VISITOR LOOKS FOR
THE OLD LANDMARKS
S. Burden Cohen Of Sydney in
City Where Once Was a
Village.

''I was in Honolulu the first time in
1874, y said s. Burden Cohen of sgd.
ney, N. S. W., yesterday. "fMy present
visit, however, is almost like being a
first one, for I find very few laHE-
marks of my former visit.
Mr.. Cohen was at the promotion com
mittee rooms yesterday with his wife
and their niece, Miss Levy, getting in
formation about the Islands. He is al.
ready enthuAA.stft about Honolulu and
is glad he stopped of for short visit,
at least
He inquired where the site of the
late A. S. cleghorn's store near the
waterfront was. He remembered that
store very well. He remembered seeing
the king while he was here before and
members OF the royal family.
As he looked ont from the promotion
committee rooms he said he thought
the site Of the Young Building was
formerly dotted with bungalows and
trees, and all Honolnlp then was ? big
village.

STATUE NEARLY
WENT TO MANILA
If 1t Had Followed Bill of Lading
1t Would Have Landed in
Oriental Isles.

Because a firm of Pittsburg bankers
thought Honolulu was in the Philip
pines, the delay in the erection of the
Mckinley memorial statue at the Ho-
nolulu High School has resulted. How
ever, some big and unwieldy looking
boxes in front of the school now an
nounce the fact that the big statue, has
arrived on the grounds it is soon to
grace.
The history of the statue is an in
teresting one and especially SO in view
of the fact that there have been so
many delays in connection with its ar
rival at its destination. The contract
of making the statue was given to Cur
zon osborne, a Honolulu sculptor. He
completed his part of the work and
sent the model over to the mainland
to have the cast made. This was done
satisfactorily and then came the time
when it was to be returned to Homo
lulu again.
1t was just right there that the trou-
BILE started, however. The pedestal was
sent but no bill of landing accompanied
it and as a consequence it could not
be removed from the wharf. Cables
were sent to know what had become of
the paper and the answer came back
saying IHdl II udu D6Gu nGub anu
be here. After wait, another cable
was despatched asking for a duplicate
and this came to hand few days ago.
The statue was accordingly taken from
its resting place and carted up to the
school where the workmen are now
busily engaged in erecting it.
Honolulu in Philippines.
Curiously enough the original bill of
lading came along by the steamer Sibe-
ria the next day, addressed to the
Bishop Bank. A glance at the address
on the envelope showed clearly enough
why it had not come to hand before.
1t had been addressed to Honolulu,

sponsible for this lack of geographical

The workmen expect that the statue
viii be in place by the end of the week
and be ready for the unveiling ceremony
the next week. The committee have
not made any definite plans for OH
cially greeting the statue as yet, but
ara waiting for the completion Of the
Job. At the unwilling speeches will be
made in regard to the statue and also
the man, and the pupils win sing songs.

THE PORTUGUESE
LEGION OF HONOR

One of the first acts Of the new Por-
tnguese government on coming into
power was to suppress the Order Of
Christ Of Portugal, the red ribbon of
which was so much esteemed, says the
London Globe. Then q difficulty arose
as to how they were to reward their
Revolutionary Friends. Numbers were
clamoring for recognition. Then the
council met IN solemn eouelave, and
after a long discussion Il was decided
to create a Portuguese Legion Of Honor,
and naturally they decided that the
sibbon should be purple. The reason
for the suppression Of Portugal b
famous honor Is stated by a Paris con.
temporary to have been due to a desire

WILL PRINT LAWS AS
THEY ARE TURNED OUT

The printing of the coming "session
Laws of 1911, f" in book form, is to be
done this year by piecemeal, as they
are approved, as at the last session.
Greater saving in money and time are
the reasons which have given rise to
the suggestion, as under this scheme
Uncle Sam pays for the books.
Under the old procedure, the laws
we're compiled and indexed after the
session had closed, which, considering
the time necessitated in printing and
indexing, brought the books out several
months after they were urgently re-
qnired,
Under the new method the indexing
is all that remains to be done when the
session closes, and as the greater part
OF this is done as each new law is run
of the presses, the last echo of legis-
latiye activity has hardly died away
before the books are ready for the law
yers and others interested
Also the federal government finds in
its expense bin in re tho Hawaiian
legislature an item for the printing Of
session laws, whereas the Territory for
merly had to stand the expense.

