A YEARS PROMOTION WORK
REVIEWED BY SECRETARY WOOD

The following review of the years
promotion work was presented yester-
day to the annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce:
Honolulu, August 16, 1911.
Mr.. G. Fred Bush, Chairman, Hawa-
ii Promotion Committee, Homo
lulu
Sir: During the past twelve
months the work of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee has been materially
broadened and extended. After seven
years of persistent effort results are
now apparent and there is much en-
enlargement to continue the work.
1t takes time to get established in
any line of business, particularly in a
propaganda such as ours, Today,
however, the Hawaii Promotion
Committee is looked to as a reliable
source of information concerning the
Territory of Hawaii by every Ameri-
Can consul, all railway and steamship
companies, information bureaus and
excursion agencies the entire world
over. A prominent naval officer re-
Gently remarked, my duties for the
past three years have taken me to
practically every port of Importance
on the globe, and wherever I went l
found that people knew of the Hawaii
Promotion Comittee, it's Bureau Of
Information being considered as a
model one and absolutely depend
able"
For a time it seemed that changes
contemplated by the Young Hotel
management might compel us 70
abandon our present quarters. As
soon, however as it was decided that
we could remain, the room was re-
, arranged and many conyeniences
and attractions added, until we have
today what Mr.. Charles S. Fee, pas
senger traffic manager of the South
ern Pacific Company, describes as
the most attractive and one of the
best equipped travel bureaus in the
United States"
1t has been the plan of the commit
tee to display in its rooms the latest
= and most reliable information obtain
able concerning all parts of the Terri
tory. This is shown in the full set Of
relief maps, the large wall maps, the
enlarged photographs, albums CT Sc
lected views, colored transparencies
carefully prepared maps and guides
. of all the large islands of the group;
interesting and attractively illus
trated folders, also special pamphlets
dealing with agriculture, climate, etc
There is to be found in the rooms
at all times the very latest railway
and steamship folders covering the
entire globe. There are special fol
der racks containing pamphlets de
scriptive of all points Of interest in
the United States, Canada, Mexico
Central and South America, Europe
} and especially full lines Of informa
- ton concerning the South Pacific and
the countries of the Orient
The Library of Directories has beer
J materially added to during the past
! year and a new Travel Library start
ed, which, it is hoped, will ultimately
contain a very complete list of the
Standard Travel Guides (such as Muir

the Pacific coast. Stations there will
be located at the following points:
Cordova, Alaska; Sitka, Alaska; Navy
Yard, Puget Sound; Tatoosh Island,
Washington; Cape Blanco, Oregon;
Table Bluff Calf. Mare Island,
Calf; Point Arguelo, Calf; Point
Lomax, Calf; Honolulu, Hawaii.
Before complete organizations Of
the wireless system can be effected,
there must be restrictions by legisla-
ton upon the activities of commercial
wireless companies and particularly
upon amateur operators. Stories Of
the trouble that the interference of
these operators has caused in the
sending of official navy and govern
ment dispatches have frequently ap-
peared in the press. The department
desires to prevent further trouble Of
this kind The restrictions required
are regulation of waves sent from in
struments and regulation of the in
struments.
Wireless stations communicate
with each other by so tuning their
instruments that they send out sound
waves of the same length or
strength. If, then, Congress required
each company to accept some distinct
wave length, in other words, ordered
that the stations of each company
should tune their instruments to a
certain fixed strength, it would pre-
vent interference between the vari-
GUS companies, as the stations of
each company would be fixed to re-
ceive only the messages sent by other
navy desires to fix some arbitrary
wave strength for itself and to have
the commercial companies likewise
regulated
The second regulation required
would be regulation Of the instru-
ments. Some of the commercial com.
panies send out a broad wave with
two projecting points. The wave
sent out from naval stations is sharp
and defined. It has only one point
projecting. When these waves be-
come intercrossed, or rather when the
point of one wave projects between
the two points of the other type of
wave, there is considerable interior
ence.
1t would not require a very great out
lay of money to effect the changes.
Probably such regulation would in
the end result in better work for all
concerned The commercial COM
panies, however, are opposed to gov
eminent regulation and they will try
to prevent the passage of any legisla-
ton such as is contemplated by the
department. The Importance of the
matter is but little appreciated and
Congress is not generally fast to
move unless there is considerable
public opinion behind the request.
Put the question is one of great
Importance to the navy. Accurate
and swift communication is becoming
one of the most essential attributes
to naval efficiency. The wireless
will give the admiral of feet com
munication for thousand miles upon
the sea, it will warn him of danger
and tell him what aid he may expect
and concentrate the general manage
=, ment of all the country's sea power at
one point

