PASSES $4,000
Collecting is Still in Progress;
Flood Sufferers May Receive
$12, 600 From This City

Today the total amount contributed
by Honolulu Chinese and American
businessmen of Hawaii for relief OF
the China flood sufferers passed the
$4,000 mark. The entire sum given
tor this worthy cause to date now
reaches the imposing sum of s10,01s,
and by Monday Of next week II is ex.
pected the total will reach nearly $12.
900.
No further contributions were cabled
to China today, but either Saturday or
Monday nearly $4,000 more will go out
to assist the Canton and other flood
sufferers in China.
To date this week $4,000 has been
cabled to China by local Chinese relief
ORGANIZATIONS. The Honolulu Chinese
Christian Union Monday cabled $4,000,
while Tuesday the United China Soci-
ETY. sent $42O more. These sums. ad-
ded to the $195S which had been sent

scription committees of the Chinese
Christian Union and the United China

Taisei Maru WireIessed July q
She'd Make Frisco Next

JAPANESE IN HONOL ULU
PLANNING RECEPTION
Cadets, Slated as Due Here on
August 25, Were to Be
Feted BY countrymen

With more than 100 cadets on board,
the Toxic Mercantile Marine School
ship Taisei Maru, due here August 25,
Is feared to be lost off the California
coast. The vessel wirelessed to the
Japanese Association at San Francisco
on July % that 1t would pass through
the Golden Gate on the following day.
That was Is days ago and since then
nothing has been seen or heard OF
the Taisei Maru and efforts to get into
wireless communication with her have
failed.
The Taisei Maru is equipped with
wireless apparatus and Is four-mast-
ed bark, but has auxiliary steam power
and twin screws Ordinarily she would
not use the auxiliary power except In
entering or leaving harbor, or in the
event Of damage to her masts.
Before sailing from Shinagawa in
June the bark took supplies for four
months cruise. This cruise was to
take her to San Francisco, where she
was due about 10 days ago. Il Is be-
lieyed she was running ahead Of time
13 days ago when she wirelessed In to
San Francisco that she would arrive
at that port the following day.
II is said she carries cadets to the
number or los men, including her
crew. She carries no freight, only
supplies and ballast being aboard The
local Japanese associations had plan
ned q warm and enthusiastic welcome
for the cadets when the vessel arrived
here, which would have been on
August 25 or thereabouts, IL all went
we'll Her itinerary called for direct
voyage from japan to San Francisco
where q few days were to have been
spent viewing the exposition. She
would then have proceeded direct to
Honolulu and after few days here
would have returned to Japan.
Details are lacking. A special cable
from the Japanese Association at San
Francisco to the Nippu Jill at Homo
lulu gave what news of the ship is
known In San Francisco. 1t is be-
lieved that either the ship is disabled
and drifting around unable to keep her
course and is unable to wireless for
assistance. or else is at the bottom
of the sea. according to the informa-
tion received by the Nippu Jill.
She has gross tonnage of 202S and
a net tonnage of 1741. C. Furuya is
her master, according to Lloyd's reg
lister. She was built for the Japanese
government at the Kawasaki Dock
yards Company, Kobe, in 1904 and is
277.4 feet long and 42.9 beam.

"As yet am in the dark as 10 the
company's plans to relieve passenger
congestion when the Pacific Mail
quits" said Mr.. Drew today, but ]
feel that 1t will take steps to save the
tourist trade for the islands. / do not
think the company's plans have ma
tured as yet, and for that reason there
is no chance for our agency to get any
definite information, for while at
least.
eff new steamers are to be put on
the Honolulu-San Francisco run 1t Is
probable that they will be built for our
company, as the Matson steamers are
especially constructed for the short
run between these two ports. They
are so built as to accommodate prin-
cipally first-class travel, as there is
little call for second-class accommo-
dations between the islands and the
coast That is one argument against
the proposal for the Matson company
to buy Pacific Mail steamers. Then
again, the Pacific Mail liners are so
constructed as to make loading and un-
loading slower than with our type OF
steamers. They were built for long
hauls.

will quit" he added, for its steamers
have done much for the islands, but |

Bryan's "Jingo Editors

y 4 e
Among his rapid-fire deliveries of
the last few days Mr.. Bryan has is
sued a statement rejoicing that the
press regards the note to Germany
as more friendly than had been ex-
pected. He accuses the lingo edi-
tors" of assuming That the note was
to be hostile beyond chance of COM
posing differences; and he says it is
a relief that they are emphazing
the friendly tone of the note and
pointing out that it does not neces-
sarily mean war;.
The impression Of some folk-not
many editors, by the way-that the
note meant or might mean was was
based on tho actions of Mr.. Bryan
himself. He left the cabinet rather
than sign the note. What on earth
could the press and the public as
sumo from that other than that he
thought the note meant war, what
ever the rest Of us thought?
