ippines, Australia and New Zealand,
and travellers of all nations approach
ing the United States from that side.
The city CT Honolulu is RAPIDLY
growing. It. is the chief port CT entry
for the entire territory. The imports
and exports aggregate somewhere
around $4,000, 900 q year: the Gus
toms receipts are approaching 81
100000 year II is the eleventh.
twelfth, or thirteenth in the list
in point of customs receipts, of
all the customs districts of the United
States. i understand the receipts
there are practically the same as for
the whole Puget Sound region. The
internal revenue receipts are large.
The pCstCffice business is increasing.
This building is to house two United
States district courts-that is. On9
district court with two judges-with
all their officers. attorneys, clerks,
! marshals and ether officials.
The city is growing in its permanent
residents, in its tourist travel. in the
people that are passing through tran
silently. and in the number of persons

of the United States. There are
over 1000 men there now in
these services. besides their
families and all their dependents. and
| it is the plan to double that number
in the near future, | believe.
Mr. Burnett According to the cen.
sus of 1910. what is the population
of Honolulu?
Mr. Frear The population of Homo.
! lulu was 52,1S3, think, or something
like that.
Mr. Burnett And the whole island
has less than 100000 has it not?
Mr.. Frear About that. but the po-
/ Dulation is increasing raDidly. From
1900 to 1910 the population Of Homo
lulu increased SO per cent. and it has
been increasing more ranidlv since
then. 1t is probably over $4,000 now.
and it is continuing to increase. and
this is going to he the chief port at
which transoeeanic steamers passing

in the neighborhoOd OF $200.0
something like that. and they do
about $4,000 900 worth of mOney-Or-
der business. or something like that.
At Honolulu alone the post-office' re-
ceipts from the sale Of stamps alone
was $l24.S63 last year, which was an
increase OF $4,000 over the year be
fore And of course there are other
receipts.
Mr.. Burnett. How much were the
postal receipts? Did you say $124,-
OGO? @rE
MIR Frear That vas for stamps
alone last year.
1t would seem exceedingly desira-
BILE to get larger site where this
building could be put, and with am
pie room for growth in the future
where it would present a respectable
appearance. and especially when an
ether site, and one more suitable. can
be obtained at so little cost.
Mr.. Burnett. How far is it from
the wharf?
Mr.. Frear. This site is about three
blocks from the nearest wharf, but il
is farther from where the NEST of the
big steamers dock.
Mr. Burnett. You own the site now
for the customs house, right down at
the dock, do you not?
Mr.. Frear. Yes; but that custom
house will have to be removed any
way to make room for new docks and
wharves. The territory is spending
now hundreds of thousands of dollars
for increased wharfage in Honolulu
to accommodate the traffic. which is
increasing very rapidly. The customs
house is very old building. made
quate for the purposes for which it
is intended, and it will have to be
tern down anyway at no distant date.
The Chairman. You think there
ought to be another site selected,
governor? -.:.
Mr.. Frear | am very decidedly of
that opinion, Mr. Chairman.
The Chairman. You do not think
this site is big enough? 49,. f.. --
Mr.. Frear. | do not think it is big
enough, and / do not think it is in
keeping with such a building as 1t Is
proposed to erect. 1.~.. r.. +, =.

MIR, Smith. One hundred and thir-
ty-five feet by two hundred feet will
accommodate a pretty large building,
will it not? The real reason is not
that il is not large enough. but IL is
not suitable location; is that not
so?
Mr. FrCar The building is to house
great many ofticials-the district
courts, post office, custom house, In,
ternal revenue collector, the shipping
commissioner, the immigration com
missioner. and army and navy Offices.
The Chairman. What you object
to-, as | understand IL, Is the fact
there are other buildings on the same
block. In other words, you would
have three views instead Of four, and
you think the building ought to be put
in a block by itself?
Mr. Frear. think so. And think
that would give room for growth in
the future.
Mr.. Burnett Has there not been
a sort Of quarrel between real estate
owners and real estate dealers in Ho-
nolulu for several years?
Mr.. Frear. In connection with this
site, but not in connection with the
other site indicating on plat).
Mr.. Burnett. That is the assurance
we have had. We have been thrash
ing out this Honolulu situation for a
long time, and it looked to me like
the whole thing was a quarrel be-
tween real estate men over there.
Mr.. Frear. think the owners In
terested in real estate were the ones
that favored the present site. although
think a great many others thought
that would be the best site irrespec-
tive of that, but | think the rest OF
the people more generally favor some
other site
Mr. Single would like to ex-
plain that. having gone around per-
sonally and gotten several gentlemen
to give me $35, 900 to put this street
through, which was an cut and out
donation. and having talked an arm
off of the trustees and the people
who owned this property originally to
give it to Uncle Sam for so per cent
of what is was worth, never was

ELABORATE DINNER
TO BE ABANDONED

tors OF the Amen Corner, whose an
nual dinner in February attracts wide
attention, decided today to hold no
dinner this winter, Charles T. White
the President said. The cost of the din

tress.
There is pronounced sentiment
among the Bretheren against making
merry this winter. The conviction is
unanimous that a $40 plate dinner OF
500 people, whose chief purpose is to
ridicule and satirize the follies of men,
would be inappropriate when evidence
IS plentiful that many worthy people
in New York will be without suffi-
cient food and clothes to keep then,

The dinner was to have been on Feb

WESTERN POINT
German Announcement says
Continuous Fire Caused
Unnecessary Losses.

Berlin, Dec. THE evacuation by
the Germans Saturday night of Ver-
nelles, southeast OF Bethune, was off,
ctally announced in a statement is
sued here today. The statement says:
Vernelles was evacuated by us ac-
cording to our plan on account of the
continuous French artillery fire which
was causing unnecessary loss. The
buildings which remained standing
We're blown by us and our troops oc-
cupied positions prepared east of Ner-
nelles SO that. the enemy could not
follow in this direction.
Southwest Of Altkirch the French
renewed their attack with reinforce
ments but without success and they
suffered heavy loss.
Nothing of note has taken place in
the war area east Of the Mazuaran
lakes where the enemy remained
quiet. The battle around LODI is TAX
ing it's course as we had expected. In
southern Poland there is no change in
the situation.
Scrvians Still Capable.
Reports received in Berlin indi-
cate that the Seryians still are capa-
Bile of Offering considerable resistance.
The Scrvian rear guard III the neigh
borhood of Arandjelovac (about 80
miles southeast Of Belgrade) have de-
livered several attacks to cover the
retreat of the main army.
Although for two days there have
been no details of operations in any
OF the theaters of war. entire conf
dence is felt in Berlin that events are
progressing favorably for the German
armies. The report that in Poland OPP
erations are following their normal
course can only mean success in the
German advance as checks would not
be described as.norinal.