rays Japan, also many leading
works on travel.
Nothing, in fact, has been omitted
that, in the opinion of the members
of the committee could in any way
prove of assistance in advertising
Hawaii and which might be of use
and value to the traveller.
The Office employees of the commit
tee take pains to keep fully informed
about travel matters. All questions
asked them are answered politely and
fully, no effort being spared to Sc
cure the desired information if it is
not on file.
We continue to distribute from the
Office and send out by mail and eX-
press on an average about one thou
sand pieces of matter daily. We
could handle ten times the quantity
of our general folder if sufficient
funds were available to print a mil
lion copies where we at present con-
tract for one hundred thousand We
now know where to send our matter,
when to send it and how to send It.
Active distributing connections have
been made wherever reliable tourist
agencies and railway and steamship
companies have their offices.
We have as you know, just com
pleted arrangements which will IN
sure a reliable and effective distribu
ton of our folders at Yokohama and
Kobe, Japan, and thus enable us 10
reach every traveller in the Far East
We anticipate a marked increase in
stop-over travel as a direct result OF
this work.
Nothing Misleading.
The correspondence attached tc
the Office is very large. Letters o.
inquiry come in by every mail from
all parts of the world in ever increas
ing number. In this connection
would again repeat what we have
said at other times, t. e.. that we have
never sent out any misleading infor
NATHAN, either in our letters OF
pamphlets. w. H. Bancroft, one o.
the general managers of the Southern
Pacific Company, remarked while II
Honolulu last year that OF all the
places he had ever visited, Hawai-
was the only one that had not beer
overdrawn and did not disappoint
This statement was confirmed by Mr.
Scott, a vice president Of the same
company, who has just left the
Islands, after taking in the volcano
and other points Of interest.
Lecturers Are Helping.
At the present time we are receiv
ing an unusual amount of good pub

turers. Among others who repor
large and interested audiences are:
Rev. Charles A. Payne, who is
much sought after Chautauqua pro

PERCY HUNTER REPORTS; URGES
STEAMER LINE AND SUGGESTS
RECIPROCITY WITH AUSTRALIA

with trade Publicity consistently fol
lowed up will produce good results.
Mr.. Hunter thinks it is essential that
any representative appointed should
be a good public speaker, able to take
the platform and deliver popular ad-
dresses, and thus to gain publicity for
the state. He should know, also some
thing of the science of government,
and be able to observe and report
upon various reforms and experiments
in the political and civic spheres, from
which wonderful results are accruing
in various American cities.
Steamer Service.
1t is suggested that one of the first
duties of the commissioner should be
to endeavor to improve the shipping
facilities between the Pacific Coast
and New South Wales. San Francisco
would be greatly pleased to see the
re-establishment of a direct line to
Sydney. Thanks to oil fuel, the for
mer Frisco liner Sierra, which was
for some time laid up, now runs
profitably between San Francisco and
Honolulu, "and as an oil burner is
speedy and keeps time like a train.
Burning oil, it would be possible for
steamers of this type to carry on a
fortnightly service between Sydney
and San Francisco, doing the journey
in eighteen days. This would give a
twenty-six days mail route from Lon
don to Sydney"
To Cut Out Auckland.
In view of the recent omission of
Brisbane from the Vancouver (Canad-
ian-Australian) service and the inclu-
sion of Auckland, the following re-
mark is interesting: This twenty-six
days service would cut out Auckland.
Calling at Auckland the time would be
twenty-eight days, but call could be
made at Brisbane without increasing
the time of the mail journey. A sub
sidy of something like 100000 per an
mum would probably go long way
towards establishing the line; and
considering that Australia paid &c.,
627, Fiji 922S2 and Canada 937,091
to the Canadian-Australian line under
the contract just xLiring for much
more protracted service, it would
seem very good business at the price.
Another argument for closer rela-
tions with our nearest white neigh
bors" is the great preparations and
concentration of the worlds attention
with regard to the opening of the Pan
ANA Canal in 1915, and the great ex-
position in San Francisco in that year.
Mr.. Hunter says the stories that the
unions are killing San Francisco are
exaggerated. The iron industry there
Chiefly shipbuilding) is in bad way,
because it has to haul its raw mater
ial, and has to compete with the east
ern states, where coal and iron are on
the spot and because "the American
navigation laws make it almost impos.
sible for an American mercantile ma,
rine to live in competition with for.
eign vessels" But the city and the
state as a whole are abundantly pros
porous.

