The Pan Pacife Club on Tuesday at
noon win begin its regular weekly
lmcheons. For the present, these will
be held at Cooke Hall, until the club
moves into its own building.
/. About 60 English-spe people Of
the many Pacific nationalities resident
In Honolulu win be present. and the
work outlined VIII be to get q better

who each is, and what he has accom-
plished and stands for.
The Pan-Pacific Club is the local ex-
preston Of the Hands-Around-the-P Pa
cific Movement. 1T will seek to enter
tain in Honolulu the prominent visit
ors from every part of the Pacific who
arrive here from time to time, and in
this way bring about an acquaintance
between the leading business men Of
every nationality in Honolulu and
leading men OF other Pacific lands, the
idea being that with all of the people
OF Honolulu working together to make
Honolulu better known to the rest OF
the Pacific, much more can be accom-,
plished than bys each nationality work
ing INDEPENDENTLY. and often against
the others.
The young men Of the community
are especially invited to become ac-
quainted with the educated and pro-
sresslye men of other nationalities
than their own, and for this reason an
excellent luncheon is served at set
price Of Is cents, although those wish.

Former Police Lieutenant Charles Becker Of
New York today paid the penalty of his crime,
the murder of Gambler Rosenthal The
execution of the death sentence ends one of the
most famous criminal trials in New York state
history. Perhaps none in the last three de-
cades surpasses it in absorbing public interest
except the Thaw trials.
The Thaw millions, coupled with sentimental
aabbiness on the part Of iuries, finally freed
the Pittsburg rake after nine years Of effort. In
the case of Becker the sentimental fabbiness
was fortunately lacking. The evidence was
overwhelmingly that he was cool, calculating
corrupter of public officials and beneficiary Of
welcomed graft.
There is no contradiction that Becker had
the opportunity to present every scrap Of evil
dence; was given the benefit of every doubt
that could be raised in process of law. Two
juries found him guilty of murder in the first
degree. The court of appeals set aside the first
conviction on the Grounds of unfair trial
-Four pitiful wretches had already paid,
whit their lives, for the part they took IN the
murder of Rosenthal 1t has been established
over and over again that although the hands
Of these -four electric chair victims did the
actual shooting, the voice that called for the.
pulling Of the trigger was the voice of Becker.
More than year has elapsed since the four
gunner were electrocuted, and il cannot be
said that heat of passion, born of popular in
dignation figured in the last Becker trial The
trial was held and the decision rendered in al
calm, dispassionate atmosphere, nearly three
years after the crime No extenuating circum-
stances could be invoked in Becker s favor that

Delegates to the coming city charter con-
venfion win be particularly interested and
taxpayers Of Honolulu should be generally in
'tere>ted 81 knowing that the city manager
plan is getting notable results IN efficiency
wherever it is being tried ii the states.
IA writer in The National Municipal Review
says that the commission manager plan has
been taken up already by twenty-five cities and
towns and five states now have optional laws
permitting cities to adopt the machinery. But
the country is not so much interested in the
growth Of the idea at tbs time as it is in the
results that have been obtained and the dangers
that have been exposed By the experiments.
Speaking in the terms of efficiency, the newer
plan compares most favorabIy with the inan-
cial showing made under the old government
Operating expenses in Dayton in 1914 we're
ST. 700 over The year before, but the commits
sion manager regime gave $4,000 worth of
new services, without taking into consideration
that the old government had used 100000 of a
food prevention bond issue for ordinary oper-
ating expenses.
In the first year Springfield, Ohio, saved
$4,000, floating dabt Of $780, 600 was wiped
of the slate, the street cleaning department en-
larged its activities By IS per cent, and garbage
collection was extended to all houses. In La:
Grande, Oregon, the town warrants had de-
preciated to such an extent that the bank rel
fused to take them under any consideration.
In the first year $$335, 600 was paid off and an
other $50, 600 was cleared away in the first four
