W. r. Castle seconded the resolu.
ton offered by McCandless and senti
ment seemed strong for its passa &c,
but Carter had something to present
which changed the aspect of things
Declaring himself for the Irwin site
for Honolulu Beautiful" he said Il
am for the Irwin site, or at least a
| site which carries out the Milford
Robinson plans" He spoke a few
words simplifying his declaration and
! then presented his resolution as an
; amendment to that offered by Me.
Candless E. Faxon Bishop seconded
the Carter resolution. ct is evident
this meeting can't agreed, that Ho.
| nolulu cant agree on any one site,
,, and it looks like seven more weary
years. We can't get together--let's
ask the government to send out an
agent. Let them settle it, he said.
James A. Wilder, who had been APP
plauding vigorously whenever the
words Irwin site" were mentioned,
here arose
I've just one word to say Beau.
ty' he called out. and sat down.
Wilmington jumped up and said he.
agreed with the spirit of Carriers reso-
luton and urged that McCandless'
withdraw his own resolution but Nc
Candless declined to do so, and in this
determination was backed by num-
Der Of those in the ROOM
The vote, however, was heavily in
favor of the Carter resolution, which
came up first as an amendment to the
McCandless resolution The vote was
announced as 66 to %. Then calls
I were heard make it unanimous" and
/ ii was made unanimous with the ex-
ception of General Soper, Mahuka
site supporter and a stanch one to the
end