Hurrah for 1915.

WASHINGTON, January 3l.-By a
vote of two hundred and fifty-nine to
forty-three, the house of representatives

tion planned by San Francisco and Off
cially extending an invitation to all
nations to participate. Previous to
adopting the resolution, the house took
a preliminary vote on the rival claim
ants, San Francisco and New Or
leans. The vote showed one hundred
and eighty-eight to one hundred and
ffty-nine in favor of the California
city. This decided the fight, and on
the vote on the Joint resolution most
of the New Orleans supporters cast
their ballots for San Francisco.
The resolution will now go to the
senate, but this is looked upon as hard
ly more than formality and San
Francisco is sure of success.

horns and confetti, each member of the
great eoncourse hurrahing for the sue
cess of the San Francisco exposition in

to Abandon Galapagos
Islands Plan.

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, February /.
Yielding to the will of the people of
Ecuador, expressed in recent riotous de-
monstrations, President Alfaro yester-
day announced that all negotiations be-
tween the United States and Ecuador,
looking toward the acquiring of naval
base by lease on the part of the Unit
ed States, are to be regarded as aban-
doned.
The United States had made pro-
posal to lease the Galapagos Islands,
there to establish naval base and
coaling station. President Alfaro re-
ceived the suggestion with favor, but
the idea of favoring the United States
in such a way met with instant protest
from the Ecuadorians.

SHRINERS OPEN

"The shrinors we're certainly told by

we told our Simmer friends on the
Coast Just what had been told ua, - said
Mamie Phillips, q Shriner, yesterday.

from Mr. Hertsche concerning the
Shriner banquet aud ball and accom-
modations, and what we sent on to the
Coast was only what We were told
here. Now, Mr. Hertsche tells us that
he has plenty of room and that any
statements made there is not enough
hotel room here will hurt the town.
"There is a difference Of about two
hundred rooms in his statements to us
and those to The Advertiser"
Chairman's Statement.
John A. McCandless, chairman of the
Shriners' home committee, to which
committee was delegated the task of
ascertaining who among the local
Shriners would agree to take in the
Shriners coming here on the Wilhelmina
excursion in February, and who learn
ed before making such arrangements
that the Young, Moana and Hawaiian
hotels we're full, makes the following
reply TO General Manager Hertsche of
the three hotels, who states that he
has room for more than two hundred
people:
"Acting upon statements made to us
by the Young and Moana hotels man
agement, the Shriners' 'home commit
tee has written to San Francisco stat
ing that no accommodations for visit
ors can be expected in the local hotels
in February. We are therefore surpris-
ed to see it stated that there are plen-
ty of accommodations in the hotels. We
were told last Friday that there were
now only eight poor rooms in the Ha-
waiian and none in the Young and
that twenty of the Moana s thirty cot
tages were occupied.
"We interviewed the hotel manage
ment and were plainly told that no ae-
commodations could be promised. We
wrote to San Francisco accordingly
and the home committee was revived
to find accommodations in private
homes for visiting Shriners. Since
the Shriners and Elks began the plans
to have many visitors here, the mat
ter has been taken up several times,
and the result has been this final no
tice from the hotels that there were no
accommodations.
"The Seaside has stated that it can
take care of twenty eight or thirty peo-
Pile. But the other hotels have told
us not to rely upon them for any rooms
at all.
''In connection with the statements
now being made, we think that if there
is any misapprehension as to hotel ac-
commodations, the hotel management
alone is to blame"

a three-act comedy by Philip II. Bar
tholomae, will be presented under the
management OF William A. Brady.
"over Night" had nine months run in
New York City last season, being given
part OF the time at the Hackett Theatre and
the balance at Mr.. Brady's own theatre.
"The Playhouse" 1t was highly praised
by the New York critics, who declared il
to be the most laughable show in the town.
AS its title would suggest, the action is
comprised in one nights happenings, and
the scenes are laid on the Hudson River
steamboat "Hendrick Hudson" on her
trip up the river to Albany, and at the Rip
Van Wrinkle Inn in the Catskills. The
plot has TO do with the mishaps that befall
two young married couples on their honey
moon trip, and it Is said the author has
woven highly amusing story around the
theme, which never departs from good
taste. Mr., Brady promises a first class
production and good company. The in.
