VOLCANO Is THE
BIC ATTRACTION
Promotion Committee viii See
That Il Is We'll
Advertised.

The Hawaii Promotion Committee
believes that the proposed work Of tho
Kiiauea Observatory Commission at the
crater Of Kilauea to be conducted by
Professor Jaggar, viii be Of the utmost
value from promotion standpoint and
the committee is prepared to give the
movement its moral support and II
possible, to give financial support.
l.. A. Thurston of the special com
mitteo which has the Kilauen station
matter in hand, appeared before the
committee yesterday afternoon and
gave history of the movement, which
originated few years ago and was
brought to head by Professor Jaggar,
who succeeded in diverting the estab
lishment of a scientific observatory in
Massachusetts to Kilauea and has
shipped on few thousand dollars
worth Of instruments which are now
stored in I. II. Davies s. Company's
warehouse. Professor Jaggar came here
and visited the volcano, making some
observations, and this year Professor
Ferret, the famous volcanologist, was
sent by Professor Jaggar and remained
at the crater's edge for several months.
1t is to carry ON this work and have
money for maintenance that Mr.. Thur
ston is advocating use of funds.
Professor Jaggar win return here
the first part of January, prepared to
remain from three to five years, or a
few months, as the funds may indicate.
The committee of which Mr.. Thurston
is the head, has several thousand dol
lars per annum pledged toward the
work. Mr.. Thurston assured the pro-
motion committee that it would re.
ceive the complete reports of the OBJ
servations. The promotion committee
believed this would be of the utmost
assistance, for they have adopted the
theory that the volcano cannot be too
we'll advertised and should be adver-
tised, next to Hawaii Is climate, as the
greatest attraction Of the Islands, if
not of the whole world. The committee
expects to show to the world that there
is no equal wonder of nature so ac-
cessible. They will show that it is,
practically, "Satin Slipper Tour

was the accessibility and the hotel ac-
commodations nearby, which induced
Professor Jaggar to decide on Kilauea
as the site for the scientific observa-
tory, instead of establishing it in
Japan.
Mr.. Thurston stated that the very
fact that Professor Perret was max
ing observations at Kilauea, was com
mented on in the geographical and
scientific journals all over the world,
and tourists on Teaching the volcano

get to the pit and next if Professor

WILL SUPPORT
MISSION ABROAD
Central Union to Support one
Man in the Field, Prefer
ably Among Chinese
lFrom saLardayla AaverlIser.l

ENNlN 8MAAAMAN r ANAHNNNANAAHN
The missionary work Of Central
Onion Church is being revitalized un..
der the direction Of the new Missionary
Committee, which was appointed as a
result of the recent Laymen Mission.
airy Movement. At meeting Of this
committee held yesterday, plans for the
year were discussed and begun. AS a
main object Of work, it is the plan of
the committee to ask the American
Board Of Foreign Missions Co recon-
mend strong man who shall be APP
pointed as the foreign missionary of
Central Union Church and supported
by it. While the board viii select the
place of his work, strong preference
viii be expressed for China, where just
now it is believed great opportunities
exist for Christian work. With this
definite object it is believed that the
canvass for funds can be made with
success. This canvass will not be made
until the man and his field of labors
are decided upon.
A strong effort is going to be made
to get information in advance of the
coming of well known missionaries so
that they may be given an opportunity
to speak while here and furthermore
so that plans may be made TO keep
them over steamer. The presence of
such men win be an inspiration to
local workers.
A plan was discussed by which the
entertainment of missionaries and re-
ligious workers can be systematized and
made more effective. Members of the
church, who are willing, will be asked
to lend their automobiles under the
supervision Of the committee. This
will take the burden from the shoulders
of the few and distribute it more equal
ly among those interested.
AS an important part of the policy
of the committee the inspection of the
missions and missionary work in the
islands is to be undertaken. A special
committee has been appointed to plan
for this friendly inspection which will
be at once a benefit and an inspiration
to the mission workers and an assur-
ance of the best results to contributors
to the cause.

