STEAMER EDITH
TO CALL HERE
FOR CARGO

That the Hawaiian islands offer a
profitable and tempting field for ex-
portation and importation is .appar-
entity the opinion held by several CAPT
talists and steamship men along the
Pacific coast, judging from the re-
port received at Honolulu today that
the American steamer Edith a yes
sci that has been operated by the
Alaska Steamship Company in the
northern business, would be dispatch.

few days. the Edith having been sup

UGLY COMMENTS

Company has never had any other
proposition.
If, however, the department in
washington decides that it will not
use the Mahuka site without the Fort
street front, and for that reason must
abandon this location, then Mr. Shin
gle will see what can be done to pro-
tect that large number of business
people in Honolulu who contributed
and paid the entire cost of the open
!. ing of Bishop street from King to
Merchant, with the distinct under
standing and agreement on the part
of the United States government that
when this street was opened the Ma
huka site should be used. If the
United States government abandons
the Mahuka site, it must, in all JUS
tice, and / believe will be held legally
bound, to restore to all those people
the amounts they contributed.
If. however, the Mahuka site is no
longer "in the ring" and the United
States government will not use this
site, then Mr.. Single will endeayor,
in what he believes to be in the in
terests of the business community of
Honolulu and of the whole territory
and in this it will be found, that the
opponents are mainly faddists-to
procure a site near to the Mahuka
site; that is to say, the block bound
ed by Merchant. AIakea, Queen and
Bishop streets, and for this he may
ard may net. receive a commission: :
it is none of my business, and | do
not know anything about it. But if he
sells the lot in all probability he will
get the commission he is entitled to
receive, just as the Advertiser ex-
pacts to be paid for its services as a
printer
IL Mr.. Single has any other bust
ness in Washington, trust he will be
able to carry it through successfully
and thereby help to pay his expenses
which are not borne by the public,

d request from President Harrington
that some immediate action be taken
in the matter regarding the possible
change in the site, he was authorized
TO arrange a Joint general meeting Of
the merchants and OF the members Of
the Chamber of Commerce to be held
early next week, al which time jeff
McCarn win be asked to make a
statement OF the present situation re
gardfng the buisiing site. and at
which time such action may be taken
as deemed advisable
Delegate Kuhio is not in Washing
ton and 1t is considered probable that
the cablegrams signed by him are
from his secretary, Jack Desha, bear
ing cut the ideas of the delegate
A motion to the effect that a joint
general meeting Of the members be
called was made by Ed Towse. and
accepted unanimously. T. ~ Church,
one of the directors, who had a
Lengthy interview with the United
States district attorney at noon yes.
terday on matters pertaining to the
building site, was asked to explain
to the directors the details of the
consultation.
Il am inclined to think that things
are hopeless for the Mahuka sita un-
less there are further and immediate
developments, = said Mr. Church.
Mr. MeCarn evidently is opposed to
the site but appears to be tactful
enough not to come out and say SO.
The present appropriation is not srlf-
ficient to pay the awards, let alone
the interest, and / believe the pres.
Ont administration would .joppose a
new appropriation The Merchants
Association should take up the mat
ter energetically 1t should get busy.
Mr.. McCarn's argument is that money
can be saved by the government IL
the Maliuka site is given up. If, by
doing this, 100000 or 100000 can
be saved by the government, why does
il not purchase 4 site nearby? On
the other hand. it might prove diff
cult matter to get the appropriation
changed TO another site
'eThe only thing to DO is to call a
general meeting and call it quick
Call for a card vote in the matter
We want a yuilding and that's the
most important thing II we can
clear ourselves as to first and second
choice, we will be able to get some
where. We can call meeting of the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce and take vote as to the first
and second choice fer site. II will
mean something and then we will be
able to get action
President Harrington said that Mr.
McCarn has expressed a willingness
to be present and speak at such a
Mr. Harrington this morn
ing communicated with President
George R. Carter of the Chamber of
Commerce with view to arranging a
meeting at as early date as pos
sibIe, and it now is expected that one
will be called either Monday or Tues
