serves is being given prominent
place in the price argument Of the
future. That we are near the time
where mills deem it prudent to pro-
vide for the balance of the season, is
indicated by more general inquiry
for spots and out stock is attracting
interior buyers while the better rela-
tion between futures and spot quota
tions Is providing better buying
basis. 1t was reported this morning
that two thousand bales Of hedged
cotton had been bought on the closing
spurt in futures yesterday. First
trades in futures this morning were
at a to 10 decline, which was soon ex-
tended to evenly points. Tn emarket
in the past month has been tossed
about so much that confidence on the
bull side is quite low and the rallying
tendency in the market the past two
days is rather on feeling Of dam
ger from possible excesses among the
bear element. Interior spot quotations
all show II cents or above, with the
exception Of our market and it looks
like the second and stronger defense
line has been reached With May

sive this morning and the marke'
rallied from the first depression from

QUEENS HOSPITAL
MAY ERECT WING
TO COST 100000

Plans for the erection of a new
wing at the Queens hospital to cost
between $4,000 and 100000 are to
be considered by the trustees of the
institution at a special meeting to be
held sometime next week. Decision
to discuss the matter, and probably
appoint a committee to have the plans
drawn, was reached at meeting of
the trustees yesterday afternoon.
While it may be several months be-
fore building is begun, it was pointed
out by trustee today that the hospital
is now seriously handicapped by lack
of space, increase in the business of
the institution during the last year be-
ing largely responsible for this. The
proposed new wing will contain rooms
for patients. No other plans for i'm
,provements are being considered at
the present time.
Just now the hospital association
is facing a shortage of life members,
and it was announced today that be-
tween 1000 and 1900 new life mem
hers are needed. IF we could get this
many the troubles of the hospital
would be over" says trustee.

SCHOOL CHILDREN IN LONG
PROCESSION HONOR QUEEN

superintendent Of education, and Mrs.
Theodore F. Richards, led the march
ing column of tours into the church,
where, in solemn silence, the first of.
fering was laid just outside the
limit prescribed by the tabu stick. AS
the column reached the head of the
central aisle, the tours parted into
twos. one passing down the left and
the other down the right side aisles,
keeping the procession continuous and
uninterrupted. The twos joined into
fours again on the sidewalk outside
the church ground and continued the
line of march to the palace grounds,
where the column was disbanded
Although there was no music for
the march, there was not single
break in the line from the time the
column was formed until it was finally
broken up.
The schools which joined in this pro
cession of devotion to the queen were

Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-11-16

One of the most beautiful and i'm
pressive ceremonies that has yet been
held in connection with the week OF
mourning for Queen Liliuokalani was
the procession Of school children this
morning to the church, when wreaths
of ilfma and MALE were laid at the
foot of the bier, just outside the great
tabu stick that guards the casket.
The procession was made up of all
the eighth grade students from the
grammar schools and the seniors from
the Normal and Mckinley High
schools, with the principals and
eighth grade teachers of each of the
schools. .."s#
The line of march formed into tours
at Thomas Square, and proceeded in
close formation down King street to
Kawsiahao church, some idea of its
length being realized when it was
known that just as the first four in
line, preceded by Mrs. Theodore Rich.
ards and L. G. Blackman, school COM
missioners, entered the church, the
asst four was leaving Thomas Square.
Liliuokalani, being the queens
name school," she having laid the
cornerstone for the erection of the big
building in Kaimuki, was given the
place of honor in the procession. ALI

he boys wore dark suits, and all
marched with uncovered heads, keep