before the trustees of that organiza-

said Mr.. Spalding yesterday, speaking
of the necessity of larger police force
which recent events have emphasized.
1.-THE force should be enlarged, re-
organized and made more effective.
think that the detective bureau should
undergo reorganization, placing it on
a more useful basis. There is NO doubt
that McDuffie has done splendid work
there, however.
III agree with the editorial in this
mornings Advertiser about putting
more white men on the force. The
Hawaiians have courageously and skill
fully carried out their duties and
should not be dispensed with entirely.
The town is filing up with strangers,
however. The young men of the army
and navy in this city are an exception

there can be no doubt. But most young
men join these services TO have good
time and they usually do. There
should be some supervision over them
under certain conditions aud this
supervision should be by men of their
own race.
"The same thing regarding enlarge
ment applies 10 the FIRE department.

SMALLPOX CLAIMS
VICTIM IN CHILD
First Death Among Immigrants
on the Island From This
Disease.
(From Saturdays Advertiser.l

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
The first death from smallpox among
the Spanish and Portuguese immigrants
from the steamer Willesden occurred
yesterday morning, the victim being a
little Spanish child. Two other deaths
were also reported yesterday from
Quarantine Island, where the immi-
grants are confined, both of them Of
children, one Portuguese and the 9th
er Spanish. Malnutrition is assigned
as the cause.
''This is the biggest federal quaran-
tine job IN the history Of the port, -
said Chief Quarantine Office mr.. Carl
Ramus, yesterday afternoon, and it's
all federal too. The board of health
has helped out greatly by the loan Of
ninety-two tents, for even our commo-
dious steerage barracks could not hold
them all. The entire quarantine force
is working under high pressure and they
viii have to be laid off over Sunday,
despite the desirability of rushing the
work, for exposed as they are to small
pox, it would not do for them to be-
come sick in any way and they need a
rest.
81 shall recommend twenty-one days
of quarantine for this bunch. Fourteen
days is the usual period of incubation
of smallpox but owing to vaccination
and other general modern precautions
it is possible that some cases would
take longer to develop"
At the completion of the work last
night there were only about one hun.
bred and twenty-five immigrants left
on the ship, which will permit the dis
infection of the passengers and their
baggage to be wound up today. The
work of disinfeeting the ship viii then
commence and she may leave port very
shortly after this, which would be early
next week, and finish out her quaran-

ance, to erect a wharf at the site, in

More rapidly than the commissioners
had anticipated the differences of opin-
ion over the location of the proposed
wharf and the style thereof, and the
form of agreement, have been wiped
away by the action of the board in the
sessions of the last two days, and all
that now remains is for the Hilo Rail-

that Mr.. Wong was commissioned as a

What might well be called a Joy ride
at sea was taken by members Of the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
yesterday, as guests Of the Honolulu
Iron Works, with Manager Hedomann
az host In fact it was personally
conducted joy ride of tho kind which
few have the good luck to take. In
every way il was most enjoyable af-
fair and win long be remembered by
all the guests of the company.
There was n gathering of prominent
men at the office of the iron works on
Allen street at nine o'clock yesterday
morning, who boarded the tug Intrepid,
Captain Howe, which was donated for
the occasion by Castle s. Cooke, Ltd,
and soon the gay party was sailing out
of the harbor upon its voyage of dis
covery toward the Pearl Lochs.
But it was when the Joy cruiser
reached the channel at the entrance to
Pearl Harbor that the fun commenced,
and all the feet of working dredgers,
as well us the plants ashore, saluted
the craft with three whistles each, to
each of which the Intrepid courageous
| ly replied at the risk of exhausting her
steam supply.
All along the channel were planted
rows of flags and signals Of all kinds
showing the waterway and also the dan
ger spots, all of which were safely
lodged and the little vessel put up al
the great naval drydock without mis-
hap.
