One by one the old landmarks of
Fort Shafter disappear before the
ruthless advance of Improvement.
Last night the old "sub-exchange." 10
Gated at the end of the ord car fine,
was vacated due to the observance of
the law that mo civilian shall have
places Of business on government res
eryations;" and so the old building
formerly used by Mr.. Banks will
cease to exist. The "sub-exchange"
about four years ago was located on
the opposite side of King street,
where the road runs into the hospital
garage, and was then the dwelling
and store of Chinese. Then a muir
der took place during an attempted
robbery of the little store and two
Filipinos were later executed for the
crime. Then the building was moved
over to the present site, remodeled
and used as a branch o. the Fort
Shafter exchange, under Lieut. Gle.
ment H. Wright as exchange officer.
Next it was leased to Mr.. Banks, but
the new law and the loss of business
due to the change in car service
leaves 1t again in the hands of the
government and its disuse and de-
struct'on are only a matter of time
