You will notice that the regulation
provides for committee of more than
ten Japanese residents. The committee
now consists of three members instead
of ten, and those three have exclusive
control over upwards of thirty thousand
dollars We believe that the interests
of the colony would be better served
if the committee was increased and the

After hearing the charge against the
Consul. a representative of the Adver-

Consulate and was very pleasantly re-

of the statements made the Consul
pointed to package of Hawaii Shin
poo's and said
You have heard of the attacks made
upon me by this paper. They have not
been upon my official, but my private
character and are of an ex-
ceedingly libelous nature. The pro-
prietor of the paper, Shimmezu, is
young man who was an advisor of
some kind for the Commercial Union.
Some time ago he went to Japan in
the interests of the Union. While
there, | am told, he formed mer-
chants club to work in conjunction
with the Union here. But during his
! absence trouble arose and Mr.. Kimu-
"a withdrew. He was valuable mem

| up into the hundreds of tons by nearly
every steamer The Union could not
! afford to lose him and a committee
waited on me for advice. l told them
| thought the best thing for them to do
was to shake hands with Mr. Kimura
and try and bring harmony into the
! organization One Of the committee
! if Kimura would not return to the
Union it could not continue to exist
and he asked me if | believed it best
to disband them. My advice to them
was to take a vote of the members OF
the Union and abide by their decision.
a short time afterwards the Union
went out of existence. When Mr.
Shimmezu returned and saw how af-
fairs stood he jumped to the conclu-
sion. from what l can learn, that
was responsible for it and commenced
his attacks upon me. He seems to fee
that his mission here is to attack the
consul for when Mr.. Fugii was here
he directed his spleen toward him.
AS to the charge that l have directly
or indirectly used my official position
TO benefit or injure any Japanese mer-
chant here 1 can only say it is abso

a Home for Incurables.
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-John B. Blair,
born in 1900, and who was at one time
famous and wealthy, died at the Home
for Incura bles. Blair was a famous
painter a.half century ago. His skill
is attested by the fact that his portrait
of President Taylor is hung in the
White House gallery. He was the first
painter of war panoramas, and was
eminently successful in this branch OF
art. He was the first to paint any
great panorama in this country. II
was pictures of birds of all the world,
and to accomplish this work he encir-
cled the globe twice. He was the in.
ventor of the silk-bag gas balloon.
Fifty years ago he invented bicycle
made on the same lines as the safety
bicycle of to-day. He added $500, O,OOo
to the wealth of well-known pencil
manufacturer by inventing the rubber
tip for pencils. He painted landscapes
of foreign countries and pictures OF
sheep in almost endless numbers, and
his auction sales of these were annual
events in art circles for a quarter of
century. Five years ago he was
stricken with paralysis, and three
years later became blind and also lost
the strength of his mind. He was
then placed in the Rome for Incur
ables.
