MR.. WALLER HOME
FROM LONG TOUR

Hon. Gilbert j. Waller, after sur
prising his friends by not arriving in
the Mongolia YESTERDAY morning, sur
prised them again by arriving on the
Nevadan in the afternoon At San
Francisco he found the Mongolia to
be booked full, and, finding that the
Nevadan would arrive here at about
the same time, he decided to come on
that boat.
Upon leaving Honolulu Mr. Waller
called at the headquarters of his
church in America, visited other CEN
tiers and then sailed for Europe. At
ter spending a busy time in Paris
sightseeing, he went to England for
short stay, visiting London. He al
so travelled in Switzerland and Ger
many.
Aviation meetings were very fire.
quent in France" says Mr. Waller,
"and l was fortunate enough to be
present at two of them. At the Rheims
meeting several records we're broken,
among them the one for speed and
the longest duration of fight, when
an aviator remained in the air more
than five hours on Bleriot
monoplane. At this meet I witnessed
the rare spectacle of eight or nine
racing aeroplanes and monoplanes in
the air together"
Mr.. Waller reports most enjoyable
tour, although he has been on the go
most of the time. He gained nearly
twenty pounds in weight while away,
and looks remarkably well.
Upon arrival at his office this after
noon the pilgrim found his desk beau
tifully decorated with flowers, placed
there by his friends IN the employ OF
the Hawaii Meat Company, of which
Mr.. Waller is manager.

AND BONDS
/. IN NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK, August 10.-Signs OF
an increased disposition to sell stocks
appeared in Wall street today. These
were taken to mean that buyers at
the lower prices were uesirous to
convert their profits into cash. A
frmer tone was reported in the mar
ket for copper both in London and
New York in response to the improve
ment in the statistical position OF
that metal The policy of reduced
output by the leading producers is
accepted as a fact at present, but
there remains the fear that the con-
sumptive demand hitherto sustained
at high figures will be affected now by
the tendency toward recession which
shows in other industries.
Another item in the days metal
statistics was the statement of the
July output of gold at the Rand,
showing 36S,714 ounces, valued at
$13,565,415. Except for the 660,643
fine ounces of December, which was
affected by the adju stment of the pre-
vious years accounted residue, the
July production constitutes a record
month. The fact is not without bear
ing on the prospect for continued re-
Punishment of bank reserves through
the gold supplies in the London mar
ket. Time loan rates were shaded
in New York today, SIX months money
being placed at Az per cent.

A TRAIN LOAD OF
SUGAR OvER7URNS

The following from the San Fran
cisco Examiner of August II refers to
part of a cargo of sugar shipped from
the Islands via the Tehuantepec rail-
way for Philadelphia:
Seven carloads of sugar that had
been taken from the steamer Missou-
rian at Salina Cruz for trans-shipment
to the Eastern coast were scattered
along the Tehuantepec railroad for
some distance, as a result of the cap
sizing of the train on a steep grade.
Nobody was hurt News of the acct
dent was brought by the steamer Is
thmian, arriving here yesterday from
Salina Cruz, via San Diego with 1880
tons of general merchandise for the
American-Hawaiian Company.

BIC DECREASE IN
EXPORTS OF GOODS

WASHINGTON, August 1O.-Great
decreases are shown in the exports
, from this country during July last, as
. compared with the previous July, OF
I wheat, meat and dairy products, cot
ton, cattle, hogs and sheep and min
eral oil.
The greatest decrease was in wheat,
which revealed a falling off from
2,114,962 bushels sent abroad in July
1909, to only 575,13S bushels this
year. In cotton the decrease was
from SS,469, sos pounds to 5S,25S, O54
pounds In cattle, nogs and sheep
from $685. to $625,OO9; in meat
and dairy products from $10,042,7l6
to $9,322, 1853, and in mineral oil from
126,S7O,7S2 gallons to 112,4O2,S79 gal
Ions.
The total decrease IN July exports
of breadstuffs, meat and dairy pro
ducts, cattle, sheep and hogs, cotton
and mineral oil was from $36,316,331
to $3O,O63,O91, and for the seven
months ending with July, as com
pared with the corresponding period
of 1909, from 95,S2O,791 worth to
1899, 473,416 worth.

