Will
AID 1915 FAIR
Commission

Although the appropriation made
by the legislature for an Hawaii ex-
hibit at the San Francisco fair in 1915
was not as large one as was hoped
for, it insures, however, that the
islands will have a representation
which should compare favorably with
all others The members CT the Ha-
wall fair commission, as well as the
members OF the promotion commit
tee, are determined to do all in their
power to present an attractive exhibit
ton of everything which Hawaii has
to offer, and believe that as a direct
result of this that travel, to Hawaii
will be largely increased and that
thousands of dollars will be distrib-
uted throughout the islands,
At the meeting of the promotion
committee which was held yesterday
afternoon at half-past three o'clock,
Secretary Wood thus expressed his
opinion regarding the action of the
legislature and outlined what he be-
lieved will lie the direct results of
the local exhibit at the Panama
Pacific exposition. On account of the
comparatively small sum which the
legislature appropriated for the ex-
hibition, the promotion committee and
the Hawaii fair commission will be
unable to place in San Francisco an
exhibit which will equal that shown
at Seattle, unless the government APP
propriases a substantial sum, as it is
believed it viii. However, with the
amount now on hand, it is believed
that Hawaii will be in position to
place at the fair small but attrac-
tive exhibit.
The meeting yesterday was largely
devoted to considering plans suggest
ed by Chairman Waldron whereby the
committee will investigate the advisa-
Eility of placing albums containing
Hawaiian views in the limited trains
which cross the continent and in the
trans-Pacific steamships. The idea
of the plan is TO get something elab-
crate and attractive in the way of adj
vertising Hawaii which would appeal
20 the travelling public.
The matter of retaining Walter u.
Smith as lecturer for the promotion
committee during the coming year
was brought UP for consideration, and
will be taken up more thoroughly at
the next meeting Smith is now COM
pleting tour of the southern states,
where he has been delivering illus
trated lectures on the Hawaiian
Islands. letters received from him
at a recent date ell of. the success
with which his lectures have been
met in the south. Smith has proved
a valuable addition to the adyertis-
ing end of the promotion committee
work, and it is expected that his
work will be continued.

NOTION \. PICTURE
ISDISAPPROVED
BY CENSORS

Insisting that Cell No. Is" the pic
lure shown at Ye Liberty theater to
which objection has been expressed IN
no uncertain terms by number OF
persons, is Objectionable because. II
presents an immoral plot without car
rying the plot to a logical conclusion
and showing the inevitable and ter
rible result of such immortality. A. F.
Cooke this morning condemned the
picture strongly. "My objection to
the Cell No. 49, said Cooke, who
is chairman of the law and order COM
mittee, Civic Federation. 'is that only
half of the truth of the picture is
shown. The circumstances leading up
to vice, the suggestive circumstances
are revealed, but the moral, the IN
evitable end of vice in suffering and
punishment, is not shown"
OF the considerable number OF men
and women asked by the management
to attend the presentation of the pic
ture yesterday afternoon Mrs. U.
Thompson, Mrs. E. w. Jordan and
Mrs. A. G. Smith said this morning
that they denounced the film as i'm
moral and suggestive. fThe picture
certainly is not of the kind that
should be shown in Honolulu" Mrs.
Thomson said. IL believe in moving
pictures because, when properly cen
sored, they are instructive and edu.
cational: but surely great harm Is
done when we permit immoral and
suggestive pictures to be presented.
7 I'd nj
should be appointed to pass on all
pictures before they are presented to
the public This action seems to me
to be necessary and to afford the only
solution of the problem.
C. H. Dickey also expressed himself
as being opposed to the presentation
of Cell No. 13."
Among those who stated that they
could see no harm in the picture are
]. D. McInerny and G.. A. Mcintosh.
Il could see nothing wrong with the
picture" McInerny said The acting
is very fine indeed, and the scenes
are spledidily dramatic. l believe,
TOO, that moral is presented in the
climax of the picture.
There was talk this morning OF
getting out an Injunction to prevent
the picture being shown this evening,
which is the last time it is to be pre-,
scented in Honolulu Sheriff Jarrett
is the only person who can order
the picture stopped by police power
and it is not believed that he will
take drastic action to stop the last
performance.
The idea that a board of censors
should be appointed with power to
pass on all pictures exhibited in Homo
lulu gained in favor this morning. A.
F. Cooke pointed out that moving
pictures, if the right kind, may well
emphasize a strong moral lesson. For
example" Cooke said, 1.-The picture OF
Satan at the Hawaii gives both the
story and the moral | should recon-

