For five full frames the Griffmen
looked like infants at the plate. They
chopped and they swung all to no

foe with great ease. Only in the eighth
did the Griffmen succeed in punching
two bingles and getting a run over.
The support given the lanky finger
was dazzling and prevented the das-

The star work Of the day, aside from
the spectacular performance of Falky,

FREAR APPROVES
EDUCATIONAL
COMBINE

Governor Frear approves, at least IN
art. Of the suggestion made editorial
Iy tv the Star-Bulletin yesterday, that
ussibie anna 5 ;mation of the four big
educational institutions in the terri
tory: the board of agriculture and for
cstry; the College of Hawaii; the
federal experiment station and the
Normal school.
The combination of the federal en-
I"riment station, and the college of
Hawaii hls been under discussion for
the last five of six years, with con-
s., essman, the secretary of the interior
and other federal officials" said the
governor.
Such a move necessarily must have
the approval of the federal govern
rrent because the combination would
lie a beneficiary of government aid
2 he plan is feasible and quite a COM
mon one, in the states, where the ex-
reriment stations are joined under ono
head with colleges and universities.
1T so far has not been deemed ex-
Eedient here because the College of
Hawaii which naturally would become
the head of the larger organization,
vas not on a properly substantial
basis. 1t is only recently that the
institution has moved into permanent
quarters.
Now it seems reasonable that steps
might be taken to bring all those de-
! artments together in the near u'ure.
I'VE have also been considering the
scheme of combining the hyropraphic
survey department. and the depart
ment of forestry and agriculture for
some time, believing that Letter re-
suits might be obtained by bringing
together these two whose lines OF
work are so closely related

DRESS Up FOR
PARADE

DireCtOr-Gencral ChillingWOrth, OF
the Floral Parade, is giving a great
&c al Of attention at the present time
suitG bly, Dc cOrated for the Celebra-
uCn Of Washingtons birthday. Il
think that it is up 10 the merchants
of Honolulu to spread themselves on
decorations this year" ne said this
morning. We are going TO have a
splendid parade and We would like
to add to the impression which the
parade will make by having the city
brilliantly decorated"
The matter of decorating the city
las been enthusiastically taken up b.
those connected with the parade, and
the following letter has been sent to
a number OF the business men and
merchants Of the city:
The Mid-Pacific Carnival and
Floral Parade management is not able
this year to undertake the decorations
of the city on the plan originally cut
lined, funds being insufficient TO do
this, and at the same time carry out
the other features for the days Of
1T is earnestly requested that the
merchants themselves undertake this
decoration, each attending to his own
premises. The city will be crowded
the entire week, and should show all
the patriotic colors possible. Our Wis
itors will be from all parts Of the
country, and by a liberal show of
decoration, We can greatly add to
their appreciation of Hawaii and their
friendship for us as a territory. On
the other hand, if we fail to show
such spirit, We shall give an unfavor-
able impression.
I'VE want people to return to their
homes telling how Honolulu blazed
with decorations and American colors
on the birthday of George Washing
ton. Will you help?"
This letter is signed by julius I'm
ger, chairman of the committee on
decorations, and each has a postal
card attached in order that the mer-
chant may notify the parade officials
whether or not they will offer their
help. Those connected with the parade
feel assured that they will receive
the hearty cooperation of the mer-
chants in overcoming the difficulty
which is set forth in the letter.

nance committee. This committee
reported the same to the board, and
a necessary deficiency appropriation
was passed.
Under the present accounting
system the county treasurer has no
means Of checking the correctness of
any Of the warrants drawn by the
county auditor. 1t is impossible to
state with any degree of accuracy,
whether the accounts of the County of
Hawaii fully and fairly disclose the
position of it's affairs, or in what re-
spect they fail to do so. A mere
skimming of the financial affairs of
the county will not suffice. 1t is
recommended that a detailed audit of
the county books from the commence
ment Of county government, July l.
1908, to date, should be undertaken at
once by one thoroughly conversant
with the methods of municipal &C
counting. Such an audit would take
from four to six months, and would
cost between $500 and $4,000"
