
ed to vote upon whether or not they
wished congress to pass a prohibition
Oil. But congress goes farther and
pats it up to the electorate of Hawaii
TO decide whether or not they wish
their own legislature to enact an anti
liquor law.
Governor Frear yesterday expressed
MS qualification that the joint resolu-
'on IS to include an appropriation to
pay the expenses of the special election.
There IS now on hand a territorial ap-
preparation Of $4,000 to pay the ex-
pehses of the next regular election. but

pay the expenses OF the proposed spe-
eial election, it would be necessary. in
