GREAT BRITAINS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

WASHINGTON, February 27-Any
fear that the right of the United
States to fortfy the Panama canal
might be challenged and forced to
arbitration under the provision of the
pending Anglo Amerlcan arbitration
treaty has been dispelled by a state
ment from official sources that Great
Britain has already formally acknow-
lodged that right
On several occasions this acknowl-
edgement has been made, it was learn
ed today, but all doubt is said to have
been removed by a communication in
writing from the late Secretary Hay
to the Senate explanatory of the un-
derstanding he had reached with the
British representatives when the Hay
Pauncefote treaty was being negoti-
ated.
Hay explained every step of the ne
gotiations, and when he came to the
clause in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
prohibiting the fertilization of the
canal he offered a statement of the
reason that led him and Lord Paunce-
fote to omit that prohibition from the
new treaty, as follows:
"The whole theory of the treaty is
the the canal is to be entirely an
American canal. The enormous cost of
construction is to be borne by the
United States alone. When construct
ed, it is to be exclusively the property
of the United States and is to be man
aged, controlled and defended by it.
Under these circumstances, and
considering that now by the new
treaty Great Britain is relieved of all
the responsibilities and burden OF
maintaining its neutrality and securi-
ty, it was thought entirely fair to omit

BISHOP PARK STANDS CHANCE
Of EARLY EXPLOITATION

1t is probable that within the next
few weeks the trustees of the Bishop
Estate will have arrived at some
definite decision for the development
of the splendid piece of property now
forming the park on Bishop street
opposite the Young Hotel Just what
form this development will take is
not at present known, nor have the
trustees as yet formulated any actual
plan, according to statement made
by a member of that body. 1t is adj
mitted, however, that a number of
propositions are to be considered, and
that it is quite likely that some deiin.
lite line of action will be taken.
1t is known that various PROPOSE.
tons have been made the corporation
in connection with this property.
which from a business standpoint is
among the best blocks in the city. In
considering the matter, the proposal
of the Promotion Committee, that it
be provided with suitable quarters,
will be given consideration.
1t is reported that a local syndicate
may be formed to take over the block
on a lease basis, and to erect large
modern retail building on the King
and Bishop street corner. 1t is also
possible that the estate may decide
to make these improvements itself as
an investment.
Up to the present time the owners
of the property have considered that
the time for making any development
of the property in question was not
ripe, asd lately it has been holding

back awaiting a definite settlement Of
the Mahuka Federal building site
matter Now, however, it seems that
the trustees have decided to go ahead
without regard to this indefinite
project
Among the considerations which
will probably be gone over is the pro-
posal to erect on the property large
commercial building by the local com
mercial bodies jointly This is a mat
ter which has been considered for
several years by the Chamber Of Com
merce, the Merchants Association
and the Commercial Club The com
mittee of the chamber, which has had
the handling of the project had prac.
tically fixed upon this location as the
proper one for such a building. w.
r. Castle, chairman of the committee,
stated recently that tie matter was
tied up through unwillingness Of the
Bishop Estate to consider the matter
uHIll Jne lOCaLlOn OF the Federal build
ing was decided upon, owing to the
effect it was believed this would have
on land values in the vicinity. Now.
however, it seems that this will no
longer be an obstacle in the negotia-
lions.
If the commercial bodies build on
the lot, it is proposed to erect a COM
handing structure, the lower stories
of which would be rented as retail
business houses, while the three or
four upper floors would form offices
and quarters of most modern charac-
ter for the activities of the different
bodies interested

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
Ainsworth case, the row between the
line and staff of the army, the use Of
the army as a political machine and
the personal fued,s that are said to
threaten the efficiency of the army
viii all be investigated by the house
committee on expenditures in the war
department. This is the same com
mittee that recently turned the search
light on the scandal involving Mai,
Beecher B. Ray of the army pay corps,
who. it is alleged, was saved from
courtmartial on three separate occa-
,sions because of his political work in
the 1908 campaign.
A meeting of the committee on eX-
penditure in the war department has
been called for next Monday morning
at halfpast ten o'clock, when the
Ainsworth case will be discussed and
a plan of inquiry out ined. The chair
man and members of the committee
seem to feel that while the war de-
partmeut may regard the Ainsworth
case as closed by the acceptance of
that officers application for retire
ment, this view does not extend to
congress. Consequently it is propol ed
to dig to the bottom of the whole
matter, many members of the house
who are not members of this commit
tee expressing the belief that there
should be a general washing of dirty
army linen, a comprehensive airing
of bitter army feuds and a real house
cleaning.

the government would turn Oahu into
the Gibraltar of the Pacific" They
are anxious to have Gibraltar of the
Pacific" in their midst, and why the
people on the mainland should be SC
slow in digging up the money is a
thing they can't understand.
A little fertilization work has beer

which is scheduled to be such a tire
mendous naval base some time in the
not very definite future, is also still
pretty thoroughly unfinished.
The HawaiiGns think an uninter

be built all the way around Oahu. They
would like a garrison of $4,000 sol
diers.
Of course the purpose of all these
defenses and defenders is to guarC
against the Japanese.
Carefully refraining, however, from
any reference to Notifications, ask any
well-informed Hawaiian whether thu
islanders are afraid of Japan, and HI
won't be satisfied with a mere mega

scorn at the bare suggestion.

