private ownership has been a fright
to contemplate, especially by those
who assisted In floating the corpora
ton and made It the first and only
popular corporation that has ever ex-
listed in tie territory. The idea Of the
directors acting On such an important
matter as the postponement of the
Carnival, without even making a
struggle to call the stockholders to-
gether is exceedingly short-sighted and
most unbusiness-like. / think that any
excess language members of the Pro
motion Committee used as result OF
the action OF the Carnival directors
who are assuming unlimited authority,
Is fully justified. fail to see any
reason why Hawaii should quit BUSH
ness or quit advertising its climate or
quit having day or two Of amuse-
ment because Of a war in. Europe,
though II is the worlds greatest war
horror. Americans are going to travel
somewhere next winter. In fact we
have enough people here in the islands
to make IL worth while holding q
celebration Of Washington's birthday
and also advertising the fact abroad.
] DO hate a gutter, especially one who
lays down before he knows whether
his stockholders want him to or not.
EMIL A. BERNDT-I am not ac-
quainted with the Carnival directors,
point Of view regarding postponing
the Carnival, but from a Promotion
Committee standpoint do not believe
that the Carnival should be omitted.
believe that the tense situation in
Europe will not be reflected upon our
country, and that the development of
tourist traffic to Hawaii will be
greater than ever before on account
OF this situation. Now is the time to
advertise. / liken the tourist bust
ness to the sugar business; sugar has
profted by the situation, and Ha-
walls tourist crop should profit for
the same reason. The European
countries now are out Of the tourist
field entirely. Sugar men are profit
ing; We should do the same. 1t is a
business proposition. / believe in
temporary cautiousness, however, so
that We can first satisfy ourselves
whether America is to be involved.

believed, that the Carnival brought
into the territory the money which
was put into it. Regarding circus
for the Carnival what good will that
do here? People can see those things
all through the United States.
think that IL the money put into the
Carnival was put into permanent i'm
provements for Honolulu, far better
results would be obtained. There
isn't a public lavatory In this city and
improvements along that line-along
lines of. civic betterment-would
bring better results than temporary
parade.
HARRY ,STRANGE-With such a
condition as is now in existence in
Europe, People naturally are under
going a strain. After the crisis is
over, the first thing they will seek
will be enjoyment The Carnival will
be just what they will need then.
Why not make Honolulu place
where all can come and forget their
troubles? Despite the war, tourists
are going to travel. They cannot go
to Europe; why not bring them to
Hawaii?
E. /. SPALDING-I do not favor
abandoning the Mid-Pacific Carnival.
/ do believe it is q wise thing TO tenn
porarily hold the matter in allegiance
until it Is ascertained what effect the
European war will have on tourist
travel and on local conditions. That
will only be known as operations de-
velop, and from the length of the war
which is believed will come to close
in few months.
r. w. BRECKoNS-My judgment
would be that the war in Europe
would make of Hawaii the most popu-
lar tourist resort in the world, and /
believe that the 1915 Carnival would
be the best attended Of any ever held.
/ believe the directors made a griev-
Gus error in taking any action that
will tend to even suggest that the af-
fair may be cancelled.
]. L. "COPPER" do not think the
directors of the Carnival should have
taken any action in postponing the
celebration without first having con-
suited the stockholders Why not call
for a vote by postal card and in that
way ascertain the opinions of the
stockholders and then act according
ly?
C. G. BOCKUS--I am certainly not
in favor of postponing the Carnival.
The war may be over by next Febru-
airy; in any event Hawaii should keep
up its annual celebration ! fail to
see why war in Europe should cause
us to do away with our Carnival.

RICHMOND
And Cleveland as Regional
Bank Locations Are Very
Unsatisfactory.
lnere,AL e &C rrLrenAn,

WASHINGTON, D. c., April B.
Judging by expressions obtained from
West Virginia bankers while the To-
cation of the federal reserve bank
cities was under Iteration by the
organization committee. scarcely one
OF them will be satisfied with the ar
rangement by which the northern
panhandle counties are attached to
the Cleveland district, and the rest
of the state to Richmond. There is
dissatisfaction in Washington, also,
and it has been pointed out that the
capital Of the United States has been
made subsidiary to the old capital
of the Confederate states, being at
tached to the district whose head viii
be Richmond, Va.
Aside from the counties of Han
cock, Brooke, Ohio and Marshall, all
of West Virginia is EN- braced in the
Richmond district, while the four
counties named are attached to
Cleveland. The poll of the bankers
of the state some weeks ago, made
by Congressman Sutherland. shows
that Pittsburg was the first choice of
the state by a wide margin and that
Baltimore was second, with scarcely
a vote in the state for either Cleve-
land or Richmond.