(par value), $1,422,0O0. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.
The Financier New York; of Au-
gust said
The New York associated banks are
still adding heavily to their cash re-
the statement of August 9th. taking
the report of actual condition as a
basis, showing an expansion of 3d.
951,5OO in specie and legal tenders.
This was a little less than the pre-
liminary estimates indicated and the
gain was rather offset by an increase
of $12,551 600 in loans. which. with
the increase noted, showed an addi-
ton of 21,513,6 500 in deposits. This
latter item, of course. called for
something over $5,OOU,OUO in the way
of new reserves so that the amount
carried forward to surplus reserve
was only S5,573,2OO. making the pre-
sent excess above the 25 per cent
legal minimum, $52,SOO,O0O, not only
the heaviest reserve reported in a
year. but far above the normal at this
time for years past. The rather rap
id rise in the loan item, which
amounts for two or three weeks past
to over $3000O,OO0, has been due not
only to special operations in the way
of transfer of syndicate interests, etc.
but to bank and commercial demands.
The trust companies and state banks
not in the clearinghouse reported
for the week a decrease of $3,516,3OO
in loans, a decrease of about 81 ,OOO,-
900 in cash, a very heavy decrease
of $23,164,5OO in deposits, so that
while the institutions actually lost
cash, the decrease in deposits brought
about very material increase in re-
serves. 1t is only logical to antici-
pate that the position of the banks
from now on will be affected by the
demands from interior correspond
ents, but in any event the banks are
in fine position to meet the full bur
den which will be laid upon them.

FLORAL PARADE
DESIGNS ARRIVE

The Promotion Committee has re-
ceived four designs in the competition
now going on for a suitable poster for
the 1911 floral parade in this city. The
competition is not only for valuable
glory, but a prize of 500 cash will be
awarded to the person or firm submit
ting the best design. Thus far the
designs have all come from abroad,
but there is still time for local artists
to be heard from.
Taken in their order on the walls of
the Promotion Committees headquar-
tiers, the first is by Sidney Armer, of
San Francisco. This artist has caught
the idea of parade, for he depicts a
jolly mob coming up the road and they
have holiday toys on, all right. In
front, and supposed to be the center
diamond in the setting, is dark lady,
presumably Hawaiian. The pose of
the figure is not bad, but-horrors -
she is shielding herself from the tropic
sun with a Japanese umbrella.
Number is by Harry Mist, Homo
lulu's own artist, now in Dresden. 1t
represents a quintette of singing boys
in wagon, the word aloha" appear
ing conspiculously on the side of the
vehicle The scheme does not do
justice to the artist; the idea lacks
depth and force.
Number is submitted by Maring &
Blake, of Seattle. 1t is a striking con-
ception and is boldly asserted. Here
again, a Hawaiian girl is the main
figure. She is overtopped by some
scraggy palms, and around her is a
kind of artificial rainbow of flaming
red leaves. AS a whole this design
would be appropriate in many places
in the temperate zone, but hardly ex-
presses the idea sought by the COM
mittee.
The fourth design is by ]. F. Derby
of Los Angeles, and this is by several
points the best of the lot. The scene
10 w dlhlhlJ anu DldlllOnu I1Sdu anu JllG
beach are very faithfully portrayed
in colors. In the foreground is a Ha-
waiian dancing girl, in holiday attire
dancing hula to the tune of a guitar
hidden in the shadows of the palms
by the way.
While Number 4 is the choice of
everyone who has seen the designs,
there is still something lacking in it;
and after looking them all over one
cannot help wondering if some others
will not arrive in the next mail
The arrival of these designs from
four different cities indicates that the
interest in the competition is wide
outspread, and that much is crafty
ing.

POSTAL BANK To
START VERY SOON

BEVERLY, (Mass.), August 10
Postmaster-Ge Hitchcock made
preliminary report to President
Taft today regarding the plans for
the early institution of postal saw
ings banks in different parts of the
country
The experimental banks wig be
located in smaller cities in order to
perfect the system before an attempt
is made to open metropolitan branch
es. It is hoped that the experimental
banks may be in operation by Octo-
Der 18th.
Hitchcock and the President, it is
said, also talked generally of the po-
litical situation. The situation Is
improving all along the line" said
Hitchcock after his interview with
the President. "On my return from
Europe l found many letters await
1g me and telling of the improved
conditions, especially in the West
The President is growing stronger
every day. The magnificent record
of legislation he made during the
last Congress is gradually dawning
on the people, and is making itself
felt everywhere"