tions, a virtuoso of no mean ability.
After five years Prof. Domingo be-
came conductor of the orchestra his
uncle once directed, giving at the
same time his first public violin reci-
tal He later resided in Shankhai
and Hongkong. at which places he
took further instructions from ad-

mers daily, and the prospect looks
very bright for its success and future
development.

ing that the patient was suffering
from At. The woman was then
lying in what was an apparently I'M
conscious condition. Upon arrival at
the hospital, the physicians pro-
nounced her as dead.
The woman has been associated
with the underworld of this city. for
period OF about fifteen years. She
is believed to have grown daughter

The report reached the police this
morning that the Martin woman APP

The administration committee of the.
Maui Library Association held a meet
ing recently at which it was voted
to ask the Library of Hawaii to make
the Maui Library Association the
the Honolulu books for Maui. This
plan has been tentatively agreed upon
by several parties who had written
the Library of Hawaii in reference to
the circulation of their books. Lists
of books will be sent to the librarian
at Waikiki, and these lists will be
filed with the librarian in Honolulu.
When the books are sent to Maui they
will be distributed without cost to
the parties desiring them and return
ed to the Maui library to be sent back
to Honolulu. Inasmuch as the Maui
Library Association has to be re-
sponsible for the books that come
from Honolulu that association is re-
qtesting that all parties taking books
IN various sections of Maui make
themselves in turn responsible for the
books that come into their posses
sion. The plan of sending the books
free of charge has been arranged for
through the administration committee
of the Maui library, so that the pub
lie generally can have the benefit of
the Honolulu books. This is the pur-
pose too of the Honolulu library. The
Maui Library Association which pro-
vides for the private purchase of
books by the dues of the members
of the association will still continue
its work as previously.

DIR. Lyman Beecher Sperry spoke at
the Maunaolu Seminary on Saturday
evening to the girls of that school,
and on Sunday morning at the Paia
church He addressed the large audi
ence that assemblies upon "Supersti-
tons, Decisions and Fads All who
heard him were much interested in
his discussion of the question. He
spoke to large audience again Sun
day evening in the Waiiuku Union
church. His address lasted over an
hour and three-quarters but the audi
ence gave him the closest possible
attention. His topic was "As a Man
Thinketh". or Psycho-Therapeutics in
plain English. Everyone at the church
agreed that DR.. Sperry is one Of the
ablest speakers that has ever come
to Maui. Many spoke to him after
wards and thanked him most heartily
for his address, which was delivered
from the standpoint of a physician.
His argument was exhaustive and
most convincing. His bursts of humor
kept his audience smiling even when
listening to arguments that were of
the most serious kind. Many have
called his address the ablest lecture
ever delivered in Waikiki.
DR.. Sperry spoke on Monday at the
Waihee and Puunene schools, and in
the evening spoke to the boys at the
Lahainaluna school Here his address
was also deeply appreciated.
There was a surprise party dance
given last Saturday evening at the
Puunene clubhouse by the ladies' Of
Puunene for the young men reoming
at the club. Not one of them knew
a thing about the plans until they
were invited to good time in their
own parlors. Those, who could not
dance had to get in and try even
though they did afford a great amount
Of amusement for the onlookers The
ladies brought delicious refreshments
with them, and the affair was one or
the jolliest ever given in PuJnene.
The ladies there know how to do a
thing well when they undertake 1t.
