The Presidents Address.
President Johnston's address is es-
pecially interesting, the manner in
which he deals with the question of
cooperation between the hotel own
ers and the travelling public, par
ticularly the travelling salesman, be-
ing Of interest to the laymen as we'll
as the hotel operator. His address
follows:
"The annual meeting of our asso-
citation has come to be an event which
anticipate and look forward to with
great pleasure, and I believe the same
can be said of each member of this
association who has been attending
its meetings.
"In our annual meetings are COM
bined, for the members of the asso-
citation, the pleasure and recreation
of the trip, the advantage of social
intercourse, Of touching elbows and
learning to really know one another,
the benefit Of an exchange Of ideas
and experience, and Of Information
| secured from those who participate
in our programs and in the conven-
ton, which ideas and information are
an invaluable asset to every hotel
man who takes advantage of the op-
portunity Of attending these meetings.
Events of the past year, to which
shall briefly refer, have impressed
upon my mind the value of co-opera-
tion between the hotel proprietor and
his guests in general, and more par
ticularly between hotel proprietors
ally and collectively, rs represented
by hotel mems associations and
travelling mems associations, respec-
lively. 1t is the value of such Co
operation that desire to make the
central thought Of my remarks on this
occasion, which I presume in print
will be dignified by the title, "Presi-
dents Annual Address,"
New Conditions.
"The wonderful development in the
business world within the last gen
Grafton, attended by the doubling and
re-doubling of the army Of travelling
statesmen and representatives of the
Industrial and commercial institutions
of the country, has resulted in new
conditions to be met by hotelmen in
the conduct of their business and in
the necessity of a readjustment along
certain lines to meet the changed con-
ditions and requirements.

ed and passed. going through the leg
islature without q fight.
Another Of the Nebraska laws re-
lates to the dead beat" and. where
as under old conditions 1t was neces-
sary for hotel owner to prove in
tent to defraud lin cases of unpaid
hotel bills, the inew law makes It
prima facie evidence of guilt in the
event that Q man leaves a hotel With
out paying, no matter what his ex-
cuse may be.
Then Nebraska also has the limited
liability law, relating to baggage left
In the hotel. Up to the time this law
was passed q hotel owner could be
made liable for any amount. but the
new legislation dxes the maximum
liability.
Two Deaths on Committee.
Since the committee on uniform
legislation was appointed last year.
there has been two deaths of men,
bers. one OF these being the chairman,
J. ]. Bohn Of the Hotel World of Chi
cago, who was killed in an automo-
bile wreck, and Mr.. Fisher of Minne-
apolis.
Despite that fact the other mem
bers of the committee have done some
hard work and have a complete report
for this convention.
Propose Mutual Insurance.
Plans for the creation of mutual
fire insurance company as a part of
the work of the, association were
brought TO- thssa a4tention Of tAasmem-
bers at the session this afternoon. At
the meeting of the Iowa Hotel Mems
association about month ago a COM
mittee was appointed to bring the
matter before the northwestern as
sociation. q
Around this Imposition no little
interest will center. and it Is probable
that there will b more or less oppo-
sition to It, In fact, the first paper
on the program today voiced senti-
ment against the idea, and 1t will have
hard shedding.
The proposition is a big one and
will not be acted upon until sit has
been given very thorough considera-
tion.
Several Cities Anxious.
Several northwestern cities are
anxious in their efforts to secure the
next annual meeting of the organiza-
tion. Sioux City and Davenport, Iowa
are the principal contenders, with the
probabilities pointing to either one or
the other cities for next year. Hot
Springs. s. D., is another of the cities
that Is willing to entertain the con-
vention next year and has extended
an invitation.
The selection of the next place of
meeting does not come until tomor-
row, nor does the election of officers
take place until that time.
Discussions We're Interesting.
This morning, or during the noon
hour, the association members had an
interesting discussion on the ques-
tion Of disposing of articles left in

NORMAL BOARD
STILL FIGHTING
Jacobson Charges Fraud and
School Site is Still Up in !;
the Air. a.:s

Valley City. N. D., Aug. 1e.-That
the question of selecting site for
the new normal school will not down
was fairly illustrated when the state
normal school board held q meeting
in Valley City today and when Martin
Jacobson. member Of the board from
Minot, declared that fraud had en-
tered into the recent election that had
been held on the question.
This was followed by motion made
by Superintendent Taylor who left the
chair for that purpose. moving that
the proposition be indefinitely post
poned. This motion, however, was
finally withdrawn and the board went
into executive session.

