Brigadier General Macomb deliv
ered an interesting address at the
Commercial Club this afternoon. Ed.
To'wse presided, and at the general's
table there were Colonel Jones, Ma
jor Campbell, Captain Carter, Lieu
tenant Andrews, E. A. Berndt, George
W. Bush and S. De Freest. There
was a largo gathering of business
men and others.
Brigadier General Macomb said:
. "It gives me great pleasure to be
here with you and to say a few
words for the arrny in Honolulu. It
is an excellent idea . that the army
and business men of Honolulu
should know a little more . of ono
another than they do. An opportu
nity of this sort Is welcomed by all.
Since we have been hero we have
been made to feel that we are of the
people of Hawaii, and we have been
Governor Frear this afternoon stated
that he would Issue a proclamation
declaring next Monday a legal holi
day, as Kamehameha Day. This was
..a result of a-call upon him by a joint
committee of the Chamber of Com
vmerco and Merchants' Association,
consisting of James F. Morgan, A. W.
T. Bottomley, J, A. Kennedy, Oscar
White, O. T. Swain and Emil A.
Berndt. One of the arguments used
was that pie day would bo practically
a holiday anyhow and might as well
be legalized as such, so that financial
lnsltutions might close.
Now will the Governor bo good and
'allow Hawaii to celebrate Its greatest
ancient anniversary without restraint
of business and toll?
At a special meeting of the trustees
of tho Chamber of Commerce this
morning a decided stand was taken on
behalf of preserving Kamehameha
WIND WRECKED
HOUSE IN MUROM
During the windstorm of last night
the skeleton of tho large two-story
dwelling A. M. Nowell Is having erect
ed on Rocky Hill. In College Hills
tract, was blown down. It was made
a complete wreck and tho damage will
amount to several hundred dollars.
The roof had been put on but tho
aides were not closed In, so to tho
structure was topheavy and, as tho
result proved, unfit to resist a moder

very pleased with our short stay.
Army and Navy Here.
"Normally, we shall be here for two
or three years, and, of course, the
army hero will Increase from tlmo to
time. We may go on, but others will
tako our places. The army is going
to bo a big factor In the development
of this town. In the first place, the
reason of having the army hero is due
to the fact that the commercial and
strategic value of these islands has
been recognized, Being of strajogio
value, of course, it will mean that the
inlands will bo the rendezvous for the
navy. They are of strategic value be-1
cause nearer to our coast than to any
other, and belonging to Our sphere.
Wo do not claim the supremacy of the
Pacific, but wo claim the supremacy
of pur own coast. The nations of the
world recognize that we have a right
in Hawaii. Wo have a fleet, and we
need a base for that fleet, and this
island will have ono of the greatest
bases If the government carries out
Its plans. We could not permit any
other power to occupy these' islands
for the simple reason that they may
use them as a base of operations
"against us, so wo have taken time by
the forelock and taken over these
is'ands of their own freo will, and
they have become part of our great
country.
Will Be More Infantry.
"Where there is a naval basis there
must be an army to protect the baso
while tho navy Is protecting the seas.

and A. W. T. Bottomley was appointed
to wait on Governor Frear and see If
ho can not bo Induced to proclaim
Monday, June 12, as a public holiday,
the preceding Sunday being Kameha

Supervisor Murray and Kruger "got
busy" this morning with a plan for a
special meeting of the board to declaro
a county holiday on Monday. It was
decided, however, that the matter was
oue for the mayor, with the result
that an executive order may be made
declaring a holiday.
NOT RE-EMPLOYED
T. H. Gibson of the board of educa
tion stated this morning, in answer
to a question as to whether Mrs.
Compton had applied for re-appoint-ment
as a teacher, that sho had Tiot
dona so.
"I understand," said Mr. Gibson,
"that tho board would not have re-
appointed her oven if sho had applied,

Island Of Kahoolawe
Taken By Territory For
The leaso of the Island of Kahoo
lawe is to bo cancelled, nnd tho island
passes immediately under the con
trol of the Doard of Agricultural and
Forestry, to bo used in future to show
the effect of forestatlon on the rain
fall of the island and that portion of
Maul which lies opposite It.
This is in consideration of the remis
sion of back rent, amounting to $625
and owed by the present lessee, Ebon
P. Low.
Mr. Low agrees to got all his stock
off the island by the end of tho year
and in tho Bamo period to kill all the
wild goats on the island. Ho will also
assist the board of agriculture and.
forestry by furnishing r.GTsesfor'the
carrying on of the board's work.
Whatever improvements thero are
on tho Island will remain as they aro.
Speaking of the matter this morn
ing, Governor Frear said:
"A bill was presented at the last leg
islature Intended to resultln the can
cellation of the lease of Kahoolawe in
consideration of the remission of hack
rent. I agreed with tho object of the
bill but was obliged to pocket -veto It
for technical reasons. I did so with
the idea of carrying out Its purpose, if
possible, in other ways. Indeed the
bill could not add to tho power of tho
appropriate officials In this respect.
"I was very glad to have the leg
islature approve of the contemplated
act and the bill, though pocket-vetoed,
might be considered In tho nature of
a concurrent resolution.
"The lease is an old one and was
made for a term of fifty yeara to ex
pire a year and a half hence- The is
land has already been proclaimed a
forest reserve and It is very desirable
In the public Interest that the board
of agrlculturo and forestry should ob
tain control as soon as possible.

There was splendid fishing along

"Wo wish to re-cover the island

lieved in former times to have had an
Important Inftuenco on tho rainfall of
that portion of Maul which lies op
posite. This was, of courso, in the
days when tho Island was well for

Mr, Nowell, director of tho United
States reclamation ggrvfge, thought
that the island offereS peculiarly good
opportunities to test tho influence of
forests on rainfall. Wo have In Ka

methods we shall bo able to watch the
effect on the rainfall for a number of
years of a gradually Increasing forest.
"Scientists are more or less In the
dark as to Just how far forestatlon In

ever, that forests conserve rainfall.
"Possession of the Island will bo
turned over at ones to t,he board of
agrlculturo and forestry, who will en
deavor to make the Island self-supporting
by maintaining beehives and
allowing a few horses to roam over It.
These will do no great damage to the
young trees and will assist in the
spreading of the algaroba. By this
means wo may be able to get tho
island reforested with little or no ex