and the benefits thereof.
 'The Legislature of Manitoba want ed railways to communicate north and south; they chartered railways to that effect, and these charters were disallowed one after another, disal- lowed in 1881. disallowed in 1882, dis allowed in 1888, disallowed in 1884, disallowed in 1885, disallowed in 1886. The Legislature of Manitoba petition ed Parliament to do away with this restriction. and year after year that prayer was denied. At last in 1887 notwithstanding all the restrictions put upon their energy, the Govern ment of Manitoba, with the assent of the whole people of Manitoba, passed another act chartering a company to nun from Winnipeg to the boundary line, where 1t could reach the Ameri can system of railways, and this act was d1sallowed. The Province pass ed beyond that disallowance and pro- ceeded to build the railway, though there was no legislation empowering them to do so. It was practically an act of rebellion.

ProStrationS Continue From
 The Hot Wave

Two heat prostrations this noon, one death yesterday, and seven pros trations, proved that Old Sol is still with us and getting in his deadly work despite the excitement of the train wreck

DIES OF FRACTURED SKULL BY FALL
 FROM TROLLEY CAR
Especial from United Press }

.
 Norwalk, July 12-Dominick Tavel- To, of 27 Chapel street, died at the Norwalk hospital. this morning. from a fracture at the base of the skull and internal injuries which he re- ceived, last night, when he stepped from fast moving trolley car in Main street, Winnipauk. Tavello was a laborer and was going to work on a ditch which had to be abandoned during the day on account of the ex- cessive heat. He informed the con- ductor where he wished to get off but had not yet reached the spot when he slipped on the running board and fell backwards to the ground. His head, was badly torn and his body bruised. No one is held for the ac- cident as it was due entirely to the mans hurry in leaving the car before it stopped. The deceased has been in the country only few months and besides a brother here, he leaves a father and mother, wife and two children in Meleto, County Cantazaro, Italy

fcontiued from Page 1.) They loitered about the doors of the wards and private rooms and Qu1zzed the victims for statements until the doctors ordered them out of the in stitutions.
 The wreckers this morning got the U. S Fisheries car back on a set of wheels and hauled 1t away. About 5000 fish perished. A large allotment of the fish was put off the train with two of the four inspectors on the car at Stamford. There were two inspec- tors H. L. Canfield of Wisconsin and A. Oden of Winchester, Va. with Charles Frazer, colored, a chef in the car. The inspectors were able to be about today but Frazer is still at St. Vincent's hospital.
 Among the visitors at St. Vincent's 6 hospital today was Washington clergyman who came here on hearing CT, one of his parishioners. Mrs. Jos- eph Royce of washington, D. C., was visited by her daughter late last night.
 From Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, telegrams and telephone calls flooded both hospitals and the morgue and coroner's office. At the morgue today the attendants are nearly played out for they were kept busy all day yesterday, throughout the night, and again today with hum dreds of persons seeking their missing relatives and friends.
 A dozen workmen, hurfying the task of clearing away the wrecked sleeping car Alteus,. beneath which the body of a man had been discovered, were nearly buried beneath the car when a chain on the wrecking apparatus gave way late this afSernoon.
 While hundreds were crowding up to the police lines to watch the gruesome spectacle of the rescue of the 18th corpse from the debris, the wreckers, hurying under orders of Coroner Cliff ford B. Wilson, who was vexed at the apparent disregard of the interests of humanity on the part of the railroad officials, and were devoting most of their attention to the roadbed rather than the rescue of the corpses, fast ened a heavy chain around the car.
 The powerful steam derrick hoisted the car we'll into the air, then the rope gave way and the hulk came crashing back to earth. The workmen almost miraculously escaped.
 Three chains were then fastened the body of Golf was brought to light.
 The body of Brakeman Golf lay with the head pinioned beneath a huge granite block, which had been torn from the abutments of the iron bridge work over Fairfield avenue
 Coroner Wilson said the inquest would begin at Saturday, as usual be- hind closed doors.

JOHN P. GRAY
 NOT APPOINTED
Illness of Commissioner Simeon Pease Prevents Board Taking Ac-
 ction Today

The expected appointment of Attor- ney John P. Gray to succeed Liquor Prosecutor Henry Greenstein was not announced today. The county com missioners, who have the power to name the liquor prosecutor, took 10 action because of the absence of Com missioner Simeon Pease. He was ov- ercome by the heat yesterday and was unable to attend to his dutfe3 today. It is thought that the com missioners will announce the appoint ment of Attorney Gray and also At- torney Albert J. Merritt, as liquor prosecutors within few days.