MOTT-SMITH NEAR
QUITTING BOARD
Of HEALTH

The question as to whether or not
e. A Mott Smith was to continue as
president OF the Territorial Board OF
Health was left to the members of the
board by MottSmith himself at a
meeting held a short time ago, the re-
suit being that the members of the
board declared most emphatically that
he should continue in Office.
The situation that resulted in this
rather unusual action. Mott Smith de-
clared this morning, was due to inti-
nations from several sources that the
president of the Board of Health could
not handle two positions at the same
time-the present chief of the health
sery ice being also Secretary of the Ter
ritory.
In response to this" said the pres
ident of the Board OF Health this
morning, Il called a meeting of the
board and stated plainly what the sit
uation was. | said that it was my de-
sire to be where | could be of the most
use to the government, and if they
thought change in the office was ad-
visable / would be very glad to re-
linquish my duties"
The result was that the members OF
the board declared most einphatically
that they waited the president to re-
main and carry out the refol ms already
inaugurated
so that Is the end of the matter,
said the health board president
Governor Frear stated this morning
that Mott Smith had gone to the health
board with some reluctance: that he
took charge of the office when asked
to, and then went ahead with i'm
seen on every hand.
Il hope there will not be occasion
for any further talk of his resigna
tion" concluded the Governor.

MORE CHANGES IN
P. M. SERVICE

There continues to be decided
change going on among Pacific Mai
Steamship officers. The intermediate
steamer Asia, that arrived at the port
this morning after an uneyentful run
down from San Francisco brought
several new faces among the official
staff.

past has served as Second Officer in
the Asia remained on shore and his
position is being filled this trip by
W. Fl. Thomas, the erstwhile Third
Officer in the vessel The position

by j. L. Johnson
In the engineering department of

noted, M. B, Simpson the Second En-
gineer, who was well and favorable
known to Honolulu shipping people

TWENTY NINTH DAY.

The House spent large part of this
morning wrestling with IL. b. 1G4
amending the city and county act. This
is the proposed change in the Homo
lulu act by which the mayor is to be
separated from the appointive power
which is to be conferred on the Board
of Supervisors.
Sitting in committee of the whole
with Representative Archer in the
chair the House mulled over the bill
for an hour, with little progress made
However, the Oahu delegation did not
take the apathetlc part it played when
the measure was up before, but today
showed signs of life and several of the
members fought hard for the bill. In
the end, having failed to do anything
but discuss amendments and give
them up, the House quit for lunch, but
returned to the fray at 2 O'Clock this
afternoon for another session.
Castle Watkins, Towse and Marcal-
limo were the Oahu men who talked
for the change today, with Mahoe of
oahu opposing the change. Several of
the members from other delegations
also got rid of their ideas on the sub
iect
Kawewehi opposed any change in the
present law but Coney spoke in favor
of the proposed changes The law as
ii stands now Is not workable" he de-
clared I'VE want to try to pass a
law to avoid the hold-up that occurred
here 1t Is evident that the act is not
practical now The Legislature should
change it for the benefit of the peo-
ple.''
Sheldon declared that the oahu del
egation ought to clear up some of the
doubts that exist as to the changes.
MANY of the members have said moth
ing at all Let's hear from them" he
said.
This stirred up Towse, who declared
for the changes emphatically. 1--WE
want this for utility, for economy and
in the interests of the taxpayers" he
said THE late administration of road
affairs Is an evidence that the present
system is not businesslike"
