PROMOTION MEN.
Still may GET
EXTRA $500

Consideration of the Promotion
Committees 1916 budget precipitated
spirited and at times acrimonious de-
bate between Promotion Committee
members and Chamber of Commerce
men, at a special meeting of the
chamber this afternoon to discuss and
take action on the budget.
Z. Faxon Bishop started things
when he introduced resolution NOV
ing that the chamber accept the bud
get in the amount asked for by the
Promotion Committee, $3S.5S0, and
providing that a $6,720.5O surplus now
in the committees treasury be applied
on the budget, and not in addition
to it.
To this motion, E. A. Berndt, chair
man of the Promotion Committee,
took instant exception, holding that
the surplus should go into fund
which, when it reaches $4,000, be de-
voted to big mainland magazine and
newspaper publicity campaign adver-
tising Hawaii. A. p. Taylor, direct
or of the committee, made long
speech upholding Mr.. Berndt's atti-
tude.
Fred l.. Waldron, presiding, asked
Governor Lucius E. Pinkharn, who
came in after the meeting had come
to order, whether he would care to
say anything. The governor replied
he thought not, as the subject was
not anything for him to take a hand
In.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon a mo-
tlon to adopt the report of the finance
and audit committee failed by vote
OF 6 for and Is against. Chairman
Fred l.. Waldron declared the motion
lost and adjourned the meeting.
President Waldron adjourned the
meeting Immediately after the motion
was lost, without calling for a vote.

WkILUKU. Jan. 22.-Conficting re-
ports and opinions as to the number
missing are still prevalent in Wailuku
this morning. The coroner's jury did
not hold q session before 10:3O, ex-
pecting that the searching parties
working along the stream might find
the eight.year-old daughter of Mrs.
Sodetani. The girl is still missing.
and in spite Of the most diligent
search no trace Of her has so far been
found.
Twelve bodies have been reviewed
by the Jury. Members OF that jury
have expressed the opinion that sew
eral bodies are yet TO be discovered.
Many of those who lost relatives and
friends are of the same opinion, and
the most careful search In all con-
eeivable places is being kept up. The
calm sea Of yesterday and today may
give up some of the dead at any mo-
ment, for the torrent of raging water
was sufficiently strong even up to last
evening to carry away children, and
the stream is still wide In many
places. It would not be at all strange
if the missing should yet be found to
be dead and caught somewhere in the
stream or had been washed out to sea.

Figures Given Out BY Relief
Committee

That a total OF $4,000 will cover
the damages sustained by Wailuku
plantation Is the belief OF George II.
Robertson, vice-president and manager
OF c. Brewer & Company, who return
ed this morning from short trip to
Maui, having gone over the scene of
the flood devastation of last week.
There is not so much damage as
we thought there might be-" said Mr..
Robertson. Much OF the damage is
what might be called invisible OF
course. and viii be seen as time goes
on. However, believe that $50,OJO
will cover everything.
About dozen laborers' cottages
on the Wailuku plantation were wiped
out by the water. and six or seven
acres Of cane down In the stream
bed were completely swept away"
Mr.. Robertson says that the topog-
raphy- Of the river has been changed
greatly BY the flood, filing In here and
digging out there, with new channels
cut in many places.
Wailuku Not under Water
He says that W4iluku was not un,
der four feet OF water as was printed
elsewhere, and that Wailuku people
felt this was an unjust description Of
their little village. The water did its
damage down In the stream bed
proper.
