The Hawaiian gazette., 1910-06-17


]. L. Mclean, chairman of the Ha-
waii Promotion Committee, resigned
from that body yesterday, not only
from the Craftsmanship but from mem
bership, and his resignation will be
accepted when his successor is chosen.
Mr.. Mclean, in rendering his resigna-
ton at the regular meeting of the COM
mittee yesterday, stated that he ex-
pected to leave next Wednesday for
the mainland on a three months vaca-7
tion, and he felt that the interests of
the committee required new member
to replace him so that the meetings
would be attended by the full member
ship. The resignation Of Mr.. Mclean
was accepted with deep regret by all
the members.
Mr.. Mclean has been member of
the committee for about two, years and
chairman since w. A. Bowen departed
for the mainland. He has been very
active member of the committee and
as chairman has expedited business in
very satisfactory manner. Mr.. Nc.
| Lean is the odd member of the board,
two being representatives of the. cham.
Der of commerce, and two of the mer.
| chants association, these four electing
the odd member.
Looked Like a Boomer.
R. II. Trent, city treasurer and mem
| Der of the committee, who recently re-
4 turned from London where he went to
secure a signature in a valuable land
| transaction, reported on his trip with
reference to his visit to the promotion
committee bureau at Atlantic City. He
| arrived on the night that the comet g
tail was expected to swish the face of
the earth and the entire Atlantic City
Boardwalk was dark in honor of the
comet, which was allowed to be the
only attraction in Atlantic City that
/ night. However, he found the Hawaii
headquarters and found Secretary Wood
and Lloyd Childs with their coats off,
working like beavers. Mr.. Trent ex-
pressed the opinion that the Hawaii
headquarters would be the most attrac,
tive on the Boardwalk. Mr.. Wood
already had a magnificent display of
Hawaiian curios and the picture of the
volcano had been arranged in the back
of the room, with lights playing upon
it, in front being platform for the
Hawaiian music boys.
s"Therc will be nothing like il along
the Boardwalk, nothing to equal it
for novelty and oddly said Mr..
Trent.
He reported having visited Los An
geles and coming across ST Clair Rid
good. formerly manager of the Hale
iva Hotel, conducting Hawaiian curio
store in portion of the offices of Peck
Judah company. He had very at
tractive display, and was in a location
where thousands of people visited. He
was furnishing pineapple drink called
the "Honolulu Special,' which he
added was one of the best he had found
on his tour.