PASTORS AND LAYMEN DISAGREE
ON RELIGION FORWARD METHODS

Apropos of the Christian Extension
Movement in Honolulu, the following
report of conference in Washing
ton, D. c., from the Star of that city,
is interesting:
Decided disagreement between the
ministers of the local churches and
the laymen leaders of the men and
religion forward movement, which
came to head at the conference of
ministers in the First Congregational
church yesterday, bids fair to develop
into marked dissension at the union
institute and Inter-church conference,
which is to be held in the same church
this afternoon. Specialists from other
cities who have been working in the
eight-day campaign have prepared
series of recommendations based
upon their study of local conditions,
and the trouble lies in the execution
of the work which will be thus
mapped out
Although subsurface rumblings pre-
viously had indicated that all would
not be smooth sailing ahead, the first
indication of open hostility to the pro-
gram which was in prospect came in
response to the address of Robert M.
Hopkins, secretary of the Disciples
Sunday school board of Cincinnati,
Ohio, before yesterdays meeting of
ministers.
Mr.. Hopkins spoke about various
phases of the training of teachers for
the Sunday school, and he laid out a
schedule of work which the pastors
believed not only would weigh upon
them GENEROUSLY, but would seriously
affect their ability to give concen.
trated attention to the preaching OF
their sermons lat the regular church
services on Sundays work which
they did not hesitate to say they be-
lieved to be of paramount Importance
Voices the Opposition.
Rev j. NJ. NJ. Gray, pastor of Ham
line NJ. f. church, took the lead il
vocing opposition to Mr., Hopkins
ideas regarding the work which the
pastors should do, and there were
many indications of asserting opinion
from other ministerial delegates WIKI
were present.
The portion of Mr.. Hopkins re
marks which brought out the dissent
ing voices, in part, was as follows;
Simply handing out text books TO
teachers training is superficial, an
we need something more fundameT
tai, something deeper than that in tn
training of men, and I should sa
whether the pastor has a weehl

ogy of pupils is completely revolu.
tionizing the ideas of education, and
we need to have this under the super.
vision of these pastors. Whether the
pastor shall teach next Sundays les.
son is a wholly irrelevant matter.
Don't be tied up absolutely with
teachers training text books. l don't
want to impugn our publishers.
There are many books that are good,
but l think the average pastor who
has this conception of things can take
any one of those books and can pre-
pare helpful assistance from his own
study and experience. hope you viii
not understand that l am advocating
a one-year course for teachers.
Your teachers cannot by taking a
one-year course complete their prep
aration. This problem of training
teachers is a perpetual business and
should go on as long as the pastor is
true to his work.
Undr Five Heads.
u would put the teachers training
problem under five heads: Have an
actual teachers training class; month.
ly workers conference; institutes,
library that is helpful to teachers, and
the church literature to be censored
by the pastor.
do you know there are some pas.
tors who have never thought 1t worth
while to call about them the teachers
of the classes and tell them thay are
the greatest help he has. What az
opportunity there is"
To all of this program OF increased
work Rev. J. NJ. NJ. Gray took direct
exception when he said
; 81 am hardly old enough to Le
called a tory as yet, and stin l feel
that in our conference the pastors are
perhaps failing to realize what we
admit in private conversation to be
the most common point of weakness
the multiplication of our duties to
the weakening OF our pulpit ministry.
Effects Of oVerwork.
There was a time when the
churchs life was maintained by the
preaching from the pulpit Of the great
doctrinal fundamentals OF the church,
"Contemporaneous with the multi
plication OF the other duties there has
come a superfciality in preaching; a
hand-to-mouth sort of ministry from
: the pulpit, and the result is that we
are continually needing more and
more things that make our church go,
} outside Of the pulpit preaching.
, 81 am in hearty sympathy concern
? ing the connection between the Sun
. day school and the church, but ! be-
; lieve in permitting the pastors more
t and more to concentrate their work

point of view, that will aid it in UNI

Ainsworth. General Wood and other
high officers of the army will be ex-

that Secretary of War Simson will