TANG0ING OF
COMMITTEE IS
SERIOUS AFFAIR
Declares Senator Weeks, Re-
publican, in Statement about
Reserve Banks.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Senator
John w Weeks, Republican, of Mass
achusetts, of the Senate banking COM
mittee, who was active in considering
the Glass Owen bill and finally voted
for it issued statement today, saying
he fairly questioned "the propriety of
locating two banks in the home state
of one of the members and one in each
of the other members especially when
in two, if not three, of these cases they
are not the natural location of reserve
banks"
"The apparent and confessed at
tempt to eliminate the business, which
naturally goes to New York, may prop
erIy be criticised not only because 1T
is unfair he said, "but it is so I'M
scientific that in the end it will not be
effective.
'.The most serious criticism how
ever and one in which l am unqua1i-
fed is of the committees tangoing
about for the purpose of asking people
If they wanted a reserve bank. OF
course the local cry of every commun-
ity would develop the same reply; ant
this has embarrassed the committee
so that they have authorized twelve
banks very materially weakening the
system by so doing and developing a
system for which there was really no
demand"

bad and growing worse.

cent advance would not meet our
needs. 1t would save the situation

advance would be insufficient and for
railroads in our territory to keep out
Iof the hands of receivers and pros

ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 3.-There
was a growing apprehension today
that the sealing steamer, Southern
Cross. went down with all on board
during the blizzard off Cape Race
Tuesday. She carried crew of 10
men and was heavily loaded with
1900 seal skins, trophies of hunt
recently concluded in the Gulf of ST.

Hope for the safety of the vessel
based on a dispatch from Sydney,
N. S., which stated that wireless
message had been received there re-
porting the arrival of the Southern
Cross was dissipated before noon
when the government after several
hours inquiry declared the Sydney re-
port untrue.
The government has Instituted an
extended search for the missing yes
sci and appeals to the United States
for assistance.
The sealer, Bellaventure, with her
cargo of dead, is blocked in the ice,
100 miles north OF here and cannot
arrive before Sunday. She went to
the aid of her sister sealer. The New

the latter were caught by the storm
while killing seals Tuesday and were
unable to regain their ship.
The Bellaventure, the Stephano

and a number Of survivors. It is
known that fifty-eight lives were
lost and some thirty men are not ac-
counted for.

TORREoN, Mex, April 3.-Torreon

six-days' battle, was occupied by the
rebels last night on the heels OF the
fleeing federals.
In all the fighting no foreigner was
killed or injured. The fighting began
last Friday and was almost contin-
uous. At first Villa attempted assault
on the strong federal positions IN day
light but these proved costly so the
days were spent in cannonading and
the nights in assaults. Positions were
taken and lost time and again
Night attacks sent the federals
scurrying from strong positions but
at daybreak the captives would DC
compelled to abandon them by the ac-
curacy of the enemy's artillery nre

agree with Debs entirely in his politi-
cal and economic views, have naught
but praise for his sincerity.
Debs was in excellent form and he
showed his old-time vigor and endur-
ance in his hour and thirty-minute
speech, which touched every phase
of the Socialist philosophy, usually
as a reply to what he
termed 1.-The men who have
given but slight thought, if any, to
it, and who have gained their i'm
preston fro mits enemies" He as
sured his audience that no one can
seriously consider Socialism without
subscribing to its tenets. He urged
those who held to the views of the
Socialist to become members. of the
Socialist party, to unite politically as
well as economically in labor unions.
In speaking of the impending So
cial revolution" Debs said:
"At the dawn of every day my
hearty hail goes out to all the work
ers of the world. They are my com
rades, and 1 covet no greater wealth
than to have their respect and love.
"And 1 include them all, on equal
terms, regardless of race or creed or
sex; and my loving greeting goes out
to them all as it follows the sunrise