ROUTINE WORK OF
THE PROMOTERS

Most of the time of the Prom Jtion
Committee yesterday was taken up
with discussion of the floral parade
poster competition, mentioned else
where. Mr. McInerny expressed him
self as still in favor of working a surf
ing figure n the poster finally adopted.
There was general talk of the details
of the parade. AS yet no one is in
sight to take charge of it.
Secretary Cooper mentioned the Wis
it of w. J. Lynch. railroad man, 10
the islands and the committee will
take appropriate cognizance of his pre-
sence here.
Governor Cotton, of Porto Rico,
wrote thanking Secretary Wood for in
formation concerning Hawaiis bazaar
at Atlantic City and expressing his in
tention of having similar bazaar
there this winter. He stated, however,
that the bazaar would be so shaped up
as not to conflict or compete with the
one supported by Hawaii.
Mr.. Wood smoke of the bazaar at At
lantic City, characterizing it as an i'm
mense success in every way. Many
people had been Induced by it to visit
Hawaii and leading railroads had been
encouraged to promote travel in this
direction. He regarded the institution
as self supporting and vas of the OPT
MON that it should be kept up.

NEW PROMOTERS
ARE APPOINTED

The new Promotion Committee which
will in future invite the stranger to
come within Hawaii's gates and look
= out for him when he gets here, will
be composed of most of the same men
forming the old committee. Prior to
leaving for the coast Wednesday morn
ing President Morgan reappointed the
former Chamber of Commerce repre-
sentatives on the oommission-Wil.
liam H. Hoogs and Norman Watkins
The Merchants Association, how
ever, made a change. R. H. Trent,
who has fulfilled the duties of promo
ton commissioner with so much abil-
ity and credit, found it quite impos-
sible to continue longer in the service
business. G. F. Bush was reappoint-
ed and w. H. McInerny, now member
at large, was appointed to represent
the Merchants Association in place of
Mr. Trent.
This leaves one vacancy-a member
at large-to be chosen by the board
itself. Several names have been sug-
gested but nothing will likely be done
until the commissioners have a chance
to talk the matter over in called
meeting.
1t is practically certain that there
will be no changes in the working
force of the committee, and that the
campaign will be prosecuted upon
much the lines of the past, changes
being made only to meet circum
stances as they arise.

TOURISTS COMING
VIA Los ANGELES

The following is from the Los An
geles Times:
Secretary Frank Virgins, of the
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday re-
ceived word from II. P. Wood, secre-
tary of the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee, that after a three months canvass
of the situation he is confident that it
would be profitable for the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce to run
excursions to the Hawaiian Islands
during the coming winter.
Mr.. Wood says that many tourists
are headed toward California for the
coming winter and he finds that a
large number would be glad of the
opportunity to take midwinter trip
to Honolulu. Secretary Virgins be
lieves that the idea is a feasible one
and he may take the matter up.
Arrangements are practically com
pleted by Willis Booth, president of
the Associated Chambers of Com
merce, for the tour of that body to
China. At the conclusion of the tour
in China, Willis Booth, Mrs. Booth and
Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Moulton, of the Los
Angeles delegation will continue on a
trip around the world.
About 300 representatives of the
Chambers of Commerce of the Pacific
Coast will sail in the party which
leaves on August 16.

HORSE is Al YEARS OLD
Samuel J. Tilden Is Enjoying Comfort

The Oldest horse in America Is said

the property of Joseph Guest, a re-
tired merchant. was foaled May 6.
1863, and was then owned by the
late Thomas Van Dyke of near Ken
nedyville. Mr.. Van Dyke sold the
horse at public auction to Thomas
Booson, who subsequently sold it to
the present owner.
On April 10 last Enoch King of Mil
lington called on Mr.. Guest to take a
look at the old horse, and said:
Il am forty-nine years old. When
a small boy my fatLer and l often
drove up the horses from the pasture
field, and Stonewall. as is his name.
was among them.
"On the day of the nomination of
Samuel j. Tilden for president of the
United States, MIR. Van Dyke drove
the horse to Middletown, Del, a dis
tance of some 25 miles and. being a
great admirer of Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Van
Dyke then and there changed the
name of the animal to Samuel j. Til
den, by which he has since been
known"
Mr.. Guest has made numerous ef-
forts to discover an older horse in the
country than Tilden. He has written
to the owners of all the horse reviews
in the country. but up to the present
he has been unable to find horse in
the country is as old.
The nearest approach to il was a
horse owned by a gentleman in Penn
sylvania, who claimed the honor of
seniority. comparison Of ages. how
ever. revealed the fact, that the Penn
sylvania animal was several years
younger than Samuel J. Tilden.
Mr.. Guest says he will let the horse
spend the remainder o. his days in
peace and quiet. enjoying his pasture
